Chapter 364: Abdication

On May 1, 1584, Zhou Rui, the sixty-eight-year-old emperor of the Han and Tang Empires, suddenly announced his abdication and passed the throne directly to the crown prince Zhou Jun.

Zhou Rui left Zhou Jun with a huge empire spanning two worlds, and the total area of the Han and Tang Empires in the Eastern and Western Continents combined was as high as 147.6 million square kilometers, with a population of about 4.1 billion.

In addition, the Han and Tang Empires took advantage of the battle between the Dark Angel Clan and the Bright Angel Clan in the past few years, and sent troops to continuously expand new territories in the Warcraft Forest.

Now, in addition to the approximately 10 million square kilometers of territory occupied by the Totem Alliance in the Warcraft Forest, the entire Warcraft Forest has been owned by the Han and Tang Empires, and the hundreds of millions of Warcraft in the Warcraft Forest have also been wiped out by the Han and Tang armies.

While developing the Warcraft Forest, the Han and Tang Empires also pocketed the ice fields in the north of the original Ice Tide Alliance and the wastelands in the east, more than 60 million square kilometers of land.

This swelled the land area of the Han and Tang Empires in the Continent of the Gods to as much as 269 million square kilometers, with a population of about 1.2 billion, of which more than 450 million were immigrants from the Han and Tang Empires, or descendants of the Han and Tang Empires and locals.

The reason why the population of the Han and Tang Empires in the Eastern and Western Continents declined was because many Han and Tang people, under the extremely generous immigration policy, immigrated to the Continent of the Gods.

Soon after Zhou Jun succeeded to the throne, the Han and Tang Empires brazenly declared war on the Totem Alliance on the grounds that the Totem Alliance army had killed the merchants of the Han and Tang Empires.

The Han and Tang Empire's declaration of war on the Totem Alliance can actually be said to be something that has been planned for a long time.

The orcs of the Continent of the Gods treat humans very cruelly, and there are often slave catchers from the Totem Alliance who enter the territory of humans to capture humans and bring them back to the Totem Alliance as slaves, and even the orcs of some races still regard humans as food.

Even after the Han and Tang Empires annexed the Star and Moon Alliance, the Red Flame Alliance, the Ice Tide Alliance, the Cloud Dusk Alliance, and the Phantom Alliance, the slave catchers of the Totem Alliance would often appear in the territory of the Han and Tang Empires.

Zhou Rui had long wanted to completely wipe out the Totem Alliance from the Continent of the Gods, and the reason why he didn't do it was to leave it to the newly enthroned Zhou Jun.

In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Jun said to more than a dozen marshals of the Han and Tang Empire's military: "This time, our Han and Tang Empire will attack the Totem Alliance, not only will the army and air force participate, but the navy will not stay out of the matter this time. ”

Wang Kui, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, immediately said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our Royal Navy has already entered the magical world with three main fleets, and it can cooperate with the Royal Army to land on the eastern coast of the Totem Alliance at any time. ”

In order to facilitate the control of the Han and Tang Empire's huge territory in the Continent of the Gods, the Han and Tang Empires used mercury to convert a number of one-way space magic doors into two-way space magic doors.

Among them, there is a two-way space magic gate close to the sea, because the two worlds have dug more than ten kilometers of artificial canals, which can already allow any warship of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires to shuttle between the two worlds.

Zhou Jun's tone then became a little gloomy, "The orcs of the Totem Alliance, how they treat the people of the empire, I think you should all know very well.

Although I am not a person who loves to kill, I have to raise my butcher's knife in the face of those beasts.

I don't need captives for this war, and the empire doesn't need people of any race other than humans. ”

Huang Zhigang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the orcs of the Totem Alliance are more than 1 billion, so they can't all be killed, right?" ”

Zhou Jun waved his hand, "How to solve the 1 billion beast people, you study it yourself, anyway, in the territory of the empire, I don't allow a beast ...... There is an orc of the Totem Alliance. ”

When Zhou Jun was halfway through speaking, he suddenly remembered that in his father's harem, there were many concubines of the fox clan, rabbit clan and cat clan, and it was a bit too full to say that there was not a single orc in the territory of the Han and Tang Empires.

After more than a dozen marshals of the Han and Tang Empire's military left the palace, they couldn't help but get together to discuss the tasks assigned to them by the emperor.

Huang Zhigang, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force, asked Xiang Tao, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army: "Old Xiang, what do you think we should do?" ”

Xiang Tao, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, said indifferently: "Actually, there is no need to discuss at all, the emperor's meaning is obvious, let's kill all the orcs of the Totem Alliance." ”

Huang Zhigang said with a wry smile: "But there are also old and young women and children among the orcs, we can't really kill all the more than 1 billion orcs, right?" ”

Xiang Tao shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you can't do it, then move the old and young women and children among the orcs out of the Continent of the Gods, anyway, the Royal Navy has not discovered many islands outside the Continent of the Gods!" ”

Wang Kui, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, immediately touched his chin and said, "When Lao Xiang said this, I think there is an island that is very suitable.

The island is very large, probably millions of square kilometers, but the environment is very harsh, there are either swamps or deserts on it, and the number of magical beasts on the island is also very large. ”

Huang Zhigang nodded and said, "That's fine, let the remaining orcs fend for themselves on that big island!" ”

Xiang Tao said with a smile at this time: "Isn't it a little early for us to discuss this?"

The army of the Totem Alliance, although it belongs to the cold weapon force, is not weak in combat effectiveness, not to mention that behind the Totem Alliance, there is also the Dark Angel Clan. ”

Song Shenghe, deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, immediately said: "This time to launch an attack on the Totem Alliance, the Special Operations Division will assist our Royal Army in dealing with the Dark Angel Clan and the ninth-level professionals of the Totem Alliance.

As far as I know, the Special Operations Division now has hundreds of ninth-level professionals, even if the Totem Alliance has the support of the Dark Angels, according to the information of the Royal Intelligence Agency, the total number of Dark Angels seems to be less than 40. ”

In the palace of Moe City, the capital of the Totem Alliance, Emperor Nisol Josia said to the Dark Angel Grand Commander Sachka with an anxious face: "Your Excellency Sachka, this Han and Tang Empire's invasion of our Totem Alliance is obviously a long-planned plan.

In the face of the unbelievably powerful weapons of the Han and Tang armies, I am worried that the army of our Totem Alliance will not be able to resist it. ”

The Dark Angel Grand Commander Sachka said calmly: "Since the people of the Totem Alliance believe in our Dark Angel Clan, our Dark Angel Clan will not sit idly by and ignore the Han and Tang Empire's invasion of the Totem Alliance this time.

We, the Dark Angels, will assist the forces of the Totem Alliance against the invading forces of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

In the past few years, the battle between the Dark Angel Clan and the Light Angel Clan has caused the Dark Angel Clan to lose 2 more real Dark Angels, but these 2 Dark Angels were not killed directly on the battlefield.

The two Dark Angels both found that their injuries could not be healed, and finally released their original power and transformed many vassal Dark Angels before they died.

In the battle with the Light Angel Clan, the Dark Angel Clan's vassal Dark Angel also lost 9, but relying on the sacrifice of those 2 Dark Angels, the Dark Angel Clan still has 22 vassal Dark Angels.

In addition, there is a black dragon with a ninth-level peak strength, which was also killed in the battle of the Bright Angel clan, so now the Dark Angel clan also has 15 real dark angels, 22 vassal dark angels, and 9 black dragons with ninth-level peak strength.

It is precisely because of the strength of the Dark Angel Clan that the Totem Alliance has had to follow the wishes of the Dark Angel Clan in the past few years, and has been fighting with the Forest Alliance of the Elf Clan and the Rock Alliance of the Dwarf Clan, and has watched the power of the Han and Tang Empires in the Continent of the Gods become more and more huge.

In this regard, the emperor of the Totem Alliance, Nisol Josiah, is very complaining about the Dark Angel Clan, if the Dark Angel Clan is willing to help the Totem Alliance deal with the Han and Tang Empire earlier, it will not let the Han and Tang armies enter the territory of the Totem Alliance.

Emperor Nisol Josia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, "With the help of the Great Dark Angel Clan, our Totem Alliance will definitely be able to defeat the invading army of the Han and Tang Empires." ”

On July 25, 1584, a major battle broke out between the Han and Tang armies and the troops of the Totem Alliance on the fertile plains within the territory of the Totem Alliance.

In this battle, the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires sent 36 group armies and 130 garrison divisions, while the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires had 42 air divisions participating in the battle.

In terms of the Totem Alliance, more than 800,000 powerful troops have gathered, more than 8 million main battle troops have gathered, and more than 10 million auxiliary troops have been mobilized.

The 15 Dark Angels, 22 vassal Dark Angels and 9 Black Dragons of the Dark Angel Clan, as well as the 14 ninth-level professionals of the Totem Alliance, were also present, and this battle in the Fertile Plains could even be seen as a decisive battle between the two sides.

However, this war became a one-sided situation from the beginning, and under the attack of the modern weapons of the Han and Tang armies, the Totem Alliance was almost powerless to fight back.

The only one who could pose a great threat to the Han and Tang Dynasty armies was the Dark Angel Clan and the 14 ninth-level professionals of the Totem Alliance, but they were beaten by many ninth-level professionals in the Special Operations Department of the Han and Tang Empires.

In recent years, Zhou Rui has prescribed many super-grade physical fitness enhancement potions from the lottery system, which has also added many ninth-level professionals to the Special Operations Department of the Han and Tang Empires.

Now not counting the hundreds of ninth-level warriors of the Royal Internal Guard, the Special Operations Division alone has more than 400 ninth-level warriors and more than 150 ninth-level magicians.

In the end, at the cost of 23 ninth-level warriors and 9 ninth-level magicians, the Special Operations Division killed 5 real dark angels, 15 vassal dark angels, 5 black dragons, and 9 ninth-level professionals of the Totem Alliance.

After the defeat of the top combat power, the army of the Totem Alliance staged a crazy rout.

In order to escape for their lives, many orc soldiers began to kill each other on the way to the rout, coupled with the pursuit of the Han and Tang armies, and finally gathered in the Totem Alliance army in the Fertile Plains, and there was not one in ten who could escape.

The Emperor of the Totem Alliance, Nisso Josiah, asked the High Priest Terta Katiti in disbelief, "High Priest, how can we be defeated?"

With more than 800,000 powerful troops, more than 8 million main combat troops, more than 10 million auxiliary troops, and the help of the Dark Angels, how could they be defeated? ”

The High Priest Terta Katitei also took part in the battle of the Plains of Plenty, and was also wounded, and the face of the High Priest Terta Katitei was still very pale.

High Priest Terta Katiteyi said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, although our Totem Alliance has also fought with the Han and Tang Empires a few times, we still have a low assessment of the strength of the Han and Tang Empires.

It wasn't a battle at all, it was simply a massacre, and the warriors of our Totem Alliance, before they even saw the shadow of the Han and Tang armies, suffered wave after wave of attacks.

Moreover, the Han and Tang Empires also hid the number of their ninth-level professionals, this time the Han and Tang Empires suddenly sent hundreds of ninth-level professionals, and it was a great luck that the ministers and the four Venerables of the Holy Land were able to escape back.

The Dark Angel Clan lost more than half of the Dark Angels this time, and 5 black dragons with ninth-level peak strength were also killed. ”

Emperor Nisol Josia suddenly became a little depressed, "It's over, it's all over."

High Priest, what now? ”

High Priest Terta Katiteyi sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you can only sue for peace with the Han and Tang Empires, no matter how harsh the conditions of the Han and Tang Empires are, our Totem Alliance must also agree this time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

In a garden in the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhou Rui, who had been promoted to the rank of Emperor Taishang, was practicing a set of boxing techniques.

Zhou Rui, who may be limited by his qualifications, has swallowed 4 bottles of super-grade physical fitness enhancement elixirs, and his cultivation has only reached the level of the Great Grandmaster Martial Artist, and the Great Grandmaster Martial Artist is only equivalent to a seventh-level warrior in the Continent of the Gods.

When Zhou Rui took the fourth bottle of super-grade physical fitness enhancement potion, it was already like drinking plain water, and it had no effect on Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui knew that unless he could prescribe a potion stronger than a super-grade physical fitness enhancement potion from the lottery system in the future, his cultivation would be fixed at the level of a great grandmaster martial artist.

Now Zhou Rui continues to practice martial arts every day, more to maintain and exercise his body.

Emperor Zhou Jun saw that Zhou Rui had finished practicing boxing, and hurriedly stepped forward and handed Zhou Rui a towel.

Zhou Rui took the towel and asked while wiping his hands, "How is the war against the Totem Alliance?" ”

Emperor Zhou Jun hurriedly said: "Father, our Han and Tang Dynasty army has defeated the main force of the Totem Alliance in the Fertile Plain, and the Special Operations Department has also killed a full 20 Dark Angels, 5 Black Dragons, and 9 ninth-level professionals of the Totem Alliance in this battle.

The Totem Alliance has sent an envoy to sue for peace with our Han and Tang Empires. ”

After Zhou Rui finished wiping his hands, he handed the towel to Emperor Zhou Jun, "If it is not my race, its heart will be different."

Take this opportunity to completely solve the Totem Alliance!

I left the Totem Alliance to you just so that you can use the Totem Alliance to establish your authority. ”

"Father, don't worry, I know what to do."
