In the 7th year of the Guiding Era, the Supreme Consul of the Federation, Lucy Berencaster, was about to step down. Although all walks of life in the federation are trying to keep it, the patriarch Soldino even took out allusions from the age of mythology from the pile of old papers, showing that the so-called "dictator for life" is the glorious tradition of republican democracies.

The power of tradition was so great that even in the Commonwealth at that time, even the saying that "all the powerful nations in history are empires ruled by great kings, why not be called emperor by His Excellency the Consul."

Lucy Berencaster was very impressed, and then rejected them very indifferently. However, before officially leaving office, he appointed Vice Admiral Leonhardt Astreme, then chief of staff of the Central Fleet, commander-in-chief of the "New World Front".

The remnants of the Gatelord faction in the late Radiant Homeland eventually fled to the New World, which was not news at the time. In fact, as early as seven years ago, this group of wandering rogues in the Seven Seas had a battle with the Brayden Navy in the Falling Star Sea, and the Brayden Navy, which wanted to take advantage of the Spiral Fortress, was severely damaged. No one could have imagined that in the days that followed, this naval battle would trigger a chain reaction.

First of all, Brayden's navy suffered heavy losses, and in order to collect sufficient supplies and wealth, the gate lords sent troops, led by Rudolf Geiser, sacked the important port cities along the coast of Brayden, including the capital Attenburg. This strong and rich archipelago nation has been hit hard. And the sworn enemy of the Braden Kingdom, the Midsax Kingdom, which thought it was qualified to compete for the overlord of the Falling Star Sea, also swelled because of this.

After the Dragon Knights finally mastered the control of the Spiral Fortress and began their journey around the world with their new station, the Kingdom of Midsax launched a war against the Kingdom of Brayden in order to gain the westernmost territory of the other side, Banner Island. Once successful, it was possible for Meadesachs to master all the New World routes known at the time.

The Mead Sachs made a stupid, but understandable judgment at the time. The Empress of Auckland at the time, Catalina the Great, the "Renovator King", was facing two wars – the rebellion of the Stormy Cape led by the Kingdom of Tuleus, and the secession movement of the twelve city-states of Sosnes in the southern continent. In addition to the war, the construction of the city of Erijelis, the industrial center of the later empire, the establishment of the Calgary University of Technology, and the railway project from the imperial capital of Séloxia to the city of Blackman, all of the above projects greatly affected Auckland's national strength.

No one felt that the Empire was still capable of waging a third war.

No one thought that the Virginia Empire, the only one that could compete with the Auckland Empire for supremacy, and the Sky Federation, would stand on the side of Catalina the Great without hesitation.

A coalition composed of a part of the Oakland Empire's Fallen Star Sea Fleet, Virginia's newly formed Praetorian Navy, and the Federation Floating Fleet sailed into the Falling Star Sea Islands.

During the five-year War of the Fallen Star Sea, the kingdom of Midsax was almost on the verge of extinction. King Robert III, who later became known as the "Manic", eventually died from a long-range guided gun sniper in a naval battle. His successor, Mirhar II, announced his surrender to the coalition forces.

The final result was that almost all the important ports of the Four Kingdoms of the Falling Star Sea were demarcated by the three kingdoms and garrisons and supply points were set up. This even includes the kingdoms of Norda and Wood, who were completely forced to get involved.

We even have reason to believe that all this is actually a conspiracy of the three major human hegemons of the Old World to carve up the world. (This sentence was removed in a later official publication)

Of course, later historical data can prove that the Three Kingdoms actually just followed the trend. What really provoked this battle in the Falling Star Sea was the secret society known as the "Serpent of the World". Its core leadership, the legendary Red Dragon Elias, known as one of the Thirteen Pillars, was captured by the Dragon Knights and is still imprisoned in the Spiral Fortress, where he will face 5,000 years of hard labor. Seven of the most powerful members of the Order's elite, later known as the "Star Executors", were killed and three captured. (This paragraph frightened the editor, and the author was invited to tea for three days by the Great Church.) Mr. Author was finally persuaded to delete this paragraph in the official publication)

The perennial war has caused the people of the Fallen Star Sea to endure great suffering and suffering. A large number of citizens chose to leave their homes and rushed to the New World.

Most of the people, of course, chose the Platinum Bay area, which was being reclaimed, where the Auckland Empire issued quite pragmatic decrees such as the "Ten Year Tax Exemption" and the "Thirty Year Reclamation Order", which were even regarded as a matter of virtue at the time. Some of the seafarers went north and found a home in the north of the New World, where they were later absorbed by the expeditions of the Virginian Empire, which became the origin of the five colonies of Virginia.

However, the people of the Fallen Star Sea were originally unruly sea people (the original text here is a pirate people, later revised by the editorial department), and a considerable number of them went directly through thunderstorms and sea monster bays to the Karimdor Isthmus, which was later known as the Ridge of the New World.

But before they did, someone had already arrived there before them. They were the frustrated ones who were defeated in the Confederation Civil War in 1228 A.D., and they were the ones who started everything.

After a period of struggle and compromise, the proud sea people (originally pirates) and the frustrated people of the War of Power finally merged to form a quasi-national military group, which became the Nine Snake Brothers. Its leader is the famous "Black Snake", the New World Pirate King Sans Planck. (For specific deeds, please refer to the third chapter of the historical work "The "Rebels" in the New World" published by Ocean University Press, "Nine Snake Heads")

The group continued to advance inland to the west, and the local indigenous tribes they encountered were burning, killing and looting. To the south, the Platinum Bay Colony of Oakland was harassed to the north, and to the east, it became the largest pirate gang in the Sea of Fallen Stars and even the entire Sunset Ocean, directly threatening the safety of shipping in the entire New World. In the first year of the Nine Snakes' existence, the volume of trade to the New World dropped by fifty percent compared to previous years.

Under these circumstances, Lieutenant General Leonhardt Astre was appointed by the federal government to form the so-called New World Legion, demanding the complete annihilation of the so-called Nine Snake Brothers.

At that time, there were only more than 3,000 members of the New World Army, most of whom were new recruits, and they were divided into 12 new guide warships to go to the New World to quell the rebellion. Except for the Federal Head of State who is about to leave the Blue House, probably even Lieutenant General Asterre is not optimistic about this operation.

But the facts have once again proved how fragile the traditional old magic core warships are in the face of the new type of guided warships. In the ensuing battle of the Illan airspace, the Nine Snake Brothers, which had three times the strength of the force, were defeated, and all their floating warships were destroyed.

After clearing all the smugglers who were unwilling to surrender, Sans Planck surrendered to Lieutenant General Asterre. He was not punished too much, and later spent the last and most peaceful and comfortable years of his magnificent life in the New World Overseer of the Federation, as the director of the Maritime Administration. (For the story of Sans Planck, see the author's other historical masterpiece "The Pirate King's Family")

Then, the colonial strongholds of the Camlido Isthmus were officially incorporated into the territory of the Sky Federation. However, with the turbulent conditions of the Sea of Falling Stars and the Ocean of the Sunset, Elichar had no way of establishing a stable central administration in the New World. On the other hand, due to the power vacuum left by Belencaster after leaving office, the Sky Federation has no time to take care of it for the time being.

The supreme consul who was then appointed was Anroes, who served as the interior minister for five years, and was a steady and steady ruler who did not have much interest in expansion, but focused all his energy on improving the national economy and people's livelihood. He and his successor, Agrol, ruled for a total of 20 years, and it was also the period when the people of the Sky Federation made the greatest progress. At the time of Agroor's death, Elichar's income surpassed that of Neosfia for the first time, becoming the world's largest citizen.

However, 20 years is enough time for a generation to grow up.

A large number of old nobles who had lost their rights in the Confederation themselves went into hiding in the New World. In that region, where there was no perfect system of governance and strict laws, they revived and grew savagely. They were ready to rebel from the colonies and restore their old ruling order. Moreover, as taxes on the New World colonies in the Union increased year by year, even ordinary immigrants were dissatisfied with the rule of the central government. In this situation, the old Arcane nobles felt that the time had come.

On July 9, 28 A.D., Major General Louis Keringles, commander of the New World Reclamation Corps, began his operation, receiving large sums of money from Sosnes and Neosfia, who bribed a large number of military and political dignitaries.

He sent troops to take control of the Overseer's Palace, placed the Overseer under house arrest Quake Pasch, took over all affairs of the New World colonies, and proclaimed the First Republic of the New World, which we later came to know.

Louis Kringles assumed the post of First Consul and established his own powers: to promulgate laws and to appoint and dismiss members of the Senate, ministers, ambassadors and other senior diplomats, and officers of the army and navy at will.

This incident, which occurred in July, is known as the "July Coup".

It turns out that the so-called "First Republic" later became a famous political joke, which is also understandable. Louis Kringles' founding independence was a farce. Only a month later, the Janissary Fleet, which had been preparing for battle, suddenly descended on the Isthmus of Karimdor under the leadership of Admiral Elliot Grenzo and Admiral Liszt Danmas.

A guided artillery strike from the sky reduced the Overseer's Palace, located in the middle of the colonial capital, New Octalia, and the First Consul within the Overseer's Mansion to ashes at the same time. The rebellion was thus put down. Later, the "First Republic of the New World" had the "reputation" of "the land of January".

However, this is not the end of everything.

Later, Arantis Narciss, who ascended to the throne of supreme consul, purged the fleeing old aristocracy with more determination and ruthlessness, and adopted a more repressive policy of rule over the colonies of the New World. The tension between the New World and the Union itself became increasingly tense.

Sehileus Moore Berencaster, who later served as supreme consuls, and her son, Cornwallis Berencaster, were unable to win back the hearts and minds of the New World, although they made some remedies.

The dynamism of the Old World turned into a trend of thought, and even the Platinum Bay and New Ariel, which ran north and south from the Karimdor Isthmus, eventually gave rise to the origin of the current New World independence movement.

We all know the results. That was the First New World War of Independence, which took place in 187 A.D.
