With the collapse of the kingdom that ruled the continent, the continent was thrown into chaos, and the Church wanted them because of the catastrophe that had escaped to the continent as the test subjects of the former testing ground, the humans with the power of ghosts and gods. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The original kingdom was divided into two parts, the eastern and western regions, one of which was made up of separate human nobles, and the rest of which was where the power of the original kingdom was stable, where the people and nobles still regarded themselves as orthodox and hostile to the forces located in the west.

The eastern and western regions, which were already divided by mountains, had subtle differences in culture, customs, and linguistic ethnicity, and under the circumstances of the time, that is, under the implicit impetus of the Church, they gradually became hostile to each other.

And now the church is divided.

The headquarters of the church is located in the west, but due to the collapse of the kingdom, the east and the west are essentially divided, and the nobles in the east have a strong dignity, and they have always felt honored for their orthodoxy, so naturally they cannot allow the headquarters of the church of the unified faith of the kingdom to be in the west, and they have repeatedly asked the church to relocate.

And in order to get the hole cards to bring the church to its knees, they did a big thing, and they agreed to control the entire eastern church power in the hands of the eastern world.

For this reason the aristocracy of the East quickly united,

The suppression of the churches in the east, first of all, the arrest of bishops everywhere,

Then take back all the lands controlled by the Church,

From then on, the power of the aristocracy also decided the choice of bishops of the region.

They demanded that the Church carry out its own demands, and that they were morally demanding of the Church in the orthodox capacity of the Kingdom, because the Church was nominally subordinate to the Emperor of the Kingdom, and the Pope was always canonized from the bishop by the Emperor during the Kingdom era, which is something that everyone knows.

But does the kingdom still have prestige over the independent west? No.

The western capital revered the Church, which was originally the most backward part of the kingdom, but also the most devout and fanatical, because the divine punishment was known to all, and many people even witnessed the destruction of the royal capital.

The current royal capital imperial city is the location of the western church, but the imperial city has disappeared, and the church is still re-establishing there and building the church palace, and the ruins of the royal capital have long been called "the ruins of the king", which represents not only a royal city being treated as a relic, but also a negation of the past kingdom.

The West is already tired and hated of the kingdom because they have set aside God and are trying to be equal to Him, or even surpass Him, and even if the West still has a little respect for the Kingdom, how can the East represent a kingdom that has perished with the destruction of kings?

The continent is still suffering from the consequences of the catastrophe, and the monsters, ghosts and gods born in that experiment, are still terrifying to all humans.

The ghost god is the result of the experiment in the original kingdom testing ground, the kingdom sent an army to capture the chosen people, and then instilled the power of the ghost god in the testing ground, and the result was indeed to create powerful weapons, even far more terrifying individuals than the demons.

It was very dangerous, but after all, they were imprisoned in the test ground, which was made of strong materials, and even they could not break through, and the people of the kingdom at that time were not afraid of ghosts and gods, and even thought that they were slaves and ornaments made by humans.

At that time, part of the test ground was open to the public, and the court people who were often full of the imperial city, and even all the people of the entire royal capital, went there to watch the killing activities of the ghosts and gods, and felt great pleasure in it, and those ghosts and gods were no different from the gladiators in the slave horn capital tournaments held in ancient times to please the nobles, the only difference was that the descendants of the former slaves were now nobles and became spectators.

The contest of demons and gods was a temptation by the kingdom to shift the study of the realm of the gods from the shadows to the open, and as a result, the people did not care about it, and there was no opposition from all the believers in the kingdom.

Even at that time, except for the people of the Holy See, there were people who believed that ghosts and gods were a kind of existence that could be exploited.

And what are these ghosts and gods created by the kingdom?

They usually don't look much different from humans, but once the power in their bodies is activated, they will instantly become monster-like existences, irrational, and powerful to the point of unimaginable, if it weren't for the fact that the testing ground is the material left over from the era of the god saints and said to be from the world where the gods are, I'm afraid that the ghosts and gods would have broken through the confinement there and turned the entire kingdom into hell.

This is what happened later, with the advent of divine punishment, the test site was also destroyed, and many ghosts and gods fled to the continent in this way, in the west and east, in the north and south, there were their figures.

Up to now, the ghosts and gods have brought great disasters, countless human beings have been killed, even the most conservative estimate, there are millions, and there are many people who cannot be counted at all, for example, the recorded population of the mainland is 70 million, but in fact the population may be 200 million, or even more.

After the destruction of the kingdom, the purpose of the demonic experiment was gradually revealed, and with it the separation of the fanatical believers of the entire West, followed by the self-division of the West, and then the strange situation of the East being divided politically but united.

The western part of the country fell into chaos, and the provinces in the western region of the kingdom of Obelius, which had the size of the empire, were now independent of each other, and some of the provinces were divided into countless small kingdoms and principalities.

The largest principality in the west is the Duchy of Hemelmas, which is called a duchy but is a collection of countless small principalities, and does not belong to the Great Kingdom individually, and the most powerful of the Great Kingdoms was established by the indigenous people of the Far North who were once not conquered by the Empire.

The natives were not conquered by the mighty kingdom of Obelius, but were overrun by her province-sized insurgents, and coalesced into a single power.

The original province of Marla, when it became independent in the west, was established by the local nobles called the kingdom of Balevak, and then conquered the far north, which is the northwestern mountain people of the entire continent, and then conquered an island unknown to everyone at that time, the Kaulian Raya Islands, and established the Western Santa Queilea (Great Kingdom) Empire, the only self-proclaimed empire in the west.

Later, the empire collapsed, but at that time it was indeed the most powerful country in the west, and it was also a country under the direct control of the Holy See.

It should also be said that the system in the west is also different from that in the east, the west is a knightly feudal territorial system, and the power of the kingdom is decentralized to the localities, while the east is still a centralized system in the kingdom era.

In this regard, the east has a huge advantage over the west, but in fact, the current east has not yet been integrated, so the centralization of power is in name only.

But no matter what,

To this day, the descendants of the kingdoms of the east and the west,

At this time, the church also has its own plans, the power of the church is in the west, and the power covers the secular kingdoms and principalities of the entire western continent, once it is moved, first of all, the power in the west will not be able to be maintained, and in the east, it is on the territory of the other party, and it must be controlled in comparison.

The Church refused, and demanded that the East submit to the arrangements of the Church, and the East refused, triggering the first great schism of the Church itself, in which all the nobles of the East were united, and they reached an agreement with some of the bishops of the Eastern Church to canonize one of them as the Pope, while the East was to declare its secession from the Church.

In this way, something happened that made the church angry, but it was powerless to stop it in all aspects, in terms of strength, although the east was not really unified, but the sense of belonging was extremely strong, once the church launched a war from the west to the east, the east was likely to be quickly unified under this pressure, and then the church would not gain more than it would lose, and if it relied on morality, it would not work, the church in name, it also needed to obey the emperor of the kingdom, and the east was the orthodox descendant of the kingdom.

And counting on God, that's not okay, it's a private matter of mortals, and the east is still the lord of the light, for God, that's enough, as for the kingdom has a record of trying to surpass God, but isn't God already punishing God?

After hundreds of years, the continent began to be different,

The east and west parts that are blocked by the great mountain range are now in a kind of political division.

But it's starting to be fundamentally different.

At this moment,

The eastern region was still under the actual control of the descendants of the kingdom, but it was not that the armies in various places did not recognize the co-masters, so they would not belong to an entity politically.

But in terms of language, customs, culture, economy and identity, the whole East has always considered them one.

The West, on the other hand, is different, filled with inter-ethnic slaughter.

As a result, the remnants of the kingdom in the east could gradually recover and quickly unify under the leadership of the new emperor, while the west never integrated again from the chaos.

Of course, in terms of the power of the Holy See, the entire western region can indeed be regarded as a unified theocracy covered and controlled by the Church, because the secular kingdoms or principalities in the entire western region are actually controlled by the Church, at least with the power not inferior to the kings and grand dukes of various countries.

The unification of the east, which had been the core of the kingdom, was brought back together as a result of various compromises and promises of war.

The west is still divided, but under the power of the Church, it is militarily united in the face of the east.

The balance of power is still there.

The East began to refer to itself as an empire, the Maxoron Empire, but in the West, they are often referred to as the East Maxoron Empire.

Empire means great kingdom in the eastern language, and the west originally did not have the word empire, and later, in order to distinguish between the two sides, the new country established by the descendants of the eastern kingdom was specially called the empire.

When the eastern kingdoms show their ambition and disgust with the west, they will call them the kingdom of slave owners, the kingdom of barbarians, while they themselves have the honor of a thousand-year-old empire, and are always silent in honor and pride, and from time to time they want to annex the west.

The sentiment of the Western forces towards the East is similar, in their opinion, the East is an apostate, an ungrateful enemy, a more hateful heresy than the Demons, who are only heretics, while the East is a heresy.

So

Although the western territories of the former kingdom that were caught in various wars also broke out among themselves, they always showed a consistent attitude towards the provocation from the Eastern Empire, that is, crusade.

There have been dozens of major wars between the East and the West, the crusade of the previous empire, many countries under the leadership of the Church have almost perished, many places have been annexed by the empire, and even the only empire, Santa Icasia, has also been destroyed.

On the way to take refuge in other countries, Queen Snakaran of the Duchy of Hemmumas was captured by a pirate army consisting of several kingdoms of the Kaurien Raya Islands, which had been hired by the Eastern Empire.

The most famous of the later campaigns was the Battle of Van Kensted's Heights, in which dozens of knightly orders of the Holy See were destroyed, the Church reached the point where it was about to send priests to the front, and the Pope almost intended to surrender in secret.

But in the later stages, I don't know if it was the Lord of Light who helped the church.

A great plague has descended and affected only the east.

The odds of victory in the east were wiped out by the Great Plague, which was known as the "Plague of Justinian", in which most of the population of the empire died and the army suffered heavy casualties, regardless of the truth, the church naturally declared that it was God's will, and the morale of the eastern army was greatly damaged.

The church began to fight back, began to take the opportunity to form more legions, and even allied with the dwarves and dark elves, using the power of the dwarves and dark elves to deal with the other side of the same human, of course, they themselves knew that this kind of thing was not easy to confuse the past, so they simply admitted it, and said the famous sentence:

"Heretics are more odious than heretics. ”

In this continent where humans live, there are not only human races.

In the abyss of the Dark Canyon in the south, there are dark elves, and the place they occupy is very small compared to the entire continent, and the overall number is not comparable to that of humans, but this does not prevent them from joining the chaos of human beings, when the dark elves also broke out of the plague, and at the same time suffered from the danger of ghosts and gods, and there are also some ghosts and gods among the dark elves,

Unlike humans, the ghosts and gods of the elves are due to the secret agreement between some unscrupulous priests and some evil beings, and finally mutate into some kind of existence, called ghosts, but they are not the human body-shaped ghosts and gods created by using the power of ghosts and gods in the testing ground.

Those who have been seduced by evil beings have an ulterior relationship with the Great Plague, but the Dark Elves are powerless to solve the problem, and the Church is said to be able to save them.

As for the dwarves living in the depths of the great mountain range in the northwest, they were originally undisputed, but because the orcs discovered the secrets of the strait and were violated by the orcs, they had to change their attitude towards the civil war between humans.

They also hope to form an alliance with humans to jointly defend against the orcs, naturally with the Western Alliance, which is the closest to them, and the straight dwarves will soon meet with some Western nobles and people from the Holy See.

Immediately afterwards, they reached an agreement with the Church not to send troops directly, but to provide craftsmen and various iron ores necessary to make weapons to help them win, and then the Church proposed to the human nations an agreement to help the dwarves in the orc crusade.

In the last few wars of the Church, the new army sent with the help of the dwarven master finally attacked the capital of the empire and captured it, and then an expeditionary army called the new army of Jihad slaughtered the entire city for ten days under the ignorance of the Holy See.

"Kill all heretics that the eyes of the Lord can see. ”

But the actual aim was that the Church coveted the wealth of the city and slaughtered in the name of religious faith, despite the fact that they had repeatedly preached to the world, "to be tolerant of repentant heretics." ”

And it also re-proposed, "There is no need to tolerate heresy." ”

According to the covenant account: "The Lord admonishes me that you will destroy the flesh of those who disobey, and destroy their souls, and punish them." ”

Although this is not the original covenant, the church says yes, that is.

The New Army of Jihad carried out all sorts of crimes against the East, raping millions of women in the war and then killing them, because the Church decreed that illegitimate children were blasphemous to the Lord, and that the Church considered all sins, the original sins of man, except for necessary sex, to be stoned to death or burned at the stake for those who did not regulate.

The war lasted for seventy years, but then it was terminated by the sudden attack of the orcs, and the church was actually exhausted at that time, and if it continued to fight, it was bound to lose.

The war against the Empire was at a complete stalemate for the next forty years, and several times the volleyball court armies eventually retreated from the easternmost part of the Empire on their own, and the Church army was simply unable to adapt to the harsh and extreme weather and heat of the East.

Therefore, the East and the West did not sign any agreement, but they stopped the war with each other, and the East did not take advantage of the fire to rob the Church, because the Church at this time was not only the Church, but also the Holy See of mankind.

The church began to defend against the orcs, but it was strange that the orcs always withdrew at critical moments, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding with the church.

In the war against the orcs, the dwarves were nearly wiped out, and the dark elves suffered heavy casualties due to the intrigues of the inner priests, and had to retreat back to their place of life.

The ensuing Centennial Church seems to have been mired in an endless war,

And the only two alien allies of the past have also perished in name one after another,

Until now, the western countries alone have faced the pressure of the orcs, and the eastern empire suddenly seems powerless, but in fact, the eastern empire is already a foreign power, and the various systems that were once proud have collapsed, and the power of the church is actually stronger than before.

The dwarves and dark elves are still disconnected from the church, and the dark elves have recovered with the help of the church, and the killers behind the church have many skills, such as those of the dark elves.

Now the church, no, it should be said that the Holy See (after the split between the Eastern and Western Churches, the Orthodox Church in the west is strictly called the Holy See, but it still has the name of the church) is planning a full-scale war against the east again, and the only thing that can restrain them is the existence of orcs, but what is the relationship between the orcs and the Holy See?

Only the Holy See is clear.
