Chapter 24: The Storm is Coming
Five hundred miles away from the Dragon Court Empire, the Great Wilderness City.
This is the border city of the prosperous Dragon Ancient Kingdom, the farthest from the coast, the closest to the desert, and a hundred miles further is the Great Desert where the Extreme West Empire and the Dragon Court Empire snatch each other, the two giants of the Blue Sea Continent have fought for hundreds of years for this boundless desert, according to legend, there are a large number of coveted sand magic crystals in the depths of the desert, attached to weapons and even have the power to restrain those who can restrain them, if any country has the sand magic crystals, it can completely form an army that can fight against the capable people, and that kind of army is undoubtedly the strongest, and can even threaten the rule of the world government, which is why the Dragon Court has been arguing with the extreme west for hundreds of yearsThe border garrisons of the two sides often clashed in the desert, and sometimes even alarmed the top of the world government. It can be said that Longting and Extreme West are the two most restless countries of all the world government member countries.
The sky was getting dark, and an extremely hazy fire suddenly danced on the dark desert, like fireflies flying in the desert, but there should not be such a creature as fireflies in the desert. Suddenly, a continuous stream of torches lit up the night sky, and it turned out that the faint light of the fire just now was emitted by the torches.
In the vast desert, under the undulating sandbags, there are tens of thousands of soldiers dressed in earthy yellow clothes, they hold swords in their hands, and a few people hold torches to move forward slowly, this is a special force of the Dragon Court Empire - the Sand Army, they wear clothes that match the desert to make it difficult for the enemy to see them, they are the assassins in the desert war, rushing into the enemy line at the most inadvertent time to kill.
The heavy artillery units in the extreme west have already entered the front line, and thousands of men in army green uniforms are preparing heavy artillery loading ammunition, and the extreme western empire, as one of the great powers in the west, has a deep cooperative relationship with the science country, so the development of science and technology is also very rapid and powerful, far from the largest country in the east, the dragon court can compare with it. Everywhere there were soldiers with repeating firearms, guarding the surroundings.
In the tent, three men wearing black coats with golden carvings on shoulder straps are smoking cigars, and on the back of their clothes are carved an eagle that is catching prey, which is the symbol of the Extreme West Empire and is therefore called the Eagle Empire by the world, and tonight the Eagle Empire is going to start a great war with the Dragon Country, and no one can stop it.
Now in this inconspicuous tent, more than half of the general-level figures of the Far West Empire have gathered, led by the three people are General Beron, General Hruforno, General Tyrrenne, as well as more than a dozen lieutenant generals and major generals and a group of captain-level officers, "This morning, that person came again, threatening the life of the king that we can't start the war, I refused." Veron said hoarsely, smoking a cigarette.
"This is a war that has won the hearts of the people, if we win, we can occupy all the great desert, and then mine the sand magic crystals and black water inside, it will be beneficial to us and harmless, if we give up just because of the rules of the world, it will be too shameful for the country. Tirrena spat out a blue smoke and pointed to the map in his hand, "We have moved the king and the royal family to a place that no one knows, and now we have to fight against the water, if we win, we can cooperate with the science country on that project, and in the near future, we can completely get rid of the control of the world government." He then said that this war can be said to be the largest war in the history of the Far West Empire, and the top leaders of the Western Alliance have repeatedly warned their king not to try to challenge the majesty of the world government, but the Far West Empire, as a giant of the West, naturally can't bear to be the little brother all the time.
"You must be well prepared, you must know that it is impossible for the world government to sit idly by in the face of such a violation, maybe now the outposts of the world navy have infiltrated it. The general Hruforno, who had not spoken, added, and there were no mood swings in his strange blue eyes.
"Admiral Peron, our spy agency has followed Captain Mongo, who has gone to the Principality of Gawain without any changes, and it seems that he no longer cares about this matter. A second lieutenant ran in, looking excited.
"It's really a young man, it's just simple!" said Hrufono with a smile, he is the most people-friendly of the three eagle generals, and his strength is also very strong.
"In short, we must occupy Sand City tonight, and then advance to the Dragon Court, only after letting them see our strength, they will give up!" General Beron said loudly, his hands on his hips, he is a man who is praised as an imperial pillar by the king of the Extreme Western Empire, and he is also the best candidate to fill the vacancy of the marshal, this war is the time for him to prove his strength.
In the Dragon Court Empire, somewhere, there are hundreds of burly and tall men wearing white cloaks hidden in the dim alleys, led by an unusually strong middle-aged man, this person is the Lieutenant General of Bahrain who kindly sent Xiao Ming and his party to the land of right and wrong, and the two people beside him have blue angel seals embroidered on their shoulders.
"Mongo, it seems that your persuasion has not worked!" Balin quipped to the shorter but tall man next to him.
"Lieutenant General Bahrain, I am afraid that it will not work to dissuade the war this time, and the grievances between Longting and the extreme west are not a day or two, and the superficial peace can still be maintained under the control of world rules, but now the huge black oil fields have been discovered, which has completely intensified the contradictions between the two countries, and it is already doomed that it is impossible to reconcile the two countries through political activities. Mongo said with a sigh.
"Originally, the top level of the world government never thought that this time they would stop and let you go just to spy on intelligence. Bahrain said.
"The Extreme West Empire also sent spy agents to follow me, and now my stand-in is probably almost to the Principality of Gawain, haha!" Meng Ge laughed, he knew that he would inevitably be followed if he left the Extreme West, so he used his status as a world navy to force a horse gang to exchange clothes with them and let them go to the Principality of Gawain to divert the tracking of the spy agencies.
"Well done, worthy of being my student. Balin smiled, and then frowned, "There have been a lot of big incidents recently, according to the intelligence institute, the rebels have captured many countries of the Eastern Alliance, it seems that the man who was made the dragon king by the world government is really ready to change the world pattern this time." Bahrain sighed, the real rules are always made by the strong side, and there is no way to make rules that everyone follows without enough force.
"Fortunately, there is nothing unusual about the sea world, otherwise those people in the World Navy would probably apply for retirement directly, right?" said Bahrain with a smile.
"This is also the reason why the high-level leaders of the Eastern Alliance did not come forward to stop the Dragon Court, although it is said to be a member of the Eastern Alliance, but it has long been different from each other. Another general said with a wry smile that he was the commander of the first unit under Bahrain, Brigadier General Remy.
"In any case, we must use our wisdom to stop this war before the casualties are few!" Bahrain said.
"The second unit has basically infiltrated the Dragon Court King City, just waiting for the lieutenant general to give your order. An adjutant said.
"Since I can't persuade those people to stop, let's just give them some color and take a look, and it can be regarded as suppressing other countries that are also restless, but I can't give an order yet, after all, a general has already arrived. Balin smiled and looked at the side of the alley, where there was nothing.
"You said that the great future is coming, where is it?" The naval officers in the alley were in a commotion, but they didn't expect that this war would not only come, but also the beast fist Bahrain, who was known as the first lieutenant general, and the general, who symbolized the strongest combat power of the world's navy, also came, and it can be guessed that the world government attaches great importance to this battle of the dragon and eagle.
"Hey, Bahrain, can't you talk about it later?I want to eavesdrop on whether these imps will speak ill of me behind my back!" A pleasant voice sounded from the darkness, and a ghost slowly walked over, his body slowly turned into substance, a tall middle-aged man, wearing red shorts under a white coat, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and his long hair was covered by a cotton hat.
"Admiral Duolun!" the officers saw the lean admiral, and bowed one after another, only Bahrain stood still, after all, he was much older than Duolun in terms of seniority, and was also called Vice Admiral Wannian by the Navy Headquarters.
"Duolun, since you're here, it means that the top brass has made up their minds, right?" Bahrain said.
"Well, both the East and the West have been a little restless recently, and those old monsters of the government want to use this major incident to give them a warning, and it can be regarded as telling them the consequences of daring to disobey the world government with practice. Duolun said cheerfully.
"Then let's start giving orders!" Bahrain nodded, and dozens of officers and soldiers took out the phones in their bags and began to give orders to the various troops, and the troops they brought this time were not just one fleet, but three entire world naval fleets! The other two fleets were loaded with the armored forces and elite units of the world navy, all under the command of the world admiral Duolun!
A real storm of war is about to sweep across the entire Blue Ocean Continent!
