Chapter 749: All things are entangled

The battle that broke out in Hammondale, with the retreat of the Erathian army, finally entered the final stage without suspense.

Despite Inheim's efforts, after this battle, none of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Erathian Empire in the Hammondale region managed to survive and escape back to the territory of the Erathian Empire.

Surrounded by the Entagre army on three sides, and completely lost air supremacy, exhausted by the previous battle, lost the logistics base, cut off supplies, and finally broke out, it was said that it was a breakout battle of the Erathia army, and it was better to say that it was a one-sided massacre of the Elasia army by the Entagre army.

In this final battle, two of the Entagris Army had two units that shone and became famous on the mainland.

One of them is, of course, the pride of the Entagrean army, the Imperial warrior troops who rushed to the battlefield in golden armor, although this army had begun to emerge in the forests of Orver and Turalion, but it was not so remarkable due to its small numbers, and in this last battle in Hammondal, they appeared in front of the world for the first time.

After this battle, all the soldiers of the Erathian Army who participated in that tragic battle and finally survived will not forget these powerful beings who are like golden gods of war who come and go on the battlefield.

It is self-evident what kind of fate ordinary Elassian Army soldiers have against these warriors of the Entagri Empire, even the Crusaders of the Erathian Empire, who are also hoplites and are also good at martial arts, in front of these golden gods of war, their performance can only be described as a nest, even those angel warriors of the Erathia Army, against these golden gods of war, they will inevitably have to fight hard, and they may not be able to win.

With the Erathia Army as a stepping stone, the Imperial Warrior Force of the Entagri Empire can be said to have become famous in the first battle.

The other group that left a strong psychological shadow on the soldiers of the Erathia Army was the Thor's troll unit from the Tetalia Marshes.

Through Bruce's efforts, almost all of the Thor troll tribes living in the Tetaria Marsh have now joined the Entagri Empire, and these powerful green giants with amazing regeneration abilities have joined the Tetaria Liberation Army at the call of Bruce and have become the backbone of the Taylaria Liberation Army.

These hoplites, armed with sophisticated equipment by the Entagri Empire, can be said to be natural killing machines, although they are not comparable to the Imperial warrior troops in martial arts, but with their racial abilities and natural divine power, their performance on the battlefield is no worse than that of the Imperial warrior troops, and in that final battle, they have created an amazing record of fighting cavalry head-on with infantry and winning.

None of the soldiers of the Erathian Army who survived that battle could forget the astonishing scene at that time, when the heavy cavalry units of the Erathia Army, which had high hopes for Inheim, charged against the Taylasian Liberation Army in front of them, these Thor-troll warriors like the iron god of war, with great courage and fanaticism, together with the Hydra and Crystal Dragons of the Taylaria Liberation Army, counter-charged the cavalry.

Two torrents of steel collided viciously on the plains of the Hammondale region.

With the astonishing weight brought by his tall stature and heavy equipment, as well as the charge that is no less than that of a galloping horse, in this confrontation between charging and counter-charging, the Thor troll did not fall behind, and then the charge of the Elasia cavalry was blocked by a crowd of people on their backs.

Then there was the one-sided slaughter, although while blocking the opponent's charge, many Thor trolls were also injured, but their regenerative ability against the sky allowed them to continue to fight, in contrast, the Erathian cavalry as their opponents did not have such skills, and it was impossible to be undefeated.

What's more, the Tetalia Liberation Army also has the terrifying Hydra Dragon and Crystal Dragon to help.

Since the beginning of this battle, the Thor-trolls, with their bravery on the battlefield and their loyalty to the Entagri Empire, have begun to let the world recognize their other side little by little, and little by little they have changed their inherent image in the eyes of the world.

It was also from this battle that the Imperial Warrior Troops and Thor Troll Troops of the Entagre Army began to be active on many battlefields on the continent with their amazing combat effectiveness, and slowly became synonymous with the strongest infantry on the continent.

Another battle of much smaller scale, but no less tragic, erupted after the defeat of the main force of the Erathian army: the Battle of White Cliff Pass.

As the only military stronghold in the Hammondale region today, the White Cliff Pass has been occupied by the Erathian Army after being voluntarily abandoned by the Elven Kingdom, because the Turalian Forest is now under the control of the Entagre Army, in order to prevent the Entagre Army from attacking from this direction, Inheim also had tens of thousands of troops stationed in the White Cliff Pass.

Kendall ordered the initiative to attack, and Inheim had no choice but to fight on his back, and the famous general of the empire knew that after this battle, no matter whether the Erathian army won or lost, the White Cliff Pass would lose its due role, so he was very decisive to transfer the garrison of the White Cliff Pass to increase the chances of victory.

Therefore, there are not many garrisons in Baiyaguan Pass, only a few thousand, but the Erathian army that was sent by Inheim to feint to attack Morrill was defeated by Morryl, and many remnants fled here, but when the Entagri army turned back to attack here, Baiyaguan actually gathered tens of thousands of troops.

At this time, the Erathian Army, which had become a lone army and had lost air supremacy, refused the persuasion of the Entagrean army to surrender and fought to the death, and finally under the onslaught of the Entagrean army's air-ground coordination, the whole army was annihilated, which made people sigh.

The fall of White Cliff Pass announced the complete defeat of the Erathian Army in the Hammondale area, and also made the war in the Hammondale area finally come to an end after such a long time.

The Entageri Empire, after the end of the battle in the Hammondale region, once again conquered the continent of Erathia.

In the case of being attacked by the elven kingdom and the Erathia Empire on both sides, he not only successfully got out of the predicament, but also cleverly set up a game, played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and to everyone's surprise, he united with the Rigna pirates to fight in the city of waterfalls, which disturbed the situation of the elven kingdom in one fell swoop, forcing the elven kingdom to finally abandon the Tulaone forest, and lost half of the country including the royal capital in a very short time.

Later, he used unprecedented tactics to win with air superiority, successfully annihilating the hundreds of thousands of Erathian troops commanded by the famous general Innheim of the Erathian Empire, beating the strongest country on the continent to the bones, and forcibly seized the Hammondale region, completing further expansion on the continent of Erathia.

These ironclad facts have made all those who still have some contempt for this new empire re-examine this empire that has risen like a miracle again, and now, no one dares to continue to underestimate this empire that has not been established for a long time.

First defeat the Elven Kingdom, and then defeat the Erathia Empire, such a thing, but many people want to do it, but they can't do it, on the mainland, no traditional force dares to boast that they have such a ability, but the Entagri Empire has done it, such a strength is enough to make everyone daunted.

Everyone has already felt the great threat from the Entagri Empire from the defeat of the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire.

What's more, until now, this empire is far from fully showing its strength, and no one knows what kind of amazing strength this empire is still hiding, because it has been again and again, when everyone thought that its strength had reached the limit, but suddenly ruthlessly overturned everyone's judgment and showed a more powerful strength that made everyone jaw-dropping.

The influence of the Entagri Empire on the continent is increasing day by day.

However, at this time, His Majesty Chen Jian, the emperor of the Entagri Empire, was not as complacent as many people imagined, and was not satisfied with the amazing achievements of the Entagri Empire.

On the contrary, Jian Chen was in a hurry at this time.

His own family knows his own affairs, although the scenery is infinite on the surface, but Chen Jian knows that the war against the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire has actually overwhelmed the Entagri Empire.

And the reason for this situation is very simple, only four words.

Expansion is too fast.

In fact, in Chen Jian's original strategic plan, the current stage of the Ntagri Empire should be to recuperate and practice its internal skills by taking advantage of the defensive lines laid in the Bailders and Ofer regions before.

Before digesting the Ofer region and making it an important grain producing area for the Entagri Empire, the only target that Chen Jian wanted to attack was Hammondal.

But now, due to a series of changes, the Entagri Empire not only conquered Hammondale in advance, but also occupied the Tularian Forest, which is almost the same area as the two regions of Ofer and Hammondale combined.

This kind of unplanned expansion has almost exhausted the little foundation that the Ntagri Empire, which has not been established for a long time, has managed to accumulate.

All these have objectively caused the current Entagri Empire to temporarily stop its external expansion.

It's a pity that a lot of times, war is such a thing, but it doesn't mean that you want to stop, it will stop.

Chen Jian knew this very well, so he had to find a way to reduce the possibility of war, and if it really didn't work, he also had to try to reduce the scale of the war.

Therefore, after occupying Hammondale, Chen Jian didn't even have time to enjoy the joy and excitement of having his long-cherished wish fulfilled, so he had to devote his energy to the construction of the border defense line.

This is not an easy job, after such a long period of war, Hammondal, as an important node in the new border defense line of the Entagri Empire, has long been in ruins and full of devastation.

The fortified Fort Werning and Hammondale Castles, which had been destroyed for strategic purposes by the Elven Kingdom in the previous battles, were now only in ruins, and the White Cliff Pass was also set on fire by the Erathian army that saw that the defeat was assured.

The situation in the forests of Turalone was not much better, and the Elven King Parson ordered the destruction of many military installations in important locations before withdrawing from the forest with the elves, so that they would not be used by the Entagri Empire in the future counterattack and become an obstacle to the elven army.

Under such circumstances, Chen Jian wants to build a solid border defense line, no matter how difficult it is, he needs a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time.

In addition, the reconstruction of the Ofer area, the reconstruction of the forests of Tula Leone, and the ongoing construction of the Bairdes area will also require more manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time.

But right now, Chen Jian lacks everything but manpower, so he can't think of it without a headache.

In addition to these, many miscellaneous matters, such as the integration of several Jungdagri armies, the resumption of tuntian work in the Ofer region, and the pacification of the many forest races in the Tulaone Forest, also needed Chen Jiancao to worry about.

The internal situation is a mess, and the external situation is not much better.

Chen Jian knew very well that although he had won two large-scale battles one after another, the two strong enemies of the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire were greatly injured, but when the other party would fight back, no one could say, the only thing he was sure of was that neither the Elven Kingdom nor the Erathia Empire would allow the Entagri Empire to continue to grow further steadily, maybe at this time, the other party was planning some conspiracy to deal with the Entagri Empire.

And after occupying the forests of Turalone and Hammondal, the Entagri Empire had to face the threat of another powerful opponent, that is, the necromancer of Deya.

Although the necromancers are now fighting with the two opponents of the Erathia Empire and the Bracada Mage Kingdom in the Tetaria Swamp, they should have no time to take a break to deal with the Entagri Empire, and their attitude towards the Tetaria Liberation Army in the swamp also indirectly illustrates this, but there are no absolutes in the world, and the necromancers' behavior has always been very weird, Chen Jian did not dare to take it lightly.

Anyway, it was a powerful force that could still stand alone against the Erathia Empire and the Bracada Mage Kingdom.

In addition, there is also the Bracada Mage Kingdom, this powerful mage country can play jumping battles in the Tetaria Swamp, and naturally can also play the same tactics in the territory of the Entagri Empire, and the two sides have already formed such a deep bond, Chen Jian has to guard against it.

As a result, Chen Jian's forces were a little tight, because the area he had to defend was not only the new border defense line composed of Tulaone Forest, Hammondal, and Baildes, but also many military points throughout the Ntagre Empire.

As a result, the matter of further military expansion has been put on the agenda again, and the expansion of the army does not mean that it is enough to recruit some people, but it involves all aspects of affairs.

What made Chen Jian even more depressed was that in addition to the state affairs not going well, his originally peaceful private life also underwent unexpected changes due to several women.

Katarina, the pirate princess of Rigner, Vikna, the female elf who has had a special experience with him, and Edride, a glamorous sorcerer who has been ambiguously entangled with him.

When these three women were, the attitude suddenly shown by the pirate princess Katarina was the most unacceptable to Chen Jian, he really couldn't understand that he and this woman didn't have much intersection at all, counting this time, the two had only met for the second time, how could the other party have feelings for himself?

Before Katarina came over this time, he had almost forgotten what the other man looked like.

Moreover, the forces represented by the two sides behind them are not so friendly, and at most they can only be called using each other, and if they do not have a common interest relationship for the time being, the two sides can even be called enemies rather than friends.

Could it be that there is really love at first sight in this world?

Chen Jian couldn't cry or laugh.

He was a little skeptical that this pirate princess had seen too much and went to the fiery demon, so he decided to deal with this matter coldly, and he felt that after a while, after feeling his attitude, this woman should give up.

It's just that Jian Chen didn't expect that although he didn't pay much attention to Katarina, Katarina had been studying him and paying attention to him in private, and the pirate princess had great curiosity about this man who did what he wanted to do but couldn't do it, and curiosity between the opposite sex is often the beginning of a relationship.

As she knows more and more about Chen Jian, and as she studies Chen Jian more and more, the pirate princess is already in love and can't extricate herself unconsciously, and she didn't know it before, but now she has woken up, but Katarina is now, although there are many factors that make her understand that this is a relationship that may not have any results and should not be generated, but she just can't let go.

On the pretext of discussing a coordinated attack on Erie, she actually stayed by Chen Jian's side, and Chen Jian estimated that this woman would not leave unless he agreed to her request and sent an army of Entagri to attack Eri with the Rigner pirates.

But how can Jian Chen agree to such a request now, he is fighting the idea of asking the Rigner pirates to help him contain the elven kingdom, and let him provide some material assistance, he can do it, but if he wants to directly send troops to the elven kingdom now, he will never will.

But he couldn't force this woman away, that wasn't hospitality, and he didn't want to make enemies with the Rigner pirates right now.

So he had to look depressedly at this woman dangling in front of his eyes from time to time under various pretexts in his rare leisure time.

However, compared to the female elf Vikna, who followed him almost all day long, Chen Jian felt that Katarina was really much easier to deal with.

Jian Chen didn't know how to face his deputy guard captain now.
