The Fall Of Placidia (1)
Twenty years before Archer was born.
[Travunia Kingdom - West Placidia]
In a far-off continent to the west known as Placidia, kingdoms were ablaze and people were suffering as massive battles raged across the land.
As the king fought on the frontline against the Ghouls that emerged from the underway, a nobleman approached him.
"Maxith, you must retreat to the capital with the royal guard. We will hold them back."
The creatures wielded shoddy yet powerful weapons, firing unknown magic into the ranks of men.
The king looked back at the Duke and sighed before speaking.
"Yohan, I will not retreat. If we leave here, they will get us in the capital, just like they did to the Lurris and Oland royal families."
He quickly dispatched one of the creatures that approached him before turning back to Yohan.
