Chapter 432: War of Atrition

The problem of the Demon Domain was perfectly solved in just five days, and the Tiger Empire and the Tianxuan Empire had no worries at all, and they were able to mobilize all their war capabilities to resist the fierce offensive of the Holy See.

After solving the problem of the Demon Domain, the God of War Ancestors of the Tiger Empire and the Tianxuan Empire were also able to be freed from the Demon Domain, and there was no need to defend the Demon Domain to the death, and the ten God of War Ancestors and the fifteen God of War Ancestors of the Yanlong Empire, the Qingyun Empire, and the Tianwu Empire flew towards the iron-blooded defense line in the western part of the continent together.

Twenty-five ninth-order God of War Ancestors can be said to have brought together the top elite power of the Eastern Continent, of course, it is impossible for the ninth-order God of War figures of the five empires to have only five in each empire, like the Yanlong Empire, the ninth-order God of War level ancestors have increased to seven, and the Qingyun Empire has six ninth-order God of War level ancestors, as for the other three empires, there are indeed only five.

Over the years, all the forces of the Tianxuan Empire, the Tiger Empire, and the Tianwu Empire have been busy dealing with the endless demonic beasts in the Demon Domain, and various levels of force have been constantly lost, and even the ancestors of the ninth-order God of War level have been carrying the attacks of hundreds of millions of demonic beasts every day, where will anyone have the strength, leisure, and resources to make a breakthrough? Therefore, it is normal that there are no new ninth-order gods of war in these three empires.

However, the Yanlong Empire and the Qingyun Empire are different, firstly, the problem of the Demon Domain of the two empires has been solved, and a large number of high-end armed forces have been able to get out of the way for in-depth cultivation and summary, and batches of masters have broken through after countless years of bloody battles, making the high-end forces of the two empires show an explosive growth; Both the Yanlong Empire and the Qingyun Empire have lifted the restrictions on their exercises. The "Yanlong Annihilation Sutra" and "Cloud Dragon Covering the Sea Book" at the bottom of the box were popularized among the direct and collateral children of the two families. Therefore, the children of the Yun family and the Lin family no longer need to cultivate the Dou Qi and then transfer to the True Qi, they can directly do it in one step, saving a lot of effort.

As for the ordinary people of the two empires, they were completely open to them with high-level Dou Qi Gong methods, which further enhanced the overall national strength of the Yanlong Empire and the Qingyun Empire.

In contrast, the other three empires are not so atmospheric, and they are still hiding their own exercises. Only the masters of the own family who have broken through to the level of the fifth-order Holy Star Knight can cultivate, and the "Platinum Tiger Killing" of the Feng family of the Tiger Empire, the "Xuanshui Cold Ice Classic" of the Xuan family of the Tianxuan Empire, and the "Immortal Qilin Transformation" of the Li family of the Tianwu Empire are still the patents of a few people's cultivation.

However, there are still changes, after all, change is common, and if you don't change, you die, and the three empires are also aware of their crisis, so those fighting qigong methods are no longer restricted, but fully open to the army and the people, so the national strength of the three empires has also increased.

The three major empires of the Tiger Empire occupy half of the territory of the Eastern Continent and have four-tenths of the population of the Eastern Continent. If it is fully mobilized, it will still have a very strong force. They must mobilize. It was necessary to mobilize, in addition to the fact that they were located in the western part of the Eastern Continent and would be attacked by the Holy See's army at the first time, there was also the threat of the Yanlong Empire and the Qingyun Empire, but there were still three ninth-order war gods in these two empires who had not been dispatched!

If the three major empires such as the Tiger Empire are unwilling to contribute, these three ninth-order war gods can raid the core forces of their three empires at any time and destroy the foundation of the three empires, so the three empires can only pinch their noses and admit it, and fully mobilize the war force to deal with the attack of the Holy See on the Western Continent.

The three empires have softened, and the Yanlong Empire and the Qingyun Empire will naturally not do anything to destroy the Great Wall, anyway, in the eyes of the two empires, after a series of weakenings, the fall of the three major empires of the Tiger Empire is a matter of time, plus this invasion of the Holy See of the Western Continent, it will definitely greatly deplete the vitality of the three empires, and after this war between the Eastern and Western continents, maybe it will be time for the Eastern Continent to be unified.

The Eastern Continent, more than 2,000 kilometers away from the western iron-blooded defense line, the winding army like a dragon is rolling forward, this is the army of the Tiger Empire, although the three billion armies of the Yanlong Empire, the Qingyun Empire and the Tianwu Empire are the first to set off, but they are too far away from the iron-blooded defense line, and they are still on the road at the moment, and they have not rushed to the Tiger Empire.

On the contrary, the army of the Tiger Empire, which had lifted the threat of the Demon Domain, was quickly formed, and in the face of the threat, the army of the Tiger Empire set off at an unprecedented speed. The army marched all the way, replenishing all kinds of heavy ordnance along the way, and the supply of food and grass was also replenished by the cities along the way, and in the face of the invasion of the Western Continent, no official dared to delay and slacken, because they knew that once they were attacked by the Holy See of the Western Continent, they would be the first to die, and the group of religious madmen of the Holy See could not tolerate them heretics.

Of course, for the people of the Eastern Continent, those guys of the Holy See are also out-and-out pagans, but the Eastern Continent is dominated by national forces, and religious forces do not occupy a dominant position, which is related to cultural heritage, the Eastern culture is very ancient and powerful, so people have a strong inner strength, while the culture of the Western Continent is much more backward, and people need a faith, so the Holy See can prevail and eventually occupy a dominant position.

This battle between the continents of the East and the West can also be said to be the invasion of civilization by barbarism, barbarism and civilization do not show who is strong and who is weak, sometimes, simple and crude things are easier to succeed, but the power of civilization lies in its tenacity.

"Feng Shuai, according to the intelligence from the front, the army of the Holy See has broken through the buffer zone of thousands of kilometers and has come into contact with the border guards of our Tiger Empire, those guys from the border guards...... Feng Shuai, Feng Shuai, are you listening?" Among the large number of soldiers of the Tiger Empire wearing cyan armor, a person who looked like a staff officer shouted to Feng Qingyuan, the commander of the Tiger Empire's army.

After shouting a few times in a row, Feng Qingyuan woke up from his daze, and after listening to the staff officer's report again, Feng Qingyuan's brows furrowed, and after a while, he ordered: "Pass my order, the air power of the army will set off quickly, and the cavalry troops on the ground will follow." The infantry gave me a quick march. Be sure to rush to the border battlefield as soon as possible. We can't let the enemy break through our borders!"

"Yes, Feng Shuai!" the staff officer shouted in response, and then drove his horse away to issue Feng Qingyuan's order.

As soon as the military order was given, the Flying Dragon Legion, the Pegasus Legion, and the Wizard Legion of the Tiger Empire all began to set off, whistling through the air, looking down at the army on the ground with supreme pride.

The army on the ground is not far behind. The Tiger Empire's unique Tiger Cavalry also quickly dispatched, and the fourth-order Demonic Beast mount, the Tiger Beast, sprayed cyan wind Xuan'er, carrying the knight who was also a fourth-order strength, and set off with billowing smoke. The last to set off was a huge number of infantry regiments, one by one entering a state of rapid march.

Feng Qingyuan rode a war horse, looking at this qiē, but a trace of sadness rose in his heart, he was a smart person, so he knew very clearly that there were hundreds of millions of soldiers of the Tiger Empire in front of him. In the end, they all died as consumables.

You know, they don't have to face the armies of other empires in the Eastern Continent. It is the Holy See army in the Western Europa continent, and it is okay to surrender if it fights with the armies of other empires in the Eastern continent, but it is a luxury to fight against the Holy See army, and surrender is a luxury, and there is only a life and death between the two sides.

In terms of the comparison of forces, the Tiger Empire is completely at a disadvantage, and according to intelligence, the Holy See has launched at least an army of more than eight billion to attack. Even if the tens of millions of troops on the iron-blooded defense line frantically blocked the Holy See army, it would not consume much of the Holy See's strength, and as for those Tiger Empire border guards who were increasingly slackening because of the existence of the iron-blooded defense line, Feng Qingyuan didn't dare to expect them to be able to resist the Holy See's army for much time.

Fortunately, the borders of the Tiger Empire are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are powerful fortress-level cities, Feng Qingyuan now only hopes that the wine bags and rice bags of those border guards can resist for some more time and hold on until their army arrives, otherwise, if the border is breached, the next war will be more difficult to fight, and the people of the Tiger Empire will definitely be poisoned by the Holy See army, and there will be more Tiger Empire soldiers on the way to block the Holy See army.

Speaking of which, Feng Qingyuan should be grateful for the invasion of the Holy See, because the last time Lynn returned to the Eastern Continent, he chose to break through from the rear of the army under his command, which then caused the defeat of the army led by Feng Qingyuan, although Feng Qingyuan finally escaped the pursuit of the Yanlong Empire, but when he returned to the Tiger Empire, he was thrown into prison, and the responsibility for defeat always needs to be shouldered.

Although many people know that the defeat in this battle is not Feng Qingyuan's fault, who cares? If Feng Qingyuan does not take the blame, should they be allowed to bear the blame?

Feng Qingyuan has been in the prison for many years, until this invasion of the Holy See, when the high-ranking people of the Tiger Empire were looking for the commander of the army, they finally remembered Feng Qingyuan, who had been locked in the prison for many years. When Feng Qingyuan came out of prison, when he was five years old Chinese New Year's Eve, he still belonged to the Shaozhuang faction, and he was already in his forties, but Feng Qingyuan's backbone was still extremely straight, and his eyes became clearer and brighter.

Although he has been idle for many years, Feng Qingyuan did not give up on himself, but used these years to sort out his combat experience over the years, so that his command ability was further enhanced, and life in prison was not hard, although the people above threw him into the most difficult prison, but those jailers who knew Feng Qingyuan's identity had great respect for Feng Qingyuan, and there was no shortage of various daily necessities.

When Feng Qingyuan came out of prison, he was welcomed by a large number of soldiers and civilians, which also made the emperor of the Tiger Empire and others scruples, who should have been given a billion army to command Feng Qingyuan, but in the end there were only 100 million troops, for such a result, Feng Qingyuan could only secretly scold them in his heart for being short-sighted.

"Driving-" Feng Qingyuan pulled the reins of the horse, his legs between the belly of the horse, and drove the war horse to run quickly. With Feng Qingyuan's strength, he didn't need any war horses at all, and he could fly completely, but in order to boost morale, Feng Qingyuan had to ride a war horse back and forth to encourage the soldiers of the Tiger Empire.

Inspired by the commander Feng Qingyuan, the Tiger Empire's 100 million troops burst out with unprecedented potential, and in just four days, they completed a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers and rushed to the western border of the Tiger Empire.

The situation was even worse than Feng Qingyuan expected, in just a few days, the tens of millions of border guards on the border of the Tiger Empire were almost completely depleted, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Feng Qingyuan's air power, plus the wizard army's strength to turn the tide. The borders of the Tiger Empire have long been breached.

The situation is critical. Feng Qingyuan directly ordered the army to enter the various fortresses. The counterattack against the Holy See's army began, and for a while, the originally precarious defense line suddenly stabilized.

This immediately made the commanders in the Holy See's army scold, but this is also a matter of no way, although they have the great killing weapon of the god of morning light, Elligor, but there is no master in their army who has the strength to reach the level of the fifth-order Holy Star Knight, and the strongest is only the fourth-order Golden Knight, although the equipment is extremely sophisticated. But it was still blocked from the border fortress of the Tiger Empire, and he was not allowed to enter.

As for Erigor, the god of morning light, under the constant blows of the Eye of Damnation, the twenty-five ninth-order god of war ancestors of the five empires of the Eastern Continent restrained him to the death, making it impossible for Eligor, the god of morning light, to participate in the battle of ordinary armies, balancing the forces of both sides.

This news quickly reached the hands of the Calvin Pope in the rear of the Holy See's army, and in this regard, the Calvin Pope was also helpless, the Eye of Damnation was really a big threat, and as soon as the fifth-order Holy Star Knight and the above masters entered the scope of the Eastern Continent. will be killed in seconds, and there is no room at all. This had to make Pope Calvin jealous, thinking that God favored the Eastern Continent too much, and even let the Eastern Continent have such a good thing as the Eye of Damnation.

"Pass my order, let the front-line commander not care about casualties, rush forward for me, even if you use human lives, you must break through the other party's border for me, and the gods are with you!!" After thinking about it, Pope Calvin could only give such an order, let the Holy See army use crowd tactics to break through the border of the Tiger Empire, he didn't believe it, more than nine billion Holy See troops could not break through the border of the Tiger Empire.

In the border area of the Tiger Empire, in a gorgeous tent, after reading the order in his hand, the front-line commander Jack couldn't help but solemnly say to the generals around him: "The Pope's edict, at any cost, break through the enemy's border, and the gods are with us!!"

"The gods are with us!! nearly a hundred generals shouted loudly, with a frenzied look in their eyes, and then strode out, leading their legions to launch a frantic offensive on the borders of the Tiger Empire.

The generals who are responsible for commanding the Holy See army this time are all people who are not good at cultivation qualifications, but they are very outstanding in command ability, so their strength is only the fourth-order peak Golden Knight, but the command experience they have is incomparably rich, and the Holy See army under their command perfectly used their numerical advantage to put a strong pressure on the defense forces of the Tiger Empire.

On a battle line stretching for thousands of kilometers, the Holy See army adopted the tactics of multi-point breakthroughs, and a fierce Holy See legion pounced on it, braving countless crossbow guns and flints and witchcraft attacks, and the corpses of a Holy See soldier piled up, but more Holy See soldiers replenished one after another, and the ant-like dense crowd made the tiger army that had to defend a little weak.

The difference of more than 90 troops is not something that can be made up by a strong will to fight, and the bed crossbows and catapults on the side of the Tiger Empire cannot be fired endlessly, they also need to be cooled, otherwise, the final outcome will be scrapped into a pile of scrap iron and wood blocks, and the stored arrows and flints are being quickly consumed.

"Contact me to the rear and let them arrive within two days, otherwise, Lao Tzu will die on the border fortress with the army!!" On a fortress, in the midst of the frenzied shouts and killings in the sky, Feng Qingyuan, who was wide-eyed, shouted angrily at an oriental wizard, and the wizard nodded desperately.

The Eastern Wizard left in a hurry and contacted the rear, while Feng Qingyuan continued to command the army to defend, but no matter how high Feng Qingyuan's command ability was, he was also faced with an undoubted fact at this moment, that is, there was an indisputable fact at this moment, that is, there were many loopholes in the defense line of the Tiger Empire, and Feng Qingyuan could only defend by demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, and finally let the soldiers of the Tiger Empire stimulate their last potential and fight to the death for the Tiger Empire!

At this moment, the advantage of the Tiger Empire is that the high-end force is relatively sufficient, and it can supplement the defense areas where there is a critical situation, but in terms of the backbone and the number of soldiers, it is the Holy See army that occupies an advantageous position, and the number of soldiers is naturally needless to say, more than nine billion troops are placed there!

In order to make up for the lack of high-end force, the army of the Holy See has mobilized a large number of fourth-order golden knights, among the tens of billions of troops, the number of fourth-order golden knights has reached as much as 500 million, accounting for more than one-twentieth of the army, plus the huge low-level cannon fodder, the Holy See army has put more and more pressure on the army of the Tiger Empire, just like Feng Qingyuan said, if there are no reinforcements in two days, he will fall with the defense line.

The high-level of the Tiger Empire in the rear soon received Feng Qingyuan's request for help, they were not fools, they knew that they should believe Feng Qingyuan at this time, so under the order of the Tiger Empire Emperor, the remaining 900 million troops of the Tiger Empire accelerated their marching speed and rushed towards the border defense line like a desperate person, and the law enforcement team's broadsword killed tens of thousands of soldiers who had fallen behind.

Under the threat of the sword and the danger of the country, the 900 million soldiers of the Tiger Empire also burst out with great potential, and they could rush to the border defense line at dusk two days later.

At that time, the hundreds of millions of troops led by Feng Qingyuan had already suffered more than seventy percent of the casualties, many defensive areas had been broken through, and when it was about to be defeated on the whole line, 900 million reinforcements finally arrived.

"Kill, !!" Without the commanders' command, the soldiers of the Tiger Empire immediately killed the soldiers of the Holy See who broke through the defense line, and for a while, there was a river of blood inside and outside the defense line, and the red afterglow of the dusk was more like dyed with blood, whether it was the soldiers of the Holy See or the soldiers of the Tiger Empire, they were all fighting with their lives, trying to insert their swords into the opponent's body and turn the opponent into a cold corpse.

After all, the soldiers of the Holy See who broke through the defense line were only a few, and tens of millions of soldiers of the Holy See were quickly swallowed up by the army of the 900 million Tiger Empire, and the wizards accompanying the Tiger Empire began to use witchcraft to quickly repair the damaged city wall and strengthen it, and the witches and pharmacists also quickly treated the injured soldiers, and for a while, the defense line of the Tiger Empire stabilized again, and Feng Qingyuan, who had been fighting for several days, fell asleep on the conference table after arranging the defense matters.

Although the Tiger Empire suffered heavy losses, the losses on the Holy See's side were even greater, with 500 million Holy See soldiers killed in battle, and corpses piled up in front of the Tiger Empire's defense line, after the Tiger Empire's reinforcements arrived, the Holy See's plan to break through the defense line failed, and the casualties of the 500 million army also made the Holy See side a little painful, and had to suspend the offensive.

After learning that the attack plan had been frustrated, Pope Calvin could only sigh deeply, he knew that his surprise plan had failed, and next, I was afraid that a large number of forces from the Eastern Continent would soon arrive, and then the two sides could only fall into a disgusting war of attrition.

I have to say that although Pope Calvin is not on the front line, he still has a good grasp of the situation, just three days after the arrival of reinforcements from the Tiger Empire, the billion-dollar army of the Tianwu Empire also arrived, and then, the two billion troops of the Yanlong Empire and the Tianxuan Empire arrived, and the last to arrive was the billion-dollar army of the Qingyun Empire, and the Qingyun Empire was the farthest away from the Tiger Empire.

Half a month later, the border defense line of the Tiger Empire gathered a full 4.9 billion troops, and the powerful force built an impenetrable defense line, and behind its border defense line, the alliance forces of the five empires began to build the second, third, fourth and even fifth defense lines.

Both sides are extremely clear that once the continental-level war between the East and the West starts, it cannot be ended in a short time, so they are ready to fight a protracted war.

Therefore, Pope Calvin also urgently ordered the Holy See to gather a reserve army of more than three billion in the rear again, ready to carry out an undying attack on the Eastern Continent, Pope Calvin must let the gods see that he is working hard, as for the result, as long as he lasts until the second god comes, he does not need to be afraid, because the second god who is ready to come is the god of their Holy Family!
