Ashoka died, and died silently.

As the only reigning NPC emperor in the world, Ashoka enjoys unparalleled authority in the Ashoka Dynasty, and can decide life and death in a word, and is the soul of the Ashoka Dynasty.

It was precisely in this way that the sudden "violent death" of Ashoka was a devastating blow to the Ashoka dynasty.

The morale that had just been boosted dropped to freezing point in an instant.

The troops did not know whether to launch a counterattack against the invasion of Great Xia according to the predetermined plan, or whether they should first escort the king's body to the royal city and choose a new successor to the dynasty.

On the other side, Great Xia's attack became more and more fierce.

At this time, if the Peacock King is still in Tianzhu, he may be able to "unveil the pole" and re-erect the banner of the Peacock Dynasty. However, at the moment of the fall of the Mauryan Dynasty, the Peacock King was included in the key elimination targets by Ashoka and sent to the Reincarnation Palace.

The Peacock King had no choice but to vote for another country.

In addition, King Gupta had already defected to the Germanic Dynasty, and the Tianzhu District at this time could be described as leaderless, and in the face of the attack of Great Xia, it was only a matter of time before it was defeated.

…………

October 18, Jingshi.

After using the "Emperor is Death Talisman" to kill Ashoka, Ouyang Shuo didn't pay much attention to the battle situation in Tianzhu, in this case, if the Great Xia army couldn't occupy the entire territory of Tianzhu, it would be a real failure.

Part of Ouyang Shuo's mind was spent on the aftermath of the Mayan War.

After the establishment of the Caribbean provinces, the Americas Theater recently took advantage of the situation to carry out a readjustment of the defense zones of the three major army groups in order to adapt to the new development of the situation.

The North American Army was transferred from the previous garrison of Columbia Province to the newly established Caribbean Province as the main frontier force against the Dawson Dynasty.

As the dust settles on the Mayan War, the Dawson dynasty enters a brief hibernation period.

In order to defeat the Maple Leaf Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty spent nearly a year; In order to settle the Mayan dynasty, it took the Dawson dynasty almost another year.

The continuous war for two consecutive years was also a great drain on the Dawson Dynasty homeland. Both the people's and the material's resources have reached a point of provoking danger and are in urgent need of recuperation.

In addition, it is necessary to pacify the occupied territories, so although the current global situation is changing, it is a good time for the heroes to rise together and make achievements, Jack is not carried away by the victory, and he is very sensible to stop and concentrate on internal affairs.

Jack knew very well that he could only talk about anything else if he ran North America well.

Moreover, Gaia announced three base places, if nothing else, there is one designated Dawson Dynasty, and Jack naturally has less urgency.

After all, stability is paramount.

Of course, recuperation doesn't mean doing nothing.

Similar to the previous practice of Great Xia, the Dawson Dynasty did not forget the layout of overseas territories while strengthening the construction of internal affairs.

The only overseas territory of the Dawson Dynasty was, of course, Central Africa.

Some time ago, Jack was busy with the Mayan War and didn't have the energy to take care of the African continent, and now that the Mayan dispute has been resolved, Jack naturally can't tolerate the arrogance of the Bantu Dynasty anymore.

In the next African war, it is estimated that there will be a good show to be staged.

Overall, the death of the Dawson dynasty was also a great opportunity for the North American Army to establish defensive lines and border fortifications in the Caribbean provinces.

The Yugoslav US forces are still stationed in the provinces of Amazonas, Brasilia, and Uruguay, while the Tiger Army is transferred from Brasilia to Columbia.

More than a year has passed since the annexation of the Brasilia Dynasty, and the three provinces of South America have tended to be stable, turning from chaos to rule, internal contradictions have gradually disappeared, and there are no major hidden dangers.

In this way, there is no need for the Tiger Army to deter in Brasilia.

As for the threat of the Indian Empire, it is basically equal to nothing, although the Indian Empire is no longer an ally of Great Xia, but Hu Yarez knows very well in his heart that there will be no good end to confronting Great Xia.

At present, the stability of South America is the greatest dividend of the Indian Empire.

In addition, it is difficult for the Indian Empire to obtain a place in the Hope Planet Forward Base, and in the future, in the affairs of the Hope Planet, Juarez will have to rely on Great Xia, and he will not be presumptuous.

Of course, there should still be precautions.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want the Americas Protectorate, which had been established with great difficulty, to capsize in a gutter.

The transfer of the Tiger Army to the province of Colombia this time is equivalent to playing a role of connecting the upper and lower levels, which can not only go north to support the Caribbean provinces, but also go south to reinforce the three provinces of South America.

The pattern of the American theater of operations has been determined.

In addition to the adjustment of the theater of operations in the Americas, another is the treatment of mercenaries.

After the two major battles, when it was first formed, there were nine legions of mercenaries, and now there are only six legions left, totaling 300,000 troops.

After two major battles, the surviving mercenaries were already real elite divisions, and their combat power was not much different from the regular army of Great Xia.

In view of the mercenaries' outstanding achievements in the American battlefield, Ouyang Shuo decided to secretly grant him the title of Ghost Army. Due to the flexible characteristics of the mercenaries, Ouyang Shuo even allowed the Ghost Army to carry out a specialization in the whole army, without setting a limit on the number of legions, which could be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation.

This is also a compliment to the mercenaries, who henceforth are secretly registered in the regular army of the Empire, and are not fundamentally different from other armies.

In order to better control the group army, Ouyang Shuo ordered to secretly promote Zeng Guoquan, the commander of the first legion of the former Yulin Army, to the position of commander of the ghost army.

Zeng Guoquan is the ninth brother of Zeng Guofan, graduated from Xiangxiang Private School, one of the main generals of the Hunan army, and is known as "Zeng Iron Bucket" because he is good at digging trenches and besieging the city, and is the crown prince Taibao, the governor of Liangjiang.

With Zeng Guoquan in charge, Ouyang Shuo can really rest assured about the Ghost Army.

The position of corps commander left by Zeng Guoquan was taken over by Lin Jing, commander of the Fifth Army Corps of the Yulin Army. Ming Yuezhao, the deputy commander of the First Army Corps, was promoted to the post of commander of the Fifth Army Corps.

In this way, the Yulin Army also ushered in a reshuffle, and Lin Jing's "invisible promotion" is a very obvious signal, this special force, Ouyang Shuo must be firmly held in his hands.

With the stability of the war in the Americas, it is no longer appropriate to leave the Ghost Army in the American Protectorate.

At the suggestion of the Privy Council, the Imperial Court decided to secretly transfer the Ghost Army to the African theater of operations and choose an opportunity to carry out a secret military operation codenamed "Forged Steel".

This action was related to the layout of the empire in Europe, which shows the importance that the imperial court attached to the ghost army.

The atmosphere in the current European battlefield was very strange, and Ouyang Shuo was a little undecided for a while, so he instructed the Ghost Army to act at the opportunity after arriving on the African continent.

…………

On October 20, Gaia suddenly disclosed a news on the official website, which plunged players around the world into a deathly silence, and even Ouyang Shuo's face couldn't help but change greatly.
