Over the past ten years, Sordar City had gone through great changes.
Under Chen Heng's efforts, Sordar City had become a city that was not inferior to the Kutu Royal City. Even though it was not as prosperous in some areas, it was not inferior at all.
The sharpness and vitality it contained was something that the Kutu Royal City did not have before.
Within the city, there were residents, freedmen, mercenaries, slaves, and even Outlanders walking about.
This scene was quite rare in other places, but it was quite common here.
Because of the announcement of the Development Domain, every year, there would be large numbers of mercenaries and nobles who thirsted for territory and merit points coming here to replenish their supplies and equipment so that they would be able to fight better.
The reason why Sordar City was able to develop so quickly in just ten or so years was because of these people.
Over the past few years, because of the stable defenses, the pressure that Sordar faced greatly decreased. The people settled down, and the population gradually grew.
While the city was developing steadily, many refugees were attracted to this place. They swarmed in and became a part of the city.
The current Sordar region had changed greatly from when Chen Heng had first arrived.
The nomadic tribes, savages, and even some desert Outlander slaves had all been assimilated by Chen Heng over the years and had become part of this city.
It had to be said that this was a huge achievement.
At that moment, the ruler of Sordar, the Royal Guardian Knight Kaylin, sank into his thoughts in his room.
"Is the information accurate?"
Sitting at his desk, Chen Heng raised his head and looked at the emissary in front of him as he asked seriously.
"I've already confirmed it."
In front of him, the envoy nodded with a serious expression, confirming that there was nothing wrong with his information.
"A rebellion?"
Thinking about the information that the envoy had brought, Chen Heng sank into his thoughts.
After ten years of change, after a long period of peace, the Kutu Royal City had once again fallen into chaos.
In the south, it seemed that some rulers had started a rebellion, openly opposing the Kutu Royal City's royal family. They had even publicly attacked a few of the royal family's territories and conquered them.
Facing this sudden rebellion, within the Kutu Royal City, Olivia was naturally furious and sent out her own army to suppress it, but they were defeated.
The rebel lords were not simple, and they seemed to have the support of the Olis Kingdom. Not only had they repelled the army that Olivia had sent out, but they had also taken advantage of this opportunity to devour even more territory.
Many lords were forced to join the rebel camp and rebel against the royal family.
It just happened so suddenly.
The sudden rebellion caused everyone to be dumbfounded, and Olivia's failure to suppress it showed many people how weak the royal family's power was.
In response, many lords became restless and were still observing from the sidelines.
And at this critical juncture, Olivia fell ill.
Not only was he sick, but he seemed to be seriously ill. He would often pass out and even vomit blood.
These symptoms could not help but make people think of the previous King.
The reason why the previous King was bedridden was because of this illness.
This disease was fine at the beginning, but as time passed, it would become more and more serious. In the end, it would even affect the spirit, making people unable to take care of themselves.
Right now, Olivia seemed to be suffering from this disease.
Once this news spread, everyone felt quite panicked.
Different from the previous King, Olivia did not have any children.
This did not mean that she did not have any children but that she did not have any legitimate children.
In actuality, with how Olivia kept male slaves, it would be strange if she did not have any children of her own.
However, these children were all viewed as illegitimate children and did not have the right to inherit the throne.
As long as she had legitimate children, she would not have any.
As the Queen of the Kutu Principality, Olivia did not marry anyone, so she naturally did not have any legitimate children.
According to this age's rules, if she did not have legitimate children, she would not have a legitimate successor.
This was quite dire.
With the southern rulers rebelling and Olivia falling ill, she did not even have a Crown Prince who could help her stabilize the situation.
The situation was quite chaotic.
Looking at this news, Chen Heng knew that Olivia was truly in danger.
Within the Kutu Principality, because of what Olivia had done in the past, many rulers were quite displeased with her. It was just that they did not dare to show it.
However, now that the southern rulers rebelled, the royal family's army had been defeated, and Olivia had fallen ill …
Olivia and the royal family's weakness was immediately exposed.
Under these circumstances, it was hard to say if the rulers who were displeased with Olivia would not have any thoughts.
This kind of situation could be said to be like lighting a match in a pile of dry firewood. It would immediately ignite and ignite a flame.
Under these flames, Olivia's situation would become incredibly difficult.
Chen Heng silently thought to himself.
After ten years, the current situation had changed a lot from the past.
Olivia's territory had greatly expanded over the past ten years.
However, these territories were basically seized from the original Overlords, so they were a complete mess. They weren't well managed, so they couldn't be considered power at all. They could only be considered as territories on the surface.
Over the past few years, even though Olivia had used all sorts of methods to take over other people's territories, her way of managing her territories was still the same as before, and it was quite backward.
Facing the increasingly large and complicated territories, with her backward management system, she could not manage them well at all.
As such, to Olivia, these new territories were not power, and to a certain extent, they were a burden.
The power that truly belonged to her was still her previous territories.
These territories were split into the territories that she had directly controlled before she became the Queen and the territories that belonged to the royal family.
The former could bring out roughly 10,000 people, while the latter …
According to Chen Heng's estimations, if Olivia made up her mind and used all of the royal family's power to fight, she would be able to bring out 30,000 to 40,000 people from the royal family's territories in a short period of time.
Of course, he could not guarantee the quality of the training.
Without sufficient training and weapons, they would not have much battle power.
However, if Olivia was given some time, she would be able to bring out an army.
Now, it was up to her to see if she had the opportunity.
