章 4: Only darkness where there was light
The political, economic and social situation of the Clover Kingdom was in tatters... to say the least. The battle against the elves left too much damage in the most affected areas, with hundreds of thousands of deaths among the civilian population and the loss of a huge number of magicians in the resulting crossfire was greater than expected.
The distrust between the orders had grown to a complete breaking point, where it seemed that the kingdom would divide and break apart without remedy.
This scenario was not the most suitable for the new Wizard King: Vermillion Lionfire.
The most respected and feared man in the kingdom had inherited a disaster that unfortunately would not be fixed in the short term. Many villages in the Forgotten Region were dying due to lack of resources. At the same time, insecurity grew to unexpected levels. Bandits, rapists and looters were the daily bread for the citizens of the Clover Kingdom.
But what about the orders? Simple, their hands were tied.
The order of Golden Dawn was in limbo regarding its command after the revelation of the identity of Captain William Vangeance as one of the indirect perpetrators of the catastrophe that arose. The Silver Aquilas, Crimson Lions and Purple Orcas remained in constant surveillance of the capital without being able to help the common people beyond the limits of the capital.
King Kira and Judge Damnattio had been in charge of suppressing any type of rebellion against their designs, the dismissal of the captain of the Purple Orcas Kaiser was one of these measures. He even threatened with the dissolution of the most important orders.
Everything felt worse, the nobility more freely than before committed crimes against the commoners with a macabre regularity, worse was that King Kira, no matter how much they begged for his help, he only turned a deaf ear to their pleas. .
In a short time the situation became total chaos, and the political balance had only worsened. The city of Kitten was conquered by the Diamond Kingdom after two weeks of long fighting against Kitten's exhausted defenses.
The activity on the border with Pica was increasing, with towns destroyed, with men destroyed and torn, with women raped and mutilated along with unburied dead children and infants. The results of the skirmishes were horrible.
All for one simple reason: The light of change that a young commoner without magic had had faded, the last legacy of Julius Novachrono that he left in this world. The commoner Asta was gone and his path that was to lead Shamrock on a better path had been lost along with him.
But the worst part was borne by the members of the order of the Black Bulls, they had fallen into disgrace again after having reached the top after the arrival of the Ashen. The order only received missions where they always resulted in failure for it and its prestige was tarnished.
Escort or protection missions lately notified to see the results of people or entire towns murdered with hardly any power to act. Cargo transport missions where resources were trapped and looted. Repair missions to places in full reconstruction, only to receive a minimum amount of the materials needed for the assigned tasks. All of this brought this order back to the bottom of the list.
Today it accumulated more than 135 black stars, all of which had no reason to exist and the few times they managed to accomplish their tasks they were not rewarded.
The reality was that. But why so much cruelty? Simple, the Black Bulls represented the opportunity for the marginalized and separated from society to have a place to stand out, a place where the useless could live together, a place where the idea of Equality existed, a place where Julius' dream. .. He was still alive.
He will continue...
