Chapter 922
After the Undead Empire found that there was no hope of breaking through the unique double line of defense of the Eternal Night Commander, it gradually died down and stopped wasting its troops.
With Xiao En's lessons learned from the past, the leader of the Yongye army did not dare to rashly recruit the heroic soul soldiers from the second world to form a pure heroic soul army to launch a counterattack against the undead empire.
Up to now, the northern defense line has also maintained the status quo.
One side is always shrouded in weird gray fog, and the other side is always brightly lit, guarding against the invasion of those weird fog and gray fog at any time.
Between the two sides, there have been no large-scale wars, and small-scale conflicts have never been interrupted.
The undead and nightmares have been testing the reality of the northern defense line.
The second world in the north, on the other hand, continuously absorbs the shadow energy from the north, while consuming their strength, it also strengthens itself.
The number of heroic soul soldiers in the second world in the north has not changed much, but their strength has continued to grow with the passage of time, because the power of law is constantly accumulating.
Sophilia's understanding of the war on the northern defense line is also superficial, and she doesn't have a special understanding of the specific offensive and defensive tactics and the actual situation.
Because she was still tied to the princess fief at the time and couldn't move, she just flew directly over the northern fortress a few times during a few major decisions. directly commanded by the War Council.
As a decisive force in the Arshan Continent, such a major turmoil in the Yongye Army Commander naturally had a profound impact on the extremely severe situation at that time.
Looking at it now, it is not an exaggeration to call it a fuse.
It may be that the leader of the Eternal Night Army has been exhausted from dealing with the undead empire and has no energy to plot the Byron Alliance.
With no worries, the Lancelot royal family brazenly tore up the armistice agreement signed with Theodin Empire less than a year ago, and launched a large-scale counterattack against it.
All the new troops of the Holy See came out in full force.
Numerous believers of the Holy See rushed towards the Odin orc's line of defense shouting the Zealot.
Even the Odin orcs felt their scalps tingling for a while when they saw that kind of frenzied enthusiasm that was not afraid of death.
The new army of the Holy See may have such and such deficiencies.
But that kind of fanaticism that is not afraid of everything will cover up most of the shortcomings, especially when hundreds of thousands come out.
On the contrary, on the side of the Theodin Empire, it was troubled both internally and externally.
The crisis in all aspects has been squeezed to the apex, and finally found a way out that is not a way out, and the courage that originally gambled everything could not be mustered.
For the sudden fighters, they were obviously not prepared enough.
Was caught off guard.
The line of defense was withdrawn again and again, and finally they were driven back to the Broken Pulse defense line, trying to rely on the Broken Pulse defense line to block the Byron Alliance's counterattack, but in this way, their connection with the new ally, the Witches' Secret Council, was severely cut off.
At this critical moment, the Witches' Secret Society did not turn around and fight back against the Theodin Empire, but spared no effort to assist them, and even pushed their own army to the east, posing as an alliance with Byron. Trying to attract the attention of the Byron Alliance, return some troops, and ease the pressure on the Theodin Empire.
The Byron Alliance ignored the actions of the Witches' Secret Council, leaving only a small number of troops to hide behind the defense line, and still desperately mobilized the manpower and material resources in the major territories to rush towards the Theodin Empire, which was huddled in the direction of the broken vein. A posture that will never give up until the Western Duanmai defense line is regained.
In this way, instead, the Witch Conclave was pushed to the stake, unable to move forward or retreat.
They also know that their troops are weak. Once they rashly abandon the steep terrain of the Gemini Peninsula, it will be difficult for them to cause devastating damage to the vast Lancelot royal family. After all, their army is mostly infantry, not that strong. flexibility.
But if they just sit idly by, once the Theodin Empire is driven out of the broken line of defense.
The Theodin Empire's military assistance to the Witches' Secret Council will be greatly reduced.
Once the Byron Alliance completes the reorganization of the broken line of defense, it will inevitably move westward regardless of everything, and uproot the Witches' Secret Society from the Gemini Peninsula.
The alliance between the Witch Conclave and Theodin Empire has been completely torn apart, and there is no room for maneuver.
This time, not only the Holy See of Saint Ether targeted them, but also the other Lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance would no longer be able to tolerate them.
United against the Odin orcs is the basis for the existence of the Byron Alliance.
When this foundation no longer exists, or is broken, the alliance has fallen apart and existed in name only.
After a series of trade-offs.
The Witches' Secret Society decided to put all their eggs in one basket, mobilized an elite army of 100,000 troops, and rushed out from the border fortress on the Gemini Peninsula.
The target was not Valesta, the royal capital of the Lancelot royal family, but Saint Andy, the Holy Land of the Holy See of Saint Ether.
Everyone can see that the current Byron Alliance is no longer the former Byron Alliance. It is not the young king of Lancelot who is leading the counterattack of the new royal army, but the Holy See Pope St. George.
As long as St. George is taken down, there may be a new turning point in this battle.
At the beginning of the war, the army of witches in the Witches' Secret Society was overwhelming.
They showed the world that they are the largest organization of warlocks in the Arshan continent.
They not only have mature enchanting armor technology, but also master the perfect cultivation of vassal witch warriors.
These witch warriors have received intensive training and transformation from witches since childhood, using spells and secret medicines. They not only possess the strength and speed of ordinary warriors, but also have a tenacious will that they do not possess.
The physical fitness of the entire army of witches far exceeds that of normal troops.
On top of that, the Witch Army has a warlock ratio that no other army has.
When it comes to warlocks, what people subconsciously think of is their innate magic ability, but they forget that those warlocks who are successful in cultivation often have knowledge and excellent brains that ordinary people do not have.
In the army, the latter plays a greater role than the former.
Under the deployment and command of these warlock commanders, the tactics are flexible and changeable.
Obviously, knowing their big goals, there is no way to predict their small goals.
In just half a month, they reached San Andy.
But as they kept getting closer to San Andy, they became more and more horrified by the tactics of the People's Seas.
The closer you are to St. Andy, the higher the popularity of St. Ether's belief will be.
By the time they reached 100 kilometers, there were basically no non-Holy See believers. From eighty-year-olds to three-year-old babies who had just learned to speak, they were all followers of the Holy See, and they were all very fanatical.
Even if there were non-Holy See believers living here, they had either been assimilated by this fanatical religious atmosphere, or were forced to leave their hometown.
Some non-believers will be scrutinized and hostile when they come here, not to mention the army of witches holding high the banner of destroying the Holy See.
When you get here, you will inevitably be resisted to the death.
Every city, every town, every village, and every person will fight desperately for their beliefs, regardless of life and death.
Not only can the army of witches not get a grain of food supplies from here, but they must also be careful whether the food and water they get from here are poisoned.
Walking on the road, you must avoid cold arrows from the dark.
Under normal circumstances, people who are a little bit more rational will not provoke enemies that are far stronger than themselves.
But here, when people are controlled by beliefs, they can no longer be measured by common sense.
Burn the village with fire, and go forward with the enemy who attacked him.
Set up an ambush on the side of the road and charge at enemies hundreds of times larger than yourself.
Assassinate army soldiers alone.
I would rather burn all the food than leave a single grain to the army of witches.
Poison all water sources, even if it means poisoning one's own people.
This kind of thing is not one or two, but everywhere.
In the end, the army of witches was full of grass and trees, and everyone they saw along the way, old and young, had to be slaughtered.
The result of doing so not only brought severe psychological pressure to the soldiers of his own army, but also made the already demonized label of the witch secret society more prominent, which could never be washed away.
This will only strengthen the hearts of other religious leaders to resist the army of witches.
Because in the beginning, they may have just done it for faith, but now it has become for faith and survival.
In addition, St. Andy, as the core hinterland of the Holy See of St. Ether, is not as empty as imagined.
Pope St. George kept the Holy See's most elite armed force, the Sword of St. Ether, by his side, guarding his own safety.
The number of Swords of Saint Ether is not very large. Even in the past few years, elite knights have been continuously selected to join them and expanded. The number is only more than tens of thousands.
But these are Holy Light Knights who have been personally blessed by Pope St. George and have mastered the power of the Holy Light, and have fanatical beliefs.
Relying on the advantage of the home field, they fought a fierce battle with the army of witches in a small area.
Every village, every town, every city is fighting over and over again.
The army of witches was dragged into the quagmire of war.
At this time, the Kingsley family dispatched an elite mountain army of 50,000, led by General Akemesser, who went out day and night, penetrated behind the army of witches, and attacked the empty South Island of the witches' secret society, breaking the defense in World War I. .
In just one week, they went down to three cities in a row, tearing a hole in the defense line of the Witches' Secret Society.
At the same time, the Commons family was also at sea and launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Witches' Secret Society. They dispatched five dragon skeleton warships alone, and quietly launched the decisive naval battle.
The naval battle in the Gemini Gulf lasted for two full weeks, and the two sides sank as many as 10,000 ships and warships.
In a fight, both sides will suffer, and the sea strength of both has been greatly damaged.
At this time, the Commons family launched an all-out attack on the Witches' Secret Society. It wasn't that the pirate family suddenly changed their nature and found out with conscience.
Rather, some time ago, I had already fully felt the pressure brought to me by the alliance between the Witches' Secret Society and Theodin Empire.
If he was as timid as before, he would have missed this opportunity to severely damage the Witches' Secret Council.
When the alliance between them stabilizes, the Theodin Empire will inevitably rely on the sea power of the Witches' Secret Council to expand at sea.
At that time, even if the Byron Alliance wanted to help them, they had no chance.
The delay at sea undoubtedly bought ample time for the Byron Alliance, especially General Acmesser, who led the elite mountain army into the Twin South Island.
Let him coerce and lure the local lords of the Twin South Islands, and let them lead their people to rise up against the rule of the witch secret society.
The time for the Witch Secret Society to erode and control the twin South Islands is much shorter than that of the North Islands, not even a century. Many local lords still remember the afterglow of their ancestors ruling here, and they are more or less unwilling to do so.
In the past, when the witch secret meeting was very powerful, this kind of unwillingness could only be hidden in the deepest part of my heart.
Now seeing the opportunity for independence, Nanmian's mind became active, and many people were involved in the wave of resistance against the witches' conclave.
This counterattack by the Byron Alliance lasted for more than half a year.
In the end, the Theodin Empire was completely expelled from the Byron Alliance, the West Broken Line was recaptured, and the South Island of the Gemini Peninsula under the control of the Witch Conclave was liberated.
The main force and army of the Witches' Secret Council retreated back to the Twin North Islands, and the main force of the fleet moved from the Twin Bays to the Miracle Bay between the Twin North Islands and the Miracle Peninsula.
Forced to the edge of the cliff, the Witch Conclave had no other choice but to cooperate more closely with Theodin Empire, and the Twin North Islands were completely separated from the Byron Union.
And this is just the beginning of the political storm sweeping across the Arshan continent.
Just when the Byron Alliance achieved a brilliant victory and everyone believed that the royal family of Lancelot had entered the year of resurgence and the young King Laurie would lead the Byron Alliance to a new glory, he suddenly died suddenly.
It is conceivable how much shock this incident had on the Arshan Continent at that time.
Not only was the entire Byron Alliance blown up, but even the leader of the Yong Ye army shook with the whole body.
Don't forget that Sophie Liya also has the right to inherit the Lancelot royal family, and it is still a very advanced one.
Once it was established that King Lowry had no direct heirs, she was first in line to heir.
Even though Sophie Liya, the person concerned, was immersed in the grief of losing her loved one at the time and didn't think about it at all, it couldn't stop the people below from thinking about it, especially the courtiers who had followed her for many years in the princess fiefdom.
Although they followed Princess Sophie Liya as a dowry to the Yongye army leader for some years.
However, the Yong Ye army leader itself has a complete management system, and it is still a self-contained one, which is very different from the original management method of the Byron Alliance.
In addition, Princess Sophilia, who was heartbroken by King Laurie, was disheartened and devoted herself to the upbringing of her own children. These people did not receive strong support, so even if they had great ability and ambition, they could not I can only honestly dormant in the princess fief, there is no way to show it, and I can't show it.
