During this period, Shire's territory included the whole eastern part of Shiva, and only the forgotten people in the south could threaten Shire's territory, but Shire took the southern end of Shiva Mountain as a barrier, and the forgotten people later retreated for some reason, no longer posing a threat to Shire. This period can be said to be the golden age of Charles.
However, then something unfortunate happened-humans came and came to the territory of the shire with faith. The gods revered by mankind have endowed mankind with magical power. Charles had never seen and could not resist these magical powers. So human beings spread like a plague, and human strength forced Charles to retreat to the north, giving up this site which was later called Askalon by human beings.
Due to the emergence of the common enemy of mankind, the departments of the shire, which were originally independent, joined forces with the enemy as never before. Charles, led by Khan at that time, was ready to launch a Jedi counterattack with the intention of beating mankind out of the water. Unexpectedly, that Khan, the last Khan in the history of the shire, was assassinated on the eve of the counterattack.
Up to now, no one knows who assassinated the last Khan. He was a leader of the Shire Army who wanted to usurp the throne. Is it a person? Or the god of mankind? In any case, this assassination is an important event that affects the development of Charles for thousands of years. The last Khan formed four legions before his death, namely the Flame Legion, the Steel Legion, the Blood Legion and the Ash Legion. Every leader of the Legion has a surname related to the name of the Legion, such as Fire angel, Ashcrow, Tiequan and so on. After Charles lost his leader, the four legions immediately fought for power and status, each embracing a Khan's son to claim their power and legitimacy. (In fact, Charles doesn't know how many sons Khan gave birth to, but the four legions all claim to be supported by Khan's true blood. )
Legions fight with each other. Occasionally, a legion won and became the new Khan, but it was quickly shot down. No legion can wear a crown on its head for long. Charles didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The winner is king. Their savage nature has always been like this.
Cunning humans certainly won't miss such a good opportunity. Humans built the Great Wall in the North during the Civil War in the Shire to consolidate the land they seized from the Shire. The fragmented Shire army was broken one by one in front of the thick wall, which had nothing to do with human beings. It was also during this period that this land was named Askalon.
The civil war in the Shire lasted for more than 1000 years, which made human forces expand northward. Later, even a large area of land north of the city wall was under human jurisdiction.
Before the arrival of mankind, Charles didn't believe in God. Although Charles also knew that Merando created the myth of everything in the world, they didn't buy it. They don't think there will be a stronger force in the world than them. They think that even if there is a God, it is for them to conquer. Until Charles saw with his own eyes that human beings worshipped God, he got enough strength from God to defeat them. They realized that they were not invincible. Charles blamed all the failures on the God of mankind, and thought that only with the help of God can mankind win.
Therefore, in order to defeat mankind, Charles also began to look for his own god. About 200 years before the destruction of Askalon, a unit of the Flame Corps fled. After an expedition to Mount Hermè re, it was said that they found the God Charles had been looking for for for a long time (everyone knew it was Titan). The legion of flames took the lead in swearing allegiance to this new god, and did not hesitate to destroy all obstacles for the sake of faith. Slowly, one by one, all the legions were affected.
The shamans of the Flame Corps gradually expanded their power. They held a secret meeting in private, and planned to brainwash all the shire of the legion, forcing the legion to believe in Titan and swear allegiance, so that the legion was completely under their control.
However, this plot was destroyed by a heroine of the shire, Bathea Havocbringer, whose excellent fighting capacity made her the leader of the Bloody Corps. She stood up against the shaman. Although she successfully stopped the shaman's plot, she was executed and became a sacrifice of the Titan. After this incident, all female counties were forced to leave the military organization and were forced to stay in the rear to do logistics chores and production. They protested to the shaman that they should have the basic right to go to the front to kill the enemy, and the shaman responded on the grounds that it was God's will.
The first wave of counterattack launched by the Shaman-controlled Shire army was called the flame doomsday event. By building some kind of magical siege device, the shaman used the magic he got from the Titan, and then held a ceremony to drive them away. It is said that this ancient ceremony existed before there was a historical record in Rhea. Shamans used this to summon the meteor rain, which was formed by the crystallization of Titan (so there were many unidentified crystal objects on the ground of Askalon after the destruction). This terrible attack rained down on the land of Askalon, destroying buildings and city walls. Charles finally tasted the victory of hundreds of years of resistance. The Flame Corps took the lead in entering Askalon City, burning down houses and taking away all the humans who had no time to escape. Treat them like slaves.
It has been two years since mankind, and the heroes who have been reinforced from all over the world have only resisted the Charles Coalition of the Fourth Army. At this time, Charles began to change the style of war and waged a long-term war of attrition, trying to prove that they could defeat mankind without relying on Titan's magic.
For the next 30 years, man and Charles won and lost each other. But there is only one fortress left for mankind-Askalon City. King Edburn, led by the remaining Askalon army and volunteers, fought bravely against Charles in the surrounding areas of the city. Unfortunately, in the end, the walls of Askalon City fell down like the North Wall. The shire army swarmed in. Go into town and start the massacre.
Even at such an impossible moment of failure, Charles learned a painful lesson. King Edburn used suicide magic before he died. From his tower, a sword-like flame was sprayed into the whole city. The flame engulfed the city and killed all the shire troops that entered the city. After the fire was put out, the ghost of Askalon soldier began to appear in the street, clutching his weapon. Charles finally had to give up the whole city.
Since then, Askalon has never been occupied by any civilization, and the ghost of King Edbourne and his soldiers wander in the ruins of Askalon day after day. Even though Charles gradually recaptured the land they occupied thousands of years ago and pushed to the border of the Crystal Desert again, they still dared not set foot in Askalon again.
Charles also learned a valuable lesson in the long war with mankind. That is, even if they don't have a god, they can still keep their land.
Pyre Fierceshot (a hero of the Shire people) is a representative figure who opposes shaman and Titan beliefs. He was only the first wave of resistance against shaman autocracy, and since then it has become an underground movement against shaman. Shamans certainly don't sit back and wait. They tried to find new gods to consolidate their position and regain their deprived power.
Forty years after the real uprising, her granddaughter Kalla Scorchrazor overthrew the long-term rule of the Flame Corps and Shamans.
This is due to the Xia women who were suppressed by the shaman, because they have long been dissatisfied with the shaman's rule and secretly trained for generations. They were silent for a long time. Shamans never take these women seriously, nor are they prepared. So when Kalla Scorchrazor led the cross-legion Shire female soldiers to appear, their number far exceeded the shaman's expectation. Shaman's guards were overwhelmed by a large number of female soldiers.
Kalla Scorchrazor, with the legion as the backbone, restored the ancient traditional shire society. She didn't execute the wizard because their spells were still very useful. But since then, shamans have no political influence.
After the success of Carla Scolazo's uprising, the power of the Flame Corps plummeted. It was difficult to compete with the other three legions in a short time, so they retreated to their stronghold in the northeast. Other legions began to laugh at them as the Golden Legion, because they were as fragile and useless as decorative metal like gold (and because the shaman of the Flame Legion needed to perform rituals with gold). After more than a hundred years, people gradually forgot the real name of the Flame Corps and called them the Golden Corps.
More than 250 years after their first attack on the North Wall, the Shire still faces the ghost of Askalon and other natural dangers. But they almost digested the vast area east of the Shiva Mountains and built their own fortresses in the territory once occupied by human beings. One of the fortresses, Iron Castle, was built on the ruins of Lin (the former capital of Askalon, south of Norani College). From here, the shire may one day recapture the city of Askalon, and complete the conquest goal they started a long time ago. Shire's four main legions are Ash Legion, Flame Legion, Blood Legion and Steel Legion. Every legion is proud, militant and selfish. Every legion claims the right to inherit the throne. They described their members as descendants of the ancient Khan. There are also some Shire people who try to prove that they have nothing to do with military origin. They demanded independence and set up a new banner.
After the fall of Titan and the uprising of Karasko Lazor, the Legion of Flames was overthrown. Their mysterious power was destroyed and their shaman was reviled. Their remaining strength is only enough to deal with other legions and keep themselves alive. The fragmented legions fled to their former fortress, Helangmel in the northeast.
Out of ridicule, other legions began to call them the Golden Legion, and their weaknesses were like decorative metal. Gold was also used as a ritual for shamans to sacrifice to Titan. This also means their failure and ridicule of their empty gods.
A hundred years later, apart from the Golden Army, only a few Shires knew the original name of this army. Charles of the Golden Corps, with resentment and reviling, stood on the opposite side of the other three legions, struggling to survive and looking for opportunities to restore his original position-Khan's throne.
Each legion is quite independent, with each army and their own city as the central fortress. They would rather take a different route, but no legion would be stupid enough to ignore the goal of Charles' military conquest and rule. The Golden Army is proficient in magic, and the Iron Army is good at mechanical biology and siege tower. The Bloody Corps has the best melee fighters in the shire, while the Ashes Corps is famous for its stalkers and assassins.
Although the roads are different, all the legions are loyal to Khan's vacant throne. No shire will allow members of other legions to win without fighting. They gained valuable experience from blindly obeying the shaman's rule over the Golden Army.
The leaders of the four legions have to declare their ideas more than ever before, but none of them can keep their position-unify all the Shires under the same banner. Maybe one day the legion has a powerful enemy, and they will abandon their extremes again-or one day a legion will conquer all countries and unite with the shire.
But that day is not today. Charles is a carnivore. They don't eat any vegetarian food. They don't farm land, and they don't need to engage in agriculture unless they need construction or technology. They sent young counties or counties that could not continue fighting to graze some animals to feed their legions.
Charles' children are called cubs, and female cubs are occasionally called "tips" out of love. When they were born, they were covered with fur, their eyes were open and their limbs could move freely. After a few days, the cubs can follow their mother through the most difficult terrain. They eat meat a month after birth and become very independent a few months later.
Shire cubs are only raised by their parents during this period. From then on, they were taken to Fahrar camp (a place similar to a human school), where they were collectively taken care of by Charles of the Legion. The cubs in Fahrar camp were taught to unite with each other, encouraged to plan their own social framework and forced to join the army. Their names only exist there, and the names derived from the army are their surnames, such as Fierceshot or Doomclaw.
This army is like a primitive social group-and the only family-that every young Charles once knew. Although the cubs noticed their ancestry and parents, after the cubs were taken to Fahra of the Legion, the adult Charles was no longer interested in them, nor did he interfere with their education, feeding and development.
The original army of any legion bears the name of their legion-ashes, blood, steel and fire. Every legion is hereditary, but leaders must admit that their names have passed the test of blood-a battle against the descendants of Khan to gain the supremacy of the legion.
Occasionally, the non-Khan descendants of Shire joined the primitive army, and Zhao An traditionally took their surnames as his own names. But the * * * of each primitive legion is always the descendant of Khan, as the important heir of their legion and the heir to the throne of all shire (Khan).
It is also possible that Charles left the army when they were young, because of promotion or personal duties, or even because Charles could not fulfill his assigned obligations. Every Sherman from their original army is loyal to their original army. However, these Shires must change their names and quickly learn to adapt to new partners, otherwise they will only become food on the battlefield.
In a rather unusual atmosphere, Charles also joined the guild of human beings and other races, not the army. These counties may be exiled or just ordered to gain unusual allies. But despite their strange loyalty, no shire will forget their loyalty to their own legion.
