Chapter 02 Empire Chaos

The border of the Holo Kingdom, Black Rock Town.

The people of the Kingdom of Huoluo are fierce and martial. Ordinary disputes among the people may be beaten to death. "If you can solve them with your fists, don't use your mouth!" is the most famous proverb in Huoluo.

Hollo's tavern is the most direct place to feel the customs of the kingdom. You can hear the noise from inside from the tavern.

Today, the atmosphere in the town’s tavern was even more lively. The sound of cheers and the sound of the bottom of the cup hitting the table kept coming from the tavern, attracting more and more people from the town to gather in the tavern.

"I suggest toast to King Timothy again! Because of the famous King Timothy, we, Hollo, have more than two million square kilometers of fertile plains, and our children will no longer have to eat those unpalatable black bread!" A tall man with a shirtless upper body stepped on the table with a large ale glass and suggested loudly.

"Cheers to the King!"

"Cheers to the King"

The man's proposal immediately attracted another burst of cheers and the sound of a collision between the wine glass.

A young man then stood up, not sure whether it was because of alcohol or excitement, his face flushed, "I suggest, I propose to toast to His Holy Pope!"

"Cut", "Huh", "Hmm"...

In addition to talking about the response of a few people, most of them responded by disdain or making noises.

Among the human kingdoms, the Holo Kingdom believes in the God of Light, because of the dangerous geographical conditions and difficult living environment, the people of the Holo Kingdom believe in various religions such as Zoroism, the God of the Gods, and the Earth Mother Gods. Most of them are heresy and cults recognized by the Church of Light.

The young man sat back awkwardly amid laughter.

A middle-aged man immediately stood up, "I propose toast to our new Emperor, His Majesty Grantham! I wish His Majesty the Emperor good health and longevity!"

Most of the people in the tavern stood up and raised their glasses to respond. Strangely, many people were sitting in their seats without moving.

"Why should I respect a despicable father-killer!" A disharmonious voice suddenly came out.

"Who is slandering His Majesty the Emperor behind his back, I have the will to stand up and say it!"

"I said." A mercenary in brown leather armor stood up, "Only you idiots are still blinded. King Isaac has released the evidence that it was Grantham who planned the assassination of the Emperor and who despicablely pushed the murderer to our Death Academy."

The middle-aged man immediately retorted, "You are the real idiot. Have you seen the evidence with your own eyes? That is the fake evidence that the Isaac Kingdom was jealous of our Hollo, who obtained a large area of ​​land and sent troops to invade the Lock Kingdom."

"Idiot, King Isaac reappears light and shadows with the impression scroll. Countless people have seen it with their own eyes. They can read it by finding someone who understands lip words, and they can't do fake it at all."

The middle-aged man was still dissatisfied, "You have to figure out which side our Holo Kingdom is now on. The two million kilometers of land was enthroned by the new emperor!"

The mercenary continued to scold, "Idiot! Those lands were captured by our warriors! Is Grantham using our Hollo and not enthroned us to empire with the strength to take back from our warriors?"

"You are the idiot!" The middle-aged man directly smashed the wine glass in his hand at the mercenary.

The mercenary turned his head and flashed his wine glass and rushed towards the middle-aged man. The two immediately fought together.

It was just in line with Hollo's proverb, "If you can solve it with a fist, don't use your mouth!"

The fight between the two pushed the atmosphere in the tavern to a climax, and everyone gathered around the two to cheer and applaud.

No one noticed that in a corner of the bar were two young men wearing gray cloaks. The two of them just lowered their heads and drank without any expression on their faces, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire bar.

The two were Arthur and Joan, and it had been a whole week since they escaped from Alantis.

What happened this week made the two dumbfounded and caught them off guard, which was truly witnessing the great methods of the emperor and the empress.

Although Alex died on the spot in front of the imperial palace, it took two days to calm down. The coalition troops and the remnants of Alex lurking in the imperial capital were basically cleaned up in the past two days, and even the ministers who were originally inclined to the lineage of His Highness were taken advantage of the opportunity to clean up.

Fortunately, Qiong escaped. His Highness, Thirteen, and Fourteen in the imperial capital all died on the night Alex led the rebels to siege the city. The cause of death was naturally the rebels looting the royal palace and unfortunately died in the chaos.

It can be seen that the ruthlessness of the Emperor and Empress!

On the third day, the bloodstains in the imperial capital had not been cleaned yet, and the destroyed main gate of the imperial palace was not yet fully restored, so the crown prince Grantham officially ascended the throne to inherit the throne.

The throne ceremony was unexpected to everyone. The throne ceremony held in the Imperial Palace's Duty Hall for generations was changed to be held in the Hall of Light, and the Pope himself crowned the emperor.

Everyone suddenly realized that this was probably one of the secret agreements reached between the emperor and the pope. The empire was originally aligned with the kingship, but now it was changed to the pope to crown the emperor, which means that the imperial family actively recognized the royal power under the godship.

During this period, something unexpected happened. After the army of Holo, who was originally considered to be His Highness, entered Bados, suddenly launched an attack on Bados.

The 200,000 troops of Bados were still outside the imperial capital at this time, and other troops were also gathering on the border of the kingdom to intercept the attacks of Ruge and Locke's troops. There were only less than 50,000 troops left in the empty royal city, and the royal city was captured by Holo's army within one day.

The first emperor's order after the new emperor took office was to deprive the throne of the King of Bardos who participated in the Alex rebellion, and his kingdom was divided equally by the three kingdoms of Holo, Ruge and Locke, who had made contributions to suppressing the rebellion.

It turned out that the Kingdom of Holo had already fallen secretly towards the emperor and empress, and Alex and Bardos were probably the only ones who had been kept in the dark.

After Holo captured the royal city of Bados, he rushed south. When the imperial order was issued, nearly half of the territory of the Kingdom of Bados had been occupied, and Holo naturally did not want to give up the extra land.

Ruge and Locke's army had already attacked Bados at this time, and the situation in the imperial capital had not yet been completely calm. There were signs of war again over land disputes between the three kingdoms.

At this moment, Strach threw out a heavy **, using the impression scroll of Joan to uncover the mystery of the Emperor's assassination, and pointed out that Grantham killed his father and brother to usurp the throne.

The Isaac Kingdom did not recognize the position of Grantham as the emperor, and in the name of avenging the emperor, gathered a 400,000 army with the two field legions of Tieliu and Fire as the main force, and drove their troops into the Locke Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Kildan followed Isaac and issued a statement that it did not recognize Grantham's throne as emperor, and also assembled 400,000 troops to enter the border of the Kingdom of Ruge.

Ruge and Rock no longer bothered to compete with Holo for the one-third of the land, and the army hurried back to the country.

The Norman Kingdom, which had not been in the chaos of the strife between various forces, exploded with a bigger thunder following Isaac. They actually took advantage of the chaos to rescue His Seventh Highness Idil on the day of the Blood Night in the Imperial Capital.

After Strach threw out evidence of Grantham's father-killing, Norman not only refused to recognize Grantham's position as the emperor, but also publicly announced that he would support the Seventh Highness as the new emperor.

There was a situation in which one country and two kings appeared in the Empire of Light.

More than two hundred years later, the similar history of human race has reappeared again, but it has changed from the "Thirteen Rebellion" of that year to the "Six Kingdoms Controversy".

The dizzying chaos of the empire has nothing to do with Arthur and Joan at this time, because the most urgent thing for the two is to escape from the joint pursuit of the Light Church and the Emperor and Empress.
