It's been an eventful year.

Titania invaded the city-state alliance and attacked the Western Beast Alliance, which aroused the unanimous condemnation of the Church of Light, the Saxons, and the Aurora Empire, and the armies of both sides gathered and could start fighting at any time.

Titania won the confederacy composed of commercial cities, but it failed to kill the Western Beast Alliance, and the orcs and terrans were old rivals.

As the war was about to begin, no one expected that the Asturians would take advantage of this opportunity to start their expansion journey.

First of all, the orcs of the Eastern Beast Alliance attacked the green forest domain where the wood elves were located, but the Asturians "took the opportunity" to take advantage of it.

If the Wood Elves, which are about to be eliminated by the times, but still have a good set of skins, are still acceptable, then the annexation of Modo by Asturias is definitely something that the countries do not want to see.

But the Asturians chose the timing quite cleverly, and it was the time when Titania and the Light taught them to be on edge.

When a formal war broke out between the Asturians and the Modos, they deliberately pretended to confront each other on the border, and of course the war between Titania and the Church of Light had to take the war they were about to face as the first priority, so they still did not say anything and intervened directly.

It was only when the news came that the Asturians had defeated the White Feather Legion on the border and the remnants of the Modo army had retreated, that the other countries thought that they should be more concerned and deter the Asturians from going too far, because Modo was still a civilized country after all.

But then only one day later, it was reported that the king of Modo had fallen, and King Hovito and Prime Minister Weah were captured alive. And Hovito surrendered. The morale of the defenders of Demodo was greatly demoralized. There was no news of any further resistance.

All parties hesitated, and the emperor of Titania, Sauron, had secretly ordered to change his strategy, change from strategic offensive to defensive on the Eastern Front, and prepare to organize forces to intervene in the Modo incident, but after getting the news, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It was not difficult for Titania to defeat Modo, even if it was an assassination, but it was not necessarily necessary to do it so clean and beautiful. And even if you send a legendary powerhouse to attack, there is no guarantee that Hovito and Weah will be captured alive.

As long as one of them escapes, it will inevitably lead to the emergence of rebels and guerrilla warfare, which will cause the invaders to fall into a state of anxiety in a short time.

This "short time" does not seem to be a big deal for the aggressor, as long as it takes time, it can be calmed down, but the key is that this little time can give the outside world a reason to intervene and then change its shape.

But Asturias and Solomon didn't give them a chance.

The surprise didn't stop there, even the last chance they had hoped for was disappointed.

Modo's invaders took control of Modo very quickly. And I don't know what method was adopted, so that there was no major boiling resistance in this invaded country. It was as if the people had calmly accepted the aggression and resigned themselves to their fate.

In addition, Hovito issued a statement claiming that he was willing to join Asturias on his own initiative.

This makes other countries and forces extremely indignant in words, but it can only be like this, otherwise would they be preparing for a war with Asturias?

It would have been possible if Modo had caused trouble for Asturias and forced some of their army into a quagmire, but Asturias had moved too quickly and had quickly digested the fruits and could regain his hands.

Under such circumstances, naturally, no one was willing to take the blame for the fire of Modo.

Solomon also set off for St. Quentin after striking a secret pact with Alemke, and his goal was largely achieved.

The tribal power of the Wood Elves was destroyed, and most of the Wood Elves were forcibly sent to live in the Asturian counties to accept the assimilation of the Terrans. The forests they live in have become untapped resources.

Although there must still be a small number of stubborn wood elves left in it, it will cause a lot of trouble for those who go to develop. But, first, nothing is without risk, since investors are greedy, they will naturally form a guard to wipe out the remnants of the stubborn aborigines, such as the orc security company, which will be happy to serve; second, development takes time and process, and the conflict will be in the future, and many businessmen are still competing for shares, and have not yet officially entered the development stage.

The annexation of Modo also proceeded smoothly, thanks first of all to Solomon's preparations for war and the use of floating ships for large-scale raids.

Otherwise, even if you use a number of legendary powerhouses, or you can assassinate the head of the other party, you will only get a quagmire, and the people's hearts will be scattered, and you will have to spend a lot of effort to rectify and govern, and even suppress the rebels and guerrillas who are all over the place.

It is not difficult to defeat the enemy, but it is much more difficult to annex so smoothly.

The third step of Solomon's plan was completed, and he surrendered to Bethof.

Then he used this half-breed with Siren blood to meet the Siren patriarch Alemk, and then seized the other party's thirst, and then made a new deal with the king of the sea clan.

Taken together, this link not only ostensibly expanded Asturias, but also actually eliminated the first move laid by the High Elves, and in turn began a countermeasure against the High Elves.

Alemuk's willingness to swear hostility to the High Elves when he lifted the outer seal of the Godhead in order to obtain the Godhead Construct gave him a powerful force that could stop the High Elves army at sea.

Of course, the overall strength of the Sea Clan is not as good as that of the High Elves and their allies, but if it is at sea, it will be a different matter, and the Modo people have been fighting with the Sea Clan for many years, but this time the Sea God Legion can be used as a partner to fight side by side.

Bethof would not refuse, because Solomon had only brought some Wood Elf captives to him, and the Wood Elves, who were waiting to be distributed throughout Asturias, showed a certain amount of respect and subservience to Solomon, thanks to the fact that they really thought that the Asturians had "bought" them from the orcs and were ready to release them.

But they blamed the High Elves, a resentful bloodline of great reverence, of using the Wood Elves, and in the end betraying them and destroying the Sunwell, so that the resistance failed.

Solomon also let Bethoff hear this kind of Cheng dù is enough, and if he listens to it again, he may be a goof, because the two "culprit" traitors have actually seen Bethof, but the wood elves scolded the High Elves for a long time, making Bethoff mistakenly think that the High Elves were the hands.

This also confirms Solomon's hint that the High Elves intend to intervene in the Azure Continent, and he seduces Alemuk and asks Bethof's Poseidon Legion to unite with the Sea Clan in the future, all in order to prevent the High Elves from returning to the continent's plot.

This greatly increased Beshoff's personal affection for Solomon, and he was willing to follow his arrangement.

In this way, Solomon prepared for the possible interference of the High Elves.

As for the surface, he planned to stop there, and it would take some time for Asturias to digest the Green Forest and Mordo.

And this is probably the bottom limit before the real conflict between Titania and Saxon, and if you want to make any moves, you must have been very wary of Asturias, and it will not backfire, and the two sides will temporarily ease up and join forces to deal with Asturias.

And Asturias and Solomon must also look elsewhere, and that is the Dark Regions.

With the further development of the magic guide, the demand for magic crystals and high-energy magic crystals is increasing.

Although the magic power extracted in the black rock is extremely rich in choice, and can even be used as the main source power, there is an extremely inconvenient place in the use of the black rock, that is, the scale.

There are some irreplaceable advantages in the use of magic crystals and high-energy magic crystals, such as the use of source power guns, only the use of magic crystals and high-energy magic crystals can be carried in a mobile way;

However, in the current range that Asturias has mastered, or even only explored, including the alien plane, the richest magic crystal is the underground world in the plane where the native plane is located, the dark region.

Previously, Solomon Tong Guò joined the Dark Council, hitched a ride with Mitaunos, Harpy Witch, Medusa, etc. from the underground tribes, and then through trade and exchange, he supported them in resisting the dark elves in the Dark Lands, and obtained the trade of magic crystals and other rare materials.

As long as these underground tribes do not shrink on a large scale in the control area of the dark region, then it means that Asturias will continue to obtain magic crystals from an endless source of energy, survive the current cycle, and continue to explore to the different planes until one day they find a similar rich reserve that can replace the dark region.

Originally, it was quite smooth, and all of them were under Solomon's control.

However, the unexpected actions of the former Dragon Emperor of Fadel, Biskraulit, angered the dark elves, not only caused the dark elves to relaunch the underground war, but also increased their troops unprecedentedly, and it seemed that they were determined to solve the troubles of Mitaunos and Medusa once and for all.

Solomon's layout in the Dark Regions has been completely ruined by the irresponsible actions of the female evil dragon, and he must make a decision about the Dark Regions as much as possible, whether to stop there, or to intervene more deeply.

The final decision was self-evident, which is why Solomon took the risk of quickly dealing with the Wood Elves and Mordo.

This is not only to expand, but also to create a relatively stable environment for Asturias as much as possible, although there is still the hidden concern of the High Elves, but Solomon also uses the Sea Clan controlled by the Sirens to prepare a "surprise" for the High Elves.

In this way, he can have the energy to change his gaze. (To be continued......)
