Episode 9 Shadow Shadow (I)
As shown by the Blue Star Country's use of satellite exploration in the early years and various legends of the Terran Continent, there are a large number of countries and forces distributed in the vast area of the Terran Continent that the Blue Star Country has not yet had time to explore. And Middle Earth is one of the most densely populated areas in the Terran continent and the most developed Xiuzhen civilization.
The most powerful state in Middle-earth was the Golden Horde. This superpower, which rose on the back of the horse spirit beast thousands of years ago, rules a land that is even more vast than Dongyanzhou, with as many as four or five billion ordinary people, and more than tens of millions of cultivators in the country, nearly 10 strong people in the upper realm in the country, and millions of cultivators, which can be described as a first-class superpower on the Terran continent. Around the Golden Horde, there were dozens of small and medium-sized states and a large number of foreign races, which were not as powerful as the Golden Horde, but they paid tribute to the Golden Horde every year, maintained friendly relations with them, and often attacked each other, and the Golden Horde played the role of mediator in them. In general, for thousands of years, Middle-earth has maintained a peaceful situation, with only occasional conflicts with the Terran continent in the west and the Mulan grassland in the north, but after all, it is a superpower, and no matter how these conflicts break out, they have not affected the strength and status of its great power.
However, more than 50 years ago, the situation in Middle-earth began to undergo some strange changes, many small countries successively coups and turmoil, the Xiuzhen royal family that was originally in charge of the government of a country was suddenly replaced by other nobles in the country overnight, and caused various violent riots and purges. These turmoil began in a small country in the northernmost part and gradually spread to the entire northern part of Middle-earth, and in just a few years, more than a dozen countries in the northern part of Midway changed hands. And this trend of coups continued to spread to the south, and soon nearly two-thirds of the countries surrounding the Golden Horde were experiencing similar upheavals.
The Golden Horde was originally unimpressed by the internal political chaos of these countries, after all, the Xiuzhen realm was originally like this, the weak eat the strong, you live or die, and it is not uncommon for the Xiuzhen royal family to be replaced by other nobles or powerful forces in their own country. In the case of the Golden Horde, as long as the newly formed regime recognized the Golden Horde's leadership of Middle-earth, it was sufficient to do so without harming its own interests.
But unexpectedly, after the gradual calmdown, these countries united with each other and formed an alliance called Asura, and they collectively sang a counterpoint to the Golden Horde. Not only did they dissolve their alliance with the Golden Horde and not recognize their leadership, but they also formed a joint army to fight against the Golden Horde.
In the face of this sudden upheaval, the top brass of the Golden Horde was angry and was about to consider whether it was time to launch a large army to conquer these countries, when suddenly there was turmoil in the country. A few originally inconspicuous nobles actually united with some side royal families, and took advantage of the fact that several masters of the upper realm could not withdraw, and secretly attacked the northern capital of the Golden Horde, Popang, and wreaked havoc. These nobles and royal families were originally extremely weak, but they suddenly increased their strength overnight, and even the powerhouses of the upper realm suddenly appeared, and even the Praetorian Guards were defeated by them.
Then, more than a dozen counties in the northern part of the Golden Horde suddenly declared their independence, and they formed a rebel alliance led by rebel royalty and nobles to launch an attack on the Golden Horde army. At this juncture, the Asura Alliance announced an alliance with the rebels and joined the attack on the Golden Horde.
Faced with this situation, the top brass of the Golden Horde did not panic much at first, after all, the strong foundation of the Golden Horde was in the central and southern regions of the country, most of the territory was still under the control of the royal family, and the army of one million Xiuzhen was even more intact, and compared with the rebels and the Asura Alliance army, the balance of strength was still superior. The Golden Horde immediately united with other nations that remained loyal to it and launched a counterattack against the rebels and the Asura coalition. Battles broke out between the two sides in the northern part of the Golden Horde and the surrounding small states, fighting fiercely with each other.
To the surprise of the Golden Horde's top brass, although the Asura coalition was only a newly formed army, its strength was not weaker than that of the Golden Horde. I don't know how these enemies developed quietly in the past, there are tens of thousands of strong people above the infant realm in the army, and there are also strong people in the upper realm, which is completely a superpower army. This battle is more than 20 years in one fight.
But just over a decade ago, the Golden Horde suddenly found that their opponents had changed. The enemies who fought with them were originally people from the countries of Middle-earth, but some extremely special enemies gradually appeared on the battlefield. These enemies are cultivating extremely pure demonic skills, all of them are not bad, and they are elusive and bloodthirsty and brutal on the battlefield. Every time they captured a city, they would carry out brutal massacres and bloody blood rituals, and even infiltrated all parts of the Golden Horde in large numbers, launching all kinds of assassinations and sabotage. Later, these unexpected enemies began to appear as formed armies, and the Asura coalition and rebels gradually became vassal armies of these enemies, and under their leadership, they launched a fierce attack on the Golden Horde. These terrible enemies call themselves demons.
The appearance of the demon army has completely changed the balance of the battlefield in Middle-earth, and the originally powerful Golden Horde has greatly reduced its national strength after years of war attrition, while the offensive of the demons has become stronger and stronger, and there are even demon powerhouses who have cultivated in the virtual realm to make a move, and the number exceeds that of the Golden Horde. Under the powerful attack of the demons, the army of the Golden Horde was defeated one after another, and cities fell into the hands of the demons one after another, losing a large part of the country.
Three years ago, the demon army and the vassal army launched a general attack on the capital of the Golden Horde, and the Golden Horde also gathered the same number of troops to defend the capital, and the two sides broke out in an extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle. In this battle, the demon clan not only dispatched millions of elite demon troops, but also sent more than a dozen virtual realm powerhouses in a row, and even a true realm powerhouse made a move. However, the Golden Horde only has one True Realm powerhouse and five Void Realm powerhouses, and the difference in strength between the two sides makes the balance of the battlefield gradually tilt towards the demon side.
After a year of difficult defense, most of the protective shields were finally broken by the demons, and millions of demon armies frantically slaughtered into the city. Unwilling to give in, the Golden Horde army engaged in fierce street battles with the demons, but was finally outnumbered and had to withdraw from the city. In this battle, the Golden Horde army suffered more than one million casualties, and even the powerhouses of the Void Realm fell, and the tens of millions of residents in the city all fell into the hands of the demons, becoming victims of the blood sacrifice of the demons.
After the loss of the capital, the army of the Golden Horde was torn apart and fled in all directions, and the remnants of the forces had to retreat to the southwestern region of Middle-earth, relying on some natural dangers to barely block the attack of the demons. Prince George, who had participated in the battle to defend Dadu, broke away from the large army during the retreat and was forced to break through to the east with his troops.
This prince is also considered strong, under the siege and interception of nearly 100,000 troops of the demon race, he resisted tenaciously, led his troops through several eastern countries controlled by the demons, and continued to fight fiercely with the pursuing demon army along the way, after more than a year of continuous escape, he actually fled to Dongyanzhou, which was tens of thousands of miles away, and finally came to Linda with a letter of distress from the Golden Horde.
However, after a year of fleeing, Prince George's troops have been reduced from 10,000 to more than 200 now, and all the others have died at the hands of the frantically chasing demons. The prince himself was also seriously injured in the struggle with a demon realm powerhouse, and when he got rid of this demon and fled to the border of Dongyanzhou, he finally couldn't help but collapse.
After listening to Princess Susan's intermittent narration, Linda was extremely shocked. It turned out that the demon clan that induced the war between Dongyan Continent and Tiannan Continent had already extended its demon hand to all parts of the Terran continent. If it weren't for the fact that the direction of the demon race's main attack was Middle Earth Continent, and most of the troops were dispatched, and there was no time to take care of other places, I am afraid that the Blue Star Kingdom would not be able to easily eliminate the power of the demon race in Dongyan Continent and Tiannan Continent, so as to dominate these two continents, and it was even possible that it would have been struggling to support under the cruel invasion of the demon race, and it would have survived.
"It turns out that your country has suffered such a catastrophe! This is really shocking! This demon clan is really too cruel and hateful! Speaking of which, our Blue Alliance has just fought with the demon clan. ”
After Lin Da pondered for a while, he slowly introduced the situation of the struggle between Dongyan Continent and Tiannan Continent and the demons to Susan and Prince George, of course, he also hid some secrets about the rise of the Blue Star Kingdom and the elimination of the demons by nuclear weapons, but he only depicted in detail the characteristics and conditions of the demons that appeared on these two continents. is the same as the demon clan that Susan said, whether it is the demon clan that appeared in Middle-earth Continent, or the demon clan that appeared in Dongyan Continent and Tiannan Continent, they all came from the same force.
"Where did these demons come from?Did demons appear on the Terran continent before?" Wittman on the side couldn't help but interject.
Princess Susan shook her head and said, "No, since the Terran Continent has been recorded in history, there has never been a mysterious race like the Demon Race, and even several small continents such as the Beamon Continent outside the Terran Continent have lived in alien races, and there has never been a race like the Demon Race. It seems that they have only suddenly emerged from the north in the last hundred years. ”
No wonder there was a turmoil on the Mulan prairie more than two hundred years ago, and many tribes were forced to migrate from the depths of the grassland to the edges, it turned out that it was because of the appearance of the demon race!" Hearing this, George of Yan Kingdom suddenly remembered something.
"What do you mean? There was a riot on the Mullan Prairie?" Wittman asked in surprise, and Linda and Susan looked at George with solemn expressions at the same time.
