Leazas Rebel Army

"Ex Banquet, pondering his decision to form the rebellion."

- No matter how I look at it, I just can't figure it out... I can't see anything about this Rance person that makes him seem like an appropriate king...... But, well... No use thinking about it now. The die is cast. No choice but to fight... I'm the leader of the rebel army... If I waver, then so too will the people that are fighting for me and believe in me. What I have to consider now is... Winning this fight and doing what's right for this country and its people...

About
The Leazas Rebel Army was a resistance movement formed by Ex Banquet, general of the Leazas White Corps, in opposition to the newly-crowned King of Leazas Rance during the events of Kichikuou Rance.

The organization was formed immediately after Rance's highly controversial coronation speech, during which he declared that all of Leazas' citizens were to throw their lives away for the sake of helping him achieve his own selfish ambitions. Several revolts occurred all across the nation in response, causing it to fall deep into chaos. At the coaxing of his mentor and former superior Pegasus Fort, who firmly believed that Leazas would fall into ruin under Rance's rule, Ex rallied together as much of the Leazas Army as he could in a single night in order to oust the new king from power.

The Rebel Army consisted of 6,500 soldiers from each of the nation's military units, totaling to almost half of Leazas' entire armed forces. In addition to Ex and Pegasus, 8 high ranking members of the Leazas army assisted in leading the troops, including the lieutenant general of the White Corps and the daughter of the Leazas Army's Supreme Commander Barres Province Haurein Province and the lieutenant commander of the Leazas Mage Corps Melfeis Promenade. Its headquarters stationed in the city of Oaks, the group also managed to occupy the cities of Baranchi, Ys, South and Oku, a substantial portion of Leazas' territory. The strength and size that the Rebel Army was able to amass in such a short amount of time serves as a testament to both Ex's superb skill as a strategist and the general public's hatred of Rance. Despite this, the army was still much smaller than Ex had anticipated it to have been, as he expected for his close friends and fellow generals Rick Addison and Cordoba Burn to have joined the cause. In reality, however, both men chose to remain loyal to the monarchy over Ex, and kept their most loyal soldiers along with them.

While the Rebel Army proved to be a difficult foe for the remainder of the Leazas Army to combat, it was ultimately unable to accomplish its goal of overthrowing Rance, and was destroyed in a number of weeks. The rebellion's failure resulted in the needless deaths of countless excellent soldiers, including Pegasus and potentially Ex himself, and was seen as the moment in history that cemented Rance as a truly brutal tyrant.
