At some point, a cold white mist blew up in the city. It was so cold that it froze every enemy who entered the city, turning them into motionless ice sculptures.
Heavy snow fell from the sky like goose feathers, blocking the view and drifting into this magnificent city.
Whether it was bloodstains, corpses, burn marks on the city walls, incomplete fairy patterns, beautiful buildings, etc., everything was covered by the white snow.
Long, transparent icicles slowly formed under the eaves, and bone-chilling water droplets slowly dripped down, splashing solidified ice flowers on the ground.
As more and more people froze to death, the coalition forces from the West and North finally realized something was wrong. They began to send out retreat signals and asked the soldiers who had entered the city to withdraw.
Unfortunately, such signals received no response in the white snow fog. The soldiers who entered the city seemed to have entered another world and never came out again.
Seeing this, the lords and officers frowned more and more. There were so many soldiers entering the city, but not a single one came out. What on earth was going on in there?
Some transcendents began to rush into the sky above the city to search, but these Sequence 6 and even Sequence 7 transcendents never returned, disappearing in the diffuse white snow fog.
This scene finally dissuaded everyone from going in to spy, and they had to stop under the magnificent city wall again, looking at Titaneya from afar through the snow and fog.
In the Third Age, at the end of 1710, the Duke of Griffin and the Duke of Raven led their army to attack the imperial capital of Titaneia. When the coalition forces entered the city, Emperor Elio disappeared. Afterwards, the entire city was shrouded in snow-white ice fog, becoming an isolated world.
All the soldiers and extraordinary people who entered the city to spy were swallowed up by the white ice fog and disappeared.
In the following months and even years, various forces and organizations tried to find out what happened in Tittanya, but unfortunately there was no result.
Afterward, Titaneia, a vast city with a population of millions, was wiped off the map. No one ever left, and it became a forbidden place of death for all factions. Later scholars would refer to this event as the "Tragedy of Titaneia."
After learning of this, many nobles and people in the central part of the empire denounced the Duke of Griffin and the Duke of Raven, believing that they had forced the emperor to death, causing the empire to become extinct and the bloodline to be cut off.
At this point, the Duke of Unicorn in the East, in conjunction with the Emerald Forest, also issued letters and announcements of condemnation, and began to summon the lords of the empire to march towards the center of the empire.
Upon hearing the news, the lords and people in the central region launched rebellions in response to the actions of the Duke of Unicorn and the forest elves.
The two coalition forces, whose ruling foundation was unstable, had to retreat step by step in the battle and were gradually driven back to their original fiefdoms by the forest elves and the army of the East.
Because food was already scarce, the Northern Alliance had to negotiate peace with the Unicorn Duke and the Elf Queen after losing the central land, and vowed that within 100 years, no member of the Trey family would leave the northern fiefdom.
Elon Trey was disinherited and Farxiner Trey was expelled from the family.
However, the Salus family did not surrender. Under its powerful appeal, the lords of the western border once again organized a large army to fight against the coalition forces of the Unicorn Duke and the Forest Elves.
Although they did not achieve a complete victory, they gradually took over some land, gained a breathing space, and turned the situation around partially.
The war reached a stalemate, and the imperial family of the empire was no longer there. Many problems remained unresolved. Both sides entered a brief truce and began to search for any surviving imperial bloodline.
In the summer of the following year, the knights of the Salus family first discovered the twin princesses, Evelyn and Teslin, who had been missing for several years, the two reclusive twin sisters.
After gaining a valuable advantage, the Duke of Griffin announced that he would support the two princesses as queens of the empire, admitted his past mistakes, and swore an oath by the Blue Stream River to be forever loyal to the imperial family and never betray again.
To show their sincerity, the Western Alliance voluntarily withdrew the occupied central provinces and returned them to the imperial family. On the way to escort the two princesses back to the empire, they also presented a large amount of wealth as compensation for the royal family's use.
The Unicorn Duke, lacking royal blood, was in a difficult position. If he continued to occupy the center of the empire, it would be a violation of his previous oath. In the end, he was forced to gradually withdraw from the central provinces with the forest elves' army.
Just when everyone thought that the Griffin family had finally won the civil war, an accident occurred on the way the two princesses were returning to the center of the empire.
An assassin broke into the convoy and kidnapped a princess in the chaos. No one knew who he was. Some said it was Dark Moon of the Empire, but others said his methods and fighting style were different from those of Dark Moon of the Empire.
Two months later, the princess reappeared in the East, and the Duke of Unicorn and the Forest Elves welcomed her as the new queen of the empire.
Thus, at the same time, the empire had two queens, and two new capitals were established in the center of the empire with them as the center.
These two cities are close to the west and east borders respectively. They ascended the throne on the same day and became the nominal new masters of this country.
Shortly after ascending the throne, the Duke of Griffin announced the engagement of his son, Jerran, and Queen Teslin. At the same time, the coat of arms of the Griffin family was changed, with a white rose pattern surrounding the original griffin.
After hearing the news, the Duke of Unicorn was not willing to be left behind. Soon, another queen, Evelyn, was engaged to a descendant of the Landsworthy family. The original unicorn emblem was also changed to an elegant unicorn surrounded by red roses to show its unity with the royal family.
At this point, the empire once again entered an era of twin emperors' rule, with the eastern and western capitals standing far apart from each other. Many nobles surrounded the two empresses, forming a new imperial structure and system.
This also symbolizes that the "Rose War" that lasted for several years in the empire has finally come to an end. Although everything is in ruins, lives are lost, and people's hearts are changing, this devastated country has finally entered a rare peace.
However, can the twins, who are not together and cannot sense each other's feelings, still glue this broken empire together? What will be the final outcome of the empire?
Our wise girl is still sleeping in.
