Chapter 653: A New Trend of Thought

When the time came to the autumn of this year, the battle that gave birth to Hammondale finally turned the city of Harmondale, which Catherine had poured countless efforts into and placed countless high hopes on, into a ruin.

During the period when Chen Jian served as the lord, the once prosperous city of Hammondale has now become the burial place of countless emperor ** soldiers and elf king ** soldiers, and the countless old grievances and hatreds accumulated between the two countries during the timber war have made this war on the same battlefield as the timber war period particularly tragic, and the two sides have invested amazing forces to fight for the hammondale area, hammondale castle, Fort Werning, and White Cliff Pass, all of which have changed hands several times, just like Hammondale City, These three military installations were also in dilapidation at this time, and they were no longer as majestic as they once were.

And the local residents, who have been quite scarce since Chen Jian left, are now nowhere to be found, and they have fled completely, or they have died in the war, and there is no other figure in the land of Hammondal, except for the soldiers of the warring sides.

And the war has now spread from the Hammondale region to the surrounding areas, whether it is in the Empire, or the forests of Turalion, or Bailders and Orver, there are two armies fighting, archangels and griffins in the air against the forest dragons and silver Pegasus knights, Imperial knights and crusaders on the ground with dwarven warriors and centaur warriors in a mess, the imperial crossbowmen armed with heavy crossbows are competing with elven archers with crossbows and bows, and the magicians are certainly not idle, The magic on the continent of Erathia seems to have been born for war.

Every day, a large number of soldiers from both countries fall on the ground of Hammondal, scarred in one way or another, and then either buried hastily or burned on the spot, and some unknown can only be bleak and exposed in the wilderness, becoming a meal for some carnivores.

But despite the tragedy of the war, no side can really occupy the absolute upper hand, the imperial side lost in the turmoil of the Doomsday Campaign, at this time, it was fighting on two fronts, and it was necessary to defend the long border, and the troops were already a little tight, and the battle between the sea and the Entagri Imperial Navy lost a considerable number of griffons again, and the large-scale defection of the Angel Clan made the emperor's morale plummet, and the air power began to show a decline.

Life in the elven kingdom is not very good, speaking of which Parson is also sad and wants to shed tears, because in the doomsday battle, when the Doomsday Blade was still in the hands of the Kregan, the army of the elven kingdom had been repeatedly poisoned by the Doomsday Blade, and as a result, the Doomsday Battle was over, but the Doomsday Blade fell into the hands of Farouk, which once again made the Elf King** team suffer, carefully calculated, the number of Elf King** team that fell under the Doomsday Blade has reached a terrifying level.

In addition, Farukra has taken a large group of people, and the current Elf King** team is not what it used to be, so although the Emperor ** is a little weak, they can't recover the Hammondale region in one fell swoop as the Elf King Parson expected.

Under these circumstances, the two teams began to fight a war of attrition in the Hammondale area, and both sides carried out a new round of conscription operations at home, causing internal complaints in both countries.

And within the two ** teams, among the lower-level soldiers, because of the tragedy of the war, there is no hope of victory for a long time, and the war-weariness is also quietly emerging.

This sentiment is especially evident in the army of the Elven Kingdom, because in the army of the Elven Kingdom, low-level soldiers often mean non-elven soldiers.

And most of these soldiers are forest dwarven and centaur soldiers.

The forest dwarves followed the division of the hill dwarves that year, and there was a split again, and a considerable number of forest dwarves who advocated racial equality and were dissatisfied with the high-pressure policy of the elves joined the rebels of Farook, which made the status of the forest dwarves in the elven kingdom more and more bad, and the centaurs were the same, although the root of the breeding of the race was firmly controlled by the elves, there were still many radical centaurs who resolutely participated in Farouk's rebellion.

The situation is getting worse and worse, no matter how good-tempered people are, there will be a day when they can't bear it, although these two races are not going to rebel against the elven kingdom again, but this does not prevent them from being full of disgust that they want to work for the elven race, and there are naturally many people who are passive and wary.

If the elves can make some corresponding countermeasures at this time and ease the contradictions between the races, maybe the situation will not get worse, but this is obviously impossible.

In fact, there was a serious polarization within the elven race at this time, when some of the elves who believed in the ancient druidic doctrine used the most drastic means to express their thoughts - after joining the rebels of Farouk and the elven kingdom as enemies, the elven clan began a large-scale clean-up operation, the elven king Parson is undoubtedly a staunch elvenist, he is hostile to those who dare to betray his people, he ordered the investigation of traitors in the clan, and executed some of these daring clansmen, Trying to achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, but on the contrary, these clansmen have strengthened their beliefs, and it has also caused some divisions within the elven clan.

But there is no doubt that these elves who believe in the ancient druid doctrine have no status in the country, most of them are some commoners, and the upper echelons of the kingdom are full of great elves like Parson, so the elven kingdom's policy towards non-elven races has not changed benignly, but it has become more and more severe because of the foreign race's participation in Farouk's rebellion.

The situation on the part of Erathia Emperor ** is also not optimistic, the situation of the empire after Kendall took power is obvious, and the Emperor ** is also an abnormal defeat on the battlefield, although all this cannot be blamed on Kendall, but people will always unconsciously associate Kendall with these bad situations.

"If Her Majesty Catherine had been here, it might not have been like this"

"That's right, I think of how majestic we were when His Majesty Catherine was here."

In Erathia Emperor, similar discussions began to slowly increase, and the emperors began to miss their former Empress Majesty at this time, and even secretly hoped that Her Majesty the Empress could return to the empire and govern again.

Moreover, this trend of thought did not only appear among the soldiers, but also had similar ideas among many generals of the Erathian Empire.
