That's a really fast misinformation campaign. The rebels are also being really honorable on the battlefield, so that doesn't hurt their standing in the eyes of the conscripts. | |

| Mar 18, 2017 at 8:07 | comment | added | Gryphon | Good suggestions, but unfortunately the other side (who are defending themselves) are the 'good guys/protagonists' in the story, and they have to be honorable :( The whole point of this question was to get a/some reason(s) for them to continue to fight long enough to kill some overly OP rebels before fleeing. They're reluctant to fight for the king who has been taxing them half to death (and you thought income tax was bad, try 70-80%), but keep fighting anyway because of ? | |
