Turn back a thousand years, and that is the Bright Calendar...... Oh, a thousand years ago, the major kingdoms on the Qinglan Continent had not yet adopted the Bright Calendar as a unified calendar year.

A thousand years ago, there was not only one sect of the Bright Sect on the Qinglan Continent, the Fire God Sect, the Pure Water Sect, and the Thunder Sect...... The beliefs of various sects exist on the Qinglan Continent, and like the God of Light that the Illuminati believes in, these sects also have their own gods and goddesses.

Although there are many sects, two of them are the most conspicuous, these two sects are the Illuminati and the Shadow Cult, the Illuminati believe in the God of Light, and the high-ranking members of the Illuminati are all Light Magicians (Divine Teachers) or Light Warriors.

The Shadow Cult, on the other hand, believes in the Dark God, and the top members of the Shadow Cult are all dark mages who are proficient in dark magic.

(Note 1: The dark element is different from the other six-series elements, there are only dark magicians on the Qinglan Continent, and there are no dark warriors, but dark magicians can summon undead guards to fight, and undead guards can be regarded as dark warriors.) ）

(Note 2: Dark mages can manipulate corpses, these corpses manipulated by dark mages are called skeleton warriors, dark mages can manipulate hundreds or even thousands of skeleton warriors at the same time according to the strength of their strength, skeleton warriors have stiff limbs, slow movements, and low combat effectiveness, the only advantage is that they are durable, and they will get up again if they don't break up all the bones of the skeleton warriors.) ）

(Note 3: Undead Guard, unlike Skeleton Warrior, Dark Mage can only have one Undead Guard, the combat ability of the Undead Guard is determined according to the strength of the Dark Mage, the stronger the Dark Mage's strength, the stronger the summoned Undead Warrior, the more powerful the summoned Undead Warrior is, the summoning of the Skeleton Warrior requires a corpse, and the Undead Guard does not, the Dark Mage can summon the Undead Guard with his own blood sacrifice, and the Undead Guard can release the Dark Fighting Qi, which is equivalent to the Dark Warrior.) ）

A thousand years ago, there were more than 20 large and small kingdoms on the Qinglan Continent, and the Maude Kingdom and the Doria Kingdom in the middle of the continent belonged to the same powerhouses on the Qinglan Continent.

At that time, there were various sects on the Qinglan Continent, and each sect tried their best to win the trust of the king, so as to strengthen the strength of their own sect.

The most trusted by the kings in the Maud Kingdom was the Illuminati, which was designated as the state religion by the Maude Kingdom. The state religion in the kingdom of Doria is the Shadow Cult composed of dark mages.

Located in the middle of the Qinglan Continent, the kingdom of Maud and the kingdom of Doria have a balanced territory and population, and the rulers of both kingdoms want to defeat each other in order to gain more territory and wealth, for which the two kingdoms have been engaged in wars that have lasted for hundreds of years.

In the 47th year of King Asna, the Kingdom of Morder finally conquered its old rival, the Kingdom of Doria, and the army of the Kingdom of Mord conquered the capital of the Kingdom of Doria, Blazing Sky City, and slaughtered the royal family of Doria who rebelled against him.

The victorious Maude soldiers entered the royal capital of Xinghe City in a neat procession, and in the long triumphant procession, thousands of carriages were loaded with gold, jade, precious stones and other booty captured from the Kingdom of Doria.

"Long live the kingdom of Maude...... and "Long live His Royal Highness Ryan......" The people who gathered on both sides of the streets of the royal capital threw flowers to the troops marching in the streets, and the people cheered with admiration and enthusiasm.

At the front of the triumphant procession, a blue-haired man on a black steed waved his right arm to the welcoming crowd with a big smile, this blue-haired man in golden armor was the commander of the Maud army, the greatest hero of the conquest of the Kingdom of Doria, and the third son of Maud King Aisna Kaladin.

King Mader Asna Kaladin is 72 years old, and Asna has given birth to more than a dozen children, and among these royal descendants, the most shining is of course the third prince Lane.

At the age of less than thirty, he possessed the strength of a wind saint warrior, extraordinary martial arts talent, and extraordinary military talent, Prince Ryan was the most high-profile member of the royal family in the Maude Kingdom.

Following the advice of his ministers, King Asna appointed the third prince, Lane, as the commander of Maude's army and set out to conquer the kingdom of Doria. In his fifth year as commander of the Maude Army, Ryan defeated the Doria army on the battlefield and conquered the Doria Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Riding on a black horse, Levin waved to the people who crowded on both sides of the street to welcome him, this grand triumphal ceremony, twelve huge horns were blown on the walls of Star River City in the Maud Kingdom, the houses on both sides of the streets of Star River City, the stone pillars were hung everywhere with bright flags and flying ribbons, and the enthusiastic people kept throwing flowers to the heroes and soldiers who came victorious.

The conquest of the Kingdom of Doria is an important symbol for the Kingdom of Mord, and the inclusion of the Kingdom of Doria into its territory means that the territory of the Kingdom of Morde has nearly doubled, and the Kingdom of Morde has undoubtedly become the most powerful country on the Qinglan Continent, and the other kingdoms on the Qinglan Continent no longer dare to offend the Maude Kingdom.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince......" The young girls waved handkerchiefs to Prince Ryan on his horse, and the fiery eyes of these girls were full of love and adoration for Prince Ryan.

Lewin, who was on his horse, bent down and took the flowers from a young girl, put them in front of his nose and sniffed them, and then smiled so intoxicatingly that the lucky girl pressed her chest and almost fainted.

Two fingers pinched the red rose in his hand, staring at the delicate red flowers, the smile on the corner of Lane's mouth still did not fade. The victory in the war further strengthened his position in the kingdom, and his father had promised before leaving for the Kingdom of Doria that as long as he took Blazing Sky City, the name of Ryan Caladin would be engraved on the king's pillar in Star River City.

Located in the central square of Xinghe City, the royal capital of the Maude Kingdom, there is a white stone pillar as high as 20 meters, on which the names of the previous kings of the Maude Kingdom are engraved, and each Maude monarch will order someone to engrave their own name on the stone pillar before ascending the throne. Let the name of the third prince Ryan be engraved on the king's column, and King Asna of Maud promised to let Ryan inherit the throne.

Despite his success, Ryan is not yet the crown prince of Maude, Ryan is the third son of King Asna of Mord, and there are two brothers above Ryan, the eldest of whom is still the crown prince, but this situation will soon change.

Turning his head, Ryan looked at the group behind him, and among the troops marching behind him was a delicate carriage in which Maude's army had plundered the most precious loot from the kingdom of Doria lay in it.

There is a princess named Sivana in the royal family of Doria, Princess Sivana was born to the country and the city, even the kingdom of Bardan, which is far away in the southernmost part of the Qinglan continent, knows this beautiful woman in the royal family of Doria, and King Bardan is even willing to marry Princess Sivana with 100,000 cattle and sheep and 3,000 of the best war horses.

After conquering Blazing Sky City, the capital of King Doria, Maude's army slaughtered the members of the Dorian royal family and those Doria soldiers who resisted, but Princess Sivana was not killed, this is a matter of course, no one wants to let such a beautiful princess become a ghost under the sword, long before the attack on Blazing Sky City, the commander of the Maude army Ryan gave an order to find Princess Sivana and bring her alive to himself.

The triumphant procession came to the palace, jumped off the black warhorse, and Ryan walked into the palace with several generals of the army who had made great achievements, and entered the council hall, where the ministers and nobles of the Maude royal family were already waiting.

In the throne at the top of the council chamber sat an old man with gray hair, the old man with the crown on his head, who was King Mader Asna Caladin.

"Ryan, my child. Asna stood up from his throne and waved cordially to the third prince, Ryan, who had walked into the council hall.

Walking up the stairs above the council chamber, Ryan came to his father and knelt down on one knee to the old king in front of him, and Ryan took out from his bosom a golden crown encrusted with five different colored gemstones, which once belonged to the monarch of the Kingdom of Doria.

Reaching out to take the crown handed by his son, Asna's lips trembled slightly with excitement, and he raised the crown in his hand high, and Asna showed the crown that the deceased monarch had once worn to the people in the council hall to watch.

"Long live the kingdom of Maude, long live His Majesty Asna......" There was a burst of passionate cheers and applause in the council room, and he stood up, and Ryan stood beside his father, feeling the respectful gazes cast at him by the ministers and nobles.

"I made a promise that once I took Blazing Sky, then Ryan would be the next king of Maude's kingdom, and now is the time to make good on that promise......" Asna said loudly as he placed the crown in his hand on the plate brought by the attendant.

"From today onwards, Ryan is the crown prince of the Maude Kingdom, the next ruler of the Maude Kingdom. Asna put his arms around the shoulders of his son, who was a head taller than himself, and happily announced his will.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Lane......" The ministers and nobles in the council hall waved their arms and expressed their respect for the new Crown Prince of the Maud Kingdom, Ryan Caladin, with enthusiastic cheers.

In these passionate crowds, there was a man in a purple robe, this man had the same blue hair as Ryan, and like the ministers and nobles in the council hall, the man in the purple robe was also applauding and congratulating Ryan, but the smile on the face of the man in the purple robe was a little far-fetched.

It is not surprising that the purple-robed man standing in the crowd is the eldest son of the current King of Mord, Asna Kaladin, Soros, who was the first heir to the throne until the old king did not declare Ryan as the crown prince.

However, now it is different, Ryan has been declared the crown prince by the old king, and even if Soros is the eldest son, he is no longer eligible to inherit the throne. Soros knows that he has lost his status as the crown prince, but Soros is helpless, the third prince Ryan is much stronger than himself, and with Soros's ability, he has no chance to compete with the hero who conquered the Kingdom of Doria for the succession to the throne.
