The human empire, in the final analysis, was only established after overthrowing the rule of the elven empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 While the Elven Empire still dominates the entire continent, humans are just a slave race under the control of the Elves.

They were enslaved for thousands of years, until the Elven Empire entered a period of decline due to internal turmoil, and they were unwilling to continue to be oppressed and exploited by the Elves before they began to rebel. At that time, the first emperor of the empire was definitely not the only human leader who rebelled against the rule of the elves.

He was just one of several rebel armies. At that time, the armies that dared to rise up and oppose the rule of the elves by force were definitely not a minority. In addition to the dozen or so armies of the human race, there are also coalition armies organized by subhuman races and dwarves, and even within the elven race, there are rebels under the banner of independence. Among them, the ash elves who caused turmoil in the empire are naturally one, and the other is a half-elf race that is very unpopular within the elven empire.

Elves are the first creatures created by the mother of life when she creates mundane life. And of these first creations, they were the most refined, longest-lived, and most intelligent species. Compared to the sub-human race of the same era, as well as the trolls and barbarians who were completely reduced to chaotic creatures, they really had a huge advantage. And slowly, the elves' hearts began to swell.

They began to call themselves the eldest sons of the Mother of Life, the elder brothers of all mortal races. And based on this, they began to build a group and tribe with themselves as the core.

This was the predecessor of the Elven Empire. It can be said that it is this boring arrogance that drives the progress of world civilization itself. Because of arrogance, they built an empire. Because they considered themselves noble, they established classes and institutions. And in order to ensure the interests of everything they had established, they proclaimed the world's first law.

Everything that could build an empire's civilization was born from the hands of elves. This credit has greatly deepened their arrogance, and for thousands of years, they have deeply imprinted this arrogance in their bones.

It can be said that the elves at this time are already arrogant and almost without edges. They are no longer merely the elder brothers of the mortal race. Rather, he sees himself as a transcendent race like the Titans, beloved by the Mother of Life, who is born to stand above all other races and rule over all.

Under this premise, the elves reject all races that are not their own. Even legendary creatures like dragons are still not recognized by the elves. It can be said that the elves have developed their concept of bloodline to the point of paranoia. Not only for other races, but also within one's own race.

They divided themselves into High Elves and Lower Elves. An elf with a hair color as bright as the morning sun, eyes as crystal as jewels, and a natural blessing from nature can be regarded as a high elf. They were nobles among the elves, engaged in noble professions such as lords, military officers, scholars, and even royal court guards.

Elves with messy hair and pupil color, and poor natural abilities, can only be counted as inferior elves, and they can only work in lowly occupations such as craftsmen, farmers, cooks, and soldiers. Inferior elves make up ninety percent of the total elven species, and only less than ten percent of elves can be considered high elves. It can be said that the empire of the elves is the most typical pyramidal structure. A small group of people occupies the vast majority of the interests of the empire, ruling over a hundred times the lower classes of their own people.

The royal family, the high elves, and the lower elves are the three most typical steps. And under this ladder there is a fourth level - the slave class.

Humanity used to be the existence of this fourth ladder. And on the same level as humans, there is also a special race of half-elves.

The arrogance of the elves makes them despise any blood that is not of their own race, but this disdain does not change the consequences of impulsive love. There will always be elves who are willing to fall in love with people outside of their own race, and crystals will be born. And this special crystallization of love is the most unpopular half-elf family among the elves.

Half of the elven blood, and the other half, whatever it is, will not be accepted by the orthodox elves. And it is precisely because of this that the half-elves, who have always been oppressed, will brazenly launch a revolution against the empire at a time of turmoil caused by the birth of the ash elves in the elven empire.

The power of the half-elves is exceptionally strong, because there is no shortage of strong people among the half-elves who are otherworldly because of their bloodline. For example, the dragon elve, which is rare among the elves. Half elven blood, half dragon blood, they only need enough time to grow, and the slightest opportunity to grow into a transcendental-level existence. And the Grand Duke of Dragon Castle is the best of them, and even said, he is not weaker than the dragon slayer Thoros Blood Vendetta in the legend of the elves, legend, this is the strength of the original Grand Duke of Dragon Castle. And such a strength, even the emperor of the empire who has developed his power to the peak must pay attention to it.

The Grand Duke of Dragoncastle was created to appease these half-elf rebels and make them part of the Empire. Not only the Grand Duke of Dragon Castle, but most of the eight Grand Dukes of the Empire were all strong men who competed for the world with the first emperor of the empire in the past.

They were intimidated by the Emperor's power, but that didn't mean they were willing to submit to him. It's just forced by current events. And when the first emperor of the empire brazenly chopped off the head of the Grand Duke of Trident, leaving one of the leaders of the former human alliance into a pile of bones. These archdukes, who were intimidated by his strength, immediately sounded the horn of rebellion.

Duke Tulip directly closed the pass into the southeast highlands, unified his internal differences, signed a non-aggression pact with the dragons, and then established the kingdom of Viren. The Duke of Lion in the northeast abandoned most of the river valley and united with the Grand Duke of Baishi in the east in the name of marriage to establish the Kingdom of Faerun.

The two newly established kingdoms have plenty of troops and strong checkpoints to stop the Imperial army that has been devastated by the northern expedition to Arest. And throughout his life, the first emperor of the empire could not help but get these two emerging kingdoms that rose because of their own fatigue.

As soon as the first emperor of the empire died, the rest of the eight dukes were even more difficult to restrain themselves. The Grand Duke of Dragoncastle directly declared that he would not participate in the internal affairs of the empire and would be independent of the empire in the name of defending the western wilderness. And the Grand Duke of Huangsha directly declared his independence and no longer had dealings with the empire.

However, although the Grand Duke of Huangsha has this courage, he does not have the corresponding ability. He had wanted to form a kingdom of his own, as the other two dukes did. But before he could fulfill his ambition, he lost his life in a rebellion.

Although the empire wanted to take the opportunity to recover the territory of the Grand Duke of Huangsha, due to the clamping of the kingdom and other dukes, its plan could not be realized at all. And because of internal differences and external pressures, the territory of the Grand Duke of Huangsha gave birth to an extremely unique desert city-state regime.

It can be said that since the second emperor of the empire, the only people in the entire empire who can really be regarded as dukes are the Duke of Black Thorns and the Grand Duke of Running Wolf. They are known as the Twin Blades of the Empire, also known as the Twin Blades Grand Dukes. And it is precisely because of this special political environment that in the development of nearly a thousand years, the family of Duke Blackthorn has become a decisive force in the entire empire.

There is even a proverb within the empire, "The mighty griffin cannot occupy the sky forever, but the viper entrenched on the thorns can hold on to its land forever." ”

Even the royal power can be sidelined, but the power of the Black Thorn family has developed and become deeply rooted in this empire and cannot be shaken.

Especially in the era of the reign of the modern Emperor Reinhardt, the Emperor's orders were sometimes even less authoritative than a handwritten letter from the Archduke of the Black Thorns.

As a member of the royal family, even Billy doesn't want to see him in this way. He also instinctively loathed the existence of the Grand Duke of the Two Blades. Among them, the Black Thorn Grand Duke is the most. He'd seen the modern-day Grand Duke of Black Thorn, a cunning serpent-like fellow. Standing in front of the old man with gloomy eyes, he would even involuntarily get goosebumps. The rest of the Black Thorn Family was similar, and they were all as disgusting as poisonous snakes. Let Billy, who is not willing to deal with such people at all, almost instinctively reject them.

Looking at the carriage branded with the Black Thorn insignia in front of him, Billy almost subconsciously wanted to turn away. But immediately, he stopped his tracks.

It suddenly occurred to him that this was the northwest of the Empire, not the territory of the Black Thorn Family. The appearance of the people of the Black Thorn family here is a bizarre thing in itself. And is there anything in such a remote city that is worthy of the Black Thorn Family's presence here? Thinking of this, Billy's face changed instantly.

He thought of himself and his mother, and only the identities of the two of them were worthy of the Black Thorn Family's presence in this Riverrun. And now that he is here, then in other words, that guy is going for his mother!

Thinking of this, Billy immediately clenched the sharp blade at his waist as if he had blown up. It was a magical weapon given to him by the Crown Prince. By the time his mood began to fluctuate violently, the weapon was already gradually sparkling from its scabbard.

He was scared, and the mixture of worry and fear made him almost run towards his mother's room. And when he ran to his mother's room, he didn't wait for him to break down the door. A gray-haired man with a gloomy face had already slammed open the door and strode out of it.

Naturally, he saw Billy outside the door, and for this special royal member, he just snorted coldly and walked past him with an almost indifferent attitude. It wasn't until he disappeared from sight that Billy suddenly regained his senses and rushed into the room.

Then he saw his mother, a mother with an angry face.
