More than 1,000 years ago, after the unification of the Eastern Continent by the ancient Hill King Yiwan Sukaranna, the Eastern Continent entered a period of peace and prosperity, that is, from the 13th to the 28th year of the Lepelian calendar. Unfortunately, this period of prosperity was extremely short-lived, lasting only about 15 years.

After 28 years of Lei Peilian's calendar, Yi Wan devoted almost all his energy to going to the East China Sea to find "the place of immortality at the end of the world". However, in the end, not only did he fail to realize his wish for immortality, but instead caused an unprecedented catastrophe to the Eastern Continent, causing the glorious empire he created to quickly decline. Subsequently, Yi Wan also passed away in the 37th year of the Lepeilian calendar at the age of 60.

After the death of Yiwan Sukaranna, the empire of Gushir quickly split up and was divided among the nobles, and there was no unity for more than a thousand years. The history of the Eastern Continent is actually a history of wars accumulated by the founding and collapse of one kingdom after another. More than 100 years ago, there were 25 countries in the Eastern Continent, but now there are 17.

Among the seventeen independent states are five large and twelve small. These countries are respectful on the surface, but there is a dark tide in private. Therefore, it is actually quite easy to cause disputes between the countries of the Eastern Continent. Due to the frequent occurrence of wars, the innovation of various technologies and the development of weapons have made people quickly lose their reverence for nature. In order to strengthen their military power, the monarchs sought more resources, constantly expanded their arsenals, exploited mineral deposits, and appropriated forests and wilderness that had been open to the people in the past. Digging underground deposits has caused great damage to the earth, and large areas of forest have been sacrificed to become fuel for smelting. They then quickly abandoned the depleted mines and moved to other areas to continue destroying new land, which in the long run led to a growing scarcity of land resources and a deterioration of the environment.

But even so, the overall strength of the Eastern Continent should not be underestimated, because after all, it is the birthplace of civilization in the world of Lepeilian, and the so-called hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, which is the best portrayal of the current situation of the Eastern Continent.

Comparatively speaking, the Sava people of the Western Continent still retain many ancient traditions, and even today's weapons are no different from the hand-held weapons used when they fought with the ancient Hill king more than a thousand years ago. In other words, the Savoyard people have been focusing on forging simple weapons such as long knives, short knives, spears, daggers, and lassoes for more than a thousand years. Therefore, in addition to the forest resources that have been destroyed due to the expansion of pastures, the mineral resources of the western continent are still abundant.

In the past hundred years, since the discovery of the benefits of navigation, the covetousness of the Lepelian people of the Eastern Continent for the Western Continent has become even more obvious. However, due to the fact that the countries of the Eastern Continent have been monitoring and containing each other for many years, although no one dares to make a blatant move, they have already been gearing up in secret. Every country has ambitions and worries, because if anyone dares to take the lead in attacking the western continent, it will inevitably be suppressed by other countries, or even divided under the pretext of separation. However, they were not willing to give up the huge Western Continent, so everyone was in a stalemate for many years.

Until recently, a news came back from the Western Continent, which made the entire Eastern Continent suddenly boil, and every country began to move. And the person who sent back the news was none other than the Lepelian people who had luckily escaped from the Western Continent and had been reluctantly let go by the Fiji pirates in the Western Sea when the sandstorm was approaching not long ago. Their exaggerated descriptions of the Savoyard people who suffered the sandstorm disaster spread throughout the Eastern Continent, causing all Lepelians to think that the Savoyard people in the Western Continent were in a state of collapse and unable to protect themselves.

This great "good news" made the countries of the Eastern Continent ecstatic, prompting them to put forward the idea of joining hands to carve up the Western Continent, and believed that this was a God-given opportunity that could not be missed. Of course, this kind of partition proposition was put forward very reluctantly, after all, the "good news" had already spread all over the Eastern Continent, the ambitions of various countries were exposed, and "sharing" was imperative.

But among the ecstatic Lepelians, there was one exception: Noro Kingler. He had visited King Sava as an emissary, and was the titular cousin of Chahu, and the current ruler of the Gingler family, the highest-ranking and most powerful nobleman in Nuland, one of the five great powers of the Eastern Continent.

According to Norro Gingele, the people of the Eastern Continent imagined the situation in the Western Continent "too optimistic", and although he had only a handful of contacts with the King of Savoy, he was already impressed by the frank king. Noro didn't think that a single sandstorm disaster would bring the mighty King of Sava to his knees, not to mention that there was a group of aliens in the Western Continent who were difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Norro vigorously opposed Nuland's hasty follow. Of course, Noro's decision was also opposed by the other nobles of Nuland, but the powerful head of the Jingele family eventually used his power over the royal family to force the greedy nobles to submit and completely dispel their delusions of planning to join forces with other countries.

As a result, Nuland, as one of the five great powers of the Eastern Continent, withdrew from the alliance's initial plan to carve up the Western Continent. The absence of a powerful competitor is undoubtedly very advantageous for other countries, especially the remaining four large countries, and naturally no one will oppose it. But there are also some small countries that are worried about this, because the leader of the Eastern Continent Alliance to carve up the Western Continent this time is Herry Landi.

Herilandi is the most extensive of the five great powers in the Eastern Continent. In the past 100 years, Herilandi has annexed a total of four countries, and it is still showing a gradual growth trend, causing more and more panic among the surrounding countries, and causing the barely maintained peace in the eastern continent to be precarious. The friendship forged three hundred years ago against the aliens is now dead in name only.

As far as the current situation in the Eastern Continent is concerned, in terms of military strength, the only country that can compete with Herilandi is probably only Nuland, but Nuland chose to withdraw from this alliance war. Most of the participating countries in the alliance are motivated by ambition, but there are also a few small countries that choose to follow them with trepidation because they are afraid of the power of Herilandi, and contribute to this purpose.

In the turbulent Eastern Continent, there is another country that has to be mentioned, because this country has decisively rejected the invitation of the alliance from the very beginning, and has neither promised to contribute food nor strength, let alone hope for the so-called "war results". This country is the small peninsula country of Fodorus, located in the southeast of the Eastern Continent.

Geographically, Verdorus is far away from Herilandi, which is located in the central region of the Eastern Continent, and is separated by five countries. If Herilandi wanted to swallow Phodorus, he had to destroy at least three of the five nations that stood between them, unless he sent his navy to the southeast coast to fight. This is probably one of the reasons why the small nation of Ferdorus would boldly reject the alliance led by Herilandi, but it is not the whole reason.

The rules for the post-war division of the Allied forces advocated by Herilandi seem fair and enticing, at least on the surface. This is because the rules state that the country with the largest overall military strength will also receive the greatest benefits in the end, based on the number of troops participating in the war and the number of warships of the Allied countries. By this extrapolation, the benefits for countries with less effort will naturally be diminished.

As a result, apart from Nuland and Fodorus, among the fifteen countries that participated in the war, the number of troops and ships dispatched by the first power, Herilandi, ranked third from the bottom. Herilandi's explanation for this is that as the largest country in the Eastern Continent, it already has a large enough territory and wealth, and for the sake of fairness, it is willing to cede most of its interests to other weaker countries.

But what are the facts? Some people are just able to use the power in their hands and blatantly talk nonsense. Because they know that those who are cowardly and blindly follow simply do not have the courage to stand up and expose lies.

The earliest alliance of the countries of the Eastern Continent was created to fight together against the aliens. Three hundred years ago, due to the alien people scattered in the Eastern Continent, they gradually hid their tracks, and avoided the sight of the Lepelian people to the greatest extent. Therefore, the role of the Eastern Continental Alliance Treaty gradually changed from that time on, and it became a pretext for countries to contain each other, as well as a favorable tool for colluding with each other to compete for resources and divide up weak and small countries.

Until today, three hundred years later, in the name of the Alliance, Herilandi has led the war to divide the Western Continent. Although a large number of the seventeen existing countries in the Eastern Continent were founded after the collapse of the alliance, some were only a few decades old.

The reason why the Eastern Continent Allies made the decision to carve up the Western Continent so quickly was not entirely out of blind confidence, at least they themselves thought so. Because, as the birthplace of civilization in the world of Lei Peilian, the people of the Eastern Continent do have extraordinary wisdom and creativity, as well as deep combat experience.

This intelligent and cruel people have mastered the world's most advanced metallurgical technology and medical skills. In the history of more than 1,000 years of continuous warfare against aliens, they used their ingenuity to constantly invent and create many powerful weapons to arm themselves. Moreover, they also had a large number of soldiers and slaves. In the Eastern Continent, slaves were generally remnants and criminals of defeated countries, while ordinary soldiers were mostly descendants of slaves. Only the aristocracy enjoyed the control of land, wealth, and the army, which was one of the main reasons why they were not afraid of war, and even advocated it. Because, it is not usually the nobles themselves who are sacrificed in war. It is precisely because of this that these rentiers, who live on real estate income, must firmly occupy the right to rule the land in order to maintain their advantage.

Although the overall area of the Eastern Continent was not as vast as that of the Western Continent, the fertile land and abundant products in the early days prompted them to develop into the world's earliest agrarian society in the world, with sufficient surplus food, which allowed them to breed more people and cultivate many other talents. As a result, the Leppelen people are also outstanding in terms of architecture and craftsmanship. They did not hesitate to squander the resources of the Eastern Continent, and as always, they forcibly plundered the wealth of nature, and constantly built countless magnificent palaces, magnificent temples, exquisite clothes, and colorful living utensils for themselves. But the diversity of religious beliefs and folk cultures, as well as the environmental burden of population growth, sowed the evil fruits of war – another reality behind the glorious civilization that the Lepelian people are proud of.
