Title: The Legend of Astrea
Chapter One: The World of Arcadia
In this world, the land is divided into two main continents: "Arcadia" and "Astrea". Between the continents lies a vast sea, and at its heart is the island of "Levi," which has become a thriving trade hub due to its strategic location. "Levi" has always remained neutral and uninvolved in conflicts, making it the perfect place for exchanging goods between the two continents.
In "Arcadia," power is distributed among four major kingdoms: "Porcen," led by the warrior King Darius Porcen, "Arvent," ruled by the harsh King Valen Arvent, "Korben" under the reign of King Alexander Korben, and the island of "Levi," known for its trade. While "Porcen" and "Korben" have formed an alliance, "Arvent" boasts a massive army of 30,000 soldiers, representing a formidable force, but it refused to join the dominance alliances.
Chapter Two: Adrian's Ascension
After the death of the great King Leonard Faerin, his son Adrian Faerin ascended the throne of "Astrea." Adrian inherited a strong kingdom and a powerful military force thanks to his father's reign, which had significantly strengthened the realm. However, the subsequent wars and internal disputes severely impacted the kingdom, reducing its strength. Initially, Adrian's forces numbered 50,000 soldiers, but after a period of internal strife and reorganization, the number fell to 40,000. Despite these challenges, Adrian worked diligently to restore the kingdom's stability and fortify its defenses.
Chapter Three: Betrayal and Alliances
Adrian soon discovered that his uncle, the cunning Baldin Faerin, was plotting against him. Baldin allied with Darius Porcen, King of "Porcen," and Alexander Korben, ruler of "Korben," to overthrow Adrian and seize control of "Astrea." Baldin was the mastermind behind the alliance's plan to diminish "Astrea's" influence and seize it for themselves.
Chapter Four: The Invasion of Arvent
Given the difficult and treacherous path from "Porcen" to "Astrea," the strategic choice was to pass through "Arvent" to reach "Astrea." Thus, the forces of "Porcen," numbering 45,000 troops, allied with "Korben" to attack the kingdom of "Arvent." The assault was led by King Darius Porcen, with a meticulously crafted plan by Baldin Faerin.
Chapter Five: The Battle of Arvent
The major battle between "Porcen" and "Korben" against "Arvent" became known as the "Battle of Brutality." King Valen Arvent ruled with an iron fist, and his soldiers were known for their cruelty and harshness. However, the soldiers despised their king due to his oppressive rule, making them prone to surrender after the king's death. During the battle, King Darius Porcen led his forces valiantly, but at a critical moment, Baldin betrayed him by stabbing Darius in the back. No one knew who the killer was. This betrayal caused significant confusion among the allied forces and created chaos in the battle.
Chapter Six: Internal Conflict and Betrayal
With the death of King Darius Porcen, his son Alexis Porcen took the throne in a ceremonial capacity. However, the real ruler was his uncle Baldin Faerin, who used the opportunity to restore stability and unify "Porcen." Baldin implemented strategic reforms and managed internal affairs to lead the kingdom effectively and strengthen its position in future conflicts.
Chapter Seven: Adrian's Preparations
Upon discovering his uncle Baldin's conspiracy, Adrian began preparing to confront the threat. He organized his forces and assembled 40,000 soldiers, preparing to march against his uncle. Baldin learned of Adrian's plans and responded by deposing the young prince Alexis Porcen, reorganizing his armies, and acquiring advanced weaponry and fortifications from neighboring lands and the island of "Levi."
Chapter Eight: The Great Battle
Baldin Faerin set out to face Adrian directly. In the decisive battle between the two armies, Baldin utilized his strategic acumen and modern equipment, including catapults and his loyal soldiers numbering 40,000. He also coordinated with the forces of "Arvent" and "Korben" to achieve dominance.
Thanks to his effective tactics and advanced gear, Baldin achieved a decisive victory, inflicting a severe defeat on Adrian's forces. Adrian retreated to his kingdom with only 20,000 soldiers left. This defeat marked a significant turning point in the conflict, forcing Adrian to return to his realm to reorganize his forces and prepare for future challenges.
Chapter Nine: The Battle of Rising Darkness
Baldin Faerin crossed the sea with his army to "Astrea," while Adrian faced economic weakness. However, the people of "Astrea" demonstrated strong loyalty by providing financial aid and support. Adrian purchased powerful weapons, armor, and advanced siege engines from neighboring lands and the island of "Levi," and prepared for the crucial battle.
Perched on a high mountain near the shore, Adrian deployed his forces and launched a barrage of arrows and flaming catapults at Baldin's ships at sunset. These attacks inflicted significant damage on the fleet and greatly lowered the morale of Baldin's troops. Baldin sustained severe injuries, increasing the pressure on his forces.
Chapter Ten: The Battle of Sunset
On the following day, Adrian descended with his army to the shore and launched a powerful surprise attack against Baldin's remaining forces. He effectively utilized his tactics, resulting in a crushing defeat for Baldin's troops. During the battle, Adrian confronted his uncle Baldin, who was on the verge of death. In the end, Adrian defeated Baldin, allowing him to unify both continents under his rule.
Chapter Eleven: Unification and Stability
After defeating his uncle, Adrian succeeded in unifying "Astrea" and "Arcadia" under his reign. The continents experienced a period of stability and prosperity due to his wise leadership. The united kingdom thrived in peace and development, establishing a new era of harmony and growth in the region.
