Chapter 296: The War Begins
The sky cleared, the sun shone brightly, and the divine power of the Mother of Dragons finally turned into countless bits of starlight and dissipated, and the terrifying coercion that almost suffocated all living beings finally dissipated.
As a result, this founding ceremony ended perfectly under the successive "patronage" of the two gods, and became a topic of conversation on the streets and alleys after tea and dinner.
After all, the gods are not visible to everyone, and in Elbaf, even if the king ascends the throne, it is usually only a sacred ceremony performed by the archbishop of a certain church, representing the divine right to grant royal power.
Therefore, the king of the dragon can be said to be out of the limelight this time, and the unprecedented military parade not only attracted the gods to come in person, but this guy even dared to fight with the gods and refuse the electorate that the five-colored dragon queen personally promised.
In this world of theocracy, Izawa has been ruined, and the reputation of the Dragon King has skyrocketed again throughout the Northlands, and in terms of status, it has overwhelmed the kings of the Northlands.
And the Red Dragon Clan also dragged it one by one as if it was two hundred and fifty eighty thousand, especially those clergy, as soon as they saw the Red Dragon Legion patrolling the street, they hurriedly avoided it, for fear of annoying these guys and demolishing the temple where they believed in gods, and they couldn't afford this kind of consequence.
At the same time, rumors began to circulate that the Dragon King was about to wage war in order to unify the Northlands.
For a time, the situation in the entire Northland became tense, and the Northland Alliance always controlled public opinion and banned related trade.
For this day, the Northland Alliance has been preparing for nearly nine years, although the army strength is still not comparable to the Dragon Empire in the frontal battlefield, but their domestic development in all aspects is much faster.
In the past nine years, a large number of talents have been cultivated and occupied high positions in various positions.
All kinds of strategic materials in the country were also sent to the front line, and towering walls, passes, fortresses, and fortresses were built on the border, blocking the crossroads of the Longteng Empire's northward invasion from all directions.
The high-level rulers spread the threat theory of the Dragon Empire, whose founding emperor, Ize Targaryen, was portrayed as a tyrant in the truest sense of the word, and the Red Dragon Legion was reduced to an army as evil as the devils in hell.
They are brutal and inhumane, feed on humans, kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil.
Under this kind of malicious propaganda, naturally no one wants the Northland countries to be ruled by the Red Dragon Legion and reduced to purgatory.
On the other hand, the rulers of the Northlands also took full advantage of the incident of Izze Targaryen the Great smashing the temple of the God of Shadows, and secretly spent a lot of money to support the followers of the God of Shadows to retaliate against the Dragon Empire.
Thieves and killers did cause chaos in the Dragon Empire's society to a certain extent, but since the Darkscales took over the investigation, countless thieves have been caught by the Drow Elves from the darkness.
Then he took out several large cult gangs of the God of Shadows.
In addition, the Dragon Empire also introduced the "reward for reporting" ordinance, which greatly improved the enthusiasm of the people.
For a time, those restless elements who tried to make trouble in the Dragon Empire were trembling, so this turmoil gradually turned into a big thing and a small thing.
Occasionally, there would be a case of burglary, but it would never be able to make more waves on the vast ocean of the Dragon Empire.
In the international situation, for the sake of the common enemy, the countries of the Northland put aside their prejudices, put aside new and old hatreds, and formed an alliance with the outside world, and the kings of various countries obviously will not hand over the ruling power to the dragon king so easily, and are ready to fight to the death.
Three months later, a gnolf patrolling the border was shot with a bow and arrow by human soldiers, and the Dragon Palace was "furious", and more than a dozen battle orders were immediately passed to the ears of the various clan leaders of the Red Dragon Legion.
The Dragon Empire has declared war on the Northland Alliance!
After nine years, this war, which both sides had been prepared for, finally began.
The 300,000 Red Dragon Legion was divided into several group armies and stationed on the border under the leadership of various clan leaders, while the army of the Northland Alliance was based on various fortresses and fortresses, defending the city, and unswervingly blocking the Red Dragon Legion.
At the same time, the large siege equipment developed by the War Workshop (formerly the Goblin Workshop) had already been delivered to the front.
These things are tailored to the size of the monsters, and in terms of range and attack power, they are far from being comparable to human city defense equipment.
In order to be the initiator of this war, Emperor Izawa nested in the Dragon Palace, sleeping with the beautiful Irelia in his arms.
The leaders of the Red Dragon Clan have long been able to stand alone, and in the founding ceremony, he also used his dragon blood to transform into a dragon vein vassal, and his strength has been greatly improved, and there is no need for him to personally lead the troops to charge as before.
What's more, the border of the Dragon Empire is so long, although Ize can support any battlefield in half a day in the state of overclocking, he is now the founding emperor!
It's still the early stage of the war, and it's not the final battle, so if you do everything yourself, how much more will it cost?
And the leaders of the Red Dragon Clan are also riveting, and they are all secretly competing to see who can take the lead in breaking through their respective target fortresses, tearing a rift in the defense line of the Northland Alliance, and making a good start for the Dragon Teng Empire.
The rear of the human army is an alliance formed by the countries of the Northlands, and there are sufficient strategic materials and reserve troops, while the Red Dragon Legion only has the Dragon Empire to rely on.
Although the monsters are not afraid of death, and they don't need much extra military pay, the food and drink of the 300,000 troops every day will be a very big expense.
Therefore, this war can afford to be fought by the Northland Alliance, but the Dragon Empire needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the domestic economic situation may be dragged down by this war.
But Emperor Izawa was not worried at all, he believed in the combat power of the Red Dragon Legion.
He made his fortune by war, and the Red Dragon Legion fought too many big battles, all of them were experts in attacking cities and plundering land, even city-states like Franlon, not to mention these ordinary fortresses.
Victory is a matter of time.
However, in addition to their own countries, the human army has received strong support from various church organizations.
Because the Dragon Empire actually forbade missionary work, the Dragon King's orders were greater than everything, and the clergy were unwilling to let theocracy become an appendage of royal power.
If the Dragon Empire finally wins this war, I am afraid that they will have no place for them, just like the Church of the Shadow God.
Therefore, both the evil camp and the good camp actually "united" for the first time to jointly block the invasion of the Red Dragon Legion.
A large number of spellcasters, priests, and paladins rushed to the front line of the battlefield to give their part.
