Chapter 19: The Continent of Adara
The lifespan of human beings is always limited, especially for those ordinary mortals, a hundred years of life is the limit, in the past when there were no books and knowledge carriers, word of mouth is the way of knowledge transmission, even if books appear, forget, this protection measure in the human mind also guarantees that nothing can be remembered forever. People have long since forgotten the name of the previous continent, the events that happened on this continent before, only one word, Adara, the name of a glorious empire. Adala is the closest empire to rule the entire continent, although it fell apart more than 2,000 years ago, but after 10,000 years of being a subject of Adara, Adara's influence has long reached its peak, including the name of this vast world, Adala Continent.
Even though the Adala Empire has been extinct for two thousand years, relying on 10,000 years of accumulation and heritage, the descendants of the Adala royal family have established the Dadara Kingdom and the Adala Business Alliance in the middle of the road, and there is no small amount of strength and influence, especially the commercial alliance, more than half of the transnational trade and seventy percent of the maritime trade of the whole continent are in its hands.
The continent is characterized by a variety of topography, snow-capped mountains in the far north, grasslands and deserts in the north, mountains and jungles in the middle, and the vast plains in the south are divided by the mother river Muwa, and in the south, the low-lying places are swamps and deltas near the ocean. All peoples live in this land of abundance and serenity, enjoying the gifts of the Creator.
The dividing line between the north and the south of Adara is somewhat northern, resulting in the area of the north being only half of the south, a horizontal line that runs through the east and west, from the Yingxue Pass of the Dala Kingdom in the east, and the west directly steps into the Haohai Sea in the west of the Zhongqian Empire, and the huge mountain ranges stretching for tens of thousands of miles separate the north and the south, and the towering peaks are endless, which directly leads to the formation of the desert zone in the central part of the north.
Xiongyun Empire, located in the northwest corner of the continent, bordered by the Adala Mountains in the south and the Cumulus Cloud Zone in the east, is recognized as the first power in the mainland. The founder of the empire, Ako Damon, was the commander of the two million soldiers and civilians who moved north, relying on the orders of Adara the Great to defend against the northern barbarians and demons. That's right, there is an unstable spatial node in the extreme north mountain range of the continent, which will open every once in a while, and many demons will use it to come to Adara. It was to fend off an attack that Ak-Damon led his army north, and as a result, as soon as the army was ready to defend at the foot of the mountain, news of the unrest in the southern empire reached Ak-Damon's desk. As a member of the empire, of course, Ark Damon can't sit idly by, but the demon army will come at any time, and once it can't hold on, let the entire northern border fall into the hands of the demons, and the fate of the human race will be extremely bleak. Ack Damon had his lieutenant return to the division with half a million troops to suppress the rebellion, and he himself took the rest of the men to defend the entire continent. Eight thousand years ago, this space node was quietly born, when all the military forces in the north of the entire empire were lost, or the army was transferred from the south to defeat the demon army, according to the investigation after the fact, the entire space node opened the two realms for a full ten days, and countless alien races were transmitted from the channel, relying on the cooperation of the top archmage and the Pope at that time, the space-time node was stabilized, so that it would not expand again, and it could rely on the continuous strengthening of the magic circle to shorten the opening time, and for thousands of years, the top mages of the empire were working hard for this, and the imperial soldiers also blocked the attacks again and again。 When Ak Damon defended, the passage was open for only three days, and the outcome was certainly gratifying, as Ak Damon held off the alien attack, and although he paid a terrible price, he still held the line. For this reason, people called him "The Guardian". Just when the guardian Akham Damon reorganized the remnants of the army and gathered 50,000 combat strength to prepare to go south to protect the emperor, the whole north was in chaos, and the deputy general who led the army of 500,000 was treasonous, and he directly blocked the Adala Valley that he had to pass through on the way back, although the deputy general was quickly killed by the people in the army, but the people in the army were completely confused, more than 500,000 people scattered into a chaotic army, and the entire northern border was in chaos. By the time Akor Damon cleaned up the mess, defeated the rebels, and set foot on the southern lands by sea, it was already two years later, the Adara Empire had fallen, and the flames of war among the southern heroes were burning all the time. Ak-Damon turned around and returned to the north, where he established the Xiongyun Empire in the northwest.
The Xiongyun Empire absorbed the northern barbarians, coupled with the powerful ability of the Ake Damon clan, and unified the northern territory in two hundred years, while accumulating strength, while relying on itself to resist the demon army once every hundred years, more than 1,500 years ago, the Adara Valley was opened up again, and a million Xiongyun army went south through the canyon.
The south has been in turmoil since the fall of the empire, and several large families within the empire, the leaders of the rebels, have established their own countries and have been at war. As a result, as soon as Xiongyun moved south, it was as if an adult had participated in a group fight with children, and 100,000 cavalry galloped wantonly on the southern plains, defeating one army after another. Several countries backed by the Adala Mountains were all broken, and all the royal family members were bloodbathed, until seven or eight countries perished, the southern countries finally panicked, and the Southern Alliance began to form, but at the beginning, the members of the alliance had their own selfish intentions, and the alliance army did not take advantage, and even retreated in the early stage, until the right person appeared in the right place.
Buwei Borg, a bandit rumored to be the son of a nobleman, but his entire family was killed due to internal struggles within the kingdom, and at the age of twelve, he managed to escape from the guards and escape from the city and join the bandits. When Xiongyun's army moved south, he managed to repel several enemy attacks with his resourcefulness, and successfully led his men to escape into the south, and with his resourcefulness, he became a member of the coalition with an independent army. At that time, Buwei Borg was only a division commander, commanding a miscellaneous army that was originally all bandits and hooligans, with a combat strength of about 30,000, and existed as a partial army. Because there was never a successful commander-in-chief to lead the coalition army, the countries still commanded separately and fought freely. Borg's troops escaped the fate of being cannon fodder.
The southern coalition army is roughly about 5 million, and the army under the southern part of Xiongyun is only 2 million when it is full, but the combat system is different, and Xiongyun's cooperation is undoubtedly far superior to that of the southern coalition army, and the coalition army lacks a strong command commander. Large-scale group battles have not been fought, but the best result is only a draw, and the battle loss ratio has even reached the point of 1 to 4. Naturally, group warfare was canceled, and harassment and sneak attacks were the mainstay. Dozens of divisions and regiments were scattered, eating away at the Xiongyun army one bite at a time. Even so, Xiongyun advanced the battle line five hundred miles south in this situation, and finally stopped. This stop is from early spring to late autumn.
A giant elephant is invincible, but it is surrounded by hyenas, the enemies of the wolf. Staring at it, attacking it at its tail, as soon as it turns around and aims its sharp fangs at them, the enemy scatters and flees, and the other side bites at it fiercely.
After eight months of fighting, Buwei Borg's subordinates are of course no longer hooligans who can only bully and bully women and children, they are already well-disciplined battlefield veterans, relying on his personal charm, Buwei Borg's successfully turned three divisions and more than 100,000 people into his subordinates, and in the wolf pack, he is also a powerful wolf.
Buwei Borg successfully explored the granary of a part of Xiongyun's army, and burned the grain in one fell swoop, and annihilated all the two teams that came to support him. The 20,000 people who designed to burn his granary also became part of his exploits. Short of soldiers and food, this part of the army had to retreat north, preparing to retreat to the side of the main force, but on the way was trapped in an abandoned city by Buwei Borg and burned into history with the city. The 300,000-strong army was lost in this series of battles.
At this point, the wolves finally have a wolf king, but the giant elephant has lost its tusks on one side. Only about 200,000 Xiongyun soldiers managed to see the snow in the north again, and all the rest fell in the south. After this defeat, the Xiongyun Empire ended the rule of the northern realm, and the eastern part of the northern realm was the first to break away from Xiongyun, and then the central part, and the former Xiongyun returned to the time when the country was first established five hundred years ago, until now.
Relying on the supreme glory of defeating Xiongyun, Buwei Borg took over the territory of the country defeated by Xiongyun and established a great empire bordered by the western vein of Adala in the north and Haohai in the west, the Zhongqian Empire. Coincidentally, there is only one Adala mountain range between Zhongqian and Xiongyun, and the two rivals and the two empires have been relying on the mountain range to last for 1,500 years, until today.
The continent as a whole is rectangular, long from north to south, narrow from east to west, there is an extra piece in the northwest, a large peninsula, the Yajiao Empire is located on it, and the name is derived from this, relying on the ocean, it has been in constant conflict with the Bright Moon Empire located on the star ocean in the south, 1,200 years ago, the Adala Business Alliance found this unusually large island on the star ocean, as a wild island where only savages exist, naturally countless people went to open up the wasteland, seven hundred years later, the Bright Moon Empire was officially established on the island, although it called itself an empire, the mainlanders regarded it as a larger kingdom。
The North is now only known to the Xiongyun and Apsar Empires, which rely on the Curocumulus zone in the middle of the North as a buffer. In the south, there are many countries, such as the Zhongqian Empire, the Lizhuo Empire, the Adala Commercial Alliance, the Dara Kingdom, the Xuansi Kingdom, and the Dengyu Kingdom, which occupy more than 90% of the land in the south, and there are nearly 100 small countries as a buffer between the big countries and as pawns of the big countries to compete for regional interests. The Bright Moon Empire in the east is also slowly developing and accumulating strength on the island. On the whole, the entire continent continued to remain stable until another demon clan arrived in the New Year, until the twenty-third continent martial arts competition, until the eighty-second pope abdicated, until the three hundred and fifty-sixth magic conference was held, and until Mo Tawu arrived.
