Chapter 543: The Midsummer of That Year
In the midsummer of 17,963 years on the mainland, the entire continent was shrouded in the danger of the abyssal frenzy, and it was also panicked by the arms movements of the major powers.
And the sudden loss of contact with the Abyss Exploration Group has once again exacerbated this point.
Now, even countries other than the three major countries of the continent have begun to amass troops in the direction closer to the abyss. Everyone is afraid and waiting for the abyssal crisis that may be coming.
However, the only exception is the three major countries of the mainland themselves.
Whether it is the Papal States, which are planning the entire continental turmoil, or the empire and federation, which have already vaguely gotten the news, the top three countries in the continent now seem to be doing their own things that have nothing to do with the abyssal frenzy.
"Whether it is the Papal States or the Empire, if any of them wants to directly raid the Federation, they must only do so through the edge of the abyss. ”
The Federation is located in the fortress on the outer side of the abyss, and as the first to notice the loss of the exploration team, the knight captain Kaz has now received the latest secret information.
And the content of this secret report also happens to be about the Federation's defense of the other two countries.
In fact, in light of the information he once knew, from the perspective of an active federal officer, it is not difficult for Katz to guess the real concern of the federal leadership.
So now, Kaz, while reorganizing the troops that came to reinforce, also looked extremely awe-inspiring, looking deeply at the direction of the abyss outside the fortress.
In a way, the distribution of countries on the Parelloa continent is actually extremely strange.
Because of the importance and harmfulness of the abyss, although most of the kingdoms are distributed in the shape of orange petals, only the three most powerful kingdoms can really border the edge of the abyss.
However, it is precisely because of this strange distribution that although the ontology of the three major countries on the continent is isolated by countless small countries, only at the edge of the abyss bordered by the three sides, the three major countries have to maintain an extremely close distance from each other under the attraction of the abyss.
In other words, if any of the three kingdoms now tries to attack one of the remaining countries...... Then the only route it can choose is through the edge of the abyss.
To this day, though, the Federation has not completely erased suspicion of the Empire.
But presumably, if the Empire is also facing the same situation as the Federation, then as they are also unable to determine the purpose of the conspiracy, they may have to make the same choice as the Federation.
As long as the clouds that envelop the continent still do not show the thunder behind it...... Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, they can only do their best to defend themselves, and silently wait for the arrival of that great change.
......
In June of the 17,963rd year of the continental calendar, the great change that everyone was waiting for finally came to this continent as promised.
The Papal States, which single-handedly created this apocalyptic rumor, finally took action at their target when the entire continent was filled with uneasiness.
The crusade of the Papal States, which had been secretly tempered for nearly ten years, accompanied by the number of Lijiao Shenji Battalions, which far exceeded the imagination of others, launched an attack on two different countries at the same time from the north and south ends of the abyss of the brain hole.
Although before this, the Empire had secretly assembled troops, and even the Imperial Dragoons had been transferred out one after another.
Even under the clouds, the Federation allocated armaments, grain and grass in advance, and sent the four major corps of the Wind Forest Volcano to the fortress bordering the abyss in batches.
But whether it is the Empire or the Federation, under the premise that they still do not know the piece of the puzzle, it is obvious that neither side can guess the same thing:
The true purpose of the Papal States is undoubtedly more than just to be at the top of the world.
Their real ambition is to completely annex the whole world.
So under this miscalculation of the core purpose, while the good federation of empires was silent, the Papal States suddenly slashed their sharp blades into the rest of the kingdoms that were even more at a loss.
A war of aggression that engulfs the entire continent cannot be stopped after all, under the misjudgment of the Empire and the Federation...... Suddenly on the continent of Parilloa!
......
Bordering the Papal States on the north side of the continent is the Kingdom of France, one of the remnants of the Five Ancient Empires.
But just as the marriage power represented by Bastion's family, in the eyes of the Kingdom of France, it has long lost its ambition to rise again, and it will naturally be the most docile ally of the Papal States.
Therefore, under the apocalyptic rumors that permeated the continent, the Kingdom of Frans did not have too many worries at all. He had already hoarded almost all of his country's forces on the border near the abyss, to ensure that the catastrophe from within the abyss could not really threaten the kingdom itself.
But it was also in this situation, at the same time that the Kingdom of France completely relaxed its border defenses.
The crusades of the Papal States, which were infested like torrents, directly tore through the defense system in the west of the Kingdom of France at an unexpected and terrifying speed, and rushed towards the capital of France.
All covenants are so fragile in the face of the blade.
And all the confusion and incomprehension also turned into a void sigh in the blood and fire.
In just three days, the completely unstoppable elite crusaders had successfully arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of France, and without hesitation, they arrogantly planted the crusader battle flag, which symbolized the humiliation of the kingdom, at the very top of the royal city.
Even before the kingdom's troops stationed at the border actually retreated from the royal capital, the Papal States had already announced the complete occupation of the Kingdom of France with sharp and brazen clarity.
As a result, the lonely kingdom troops also turned into rootless duckweed in an instant, and it seemed that they could only wait for the Crusaders to crush everything and completely slaughter or co-opt them.
The Kingdom of France, an ancient kingdom that has existed in this world for tens of thousands of years, was suddenly transformed into the ghost of history by the lightning raid of the Papal States.
From now on, there will be no more independent kingdoms on this continent called Frans.
Rather, it was a term called the Franconian Territory that succeeded in replacing the name of the kingdom as the most tragic and humiliating name of the region.
In the piece of the puzzle that the Papal States successfully obtained, under the forging of Bastião ten years after taking power, the current Crusades of the Papal States have long been turned into the sharpest butcher's knife in the world.
And the butcher's knife trembles...... It's the whole world called the Paleloa Continent!
