The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 01. Magic Kingdom

In a world called Altis or more precisely the planet Altis. About twice the size of Earth, the planet lies within the constellation Tilux.

Like Earth, the planet is also mostly made up of water, there are 3 large continents and thousands of small islands scattered across the planet.

Repel continent is the widest continent on the planet, there are many kingdoms established on it.

The continent is full of abundant resources, there are many mineral mines and vast forests that have yet to be explored.

There is a country dubbed as the magic kingdom in the continent of Repel.

His real name was Elamite kingdom, but people knew him better as a magic kingdom.

True to its nickname, the kingdom was ruled by people who were skilled in using magic.

Their territory covered a vast land.

There are two reasons why the magic kingdom can have such immense power in Repel.

The first is magic.

A power that is able to twist and bend the laws of the world, can create miracles according to the wishes of its users.

It's not as powerful as you think, but it's still useful.

Starting from simple destruction magic, magic that is able to manipulate people's hearts, magic that can change a person's appearance, as well as magic that can increase the sharpness of weapons.

There is also magic that is intended to keep the harvest from being attacked by insect pests and many other magic.

Magic is very flexible, they can be applied in all types of fields, such as: in the military, agriculture, government, daily life and even magic is very useful in the field of research and research.

Magic can also be categorized into several different types, depending on the way it is used and the effects it causes.

All the citizens of the Elam Kingdom were very excited about learning these magic. In its heyday, the magic kingdom had a great variety of magic, this is what made their military power the number one in the Repel continent.

Led by the royal family, the nobles, Sorcerer { royal witch} and the citizens who continue to train their magic diligently.

The kingdom has always abundant reserves of witches.

Another reason why magic empires could become the overlords of continents was that they warmly welcomed other races besides humans.

In this world, there lived a large number of non-human races.

For example there were Elves, Dwarves and demi-humans, although their numbers were not many.

They still have their own country and territory, they are basically treated like other humans in most countries.

But the non-humans living in this world were not just them, there were still many more races, such as: Goblins, Orcs, Ogres, Minotaurs, Centaurs, Fairy, Beasts, etc, and there are even still indigenous humans living in remote lands that do not understand language, living in this world.

However, most countries agree to consider them as barbarians or Monsters that must be destroyed.

Every country will destroy the villages they find, the inhabitants will be captured and made into slaves or killed on the spot.

The treasure they had, would be taken as the spoils of war.

Although every country hated and regarded them as monsters, only magic empires treated them the same as they treated humans and other non-humans.

The magic kingdom was the only one who treated them well and was willing to trade with them on equal terms.

Of course there were some rules that had been set in each of their transactions, although the magic kingdom welcomed them well.

But by and large, these tribes were friendly and calm during the ongoing transaction, of course the military power of the magic kingdom warring was important in this case.

The other kingdoms that witnessed this were of course not happy, they assumed the magic kingdom had betrayed them and humanity.

Because of this, the neighboring countries around him, starting from the Kingdom of Aria slowly suspect them and consider the kingdom of magic as a threat.

The magic kingdom that had a vast land unfortunately, did not have enough military power to maintain its entire area of power.

The neighboring countries, led by the Kingdom of Aria, began to exert military and economic pressure on the magic kingdom.

They even continuously infiltrated their armies into the kingdom to conduct espionage and sabotage.

The real war broke out when the forces of the Kingdom of Aria attacked a small village on the border of the Kingdom.

The magic kingdom did not accept this and directly gathered an army to counterattack.

Of course, the attack carried out by the Aria kingdom had been planned from the very beginning.

They deliberately carried out the attack as bait, to trap the magic kingdom sending their troops to carry out a precursor attack.

As previously agreed, the magic kingdom counterattacked. Neighboring countries accused them of military aggression against the kingdom of Aria.

Without listening to the explanation from the magic kingdom in the slightest, the neighboring countries immediately carried out a massive attack from all sides.

The magic kingdom was not a weak kingdom, they had a very strong army.

However, because their territory was so vast and their scattered soldiers were too thin to protect any borders. This is what makes the royal army easily defeated.

Even with their powerful magic, they would not be able to win against the attacks of thousands or even tens of thousands of enemy troops with their meager numbers.

Of course the wild tribes under the protection of the Magic Kingdom, also joined the war.

But due to the lack of equipment and training, they were unable to hold on for a long time and the Magic Kingdom slowly lost its military power.

The magic kingdom sent messengers of peace several times, but the Aria Kingdom and its allies continued to ignore them.

The messenger they sent was killed and his head was sent back to the kingdom.

The last blow that worsened the condition of the already-worshipped kingdom of Elam was the treachery of the nobles.

Seeing the kingdom's unfavorable situation, one by one they began to revolt and provide support to the kingdom's alliance.

Among the treacherous nobles, some voluntarily bowed their heads to the royal alliance and began to leak important information as a guarantee for their lives to be forgiven.

There were also nobles who betrayed, in order to protect their territories in order to avoid the disaster of war.

And there were also nobles who from the beginning were indeed dissatisfied with the Kingdom's policy of treating wild tribes as equals, like the others.

Finally, after fighting for a long time, the Magic Kingdom Capital was successfully penetrated. The beautiful land was trampled by the Allied Forces and plundered thoroughly.

The King and Queen were beheaded at the Royal castle by the Royal Paladins of Aria and died there.

The magic knights and Sorcerer who opposed, were all executed.

Not only the royal palace, every citizen's house was looted, then burned. Half of the population of the Elamite kingdom was killed in the war, the rest were taken to the Kingdom of Aria and the Alliance countries as slaves.

The continent's powerful and powerful magic empire crumbled in an instant, their names now recorded in the false histories created by the victors.
