The Void Empire has officially confirmed its supremacy in the Southern Continent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this is due to the special geographical environment of the southern continent.

At the southern end of the continent, there has always been only a hegemon-level empire such as the Millennium Covenant, but due to geographical environmental factors, the influence of this overlord-level empire has always been limited to a few small and medium-sized kingdoms and principalities adjacent to it, among which the most influential is naturally none other than the Duchy of Lane back then. As for the other countries of the Southern Continent, such as the fascist kingdoms, they have always ignored the millennial Covenant empire.

The reason for this situation is that the distance between the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire and the Emelia Empire is too close, and the slightest disturbance on the border between the two countries cannot hide the reconnaissance arranged by the other party. In addition, the Millennium Covenant Empire needs to allocate a large number of troops to suppress the Abyss Path that may recur, which always gives people the illusion that the Millennium Covenant Empire is weak, so its influence has always been difficult to radiate to the entire Southern Continent.

Compared with the Millennial Covenant Empire, the other empires on the Miracle Continent - let's ignore the other two empires, just talk about the other four ancient empires that are as famous as the Millennial Covenant Empire: the Maggie Empire and the St. Joels Empire have divided the interests of the entire Northern Continent, and with the existence of these two hegemon-level empires, it is difficult for any country to stand out in the Northern Continent; Because of the military god in charge, the military ability of the Chainas Empire can be called the most in the whole continent, and it has always been a well-deserved top overlord in the Eastern Continent, even if it is another country with the reality of an empire, it does not dare to challenge the authority of the Chainas Empire; As for the Emilia Empire, it can block the invasion of many orcs, elves, and dwarves from the outer continent by itself, and its reputation as the overlord of the Western Continent is also well-deserved.

So, fundamentally, it is not for nothing that the presence of the thousand-year-old Covenant empire is thin.

And this is also the situation that the man on the pure white throne wants to change now. It's a pity that before his plan was completely completed, he encountered Lake who opened the door of bones and directly launched an undead invasion, and now the entire eastern border of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire can almost be said to be a mess.

With such various opportunities, the Void Duchy, which had already unified the entire tribes of the Barbarian Land, was naturally impossible to miss. Of course, the core foundation of being able to complete the imperial dream is still because of the existence of Tungsten Ramo, Kokire, and Alexis, if it weren't for the existence of these three super powers, it would take at least twenty years for Sean to turn the Void Principality into a Void Empire.

If nothing else, the Cinnas Empire, which annexed the fascist kingdom and caused the border to live next to the Void Empire, was not a kind neighbor.

In any case, the Void Empire would never dare to launch an expeditionary force plan at will. After all, pulling out half of the empire's troops in one breath is equivalent to dropping a large piece of meat in front of the lion of the Chainas Empire, luring the other party to eat it - so the plan from the beginning was to end this expedition plan before the Chainas Empire completely digested the fascist kingdom.

Of course, the original purpose of the Void Empire Expeditionary Force was to divert the internal contradictions and conflicts of the Void Empire.

But no matter how many actions and measures are taken by them, they cannot completely reverse the essence. If you really want to solve the internal problems of the Void Empire today, there are only two solutions: one is to find Sean; The second is to elect a new emperor - but in fact, except for those who don't know the situation at all, William, Hela, Neil, Cecilia and others know very well that if anyone wants to become the emperor of the Void Empire at this time, then Alexis and others will never agree.

And the Void Empire, which has lost the protection of these three super powerhouses, can it still be called the Void Empire?

At this time, the Void Expeditionary Force had already arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Gnes - the march along the way, the Void Empire Expeditionary Force did not have any evasive marching routes, except for those heavenly trenches that could not be directly crossed, the Void Expeditionary Force's marching route was a straight line leading directly to the Duchy of Rembert. The kingdoms and principalities that will pass along the way are all negotiated by a diplomatic team led by Diana, in exchange for military access at a certain price.

In fact, with the Void Empire's current hegemony in the Southern Continent, it is naturally possible to force it through without paying the price, after all, there are really few countries that can compete with the Void Empire. And even if there is strength to be able to call the fight, they will never compete with such a vengeful army, because this is a thing that is not beneficial to the country.

It's just that in order to take into account the reputation of the continent - this is also the responsibility and image of the hegemon-level empire, so the Void Empire also has to come up with some benefits as compensation.

Of course, for those who dare to refuse to let the Void Empire pass, whether they really want to swear national sovereignty and refuse to let the Void Empire pass, or to obtain greater benefits, the Void Empire's response is very simple: run over directly.

After the main forces of the four kingdoms were wiped out by the army of the Void Empire, this naturally saved Diana a lot of trouble in her diplomatic negotiations.

But for now, the Void Empire's expeditionary force still had to temporarily stop outside the border of the Kingdom of Gnes.

The Kingdom of Gnes, as a vassal state on the side of the Pro-St. Joels Empire, this country has the top ten knights in the Northern Continent - although the ranking is not very high, hovering between ninth and tenth all year round, but in terms of combat power alone, it is a relatively powerful one, after all, it is a knight order that has been personally guided by the head of the Pure White Winged Knights.

The reason why the ranking level has not been high is purely because the knight arrangement in the northern continent is not like that of other continents, as long as the knights have been certified by the knights' guild, they can participate in the ranking. The ranking of the knights here has always been limited to a scale of 1,000, which means that if you want to participate in the assessment and evaluation of the Knight Guild, you can only conduct a test of 1,000 people at most.

The Holy Order of Gnes, on the other hand, has a full strength of 50,000 men - this is why the Holy Order of Gnes has not been able to squeeze into the higher ranks.

Hela didn't want to go toe-to-toe with the Holy Order of Gnes, because according to the information she had gathered, the kingdom of Gnes had less than 400,000 troops in the country, and only 150,000 troops that could become regular troops, and the remaining 250,000 included logistics, baggage, reserves, and so on. In addition to the 50,000 troops of the Holy Knights of Gnes, the strength of the second echelon of the Kingdom of Gnes is only 100,000.

But in the countless battlefield deductions that Hela envisioned, if he wanted to completely swallow the 50,000 troops of the Holy Knights of Genies, Hela would need to pay at least more than 100,000 troops. Although the expeditionary force has half the strength of half the country, which is 500,000, in fact, in addition to being responsible for protecting the security of logistics and supply routes and reserving some of them as reserve troops, in fact, only 200,000 troops can really be used as front-line operations.

The price of 100,000 troops in one fell swoop - although it was not a total loss in battle, it was still a big loss for Hela. And once it stops here in the Kingdom of Gnes, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the Void Empire - the Chainus Empire is still a fierce beast that is eyeing the tiger, and it is impossible for either Hela or William to ignore the natural threat of this behemoth.

However, the Kingdom of Gnes is also very smart, and they did not explicitly refuse Hela's request for military access, but hoped that Hela would wait for a while on the grounds that a meeting was needed to discuss it. But the kingdom of Gnes did not say exactly how long this period was, which undoubtedly made a message clear: they were trying to stall for time.

But delaying time is inevitably accompanied by certain strategic goals and plans.

What Hela was thinking about at the moment was what Gnes's plan was.

She had already received a message from Cecilia yesterday, saying that the Void Empire had concluded an alliance with the Maggie Empire, and the Maggie Empire would contain the St. Joels Empire from the front, so they could not provide any military support to Hela in the north, but on the other hand, because the Maggie Empire contained the St. Joels Empire from the front, which also made Hela's logistics route on the northern continent do not need to invest too many troops.

In general, it is an increase of 50,000 available troops.

"Wait another three days, if after three days, the Kingdom of Gnes does not give an answer, then we will force an attack." In the battle meeting, Hela could only make such a decision in the end, because before knowing the hole cards of the Kingdom of Gnes, Hela did not want Gnes to continue to delay time, even if it would be quite costly.

"So who's in charge of the Vanguard?" Alfred asked in a deep voice.

"I'll come." Clov spoke directly, and the closer he got to the Duchy of Lembel, the more excited Klov's emotions became, "My army is not an ornament, it has fought less than four times since the expedition, and now it is almost back at home, don't you plan to let me go into battle?" ”

"That's not what I said." Alfred shook his head, he knew Hela and William's plan, after all, in terms of loyalty, Alfred would never be lower than Hela, William, Neil and others, and in terms of seniority, Alfred was a well-deserved third person.

The only pity is that Alfred's potential has been tapped to the extreme.

Because in this world, he did not experience the tragic loss of his beloved daughter, so Alfred failed to break through the shackles of his own potential.

In the game, Alfred was once active in the Northern Continent as the god of revenge war, and his strong personal combat power and ruthless personality once made him a companion for countless players. It is precisely because of this that Sean is so impressed by the character of Alfred that he recruits him to his command in the first place - and in fact, Alfred did bring great help to Sean in the early days.

Although it is a little regrettable that Alfred has not reached the level of powerhouse in the game, if Sean is given a choice, he will naturally prefer to be in this situation. Besides, although Alfred can't become the god of war, at least his talent in leading troops is much stronger than the one in the game, which still proves that Alfred is a rare talent.

Even Clov would not explicitly refute Alfred's words.

Because in today's Void Empire, if you want to find a legion that is as strong as Cecilia's Guard, and is also good at gnawing hard bones, it must be Alfred's Thunder Lion. And in terms of charisma, Alfred is also far more popular than Clov - whether in the military command or in the love of the soldiers at the bottom, Alfred is truly desirable.

"And General Fred, what do you think?" Clov endured the restlessness in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"We've all been fighting together for so long, can't you trust Hela?" Alfred replied evasively, "Hela's strategic layout, even William is full of praise, so we should trust her." We will listen to what she arranges, and Hela will definitely have her intentions. ”

"Hmph." Clov snorted lightly, but since Alfred had already moved out of the friendship card of his old comrades-in-arms, of course he couldn't continue to refute anything, "I don't care about the rest, but I must be the vanguard in the first battle of the gateway to the Duchy of Rembell." ”

"Even if you don't mention it, I'm prepared like this." Hela said indifferently, "After all, this was once the home of you and the Queen, so since you have gone home, you must still knock on this door." ”

Hearing Hela say this, Clov's dissatisfaction gradually subsided: "So what are you going to do on Gnes's side?" …… According to the scouts' report, the opponent's formation has blocked almost all of our advance routes, and if we really want to pass through directly, then we will definitely have to fight a tough battle. ”

"When it comes to dealing with cavalry, only me and Alfred's troops can come in handy."

"Not necessarily." A loud voice broke Clov's speech.

This caused everyone in the room to frown, for the sound was not coming from inside the tent, but from outside.

A man in heavy armor opened the curtain of the tent and walked in without being reported by the soldiers.

Almost everyone's eyes were instantly locked on him.

Hela glanced at Alexis, who was sitting on the side, and saw that she had no expression or reaction, so she put her mind at ease: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for trespassing." The heavily armored man bowed slightly before he spoke, "I'm Anton, Anton. Semys, the leader of the Sanctioner Legion of the God of War Kingdom, has come to support your legion on the orders of the Holy Maiden. ”

"People from the Kingdom of the God of War?"

"What does that mean?"

A cacophony of voices sounded in the tent, and everyone looked puzzled. Because as far as they knew, the Void Empire and this newly powerful kingdom of the Northern Continent should not have any intersection, so everyone present was completely unable to understand what this heavily armored man meant. Of course, more importantly, it is even more disturbing that this man who does not know friend or foe can calmly enter the camp, and the camp has not yet raised any alarm.

"How come I didn't know that our Void Empire and your God of War Kingdom still cooperated?" Hela frowned.

"Because that's Lord Sean's instructions."

"Sean!?"

"When did Lord Sean have such instructions?"

"Have you seen Sean? He's in the Kingdom of God of War now!? ”

Inside the tent, it became even more noisy again.

"Quiet!" Hela let out a deep cry, and everyone fell silent in an instant, but everyone's eyes were full of curiosity as they looked at Anton.

Of course, there are many people in the camp who have only heard of "Sean. Connery, but it's not really clear what kind of person Sean is. After all, when the Void Empire was officially established, Sean was no longer in the Empire, and they only knew some of Sean's legendary deeds.

"Sean in the Kingdom of the God of War?" Hela asked in a deep voice.

"Nope." Anton shook his head.

"Then what do you mean by saying that it was Lord Sean's instructions?"

"Lord Sean once had a deal with the Holy Maiden of our God of War Kingdom, and he said that one day in the future, he would lead his army all the way north and break through the gates of the Principality of Rembel." An Dun said softly, but his flat words still couldn't hide the arrogance revealed in this sentence, "When the time comes, our God of War Kingdom will carry out corresponding support work. …… Now, although the army of your Void Empire going north is not led by Lord Sean, our Holy Maiden still asks me to come to your aid and fulfill the promise I made back then. ”

"You're saying that Lord Sean started laying out a few years ago?" Alfred's face showed a hint of excitement.

Anton glanced back at Alfred, then laughed, "If I'm not wrong, and you heard me right...... Then it can be said that indeed. I haven't seen many wise men, our Holy Maiden of the God of War Kingdom is one, and your Void Empire's Emperor Sean can also be regarded as one. ”

Hela didn't respond immediately, but glanced at Alexis.

Alexis knew what Hela meant by looking at him, so he spoke: "He didn't lie, he did have a trace of Sean on his body, and there was no fishy or murderous aura, at least it could prove that he was not an enemy." ”

"Dear Lord Alexis, I am indeed not an enemy." Anton bowed to Alexis, "Of course, if you still don't believe me, I have a letter here, which the Holy Maiden has entrusted me to pass on, saying that it can prove my credibility. ”

Soon, the letter reached Hela's hands.

There was nothing substantial written in the letter, just an innocuous sentence to prove the settlement. The identity of Semys. But what really made Hela have to pay attention to it was the seal at the end of the letter - Hela had read such a seal in the relevant documents of the Void Realm, and it was also the seal that William asked Hela to remember, because the meaning of this seal was that the owner of the seal's identity was a person from the Void Empire.

"You mean...... This letter was written by your goddess of war, Lord Emily? Hela suddenly realized that since she had taken refuge with Sean, she never seemed to have seriously observed this lord, who was kind, close to the people, and always boldly delegated power to his subordinates.

"Yes, it was written by the Holy Maiden herself, and I watched from the sidelines." Anton opened his mouth and replied, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"No, no." Hela shook her head, "This letter does prove the truth of what you just said, and I can now believe that you are here to help." …… With the assistance of the six gods of the God of War Kingdom, I believe that our operation will be much smoother this time. ”

"I can't guarantee anything else, but the Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Gnes will definitely not be a threat." An Tu smiled confidently, "The Legion of the Sanctioners under my command is a legion created specifically to deal with this kind of infidels. …… So, the knights of the Kingdom of Gnes will be dealt with by me, and you only need to deal with the others. ”

"In that case, then I wish your Excellency's legion good luck."

"Each other!" Anton laughed and hammered the breastplate, then quickly turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
