Chapter 1576 Floating Island

,!

When the nearest lord arrived with his troops, what he saw was a dark army with its back against the river, already in formation, and ready to go.

There was no suspense in the first battle after crossing the river. The lords who can come to stop the attack only have a few hundred soldiers under their command. The evil camp coalition forces didn't even need to move their main force. They just moved their partial forces to scare the opponent back.

However, retreating was not the end. The thousand-man orc army tracked the retreating troops and reached the lord's territory. Of course, there was a burst of killing after that, which became the first result of the evil camp.

It's a pity that the young master of this territory has great ambitions, but does not have the corresponding strength. When he ran into the evil camp alliance, he and his very foundation were smashed to pieces.

After crossing the river, no one stopped me. As if they had discussed it beforehand, all the tribes broke into pieces, like mercury pouring down the ground, and attacked from all directions.

It's not like they didn't know that the Vader military empire was coming towards them. But it hasn’t arrived yet. Worrying about things that haven’t happened yet is not what these people do.

Besides, the most important issue at hand is food supply. They would come to the Western Front just for a bite to eat.

Originally, there was not much food stored for winter and spring. Most of them were also intercepted by the Lord of the Abyss on the battlefield in the north of the mountain and supplied to the multi-ethnic army that assisted the demons. There are even fewer who can be taken away by the Western Route Army.

Along the way, they were actually on the verge of food shortage. Some unpopular teams have also become vague targets for other teams. From time to time, after a night, there are a few people missing.

He was said to be an escape, but in fact he was secretly killed by his comrades. As for the purpose of killing, everyone knows it well and won't say anything.

Under such circumstances, if you don't know how to raise food, you may have to wait until you starve to death before you start thinking of ways.

Now a fertile land is exposed in front of you without any defense, and the enemy has not yet arrived. If we don't take this opportunity to prepare more food, how can we cope with the upcoming war?

Besides, in the countries on the west side of the mountain range, the population gathering points are scattered, and there are few large cities where people can gather. If you want to raise food, you have to walk more roads and spend more time. This is also why the army disperses, and the biggest reason is out of necessity.

Secondly, no gathering point can withstand a large army attack. Most people may not have seen the walled city before it was broken by the former army. Then the rear army naturally failed to gain any spoils.

Instead of doing this, it is better to disperse the army and do its own thing. As long as they agree with each other, if someone has taken action on a target, the others will find another target and will not fight among themselves.

How many people would be willing to abide by such an agreement is open to question. But at least on the surface, the various races in the evil camp still abide by their agreements and appear harmonious. After all, there is still a big enemy outside, so don't rush to fight among yourself.

Once the evil camp's army disperses, it will naturally become a disaster for this land. The armies of the lords from all over the country were under-recruited and unstoppable. The militia in the towns alone was vulnerable.

There are people with lofty ideals among the people, but the southern front of the Suli Tang Empire died completely before. Those who were not dead also went to the defense line in the south of the Fengdi Mountains, or to the human gathering area surrounded in the north of the mountains. The surrounded people were rescued by airships and returned to the south of the mountain range.

It can be said that those who originally lived on this land and had the courage to fight against the evil camp coalition forces have either died or gone to other places to continue their careers. Even if he knew there was trouble in his hometown, he would either be in the middle of a battle and not be able to escape; or it would be too late to rush back.

Even if not all the people left on this land are old and weak, most of them are young and strong and selfish. How could such a person be able to stop the evil camp's army from wreaking havoc?

This is because the enemy does not want the Japanese to fawn over them, otherwise these people may directly change their banner. Nowadays, it is straightforward. If you want to change the deal, others are not willing to accept it. The requirements are also very clear, the meat can be kept, but the people are of no use.

As for the financial resources, it would be a waste to keep them for the corpses, so of course they should be collected together. There are no banknotes in Midi yet. Money is gold, silver, and copper, pots are iron, knives are steel, and all that can be taken away are resources.

Besides, the army came from afar, and they were so hungry that their eyes turned red. How could you not eat meat when you have meat and focus on recruiting your younger brother? This is really the kind of posture that wants people and money, and gets both people and money while sweeping away the land south of the river.

The army of the Vader Military State has set off, but it will take time for them to reach this land. These days, the army of Midi still mainly marches on two legs. Even if there are war horses and pack horses to assist, it will only speed up some time, and it will not arrive in an instant.

For example, the Gwana Empire uses trucks as troop carriers, which can move extremely quickly. 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 is considered the empire's last line of defense.

Not to mention the private armies of the nobles, even the private armies of the Duke of Kawei family have not completely changed their uniforms. No matter how covetous other nobles are and want to buy with money, it will be useless if the production of the automobile center cannot keep up.

In addition to the uninterrupted civil and commercial needs, in terms of military affairs, the old Lord Kawei also instructed to first satisfy the regular army of the empire, followed by the nobles.

This is because military personnel carriers have more requirements in terms of durability, performance, and structure. And the differences between different vehicles cannot be too big, whether it is performance or other aspects. Such requirements are intended to reduce trouble in supply and maintenance.

Unlike manufacturing trucks for civilian or commercial needs, you may build a dozen or so and then have minor modifications. If nearly a hundred vehicles are built, the technology will be upgraded. Such changes and progress are not allowed on military trucks.

Therefore, there were not many trucks built to transport troops. They were distributed throughout the empire, and even fewer fell into the hands of the nobles.

This is the empire closest to the automobile center. How could the Vader Military State achieve mechanization of its military without relevant technologies?

In fact, except for a few big nobles in the military country, they obtained cars through connections and used them as big toys for showing off. Most people only know that there is such a thing as a "car" from forums, and not many people have actually seen it.

The army of the military state still marched in the old way, and their marching speed was much faster than the armies of other kingdoms or nobles. Even so, it will take some time to reach the war-torn place. Only the local people have to bear the suffering during this period.

It's not that these people who faced the pressure of the army never thought of resisting, but their strength was too small. Even if the lord mobilizes his army, or if all the men in the towns and villages unite independently, facing the evil camp's coalition forces will still be like a small fight, and they will be defeated and dispersed in a few moments.

They also thought about escaping the war. But more people have an unforgettable love for their homeland and refuse to leave it no matter what. And those local lords who were granted titles were even more unwilling to give up their foundations. Once the people are gone and the land is occupied, what's the use of having an empty title.

Or else he would hold on until the last moment, naively believing that he would not be so unlucky and be targeted by a group of evil man-eating creatures. No one who holds this idea does not regret it. By the time they know it's impossible to leave, it's usually too late.

I thought that this kind of suffering would continue until the army of the military country arrived and gave the evil camp coalition a head-on blow. Only then did these man-eating evil creatures learn to restrain themselves. Unexpectedly, an unexpected force joined the war.

On February 12, 750 in the Aramaic calendar, when the orc army surrounded a small town and prepared to attack, the bright day was actually covered by a large shadow. For a moment, the town and the orc army seemed to be in darkness.

Everyone was frightened and looked up to see the source of this shadow. I saw a small island floating above everyone's heads.

People under the shadow cannot see the whole picture, but people far away can see this floating island from a distance.

The bottom of the island is not all rocky soil. There are moss and vines growing there, and there are even trees growing horizontally, and there is also a bit of greenery. However, there is no such natural scenery on the top of the island. There are only towers standing on top of each other.

However, there is order in the chaos. To a discerning eye, the buildings on the island are like countless magic circles stacked inside each other. No matter how powerful the magician is, he can't see through the mystery at a glance.

The floating island is one of the five floating islands, a sacred artifact of magical civilization passed down from thousands of years ago, and its name is Edda.

The ancient magical civilization was earlier than the Elf Dynasty and the Dwarf Dynasty. In the final stage, they combined the power of elves and dwarves to create five mystical energy cores, causing five pieces of land to break off the surface and float into the sky, becoming sky islands.

The magical civilization at that time gathered all precious things and gathered them on the floating island. In the end, the naturally selected people gathered on the island and abandoned everything on the surface, including the civilized government and other losers.

The flourishing magical civilization came to an end. It was neither destroyed by others nor self-destruction. It was just a group of arrogant people who chose to escape the world and cut themselves off from the lost land. The behavior of the silver-bearded dwarves in the dwarf empire is similar to that of the silver-bearded dwarves.

What the facts are is unclear. After all, this whole thing is too long ago, and recorded documents are too rare. Later generations can only guess what happened at that time based on a few words.

Such stories have been circulating in the Lost Land for a long time. For a long time, magicians have been saying that they were taken to the floating island and then released.

It’s just that most of these people’s claims cannot stand up to scrutiny. In addition to being unable to justify themselves, there are many things they say that are specious. For example, the reason why I was taken up, and why I was let down from the floating island again. Every time I ask about these things, the answer is different every time.

On the one hand, no one can prove that these floating islands are still lost.

Many magicians believe that if the magical civilization was so powerful back then, it would be possible for the entire island to escape to an alien plane by developing some methods of plane transfer. Therefore, there is no trace of the floating island in the Lost Land, because they have left the Lost Land long ago.

Regardless of past speculations, after thousands of years, the floating island has reappeared. Although there is only one island, it will not be a surprise when the other four islands appear again.

The floating island appears, of course, not to show off its presence. Countless iron kite-like things flew out from the island, with golden wings and silver feathers, reflecting the light of the sun, flashing and flickering, coming to take lives.
