The Knight's Journey to the Empire

However, what makes many historians feel sorry is that although the rebel army seems very powerful, it is actually very fragile. Otherwise, history might have taken a different course.

Because most of the members of the rebel army were ignorant, short-sighted slaves or paupers.

And this class itself has many characteristics that are difficult to change, such as limitations, blindness, weakness, and compromise...

Therefore, in the twenty years of war that followed, the aristocratic forces on all sides reacted and began to take advantage of the situation, forming aristocratic private armies and carrying out various encirclement, interception, ambush and killing operations on the rebel forces.

The various rebel forces were beaten and fled in panic, unable to fight back.

In the end, this huge rebel army that once swept across the entire Essex Empire was annihilated except for the one led by the "Saint of Destruction" Yasin!

The rest were either recruited by aristocratic forces or eliminated by aristocratic private armies.

This was also the dividing line. The originally mighty and sweeping uprising frenzy across the country began to decline and gradually came to an end in history...

The rebel army led by "Saint of Destruction" Yasin is the most powerful of all the rebel forces.

However, although this rebel army has the "Saint of Destruction" Yasin as its leader and spiritual pillar, and still maintains a relatively high morale and good combat power, its living environment is not necessarily that good...

As the saying goes: If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it!

In a slave society, if slaves revolt against the rule of the slave owners, they will be killed or maimed if they are not struck back hard at the first opportunity.

Then by the time the slave-owning nobles react and adjust their counterattack forces, the outcome will naturally be unpredictable!

Moreover, the rebel army led by the "Saint of Destruction" Yasin seemed powerful. They were invincible and unstoppable along the way.

But the principle that being too rigid will lead to breaking can also be applied to them.

Because this is determined by the composition of the rebel army: they can hardly withstand a major defeat, otherwise the entire army will soon collapse and disintegrate.

In addition, the "Saint of Destruction" Yasin also made an extremely important strategic mistake during his campaigns:

That is, he attached too much importance to conquering cities and seizing territories, and was extremely concerned about the gains and losses of each city and each piece of territory; however, after he had spent a large amount of military force to conquer the territories, and had plundered and destroyed them on a large scale, he did not attach importance to restoring production and construction, and allowing the people to recuperate.

Therefore, his aggressive and aggressive fighting style would naturally not be able to sustain him in a long-term war, and he would eventually be hated and abandoned by the people of the empire.

Therefore, in a crucial battle later, the rebel army led by "Saint of Destruction" Yasin was defeated by the coalition forces of various aristocratic forces due to a wrong decision, and soon collapsed and disintegrated.

Then, under the siege and blockade of the noble coalition forces, they could only retreat to the Ancortina Peninsula and defend it.

This really proves the old saying: One wrong move in chess, and the whole game is lost.

But the subsequent development of the war situation also proved the old saying: How can we know life and death before the end? How can we make a final conclusion when the world is not yet settled?

Because in the decisive battle between the two sides a year later, "Saint of Destruction" Yasin broke through to the professional level of Legendary Knight at the critical moment of the war and advanced to become a Legendary Saint!

As for the rebels' last territory, the Ancortina Peninsula, the noble coalition's fantasy of conquering it was ultimately shattered!

It is worth mentioning here that among the aristocratic coalition that jointly encircled and suppressed the rebels, the three largest aristocratic forces were the predecessors of the Kingdom of Essex, the Kingdom of Midburg, and the Principality of Glia.

It was in this war that destroyed the empire that the three princes of the empire, the imperial military minister, and the imperial duke finally reaped the benefits!

That’s right, in the initial war, the three forces united to encircle and suppress the rebels.

As for the current Kingdom of Midburg, Principality of Glia and Free City-State of Ancordina, the three parties have united to curb the development of the Kingdom of Essex.

That was after the noble coalition had been divided up due to uneven distribution of spoils, and had fallen apart and each had established its own country. They united only after seeing the Kingdom of Essex gradually becoming stronger.

This just proves the eternal truth: there are no eternal allies between countries, only eternal interests.

The Legendary Knight, also honored as the Legendary Saint, can have his own exclusive saint title!

The legendary saint is extremely powerful and aloof from the world. He regards millions of troops as nothing but grass and can kill tirelessly and at will, like a madly running killing machine with eternal power.

But these are not the point.

Because the most important thing is that the legendary saints have the ability to hover in the air. They can step on the void and soar into the clouds. They can come and go freely in this huge world.

And this is exactly why every country or major force is afraid of it.

Just imagine, in the age of cold weapons, would a humanoid missile with autonomous consciousness, the ability to carry out precise strikes and be used repeatedly not make people feel infinite fear and dread?

And that is exactly why, after "Saint of Destruction" Yasin broke through to the realm of legendary knight, he stepped on the void and walked step by step from the rebel camp to the central camp of the noble coalition under the gaze of thousands of soldiers from both sides participating in the decisive battle.

Then, after a negotiation whose process and content were little known, the two sides signed the historically famous "Sword Mark of the Saint of Destruction" Armistice Agreement.

The "Sword Mark of the Saint of Destruction" Armistice Agreement stipulates that "Saint of Destruction" Yasin will leave a sword mark on the ground by flying in the air. The area to the east of the sword mark is the private territory of "Saint of Destruction" Yasin, sacred and inviolable.

At this point, the uprising frenzy in the Essex Empire officially ended, the Ancortina Peninsula officially split from the Essex Empire, and the Free City-State of Ancortina was established.

In fact, after the "Saint of Destruction" Yasin advanced to become a legendary saint, he did have the ambition to fight again.

It was only because the team he had previously formed was almost wiped out in this final decisive battle; and due to his previous strategic mistakes, the people in the empire had already complained about him, otherwise the numerous rebel forces would not have been incorporated into the aristocratic coalition so quickly.

That was why he decided to negotiate a ceasefire with the coalition of nobles and choose to recuperate on their own.

However, the various clauses attached to the finally signed "Armistice Agreement of the "Sword Mark of the Saint of Destruction"" are definitely beneficial to the Free City-State of Ancortina, otherwise... hehe!

At this point, the Essex Empire gradually began to fall apart and became history...

(Note: This is one of the most toxic points in this article, because the author can't think of any reason that could make this extremely powerful "Saint of Destruction" choose to stop fighting. But the plot requires it, so it can only be done this way. I hope all readers don't criticize if you don't like it! Save your life!)
