Mayor Louis Baudelaire ran toward me, his face beaming with excitement.

“Baron Rothschild, Baron, we’ve done it!”

However, his words lacked the details of how and why this had happened.

With just what he said, it was impossible to tell exactly what he meant...

But it seemed obvious enough without him spelling it out.

A man like him, covered in bloodstains, and the mayor at that, running around in a panic — something must have happened for him to be so worked up.

"Did you succeed in killing the commanders of the support troops?"

"Yes, Baron! We successfully wiped out all the commanding officers, including those ranked as Battalion Commander and above. From now on, Mayor Louis Baudelaire and all officials and soldiers of Guillaume City will act according to your command."

This was also common in the case of coups.

When you manage to sway the commander of a division, you can mobilize the full strength of that division, but sometimes battalion commanders or regimental commanders refuse to follow orders.@@novelbin@@

This could complicate things if you had a division commander on your side, but the lower-level commanders refused to comply.

Although Louis and his immediate subordinates were on our side, it would still be more accurate to say that we hadn’t yet fully seized control of the entire city.
