Preparation for the Bloody Winter
Charles was standing still in front of his army. He stood on a podium, if one saw the wave of army troops flooded a very wide meadow with their presence, they would be surprised that Crown Prince Charles owned all those vigorous soldiers. Most of them were following the Crown Prince by their own willingness.
Crown Prince Charles was famous for his military tactics against skirmishes with other countries. He could also recolonize many countries that broke away from Golden Camellia's restraint. Those small countries had had their short-lived freedom until Charles came and massacred them ruthlessly and recolonized them again, just with a steel hand.
He was quite different from Emperor Leopold or Emperor Ludwig, Charles was ruthless to the bone, naturally cunning, since he could break the trust of many countries and create internal conflict in ease.
