The Holy Empire mourned, and the Holy Empire lost an old man who could stabilize the situation at the most vulnerable moment. A subordinate of Archbishop Rodaram, the young Bishop Caster was exceptionally promoted to archbishop, and at the age of 46 he became the youngest archbishop in the history of the Holy Empire.
The holy city of Caen is full of mourning, filled with sadness everywhere. While people feel sorry for the death of Archbishop Rodaram, they are also feel uneasy about the recent dangerous situation faced by the Holy Empire. The security forces and divine punishment troops roam the streets and alleys from time to time, making the people of the holy city more afraid. Panic, comments on current affairs are strictly prohibited. If there is any dissatisfaction with the imperial policy, they will be arrested and tortured, and most of the people who are tortured will never leave the religious institute. The Holy City has almost become a frightening and repressing death.
However, the most tragic thing is not the residents of the capital of the Holy Empire, but the people of the Lovik region far north. In the long battle between the Adams Empire and the army of the fortress empire, the Adams people suffered hellish. The fortress empire first robbed * finances, but the people occupied by the fortress empire. People's life was in trouble, and then the Adams Empire became worse. After grabbing the property, they had to requisition everything that could be requisitioned, which made the people of the Lovik region, which had been plagued by war, fall into despair.
At the end of July, the four-month dog-biting war forced the two sides to arrest the Lovik area almost at the same time to supplement the soldiers, which made it impossible for the already unsustainable poor working people to prepare supplies for the winter before the next winter came. The extremely sad and angry Lovik people finally couldn't stand it. Tolerating, this caused a discordant episode in the dog-biting war. A small local nobleman in Lovik was bullied and robbed by two foreign invaders and led the slaves at home to repuls the fortress imperial soldiers who came to expropriate strong men. Who knew that he was worshipped as a hero by the locals, and then there was More people volunteered to join his command, and soon he took control of a large area around his town, and the Lovik riot began.
History remembers the name of the little nobleman who led the riot: Gopes. He was a capable young man. He knew that his strength was seriously insufficient. Once he began to threaten the armies of Adams and the fortress, he was likely to be destroyed in an instant, so he began to contact the remnants such as the 11th Legion of the Holy Empire near the city of Vito, and the two sides reached a secret agreement. It has not been verified, but then the 11th Legion and other remnants of the Holy Empire began to cooperate with the rioting civilians in the Lovik area.
With the joining and training of the regular army and rich in combat experience (for many years of war, you can see it clearly), the Lovik militia formed a large number of cavalry troops by virtue of their local advantages rich in horses. Subsequently, this force liberated the whole territory of Lovik and occupied the province of Meranxing Province. jiang。 Then, led by the young commander Gopes, the army swept through the far north province and wiped out the Adams garrison in the far north province. Adams' main force was confronting the main force of the fortress empire in Bia Province. When he learned that the situation was not good, the veteran Griffith quickly turned back to meet him and finally drove Luo away with imitation crossbows. Vic's Rebel Army.
Seizing the gap of the fortress empire to attack the whole line, the old marshal Griffizi was forced to retreat, withdraw to the Blue Card Province, and gradually stabilized its position. The Lovik Rebel Army, supported by the people of the Lovik region, was quickly replenished and invaded Ladora Province with the elves. Sen gained the border, and the Lovik Rebels, who suffered a great loss from the crossbow, began to trade with the Elf Forest, exchanging good horses for a large number of strong crossbows and crossbows. Then the Lovik Rebels attacked the northwest and entered the province of Bia.

Everyone is full of goodwill for this army that appeared as a rescuer. People have signed up for the Rebels and defended their land with their lives. Subsequently, the Lovik uprising army, which received weapons and supplements, defeated the exhausted fortress imperial army in Bia Province and drove the fortress empire out of Bia Province.
At this moment, the Rebels have controlled the vast land of five provinces, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and won a series of victories such as the extreme north victory, the Ladora victory and the Bia victory.

In October of the same year, Adams and the fortress empire and the Lovik Rebel Army signed an armistice agreement in Haka, Bia Province. The agreement stipulates that Adams and the fortress empire completely stop the attack on Bia Province, give up the struggle for the Lovik region, and each country compensates the people of the Lovik region 100,000 gold coins as a symbolic apology. . At the same time, Adams and the fortress empire shook hands on the surface, and the war between the three major forces in the northwest stopped.
When the army of the Holy Empire wanted to enter the Lovik area, it was also attacked by the Lovik Rebel Army. The Holy Empire declared the Lovik Rebel Army as the Lovik Rebel, but ordered Baoken to lead the army to destroy it. The Baoken Brown Group, which was stationed in Thor Fortress and Leonard City, turned a blind eye to it and taught on behalf of him. Emperor Chris once again dropped his cup at the Pope's Hall meeting. The army formed in a hurry in the north was forced to fully turn into defense and gathered in Senbei Province and other areas.
When the war continued in the north, the two sides of the confrontation in the south were not calm. Leon Barton commanded the army to launch an offensive to recapture Tito Fortress, and Yue Linger led her newly formed army to attack the province of Bath south with the slogan of revenge. On a wide range of land in the south, the armies of the two sides came and went. They did not give in to each other. In the end, the two sides lost a total of 200,000 troops, but they were still standing where they set off.
