In fact, the matter of the third counteroffensive war was put on the agenda by the three major alliances as early as after the appearance of the flying demon, but it has not been implemented.

Because the scale of this kind of war is not a battle of one city, nor is it a war of alliances, the scale of this level of war is so large that it cannot even be compared to the war between the Sky Alliance and Kafka's empire, and if you want to launch such a world-class war, you must be fully and long-term prepared.

In fact, the three major alliances have been preparing for this in the past year, for example, the planning of the security zone is one of the preparations, and for example, the three major alliances have been actively expanding their armies in the past year, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are also being produced all the time, and even the plan for Rocky is one of the preparations, and the Magic Energy Research Institute and the Kafka Empire have united other forces to put pressure on Rocky in order to obtain rune technology before the war.

But even so, there is still a considerable gap between the three alliances and the real ability to start a war, which is also a matter of no choice, the size of the three alliances is too large, although the resources and so on are almost unlimited, but it will take a long time to make the entire alliance fully operational.

In the beginning, people didn't care about it, because everyone felt that time was still abundant, that people had plenty of time to prepare, and that they were going to war only when they were well prepared.

But the demon's attack this time was a wake-up call for everyone, making everyone fully aware of one thing, that is, everyone's time was running out, and the demon obviously didn't plan to give people time to prepare before taking the lead.

In this case, except for some city lords or forces whose strength is too small to be able to step onto the world stage, all capable Sky Cities or Alliances have begun to prepare for the upcoming big war, because all of them know that once the third counteroffensive war breaks out, it will be a full-scale war that will sweep the whole world, the sky and the ground, and no one will be able to stay out of it at that time, whether active or passive, they will have to participate in this war.

So instead of being forced to be involved in the war, it is better to take the initiative to join the war, so that at least you can still have a certain initiative in the war, and more importantly, everyone clearly knows that the counteroffensive war has never been a war purely against the devil, and the two counteroffensive wars in history are also two major purges, and the pattern of the sky at the end of each war will change dramatically, some will rise, some will fall, no one wants to be the one who falls after the war, everyone hopes that they can rise with this war。

The same thing is the same with Rocky.

Although he didn't know much about the counteroffensive war, the only understanding he had was from books, and some things, such as the impact of the counteroffensive war on the sky pattern, were naturally not talked about in books, and he didn't know at all.

But this is all in the past, and now Lodge knows this very well, because there are too many people around him who know about the war, such as Agnier, as a living fossil, Arnier personally experienced and participated in the first two wars, and his understanding of the war can be called a textbook level, and the impact of the war is extremely clear, and the same is true for Orton and others, they basically participated in the last time, that is, the second counteroffensive war, and they are clear about all aspects of the war, and the most critical person is Athena.

Athena's understanding of the counteroffensive war is more detailed than that of Aniye, although she has not personally participated in the war, but she has a comprehensive study of the two wars that broke out before, and has done a detailed analysis of all aspects of the two wars, so she has taught Rocky, and Rocky's understanding of the big war has simply increased exponentially.

According to Athena, the first counteroffensive broke out in the year 010 of the Sky Era, that is, after ten years of people moving to the sky, after a full decade of development and adjustment, the people at that time had come out of the haze of land occupation, and due to technological innovation, a series of technologies such as Sky City to Sky Demon Armor to Floating Ship have been comprehensively developed, which made people at that time have the idea of retaking the land and are full of confidence.

There is no doubt that the purpose of the first counter-offensive war was the purest one, when the people had just lost the land, and the idea of retaking the land was the most urgent, but the result of this war was extremely disastrous, and the people returned with a crushing defeat in this great war.

Thinking about it carefully, this result seems to be nothing surprising, after all, people have only fled to the sky for ten years, although they have recovered some of their vitality, but the impact of losing the land is still there, and more importantly, although the sky city and the air demon battle armor and the floating ship and other technologies have developed greatly, they are far less mature than today, so after the start of this war, people have hardly won the battle, and they have been defeated by demons all the way until the end of the war.

The first counteroffensive was a failure, but the defeat of this war was extremely significant, it made everyone realize that it was not easy to retake the land, and it was impossible for people to do it with their ability at that time, so everyone calmed down and recuperated and recovered with all their might, and prepared for the second counteroffensive war.

Of course, in addition to making people realize their own shortcomings, the defeat of the Great War also produced an unexpected add-on, that is, the change of pattern, you must know that when people just moved to the sky, many rules and traditions on land were also brought to the sky, but with the defeat and end of the first counteroffensive war, these products of the old era were shattered together, and the pattern of the sky changed dramatically.

As for the second counteroffensive war, it took place a full fifty years later, after fifty years of cultivation and preparation, people launched the second counteroffensive war in the sky era 060, this war can be called the largest battle since the demon invasion, even more than the war of extinction that year, the number of participating in the sky city reached as many as 10,000, and the number of troops participating in the battle reached millions, and not only the people in the sky participated in this battle, but also the abandoned people led by the three holy cities also participated in the battle.

Due to years of preparation, the result of this great war is much better than the first time, people even occupied a large area of land for a time, but helplessly, this war finally failed, people finally failed to drive the demon away, and as long as the demon is still on land, then even if it temporarily occupies the advantage, but in the face of a steady stream of demons still have to give up all the results and return to the sky.

However, this battle was not all for nothing, at least this time it really hurt the demons, so that the demons were greatly reduced, and this led to the 'peaceful coexistence' of the following decades, and the land industry and base, all of which benefited from the second counteroffensive war.

Similarly, the pattern of the sky after the Second Counteroffensive War was once again purged, and the three major alliances that now dominate the sky are all rising stars from the end of the Second Counteroffensive War, and have been dominating the sky since their rise.

"Why?"

When Athena finished talking about the second counteroffensive war, Lodge asked puzzledly: "Since the three major alliances only rose after the last counteroffensive war, they should know best that if the third major war breaks out, new forces will definitely rise, and they are likely to be purged, why do the three major alliances still start this great war?"

"Because they had to. ”

Glancing at Rocky, Athena spoke.
