Chapter 159: The Way of Preaching (Asking for Recommendation Tickets, Asking for Monthly Tickets)
In fact, what made Han Dong feel strange about such a war was that Antonio did not show much force.
According to Eunice, Angel Feathers can be used multiple times to summon more Battle Angels.
But it is clear that Antonio only used it once before and not again after that.
I haven't even taken the initiative since then.
Even considering that after he made a move, the Beastmaster would make a move, it was not reasonable.
Because he can do so much more than the Beastmaster.
Han Dong thought that he was waiting, waiting for the reaction from the Northern Continent.
The invasion of the orcs is something that the humans of the entire Radiant Continent have to face, and it is definitely not just a war for the humans of the Southern Continent.
The orcs sent hundreds of millions of troops to the Southern Continent this time, and obviously, this was not the largest number of troops they could come up with.
The large number and fierce army of snakemen did not participate in the war, and the only understanding that the tigers did not participate in the war, the centaurs did not participate in the war, the rat people did not participate in the war, and so on.
The sum of these armies is definitely more than 50 million, and it will only be more, after all, it is the existence of the first major race in the real orc plain with more races than the hyena people, the rat people.
Are these people ornaments?
Apparently not.
They are also waiting, waiting for the reaction of the many human nations of the Northern Continent.
The Northern Continent of the Radiant Continent is not as complicated as the Southern Continent, with seven empires.
Well, now it's five.
There are only three empires in the Northern Continent, the Empire of Light, the Empire of Frost, and the Empire of Storm.
As the name suggests, these three empires are extremely good at some things and have great military power.
In addition to these three empires, there were more than a dozen principalities attached to them, as well as dozens of kingdoms.
Yes, there are many kingdoms in the Northern Continent, and the land area is not very small, and many of them have the world's strange things, that is, artifacts.
This involves a lot of historical issues, so I won't go into details.
In fact, at the beginning of the war on the southern continent, these countries were already preparing to prepare their armies.
But it takes time for the army to be mobilized, especially when so many kingdoms form a coalition army.
Moreover, it is actually not very easy for the army of the Northern Continent to support the Southern Continent.
Either by water, by sea, into the Ottoman Empire, and then into the Lacey Empire; Either you need to cross the orc plains and fight all the way to the Lacey Empire.
Either way, it's difficult.
Especially the second road, maybe it won't be able to hit it for half a year.
The Storm Empire is a maritime powerhouse that owns more ships than any other nation on the entire continent.
A large magic cruiser that can carry four thousand people and is equipped with the most powerful magic crystal cannon. There are more than fifty warships of this class.
There are many more types of warships of other classes, and commercial ships.
If most of the Goblin Empire's goblin technology is used in some Karakuri design, then the Storm Empire uses goblin and dwarf technology in shipbuilding.
On the fifth day after the Southern Continent Alliance repelled the attack of the orcs, Han Dong received news that the first batch of the Northern Continent Alliance had arrived in the Ottoman Empire by ship.
That is, after a day of retreat of the orcs, they reached the Ottoman Empire.
The timing coincided with the fact that there was no need to directly engage the orc legions.
Because the army that was originally raging in the territory of the Ottoman Empire also withdrew with the army to the vicinity of the city of Melbe.
According to the army that came here from the sea, the human alliance of the Northern Continent sent a total of 13 million people, of which 5 million came here by boat to support, and the rest directly attacked the army of the Orc Empire from the north.
They must attack, because once all the troops are withdrawn, the human countries in the north will also be attacked by the orc empire.
The cunning enemy will certainly not let go of this opportunity.
The Northern War had been fought before the Great Wall of the Frontier had been captured, but it had not progressed well.
Although there was only one god-level powerhouse left in the Northern War, that is, the Snake Man Priestess, her strength was extremely strong.
And she doesn't show up easily.
The orc army has always been consuming the living force of the Northern Alliance, at all costs.
Usually three or four people replace one human soldier.
Don't doubt the strength of the legionnaires of the Northern Continent, the soldiers of the three empires are all existences that are proficient in elemental attacks, and with the blessing of many world wonders, it is not a problem for well-equipped human soldiers to fight five.
Compared with the north, the southern continent is indeed relatively backward.
There is a very important reason that most of the Warcraft Forest is located in the Northern Continent, and the resources in it are naturally basically monopolized by the Northern Continent.
For the people of the Southern Continent, the only Warcraft resources they can obtain are those in the small mountain range forests, the number is very small, and the quality is average.
Whether it is a magician or a Genki warrior, they all need a potion made of demonic beasts as raw materials to assist in cultivation, otherwise it will be very difficult for most people to cultivate.
The difficulty mentioned here is the kind of cultivation that does not increase but retreats.
Anyway, the reinforcements have arrived.
Although these people are a coalition of countries together, after expelling the orcs, they only spread the gifts of the god of light.
There are many countries on the northern continent, the land area is very large, and the population is twice that of the southern continent.
But more than ninety percent of them believe in the God of Light.
In all countries, there are branches of the Holy See of Light, and the Pope of Light, located in the Empire of Light, is the true ruler of the Northern Continent.
The state and the royal family rule over people's bodies, while the papacy and oracles rule people's minds.
Antonio was sent to the Southern Continent in order to make the Southern Continent also become what the Northern Continent would be.
However, all countries in the Southern Continent have their own beliefs, especially the Dark Church, which has been spreading in the Southern Continent for a long time.
Although the Dark Holy See did not set up a branch of the Holy See in the Southern Continent before Claire, it is cultivating power.
They have too many concerns, on the one hand, the problem of the indigenous beliefs of the countries of the Southern Continent, and on the other hand, the problem of possible suppression by the Holy See of Light.
It turns out that the concerns of the Dark Curia are very accurate, and as soon as Claire began to preach in the open, Antonio provoked a war and directly destroyed the power of the Dark Curia.
From this point of view, Antonio has done a great job.
If there is no orc invasion, it is estimated that his next move is to eliminate those countries that have faith.
For example, the Valoran Empire, which believes in the god of the sea, the Kule Empire, which believes in the goddess of the earth, and so on.
After all, he had already talked to Han Dong and Milan at the beginning, and the Bright Holy See was also developing its influence in the two countries.
The Orc invasion disrupted his missionary plans.
And at this time, it is actually an opportunity.
By an army of light, drive out the evil orcs, this is the best way to preach.
