The succession and legitimacy of the throne threatened by a dignified emperor simply because he was dissatisfied with and challenged the power of the temple, and such an outcome was unbearable for Sean II. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The emperor of the empire was not a bad breed, and immediately tit-for-tat, directly declaring that the temple did not represent the power of the goddess to grant the throne on earth, and that the power of the monarch was granted by the goddess of light, and did not need the approval of the pope to flaunt the legitimacy of the throne. Such a move undoubtedly broke the legitimacy of the Temple of Light for thousands of years, so the temple naturally would not agree to such terrible remarks.

And so the most absurd scene in the history of the Empire of Light appeared: at the instigation and support of the Temple, other ill-intentioned members of the royal family clashed and attempted to challenge the rule of Sean II in the name of the Temple. These anti-imperial rebels rebelled in several southern provinces, and then declared themselves the "Holy Legion" and openly threatened His Majesty the Emperor himself.

At this time, in the Bright Empire, the power of the temple is still very large, especially in the large provinces in the south and north, the religious power is extremely strong, and many people in the holy province regard the temple as orthodox, and they have responded to the bewitchment of the temple and joined the war of the holy legion.

In less than half a year, the entire north and south of the Bright Empire were basically controlled by the Temple of Light, only parts of the northwest and central regions were still in the hands of the emperor himself, and the number of the "Holy Legion" had expanded sharply to more than 500,000 people. Although many of them are not soldiers of the Empire, but some rebels who are convinced to organize voluntarily, after all, the army of more than 500,000 people is not unstrong. In addition, those noble armed forces that have been instigated by the temple and incorporated into a large number of family elites, such as the knights of some families, escorts and other duty soldiers, also have a lot of combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, His Majesty Sean II has almost become a bare-bones commander, except for the tens of thousands of garrisons in the central provinces and the tens of thousands of central troops in the imperial capital, in the case of rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor is almost in a desperate situation. However, instead of compromising with the Temple, he continued to resist the Temple with a resolute attitude, but soon this huge ragtag army was directly under the city of Gilliat.

His Majesty the Emperor was taken by surprise, and he roared angrily through the city, declaring them unscrupulous thieves and despicable conspirators, but it was of no avail. The Pope didn't even intervene, but sent a cardinal archbishop to oversee the war, and then issued a so-called "oracle" in a bummer, declaring that Sean II's throne was extraordinarily illegitimate, and that it was not blessed by the gods.

Sean II scoffed, and although he was at a disadvantage now, he didn't care, because this seemingly large motley army, although clamoring to remove him from the throne, had no real means. Although there are more than 500,000 people in the Holy Legion, and there are only more than 100,000 troops in the entire Gilliat City, as long as they close the city defenses, unless these gods can really fly into the city, the imperial capital will definitely not be breached, as long as the Gilliat City is not broken, then the temple has absolutely no way, as long as it drags on for a few months, it will naturally be able to drag down this ragtag army!

But Sean II ignored one point, although he didn't care about the temple's words, but he was not the only one in the city of Gilliat, in addition to more than 100,000 soldiers, there were also hundreds of thousands of imperial subjects and thousands of nobles, large and small. The temple was very popular, and after the siege of the city made no progress, they naturally started what they were best at. The clergy, large and small, began to lobby the defenders and people outside the city every day, which was nothing more than some slanderous remarks against Sean II, but such an oathing and quite serious words came out of the mouth of the temple, and naturally there was some irresistible persuasiveness.

Over time, the hearts of many civilians and soldiers began to waver, after all, most of them had been influenced by the temple since childhood, and at this moment, facing the persuasion of the priests of the temple, their hearts were naturally very shaken. But unfortunately, Shaun II did not know these things, rumors and the words of the temple were slowly crushing the defenders of the city of Gilliat, and at the end of the war, the arrival of one man completely ended everything, and he was the Pope of the Temple of Light himself at that time.

His Majesty the Pope openly presided over the temple ceremony outside the city of Gilliat, made an impassioned denunciation in front of hundreds of thousands of troops questioning the throne and beliefs of Sean II, and even publicly declared the excommunication of the emperor, and the inquisitor declared Sean II an evil and irascible "pagan monarch"!

As soon as such a denunciation was issued, it undoubtedly added the name of justice to the Holy Legion, and it also became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the hearts of the defenders and citizens of Gilliat were very broken. Because they had listened to the Pope's proclamation, they were unwilling to serve a cruel and evil pagan monarch, and a rebellion arose - the day after the Pope's proclamation, the imperial capital garrison mutinied, and several aristocratic generals with tens of thousands of garrisons opened the city gates, and the Holy Legion immediately led a large army into the city, while the remaining tens of thousands of central troops surrendered without a fight.

The city of Gilliat, a majestic royal city that claims to never fall, fell into the hands of the rebels. But these people soon discovered a problem, although the imperial capital fell, Sean II did not surrender, but used the last of his forces to defend the inner city and the palace. The Emperor's tough resistance provoked the anger of the rebels, and in their opinion, even the city of Gilliat had fallen, how could a small inner city and the imperial palace not be able to fight?!

Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed up in an attempt to smash the inner city directly, get the emperor out, and throw him on the judgment seat to face a righteous trial, and this decision cost them an extra 100,000 lives.

The rebels really underestimated Sean II, since he had the courage to defend the imperial capital, how could he easily admit defeat? When the rebels entered the city, although he was surprised and angry, he rationally chose to retreat to the inner city of the palace with the last remaining troops in his hands.

Although the number of rebels was large, the city of Gilliat obviously could not accommodate so many troops, and more than 500,000 troops were all invested in the inner city, so in fact, the number of soldiers leading the soldiers to break through the inner city was almost only about 100,000.

Most of these more than 100,000 soldiers are composed of family guards of rebel nobles, and they will be tasked with breaking through the inner city and capturing the emperor.
