How exactly did Jowstone invade Moravia?
Viktor delivered the letter from Mathiu to Anabelle after he briefly left the army following Neclord’s death. Anabelle was fully aware that Mathiu was trying to “use” Jowstone forces, but because Viktor was her friend, she brought the news that “The imperials have dropped their guard of Senan” at the Jowston Hill conference. Tinto and Southwindow agreed immediately. This is from the Suikoden 1 novel. Other sources say that Jowston was told the Imperials were planning an attack, so Konami doesn’t have consistent info regarding this incident. One thing for certain is that Jowston really didn’t know much about what was happening in Toran. The two nations are pretty far apart, and as Viktor says, it takes 6 months to travel from one to the other. There’s also no radio, tv, or internet in the Suikoden world, so people won’t really have any accurate information. Shu is obviously created after the infamous Zhuge Liang. Shu has to acknowledge though, and is aware of this from the beginning IMO
