Chapter 1,491 Reactions From All Parties
Abyssal invasion is never a small matter. The previous recorded abyssal invasion was in the southwest peninsula twenty-two years ago, near the famous Tower of the Great Sage.
At that time, it was just a door to the abyss that was about to open, and it attracted the attention of the whole land. Not only all the countries, nobles, and magicians in the southwest peninsula mobilized, but even across the Doomsday Mountains, countries on the other side also sent troops to stop the demons.
The end of that war looked like a farce in the eyes of everyone, but in the eyes of the aristocracy, it had a different meaning. That was the bud of a new era, a precursor to the dominance of the Magic Tower.
So capable people united to suppress the magician who relied on the forum to amass wealth.
There are many people who hope to bring that magician under their command, and even more people want that magician to die directly! Unfortunately, the magician was accompanied by a resurrected devil. Regardless of whether it is true or false, those truly powerful people do not want to use their lives to test the authenticity of the rumors.
Then things kept changing. Maybe the magician is still jumping up and down, but after all, his influence is not as good as when the forum was released. So some people still pay attention to the magician, but the importance is downgraded; some people simply forget that the magician exists.
When that person appeared in everyone's sight again, he was already inviolable!
He can start a fight with the Lord of Guardians alone, and he can "completely" destroy the power of an imperial grand duke. These two simple things only illustrate one important point, that is, there is no one or thing in the land that can stop the magician.
Perhaps at a heavy price, that person can be eliminated. But why pay such a price for nothing? Are they getting in your way?
So being at peace with each other and then ignoring the other person is the best way to deal with it. Even if they don't belong to the same force or the same country, everyone does this with a tacit understanding.
Someone is happy that nothing bothers him. Isn't it also his life goal to have more money, less things to do, stay close to home, and sleep until he wakes up naturally?
But when the abyss invasion happened again, even if the momentum this time was more fierce and powerful, everyone continued to ignore the magician who might be able to turn the tide, intentionally or unintentionally.
Apart from anything else, let the robot fleet come out to sweep and eliminate the demon and orc alliance. Even pushing back to the other side of the Abyss Gate is not impossible.
Even so, everyone still chose to ignore it. Because humans still believe that as long as they are given time and united, there is still a way to drive away those demons. The failure at this stage is just a matter of being caught off guard...or in other words, someone deliberately let the water go.
Perhaps it was because when the Gate of the Abyss was discovered, not only was it fully open, but the devil was also fully prepared. Even the Orc allies in the underground world have been found and the troops have been gathered. That's why he will have the upper hand in subsequent battles.
Some people would think that since they are so strong, they can repel the first wave of an empire's offensive. So how prepared should the demon alliance be before they actually launch an invasion? Or what are you waiting for?
The arrival of the Lord of the Abyss may be the opportunity that the Demon Alliance is waiting for. No one knows who the descendant is yet, but there are several names on the speculated list. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the great terror brought about by the arrival of the Great King weighs heavily on everyone's heart.
That day, all the young children in Lost Land were crying. The larvae born on that day were also tainted with a trace of demonic aura. The first sound they made when they came into the world was not a cry, but a giggle, as if they were celebrating the arrival of their new master.
This is a King of the Abyss who has complete strength and does not compromise at all. An existence comparable to the gods of Midi. If fighting alone, except for a few powerful gods, no God of the Lost World dares to say that he can definitely defeat any Abyss Lord.
The strength between them is strength in different fields.
The counterpart to the gods of the Lost Earth is the Evil God of the Abyss, an existence that also requires believers. The Evil God of the Abyss is similar to the Evil God of the Lost Earth, but their origins are different. The former is a product of the Abyss, and the latter is a native product of Midi.
Although the Lord of the Abyss also has territory assigned to him, he is assigned to the Abyss based on his strength. Just like the body of the abyss being sanctified, the strongest person in the abyss can be resurrected at any time.
Beating the gods of the land is not only a professional counterpart; it can also be regarded as using one's own strength to attack the enemy's weakness, that is, one hit will be accurate.
Therefore, the Demon Alliance has an Abyss Lord sitting in charge. Not only is their morale high, but their fighting spirit has also greatly increased with the courage of having a backer. As soon as they attacked, they captured a large area with overwhelming momentum.
It means that after the defeat in the previous battle, the southern border of the Suli Tang Empire had no resistance. It was just a group of stragglers, old, weak, women and children. And without an effective command, they could not withstand the charge of an army of orcs with several times the number.
Mercenary guilds are not popular within the five major empires, so naturally they will not gather many people. I need to hire someone temporarily, but I can't find anyone to hire for a while. It is said that the staff of the guild's regional branch itself are a little overwhelmed.
The Adventurer's Guild has been placed in a defensive position by the Sulitang Empire before, so it is on high alert. Even if the guild issues a mission to go to Austria for help, no adventurer is willing to take on such a mission where it is obvious that after it is over, he will be pushed out to die.
If you can't resist the empire's tyranny, why can't you hide from it?
It is precisely because of the empire's arrogance, the empire's slowness, and the empire's unscrupulousness that all external forces can only watch the demon coalition raging in the Sulitang Empire. No one is willing or dares to lend a helping hand.
Everyone is afraid that they will bleed and sweat, and not be able to say goodbye in the end. When the time comes, they will be named and liquidated by the Suli Tang Empire. How unfair that would be.
If you don't intervene before the empire calls for help, no matter how much the other party blames, you won't be able to blame it on yourself. After all, no one is obligated to help, even if the opponent is a mysterious enemy like a demon.
The southern part of the Suli Tang Empire fell.
But rather than external reasons, most onlookers would attribute the cause to the inaction of the Great Khan of the Suritan Empire. Rumors about colluding with the devil have once again spread. Compared to the last time, which calmed down quietly, the discussion this time was more intense.
In fact, it was not that the Great Khan of the Empire was not at all distressed by the fall of the Southern Territory. He just couldn't use all his troops to fight against the demon coalition alone.
】
Among the kings of the four kingdoms of southeast, northwest, and south, none of them are harmonious in face and heart. If we lose the suppression of our own army, not only whether the empire can continue to be maintained, but also whether our own tribe can continue to exist is still a question.
The Khan of the Southern Territory would take action just because the devil appeared within his jurisdiction and he had to take action. Even though the move was a mistake, not only did he die, but his own tribe was also involved.
Now that the demonic power is expanding, it seems likely that it will go to the east or west to kill. As for not going directly into the center of the empire, it is because there is a mountain range across it. Rather than going over the mountain, it’s better to take a detour.
Different from the already barren northern and southern borders, the eastern and western borders have absorbed many ethnic groups other than the main ethnic group, building cities and cultivating land. In terms of wealth among the Khans and Kings, the Khans in the East and West borders were much richer than those in the North and South.
Of course, such a territory would not want to be harmed by demons. Therefore, the kings of Khans in the East and West lost the idea of staying in the Khan Court and forcing the Khan to send troops to commit suicide. In terms of urgency, the safety of the territory is of course more important than conspiracy.
There is nothing wrong with being a boss and protecting his subordinates, provided that the subordinates ask for it. If the boss does it on his own before the people below him make a request, it will be regarded as having ulterior motives, which will make it more troublesome in the future.
The current situation in the southern border is that the king of the southern border refused the assistance of the great khan at first. The Khan kings of the other three realms wanted to guard against the Great Khan's expansion of his influence, so they all spoke out to stop it or expressed disapproval.
After the death of the Khan of the Southern Territory, there was no leader in the Southern Territory who was qualified to represent the Southern Territory and ask for the assistance of the Great Khan. Even if the other three realms intended to force the Great Khan to consume his own troops, they were blocked by the reason that no one in the southern realm asked for it.
This was a restriction that the four realms united to force the Khan to agree to. Even if you want to slap yourself at this time, others will pick it up and use it as a shield, so you can say nothing.
However, as if the demon coalition knew the limits of the other parties' forces, it stopped the momentum of the army's offensive before triggering these people to counterattack. Go back and consolidate the territory you have already established, including transformation, plundering resources, replenishing weapons... and replenishing the population.
According to the information obtained from the adventurers who sneaked into the occupied areas, this kind of territory management is the most difficult progress for everyone. The coalition of demons and orcs plans to fight for a long time, and even wants to take root in Lost Land!
Now all the forces are still in a state of strategic defense. Anyway, the most important thing is to prevent them from moving forward against the demon coalition. If you are unable to do anything, ask for help.
In the face of the great cause of expelling demons, no noble would refuse such a request unless it was too late. It was just a matter of how much effort they would contribute. If someone refuses, he will worry about how he will be treated when it is his turn to ask for help.
But the demon alliance stopped! He still looks like he wants to manage the territory well. Logically speaking, he should switch from strategic defense to strategic offense at this time, destroying the enemy's intentions and retaking the occupied area at the same time.
Working in twos and threes on their own, a counterattack plan will definitely fail. What's the difference between that and delivering food? The Southern Khan of the Sulitang Empire used his own life and an army of 100,000 to prove how difficult the demon coalition in front of him was.
Since we can't work independently, we need a unified command... Who will do it?
It stands to reason that the Suli Tang Empire is the most suitable to sit in this position, because no matter who else takes the position, they will definitely not be able to command the empire. But with the Adventurer’s Guild’s warning at hand, who wants to be forced to die in vain?
According to subsequent statistics, a total of 7,186 people from the Adventurer's Guild lost their lives in that final battle, including the subsequent sweeps of the battlefield. Only seventeen people could escape from that battle.
It can be said that the total number of adventurers in the northern part of Lost Land has lost more than one-fifth. Those strong people registered in Eucalyptus lost more than one-third. This is a very terrifying number, enough to affect the ability of humans to suppress natural counterattacks elsewhere.
With such a bloody example in the past, which country would dare to easily hand over command to the Suli Tang Empire?
