The history of the development of the Holy Light Empire
At the moment, the history of the Holy Light Empire is not very long. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's only been a little over 100 years.
In both legends and history books, the first emperor of the empire, Wright I, is portrayed as a hero with incomparable wisdom and infinite divine power.
More than a hundred years ago, Paul. Wright was born into a small family near the border with Leeds.
He was the son of the patriarch of this small family.
As a teenager, he inherited the patriarchate position of his deceased father.
He first spent more than ten years cultivating power, and finally successfully staged a coup d'état to replace the king of the Kingdom of Leth and establish his own country, the Kingdom of Holy Light.
Paul became King Paul I in this year.
Then, the Kingdom of Light miraculously annexed several surrounding human nations in succession.
The most incredible thing is that during the ten years of the kingdom, the Holy Religion of Light, which was only a small religion of the Kingdom of York, joined forces to eliminate the royal family of the Kingdom of York, and annexed the territory in one fell swoop, and the Kingdom of York, whose population was ten times that of the Kingdom of Light at that time.
This move marked the leap of the Kingdom of Light from a small third-rate country to one of the superpowers.
The Holy Cult of Light also became a super religion in this year.
His army then defeated the orcs entrenched in the northern part of the Great Wasteland, seized control of the Suezkena River, which connects the Meditrenir Sea to the Red Sea, and then occupied the northern part of the Great Wasteland.
This move laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Light to become stronger in the future.
In his later years, King Paul I, in order to distinguish himself from many kings, was proclaimed emperor after the hierarchy of the elves, the oldest and most civilized race in history.
The Kingdom of Light was renamed the Empire of Light, and Paul I abandoned his name and became Wright I.
This move was made to show that the emperor existed for the state and also represented the state.
After the death of this generation of famous monarchs, the eldest son, Jack. Wright ascended the throne.
He did not call himself Jack I, but called Wright II according to his father's rule, and this practice has been preserved as a practice ever since.
Although this emperor did not inherit his father's divine powers, he inherited his father's wisdom.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he began to strengthen the centralization of power, successfully curtailing the power in the hands of the great nobles and the church, and concentrating them in his own hands.
After the monopoly of military and political power, Wright II gathered an army and actively expanded outward.
At this time, the Imperial Army became more powerful than ever, and it swept through the human nations on the northern coast of the Meditrenier Sea, and helped the White Elf Empire defeat the Black Elves.
Since then, the Holy Light Empire and the White Elf Empire have divided the territory of the Black Elf Empire, a vast forest on the southern shore of the Meditrenir Sea, which is the size of the total area of the Holy Light Empire when Wright II first ascended the throne.
The Black Elves move north.
After the death of Wright II at the hands of the undead, with the support of the Pope, the then little prince, later Wright III, took control of the country and succeeded in exterminating the dark wizard Dark Devil.
At this time, the Church regained its grip on the right to collect taxes and own an army.
After that, the empire tore up a peace treaty with the White Elf Empire, which was originally located on the rich plains southwest of the Holy Light Empire, and went to war with it.
After a long war, the Imperial Army finally defeated the White Elf army.
The White Elves migrated south.
The early development of the empire can be said to be smooth sailing, attacking the land and destroying the country, and acquiring large tracts of land and wealth with the momentum of the wind and waves.
But since then, the Empire's once invincible front has begun to suffer repeated setbacks - defeating the Black Elves who have migrated north to the Black Forest; Defeated in the east by the Hill Dwarven Empire; Desert peoples defeated in the Aibo Desert in the southeast.
The empire suffered heavy losses after a long war.
As a result of the consumption of large numbers of people in the war, the labor force of young and middle-aged people became scarce, and large tracts of land were barren; The people are becoming more war-weary, and there are often people fleeing because they have evaded military service; The war requires countless amounts of money, and in order to maintain military expenses, there are many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people are miserable, and there are frequent uprisings in various parts of the empire, and the situation of the Holy Light Empire is precarious.
Fortunately, from the late Wright III, under the intervention of Pope Charles I, who put him on the throne, the policy of the empire began to change. He abolished many miscellaneous taxes and stopped large-scale foreign wars. The Imperial Army was on the defensive, and the Empire entered a period of relative peace for several decades, with only occasional foreign military use.
Therefore, since Wright III, the territory of the empire has been basically finalized, and it can be roughly divided into three parts: the original birthplace of the empire - the six provinces of Lees, Leth, Ries, Serus, York, and Nia located in the eastern part of the Meditrinier Sea; a large area of rich land on the northern shore of the Sea of Meditrenir - the thirteen provinces of Sheena, Chierton, Abaya, Pakdao, Bans, Lang Than, Tayi, Venlo, Roque, Poya, Sena, Ras, and Paoya; The entire territory of the former White Elf Empire and the Black Elf Empire located in the southern part of the Meditrenir Sea, that is, the four largest provinces of the current Empire, namely Romo, Yariger, Ness, and Abi, and the northern region of the Great Wasteland, the current Aki Province.
