Chapter 1574: Bypass Invasion
Leaving the demons as the main force to fight with the humans, and the other underground races are on the left. And it's not just orcs and gray dwarves, goblins and rare psionic monsters are also present in this coalition of evil factions.
However, the Spirit Sucker has a special status, and does not line up on the front line, fighting with people in hand-to-hand combat. Just hiding in the rear, confusing and influencing the minds of soldiers.
In contrast, the human alliance army, dominated by the Gwana Empire, recalled the army that wanted to go on the Northern Expedition and joined this big game.
This is only five or five waves of fighting, maintaining undefeated. The raid on the Abyssal Gate naturally stopped. No one was sure that the portal would be taken down when supplies were cut off.
That is, the evil camp coalition led by demons only used half of its strength to tie with the human side.
This is still one empire with all its strength, and the other empire with most of its strength. If the evil coalition forces concentrate all their strength, the old Kavi Gong will probably have to retreat back to the south of the mountain range.
The Wind Emperor Mountain Range is between the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Empire, and it is not very easy to supply. When the battle situation in this land was in a stalemate, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the west, the Western Route Army, which was mainly composed of orcs and gray dwarves and needed food supplies.
Demons don't need supplies, that's not entirely true. But the truth is that demons will be 'full' even if they eat dirt.
Because they are able to convert everything they eat directly into the energy they need, rather than through the digestive system.
The biggest difference is that the latter will be a 'picky eater'. However, the purity of the things in the mouth will still be related to the amount of energy they purify.
The most excellent is the spiritual consciousness condensation of the Homo sapiens race, which is commonly known as the soul. Killings on the battlefield, whether they are casualties or casualties, can become food for the devil.
Therefore, on the battlefield in the north of the mountain range, the demons can also use the method of fighting to maintain the situation of oppressing the human alliance.
But except for demons, other races from the underworld are not as good as demons.
Even if they don't eat fish, they have to eat grains, fruits and vegetables. However, just after one winter, emergency rations were rescued by airships.
Although the large army has not yet fallen into a state of food shortage, the situation is very obvious. They must find their next supply location before they can afford to continue fighting.
If you can't find it, it's not something that can be solved by going back to the underworld. It is very likely that he can't go back, so he can only be buried on the surface.
Therefore, even if the battlefield on the north side of the mountain range uses half of its strength, it will fight with the human army in five or five waves. Wolfram, the Abyssal Lord, who commanded the entire army, did not think of withdrawing the troops that invaded the west and completely crushing the army of the Gwana Empire.
Perhaps after withdrawing the invading army to the west and crushing the main army of the Gwana Empire with all its might, then cross the mountains and invade the empire in the south.
Is it not full of treasures of gold and silver, and food that cannot be eaten? In addition, the defeated army is also a good source of food, and everyone does not care whether the meat has been broken or not.
But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel. The army led by the old Kavigong was not a rabble of the level of the southern defense line of the Sulittang Empire and the multinational coalition army.
Such an army is hard-boned. If you want to gnaw down, I don't know how many people you have to die to make it possible. It may be argued that the large number of deaths generated by the evil coalition also helps to alleviate the supply pressure.
However, this kind of thought can only exist in the mind of the commander of the Abyss Lord. Who would be willing to be sacrificed pawns?
Besides, there is an easy route, so what is the reason for going hard? If the three Abyssal Lords who have already descended can play a role against ordinary armies and suppress the human alliance strongly.
Then it is not a problem for the troops of the western invasion to turn back and jointly attack the Gwana Empire. But it is clear that the strength of the three maharajas is limited.
Whatever the reason, the battlefield north of the mountain range is a stalemate, so finding another place to break through is a reasonable choice.
For such ideas, Wolfram did not particularly suppress them. Because it's a fact, not a fallacy.
It is not necessary to deliberately dismiss the opinions of others in order to assert control. As the Lord of the Abyss, he doesn't need to prove anything extra.
And seriously, such a division of troops is also in its many plans. It's just that someone else brought it up first.
And on the battlefield north of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, winning a battle with the same level of strength as the enemy is a different pleasure for a commander who is proud of his wisdom.
Speaking of which, the kings who passed through the gate of the abyss did not have any great ideals or clear goals.
It's just because it's fun. For the Abyssal Maharajas, adding some variation to their long lives is the meaning of fighting this battle.
So Wolfram stayed on the north side of the mountain. For the Western Route Army, this Abyss Lord was only a nominal commander.
In fact, the planning, orders, and arrangements were all jointly decided by the generals of the Western Route Army. Anyway, everyone knows that sooner or later the Western Route Army will be broken into pieces, scattered, and hunt for food separately.
Therefore, the bloated and inefficient command system is only temporary, and no one has jumped out to correct it, let alone anyone to criticize it.
The danger of stopping the invasion of the evil coalition forces on the western road is a great river. At the beginning of spring, the snow from the mountains melts and flows down, so the river flows very fast during the season.
The flow is fast, and there are many ways to cross the river that cannot be used. At least on foot, wading through the water is unlikely.
Looking upstream and downstream, they couldn't find a slower river bend, which also made this evil coalition desperate to wade into the water.
It's not that they come from the underground world, so they don't have a way to cross the river, after all, there are rivers underground.
There are also some gray dwarves who stay in this Western Route army. Although building a bridge has nothing to do with forging, it is natural for those with skills to look for the most suitable solution by referring to their own experience.
And what was to be built was only a temporary temporary bridge. If you don't think about durability, let alone safety, there are many ways to do it.
The more troublesome ones are probably those tall war beasts. With their weight, an ordinary bridge may not be able to bear it.
If the bridge breaks, just find a way to repair it. But if any of the beasts fell into the river and were swept away, it would be a big loss.
These behemoths are neither easy to tame nor easy to cultivate, and no one wants to lose them in vain. Luckily, this is a magical world, and some difficulties can be solved with magic, which will be easy.
A portal connecting the two banks can easily solve the trouble of the giant beast crossing the river. The reason why the army is not allowed to pass through the portal is still the difficulty in attrition.
Each time you use a portal, you will spend a corresponding amount of power. The farther the teleportation, the more things are teleported, and the greater the consumption.
This group of people from the underworld are not poor ghosts. Especially the gray dwarves, their belongings will make everyone covet.
But having money is not an excuse to waste casually, especially to spend money on a group of low-level soldiers. Therefore, the portal that was built was not only for the passage of war behemoths and important materials, but also for the high-level of all races to covet safety and convenience, and only this portal could be walked.
The rest of the soldiers still ventured to build a temporary bridge and walk on it. Because of the swaying of the flowing water, the bridge was unstable, and there were not a few soldiers who fell into the river.
Although it is a pity, but after crossing the river, it is a smooth road, and how can the evil coalition not be excited. So for the person who fell into the river, there is nothing but a pity.
The crossing of the river was not very fast, but there were few obstacles. The small kingdom in the direction of the invasion of the Western Route Army of the evil camp failed to organize any defensive forces.
I could only watch the enemy cross the river. It's not that these small countries are reluctant to act, it's that they got the news too late and didn't have time to react.
Many countries have even just sent conscripts to various parts of their territories to recruit soldiers. And consider the folk adventurers and mercenaries who joined the Southern Front of the Sulitan Empire before and then lost them.
The condition of these small countries is as sweet as the upper echelons of the united evil camp have considered.
Although the population and wealth are not as large as those of the Gwana Empire, it is better to fight. Even in the eyes of outsiders, it is not to bully them, so who should be bullied.
And these small countries have no way to sue the Gwana Empire. After the people of the empire got the news, they immediately found the real power figures of the small country through the forum, and then sent airships to summon them to confirm what they said.
But it's like these small countries are only starting to recruit at this time. It was too late to transfer the defenders on the southern defense line of the Gwana Imperial Mountains to support.
As long as the big river is unimpeded, it is possible that these small countries will be beaten to pieces before reinforcements from the Gwana Empire arrive.
At such a time, even if the Empire can prevent the evil coalition from continuing to invade, the irreparable damage has already been done.
Compared with the sluggish Gwana Empire, these small kingdoms still pinned their hopes on another powerful country that was also part of the five empires, the Vida Military State.
It's just that the military states also intended to send troops to support the defense line south of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range before, but they were stumped by these small countries and were unable to cross their kingdoms and get supplies from the local area.
The relationship between the two sides is not harmonious. However, it is not to blame that these small kingdoms do not give face, it is really the path of the Vader militarism that teaches people too many lessons.
With the name of the empire as a militaristic state, it is natural that the people of the country are martial, and there is no shortage of strategic means.
As long as you give the militarists a little truth, they can swallow each other smoothly and their faces will not change. Hypothetical pretexts, the matter of annexation, the Vida militarist state has really done too much.
It is no wonder that all the kings, old and young nobles, heard that the military state wanted to borrow the road, and they were all frightened and made things difficult in every way, just to refuse.
Fortunately, the big countries have to save face. As long as it can't find a suitable excuse, Vida militarism will not fight hard.
That's why those small countries dare to stand up and not let go. In addition, two hundred years ago, the religious war, the strength of the militaristic state was naturally opposed to various sects, and it could be regarded as the hardest hit area.
Therefore, in the past two hundred years, the militaristic state has also acted a lot more restrained, which can be regarded as recuperation. Now that the countries are in trouble, everyone remembers the good of this old neighbor.
The letter for help was sent like snowflakes to the militaristic emperor's coffin.
