Kingdom of Liones

The Kingdom of Liones is a nation that features in The Seven Deadly Sins.

History

The Kingdom of Liones (Japanese: リオネス, Hepburn: Rionesu) was a human nation that formed in the lands of Britannia.

Ten years ago, the Seven Deadly Sins came to be framed by the Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Liones. At this time, King Liones came to believe that this heralded the coming of a new Holy War and ordered all his knights to lay down their swords in order to prevent this prophesised event. However, the Holy Knights believed that the coming war was inevitable and that their duty was the protection of the kingdom. Thus, they had the king captured whilst the Great Holy Knights Hendrickson and Dreyfus assumed command of the kingdom. Under their command, they began to enslave the people of Liones and forcing the citizens to participate in military measures that they justified as being for their own protection. Three of the Seven Deadly Sins - Meliodas, Ban, and Gowther - attempted to invade the Kingdom of Liones in order to rescue Elizabeth who was kidnapped. During their attack, an army from Camelot approaches Liones with their new king, Arthur. Hendrickson's Magic Research Facility building was completely destroyed during a battle between Diane and Dreyfus' Holy Knights. Battles between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Holy Knights have caused significant destruction to all parts of the kingdom, forcing the regular knights to evacuate the citizens away from the battle as they could. The Deadly Sins and Holy Knight later join forces to stop Hendrickson and free Bartra and Elizabeth. After freeing them, Dreyfus was stripped of his rank due to his crime and Bartra was taken to Camelot for treatment as he was ill. But Hendrickson, after recovering from defeat, appeared by destroying a large section of the castle and awakened the New Generation's demon blood, turning them into Demons themselves, and began a rampage within the capital of Liones and its people, catching the Holy Knights and knights off guard. Various skirmishes broke out in the entire capital as the Holy Knights and knights immediately fought the Demons who were once their comrades but suffered heavy losses in the ensuing chaos to which Gustaf called it like hell.

Throughout the chaotic battles between men and demons, the entire civilian population were evacuated by groups of Holy Knights while their comrades fought against the Demons together with the Seven Deadly Sins. After the kingdom was freed from Hendrickson, the people of Liones slowly rebuild the kingdom and the Holy Knights went back to normal. When the Ten Commandments begin their conquest of Britannia, they eventually invade Liones after several months. When the Holy Knights are unable to stop them or evacuate the royal family, the intervention of the Sins Meliodas, Escanor and Merlin gets that the Commandments are expelled from the kingdom, two of them being definitely defeated. The kingdom suffers several damages, mainly the castle that is destroyed completely. However, Merlin manages to repair everything by herself in one night. Several civilians and knights fell victims to the Piety commandment and moved to Camelot as servants of the Demons. After these are released and returned to the kingdom by the Seven Deadly Sins. When the Holy War against the Demon Clan finally takes place, Liones forms an alliance with the Four Archangels to be part of Stigma and fight against the demons. Liones becomes the headquarters of the allied forces. When the forces are divided for the confrontation, a group of Holy Knights, the Defensive Force, is designated to protect the kingdom in each entrance.
