Strmol Castle, Carinola, Holy Roman Empire
20 June 1762
Stromol Castle was a short distance outside Krainberg. The march here had been rather uneventful, with von Strmol's men valuing their lives too much to challenge the approaching Imperial Army. The detachment that marched on the city from the northeast had arrived before Joseph's and had already scouted and taken position around the city and the rebel's castle. Joseph's army simple reinforced them.
"We met no serious opposition," the detachment's commander answered. "We did capture a few highwaymen, however. We seized their weapons and conscripted them, per your instructions."
Joseph nodded. They'd seized a farmhouse for their meeting and were now reviewing the situation. Von Strmol's was unable to challenge him, as they'd expected. Joseph had been concerned that the Hungarian rebels would intervene on the false Duke's behalf, but perhaps the rebels there had not yet centralized enough power. Though it was for the best, Joseph was a little pained they'd raised any unnecessarily large army. "Excellent," he replied. Normally, he'd have executed brigands without a second thought; but in this case, they were simply victims of circumstances and it'd better serve the incoming Duke of Carinthia and Carinola to pardon them. Of course, simply pardoning criminals would be too arbitrary, so they were conscripted for the subjugation of the false Duke.
It was good von Strmol's men were unequipped to oppose the Imperial Army or it'd have simply backfired.
"You may command the attack on Krainberg," Joseph continued, looking at the detachment's commander. "I will be at Strmol Castle taking the rebel's head."
"Understood."
