## History

### Full Independence

After the Great War ended, Rufus was arrested for his actions during the conflict, and Magistrate Ricardo Hendrick became the new Chancellor of Erebonia after Gilliath Osborne's death. He announced that Erebonia agreed to Calvard's demand for astronomical indemnities for Erebonia's reckless declaration of war, which were paid from the royal family, Sector Industries Reinford Group, and Ten Great Houses. The Imperial Defense Force personnel that remained in Crossbell were ordered to stand down; however, the Defense Force refused to comply with Hendrick or Rufus' orders to stand down, as they were unsatisfied with the war's swift end and reparations to Calvard.

In S.1207, Class VII, Special Operation Division, Special Support Section Cross Integral Union, and Crossbell Guardian Force launched a coordinated attack on the remnants, with the SSS defeating their leaders on the top of Orchis Tower and their secret weapon. The leaders surrendered after their weapon was destroyed, and the other forces quickly followed suit. With the backing of the Septian Church, Crossbell was able to gain independence. Although it was still an Erebonian province at this time, the Imperial government granted it a degree of autonomy that essentially amounted to a de facto end of the occupation.

Crossbell's Independence, however, was delayed due to several incidents and the chaos caused by the Ultranationalist, agents of Gundanina Federation of the Continent of Corasant and Westalis Nation's Albion Empire from the Continent of Corasant launching a massive invasion into Zemuria Continent, invading Erebonia and Liberl, and successfully annexing Riverbourgh and decisively achieving victory over their rival, the Gundania Federation, resulting in the Federation's downfall and the start of the Zemuria-Corasant War as one biggest conflict during the Warring Contention. The Albion Empire successfully conquered Liberl and most of Erebonia due to massive military and advanced technology far outclassing Erebonia and the other nations in Zemuria. The Albion Empire prepared for complete domination over Zemuria; however, Chancellor Hendrick established Crossbell as a massive stronghold to impede the Albion Empire's domination. Eventually, the tide of the war turned, and with the help of Class VII, Special Support Section, and Liberlian Bracer Guild, Erebonia and Liberl were freed from the Albion Empire's Control, and eventually, an alliance was formed between the countries in Zemuria to launch a counterattack onto the Corasant and aid the Cross Integral Union in freeing Gundania from the Albion Empire's control, achieving victory over the Albion Empire and surrender and announce the end of the Warring Contention.

Afterward, Chancellor Hendrick announced that Crossbell's will formally declared independence in March S.1208 which came to fruition with Jonathan Wilburn elected and appointed as the Governor of Crossbell as Head of Crossbell State underwent significant economics growth afterwards.
