The Absorption of the Empire

By aiding the Empire and then engaging in war, only to be subsequently declared upon by Lombardy to the south, Ryzet Kingdom found itself battling on two fronts.

The Ryzet Kingdom, with its modest territory, faced a dire predicament. 

Once occupied by the Oungria Kingdom, there would be no chance for Lombardy to claim it. 

Although Oungria and Lombardy were not at war, they couldn't launch military offensives against areas effectively controlled by the other. 

The situation was intricate, yet manageable with smooth communication.

As the war commenced, a flurry of letters was exchanged between Florence and Pist. 

With the progression of hostilities, both Edward and Howard, who preferred leading their troops in battle, found their locations constantly shifting. 

Edward urged Howard to halt the siege of Ryzet Kingdom's castles and fortresses, suggesting they be left for Lombardy.
