Chapter 189
From the beginning of April 1260 in Karadia, the villages near the base of the Fourth Legion were gradually swept by a mysterious force, and in just over half a month, most of the settlements in the southern pastures were swept away, from Emilin and Tosdell to New Tespordin, and Irinhada, and the inhabitants were nowhere to be found, and the villages were burned to the ground.

When most of the settlements in the southern pastures near Parabun were swept away, this mysterious phenomenon actually appeared in the vicinity of Chanda, thousands of miles away, first McCann, the closest to Chanda, who went to the village overnight, and then Sambuga, Rebachi, and Udinillad, near Chanda. Many outsiders had been in these villages the week before, and when they returned, all that was left of these villages were empty houses, some of which were still on the table with dishes and chopsticks, and it seemed that many people were still eating, and then disappeared into thin air.
The same thing happened again when people talked about it, this time near Fort Tihrog in the Nord Kingdom, which had long since fallen to the hands of One Piece Nabal. Unlike the previous two times, this time many Nords knew what was happening, and in the dark night before dawn, a mysterious armed man with a large axe and shield broke into the village, dragged each family out of their bed, and pushed them into the wagon without saying a word. Many people who did not know the truth thought that there were thieves who had washed the village, and while screaming Nabal's name for help, they jumped into the well. Although they were all stopped in the end, their village was still shattered by brutal violence.
Someone saw the One Piece Nabal, who everyone in Nord was well-known in the Nord Territory, in one of the teams in the early morning washing village, and he was at the forefront of the procession carrying a huge strange-shaped axe that shimmered with a pale golden light. According to Mr. Liu, who was present, Nabal said at the time that a huge storm of blood and fire was about to hit Calradia, and that he Nabar planned to move all the villagers to the castle for protection. Mr. Liu said that in his 40 years of life, it was the first time he had heard such a nonsensical lie.
In the end, of course, Mr. Liu, like the rest of the village, was tied up like an eagle catching chickens, thrown into the carriage, and drove away.
The same thing happened near Fort Bruga, the fief of Count Andy in the Kingdom of Vekia, and in the areas of de facto control of Free Kugit and Black Flag Kugit.
By the time King Griffos of the Rhodok Kingdom bypassed the parliament in the name of the king and directly issued a general mobilization order to move all the citizens and villagers into the nearest city and castle, the time had already reached the beginning of May, and there had been four open rebellions in the Rhodok Kingdom, and even the lord of Kesto, who had been exiled to Vicchia, had unknowingly sneaked back to Veruga and launched the so-called "citizen uprising". As a result of these rebellions, the general mobilization decree issued by King Griffos was not effectively implemented, and only the villagers of the villages near Aaron and Djerkhara moved into Ayutthaya. As soon as the inhabitants left, the empty village was firmly under the control of the rebels who remained.
When all these storms passed, it was already the middle of May, and the entire Calradia continent was immersed in the oppression of the mountains and rains, and although no one knew or could tell what would happen, everyone felt an instinctive sense of crisis, as if the heavens and the earth were about to fall, and those who did not find support would die without a place to be buried.
Under the influence of this agitation and helplessness, even larger riots broke out. At first, some bandits and bandits with ulterior motives began to loot the villages, then some villages broke out to protect themselves against the tax collectors, and then the larger underworld forces began to merge with each other, and the direct consequence of this was that the original thin rogues grew rapidly and became hundreds or even thousands of people, and then the armed forces that were already big forces merged with each other and became larger, even with tens of thousands of people, and finally those villages that were struggling to survive began to become independent, they no longer believed in the protection of the so-called lords, but believed in their own power, and they took up arms, formed a basic militia organization with the village as a unit, and for a time Caladia was already a beacon everywhere, commerce and trade were cut off, and a pre-apocalyptic scene.
The villages in the vicinity of my Fourth Legion had all moved into the valley at the beginning of April, and at first the villagers thought that we were going to burn them all at the stake, and for a time there were those who begged bitterly, some sought the dead and the living, and even more betrayed each other, and I drove them out of the valley and left them to fend for themselves without hesitation, and Ghaon already knew where my base was, so I did not worry about them going back to tell the Swadia side.
Indeed, within a day or two of being kicked out of the base, they were swept away by a herd of ringing horses led by two down-and-out knights named Philip Louis and Humphrey, who had risen rapidly in the southern pastures, and disappeared. Apparently, those two men had figured out where we were from this group, having planned a surprise attack on our Fourth Legion in early May, but unfortunately, they only lasted half an hour before escaping.
The swarms of thieves and raids gradually overwhelmed the villagers who remained in the villages, and they began to gather in large groups to form larger armies, or moved into the cities to seek the protection of the government, and soon Calradia was almost completely a state of soldiers.
It's just that this seems to be the limit, except that the order is in chaos and the people are in agitation, nothing strange happens in Calradia, and it seems that the inexplicable anxiety of those people ends here.
After a short wait, the government troops who had previously been entrenched in the castle and the city tentatively drove out and cautiously marched towards the villages near their castle or the city, and with little effective resistance, they took possession of the villages.
Then, they soon discovered that the villages of their enemy country on the border also seemed to be uninhabited.
The first to fall was the village of Barranli in the Swadia Empire. On 1 June, Tuyar of Ismolola Fort dispatched a force of 1,000 men, and in a single tentative attack took the village of Baranli, their sworn enemy of the Swadias, and marched towards the nearby Fort of Lundia.
As the most powerful nation before Calradia, the remaining pride of the Swadias did not allow them to suffer any more humiliation from losing their land. Soon, in retaliation, the day after the fall of Barranli, Fort Wincord and Dékiosburg, which border the kingdom of Vecchia, quickly attacked, and also effortlessly took control of the villages of Aiko and Tedsamahi in Vecchia, and launched two tentative sieges against Fort Djerpo, which was defending the city.
The war between the Swadia Empire and the Kingdom of Vekia was ignited.
On June 2, the Nord Kingdom declared war on the Kingdom of Vekia! On the day of the declaration of war, King Ragnar led three legions across the Yu River and stormed Tyrburg, including the old and new Chanda cities along the You River at the same time.
On June 3, Nabal, the One Piece of Fort Tihlog, declared war on the Nord Kingdom and dispatched a 10,000-strong pirate army to the north, aiming at Sagoth!
On the 4th of June, the lord of Kesto in Viruga announced that Viruga and the nearby towns of Garmich and Marasburg, as well as eight small towns and dozens of unnamed villages including Fidna and Ziza, had seceded from the kingdom of Rhodok and formed the Autonomous Federation of the Southern Rhodoc People, and issued a "Declaration of Uprising" to the people of North Rhodoc, calling on them to unite and fight King Griffos and his noble council, who had trampled on the will of the people. On the same day, King Griffos declared war on the Rhodoc rebels in the south, and angrily denounced them as shameless villains who took advantage of public opinion and ignored the overall situation.
On 5 June, the Saiga Khan of the Kugit Khanate gathered a huge force of eight legions to launch a lightning-fast raid on the areas of Rana and Halma controlled by the Free Kugit and the Black Flag Kugit, and after a brief period of confusion, the combined forces of the Free Kugit and the Black Flag Kugit also issued a general mobilization order at the same time, and within a day, the main force of more than 100,000 men was mobilized in the area near Rana and Harma, and the Kugit government forces were engaged in a battle near Fort Ahuen.
By June 5, the entire continent of Calradia was in flames. Countless people shed blood and died, countless families were wiped out in the flames of war, and countless villages were reduced to Shura fields, like an apocalyptic scene.
The night of June 5 was one of the hardest in all of Calradia.
But the night will come to an end.
June 6, 6:30 a.m.
D day, H hour.
I pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the base castle, and the first thing that jumped into my eyes was the blood-red sun.
At this moment, in every corner of Calradia, the sun that catches people's eyes is blood red.
like blood, and like fire. D day, H time, nest car then.
The dawn of the morning shone early on the ocean north of the Wocheze, the "Cape of Hope" Strait, which should have been a very warm and comfortable moment, but the hearts of everyone in the city "dong dong" beat the big drum.
Have you ever seen a blood-red sun for any other reason?
When Krirosat carried his two-handed axe and followed his good brother Matlosov to climb the watchtower located in the "Cape Hope" strait to the North Sea, he spat at the blood-red sun, I don't know why, he felt extremely irritable as soon as he woke up today, and now when he saw this blood-red strange sun, his mood was even more irritable. If General Tuya hadn't issued Nord's "Iron Blood" military order, and all violators would have been killed, he would not have run to such a lonely watchtower.
Isn't this North Sea as calm as usual, and not even a smuggling cargo ship is in sight.
Wait, isn't there supposed to be a lot of ships at this time? What about those ships now?
Krilrotat rubbed his eyes and looked at the horizon where the sea and the sky met in the distance, and finally, he vaguely saw a small dot appear on the other side, which looked like it should be a galleon.
"Uh, no!" Chrérosart's eyes were fixed in that direction, and soon he realized that the dot was moving much faster than any ship he had ever seen before, and that a cargo ship should not be so fast!
Immediately after that, after that small black dot, two or three more black dots appeared one after another.
After that, more than a dozen.
Dozens more!
Hundreds!
In just a few minutes, the entire surface of the North Sea was covered with dense black spots, like a rash from the sea! The nearest small black spot can already be seen with the naked eye, it is not a cargo ship, it is a ......
The bow of the ship was raised high, the hull was pitch black, and the metal horns of the waves under the bow reflected the blood-red sunlight. The mast was at least four stories high, and hung the same black sails, and the sails were embroidered with blood-red flames! Two rows of long pulp stretched diagonally from both sides of the hull, and with the rapid toggle of the ship, the sailboat almost flew up on the surface of the high tide.
Warship!
Kerry Rosat almost jumped up, and he rushed to his subordinates behind him and shouted: "Ring the bell! Ring the bell! There is an enemy attack on the sea!"
But what answered him was a dagger that burst out of his chest.
Krilrosat struggled to turn his head, only to see the hideous, twisted face of his good brother Matlosov, and his blood-red eyes. He wanted to say something, but Matlosov twisted the dagger into his body so violently that his heart was torn to pieces, and then kicked him off the watchtower more than twenty meters high.
"It's finally here, this day ......" Matlosov pulled out a huge red cloth folded under his chain armor and hung it on the tower of the watchtower.
In the North Sea, the ships are as dense as ants!
The first warship finally landed, and the thick metal ramming angles plowed a ten-meter-long ravine on the beach, and then, dozens of gangplanks stretched out, and hundreds of gray cloaks jumped down in clusters with shields and spears.
The second, third......
In just a few minutes, a squadron of 1,500 men appeared on the beach of the North Sea, and then, after a little rectification, the squadron followed the instructions of the watchtower and pounced on the big city a mile to the south.
At this time, the city was already full of smoke, the city gate had been opened, and the lord General Tuya had taken the lead in putting on a black cloak, standing at the head of the city with an axe, and a sunny smile on his face.
D day H + 30 points, the nest car falls!
D-day, H-time, Tiha.
In the thunder, the sturdy double walls of Tiha City collapsed in the thunder that splashed in all directions, and in the center of the gap, a lonely and solemn figure, wearing a pitch-black cloak, flashed with blue and white arcs.
"Attack Tiha, no chickens and dogs will be left!" the figure raised the pitch-black spear in his hand, and behind him, the black and overwhelming gray crowd roared like a tsunami of counterattack, rushing towards the crumbling wall.
"Wait, wait!" General Eden, the lord of Tiha, was wrapped in the same black cloak at this moment, and he stood on the half-collapsed city tower, his eyes red: "Lord Divine Envoy, didn't you say okay, I just need to sacrifice the city, you guarantee the safety of my net worth!"
The figure slowly lowered the black hood, revealing a resolute and cold face: "That was before, now is now!"
With these words, the pitch-black spear in the figure's hand flashed, and General Eden's fat body was lifted off the ground and nailed to the cracked wall of the second wall of Tiha City.
"Storm Tiha and wash the city for three days!" a beastly roar resounded over the trembling heads of the city of Tiha.
On D-Day H+1, Tiha fell!
D day H, you river delta.
The You River floods once a year, and the delta is flooded by violent water during flooding periods, so there is always no long-term settlement in this soft and fertile land. In addition, this place is located in the rear of the Nord Kingdom, so there has always been very little security force here.
After the rise of Chanda, the delta of the Yuhe River was developed for trade reasons, and a temporary checkpoint was established, which was jointly managed by the forces of Nabal and Chanda, and a certain trade tax was collected.
Augustas, a staff member at the Yuhe checkpoint and part of the New Chanda Tax Office, is on duty this week. Anyone who goes to the Youhe checkpoint will have an extra allowance that week, so he doesn't dare to feel so uncomfortable. But this week, he suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, perhaps related to the sudden outbreak of war in Calradia.
However, this area is jointly protected by Nabal and Chanda, and under the protection of these two forces, there should be no chaos.
Probably so......
