Darich shook his head at Blade.

"Won't work."

"Why?" Theo asked with a raised brow. "Sounds like a good idea to me."

"Won't work." Darich said again. "You don't think we've tried this before?  The serfs are too beaten down.  Over a thousand years of oppression.  You don't overcome that kind of conditioning.  The rebellion attracts the radical ones even they're timid."

"Yes, Darich here is living proof of that." Gell agreed.

"Yeah," Alecos said, "We'll have to get the Garrison out of the city.  With the Great Houses handled, we should be safe behind the walls."

Theo nodded. "I can hold this city with, say, ten thousand men.  The Empire would fracture, and we could use that treasury's funds to pay the surrounding armies into supporting us."

"Willing that we have ten thousand men." Alecos said. "Which brings us back to how we intend to raise these forces."
