Chapter 651: A New War
Chapter 651: A New War
In the large study room of Chen Jian in the new Mig Fort, on one of the walls, there is a huge map of the continent of Erathia, which has been remade not long ago.
Due to the astonishing size of the map, this map can be said to be very detailed, the geography of the mountains and rivers in various regions of the continent is clearly marked on it, in addition to those well-known large cities, many unknown city castles are also marked on it, some colored silk lines are used as national boundaries to fix on this map, so as to facilitate the change of national borders at any time according to the changes in the situation, and many special flags representing various meanings are inserted on the map, A rough indication of the distribution of forces of each faction.
The intelligence from Skynet makes some new changes on this map every day, especially the flags representing the armies of various forces, which are changed frequently.
The person in charge of this work is naturally Esrena, who returned to Jian Chen's side after marriage, when the Angel Clan broke away from the empire, Esreina did not return to Tytalia, and after a period of operation, many things in the local area are already on the right track, as the locals are more and more accepting of the concept of racial equality and the Entagri Empire, Chen Jian has planned to send troops into the swamp area in the near future, in this case, it doesn't make much sense for Esreina to continue to stay there, The mission of the envoy has also been successfully completed after the successful annexation of several rebel forces by the Liberation Army of Taylalia, and in the following period, Chen Jian's operations in the Taylya region will be mainly military operations, so he sent Aedrid to replace Aesrena, so that the experienced and famous general will be in charge of the affairs of the Taylya region with Bruce.
It is worth mentioning that Adride seems to be quite happy that Chen Jian gave her this opportunity.
After bringing Jilian and the others from the empire to Negan, Esreina has been helping Jian Chen with the work of settling the Angel Clan, and has since returned to charge for Jian Chen's personal guard and confidential secretary.
Although Chen Jian is now the emperor of the empire, his style has not changed from the past, he knows how to delegate power, and most of the things are left to a group of capable subordinates to deal with, but he is happy to be idle, just pay attention to the progress of various affairs from time to time.
But this does not mean that Esrena's work as a confidential secretary can be made easier because of this, on the contrary, because of Chen Jian's style, Esrena's workload is actually a lot, plus she has to worry about Chen Jian's security work, and she also has to help Chen Jian get some chores from time to time to serve tea and pour water, so she is a little busy.
Originally, as her third queen, there were many things that she didn't have to do by herself, in fact, Chen Jian was very considerate to arrange a competent assistant for her, so that she could hand over most of the work of the escort to this assistant, as for those things that served tea and poured water, it could have been arranged by Forler, who has now become the head of the royal family, and Ai Xianrena could completely focus on her confidential secretary work and help Chen Jian handle various government affairs.
However, after hearing from Morriel about the theory that Jian Chen's security is the biggest weakness of the empire, Esrena re-arrested these things, of course, she is hands-on in terms of security work to be foolproof, and the more diligent she is in serving tea and pouring water, in her words, she is not to give anyone who may want to be unfavorable to Jian Chen to give a possible opportunity, at the same time, there are too many confidential things in this study, and it is also inconvenient for idle people to come in and out here.
After losing her grandfather Howard, Esreina no longer has any relatives in this world, and Jian Chen is now the person she is most concerned about, and she will never allow Jian Chen to have any accidents.
After all, it was his wife, and Jian Chen was heartbroken when he saw Esreina so busy, so he asked her to choose reliable people by herself and set up a secretarial team to help her.
So in Chen Jian's study, in addition to the guards who were always fully armed, who were renamed the Presidential Guard and the Royal Praetorian Guard, there was another beautiful scenery - the people Esreina found were all female archangels in the Praetorian Guard, and they were all delicate and proud.
The reason why this situation is like this is not because of Jian Chen's bad taste, but because there are other reasons.
The reason why all the angels were chosen instead of any other race was mainly due to the safety of Jian Chen, although it was a secretarial group, but this did not prevent Esreina from building it into a strong line of defense to protect Chen Jian, and if necessary, these highly skilled female archangels from the Praetorian Guard would be transformed from confidential secretaries into powerful warriors who would give any assassin a big headache.
As for why these female archangels are all delicate and proud, it is because of Chen Jian's old butler Forlesh's head full of royal decency thoughts, in the eyes of the current royal family manager, this secretary team will definitely travel with His Majesty the Emperor often in the future, if it is a long crooked melon and cracked dates, it is really detrimental to the majesty of the imperial family, so after learning that the third queen wants to select people, he specially reminded this.
This secretarial group, which is composed entirely of female archangels, naturally includes the daily work of carrying out the map of Nafu in a timely manner according to the information provided by various parties, so that His Majesty the Emperor can know the situation in various parts of the mainland at any time and use it as a reference for formulating various strategies.
In the past few days, several female archangel secretaries have noticed that His Majesty the Emperor often stares at the Bairdes region on the map, which has been included in the territory of the Entagri Empire.
Today is the same, His Majesty the Emperor is once again staring at the Baierdes area on the map and thinking intently, and several female archangels have consciously relaxed the movements of their hands, lest they make too much noise that will affect His Majesty's train of thought.
Jian Chen didn't notice this, and he was hesitating about how he was going to make a move in Bailders.
The Bairders region has always been a huge borderland, and the excessive desolation and large number of undead creatures have made it a dangerous area that all races have been reluctant to set foot in since ancient times, and it is only a few years ago that the hill dwarves began to establish themselves in the area, built stone castles, and paid a heavy price to destroy a large number of undead creatures, and it began to become lively.
But even so, most of the activities in this area are passing caravans, and a large number of bandits corresponding to these caravans, but after the doomsday battle that made Ofu destroy the country, the stone castle has been abandoned, and the hill dwarves have also left with Jian Chen, and later Moriel was still recruiting the crystal dragon clan when he didn't want to lure the undead creatures in the depths of Bailders to the periphery again, plus the situation in Hammondale is complicated, and the war is frequent, and now Baildes's trade route has long been cut off, The bandits also began to move to other places where there was more oil and water to fish, and the borderless land was quiet again.
But under this quiet surface is an undercurrent, Chen Jian's Entagre Empire has been mining all kinds of rich enough to make all forces crazy since a long time ago, and has used this place as a springboard for him to enter the mainland, and has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the underground to operate, and now, with the underground fortress that relies on the rich ore exhibition as the center, Chen Jian has a huge city under Baierdes, A large number of hill dwarves and Negan underground races have continuously transported various local products to Jian Chen's empire.
The city, now renamed Rost City, is actually a huge military and industrial fortress city, with a large mine pit and a large arsenal of Chen Jian.
As early as the occupation of the Solo Peninsula, Chen Jian sent a large number of Negans to the city, under his request, the dwarves gave up their traditional workshop-style production model, and instead adopted the assembly line production model proposed by Chen Jian by special personnel to produce various customized accessories and then assemble, and after accepting the concept of racial equality, the dwarves no longer cherish themselves, they contributed their various technologies, and helped Chen Jian train an astonishing number of qualified weapons production workers, Coupled with the convenience of advanced mechanical technology, the production capacity of this arsenal is quite impressive.
Nowadays, most of the people working in the arsenal are the Negan natives of various races from the Negan, among which the cave people and the minotaurs are the majority, and the dwarf population is drastically reduced so that they are simply not enough to handle the huge production tasks, and now most of them have withdrawn from the front line of production, and have become technicians and inspectors in the arsenal, responsible for guiding the number of Negan people to carry out production, designing various equipment that meets the requirements of the army for the use of soldiers of a specific race, and strictly controlling the quality.
Of course, the miners working in the pits are no longer mainly hill dwarves, and a large number of Negan cave talents are now the main miners of the Entagri Empire.
There are still a staggering number of troops stationed in this city, and after unifying Negan, Chen Jian transferred several more legions to be stationed here, firstly, to ensure the safety of this underground city that is important to the Entagri Empire, and secondly, to plan for the future.
With the addition of these new forces, the Entageri Empire now has an astonishing degree of control over the underground of Bairdes, and in addition to Rost City, most of the transportation points under Bairdes are also under its control.
Therefore, strictly speaking, although the surface of Baierdes is rampant with undead creatures, it is no longer the Borderland it used to be, and it has long become an indispensable part of the Entagri Empire.
The Entagre Empire is so active in Baierdes, several forces next to Bairders will naturally not sit idly by, and the Erathia Empire has always sent a large number of scouts from the eastern border to monitor this area, in order to prevent Chen Jian from sneaking up on him like the original Cregans, and hoping to find out what Chen Jian's intentions are in Bairders's activity, and the Elven Kingdom and Farouk have also been paying attention to this place.
It's just that the presence of undead creatures, as well as the hidden city of Rost and the labyrinthine tunnels underground, have seriously hindered the exploration of several forces in Bairders, and they can't figure out what kind of power the Entagri Empire has in this land, and they can't reveal the secrets hidden underground.
But right now, for Jian Chen, those undead creatures that had helped him a lot had also become a stumbling block to his next plan, and if his army wanted to come out of the ground, he would have to fight with these undead creatures first, otherwise, he would not be able to do anything.
What Jian Chen is worried about now is this matter.
The undead creatures of Bairders are all low-level undead creatures with no self-awareness, and their combat power is not high, but their number is really a little too much.
When the hill dwarves first arrived here, they only cleared a relatively safe area around the stone castle with the help of the whole clan, of course, the situation of the dwarves at that time was indeed a bit bad, their troops were too single without the help of flying troops, and they did not have enough magical power, so they could only fight with the undead creatures.
Chen Jian has the strength of the hill dwarves far from the beginning, his army is fully equipped, although the magic power in his hands is not as good as a magical power like the Bracada Kingdom, but after unifying Negan's magic world, it is also quite considerable, if Chen Jian is willing, Entagredi** wants to go up to the ground to destroy those undead creatures, like the hill dwarves did in the first place to create a safe area around Bailders, it is not a difficult task, it just takes some time, But he wasn't sure how the surrounding forces would react to the actions of the Entagri army when he cleared them of the undead creatures.
Because the Hammondale area bordering Bairdes is now very chaotic, the civil strife of the Farouk army has made Hammondale the focus of attention again, when Alice and other Gru supporters finally turned their faces with Farouk, and took many elites of the Farouk army and many of their supporters to break away from the Farouk army and enter the Ofer area, the elven kingdom finally showed the true situation of the Farouk army, and then Parson roared and gathered the army again and counterattacked, and the Farouk army lost the blade of Doom, Unable to resist the onslaught of the enemy, he retreated one after another, and his control area in the Elven Kingdom had been completely lost, and even Farouk's old nest Siliki could not be saved, Farouk led the remnants of his army to defeat all the way, and finally retreated in the Hammondale area, ready to continue to resist stubbornly by virtue of the danger of White Cliff Pass.
But at this time, the Erathia Empire also began to strength, and after there was no threat of the Doomsday Blade, Kendall immediately ordered the Erathia Emperor ** to recover Hammondale - this is a matter of course, he will not let the Elven Kingdom take the opportunity to destroy Farouk and snatch the Hammondale region again, and Hammondale can only be the Erathia Empire.
Attacked on both sides, the Farouk army was soon defeated, although they blocked the footsteps of the elven kingdom army at the White Cliff Pass, but they were killed by the army of the Erathian Empire in the other direction, Fort Verning soon fell, Farouk saw that the big thing was bad, and he did not dare to continue to defend the castle of Hammondal, and ran away again with the remnants of the army, and also fled into the Ofer area.
However, Farouk was finally smart at this time, before leaving, in order to be able to entangle the army of the Erathia Empire to chase and kill him, he put the army of the Elf Kingdom into the White Cliff Pass, so that the army of the Elf Kingdom had entered the Hammondale area, which led to a new round of disputes between the Elasia Empire and the Elven Kingdom in the Hammondale area, because the army of the Elven Kingdom seized the city of Hammondale one step ahead of the Erathia Emperor.
Kendall's attitude towards diplomacy has always been very tough, he asked Parson to withdraw his army from the Hammondale area immediately, although the elf king Parson was at a loss, but he refused to give away the fat in his hand again, not to mention, he had fought with Farouk for so long, and the heavy losses made him depressed every time he thought about it, and now he finally had a little success, of course he didn't want to let it go, not to mention, the rich mine in the Hammondale area really made him red.
So under the pretext of continuing to pursue and kill the Farouk army, Parson proposed that the Erathian Empire temporarily lend the Hammondale region to the Elven Kingdom for the sake of everyone's ally.
Parson's idea is that even if he can't snatch the Hammondale region back from the Erathia Empire again, it would be good to stay for a while longer, with the mining ability of the forest dwarves, he can get many mineral resources from Hammondale that are currently in short supply in the elven kingdom, and after a while, when he has made enough, it will not be too late to return Hammondale to Kendall.
But this time Parson obviously miscalculated, he overestimated Kendall's patience, and underestimated Kendall's toughness, Kendall, the regent of the empire who has been in trouble recently, is worried about the internal and external troubles of the empire at this time, and he is quite sensitive to the issue of Hammondal, and Parson just hit his gun.
"Do you really think that the current Erathian Empire has been reduced to the point where anyone can step on it? How dare you play such a trick with me."
Enraged, Kendall brazenly ordered the Elasia Emperor to use force to expel the army of the Elven Kingdom and defend the Empire's sovereignty in the Hammondale region, and a new war broke out.
Parson, who had no intention of starting a war with the Erathia Empire at this time, was stunned by Kendall's sudden attack, and when he came back to his senses, he was also angry: "Kendall, you are really too deceitful, do you think that the elven kingdom has really been weakened by Farouk's traitors to the point that it can no longer fight?" Even if you want to fight, then I don't believe it, no matter how powerful the Erathian Empire is, it can't deal with three enemies at the same time."
The two countries are now in full swing in the Hammondale area, and the battlefield of the war between the two sides has even extended to the Overer region and the Baildes area, so if Chen Jian wants to take action in Baildes, he can't ignore the reaction of these two forces.
(I drank high today, slept for a day, woke up at night, and was finally in good shape, and put five thousand words on it, a little less, but Childe tried his best, everyone forgive me)
