Chapter 706: Griffon Plague (12)

In early March, as the war broke out in full swing between the Great Empire of the Sun and the two great human empires of the Middle Continent, it was realized that the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets might no longer be able to take care of any area that was not its territory, and even its rear could not take care of the forces of the Central Continent, finally began to show their vicious fangs, and began to look at those forces that had been blessed and cared for by the Great Empire of the Sun Never Set before, and even those who had become allies of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Set. As for the rear of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, it is not impossible for others to worry about it because the residual power of the sun never sets is still there, but it just can't be remembered by others.

The first to bear the brunt of the battle between the three great empires is the power of the mother of the great empire on which the sun never sets, the Western Qin Empire of the Eastern Continent. Because the sun never sets is no longer able to provide assistance in terms of soldiers and baggage, and the warriors within the Western Qin Empire have become more and more eager to let the Western Qin Empire sever relations between the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets this year, so that the attitude of the Great Empire towards the Western Qin Empire in recent years is even worse than that of the Crescent Empire, so that the countries of the Eastern Continent, including those who were forced to the Western Qin Empire under the threat of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets, began to move, and finally formed a war alliance against the Western Qin Empire in the Eastern Continent on March 4, Officially declared war on the Western Qin Empire.

At the beginning of the declaration of war, the Western Qin Empire had a very high advantage in the days before the battle between the forward troops and even the main forces of the two sides, because of the restoration and construction of domestic infrastructure that was not only completed with the assistance of the Great Empire, but also a military reorganization and expansion. Moreover, because the Western Qin Empire obtained a certain amount of patterned steel from the red fortress and used the sophisticated weapons forged from these high-quality raw materials to equip its elite legions, these elite Xiyi warriors made a reputation of "battlefield death" on the battlefield, resulting in the Western Qin Empire also gaining a lot of fame in diplomacy.

However, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and no force is willing to witness the rise of a force with strong potential. And the fact that the development of the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets did not curb the development of the Great Empire that caused the Great Empire of the Sun to become as strong as it is now, and it threatened the power of the King Continent is a fact that is placed in front of the power of the King Continent, so the time for the Western Qin Empire to fight with other forces in the East Continent has not yet passed, and the forces of the Eastern Regions of the Central Continent began to intervene in the battle of the Eastern Continent under various pretexts, and continued to support the war alliance against the Western Qin Empire in terms of materials and soldiers.

As the so-called two fists are invincible with four feet, although the Western Qin Empire is strong, but after all, the dark wounds left by the previous war to Western Qin are still there, plus at that time, it was his own enemy who had no backup, and his side had the strong backup of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, and now there is no backup on his side. His enemy's side obtained a backup that was not as lethal as the sun never set, but it was also very fatal to his side, and in this case, the Western Qin Empire soon fell into a predicament.

It is worth mentioning that when the Western Qin Empire was in trouble, as the leading family in the Chinese official system of the two major bureaucratic systems of the Western Qin Empire, the Mo family once sent to the current emperor of the Western Qin Empire. That is, the father of Yue'er, the mother of the Great Empire, wrote to him, hoping that he could once again pull down his face and ask for support from the Great Empire.

Of course, in this case, don't say whether Sun Lin has the opportunity to consider rejecting it. Because this situation did not give Sun Lin a chance to refuse at all: because the influence of the martial arts in the two bureaucratic systems had not been diminished. Moreover, the war had just begun, and the power in the hands of the martial arts had not been weakened much, in such a situation, the Western Qin warriors who rejected the great empire on which the sun never set were of course strongly opposed to the methods proposed by this member of the Wen family, and under the pressure of the martial arts, Yue'er's father, the King of Qin, finally chose to let the Western Qin Empire have the power of one person to resist the incoming enemy.

And for this......... Of course, Sun Lin was very happy. In fact, if it weren't for his wife's face, the Sun Never Sets Empire would not have taken care of the Western Qin Empire, which is more and more like a white-eyed wolf, of course, for the sake of insurance in the future, Sun Lin still secretly contacted the Sun Never Set Intelligence Network. The reason why they did this was not because Sun Lin wanted to sell his teammates, but because Sun Lin knew that sometimes only after the pain had passed, he would remember who had been good to him, and the icing on the cake was far less useful than sending charcoal in the snow.

And with the ignition of the war in the West and East Continents, the two regions of the Southwest Continent and the Southeast Continent were immediately ignited, and the essential factors that caused this situation could not be regarded as caused by the power of the three major empires such as the Great Empire, but it could not be separated from the three major empires, because it was the new members of the Crescent Moon Empire of the Conqueror Alliance in the Anti-Sun Never Set Alliance-the Orc Great Empire.

After a half-year-long war of attrition led by the Crescent Moon Army of the Southern Continent and the Lion Prince of the Orc Great Empire at the junction of the forest, the original neutral Mithril Alliance established by the goblin clan suddenly chose to merge with the Crescent Moon Empire, coupled with the lack of materials and many other factors, the nearly one million army on the Orc side suffered a crushing defeat. The Great Empire of the Sunset, which was constantly encroaching on the coastal areas of the Orc Empire, also gained hundreds of thousands of orc slaves, but this seemed to be a happy situation for everyone, but it could not make the Crescent Empire happy.

First of all, although the Crescent Moon Empire has obtained many territories of the Orc Empire, because the elves are almost unable to survive in the area without forests, and although the humans in the southern continent can, there are not many people after all, which leads to the fact that the Crescent Empire wants to seize all the territory of the Orc Empire west of the Oakland River Basin, but due to the population problem, the Crescent Empire is ultimately unable to erode all the territory of the Orc Empire in this area. The elves and orcs can already be regarded as a feud, because there is a comprehensive conflict between the two peoples in terms of religion and living habits, and although the humans of the Southern Continent do not reject the orcs, as these orc people who have been ruled by the orc empire for thousands of years, with the grudge-holding character of the high-level of the orc empire, how could they let the people of the orcs forget the persecution of the orc alliance by the human alliance back then?

And the powerlessness of the Crescent Empire will make it suffer its own bitter fruit after all: the Xiyi fleet of the Great Empire will withdraw from the battlefield in the Western Regions of the Southern Continent with the sun never setting. A sharp blade hanging on the head of the Orc Great Empire has been removed, although its coastline has been destroyed miserably, and all the fleets it has have been wiped out in the South China Sea, and on the other hand, the Crescent Moon Empire still has a certain number of warships to harass its own coast, but at least with the departure of the warships with extremely strong transportation capabilities of the Great Empire, their coastal line does not need to be careful that the Crescent Moon Empire with more than a thousand people will launch a surprise attack on it, This also means that the orc troops that originally guarded the coastal line of their territory will be liberated, and they will not have to face the sea that has scared them for a while every day.

The large reduction in the number of defensive forces also means that the strength of the expeditionary combat force of the Orc Empire has increased, and the Orc Empire, which is a soldier for all people, can almost get millions of people in terms of pulling cannon fodder. In fact, the Orc Empire does not lack experienced warriors, they just lack orc warriors wearing armor (there are almost no ranged troops in the Orc Army, and even the Troll Thrower can only be counted as a short-range combat class, plus many other factors, the Orc Empire is destined to only play crowd tactics). And in such a situation, soldiers with armor and weapons become a must-have class). And maybe the Beast Emperor and the Orc High Priest chose to give up on themselves, or maybe the heads of these two guys have finally opened their heads. Of course, this does not exclude the possibility that something that clogs the nerves in his head will be scattered by the sun and his back will not set. Anyway, after the fleet on the side of the sun never set, the Orc Empire finally no longer missed the western part of the Southern Continent that it owned, and gave up letting the troops open up the Oakland River, and instead let their army attack the territory of the Crescent Empire in the eastern part of the Southern Continent.

Although the Orc Empire didn't know that the main force of the New Moon Empire had already fought a big battle with the main force in the western part of the Southern Continent of the Orc Empire led by their Lion Prince, they didn't know that their side was defeated. Moreover, it is impossible to know the Dao with the backward intelligence system of the Orc Empire, but the Orc Empire knows one thing, that is, Lao Tzu wants to take revenge on the Crescent Moon Empire, and since your Crescent Moon Empire has attacked the western part of the southern continent of our Orc Empire. Then our Orc Empire will be able to attack the territory of the eastern region of the Southern Continent of your Crescent Empire.

Therefore, the Beast Emperor of the Orc Empire can be regarded as almost all the combat strength in the eastern region of the Southern Continent of the Orc Empire, plus hundreds of thousands of orc cannon fodder warriors recruited in the name of the Orc High Priest All gathered together, and led the most elite million army of the Orc Empire (this is the strength of the Orc Empire, although they are very backward in all aspects of technology, but as long as they are given time to breathe, the Orc Empire can pull up a cannon fodder at will in an instant, even if they are all orc warriors, However, the average combat power is also equivalent to the combat power of the second-tier class of the human army, and it launched a strong attack on the territory of the Crescent Empire.

It is not a coincidence that the Orc Empire chose the time to attack, because when the Orc Empire's army chose to attack, the assessment troops of the Crescent Moon Empire just received an order written by the Crescent Elf King himself 3 days before the attack, asking the troops to stop advancing and start camping in place to rest.

Perhaps literally this is a good thing for the Crescent Empire, because at least their troops will not be further away from the coastline, and the 3-day or so rest time can also give the soldiers of the Crescent Empire a rare time to relax, but the problem is that this army is now on an expedition to the interior of the Southern Continent! In other words, the main force of the Crescent Moon Empire has now penetrated deep into the interior of the Southern Continent, so how can they rush back to the territory of the Crescent Empire in the eastern part of the Southern Continent to defend themselves!

As a result, when the main force of the Crescent Empire dragged all their tired bodies to the Crescent Empire's Terran King City-Gemayyad City, now except for this fortified coastal city that has not been captured, the rest of the area has become an invasion area of the Orc Empire, and what's worse is that although the Crescent Empire had thought that the Orc Empire would commit atrocities in its own territory, so the Crescent Empire began to evacuate those people who stayed in the eastern part of the Southern Continent while declaring war on the Orc Empire, but due to the huge evacuation project, And the most important thing is that there are no warships on the Crescent Empire's side (the Sun Never Sets Empire refused to provide warships to assist the Crescent Empire's evacuation work, and one of the reasons is that it is worried that the gunpowder weapon technique will be stolen by the Crescent Empire). The second is that Sun Lin himself believes that the Crescent Moon Empire can't be allowed to go on in such a smooth sailing, and they must be allowed to feel the piercing pain, so that the Crescent Moon Empire will hold the thigh of the Conqueror Alliance even more), so when the Orc Great Empire invaded, there were still nearly 400,000 New Moon Empire Ziming who were slaughtered.

And then, even worse news reached the ears of the Crescent Empire's Shuangwan and the Great Druid: although the main force of the Crescent Empire beat the orcs in the western part of the Southern Continent to death, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and these orcs naturally hated elves, how could they tolerate elves and those hateful humans walking around their territory? So it wasn't long after the Crescent Army left. The orc tribes who had been forced to migrate to the depths of the southern continent returned to their homeland and fought a guerrilla war against the children and militia of the Crescent Empire without any organization.

If it was just that, it was not enough to be afraid, after all, these orcs were just some people to the Crescent Moon Empire, and at most they were bandits, those Southern Continent human militia troops with orc blood. The elven ranger troops, paired with archery melee combat, were enough to quiet this group of orcs.

PS: The harsh living environment of the Southern Continent makes the originally peace-loving elves have to prepare for survival. So from ancient times to the present day. Adult males of the elves must join the Ranger Battalion founded by the Druids as a ranger for 5 years when they reach adulthood, and although these rangers are not as good as the elven archers in the regular army in all aspects, at least they have inherited the elves' exquisite archery skills, and the equipment they use is eliminated by the regular army. A few notches stronger than the militia units, the Elven Ranger units are almost as effective as the Yoman longbowmen of the Sunset Empire, and they are now the best patrol garrisons in the Crescent Empire (which can be moved in various regions). But it does not belong to the regular army, it exists like a patrol force in the territory of the empire).

But is it as easy as the Crescent Empire envisions? As the saying goes, the grass is not eradicated, and the wind blows the grass and grows again, although the Crescent Empire killed all the armored warriors on the orc side in that war. The war beast and 99% of the troops participating in the war, and even the leader of this orc million-strong army, the lion prince, also died in the chaos, but his descendants did not die, on the contrary, this cargo in the process of escaping because it carried 500 family guards, as a result, not only in the process of evacuation, but also with 500 loyal guards gathered a large group of orcs heroes, and began to set off on the 5th day after the departure of the orcs who were repatriated to their homeland, And with his own wisdom, he guessed the current situation of the Crescent Empire (after all, he is a descendant of the Golden Family, as long as he is not a fool, and his parents' education is not a problem, they are more or less real people), and began to set off a frenzy of guerrilla warfare in the rear of the Crescent Empire.

Under the leadership of this young lion general, the orc motley legion gathered beside him, which has expanded to thousands of heroes, relies on his familiarity with this area, and the assistance of his fellow clans around, plus the orc warriors must have combat effectiveness and stamina, and the legs of the orc warriors in the wide desert are even more effective than the four hooves of war horses, and they began to encircle and hunt those patrols of the Crescent Empire, and sometimes even very boldly went to steal the camp in the absence of supplies.

Due to the continuous return of orc refugees from the depths of the Southern Continent, this lion general does not have to worry about the problem of soldiers at all, because with his fame in recent days, and he himself has a good identity, so as long as this young lion general waves his hand, there will be countless orc warriors to fight for him, and on the other hand, the Crescent Empire has no way to deal with this growing orc guerrilla army because of the shortage of troops on the front line.

Although the Crescent Empire had also sought the help of the Sun Never Setting Empire, no matter whether Sun Lin wanted it or not, the Sun Never Set Empire could only provide assistance in material terms now, after all, the battle of the Maginot Line was no joke, and the Sun Never Set Army relied on the advantage of weapons, and sometimes the strength of a hundred people could decide the outcome of the war.

In such a situation, the Crescent Moon Empire can only ask for other help, and the only thing that can help him is the power of the neighboring continent, so the Crescent Moon Empire relies on the friendship between the sun and some coastal forces in the southwest continent, and begins to pull these forces and ask them to lend troops to themselves, obviously the Crescent Empire succeeded, but this also made the situation in the King Continent more chaotic and worse. (To be continued......)
