00:01The Crusaders of Shadow
00:04Trey Novel's Allegory Chronicles
00:08Now when holy war became theater, as the medieval times deepened, Europe shook under the weight
00:15of fear, famine, plague, and superstition. Kings grasped for legitimacy, priests grasped
00:23for authority, empires grasped for territory. Into this turmoil came a call.
00:30Echoing from Rome, wrapped in piety, bathed in the language of salvation. Take up the cross,
00:37march to the east, free the holy land. But the children of light saw what most could not.
00:43The call was not entirely from heaven. Shadows had learned to speak in sacred tones within the
00:50halls of power, behind veils of incense and gilded altars. The Anunnaki remnant whispered,
00:56war in God's name is the noblest war of all. Bloodshed becomes holy if the banner is right.
01:04Conquest can be sanctified if priests bless the swords. And so an army rose, not of light,
01:11but of confused mortals bearing holy symbols and shadow-shaped motives. Europe called them
01:17crusaders. Heaven called them something else. The Crusaders of Shadow.
01:24The shadow behind the cross. The first crusade erupted like wildfire. Commoners sold their homes.
01:32Knights dunned armor they could barely afford. Lords sought glory, land, and absolution.
01:37But beneath the spiritual fervor moved the same ancient force that had animated Vlad's ruthlessness,
01:43Rome's corruption, and the empires of rehab. Control through fear, order through blood, victory through
01:50terror. The Anunnaki did not need to command armies from the skies anymore. They only needed to steer the
01:57ambitions of human hearts. Already leaning toward conquest and so, towns were burned for righteousness,
02:03thousands slaughtered for purity, lands seized for God, cultures erased for justice. It was the old
02:11dragon's method with new branding. The soldiers of Christ marching like the armies of rehab.
02:27A siege of light and shadow. When crusaders reached the walls of Antioch,
02:33the children of light watched as the battle unfolded not only on earth. But in the unseen realm,
02:39angels braced as prayers rose from the terrified. Shadows gathered as blood stained the soil.
02:45The city became a battlefield of two worlds. Some crusaders marched with pure hearts seeking
02:51deliverance, seeking forgiveness, seeking righteousness. Others marched with greed, pride,
02:57or vengeance. Their swords guided by the same dragon logic that shaped tyrants across history.
03:04The clash revealed the truth. In holy wars, light and shadow march side by side. But only one truly leads.
03:12I.V. the children of shadow and armor. As crusades multiplied, the Anunnaki influence deepened.
03:19Certain knights, those hungry for power, those who delighted in spectacle, those who found glory and
03:24suffering, became the perfect vessels for shadow's will. These were the ones who burned villages without
03:31command. Who executed prisoners as examples. Who believed fear was proof of divine favor. Their armor
03:38bore crosses. Their helmets bore plumes. Their souls bore the dragon's mark. The children of light would
03:44later write. They carried the cross on their chest. But the dragon on their heart.
03:53The orders of light. Orders of night. Not all orders born of the crusades serve the same master. Some were
04:02sincere flame bearers. The knights hospitaller. The guardians of pilgrims. The monks who heal the sick.
04:08The scribes who preserve scripture. Even as cities fell. These were the children of light and armor.
04:15But others. The ambitious. The secretive. The ones who loved bloodshed too much.
04:23Became crucibles for the old shadow. Orders that hoarded relics for power. Orders that
04:29assassinated rivals. Orders that claimed visions of destiny to justify political control. These were
04:36the orders of night. Descendants in spirit of the Anunnaki war schools. The crusades had birthed both saints
04:43and monsters.
04:54The city between two realm. When Jerusalem finally fell to the crusaders. The earth shook with human triumph.
05:05But heaven grieved. For the holy city was won not by light. But by a storm of steel and rage.
05:14Streets ran red. Sanctuaries turned into slaughterhouses. Prayers were drowned by death cries.
05:22The dragon shadow stretched across the walls that prophets once walked. And the children of light
05:28whispered victory. That smells of blood is not victory of the father. Yet even here. The light did not
05:38retreat. In hidden corners of the city. The humble. The broken. The repentant. Knelt and wept. And heaven
05:46recorded their tears as the true reclaiming of the land.
05:53When crusades turned on themselves. The Anunnaki influence did not stop at the holy land.
06:01Shadows engineered the fourth crusade. A crusade that never reached Jerusalem instead.
06:07Crusaders attacked Christians. Raided Byzantine cities. And sacked Constantinople in one of history's darkest
06:15betrayals. The children of shadow rejoiced. Why battle your enemies. When your allies are so easily
06:22manipulated. It was the perfect strategy. From rehab. To Rome. To Jerusalem. Turn brother against brother. In the name of
06:36righteousness. Beat what the crusaders left behind. When the crusades finally collapsed under their own
06:42contradictions. Tombs filled the holy land. Europe was drained and fractured. Orders disbanded or went
06:50underground. Trade routes shifted. Knowledge passed unexpectedly between cultures. New ideas germinated in
06:58the ashes of war. The crusades did not bring salvation. They brought an awakening. Humanity looked at
07:05the ruins and began to question. The motives of kings. The purity of institutions. The validity of
07:11violence done for God. This questioning became the first cracks. In the mid evil darkness from these cracks
07:19would one day burst. The renaissance of light. I what the children of light remember. The children of light.
07:31Do not erase the crusaders. From the chronicles of faith. They honor the sincere. They mourn the misled.
07:38They expose the corrupted. And they teach this truth. When men fight for God. Without listening to God.
07:44They do the dragon's work. While believing they serve heaven. The crusades became a mirror held to mankind.
07:50Revealing that. Light can be imitated. Faith can be weaponized. And good intentions can be steered by the
08:00oldest shadow in creation. But heaven was not done. History was not over. The dragon had not won. The mid
08:08evil
08:09times were still unfolding in the next chapter. Would bring a dawn. The shadows could not prevent.
