The deterioration of the situation in the southern borders is an unexpected crisis.
The Second Dynasty did not ignore the Cecil Clan—the fact is, ever since the turmoil of Fog Month a hundred years ago, the new royal family with hidden inheritance risks has never relaxed its vigilance against the southern borders. Among the four protectorate dukes, the Cecil Clan is the only one that declined due to the Fog Month turmoil. When it began declining, its remaining forces were still sufficient to shake the entire kingdom's foundation. The Second Dynasty, with the support of the other three protectorate dukes, took a whole hundred years to divide and suppress the southern borders to the current situation, clearly indicating its emphasis on the southern borders.
After Gawain suddenly rose from the grave, this emphasis became even more pronounced.
