Chapter 172 Chaos of the Sea Tribe, the Three Powerful Kingdoms in the North
"Shoot, shoot!" The commander looked at the large group of sea monsters that were rushing towards him madly, his face suddenly turned pale, he shouted in fear and gave orders to the soldiers.
But these extraordinary sixth-level Naga warriors were so fast that the gunners didn't even have time to calibrate their direction before they rushed a long distance.
Pulling out the short spear behind him, the Naga warrior roared, and threw it out based on his feeling without even aiming.
The ultimate force made the short spear burst out at a terrifying speed, cutting through the night sky like lightning and shooting towards the Alliance Navy soldiers.
shhhhh--
The soldiers of the Alliance watched this scene in horror. They had no time to dodge effectively. The short spears were like the scythe of the god of death, ruthlessly reaping lives.
Puff puff--
Alliance soldiers fell in large numbers, blood flowed like a river, and screams echoed on the battlefield.
"It's over."
The commander looked at the soldiers who died tragically, his heart filled with despair.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Naga warriors quickly approached and engaged in close combat with the Alliance warriors.
"what--"
The Naga warrior roared and thrust out with the spear in his hand.
The cold light flashed, as fast as lightning.
puff--
The spear pierced the Alliance warrior's neck.
This kind of battle scene can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, with the sea clan warriors completely suppressing the alliance warriors.
Nagas are not completely sea creatures. As amphibious creatures, they can also demonstrate strong combat capabilities on land.
What's more, this is a beach, not the inland.
And to be honest, the Alliance's naval soldiers are not very good at close combat.
After the development of magic cannons, close combat has almost disappeared from the ranks of naval warfare methods.
There is basically no chance of using it.
As for the Naga warriors, they fight on the sea all year round and are best at close combat.
The result of using one's strength to attack another's weakness is predictable. The naval soldiers on the coast were almost defeated at the first touch.
If they can’t win on the beach, it will be even worse in the sea.
As more and more sea monsters jumped out of the sea, the entire port became a performance stage for the monsters.
A dark python nearly two hundred meters long, covered with black scales and with scarlet eyes.
It is nearly three hundred meters long and dark blue all over. When it surfaces, it looks like a small island, a giant deep-sea creature.
A super giant octopus with long and thick tentacles covered with suction cups.
Sea serpents have dragon heads, fish bodies, rough skin and black scales. Their eyes are blood red, like burning rubies, flashing an evil light.
Various giant beasts are wreaking havoc in the port, as if one has suddenly dreamed back to ancient times, back to the era when giant beasts were rampant.
Even though the Alliance Navy has been developing for a long time and has been sailing the seas for hundreds of years, it is considered to be knowledgeable.
But I was still scared at this moment.
Who can tell them why the other side has so many ferocious sea beasts?
Is this really the navy of the Eternal Night Empire, not the troops of the Deep Sea Empire?
At this moment, even the Alliance’s naval commander was confused.
But judging from the enemy's fleet, it is indeed the army of the Eternal Night Empire.
But he really couldn't understand where a human empire, which had only been established for a hundred years, could get so many giant beasts?
"Lost."
Looking at the ships that were either sunk or captured, the alliance commander knew that his fleet was doomed.
This was indeed the case. Not long after, the entire fleet in this port was captured.
The fleet of the Eternal Night Empire only fired a few rounds of artillery shells at the beginning, and then watched the sea clan warriors crush the performance the whole time.
It’s not that the alliance’s navy is weak. Excluding those maritime tribes, among the three forces, the Alliance of Hundred Nations has the strongest navy.
But he was caught off guard and was totally unprepared, and he couldn't even display half of his usual fighting power.
Secondly, this is just a fleet of the alliance and cannot represent the alliance’s naval strength.
Of course, in addition to their problems, there is another major reason, which is that the combat effectiveness of these sea warriors is really strong.
It can be said that even if the fleet of the Eternal Night Empire was replaced by the Alliance Fleet, the outcome would be the same.
The only difference is that the Imperial Navy soldiers are more powerful and can be exchanged for more sea warriors and guard the coast.
As for the battleships?
This cannot be guaranteed.
"General Liu, Island No. 4271 has been completely captured. In this battle, 12315 soldiers of the Northern Alliance were killed and were captured, some of whom were natives of the island." The Naga commander who was accompanying the army on this expedition came to a warship and reported the news to the naval commander.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work, General."
Liu Xuan nodded, very satisfied with the result, and then asked: "How much did we lose?"
"This……"
The Naga leader's expression froze, as if he had not expected to be asked this question.
"Is there something you can't hide?" Seeing that the Naga leader did not answer, Liu Xuan frowned and asked in confusion.
"Not really... I just haven't figured it out yet. I'll report to you later." The Naga commander touched his head and replied awkwardly.
There is no way, there are too many sea warriors and the system is rather chaotic.
There will be losses in every battle, so unless there are huge casualties in the headquarters, they will not count their own casualties.
Let me put it this way, sometimes even the commander himself doesn’t know how many sea warriors he has led into battle.
So generally speaking, they only count the beheadings and then give corresponding rewards according to the number of beheadings.
As for those sea warriors who died in battle, being able to die on the battlefield and return to the embrace of the Ancestral God of Fear was the greatest reward for them.
For the sea people, there is no subsidy for death in battle.
In fact, having nothing is the norm. This is the case for most monster tribes. They enjoy life to the fullest, but everything becomes nothing after death.
Unlike the imperial headquarters, they have different views on bloodline inheritance and family concepts.
Liu Xuan: “…”
Liu Xuan finally understood why the consul had specifically instructed him to be more tolerant of the sea warriors when he went out to war.
This thing was done too roughly!
There is no army that does not count its own casualties. Liu Xuan has lived for so many years and has met countless armies, but this is the first time he has come across an army that only counts its gains in a battle and does not count its casualties.
And this troop is actually their own people.
For a moment, even Liu Xuan couldn't hold it anymore. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Go, and get the count as soon as possible." The Naga leader responded, walked out, and asked someone to count the casualties.
Soon, he hurried back and reported loudly: "General, the sea tribe army lost 2167 soldiers, most of whom were servants, and our own sea tribe only lost 227 soldiers."
"Okay, got it."
Liu Xuan nodded, apparently satisfied with the casualty ratio, and then ordered: "I don't know what the rules are over there, but in the Empire, post-war rewards must be distributed truthfully, without any deduction. You are following the Empire into battle this time, and you should abide by the Empire's rules!"
"Please rest assured, General. We will issue the rewards truthfully." The Naga commander replied loudly.
In the sea tribe, there aren't so many twists and turns. If you win, you'll get a reward. It's that simple.
Su Xingyu didn't care about this. As long as they didn't cross the red line, they could develop as they pleased.
Therefore, after the war, the rewards for the sea warriors will be distributed immediately.
Because this is an ancestral custom.
If you send it late, or do not send it at all, you will encounter resistance from the soldiers.
If you file a lawsuit then, you will be in trouble.
……
On land and at sea, the Eternal Night Empire exerted its strength in two aspects at the same time, catching the Hundred Nations Alliance off guard.
The Alliance of Hundred Nations was not unprepared. On the contrary, they had been preparing for a long time and had an outrageous number of props to resist the invasion of the Eternal Night Empire. However, they underestimated the strength of the Eternal Night Empire.
Although the Eternal Night Empire has been expanding and the war has never stopped, in fact, the empire has not been fully mobilized for many years.
This also caused a problem.
That is, even among the top leaders of the empire, there are actually very few elders who truly understand the strength of the empire.
Even the elders in high positions and with great power were like this, not to mention those who infiltrated and barely mixed into the citizen and aristocratic classes. Their understanding of the empire was too one-sided.
Even on this basis, the Alliance of Hundred Nations greatly increased the strength of the Eternal Night Empire.
But it is still far from enough.
Not even close.
In just half a month, most of the land on the border fell, and the Eternal Night Empire captured seventeen cities with its powerful combat capability.
The main force of the empire marched forward, captured three main cities, and marched all the way to the capital of the bordering kingdom, unstoppable.
At sea, the Imperial Fleet led the sea tribe army to clear out the spies planted by the Alliance, and then headed towards the northern waters.
…………
Northern Continent, the center.
A city was built here, a main city that gathered the essence of hundreds of countries and was extremely prosperous.
Its name is, Apocalypse.
The countries in the Hundred Nations Alliance are strong and weak.
It was a weak, tiny country with only a few million people. If it had not been for the protection of the alliance, it would have disappeared in the long river of history long ago.
The powerful ones can be called top kingdoms, with millions of soldiers and the ambition of an empire. Unfortunately, they are restricted by the constraints of the alliance and the joint suppression of various countries and cannot expand.
The three most powerful kingdoms in the Hundred Nations Alliance were the Kingdom of Lenissa, the Kingdom of Saint Ansa, and the Kingdom of Kohor. Before this, the three parties confronted each other and barely maintained the stability of the northern continent.
The Apocalypse City is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, but it is an unowned land and does not belong to any country, at least that is what it says on the surface.
In Apocalypse City, in a tall, magnificent building, all the people at the pinnacle of power in the Northern Continent gathered together to discuss important matters.
bang——
A sturdy man suddenly slammed the table and roared angrily, "Damn it, those border guards are trash! I spend so much money on them every year, and the supply of equipment and resources has never been insufficient, but in the end they can't even last a day. They are all trash. It would be more useful to raise a group of vicious dogs than to raise them."
boom--
The other middle-aged man stood up, extremely furious, and almost drew his sword:
"Bullshit, if you have the ability, go fight by yourself and feel the strength of that black-armored army, otherwise shut up! Do you really think you are great just by giving some money and equipment? Just by reading some newspapers in the rear, do you really think you have control over the battlefield situation?"
"Hmph! It's true that I haven't been to the southern border, but I have fought in many battles. In less than half a month, more than a dozen cities have fallen, including three main cities. When I was quelling the orc rebellion back then, my speed was about the same. If this isn't a waste, what is?" The sturdy man showed no sign of weakness. He also stood up and retorted.
"Hawk, you're looking for death!" The middle-aged man clenched his hands, and a long knife appeared, and he was about to chop at the burly man.
The sturdy man's face also darkened and he picked up the battle axe.
"You two calm down."
"Say less, say less."
"Now is not the time to quarrel. The key is how to deal with the Eternal Night Empire."
When everyone saw this, they stopped watching the show and quickly spoke out to dissuade the two men. The people nearby also stepped forward to stop them.
The two men were still aggressive and looked like they were going to fight if they disagreed.
Just then, the person sitting in the upper position spoke.
"Alright, that's enough. Do you really want to start a fight here?"
It was a young man wearing a gorgeous magic robe. His voice was very calm, but it carried a hint of unquestionable dominance:
"You have all read the detailed battle reports. The border troops were not responsible for the defeat this time. There was nothing wrong with their response strategy, and their equipment and props were all in place. They had already used all their means to stop the attack of the Eternal Night Army. Although they were defeated, it was still an honor. We can only say that the gap between the two sides was too big."
As the young man spoke and characterized the battle, the two men instantly quieted down and sat back in their seats.
The three main positions above belong to the three major powers.
The old man next to the young man also spoke up: "The responsibility for this battle does not lie with the border troops, but with us. We underestimated the strength of this new neighbor. They are much stronger than we thought."
"What's the point of talking about this now? Does it matter whose responsibility it is? Do we think we can resist the attack of the Eternal Night Army if we divide the responsibilities? "
The burly man on the far right said with disdain, "Everyone, the border has been breached, and the three main cities of Soko, Benis, and Lant have also fallen into the hands of the Eternal Night Empire. The capital of Liat is already on the other side's plate."
"And what are we doing? We just received the battle report and are assigning responsibilities! If things continue like this, the Kingdom of Liat can be declared extinct, and our alliance can prepare to change its name."
The sturdy man's voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire venue, and everyone fell silent.
They naturally understand such a simple truth.
But...it lacks some feeling.
After all, they were not the ones who were about to be driven to the capital.
"His Majesty Gejier is right. We can't wait any longer. We must unite and contribute our strength and money to resist the attack of the Eternal Night Empire and let them see our strength."
A slightly plump middle-aged man responded immediately and shouted very generously: "The Principality of Gothic is willing to send half of its army and 150,000 civilians to the alliance to support the resistance."
As the man spoke, someone soon responded.
"The Principality of Kami is willing to provide 300,000 light crystals..."
"The Principality of Ross is willing to support 200,000 servants..."
