On the 39th day after the zero hour of the war, the demon alliance, the border area between the Trafal Empire and the Bruck Empire.
Compared with the incompatible situation between the gods and the demon alliance, within the demon alliance, the relationship between the empires is far less tense. Traditionally, part of the friction between the demon empires is of course due to greed, but the other part is due to greed.
It was an unintentional mistake. For example: the cultural development of the continent of Bis is actually not very high. Except for those particularly important passes and trade routes that do not give up an inch of land, each empire's positioning of its own territory is relatively vague.
Almost all empires use "border" instead of "border" when describing their territory in official documents. If you insist on finding an exception, it is the "divine line between gods and demons" appointed by the superior clan.
The empire followed "border" out of tradition, because very early on, people did not have the concept of "border". Later it gradually became available, and it is not ruled out that some empires deliberately confuse the public... In short
The difference in words caused numerous disputes.
The boundary is a line, and the border is a surface.
The former is easy to distinguish, but the latter often overlaps. Therefore, it is often the case that neighboring empires indicate that a certain land belongs to them at the same time, and oolong incidents of jointly giving up a certain land also occur from time to time. Differences and mistakes continue
Accumulated, this lays countless excuses for subsequent disputes. However, no matter which empire it is, it is impossible to maintain a strong momentum for a long time, so around certain territories, there will be a situation where I will fight today and you will fight tomorrow.
Come and grab the grand occasion.
The place to be robbed does not necessarily have to be extremely dangerous or rich. As long as there is something to rob, war itself is an activity that creates wealth and power. Once the war starts, the upper class are happy because it means more seats.
More gold; only the common people and low-ranking nobles cried, because it meant bloodshed and destruction.
Over the years, some borders have become like tinderboxes. They are of no use at ordinary times. Once ignited, they will become a big trouble. Therefore, in places like this, few people are willing to stay and have a little bit of brains and freedom.
People will stay away from them. Over time, it is logical that many border areas become more and more desolate and become unsuitable for human survival. There are even no-man's lands hundreds of miles deep.
But for people fleeing for their lives, desolate areas are perfect. Because such places are not only safe, but also set off their mood. If the person involved reads more and is more careless, he might be able to write on the way to escape.
A masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
The leader of the Southern Treaty Business Group, Duke Swice Hepburn, was of course a well-read man, but he still lacked the qualification of being heartless, so there was no sign of his poetry flourishing - the Duke at this time
The Lord is sitting slumped in the half-collapsed stable, with his back bent and his face pale. He has completely lost his former demeanor and temperament, and is even worse than a farmer.
His eyes had no focus, and he stared blankly at the ceiling made of weeds. The sparse freezing rain wet his long hair and stuck it to his forehead. The biting cold wind took away the remaining heat, leaving his lips black.
green.
However, nothing around him would make the pain and coldness in the Duke's heart even a little worse, because that day and everything that happened after that had already given him a taste of the cruelest and most brutal taste in the world.
It's too awful!
On the thirty-fourth day of the war, the dark demons and the light gods united to release world-destroying magic on the city. This was a sure thing, but in the end, they failed shamefully!
It is hard to imagine that the gods and demons who have accumulated power for countless years have failed shamefully!
With so much force and arrogance, who could have imagined that it would end like this?
Concentrating the manpower of the entire demon alliance, plus the Duke's head, no one could have imagined that the inevitable situation could be reversed in an instant. However, it was not just Duke Swice's jaw that broke, but also the NATO treaty business group, and those who were hiding.
The forces in the dark, even the gods and demons themselves could not imagine this - Cohen Keda came back and won!
To be more precise, it should be that vast and powerful will that won, but it was obvious that Cohen Keda was her spokesperson.
Everyone will only look at the problem from their own point of view, and the common understanding of mankind is that the "Mother Goddess" will not personally take charge of the continent, and Cohen Keda will become a mixture of the previous Dark Temple and the Light Temple. Just so, he
Wasn't a "Third Faith" established before? Maybe that is the agency for the new generation of superior clans... There is no doubt that Cohen Keda is already the most authoritative figure in Bis Continent!
In the face of this shocking reversal, all those who had previously chosen to be enemies with Dicheng instantly lost their voices.
This is the most unbelievable thing in history, but no one on the merchant alliance knows the specific process. Because everyone who stayed in the same place has been wiped out, except for those who have accepted the will of the "Mother Goddess" several times like ordinary people.
In addition to being washed away, no matter how powerful the big shot was, he couldn't get any more information.
People like Swiss Hepburn are very smart. In order to avoid being swept away by the tail of the typhoon, they ran away the moment the superiors started fighting. However, the people who escaped with them were only ten percent of the total number of people who were lucky enough to follow them.
One part.
Duke Swiss simply did not dare to think about the expressions and moods of those men who could not squeeze into the teleportation array. But his thoughts flew to that tragic place again and again. Those who were destroyed in the waiting city
The faces outside his home appeared in his mind again and again, and their screams and curses filled his ears all the time.
Duke Swiss finally knew what kind of person he was. When he woke up from the nightmare, he realized that he could become so cruel and leave hundreds of thousands of his soldiers behind. He didn't even think about it.
Under the power of the superior clan's world-destroying magic, how did the merchant army survive? In fact, it was not his turn to think about anything at that time. Under the attack of the "Mother Goddess"'s powerful and irresistible thoughts, he
It's already remarkable that he didn't kneel down on the spot.
In the midst of deep regret, he discovered that he was actually so fragile. Cohen Keda could bet the fate of the entire human race on the gambling table without blinking an eyelid, but he still has not been able to ease the guilt in his heart.
Many things were only figured out by Duke Swice at this time. But he could not blame anyone. It is true that Cohen Keda was extremely cruel in this series of events, but at the same time, he was also extremely calm.
.Because he gave the Duke the right to choose in the first place. Whether he wanted to protect mankind or eliminate Sbia, it was the Duke's own wish to lead the merchant army step by step to the city.
So now, Duke Swice can't find any excuse to excuse himself. In fact, excuses are not too important, but this failure... is more painful than all the previous losses combined!
It’s not just the loss of personnel and materials. In previous wars, hundreds of thousands of people died from time to time. However, neither the victor nor the loser believed that this was the final outcome. The loser would just lose as badly as possible.
He won't despair, because he knows that he can go back and lick his wounds and start everything over again.
But this failure was different. That mysterious and powerful will had spread to every corner of the continent. Not to mention humans, even the gods and demons of the past could not resist it.
With this declaration of will, everyone believed that the war was over, even the Duke himself thought so. Faced with such an existence, who could have the courage to fight? Besides, there was no need, it seemed like chaos.
The battle situation of the regiment can be concluded by Sbia's side with only one sentence or an official document.
But they once again misjudged Sibia, and they also misjudged Cohen Keda. On the thirty-fifth day of the war, the Sibia Alliance began to counterattack. Their first target was those timid business groups.
Troops after the break.
In one day, the remaining troops of the Nanshang Regiment were wiped out in pieces, and many regiments were even completely wiped out. The fleeing Duke of Swiss did not even have time to make any further arrangements. A letter from Feng Qin revealed
Urgent reports of blood and destruction came like snowflakes, and then came news of large-scale surrender and automatic disintegration of the troops.
But the scope of Sibia's next attack was not limited to the battlefield. In just three days, the black tide of troops rushed to various dangerous locations behind the battlefield. Those elite and reserve troops left behind the battle line by the Duke were also in
The Sibia army was defeated in front of the offensive! The Sibia army, which had not been heard for a long time, formed giant steel pincers and smashed hard at the key locations of the Demon Alliance... Although there was not much information, Duke Sivis was also there.
There is a smell in it that is different from counterattack.
The Duke probably understood that Cohen Keda wanted to start a new round of war, a war to unify the Bis continent! He did not want to give any force a chance to breathe, nor would he give anyone a chance to make a comeback.
This is not a situation that Duke Swice can control, nor is it a war that he can avoid fighting if he wants. Looking at the entire continent, only the North-South Treaty Business Group still retains a trace of resistance. However, the Duke does not think he has the chance to win.
Hope, no, no hope at all. He is currently unable to obtain any information outside the battlefield, and even intelligence on the battlefield cannot be received in time... Fighting under such conditions can only fail.
Because the world has changed and is no longer the framework that the Duke was familiar with.
The moment the gods and demons retreat, it means the collapse of the world system they established, and another new world will be born in the hands of the "Mother Goddess" and Cohen Keda. As mortals who must live within the rules of the world,
What tricks can people like the Duke pull off even if they risk their lives?
Whenever he thinks of this, Duke Swice can understand the state of mind of Cohen Keda when he decided to resist the gods and demons... But he is not Cohen Keda, and he cannot do such a thing. All he can do is choose,
Either you put down your weapons now, bow your head, accept the situation, and admit complete failure with humility, or you can be tragic and generous, throw the pot away, risk everything you have, and then accept complete failure.
But no matter which choice he makes, it's still painful. If failure only means death, then the Duke is not afraid. Fame, power, wealth, he doesn't want anything, but it's better to leave a little hope for himself!
Under the rules of the new world, the Duke could not see the dawn of the continued existence of the Treaty Merchant Group and the Demon Alliance.
Duke Sivis felt that he was the most unlucky demon leader. It was obvious that he was incapable of fighting, but he still had the idea to persevere in his heart. Maybe it was because he was too angry, maybe because he was unwilling to give up. This kind of emotion was entangled back and forth, making him
The Duke's pain continues to rise... It is not surprising that he can remain conscious under the will of the "Mother Goddess". His rebelliousness and tenacity have long been far beyond ordinary people because of Cohen Keda.
If he loses his persistence and pride so easily, he will not be able to become a leader.
But, what should we do now? Anyone who thinks about it with his heels knows that the energy of Cohen Keda has far exceeded his own. Even with Sibia's ordinary military strength, the merchant army will not be able to defeat him in the next war.
To win, not to mention that the opponent also has the Mother Goddess. Do we have to look for an existence that can compete with the Mother Goddess? Not to mention whether we can find it, the idea itself is crazy... You know, even the gods and demons are not the Mother Goddess's.
opponent!
"Your Excellency." Outside the stables, the Duke's captain of the guard said cautiously, "There is information coming from outside."
Hearing the voice of his men, Duke Sves straightened up subconsciously, took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. Looking up, he saw a spider spinning silk and web in the hole in the roof. In the miserable wind and rain, it
The spider silk that it spits out is constantly blown by the air current and broken by the pressure of water droplets, but the little spider repairs the damage time and time again and does not show any signs of despair.
"Am I... worse than a spider?" Duke Swice folded his handkerchief and put it in his pocket, smoothed his messy hair, and light began to flash in his eyes. After a while, he emerged from the haystack.
Stand up and say to the outside: "Intelligence? Show it to me."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The captain of the guard's voice sounded like he had been relieved of a heavy burden. He walked into the stable, gave a standard military salute to the Duke, and then handed a stack of information into the hands of the Duke. This took most of the day.
Backlogged. The Duke was in a bad mood before and ignored it completely.
"How many senior officers have we contacted?" Siwes took the information and asked about more important matters, "Is there any news from Gironde?"
"General Gironde hasn't been contacted yet. I only know that he was organizing the last line of defense." The captain of the guard replied, "Other generals, three from the staff have withdrawn to Weeden City, two from the operations department, and one from the logistics department has withdrawn to Foxborough.
, the other three legion commanders took the water route and their destination was Uruk, there is no news about the others yet."
"What about the NATO treaty business group?" The Duke was talking while selecting important information to read.
The captain of the guard is now a temporary housekeeper and has to take care of everything, so these situations are very clear: "The situation with the NATO Treaty Business Group is more serious than ours, and their garrison in the Sbia Alliance has been completely cut off.
They have reached a retreat, and they are surrounded by a large force. So far, no large force has successfully retreated... However, I heard that Prince Ulysses has temporarily escaped from danger."
"I heard?" Duke Swice caught the vague word.
"Your Excellency, our intelligence system has been severely damaged. Many nodes are transmitting news for the last time. The systems close to the war zone are basically complete, and even the parts in the rear have begun to collapse." The captain of the guard looked worried, "And
,Due to mobility, it is difficult for the messages we send to reach the destination.”
"I understand, I can't blame you at all. After all, everything happened for a reason." The Duke looked at the battle report in the intelligence, and there were waves of bitterness in his heart. Sibia's army was divided into several groups, and among them, a large fleet actually entered the demonic water system.
As a result, they can repeat what the Sibia Expeditionary Force did back then, but their own side has lost even the resistance it had at that time.
"The situation collapsed too quickly!" Pieces of information were turned over in his hands. Each page or even each line represented a tragic defeat for his subordinates, or the enemy's attack on the army. These pieces of information were like cold knives,
It kept cutting back and forth in the Duke's heart, but he still couldn't express emotions like ordinary people...
After a long time, Siwei finally put away his things: "When will we leave here?"
"Tomorrow morning at the earliest." The captain of the guard added apologetically, "The previous responder is missing. We are arranging another channel to ensure that you reach the rear safely!"
The Duke nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Try to contact usable communication channels. I want to issue an order!"
Duke Swiss's order is very important, but not complicated. It can be summed up in three aspects: The first is to delegate power to local troops that cannot move, allowing these troops with weak combat effectiveness to decide their own fate, whether it is to disband on the spot.
You can surrender; the second is to order all commanders above the brigadier general level to lead elite troops and logistics, intelligence and other professional troops into latent areas according to the backup plan, and activate another set of communication methods; third, all South African treaty business groups
All branches immediately stopped all actions and waited to negotiate with the Sibia people.
The reason why he issued such an order is because the Duke knew that he could never stop the Spians, let alone the Mother Goddess. Even if he wanted to fight for something, he had to survive the drama in front of him. From this perspective
Generally speaking, the Southern Treaty Merchant Group is lucky, because they still have part of their strength left in the rear, and these unexposed forces can even be cut off from the power on the surface... As for the demonic empires, this kind of destiny is destined to
There is no need to mention the forces of destruction at all.
But in this case, the Southern Treaty Business Group will inevitably become a secret society like the Black Skull and Bones Society... But only if people can survive can there be hope! On the other hand, the North Treaty Business Group has invested too much power and will never withdraw this time.
Easy. It is very likely that Prince Ulysses could only catch two or three kittens in the end, not even the dregs left.
Duke Swice has seen through Cohen very clearly, but Prince Ulysses may not be able to see through him.
In the heart of Cohen Keda, there is a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and everything that stands in front of him will be overthrown. Perhaps, he is the most emperor-like person on this continent, and the others are only sparring partners at best.
...Of course, it is unlikely that Cohen Keda can deal with them personally now, but the power created by Cohen will definitely exceed the endurance of the Duke and Prince.
"I wish you good luck, Your Excellency the Prince. After today, we all need good luck." The Duke looked at the slanting rain falling from the sky and said with a faint sigh, "Sbia's General Staff Officer Carlos is an honest man.
However, he is very vindictive..."
Under the clouds, the rain continued, boundlessly, as if to the end of the world.
At this time, Prince Ulysses, who had fled to the territory of the Divine Alliance, was also stunned by the raindrops in the sky. Compared with Sivis Hepburn, who lost his father when he was young, Prince Ulysses's strengths are...
The reason is that the inheritance is very complete and the family's hidden power is strong. Among other things, in critical moments, the channels and props that allow a few people to escape are still available.
On the 34th day after the zero hour of the war, the prince and others used special means to escape to the Bansai Empire, and then traveled all the way to their home base on the southeastern border of Tanxi. Several bases on the side of the Dalon Mountains were definitely not allowed to go, because Sibi
The demi-humans had mastered the information there a few years ago... Although the Lord's small castle looks dilapidated now, it is enough to take on the important task of cleaning up the mess.
Yes, endgame, this is how the Prince himself defines the situation at hand.
The mighty NATO Treaty Corps army was overwhelming and had a country-shaking power of nearly half a million people. In addition to the hundreds of thousands who were instantly annihilated outside the city, there were nearly a hundred thousand who remained in the Sbia Alliance.
After the break, the troops were eaten alive in a short and fierce enemy counterattack... Old Sibia, the Mosik Empire under the current Sibia Alliance, became ferocious after uniting with the Liva Empire, and actually took the merchant group
The orderly emergency evacuation of the army turned into a pot of porridge!
On the 39th day after the zero hour of the war, the Northern Merchant Regiment Army had been cut into several pieces by the Sbia Alliance Army, and it became a chaotic situation in which you were among us, and you were among me. Although both sides were in chaos,
The Sibia people are very good at fighting this kind of battle, and outside the battlefield, the opponent's pattern of division and encirclement has been revealed. The prince knew that in a few days, as soon as the besieging troops were in place, the Sibia people's butcher knife would strike.
Will lift...
Because throughout the entire war, the Bisi fleet never showed up. When the future was uncertain, the Bisi continent's largest water force of course chose to hide, but to this day, it is impossible for them to remain hidden.
As. Then, there is only one answer, they went behind the merchant army.
The prince could still contact most of the troops at this time, but this was of little help to the overall situation, because all the legions were held back by the Sbia people, and it was difficult to concentrate and rendezvous. It was so difficult to escape, let alone the decisive battle.
At this point, the prince had only one issue to consider: dragging as many troops as possible out of Sibia's bloody mouth, even if it was one more regiment or one more squad.
The prince firmly believes that no matter what world it is, no matter what the rules are, and no matter whether the superior is a god, demon or mother goddess, as long as someone in his hand has power, he can negotiate with the other party! Cohen Keda is the opposite of gods and demons, maybe
There is also the idea of free riding to unify the continent, but he will never destroy the humans of the Divine Alliance - he is a human himself, and if he hurts too many of his kind, it will also cause harm to him.
Just because they saw this, the nobles who followed the trend softened and ran away, but the prince did not give up. The Seven-Colored Heart Brotherhood hid and recognized it, but the prince persisted as always. His tenacious creed and extensive knowledge
Tell him that now is not the time to admit defeat. Although the gods and demons have been defeated, they have not yet been surrendered. All of Cohen Keda's energy must be spent on it. The only one who can preside over the entire war is Sibia's general staff officer.
.
It is true that Carlos is a competent general staff officer, but can he really preside over the war in the north and the south at the same time?
Moreover, from a higher level, Cohen Keda has gained unprecedented authority, but at the same time, he has also shouldered an unprecedented burden - the mother goddess has returned, and people have decided that this war cannot be postponed indefinitely.
If we go on, as long as we can withstand the first round of Sibia's army's offensive, we will have seized the bargaining chip.
This is the key of the key!
"Sbia Alliance Army... General Carlos..." The rain outside stopped, and the prince turned around and picked up the tea cup, "I am waiting for you." (To be continued)
