Chapter 425: The Southern Continent is in flames
Relieved of the threat of the Dreadlord and able to obtain the crown of the sea for a period of calm, the tension and excitement were restored, and the combined fleet supporting the southern continent returned to the Crescent Islands in batches to resupply, return the wounded, and transfer the dead soldiers.
In fact, the Crescent Islands are a material transit base for the countries of the northern continent to fight against the southern continent.
Every week, huge quantities of supplies are transported from various ports along the Middle Ocean coast of the Great Northern Continent to the Crescent Islands, and then escorted by the Ocean Champions to the United Fleet and outposts in the Southern Continent across the dangerous southern seas.
Of course, it is not used for nothing as a transit base, and countries such as the Elven Empire will also give an extremely considerable amount of resources as a price to pay for ship berthing fees, material accumulation land use fees, etc.
Just as Ji Chen conceived and designed at the beginning, the Crescent Islands have become a transit fortress for communication between the mainland, taking advantage of the natural geographical advantages, sitting and collecting money every day.
But this kind of money is not something that anyone can collect, if the crown of the ocean does not have a strong army, and there is no suppression by Ji Chen himself, then this land is like a sweet cake, and it will be taken away by other powerful forces every minute.
Where will resources be obediently paid like this?
Strength is what determines the world.
On the battleship docked, the elven soldiers carried the wounded one by one on stretchers to the temporary hospital on the shore, the elven craftsmen urgently repaired the damage on the battleship, and on the other side they were busy carrying boxes of supplies to the ship.
Many oval-shaped rattan boxes temporarily containing the corpses of the elves killed in battle were transferred from the elven warships to the cargo ships returning to the elven empire.
Similar to humans, elves are very particular about returning to their roots, and as long as the conditions are right, the elves will transport the dead soldiers killed in battle back to the empire and bury them under the trees of the land, so that the soul can return to the bosom of Iluvita.
Another elven cargo ship full of rattan boxes set sail slowly, and the whistle sounded as if it was a signal to remind the soldiers killed in battle to return home, resounding sadly throughout the sea, and a depressing atmosphere permeated the harbor, and every elf's face was heavy.
Especially because some of the elven soldiers who happened to be able to return to the rear to recuperate and did not have to continue to stay on the front line, they felt even more palpitating.
The intensity of the war in the Southern Continent was far greater than they expected.
Originally, they thought that as long as their elves joined the battle, they would be able to repel the greedy army as quickly as possible and turn the bad situation around.
However, as they entered the battlefield, the demon's overwhelming, non-stop attacks nearly broke them.
In just five days, all five elven legions were reimbursed, and some warriors were even thrown into battle as soon as they landed, and then died in less than a day.
The average time a fighter lives is only one day!
No matter how brave and fearless a soldier is, he will be terrified when he goes to that battlefield.
That's purgatory on earth!
Twenty-four hours a day, countless demons rushed at every moment, and those blood-red ferocious eyes like beasts were still deeply etched in their memories until now.
At this time, these elves who were lucky enough to return all had a question in their hearts.
How did the Crown of the Ocean stop the Dreadlord Demon King's demon army in the first place?
Castle of the Lords.
"The battle situation in the Southern Continent is not optimistic, the Greedy Demon King's offensive is far beyond expectations, after the Greedy Demon King occupied half of the Southern Continent, he established his arms factory in the south, and frantically plundered resources to cultivate demons."
"Under the attack of the almost endless demon army, the twenty legions that were transported before have now been disabled by five, and the ten legions have been reduced by more than half, and the morale has almost collapsed."
Ji Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he frowned, "What about the Desert Alliance?" ”
"The losses are also extremely heavy, the Greedy Demon King has gathered a part of the undead army of the rebellion, and launched an attack on the Ronnie River front from the side, the effect is remarkable, I am afraid they will not be able to support it for long if they continue like this." Willus shook his head.
The Greedy Demon King was ranked fourth among the Five Demon Kings, only one place higher than the Corrupt Demon King, but the power he displayed at this time was simply astonishing.
The layout and distribution of the demon at the beginning was extremely vicious, allowing the greedy demon king to attack and occupy the southern continent where the strength of the orderly camp was weaker, so that it had enough territory and development time.
Allowing the Dreadlord to appear in the southern seas is not only to clear the way to attack the Northern Continent, but also to delay the landing of the Order camp on the Southern Continent.
Now the Dreadlord was unexpectedly killed, but this also actually achieved the purpose of delaying the orderly camp, so that the greedy demon king could take deep roots and complete all the necessary preparations in the early stage of the riot.
With half of the Southern Continent's resources as support, its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Void Demon King.
When Willus left, Ji Chen opened the chat channel.
It hasn't been opened for a long time, and it's as lively as ever.
"I learned from the returning elves that the battle situation in the Southern Continent is very unfavorable now, and even the elves have been beaten by the greedy demon king, and they are retreating one after another, and I heard that ten legions have been lost!"
"How did I hear that it was the loss of thirty legions, and the reimbursement of dozens of high-level hero units!"
"It should be a hundred legions, it seems that hundreds of heroes were killed by the greedy demon king himself!"
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Anyway, the situation is quite urgent, if the Greedy Demon King occupies the entire Southern Continent, then it is estimated that this world is really going to be humble. ”
"It's just that those natives don't carry us over, otherwise as long as we players join the battlefield, everything will be fine."
The elves have only been transporting their own soldiers to the southern continent for a long time, and they have not considered sending players over, firstly, because of the problem of transportation capacity, there is really no spare capacity, and secondly, the elves think that as long as they make a move, they will be able to settle the demons, and there is no need for the glory lord at all.
Elves are a very arrogant and arrogant race, claiming to be the number one race in the world, and it is difficult to pull down the face and let other races intervene before being hurt, so Ji Chen did not propose to let players join the battle in the Southern Continent at first.
But now it seems that the time is ripe for players to actually join the war against the demons.
On the same day, an envoy of the Crown of the Sea carried a sealed urgent letter and went to the Elven Empire under the escort of a team of 100 people of the Ocean Blood Dragon.
Dred, a dwarf who came to the crown of the ocean from the Dead Sea, quickly decided to stay here after knowing that Ji Chen was trying his best to find the dwarven remnants of the Black Iron Castle back then, and even a group of dwarven remnants were already on their way here.
For him, there was no going back to the Black Iron Castle.
In addition, little Gavin is still young, and he doesn't have the conditions to follow her around, so he simply stays here and teaches and cultivates little Gavin with Tomodo, an old friend.
Ji Chen welcomed this, as the craftsman of the Black Iron Castle second only to Tomodo, Dredde was also very experienced in all kinds of dwarven forging techniques.
With his joining, it will definitely greatly speed up the speed of the Crown of the Ocean stealer Abu to learn the art of dwarf forging.
Hundreds of apprentices and craftsmen now follow the two dwarves every day to learn and practice, and over the years, the quality of the weapons produced by the Crown of the Sea has grown as the technology has grown.
Its quality has been recognized by the market, not only in the North Continent best-selling, many merchants in the West Continent and the East Continent have traveled thousands of miles to buy goods, in the weapons and equipment are exported to the East and West Continents at the same time, but also the name of the crown of the ocean is passed on.
If there is an indicator of territorial spread, the lowest is 0, and the highest is 100, then the crown of the ocean at the beginning is 5, and now it is 75, although it is not as well-known as the Elven Empire, but it is also a little famous.
But if you talk about individual transmission alone, the crown of the ocean is at least 85 or more.
Ji Chen's series of achievements have been continuously spread and fermented, and his popularity is no lower than that of the Elf Empress Ladifa, or even higher.
After all, Ji Chen's record of killing the two demon kings is a certainty, and the collapse of the undead legion and the total annihilation of the fear legion, as well as the fact that they are still in relative safety, is the best proof of this.
Although Rajafa is the elven empress, it seems that this is limited to status, and her strength is not impressive, and she has been staying in the Silver Moon Holy City surrounded by high walls, towers, and heavy troops since she ascended the throne.
It feels like a canary in a castle birdcage.
Good looking is good-looking, but there isn't much of a deterrent.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it has no actual shooting record, and in terms of gold content, the former is relatively high and sounds more powerful.
And the war situation in the southern continent has gradually spread through various channels.
Everyone was surprised, the combined army was defeated by the Greedy Demon King, and the elven legion, which was the main force and eye-catching, actually suffered heavy casualties?
As if the sacred aura of the past has faded, the world seems to have a new understanding of the proud elves that are high above.
It seems that the elves don't seem to be that powerful, no, no, no, the elves are still quite powerful, but they don't seem to be the kind of invincible existence?
In the past two thousand years, the power of the Elven Empire has gradually increased, and it has reached a peak before the demon invasion, especially in the Northern Continent, and it is a hegemonic existence.
In the Northern Continent alone, there are seven vassal realms that are independent on the surface but elves on the inside.
Through more than ten generations of elven queens continue to implement the strategy, relying on the economic and political forces that dominate the world, and carrying out tangible but invisible cultural invasions, the most popular fashion in the Northern Continent is transmitted from the elves, and the most popular activities in the Northern Continent are all started by the elves.
After a long period of propaganda and edification, coupled with the deterrence of absolute force, the nobles of various human countries in the Northern Continent are all fanatical admirers of elven culture.
The various elaborate, sophisticated, and noble cultures, arts, and manners of the elves are perfectly in line with the ideas and appetites of the human aristocracy that distinguish them from the lowly commoners.
And the Elven Empire's defeat in the Southern Continent this time was undoubtedly a small shock to the world.
It turns out that the elves are not invincible.
Although the elves were outraged by this, the upper echelons and most of the grassroots quickly unified their minds and resolved to send more of the Empire's valiant warriors to the savage continent to deal with the more barbaric demons in order to wash away the shame of this time.
However, no one knows how much this defeat will affect the present and the future.
The demonic invasion has brought about a series of chain effects not only the death of life, but also the breaking of the mind.
One of the seven vassal states of the Elven Empire, the White Tower Kingdom.
"Is the news that the elves have suffered heavy losses in the Southern Continent true?"
The old king said in a hoarse voice.
The general said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the combined fleet of elves and other kingdoms, although successfully landed, was subsequently routed by the legions of the greedy demon king, and our spies saw a shipload full of elven corpses returning to the Principality of Maple Forest."
"Not only the Southern Continent, but also the Eastern and Western Continents are gradually deteriorating, the Corrupt Demon King organized a million demon army to attack the goblins, and the defense line is crumbling, and the Void Demon King has eliminated dozens of Order Legions not long ago, approaching the Hogg Mountains in the middle."
The general's tone gradually took on pessimism, "This is still the case of only three demon kings, if it weren't for two demon kings being killed, the situation would be even worse." ”
The old king leaned feebly back in his chair, "So, the likelihood of the defeat of the orderly camp is increasing?" ”
"I think yes, the darkness has gradually spread, and what is even more hateful is that the elves are constantly asking us for supplies and resources at this time, and we have almost run out of ammunition except for strategic reserves!"
The general's face was indignant, as a vassal state of the Elven Empire, it was by no means a good and harmless thing, and he was often asked to hand over "aid" for various reasons on weekdays.
Not only are there all kinds of filial piety resources, but also when they are purging the evil camp races, they are required to act as vanguards, and in every encirclement and suppression, the soldiers of their vassal countries always suffer heavy losses, and there is no pension.
Civilians at the bottom seem to see only. The powerful Elven Empire protected them from the coveted Wolves and kept them safe, unaware that the Elven Empire itself was sucking their blood.
The elves took away so many of their resources, but they suffered such a defeat in front of the demons, do they still have the face?!
"If this continues, we will all be sucked dry by the spirits, and we will be half dead without the demon coming!"
The king's cloudy eyes widened, and he said slowly.
"If there is an opportunity to bring down the Elven Empire and make the White Tower truly an independent kingdom that is no longer exploited, will you support it, General?"
The general was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
"The demon told me that if we raid the elves' hinterland from behind, we will have a chance to usher in a new era when they come, and not only will we be able to enjoy this glory and wealth, but we will also be able to live longer."
The general's face was shocked, "Isn't this a betrayal of the orderly camp?" ”
"Is there any difference between betrayal and betrayal? The order is defeated, the demons are powerful, they promise us a good future, and the elves exploit us mercilessly, treating us as livestock, and it should be clear who to choose. ”
The king's tone grew agitated.
"I don't have much time left, embracing the demon is the only chance to get a chance to get revenge, and this is our only chance to take revenge on the elves!"
