I've run out of money to protect Arad

Chapter 403 Sunset and New Star

This dark jihad lasted for 94 years and did not end until 347 of the Arad calendar.

During this period, the Perus Empire and Xuzu formed an alliance to fight against the Pretender Legion. The Dark Elf King Barak who colluded with the Pretender died in this war, and Eled became the new king of the Dark Elf family.

Then the dark elf mages wiped out the evil dragon Spitz sent by the Explosive Dragon King Bakar to the continent of Arad.

In the end, the ancestors of the clergy fought a large-scale bloody battle with the pretender troops led by Ozma in the black land.

In the end they succeeded in expelling Ozma to other worlds, but at a very high price.

Just like the impact of the Anshi Rebellion on the prosperous Tang Empire, the dark jihad also greatly depleted the national power of the Perus Empire, and various signs of division were frequent, which became a turning point for the Perus Empire to turn from prosperity to decline.

Although the emperor of the empire has made a lot of efforts, trying to rely on various policies to recover the losses and revive the country, it is a pity that the failure is not great.

At the same time, when the power of the Perus Empire was declining, some monsters also began to attack the towns and residents. The whole Arad was frequently fought and the chaos continued to intensify.

Only then did the emperor of the empire begin to regret it, but it was too late.

Alice had already disappeared into the crowd.

Of course, from Alice's point of view, the demise of the Perus Empire was doomed by the prophecy, and she was just acting according to the prophecy's instructions, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The story of the king and the jackal was true, the old lion's kingdom was finally destroyed by the jackal.

Ironically, it was the emperor's attempt to avoid this outcome that was the cause of it.

Today's cause is tomorrow's effect, and today's effect is tomorrow's cause. The law of heaven recurs, and the retribution of karma is nothing more than yes.

If he hadn't listened to Alice's prophecy back then, and hadn't committed the mentally handicapped act of self-destructing the Great Wall, would Kazan and Ozma have turned against him?

no one knows.

It's just that there is no if in history, it happened, it happened.

In the end, the empire gradually came to an end at the hands of the God of Chaos and the God of Destruction as prophesied.

If the dark jihad was the turning point for the empire to turn from prosperity to decline, then a series of actions by the successors of the empire intensified this process.

Only two years after the end of the Dark Jihad, in Arad 349, the Perus Empire tore up the alliance treaty with the Xu Motherland and launched a large-scale war of aggression against Xu Zu.

It's a pity that everyone in Xuzu is martial, the country is small, but its strength is strong, and the Perus Empire is no longer as strong as before, so the war lasted only two years, and the Perus Empire had to withdraw from Xuzu. admit defeat.

Fortunately, the emperor of the empire at this time was Falmeria IV. Under the rule of this powerful monarch, the Perus Empire just survived.

But six years later, in 357, with the death of the iron-blooded emperor Falmeria IV, the Perus Empire could no longer hold on and officially split into multiple separatist forces.

The most powerful country on the Arad continent finally got rid of itself.

But the impact of the jackal is far from over...

In the 425th year of the Arad calendar, nearly 70 years after the Perus Empire split into several vassal states, a force that claimed to be the orthodox descendant of the Perus Empire stood out from many separatist forces.

In the name of regaining their homeland, they began to wage war against other forces.

It is Delos today.

Soon afterwards, a very small number of people on the continent of Arad appeared ghost hands, and some people suffered from the Kazan plague, also known as "Kazan syndrome".

The characteristics of the patient are that the pupils turn red, the strength and speed increase greatly, but they are unable to maintain their sanity, and they can see the ghost of the late Kazan during the onset.

There is no treatment for Kazan Syndrome after the onset of the disease. You can only try to avoid making your mood swings too intense, so as to delay the onset.

In fact, this was caused by the general Kazan who was framed by the empire back then.

Not long after Kazan was exiled to the south of the Silu Mountains after his Tesuji was broken, his former companion, Ozma, who had degenerated into the God of Chaos, found him.

Ozma used his own strength to help Kazan become the God of Destruction, and hoped that he could join him in complexing the empire.

But Kazan did not agree, so Ozma led the pretender alone and started his plan to destroy the world.

As for Kazan, he continued to wander around in the form of a god of destruction. During this period, those who were possessed by him in his arms would suffer from Kazan syndrome.

From then on, left-handed mutated infected people began to appear in the Arad Continent one after another. They were the famous berserkers, Lord Red, and the representative of them was Lukexi.

In 652 Arad, the Battle of Cantwin broke out.

This battle is significant.

At this time, the Perus Empire had come to an end, and its rule was crumbling like the setting sun, so it could only retreat to Cantwin.

On the contrary, the Delos forces, which had not yet declared an empire at this time, were like a rising star, launching a full-scale attack on the remaining forces of the Perus Empire.

This battle is seen as a battle to snatch the last kingship of the Perus Empire and establish Delos' own orthodox status.

This battle was so tragic and tragic that even today, the people of Delos cannot forget it.

Facing the Delos army of more than 30, the Perus Empire Army with only 2 people resisted desperately.

In order to make up for the lack of military strength, the last loyal minister of the Peruvian Empire, the priest Jig, used the power of ghosts and gods to forcefully fight against the Delos army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers.

Among them, Kazan, the God of Destruction, is his first ghost, Kazan of Soul Blade.

In addition, there is the second ghost, Kaija of afterimage;
The third ghost, Primon of Corrosion;

The fourth ghost, Saya of Frost;
The fifth ghost, Rakshasa of the plague;
The sixth ghost, Carlo of Underworld Flame;
The seventh ghost and god, the fear of evil gods.

With the help of the power of the seven great ghosts and gods, Priest Jige withstood the attack of Delos' 30 troops with [-] troops, and even plunged Delos into a bitter battle.

But the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Jige, who had exhausted all his strength to resist the rebel army, was finally unable to drive the ghosts and gods.

In the end, he was dragged underground by all kinds of ghosts and gods, and disappeared from this world.

The Peruvian army, without its commander, soon surrendered to the oppression of Delos' army.

The Delos army successfully occupied Cantwin, and Cantwin was also dubbed the "Doomsday Capital" because of this war.

The Battle of Cantwin is of great significance in the history of the entire Delos Empire and the continent of Arad, mainly in the following three aspects.
