The **Lord's Grand Army** (Latin: **Domini Magni Exercitus**), also known simply as the **LGA**, were the armed forces of the Holy Empire of Bovido Has between November 1809 and April 2020. The organisation was formally led by the Bovido emperor, although *de-facto* realities meant that the office of archbishop wielded more influence and power within the army. Day-to-day operations were delegated to a designated Major General, the highest rank within the ground forces.

As an extension of the power of the central state, the Lord's Grand Army was formally loyal to the office of emperor, the *de-jure* leader of the nation, meaning that the holder of the office of emperor was the commander-in-chief of the Bovido armed forces. However, as the leader of the Bovido Has Grand Council, the archbishop was traditionally the *de-facto* controller of the armed forces; during the Purba Revolution in the 1980s, Hagreev Buller was placed as emperor in order to ensure the loyalty of the main armed forces. By the 21st century, the role of Chairman of the Grand Council had evolved and was the most senior armed forces leader - the first holder of the title, Justus Obadiah, would ultimately defect from the LGA, bringing thousands of soldiers with him and crippling the army capabilities of the Bovido Hassian armed forces, necessitating the creation of the Lord's Holy Army in 2020.

The Lord's Grand Army was a fanatical and devoted armed forces, dedicated in subservience to the Faith and the Holy Clergy, and saw numerous deployments during the organisation's 211 year existence; the Lord's Grand Army was particularly crucial during the Bovido Invasion of Asia, the 1938 Libirachi-Bovido Boarder Skirmishes, the 1956 Vladivostok Protests and the Purba Revolution, in which the armed forces were used to expand the Bovido Hassian empire and instil order across the nation. The army also had regional branches, such as the Russia Has Defence Force in the province of Russia Has.

## Bovido Hassian Armed Forces

### History

Founded on November 5 1809, the Army of the Lord was created as the primary defence force of the isolated island nation of Bovido Has. Under the watchful eye of the then-leader Ismachiah Joash, the AoL consolidated the Templar's rule over the island of Belitung and lead the charge in the 1st Great Bovido Hassian Crusade, in which an estimated 5,000 Muslims were executed or killed by AoL soldiers. Under the new Bovido government formed by Omar Joash following the death of Ismachiah in 1817, the AoL began to expand and was renamed the Grand Hassian Army in 1845. Upon the death of Joash's successor, the GHA began to see action as Nicholas Ujung seized power across the pacific islands, and became a dominant force in the nation, as the GHA High Command had the right to appoint the Emperor of Bovido Has, whilst the clergy appointed the Archbishop. After an incident in August 1917 where the Grand Hassian Army directly disobeyed the Archbishop, Canaan Ujung, the role of the army was greatly reduced in a sweeping reform enacted on December 25 1917, which meant that the right to appoint the Emperor was stripped away, whist the GHA was renamed as the Lords Grand Army in reference to the religious nature of Bovido Has. The role of the LGA began to rise again under the premiership of Micheal Ezra, and under the rule of Hazael Buller, the LGA once again became one of the most powerful organisations in the nation. However, with the assasination of Buller in 2020, Bovido Has plummeted into chaos and the de-facto Supreme Commander of the Lord's Grand Army, Justus Obadiah, took the opportunity to gain power and defected from the Bovido alongside the majority of the LGA, crippling Bovido Has' authority and implementing the Fall of Bovido. The new nation of Obadiah Has quickly became a rival to Bovido Has, and using the LGA (now re-branded as the Lord's Imperial Army) began to seize Bovido territory during theHas Wars. Requiring a new army to fight the Obadiah forces, Omar Jude formed the Lord's Holy Army from the remnants of the LGA and with assistance for other allied countries to fight off The Libirachi Empire, Obadiah Has and the Persian Republic

## Praelium

As the main land force of the Lord's Grand Army, the Praelium was led by a duumvirate of major generals who would report directly to the Bovido Has Grand Council and it's chairman on matters of ground army affairs. The Praelium was made up of conscripts from across the Bovido Hassian empire and the division was famed for both it's efficiency in island-hopping warfare and it's notorious penchant for acts of brutality and war crimes. There were numerous divisions of the Praelium which operated in various different conditions and served different functions. In 2020, both major generals of the Praelium defected to the state of Obadiah Has alongside thousands of soldiers, effectively ending the operational capacity of the Lord's Grand Army in the process
