Chapter 1: (Fall of the Empire)

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the east of the world, to the south of the 'Wakahai' and to the east of the 'West Sea', there is a vast land, and I don't know what year and month, God named that continent "Calradia".

The northern part of the continent of Calradia is dominated by marshy forests near the sea, the central and western regions are vast large plains, the eastern part is rich grasslands, the northeast is a cold snowy area, and the southwestern region is mostly hilly and mountainous.

Further south from the grassland, there is a vast desert, a dead sea of sand, known as the 'Salander Desert'. Crossing the dry river in the desert is already a 'nomadic desert' that even the devil does not want to stay in, but it is rumored that there is an ugly and strange lizardman inhabiting it.

Leaping over the southern frontier of the Salander Desert, the Najib River is the endless, mysterious and eerie Black Desert of Death, inhabited by the legend of ugly bloodthirsty orcs and unknown sand monsters, all of whom are servants of demons.

There are different legends about the origin of the continent of Calradia.

According to the Genesis of Calradia, the gods created the colorful world and assigned a magical couple to govern the continent of Calradia, who were the first gods of the continent and the ancestors of the ancient Karadian people.

They taught people to fish, cut wood, build houses and even use fire. In the course of thousands of years of merging and multiplying, the kind and brave ancient Kalads were formed, and they were the earliest masters of this continent.

The ancient Karad people were mainly located in the great plains of present-day Swadia, in the Selver estuary basin between the mountains north of Rhodok, in the Kugit steppe in the south, and in a few areas of the lower Polak River and the Kulau Forest.

·

It is impossible to find out where the Calradia continent originated, but the entire Calradia continent was ruled by the Karad dynasty a long time ago, and that era is called the "Karad Era".

A long time ago, on the distant continent of Calradia, a wise monarch ended centuries of war on the continent of Calradia with his extraordinary intellect and established a powerful empire that covered almost the entire continent of Calradia, and this empire was named Kalade.

The Kalad Empire united the continent's major tribes and peoples, and the empire occupied vast hilly grasslands and plains, abundant reserves of well salt, and excellent snowy hunting grounds. It has a long coastline and has built two important port cities, Tiha and Wocheze.

As well as the knightly city [Paraven], the crown of the forest [Uxhall], the imperial city [Sagoth], the steppe star [Halma], the heavenly city [Viruga], the city of frost [Zhivadine], the seaside giant city [Rivacheze] and so on are all very wealthy large towns.

The capital of the empire was the imperial city of Sagoth on the northern coast, a large and historic city that was later burned down by the Nords when it was captured by the Nords from the northern continent of ice and snow. (The current city of Sago was rebuilt by the Nords on the original foundation.) )

During the time of the ancient Carade Empire, the empire established a highly developed civilization and slave hierarchy, and the citizens of that time admired philosophy and astronomy, and their thoughts were very free.

Kallad's dynasty remained peaceful for nearly four centuries, without war, and the continent of Kallad, which had a rapidly developing agricultural economy, became an ideal town for bards at the time, and also attracted many foreign peoples. The first Virgians crossed the towering and precipitous 'Northern Mountains' from the "Charonay Continent" in the east to the 'Vigia Plateau' in the northeast of the continent. Then the Kugit people also migrated their cattle and sheep from the equally precipitous 'Eastern Mountains' to the 'Tulka Steppe' in the east.

After that, the Nords drove the strongest keel ship in the entire world, from the snow-covered northern continent of Yamuna to the surging 'North Sea' to the continent of Calradia, and lived in the long coastline in the north of the continent for a long time.

Even the Sultanate of Salander, a mysterious country in the southern desert of the Kalad Empire, an old neighbor of the Kalad Empire, began to increase trade with the Empire's cities. The most famous of the time was the slave trade, and the imperial aristocracy constantly sold their captured prisoners of war to this mysterious country.

During the reign of the Kallads, the Kujits, Virgias, and Rhodok were small tribes, and the Nords were merely labourers living at the lowest level and did not pose a threat to the Kalades. The Karad dynasty also adopted a policy of tenderness, allowing it to survive and develop.

In fact, the ethnic groups of these races are all located in extremely poor geographical conditions, Kugit is in the valley, Virgia is in the snowy mountains, and Rhodok is full of mountains, these ethnic groups are far from the political center of the Karad Kingdom, and no one cares about them except themselves.

At first, they were just a few people who came to the mainland in search of wealth, but the old emperor did not do anything, but allowed them to establish simple ethnic settlements in their respective landing areas.

For more than 100 years, the various peoples were at peace. The empire assigned the southern steppes to the nomadic Kugit people of the steppe, and at that time the Kugit were just a group of herders who migrated from the Kuka steppe in the east. But as time went on, the population grew, the contradictions proliferated, and the Kugit became more and more threatening to the empire.

The empire's unequal regional taxation policy laid a hidden danger for the empire's long-term stability, in order to weaken the power of other peripheral regions and consolidate the central monarchy. The empire adopted a one-sided policy of high taxes on the non-native Virgians, Kujits, Rhodoks, and Nords, which did not cause any major crises at first.

Due to the increasing taxation of later rulers of the Empire, the Vygians of the Snow Plains were the first to split away from the ruling center of the Empire. Since then, the Kingdom of Vegia has been formed, but at that time it was still a vassal state of the empire.

Perhaps the continent of Calradia had been quiet for too long, the people had long forgotten about the war, the lords had forgotten their duties, the soldiers had relaxed their discipline, and the Virgians soon occupied half of the empire.

Perhaps the battle line was stretched too long, or perhaps it was because of the constant attacks of the pirates and Kugits in the rear, which brought the war into a stalemate, and neither could completely defeat the other. Both countries were exhausted by the bitter war, and as a direct consequence of the proliferation of bandits and rebellions in the armies.

However, there is another place that claims to be neutral during the war - the free city of [Chanda], where the lords took advantage of the war and geography to make a lot of war profits and support the slave trader Ramon in the slave trade.

Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be divided for a long time. The protracted war strengthened the ambitious lords of both countries, deprived the king of absolute power over the territory, and deprived him of the ability to defend himself against foreign invasions.

In 1232, the lords of the Rhodok Mountains hatched a conspiracy in which they succeeded in separating Viruga and Djelkhara from the city and establishing the Duchy of Rhodok. A number of lords supported the rebellion and instituted a system for electing kings. But soon the old king died, and Graves seized the opportunity and succeeded in creating chaos at the election meeting and ascended to the throne.

Of course, the Empire was very resolute in its stance on the rebellion, and soon the Imperial cavalry swept away the Rhodok infantry until the Rhodoks formed a phalanx of spears and cooperated with crossbowmen to resist the Empire's cavalry.

The Bard Niza had infiltrated the vicinity of Fort Agorloon with a small group of Imperial troops, but was immediately spotted by the Rhodoks, who used the dense forest as cover and successfully eliminated the Viper Empire's infiltration with a night attack.

The territory of the Kingdom of Vegia was not peaceful, and the Kugit quickly migrated from the steppes and seized the steppe from Vigia, and the Kugit had fast cavalry, which made the war very smooth.

Soon after the death of the old Khan, Sega used his power to crowd out Dastam and became the new Khan. Due to the political turmoil, the state of Kugit temporarily stopped its external expansion, and many Kugit people began to own fixed assets in the city.

But neither the Kugit nor the Rhodok are a threat to the mainland, the real threat comes from the sea, a group of brave warriors, the Nords.

The Nords are brave and combative by nature, and when their large group of rowing ships sailed into the estuary, the Nords launched an attack on the Karad Empire, and the king, who was very troubled by the smoke and smoke, once again made a serious military mistake, and after losing the port of [Tiha], even the capital [Sagoth] was captured, and the capital had to be moved to [Suno], due to the prominent military position of the Dehrim region, the city of Dehrim was built to resist the attack of the Virgians and Nords.

However, the Nord attack did not stop, and they took aim at the Vigians, and soon captured the front fortress and prepared to advance into the heart of Vigia. But the Virgians, like the Nords, can summon their own people from outside Calradia.

The war finally came to an end when the Nords and the Virgians killed "Gonding Harebrix" in the Battle of Rivacheze, and the war finally came to an end. The battle lasted for a year, and eventually the Nords retreated, and Vegia succeeded in halting the Nord attack.

The Nords, who were defeated in the Battle of Riwacheze, suffered a lot of blows, and the war with the Empire also entered a stalemate stage.

After the death of Gunding Haribrex, the Nord were locked in a struggle for power until the respected Hackrem became the new king of the Nord, but the influence of the Nord Expeditionary Force in Yamuna on the northern continent had been weakened.

The number of Nord transports between the northern continent and the continent of Calradia was much lower than before, and the expansion was temporarily halted. The Vigians took advantage of the situation and took most of the former territory of the Nords.

After years of war, the territory of the ancient Karad Empire was encroached upon by strangers. The brutality of the war has devastated several countries. No country is capable of destroying their enemies in a short period of time.

The Nords halted their conquest and went on the defensive, trying to make a comeback.

Virgia received Zhivadine and officially entered the interior of the continent of Calradia.

The Rhodoks continued to fight the Swadian army in the mountains.

The Khan of Kugit was also anxious to quell the disputes between the tribes.

The Kingdom of Swadia, in order to be vigilant against the Vigian army, established the fortress city of Dehrium in the center of the continent. The move caused Virgian's displeasure, and some sporadic clashes broke out between the two sides.

Just when these countries are fighting to the death, in the desert at the southernmost tip of the Calradia continent. Allah's people live a relatively peaceful life. Salander Sultanate – the most mysterious country on the continent of Calradia. Even Drake the Great, the greatest conqueror in the history of the Kallad dynasty, failed to unravel its mysteries.

Historically, the Karad Empire has launched several expeditions against the Salander Sultanate. Trying to conquer the last part of the continent of Calradia, Salander had three magic weapons that left the Emperor and his proud Iron Rider in vain.

The first is the vast desert, the second is Allah's scimitar Mamluk cavalry, and the third is the iron-sharpened sword of Salander. During a confrontation between the two armies, the Sultan of Salander severed a tossed silk scarf with a saber. Since then, the continent of Calradia has had the legend of the sword of Salander.

Now, with years of war in the interior, this mysterious country is also eager to prepare for entering the continent of Calradia.

The Kalad dynasty once had a glorious history, but by this time it was already crumbling. Faced with this situation, the Swadias replaced the Kalad dynasty and established the "Swadia Kingdom", so a new pattern was formed in the entire Karadia continent......
