Chapter 88: Kingdom History and the Storm Greatsword
More than 300 years ago, the then Demacia Federal Region was still a period of ecclesiastical kingdom headed by the Holy See, at that time, in this land of Demacia, there were more than a dozen kingdoms composed of nobles and churches, including the country where the Light Shield family was located, the Kingdom of Arthur, but the Light Shield family at that time was only a small nobleman at that time.
Suddenly, one day, in the center of the largest church where Arthur's kingdom was located, a sword appeared inexplicably on a boulder in all directions. Written around the boulder is gold: "Whoever can pull this sword out of the stone platform, and is born in the kingdom of Arthur, he is the king of all the realms of the Church." In the future, those who hold this sword will dominate the continent. ”
When people tried one after another, but no one could pull it out. The archbishop, who heard this, ordered ten respected knights to be chosen to guard the sword.
One day, the patriarch of the Shield family, Ektor, took his son Kai and adopted son Jiawen to participate in the knightly competition held by the local Holy See in the Arthurian Kingdom, Jiawen was too young to participate in the knight competition, and Kai forgot to bring his own sword because of carelessness, he asked Jiawen to rush back to the inn to get the sword, when Jiawen arrived at the inn where they stayed, he found that the innkeeper had closed the door and went to watch the competition. In desperation, Jiawen came to the largest church in the Arthurian kingdom by mistake, at this time, the ten big knights in the church also went to see the competition, and Jiawen held the hilt of the sword without supervision, and pulled out the sword in the stone.
When he handed the sword to Kai, Kai recognized it as a sword in the stone at a glance and passed it on to his father, Ektor. Ector couldn't believe his eyes, he never thought that Gavin would be able to pull out this sword. He then plunged his sword back into the stone, but neither he nor Kai could pull it out, and Gavin drew the sword with ease once more. Due to Gavin's young age, not only did the great nobles of Arthur's kingdom not want to bow down, but many papal states also refused to recognize him and the Shield family as legitimate.
Because of the fear that Gawen's growth threatens his position, the king of Arthur's kingdom united the forces of the rest of the kingdom and killed the light shield family where Gavin was located, in the long-term pursuit, Gawen's adoptive father Actor and brother were killed in battle, and because Gavin pulled out the name of the sword in the stone, he has become stronger and stronger in many years of fighting, gathered many helpers around him, and formed the Knights of the Round Table, the twelve Knights of the Round Table led by the Knights of the Knights of the Knights, which are the twelve noble groups after the founding of the Commonwealth of Demacia, At the top of the list is Galen's crown guard family, whose ancestors are also the first of the twelve knights of the Round Table.
Eventually, under the leadership of Gwangdun Jiawen I, they not only defeated the army of the Kingdom of Arthur, but also officially changed the name of the Kingdom of Arthur to the Kingdom of Demacia, and refused the canonization of the Church, becoming the first constitutional state to live. This act infuriated the Holy See, who sent their own mage troops and the Order of the Holy See to unite the remaining dozen church states and launch a siege on the kingdom of Demacia.
After many years of war, under the leadership of the light shield Jiawen, they not only defeated and annexed these dozen countries, but also attacked the headquarters of the Holy See at that time - Van Tigan, in a desperate situation, the ultimate killer weapon of the Holy See was released, they opened the spatial passage, and summoned the hidden power from another plane, the Judgment Legion, these people are winged on their backs, wearing golden armor, with terrifying magic and immortality, they call themselves angels, led by two seraphims, They carried out a merciless slaughter in Demacia.
The appearance of the Judgment Legion put Gavin and his kingdom in jeopardy, the twelve Knights of the Round Table were completely damaged, and most of the people of the kingdom were killed and wounded, at this critical moment, there was a change within the Judgment Legion, the two Seraphim commanders had a dispute over ideas, and fought fiercely, in the battle, one of the angel's wings was cut off by the divine punishment that fell from the sky, and the other four wings also turned black, she escaped to Gavin's camp, and told Gavin that she and another Seraphim were sisters. With the Papal War already won, she was unwilling to add more slaughter to the continent of the Alien Plane, so she clashed with her sister Idea and fought, telling Gavin that in order to solve the danger of the Kingdom of Demacia, she must find the most powerful force in this plane in order to close the spatial passage and stop the continuous flow of reinforcements from the Legion of Judgment.
At this time, a very mysterious person appeared in front of Jiawen, he called himself the dean, an academy from the central region of the Valoran continent, he said that he had a way to solve the method of immortality of the angel legion and the way to close the spatial channel, but the premise of his action was that after Jiawen unified the entire territory of Demacia, he must let the descendants follow a rule, "Guard the peace of Valoran, guard the stability of the Rune Continent, and resist foreign invaders from all planes, even if the country of Demacia is destroyed." ”
The self-proclaimed dean taught Gavin how to extract a special stone from some special stones in the Grand Barrier Mountains, which was called the "Forbidden Magic Stone", which was incorporated into bows and arrows and weapons, and could inflict damage on the undead angel legions.
Following the advice of this mentor, Gavin led the collection of the remnants of the army, mobilized all the people in the kingdom to collect and refine the forbidden magic stone, with the help of the forbidden magic stone, Gavin's Knights of the Round Table finally launched a major counterattack, defeated the angel legion one after another, and besieged Van Digang again, the commander of the angel legion, Seraphim Kyle showed his god-like strength, ordinary forbidden magic stone weapons could not cause damage to her at all, and even Jiawen's stone sword was broken in the battle with her, Morgana, the winged angel who took refuge on Gavin's side, was also badly wounded, and was unable to stop Kyle's formidable power. Just as Gavin's life was hanging by a thread, the mysterious dean reappeared, first ripping off Kyle's four wings and knocking her out of the mortal world, and then imprisoning Kyle's four of them with the shackles and leg cuffs made of the Forbidden Stone, and imprisoning her under the Vatican Cathedral. Subsequently, the mysterious dean rushed into the spatial passage, and it didn't take long for the spatial rift to completely close, but the mysterious person never appeared again.
After the establishment of the Commonwealth of Demacia, Jiawen proclaimed himself emperor and was given the title of Lightsshield Jiawen, also known as Jiawen I.
Van Tigaan, the former headquarters of the Holy See, became the current capital of Demacia and the imperial city of Van Tegaan. On the easternmost side of the Imperial City, a huge arched gate was built, known as the "Triumphal Gate", to commemorate the many warriors who died in the war of unification of Demacia. In the center of the imperial city, there is a giant sword statue made entirely of forbidden magic stones, surrounded by a ring around the giant sword statue, is a statue of twelve tall and mighty armored warriors, to commemorate Jiawen and the twelve knights of the round table who founded the country together. In a place that ordinary people don't know, the location of the closed space passage of the original Holy See has been built into an underground city, and there is also a humanoid statue, which is a mysterious person wearing a robe but unable to see the blurred face, it is speculated that this person is likely to be the mysterious dean of the War Academy in the early days of the founding of Demacia.
In honor of the role of the Forbidden Magic Stone and the mysterious Abbot, the Federation of Demacia issued a "Forbidden Magic" during the reign of Gavin II, which strictly controlled the contact of the people within the realm of magic, but this was limited to the common people, and in the aristocracy, this decree was useless.
By the time of Gavin III, among the ten legions of Demacia, the "mage legion" composed of the aristocratic class finally appeared. Because of the polar injustice of the "ban on magic", it finally triggered a huge wave of civil resistance.
In the year 283 of Demacia and July 2809 in the Valoran calendar, a civil war began in Demacia under the leadership of the leader of the rebels, Silas.
In this war to suppress the rebels, Oron, who was the general of Demacia at the time, could not bear to slaughter the common people, and retreated step by step, which made the rebels feel imposing and attacked, and the enraged Gavin III removed Oron from his position as general, after which the aged Oron was at ease and traveled around the world, and died of illness ten years later. Florin, who succeeded Oren, and Zhao Xin, the governor of Debang, who was in the prime of life, led a large army to suppress the domestic resistance and captured the rebel commander Silas.
It was also during that period that one of Oren's apprentices, Galen, who had just turned twenty, formed a deep friendship with Gavin IV, who participated in the war anonymously, and Galen also stood out in the battle and quickly received the attention and strong support of the military.
In the post-war awarding process, Galen finally learned the identity of Gavin IV, and in order to commemorate his friendship with Galen, Galen IV recast the sword in the stone that was damaged during the founding of the country, renamed it "Storm Greatsword", and transferred it to Galen, the first heir in line to the crown guard family. The two also made a pact with each other to jointly guard the future of the Federation of Demacia, just like the founding ancestor, Aegis Garvin I, and the first Knights of the Round Table of the Crownguard.
After the death of the former Demacian general Florin in the War College, Galen officially took over the position of the general of the Demacian army, and his side gathered the support of the royal family of Gavin IV, the crown guard family of the Knights of the Twelve Round Table family, the Gawain family, the Wible family, the Grahid family, the Gareth family, the Bedwell family, the Bose family and other more than half of the big families, and each family has sent the elite children of the clan to join Galen's side.
Such as Wayne of the Gawain family, Quinn of the Wibble family, Brand of the Gareth family, Alves of the Grahid family, Aniasai of the Bowes family, Max of Bedwell, and the two major escort forces around Galen, Bobbi the Yodeler who also studied under Oren, and the mysterious general Galio and others that Galen himself subdued. If nothing else, Galen will become one of the most successful generals in Demacia's recent history.
Excerpt from "The Secret Record of the Plane History of the Kingdom of Demacia" and "The Secret Record of the Modern History of the Demacian Army"
"Whew~~"
"Such a complicated history of Demacia can even involve the mysterious dean of our academy?"
After taking a long breath, Chen Yin put the secret record in his hand into the Ring of Time and Space. This was the third day since he reached an agreement with Caitlin, and Caitlin not only sent back the good news that the Biddles family had unanimously approved the cooperation agreement, but also brought back some of the federal secret books that Chen Yin needed.
In the past two days, Chen Yin has rushed to the super fortress of the original Demacia front many times, before the huge statue of Galio's transformation, the Galen's exclusive weapon, formerly known as the Sword in the Stone, and now called the Storm Giant Sword, was inserted into the base of the statue by Bobby, and the hilt sank straight down.
Poppy, on the other hand, sat cross-legged in front of the statue from beginning to end, staring at the big sword and the statue, no matter how hard Chen Yin and Shadow tried to speak, she didn't say a word.
