The Water Qilin Empire and the Business Alliance are also located in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, but the Business Alliance focuses on the development of its own commerce, which can be seen from the fact that it is a country with a parliamentary system, and it has a trade network that spans the entire Central Continent plus the Southwest Continent and the Southern Continent. Contrary to the commercial alliance, the Water Qilin Empire is indeed a country that focuses entirely on military development and is a country that governs the country by force.

In one aspect, the Water Qilin Empire is very similar to the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, that is, the Water Qilin Empire has the same ambition and desire to conquer as the Great Empire, of course, the Great Empire will restrain its ambition and desire to conquer, and do what it can, but the Water Qilin Empire is different, for the empire, there are not even collaborators of interest among his neighbors, and some only have enemies. This is also the reason why the Water Qilin Empire is still an empire-level power until now.

However, Sun Lin had to admit that although the qualifications of the Water Qilin Empire in the empire's commerce and agricultural construction were mediocre, the combat effectiveness of the Water Qilin Empire's army was extremely strong, and although the Barnum shield soldiers belonging to the militia-level troops of the Water Qilin Empire were only equipped with long daggers or iron short swords, and only a layer of cloth armor or leather armor on their bodies, they were all equipped with wooden tower shields and even iron tower shields with extremely strong defensive power, which were not mobile but could absorb most of the enemy's long-range firepower. It makes up for the shortcomings of the limited ranged units of the Water Kirin Empire; As the second-line troops of the Water Qilin Empire: Darlan Light Cavalry and Sante Hand Crossbowmen, the flexible tactics they master do not have to be worse than the auxiliary cavalry and ordinary longbowmen who never set, as for the professional troops of the Water Qilin Empire: Watt War Hammer Soldiers, this kind of heavy infantry equipped with heavy plate armor and hammer shield can often turn into a nightmare for the opponent's light infantry when they can compete with the enemy's sword and shield heavy infantry. Not to mention those who are armed with two-handed sledgehammers and riding water unicorn horses (one of the types of horses in the king continent, characterized by the quality of high-level heavy cavalry horses, their movement speed is faster than those high-level heavy cavalry horses, but the endurance is reduced, the skin of this ** is sky blue with a little gold, and the hair on the body is golden red, in the Taoist legends believed by the people of the Eastern Continent, the unicorn has some similarities in the face shape, Therefore, the people of the Western Regions of the Central Continent changed this kind of war horse, which was originally called the Blue Horse of the Western Regions, to the Water Qilin Horse) Qilin Heavy Knight.

And after the Water Qilin Empire with these powerful troops entered the territory of the New Atlantan Kingdom in the inland area of the Western Continent, in just a few dozen days, until the morning of the day before yesterday, it captured several important towns of the New Atlantan Kingdom, although the New Atlantan Kingdom has not yet fallen, but it is also a matter of time, and Sun Lin believes that the previous wall grass lords and minor nobles who obeyed the New Atlantan Kingdom will definitely surrender to the Water Qilin Empire at the moment of the fall of the New Atlantan Kingdom, At that time, the inland defense line of the Western Continent Army of the Great Empire will be completely leaked under the noses of the 400,000 troops of the Water Qilin Empire.

"This battle must be more difficult and tragic than an Atlantean defense battle, our enemy, that is, the Water Qilin Empire, can be said to have poured out of the nest this time, and use all its national strength to have the hardest collision with our great empire, and as the defender, we must not only resist and repel the 400,000 army, but also must not let the war zone of this battle extend beyond Philadelphia during the battle, because the ocean of the Western Continent and the outer continent are now under intense reconstruction, and they cannot be disturbed in any way, And if we can, our three generals in the Western Continent had better resist the miscellaneous fragments of the Water Qilin Empire outside the defense line, and they must not be allowed to step into the rear of the defense line, and we must not only compete in the strength of the army in this battle, but also in the competition of religious beliefs and people's hearts, and even these two aspects are more difficult than the battle of army strength. ”

Just as Sun Lin said to everyone, this battle also involved religious issues, because the Water Qilin Empire in the Western Regions of the Central Continent is one of the few empires in the Central Continent that has set the Poseidon Cult as the state religion, and the original Atlanta Empire also believes in the Poseidon Religion, so the Atlantans living in the Western Continent are almost all followers of the Poseidon Sect, on the other hand, the people in the Great Empire where the sun never sets either believe in Shinto or Christianity. This made the Water Qilin Empire famous to a certain extent: after all, no sect member wanted the holy land in his heart to be invaded by people from other sects.

Under such circumstances, the Atlanta Seagod Cultists in the northwest region of the Central Continent inland to the Western Continent are likely to be instigated by those Seagod Cult sacrifices of the Water Qilin Empire and join the army attacking the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, and become the lackeys of the Water Qilin Empire. Even some people in the areas that were previously absorbed by the Sunset Empire would wreak havoc in the rear of the Western Continental Army of the Sunset Empire. This makes the current situation in the Western Continent even more severe.

“……… However, Your Majesty, can't the affairs of the Western Continent be left to the three colleagues stationed in the Western Continent to be resolved, why do you have to summon us to deal with this matter? After hearing Sun Lin's explanation, Andelt immediately raised the doubts in his heart. In this regard, Sun Lin sighed lightly and said: "Because if we are going to attack the Ottoman Empire or the United Kingdom of Helgen now, we must use materials, and these materials are equally important for the more than 100,000 troops guarding the Western Continent............ And you should know that our Great Empire does not know much about the terrain of the inland area of the Western Continent, and the Western Continent itself lacks war horses to act as mounts for scouts, and the terrain of the inland of the Western Continent itself is not suitable for cavalry movement, so I hope to send more than 5,000 griffon knights currently stationed in the Middle Continent to the Western Continent, so that they can act as reconnaissance troops and act as a surprise soldier by the way. But how should I fight after the mainland expeditionary force loses the air cavalry regiment in the middle of the sun. ”

"So, your majesty doesn't want to give up the newly occupied territories in the Western Continent?" Bobby asked.

"After all, the land there has the legacy of the Atlanta Empire for thousands of years, and it is much richer than the territory of the Ottoman Empire, so it would be a pity to abandon it."

"Nachen thinks that those materials are also transported to the Western Continent, but ......... At the same time, I believe that the offensive in the Central Continent cannot be slowed down. ”
