Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Friends? above
As we all know, the Dragon Temple is the number one force in the empire, and this position has not been shaken to this day. The Battle of the Ancients a thousand years ago brought great prestige to the Dragon Temple. Even the Holy Dragon Empire was created by that Holy Emperor. It was only in the passage of time that the Dragon Temple was no longer responsible for managing the Holy Dragon Empire, but gradually transformed into an organization with a religious nature. However, there are still strong ties with the Holy Dragon Empire. Otherwise, how could there be a huge number of Dragon Temple professionals entering the army to serve as ordinary soldiers or even high-ranking officers? However, in recent years, the relationship between the imperial family and the Dragon Temple has gradually become delicate. As for the reason, we have to start from the beginning.
The composition of the Holy Dragon Empire is generally divided into two parts, one part is the normal military administrative structure, which is controlled by the imperial family. The entire country's armies, administrative centers, cities, were ruled by the emperor. As for the imperial family, their identities are not simple. You must know that when the Holy Emperor unified the Holy Dragon Empire and defeated the attacks of foreign races, his prestige was monstrous. At this time, the empire did not have a real master. If the Holy Emperor wants to be the emperor, he only needs to ascend to the top and shout, and naturally many people will recommend him to the throne. However, the Holy Emperor did not seem to care about power, so he overrode public opinion and put a family that had sworn to follow him to the throne of the Emperor. However, he returned to the Dragon Temple, retreated bravely, and the Dragon Temple quickly shook off all authority and became an organization similar to the guardian god of the empire. For thousands of years, the Imperial Family and the Dragon Temple have been at peace.
But twenty years ago, Gagarin-Alexander, a prince of the Alexander family, came to the throne in a coup d'état. After a purge of the Great Purge, he was in great power. But what's worse is that the Dragon Divine Temple was originally a strong supporter of the great prince who was supposed to be the emperor. On the day of the coup, however, the eldest prince was besieged and killed by several court masters with high martial skills in the chaotic army! At this moment, the relationship between the two sides instantly became tense. For Gagarin, although the Dragon Temple had no enmity with him, he killed the great prince who was originally supported by the Dragon Temple. Then the Dragon Temple is a huge threat to him, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible. And in turn, the Dragon Temple naturally wanted to slaughter Gagarin. But the royal family has been in charge of the empire for a thousand years, and if the Dragon Temple destroys them, it is impossible to bring out another family to manage the empire in a short period of time. But the Dragon Temple is even more powerful, and at the same time, its prestige in the empire is unparalleled. The royal family categorically did not have the strength to eradicate it. What's more, now that the orcs are on the offensive, if civil strife breaks out in the empire, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, although the relations between the two sides are tense, in the face of foreign enemies, they still have to unite and unite with the outside world.
It was also since then that the relationship between the imperial family and the Dragon Temple took a sharp turn for the worse, and the main hall of the Dragon Temple, which was originally located in the imperial capital, was withdrawn from the imperial capital and had reached about 300 miles north of the imperial capital, and gradually built a second male city in the empire after the imperial capital - Dragon City.
Until now, the relationship between the Imperial Family and the Dragon Temple is still very delicate, the relationship between the two sides is very stiff, but they still have to cooperate, and in this way, this delicate balance is still maintained to this day.
Of course, this is not the point now, the point is - today's Rhea City has welcomed a guest, a guest from Dragon City.
