Chapter 199 The Upcoming Decisive Battle, the Blood Empire's Thoughts
As all parties were steadily developing and moving forward, more than a decade passed in a flash.
As time went by, the power invested by the Eternal Night Empire in the Northern Continent became stronger and stronger, and more and more warriors traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Continent to participate in the war.
For these warriors, this was both a danger and a rare opportunity.
Now the main force of the Hundred Nations Alliance has been pinned down by the Empire's army. The rest are either rebels or miscellaneous troops, who are quite different from them in strength and are not to be feared at all.
If you don't fight and gain military merits at this time, are you waiting to directly participate in the final decisive battle?
Today's Northern Continent is an undeveloped treasure land for the people of the Empire.
Anyone who has a little ability and pulls a group of people over can easily occupy a piece of land and become a member of the aristocratic class.
This cross-class temptation is something they cannot refuse.
At this moment, whether it is the people of the Empire or the people of the Northern Continent, they can clearly realize that the Hundred Nations Alliance is going to perish and the Northern Continent is going to change hands.
Compared with before the war, the number of forces in the Hundred Nations Alliance has been greatly reduced.
Some were completely destroyed under the iron hoof of the empire and turned into a dust in history, while others were frightened by the empire's military power and chose to surrender.
The Hundred Nations Alliance can no longer be called that. At most, there are only ten left.
However, one thing worth praising is that they have achieved internal unity.
Under the oppression of the imperial army, they were forced to complete a high degree of unity, and now they will no longer fight each other.
If they can survive this wave of offensives, maybe in the future, a superpower comparable to the Blood Empire will be born in the Northern Continent.
Maybe it will be smaller than the Hundred Nations Alliance in size, but its strength is definitely stronger than the Hundred Nations Alliance.
A snake cannot survive without a head. The reason why the Hundred Nations Alliance suffered a disastrous defeat was that the army of the Eternal Night Empire was too strong, but the main reason was that they did not integrate their internal strength.
Not to mention helping each other, it would be good if they could avoid making trouble.
Each country has its own thoughts. It is okay to fight a favorable battle and pick up military merits. Everyone eats meat and drinks soup together. When encountering a tough battle, the shortcomings will be revealed.
The internal unity was their only gain in this war.
It laid a foundation for the unification of the Northern Continent in the future.
If... they still have a future.
No matter from which aspect, the Northern Continent Alliance has no future.
This is not only because the territory has fallen, the countries have rebelled, and the enemy is at the gates.
The most critical point is that the people of their kingdom have begun to disrespect their rule.
The land occupied by the empire in the early days has now been assimilated.
The people on the land, they recognize the rule of the Eternal Night Empire.
Classes still exist, but compared to the period of the Hundred Nations Alliance, the future is dark. Under the rule of the Eternal Night Empire, they still have some hope.
So they all threw themselves into the arms of the Eternal Night Empire, which made a group of kingdom nobles grit their teeth.
Land and people, this is the main reason why the Hundred Nations Alliance can fight a war of attrition with the Eternal Night Empire.
Now, the territory has fallen and the people have betrayed.
They can't resist for long with the existing army.
Once destroyed, there is absolutely no possibility of restoration, and all the kingdom leaders are aware of this.
They did not want their kingdom to be destroyed, to become a line of text in the history books in the future, and to become a stepping stone for other countries to reach the top.
Under this oppression, the remaining high-ranking officials of the kingdom began to go crazy.
They did everything they could to resist the army of the Eternal Night Empire, whether it was blood sacrifice, praying to the evil god, or accepting the harsh conditions of the Blood Empire. As long as the kingdom could survive, they would use all means at all costs.
The remaining young and middle-aged people were recruited and irrigated with secret methods to accelerate their growth at the cost of destroying the foundation, and then let them go to fight with the Eternal Night Legion.
The alliance, which was about to perish, was no longer calm.
Just like a drowning creature, they would grab any life-saving straw that could survive, even if the straw was so thin that it could not bear their weight and could not play any role.
Such a crazy approach naturally caused riots among the people of the kingdom.
However, the remaining nobles of the kingdom did not care about these at all and directly suppressed them with force.
This also made all the people of the kingdom realize that the noble lords who had armies and high-level extraordinary people were the real masters of the kingdom.
When the crisis came, the civilization and order that had been shaped before were directly torn to pieces, and they returned to the most primitive era again.
The era of strength is the rule.
It must be said that the 100-nation alliance, which was in a frenzy, still had something. They did cause some trouble to the Eternal Night Empire without considering the consequences.
If they had this awareness at the beginning, Su Xingyu would definitely go down in person, and there would be no delay, allowing the Eternal Night Empire to slowly consume them.
Even if he went down in person, it would cause a lot of trouble, such as unstable foundation and inability to manage, but these troubles were not as troublesome as a completely crazy continental force.
Fortunately, the overall situation has been determined now, and the actual controlled territory is far less than that of the 100-nation alliance before the war. Even if it is completely crazy, it can't leverage too much power.
However, seeing this situation, the Eternal Night Empire did not want to cause more trouble. After all, with the state of the Hundred Nations Alliance, it would still be very troublesome if it were to slow down. If it continues to consume, even if it is defeated, I am afraid that all it will get is a dead land.
This is the empire's future territory, and we can't let them waste it like this.
So the empire also began to mobilize its troops on a large scale, bringing back several top legions that had trained themselves in the demiplane, preparing for the final decisive battle.
Various other religious forces also penetrated from all directions, creating chaos and destroying the alliance.
In fact, there is no need for the empire to create it specially. The current alliance is already in chaos, and it is all supported by the strength of the top nobles.
If this was an ordinary world without extraordinary power, then there would definitely have been rebels within the alliance.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as the power of the people of the kingdom, even if they unite, they cannot overthrow the nobles above.
Western Continent.
This is a special land. Different from the ordinary yellow earth and black earth, most of the soil in the Western Continent is blood red, as if the entire continent has been soaked in blood.
In the center of the continent, there is a vast, splendid and bloody palace.
The gorgeous palace is decorated with exquisite murals and sculptures. These works of art are mainly red, which complements the blood-colored walls of the palace. There is a huge throne placed above the main hall. The seat is covered with soft red cushions, which are all made of the furs of high-level ferocious beasts. The armrests and backrests of the throne are carved with complex patterns, exuding ancient and mysterious breath.
On both sides of the hall, there are two rows of tall stone pillars. The stone pillars are carved with lifelike reliefs, telling the history and myths of the Western Continent. The floor of the main hall was covered with a red carpet, which was embroidered with golden patterns, which was very exquisite.
"People from the Northern Continent are here again. Tell us what you think. Are we going to participate this time?" Sitting on the throne was a noble young man who looked to be in his twenties. He was the Western Continent. The only overlord force, the supreme ruler of the Blood Empire.
Blood Emperor, Angel.
Since the lifespan of the vampire race is much longer than that of the human race, even though this blood emperor is young, in fact, he has been in power for nearly two hundred years.
The Blood Empire under his rule did not show too much aggression, but the internal changes were beyond imagination.
In the past two hundred years, he not only unified the internal forces of the Blood Clan, but also took back the scattered power from the Blood Clan.
He also studied the human social system of the Northern Continent and implemented a series of reform policies. Whether it was people's livelihood or other aspects of construction, it reached the peak in the history of the Blood Empire.
Because of this, he was respected as the Wise King by the people of the Vampire Tribe.
"Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to support the Northern Continent, and it must be a strong aid. It is best to help them contain the top legions of the Evernight Empire and reduce their pressure." Everyone gathered here today. In order to discuss whether to support the Hundred Nations Alliance, when all the bosses on the throne were speaking, one of the vampire elders said.
"It sounds nice and you are providing great assistance, but you really don't take our soldiers seriously! Do you know how strong the top legions of the Eternal Night Empire are? Do you know that we have suffered losses in order to support the Hundred Nations Alliance over the years? How many warriors are there?" Some people supported it, while others opposed it. Another Elder of the Blood Tribe shouted loudly without caring about the occasion.
At the beginning of the war between the Eternal Night Empire and the Alliance of Hundred Nations, the Blood Empire waited and watched with the idea of watching a show. They were even prepared to sell resources to both sides after the war was exhausted.
As for the Hundred Nations Alliance, although it was unfavorable in the early stage, they didn't take it too seriously. They believed that this was just an ordinary war, just like the invasion of the Blood Empire. After more than ten years of fighting, the other side would give up and retreat. .
Therefore, the Hundred Nations Alliance also sent a considerable number of troops to station at the edge of the strait connecting the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to prevent the invasion of the Blood Empire.
Then gradually, as the Yongye army marched in, both sides realized something was wrong. The strength of the Yongye Empire exceeded their expectations.
The Hundred Nations Alliance had to relax its policies and strengthen exchanges with the Blood Empire. For the first time, the Blood Empire did not embarrass them or put forward harsh conditions, and began to support the Hundred Nations Alliance.
From the beginning, it was just material support, then a small number of strong men went there, and in the end, the entire legion was sent directly to the northern continent to fight against the Evernight Empire.
The Eternal Night Empire is naturally aware of this, but it is difficult to point it out. Since the Blood Empire has not fully intervened, but only a few legions, then let them do it.
But if you don't point it out, it doesn't mean that they don't respond. All the Blood Legion in the northern continent have been specially taken care of.
Therefore, the losses of the Blood Legion that have come to support over the years are not small. Not to mention the servant army, if you count the regular army alone, there are hundreds of thousands of them in total.
There is also a fully-staffed sixth-level epic army, a top-notch army that has transformed one-fifth of its high-level ranks and is expected to be promoted to high-level ranks in the future.
This kind of loss is not too small even for the Blood Empire.
"Elder Dekola, you can't say that. The current situation is different from the past. The Eternal Night Empire is expanding day by day. If we leave it alone, it will threaten us sooner or later. Now there is a Hundred Nations Alliance blocking it as a buffer zone. Once the Hundred Nations Alliance perishes, the Blood Empire will face them directly, and the losses will be greater."
"That makes sense. While the Hundred Nations Alliance is still there, we can still hide behind it. Once they disappear, our pressure will be greater. I agree to support, and it must be strong support, even if it means declaring war directly."
"I also agree with Elder Komor's proposal to support the Hundred Nations Alliance."
"Agree."
"Agree."
Gradually, more and more elders voted in favor, and the young emperor on the throne also smiled.
"I object."
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded, and a younger elder looked at everyone and said softly: "As you said, the Eternal Night Empire is indeed powerful, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that it directly threatens us."
"Before you say anything, at least take a look at the map. This is the Eternal Night Empire, located in the southern part of the East Continent, and we are located in the West Continent, with a North Continent in between. They are tens of thousands of miles away from us. With such a long distance, let alone ordinary legions, even high-level strongmen will take several months to come."
Take out a newly drawn world map, the young elder began to point at the map, stating the reasons for his non-support, "Even if they really destroyed the Hundred Nations Alliance, unless they move their capital, they can't control the North Continent at all. We don't need to fight them at this time. After they destroy the Hundred Nations Alliance and retreat, we can support a new alliance. Isn't it better?"
After listening to his words, the elders had different expressions. Some didn't care, some frowned, and some closed their eyes in thought.
"So the distance between the East Continent and the North Continent is so far? This is the first time I know."
"What you said makes sense. Since the Eternal Night Empire wants to destroy the Hundred Nations Alliance, it must have been well prepared. Even if we really send people over, it may not be useful, and we may even suffer heavy losses. Don't forget how the Seventeenth Legion was destroyed!"
"Your idea is not feasible. I think we should still send troops. Even if it can't change the outcome, we can't let the Eternal Night Empire take over the North Continent so easily." An elder with a gloomy face said in a cold voice: "Besides, who told you that if you go to the North Continent, you must support the Hundred Nations Alliance?"
"You mean," an elder hesitated, "this is not good!"
"There's nothing wrong with it. The Hundred Nations Alliance has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years! Tsk tsk!"
