Chapter 1576: Floating Island
,!
When the nearest lord came with his troops, he saw an army with his back to the river, and the formation was complete, and the army was in full gear.
There was no suspense in the first battle after crossing the river. The lord who can come to stop him is only a few hundred soldiers under his command. The coalition forces of the evil camp didn't even have to move the main force at all, and just a move of the division scared the other party away.
However, the retreat was not the end, and the thousand-strong army of orcs tracked the retreating troops to the lord's territory. After that, of course, there was a wave of killing, which became the first result of the evil camp.
It's a pity that the young lord of the territory has great ambitions, but he doesn't have the corresponding strength. ran into the evil camp coalition and directly smashed himself to pieces even with his own foundation.
After crossing the river, there was no one to stop him. As if they had been consulted beforehand, the tribes were broken into pieces, like mercury pouring down on the ground, and invading in all directions.
It's not that they don't know that the Vida militarism is coming their way. But it's not there yet. It's not the work of these people to worry about what hasn't happened yet.
The most important issue at hand is the supply of food. They will kill the Western Front, just for a bite to eat.
Originally, there was not much grain to be stored for the winter and spring. Most of them were also intercepted by the Abyss Lord on the battlefield in the north of the mountain, feeding the multi-ethnic army that assisted the demons. There are even fewer that can be taken away by the Western Route Army.
Along the way, they are actually on the verge of food shortage. Some unpopular teams have also faintly become targets for other teams. Every now and then, after a night, there are a few fewer people.
Externally, he was a fugitive, but in fact he was secretly killed by his comrades. As for what to do with the killing, everyone knows it and doesn't say anything.
In this case, if you don't want to find a way to raise food, it is difficult to wait until you starve to death before you start thinking about it.
Now a land of bounticity is unguarded, and the enemy has not yet arrived. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to prepare more food, how can we cope with the upcoming war?
In addition, the countries on the western side of the mountain range have scattered population gathering points, and there are few large cities where people gather. If you want to raise food, you have to walk more and spend more time. This is also the reason why the army will disperse, the biggest reason is because it is a last resort.
Secondly, no single gathering point could withstand the attack of a large army. Most people may not have seen the walled city before it was broken by the front army. Then the rear army naturally failed to reap any spoils.
Rather than this, it is better to disperse the army and go its own way. As long as they agree with each other, if someone has already made a move on one target, the others will find another target and will not fight for it.
How many people will be willing to abide by such an agreement is debatable. But at least on the surface, the various races of the evil camp still abide by the agreement, and they appear to be harmonious. After all, there is still a big enemy outside, so don't rush to fight among yourself.
As soon as the armies of the evil camp were dispersed, it naturally became a disaster for this land. The armies of the lords everywhere were not recruited and could not be resisted. Relying only on the militia of the towns, it is vulnerable.
People with lofty ideals among the people, but the southern front of the Sulitan Empire died cleanly before. Those who didn't die also went to the defense line south of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, or the human gathering place surrounded in the north of the mountain range. The encircled people were rescued by airships back to the south of the mountain.
It can be said that the people who originally lived in this land and had the courage to fight against the coalition of evil camps either died or went to other places to continue their cause. Even if you know that your hometown is in trouble, you will not be able to escape from the war; It's too late to rush back.
Those who remain on this land are not all old and weak, but most of the young and strong are selfish. How could such a person be able to stop the army of the evil camp from wreaking havoc.
This is the enemy who should not be greeted by two devils, otherwise these people may directly change the banner. Now it's direct, and if you want to change it, people don't want to accept it. The requirements are also clear, meat can be left behind, people are useless.
As for the financial resources, it is also a waste to keep them for the bones, and of course they are all scraped together. There is no paper money yet, the money is gold, silver and copper, the pot is iron, the knife is steel, and all that can be taken away is resources.
Besides, the army of people came from afar, and they were so hungry that their eyes were red. How can there be meat that doesn't eat and is dedicated to accepting the little brother. This is really the kind of posture where people want money, people and money, and they scrape the ground, sweeping the land south of the river.
The army of the Vida militaristic state is in advance, but it will take time for them to reach this land. In this year's Midi army, the march movement was still mainly two-legged. Even if there are war horses and pack horses to assist, it is only to speed up some time, and it is not a blink of an eye.
For example, the Gwana Empire uses trucks as troop carriers, and the movement is superb, and there are only six regular legions with this ability, and all of them have participated in the war. Only the Emperor's Iron Guard has not left the Imperial City, which can be regarded as the last line of defense of the empire.
Not to mention the private army of the nobles, even the private army of the Grand Duke of Kaveh's family has not been fully redressed. The other big aristocrats were greedy and bought with money, and it was useless if the output of the automobile center could not keep up.
In addition to the uninterrupted civil and commercial needs, in the military aspect, the old Kavi Gong instructed to meet the regular army of the empire first, followed by the nobles.
This is because military personnel carriers have more requirements in terms of durability, performance, and construction. And the difference between different vehicles should not be too big, whether it is performance or otherwise. Such a requirement is intended to reduce the hassle of supply maintenance.
Unlike trucks that are manufactured for civilian or commercial needs, a dozen or so trucks may be built and there will be a small revision. Build nearly 100 cars, and the technology will be replaced. Such changes and advances are not allowed to appear on military trucks.
There were not many trucks that were built to transport troops, and even fewer were distributed up and down the empire, and even fewer fell into the hands of the nobility.
The empire closest to the center of the car is still so. How can the Vinda militaristic state without relevant technology achieve the mechanization of the army.
In fact, except for a few big aristocrats in the militaristic state, they got cars as big toys for showing off. Most people only know about the 'car' from the forums, and not many people have actually seen it.
The armies of the militaristic states still march in the old way, and they march much faster than the armies of other kingdoms or nobles. Rao is so, it will take time to reach the land of war. The hardships of this period of time are borne only by the local people themselves.
These people who are facing the pressure of the army have not thought of resisting, but their strength is too small. Even if the lord does his best, or all the men in the towns and villages unite independently, the coalition army in the face of the evil camp is still like a small fight, and it will be defeated and scattered in three or two clicks.
They also thought about fleeing the scourge of war. But more people are unforgettable in their homeland and refuse to leave. And those local lords who were entitled, even more refused to give up their inheritance. Once the people are gone, and the land is occupied, what is the use of having an empty title?
Or just survive until the last moment, naively thinking that you won't be so unlucky and targeted by a group of evil creatures that eat people. There is no one who does not regret this kind of thinking. When they know they can't go, it's usually too late.
I thought that this kind of suffering would continue until the army of the militaristic state arrived, giving the evil camp coalition a head-on blow, and these man-eating evil creatures knew how to restrain themselves. Unexpectedly, an unexpected force entered the war.
On the twelfth day of the second month, in the year 750 of the Aramaic calendar, when the orc army was surrounding a small town and preparing to attack, Lang Lang was obscured by a large shadow during the day. For a moment, the town and the orc army felt like they were in the middle of the night.
Everyone was frightened, but they all looked up at the source of this shadow. I saw a small island, floating above everyone's heads.
Those in the shadows can't see the whole picture, but there are people who are far away from here, and they can see the floating island from afar.
The bottom of the island is not full of rocky clods, there are mossy vines growing, and even trees are growing upside down, and there are also some greenery. However, there is no such natural scenery above the island, and you can only see a forest of towers, layered on top of each other.
However, in the chaos and order, in the eyes of the discerning person, the buildings on the island are like countless magic arrays. No matter how powerful a magician is, he can't see through the mystery at a glance.
The island is one of the five floating islands that have been handed down from thousands of years ago, and its name is Edda.
Ancient magical civilizations predate the Elven and Dwarven dynasties. At the end of the day, they combined the power of elves and dwarves to create five Myser cores, causing five landmasses to rise from the surface and become empty islands.
At that time, the magical civilization gathered all the precious things and gathered them on the floating island. Eventually, the Chosen gathered on the island, abandoning everything on the surface, including civilized regimes and the other unsuccessful ones.
The flourishing magical civilization came to an end. It is neither the destruction of man nor the self-destruction, but just a group of arrogant people who have chosen the way to escape from the world and cut off from the deluded land. It is similar to the actions of the silver-bearded dwarves of the Dwarven Empire.
What the facts are, it is not clear. After all, this whole thing is too old, and the documented documents are too scarce. Later generations can only guess the events of that era based on a few words.
Such stories have been circulating in the land for a long time. All along, there have been mages who say that they were led to a floating island and then sent down.
It's just that most of these people's claims don't stand up to scrutiny. In addition to not being able to justify themselves, they have a lot of things that are plausible. For example, the reason for being brought up, and why he was sent down by the floating island, these things are different every time I ask them.
On the one hand, there is no one to prove that these floating islands are still lost.
Many mages believe that if that magical civilization was so strong in the first place, then it would be possible to study some methods of dimensional transfer, and the entire island would be able to escape into another plane. There is no trace of the floating island in the Maze, because they have long since left the Maze.
Regardless of past speculations, after thousands of years, the floating island has reappeared. Although there is only one, it will not be surprising when the other four islands will come out again.
The appearance of the floating island, of course, is not to show its presence. Countless iron harrier-like things flew out of the island, with golden wings and silver feathers, reflecting the sun's brilliance, flashing and flickering, and taking their lives.
