Background story summary
Background Story Summary
The Mons Continent is adjacent to the sea in the southeast and the mountains in the northwest. It has fertile land and abundant products. King Edward Augustine was a man of great talent and good at fighting when he was young. He led the human race to unify the Mons Continent and established the Lionheart Kingdom. He appointed his three generals: Andrew, Victoria (female) as Duke and Dorian, each with 100,000 elite soldiers, stationed in Kaiyan Plateau, Silver Forest, and Storm Plains to prevent foreign invasion.
For ten years, the world was peaceful, the army was strong, and the treasury was full. King Edward gradually became depressed in comfort, indulged in wine and women, and ignored government affairs. Duke Andrew of Casterly Rock is still loyal to the king and fully assists the eldest prince in ruling the country; Duke Stormwind is ambitious and wants to collude with Prince Blaze to kidnap the young prince Arthur to become a puppet king; Duchess Silver uses her female advantage to mediate, remaining neutral on the surface, and secretly arranges her two daughters to approach Duke Stormwind's second son, Trigg, and Duke Casterly Rock's eldest son, Justin, hoping to promote marriage. No matter which family is in power, they will be invincible.
The evil forces sent the black wizard Uda to sneak into the Mons Continent to stir up chaos. Uda first controlled the barbarian army of the hunting force in the forest, and then used the desires and greed of all parties to provoke a small-scale conflict between the Duke Stormwind and the Duke Casterly Rock's army, and implicated the eldest prince and the little prince. Finally, he bewitched the suspicious King Edward and ordered the three dukes to return to King's Landing to report on their duties. The king took the opportunity to place the three dukes under house arrest and wanted to take back the military power.
Duke Andrew of Casterly Rock directly confronted the king and was beheaded by King Edward. He also sent Captain Jason to take over Casterly Rock with his guards. Duke Silver took the initiative to marry his eldest daughter to the second prince to temporarily ease the king's suspicion. Duke Dorian of Stormwind escaped and sent the assassin Silva to assassinate the king. King Edward was seriously injured and Queen Carina died. The king was furious and ordered the commander of the garrison, Colbert, to lead the elite garrison troops of the royal city and Duke Victoria of Silverwind to Stormwind Plains to encircle Duke Stormwind. The two sides were evenly matched and fought a bloody battle, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers killed and wounded.
The royal city was empty, and Prince Blaze suddenly attacked and poisoned the eldest prince. The king finally realized that all this was a conspiracy of Duke Stormwind, but it was too late and he died of illness. Blaze took advantage of the chaos to coerce the ministers and agreed that the young prince Arthur would inherit the throne.
The news of the Duke of Casterly Rock being killed reached Casterly Rock. The two sons of Duke Andrew disagreed and split into two factions: the eldest son Justin believed that he should continue to be loyal to the king and obey the takeover; the second son Bran was determined to take revenge. Bran and Lieutenant Jonathan led the light cavalry to set up an ambush and defeated the king's army, and killed the captain of the guard Jason. The matter was done, Justin had to rebel, raised the banner of serving the king, proclaimed himself Duke, and sent troops to attack King's Landing in the name of destroying Blaze.
The new king Arthur issued an order at the instruction of Blaze to exempt the Duke of Stormwind from the crusade and appointed him as the highest military commander of the kingdom. At the same time, he declared the Casterly Rock army a rebel army. The king asked the armies of Colbert, Duke of Silver, and Duke of Stormwind to return to the royal city immediately to quell the rebellion of Casterly Rock.
Colbert withdrew first. Victoria felt the hidden crisis and hesitated to move. Earl Ovaris under the command of the Duke of Stormwind had long been dissatisfied with Dorian's brutal rule. He secretly defected to Victoria and revealed the secret that King Arthur was actually controlled by Dorian. Victoria took advantage of the situation and pretended to lead the army to follow the Duke of Stormwind to the royal city to defend the king. When they reached the valley, they suddenly launched a rocket attack. Ovaris cooperated to block the way forward. The Duke of Stormwind Dorian was attacked from all sides and was seriously injured and unable to break through the siege. He fell into despair. At the last moment, he did not want to be captured and humiliated, so he committed suicide to seek relief. The commander of his infantry, the female countess Christine, who was also his lover, fought a decisive battle with Ovaris in grief and anger, and died together. Duke Victoria cleaned up the forces of Stormwind City and integrated the Stormwind City army. He continued to march north and took the opportunity to kill Blaze and become the controller behind the scenes.

Reference essay
Chapter 1 Shadows on the Iron Throne
As the icicles of the long river hit the docks of King's Landing, the bronze boots of Andrew, Duke of Casterly Rock, were rolling over the raven feathers in the throne room. Twenty years later, the blade on the Iron Throne still cuts the flesh of the lazy - the blood oozing from King Edward's thigh is slowly soaking the velvet cushion.
"The smoke of war at Thunder Pass burned for three days and three nights." Andrew took off his wolfskin cloak covered with frost and snow, revealing the criss-crossing sword marks on his armor. The elven emblem presented by the servant rolled down the steps of the throne, and the silver crescent was split in half by some kind of claw. "The outposts in the Silver Forest are all destroyed, your majesty."
The crisp sound of a wine vessel falling to the ground came from the Iron Throne. The king's fingertips wandered on the relief of the hilt, where the inscription "Dragon Slayer" was once engraved, but now it was covered with wine stains. "My Lady Silver will take care of it..." His voice was suddenly interrupted by a violent cough, and the maid hurriedly caught the bloody sputum with a golden handkerchief.
Andrew's sword suddenly hummed. Twenty years ago, when the Bloodthorn City was captured, the sapphire of this dragon-slaying sword also glowed coldly. He turned around suddenly, and three dark shadows were jumping out from behind the saints in the stained glass window. The poisoned dagger brushed against the Duke of Casterly Rock's neck guard, scraping green sparks on the bronze armor.
"Be careful of the royal meeting!" Victoria Silver's emerald arrow broke through the air and pierced the throat of the second assassin. The Duchess's silver fox fur flowed with moonlight under the candlelight, as if she broke into the throne room with the mist of the Silver Forest. The last assassin's scimitar was already close to the king's throat, but suddenly stiffened before the dragon-slaying sword pierced his heart - Edward's turbid pupils reflected the black spider pattern behind the assassin's ear.
The king's trembling fingers stroked the bloodstain on his neck, and his turbid eyes swept over the mistletoe wrapped around Victoria's quiver. "Call..." His voice was suddenly torn apart by the north wind, and the blizzard knocked open the oak door, carrying the death knell from the black tower.
Chapter 2 The Fangs of the Viper
The autumn wheat on the Storm Plains was surging with golden waves, and Dorian Storm was stroking the bronze mechanism of the siege crossbow. The parchment map turned yellow under the candlelight in the king's tent, marking every path from the secret passage of the Iron Shield Pass to the wine cellar of the royal kitchen. "When the ice wolves and silver foxes in the north are both defeated," he pressed the wax of the serpent emblem on the secret letter, "let our ravens fly into the eldest prince's bedroom."
The sound of the herald's horse hooves startled the skylarks in the wheat field. When the king's order with the frost emblem was unfolded under the candlelight, frost flowers condensed on the edge of the parchment: "The Duke of Casterly Rock was executed for treason, and the Storm Legion was ordered to immediately..."
Dorian's laughter stopped abruptly. The moment the warhammer smashed the helmet of the herald, three bloody smoke rose from the direction of the Iron Shield Pass. On the horizon, the crescent flag of the Silver Legion was unfolding on the other side of the long river. Where the rain of emerald arrows passed, the leather armor of the Storm Infantry was as fragile as straw.
"Poison the fire altar!" Dorian's roar caused ripples on the river surface. The pottery jar buried in the ground exploded, and the green mist rushed to the other side along the south wind. Countess Christine's scimitar reflected her sneer at the corner of her mouth-until countless white bone palms stretched out from the boiling river.
On the hill on the other side, Uda's bone staff was drawing a blood rune array. The black wizard's shriveled lips moved the ancient spell, and the dead soldiers of the Storm Legion actually twitched and climbed up, grabbing the ankles of their former comrades with rotten hands.
"This is the real war." Dorian pulled off the cloak embroidered with venomous snakes, and the storm emblem looked like a living thing under the light of the fire. When the first resurrected skeleton bit his wrist guard, he suddenly saw Victoria's eldest daughter untying her emerald hair ornaments in the moonlight behind the line of the Silver Legion.
Chapter 3 Direwolf's Woe
When Justin Kaiyan's battering ram hit the south gate of the royal city for the third time, asphalt-like black blood oozed out of the cracks in the wall. The direwolf flag fluttered in the sulfurous wind, and he suddenly remembered what his father said when he was summoned to King's Landing: "The real enemy always wears the mask of a friend."
"Raise the flank!" Bran's roar came from the flank. His brother's silver armor was full of dents, but the dragon-slaying sword was still chopping the monsters pouring out of the city gate - those creatures stitched with human and beast limbs, with granulations dripping with acid at the joints. Justin suddenly realized that the poisonous snake patterns of the Storm Legion remained on the armor of these monsters.
When the green vortex appeared on the spire of the royal city, the direwolf knights saw the truth behind the starry sky: the six-winged demons were squeezing out their rotten bodies from the cracks, their eyes on the scales blinking, and each pupil reflected Uda's withered smile. The seven moonlights rising from the direction of the Silver Forest barely supported the barrier, and the ancient ballads of the elves drifted with the north wind, but were shattered in the demons' roars.
"Go to Silver..." Bran's last words were mixed with blood foam. The sapphire of the Dragon Slayer Sword dimmed for a moment, and Justin saw the last picture in his brother's pupils: Victoria's second daughter was at the top of the treasure pass, throwing the blood-stained direwolf emblem off the cliff.
Chapter 4 Broken Crown
The morning mist of the Silver Forest wet Victoria's silver armor, and she stared at the disintegrating Storm Legion in the crystal ball. The eldest daughter's emerald hair ornaments trembled slightly on the divination table, reflecting the rotating star gate on the spire of King's Landing. "Mother, Lord Ovaris's raven has arrived." In the iron box brought by the second daughter, the sword of the Duke of Stormwind was oozing black mucus.
When Victoria's silver bowstring cut Blaze's throat, she smelled the unique sulfur smell of the treasure cellar. The prince's fingers were still twitching and scratching the armrests of the throne, and the newly engraved serpent emblem on it had not yet dried. "Tell the dwarf king," she wiped the blood splashed on her cheek, "I want all the meteorite iron in his underground palace."
On the seventh night after the star gate was opened, the Black River suddenly reversed. Uda's wild laughter echoed in the ruins of King's Landing, and the hearts of three thousand barbarian captives were beating regularly on the altar. When the first six-winged demon completely drilled out of the crack, the moonlight rising from the Silver Forest suddenly went out-Victoria saw her eldest daughter lying in front of the crystal altar, with a broken sword engraved with the emblem of Casterly Rock stuck in her chest.
