The Fall of Bretonnia - Part 1
- Location
- Castlevania
[X] Lyonesse: Lyonesse is currently leaderless and is the most weakened of the dukedoms currently thanks to the rot tide, it will be an easy picking.
The dukedom of Lyonesse was in the end a very easy target of conquest, it forces were shattered and scattered to the four winds, its duke was killed and then resurrected as a zombie, the late dukes family trying and failing to hold the dukedom together, it had no leadership and no armies. The peasants are the ones who most suffered, as they are the ones who lost their husbands, brothers, and sons to machinations of a war that should not have escalated to this point, they lived fearful lives now, until an unlikely savior came.
A man cladded in midnight armor leading a million strong army composed of undead, dark beasts, magicians and even dragons, he completely destroyed the threats which plagued the peasants. He casted down the followers of Nurgle, hunted down the few beastmen groups which managed to reach Lyonesse. At first they were scared of him and his dark army, but as time passed and they saw how he never actually attacked them, and he actually healed the sick and the injured when he saw their conditions. Parents hugging their children as they now didn't have the chance of dying because of disease, old veterans of previous wars look at their lost limbs now fully restored and cried tears of joy.
The one who did this, was now wondering why he didn't try to do the latter before. When they discovered that he was a literal god in the mortal plane, they immediately kneeled and started praying, for this god was not far away in some unknown place this god came personally and helped them. The fact that this is the god who the dragon cults said that would come to save them was simply a added bonus, as the cult rose in popularity.
The nobles did not like this but they didn't have any armies, only a few knights as the duke took their last armies with a large force behind with him, before disappearing along with them. This did not say that they were not planning to warn the rest of Bretonnia about the massive dark army, of course the nobles did not live for long as they either suffered 'accidents' or were publicly executed in the front of thousands, the peasantry had no love for the nobles but after the simple saying that they were conspiring against the new order they instantly became angry at the previous nobility.
While the nobles were executed, their holdings where being seized by the new order, their wives and children were put on house arrest, while Dracul considered killing them he decided against it as it would hurt his reputation, he would let them live at least and who knows maybe they will actually become loyal servants for children mids are much more malleable than adults towards a new power figure. And if they even attempt to rebel the executioner's axe is always ready to be used at traitors and enemies of the state.
The impaled corpses of their houses' patriarchs left to rot for a time before being raised in front of their states probably helped to keep them loyal to you and not cause any type of ruckus. And why the hell are those doves that keep following him?! It feels like he has an unknown watcher or pursuer.
After a brief look at the personal library of a noble (which wasn't the first to be raided by him), he found that the white dove is a holy symbol of the goddess Shallya, which is why her priesthood robes are majorly white or at least have the color white in them along with the symbol of doves in them, she is also the daughter of Morr the empire god of death though he skipped across that tidbit of information, not before reading it of course.
Now that everything was good for his new conquered territory, time to settle a few things first…
VICTORY!!!
