Chapter 308: Rebellion on the Mainland
Now that the war is resuming again, the Barron Empire of the Golden Lion not only declared war on Rodland by name, but also directly sent the First Army to the eastern border of Rodland, and even conspired with the most taboo Parliament of Dya to attack the Kingdom of Rodland from the east and west.
In this war against the Kingdom of Rodland, there is no room for maneuver.
The strongest army on the mainland, coupled with the support of the church with the most believers [Holy White], united the endless supply of troops and the more and more Diya undead, and at the same time launched a long-planned attack on Rodland, even if the Hope Church responded to the call of the princess at the first time and assisted the defenders in various places to fight, and the vassal countries around Rodland also sent troops to support, but the army was still stretched, and several other brigades of the Griffonheart Legion were exhausted, and after several major battles, they lost more than they won, and soon lost several fortresses in the border area, It had to retreat to the hinterland of the province to reorganize and deploy defenses. If there is satellite monitoring in this era, then the current situation of Rodland is like a piece of burning paper, the edges are shrinking as it burns out, and it may not be long before Rodland will face the final choice.
However, just when all the countries on the mainland were staring at the future of the survival of the Kingdom of Rhodeland, the sudden change shocked everyone.
This time, it's not just Rodland's own trouble.
On December 24, more than half a month after the invasion of the undead of Kronis, the crisis of the Kingdom of Rhodeland continued, but the continent of Cabez was on the verge of disaster again, and the first to suffer great changes was the Barron Empire, which was waving its banner and frequently winning victories in the invasion of Rhodeland. In order to support the First Army from the flanks, the Empire fought four days later. The second legion, the mixed infantry regiment, was also sent to the battlefield, but at this moment, the demon kingdom of Ofer, which had always been regarded as no less than the harm of the undead, finally sent the main force to the northeastern border of the empire after sending a small number of demons to harass the elven territory in early December. The timing of the demon's picks is very precise. The Second Army stationed in the north had just set out for the expedition and was in a period of weak defensive strength, and the Barron Empire's side, although it reached an agreement with Diya to jointly attack Roverland, did not involve the position of Over, so when the empire found out that the demons were taking advantage of the fire to rob, they were immediately a little angry, and accelerated the attack on Rhodeland on the one hand, and set out to fight against Over on the other.
This time, however. As if blessed by the gods, the demons of Orphe displayed amazing combat power, although the demons were known for their physical strength, and the attack in July was even attacked to the Thorn Fortress, but only today has the Empire discovered how terrible the demons of Orf are hiding, and the two sides have only fought each other. The empire was immediately locked in a bitter war.
On December 25, the Orver Demon Legion marched into the northeastern part of the Barron Empire. In half a day, he conquered the border fortress of Floren and slaughtered four villages in a row. The fortified fortress occupying the main road received the news and gathered all its forces, and even invited all the Holy White priests in the nearby villages and towns, but it was still unable to resist the personal supervision of the leader of the legion, Serren, and finally resisted for only a few hours. It was destroyed by several high-ranking archdemons in unison.
On December 26th, the southern army of the Oufu Demon Legion tore the portal and raided the southern border of the empire, and the female demon commander Ash became famous in a battle, and the morale of the demon army under her command was high, from the lowest imps and inferior demons to the highest level of demons. All attack in the most fanatical bloodlust and easily take the first city.
On December 28, the 'Battle of Thorns' began, and the Barron Empire's Thorn Fortress once again faced the attack of the Orver Legion, and with its strong walls, the Thorn Fortress withstood the first day of the demon's attack. However, this time, they couldn't wait for the order sent by the Holy White Headquarters, the entire order of nearly two hundred people, on the way to reinforcements, was ambushed by the elite demons sent by the Hell Demon King Ash, that night, the roar and roar resounded in the sky, and even from a distance of kilometers, the flames could be seen soaring into the sky. The Order, which included twenty-two paladins, thirty-five priests, and sixty-four high-ranking priests, were all killed that night, their limbs and scarlet arms and their red blood scorched into charcoals by the flames, which never went out for days.
In the early morning of the next day, the Demon Legion launched a fierce attack on the Thorn Fortress, and the High Archdemon teleported with fire energy, and successfully broke through the defense and entered the inside of the Thorn Fortress through the drill of the battle against Endymion in July, and carried out a devastating attack on the defenses. Although the Imperial Army successfully intercepted the Great Demon and teleported into the fortress at the cost of the lives of hundreds of soldiers, but lost nearly seventy percent of its means of defense, and without the blessing of holy power, ordinary soldiers could no longer cope with the strong Ofer species.
β¦β¦
The Empire has stepped up its efforts to mobilize its armies to deal with the demon legions of Orphe, but once again, a new force has emerged, and although they are few in number, their strength far exceeds that of humans, some of them are strong and can tear down a wall with an axe, and some have the unique ability to completely petrify their enemies...... When this information was delivered to the tables of the heads of state, everyone understood that the lords of Nigon, after a hundred years of absence, had once again struck on land.
Not long after the underground creatures invaded the ground, the situation deteriorated further, and I don't know what agreement was reached between Dia or the lords of Ofu and Nigon, these deformed creatures turned from sharks smelling fishy to orderly mercenary armies, following the undead of Dia and the demon of Over, roaming around the battlefield, attacking the Barron Empire and the Kingdom of Rholand at the same time, and sometimes taking advantage of the fierce confrontation between Endymion and Tania, to sneak attack the border between the two countries - without making any big moves, Merely looting villages will not attract the attention of the two countries, and it will be difficult for them to focus on attack and defense, which seems to be intended to provoke the stamina of these two powers. Although the vast majority of people don't understand why Nigon, as a kingdom divided by lords, would make such a move, there is no doubt that the current two human kingdoms fighting each other have reduced the strength of both sides, and the situation is not optimistic when they are attacked by the three forces at this time.
For a while, wolf smoke was everywhere.
The moment when the new calendar is about to turn the page. No one could have expected such a war that would affect almost the entire continent, and even because the participating countries were all going all out this time, especially the attacking side showing its hidden strength with its fangs, the military strategists who had once ridiculed the undead and demons as "extremely stupid", "brainless but braincase", and "burned into fools by the flames" all became dumb this time. At first, they tried to analyze the current situation, but one after another changed and eventually forced them to overturn each research and start over. For now, they only hope that this feuding battle between Endymion and Tania will be won and lost, so that they can free up their hands to reinforce the Rodland or the Barron Empire. As long as half of the five great powers were at war, they believed that no one, whether it was Diya, Ofer, or Nigon, could continue to run rampant.
With such hope and confidence, the people of the mainland. Spent the last day of the 245th year of the new calendar.
A new year is coming.
- Accompanied by a new nightmare.
In the year 246 of the new calendar, in the harsh winter of January, on the vast blue sea, an overseas army of hundreds of giant warships was covered, and the target was slowly approaching the continent of Cabez. These islanders from the overseas Wing God Island, land demons who have not set foot on the mainland for thousands of years, have finally made a comeback.
Kunali Kunyou's army, just to recapture the one that was lost thousands of years ago.
Gonodia. Caught in a chaotic trajectory.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the southeastern corner of the continent of Cabez, it is a natural area surrounded by mountains. There are few people there, and the dominant ones are wild beasts and monsters, like the primeval forest, in which no human beings live. And under this mountain, under the ground that few people have set foot in, there is a vast and boundless space. It is connected to the underground kingdom of Nigon, but it is in its own vein, strong and inviolable.
This is where the kingdom of the dark elves after the capital was moved.
Beneath the high mountains, surrounded by dense primeval forests, there is a deep cave hewn in. It was the entrance to the Dark Elf Kingdom, winding its way down through one area after another full of stone pillars, like a natural fortress. If you can go down this tunnel and reach a certain location, you can have an unobstructed view of the underground capital of the dark elves [Rust], which is no less prosperous than the dwarven craft, if it is not hidden deep underground, I am afraid that it will have been attacked and plundered by greedy humans long ago.
- The human beings here refer specifically to the people of the Empire.
The history of the Dark Elves is very secretive, it is said that they are the same as the orthodox Elves of the Winter Forest, but in the forty-first year of the new calendar, the new leader who succeeded the Elven Queen Ainalella: the Elven King Elnir, proposed a new centralized power and monarchical hereditary system, the Dark Elf Queen was unwilling to submit to this objection, and as a result, the Barron Empire seized the opportunity to march on her, and the Dark Elf Queen asked for the assistance of Erniel, which was naturally refused, and when humans almost completely occupied the territory of the Dark Elves, Ernier also launched an invasion, he led his army to the border and joined the ashes war created by the human army, so the dark elf queen announced her separation from the elves, and suddenly rose strongly with an inexplicable attitude, transforming all the elves at that time into dark elves.
No one knows exactly where the Queen of Dark Elves got her power, but what remains of history is that she won the war with the smallest number of Dark Elves. When the war passed, the queen abandoned the original capital of Idaria, and led all the dark elves to retreat eastward, eventually establishing a new nation under the mountains. Although the betrayal of their kindred is the hatred in the hearts of every dark elf, the invasion of the Empire humans also makes them extremely angry, and today, they have long been cut off from the elves on the other side of the continent, but because they are not far from the Barron Empire, they often attack border cities, villages, or caravans. Of course, because of this, the troubled Imperial people promote the Dark Elves as "a dark race full of hatred for any creature in the surface world", and the Dark Elves have never intended to justify, and most of the creatures in the mountains and the monsters in the underground get along well with the Dark Elves, right and wrong, and people who understand it can naturally see clearly.
When there were frequent battles on the land, and the entire Cabez continent was in chaos, the dark elves were still living in an orderly manner. But just when most of the dark elves were working and living peacefully, the not-so-bright space directly above Rust City suddenly buzzed and vibrate. When the strange sound almost attracted the attention of the dark elves in the city, the fluctuations suddenly spread, and the light was lost, and in its place, a black space suddenly tore apart, and soon. Something fell out of the dark space, scattered all over the city of Rust, only the last one, falling like a meteorite, pulled a black trail in the air, and smashed down on the square of Rust City. Almost the entire ground was destroyed.
After that, the dark space slowly closed and disappeared as if it never existed.
The dark elves who witnessed the incident were so surprised that they forgot their words.
It didn't take long for the Dark Elf Guards to get into action, searching all the items they had just dropped. Not surprisingly, the Dark Elf guards first found a black orb that had crashed into the plaza, and although it was not clear what was inside, it was at the Queen's orders. The Dark Elf guards immediately brought it to the Dark Elf Palace.
In the grand and majestic black palace, a young dark elf woman was standing under the throne and waiting quietly in the empty hall. She is the first Dark Elf Priestess and a candidate for the next Queen, through the Dark Elf Elders and the Queen. Across from her stood solemnly a Dark Elf male, the captain of the Queen's garrison. Although the society of the dark elves is a matrilineal clan society, with women as the main rulers, men are not treated as scorned slaves as advertised. Objectively speaking, the dark elves are deeply influenced by the law of the jungle. The concept of respecting the strong is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and the strong can naturally get the treatment they deserve.
A short time later, the Dark Elf Guard entered the main hall with the black orb, and the Dark Elf Captain motioned for them to put it down, and then turned to leave.
The young Dark Elf priestess looked up and took a closer look at the black orb. It's just vaguely clear that there is a human figure inside. At this moment, the captain of the garrison turned sharply and fell to one knee, and the priestess noticed it at the same time, and bowed her head respectfully.
After the throne. A slender figure slowly appeared.
The Queen of the Dark Elves has arrived.
The pure dark elf is a symbol of strength, even more cherished than the royal blood of the elf clan, and the dark elf queen, as the ancestor of all dark elves, is naturally the first pure-blooded dark elf. Female dark elves have always been considered to be seductive, and the queen can be called the first beauty of the dark elves, in addition to having a gorgeous and charming face, she is tall and plump, but her long black hair, listless expression, but people have a deeper impression - that is arrogance, as if in her opinion, few things can make her interested.
She walked slowly, behind the transparent silk robe dragged to the ground, followed by an evil-looking human man, and when the priestess saw him, a trace of hostility flashed in her eyes.
"Is this the thing that disturbs the rest of the rest?"
The Dark Elf Queen stepped onto the throne, one arm on her face, and asked in an indifferent voice.
"Exactly, Queen, this is a falling object found by the garrison, please judge." The captain of the garrison immediately replied. The priestess on the side took advantage of this moment to look up and take a closer look at the queen's face, although it was still a lazy appearance, but on the brown skin, there was a blush that was not easy to be noticed.
"Star."
The priestess who was called hurriedly responded, "Your Excellency. β
The queen's gaze moved to her, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "What do you think?" β
"I don't dare to make a decision until the queen decides, but ......," she hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "But in this black sphere, there seems to be a human figure." β
"Oh?" The Queen of the Dark Elves seemed to be interested, she didn't move, but just focused her eyes on the evil man standing in the position of the next hand, "Mr. Andersen, can you break the black ball and reveal the person in it?" β
The corners of the evil man's mouth rose, and he didn't answer, but walked directly to the black sphere. He didn't seem to notice the priestess's unkind gaze at all, but just circled around the black ball twice, and then showed a knowing expression, "It's just a protective measure for magic props." Then he raised his hand and tapped lightly on the black sphere, and the whole sphere was like a thin piece of glass, shattering in an instant.
The moment the man in the ball showed his face, the evil man's face suddenly changed.
"Queen, the humans here are very dangerous." He immediately walked over to the queen on the throne and bowed lightly, "That's what my 'intuition' says. β
When the Queen of Dark Elves heard the second half of the sentence, her whole body trembled slightly, and then she immediately got up and gave an order before leaving.
"In that case, throw it into the dungeon, block a qiΔ energy fluctuation, and when you are tired, you can leave on your own."
With that, the Queen of the Dark Elves turned around and walked back to her bedchamber, and the evil man stared at the figure on the ground fixedly, as if showing a puzzled expression, but quickly turned around and followed the queen away.
In the main hall, only the ugly priestess, the calm captain of the garrison, and the unconscious man in the ball remained.
"The Queen's decision, is it not to be questioned......" the priestess whispered to herself, gritting her teeth, "it is clearly the man's words that have decided it." β
The captain of the garrison turned his head and looked at her calmly, "The queen's preferences, we have no right to interfere." β
The two looked at each other, and the priestess knew that she couldn't move the captain of the garrison, so she turned around and left hatefully. The captain of the garrison didn't care about her, he just regarded it as a girl's rebellious period, but instead set his eyes on the unconscious people on the ground.
Is it very dangerous?
He narrowed his eyes and reached for the saber at his waistβ(To be continued......)
