Chapter 192 The Advantages of Youth

"war!"

"You all die!"

They attacked each other with their swords, and neither side had any intention of retreating. They were all determined to get rid of the opponent first, and they were very fierce.

defense?

No need to defend.

As long as you send your opponent away first and prevent them from launching a second attack, there is no need to defend.

Under the education of the Eternal Night Empire, the Eternal Night warriors are very brave and sometimes do not take their own lives seriously at all.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with an atmosphere of tyranny.

The knight of the Eternal Night Empire slashed at the kingdom's guard with a sword, instantly tearing his armor apart, then breaking his blood armor, and finally slicing his body open.

The faces of the Kingdom Guards were filled with determination and resolve, and their last attack also fell on the Knight of Eternal Night.

However, the attack that was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks and break metal armor only made a dull impact sound.

The black armor glowed with a deep glow, and the sharp sword was swallowed up and dissolved.

Sparks flew.

This fatal attack was neutralized silently.

"This is meteorite iron from outer space, how is it possible?!" As if he recognized the material of the equipment, the royal guard's eyes opened wide before he died, full of shock and disbelief.

He didn't understand why such precious meteorite would be used on an ordinary soldier.

With full of doubts and unwillingness, the kingdom's guard slowly fell to the ground.

"I have to say, you guys are quite capable, but it's a pity that you met me." Looking down at the narrow white marks on the armor, the Eternal Night Knight shook his head and grinned, expressing his recognition of the strength of the Kingdom's Guards.

This royal guard of the kingdom is very powerful, and even he might not win in a fair fight.

However, the battlefield is never a place to seek fairness.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is not only determined by the strength of the soldiers, but also by logistical supplies and equipment.

After years of development, the Eternal Night Empire has already surpassed most players in terms of equipment and technology. As for the forces of these local planes, they have been left so far behind that they can't even see their shadows.

Among all "catalysts", war is the most effective in promoting technological development. Under the influence of this, the Eternal Night Empire has developed rapidly in recent years.

The Hundred Nations Alliance also absorbed a lot of knowledge and developed rapidly during its battle with the Eternal Night Empire.

However, the gap between the two sides has not narrowed, but has become wider and wider.

As for why this happens?

Ultimately, there is only one reason: the gap in resources.

Let’s put it this way, the Hundred Nations Alliance only owns the Northern Continent.

For the Eternal Night Empire, the Eastern Continent is only part of the empire's territory, not all of it. They also own much larger territories in the void.

Although most of those territories are in the development stage, it is undeniable that the resources of those lands are indeed rich.

The Hundred Nations Alliance and the Eternal Night Empire are not on the same level in terms of resources.

Just like the blue country before, as long as it gets on the right track, the country with vast territory and rich resources will demonstrate strength beyond the imagination of other countries.

Can't stop it.

The same is true now. The Eternal Night Empire, which is supported by many void planes, has no shortage of resources, and they don't care about cost-effectiveness at all.

As long as it can improve combat effectiveness, then we can create it.

As for cost?

Just kidding, there is no cost at all.

The Eternal Night Empire is not short of undead creatures, and there are countless tree people who want to work in the void plane.

For the Eternal Night Empire, the only cost is probably the mining wages.

However, compared with the value of the ore itself, these are nothing.

Meteorite iron is a very precious resource in the Hundred Nations Alliance and is usually only equipped to high-level transcendents. However, the Eternal Night Empire is different and they equip all their warriors with it.

The two sides are almost one level apart in equipment.

In addition to equipment, there are also significant gaps in other aspects.

The most obvious thing is the mount.

That is a difference that can be seen at a glance.

The environment of the Northern Continent is very suitable for breeding horses, and the war horses carefully selected by the kingdom are all very majestic and can be called the king of horses.

However, compared with the Eternal Night Empire, the gap is too big.

The Hundred Nations Alliance used the entire prairie to train war horses and fed them with fine feed, while the Eternal Night Empire used the entire demiplane to train war horses and fed them with spiritual herbs and ferocious beast meat.

After years of cultivation, the Eternal Night Empire now has many excellent horse breeds.

For example, the nightmare horse is a horse that has been tainted by darkness, mixed with blood, and is most suitable for believers of darkness.

Another example is the dragon blood horse, which focuses on physical training, has well-developed muscles, and emphasizes endurance, strength, and explosiveness.

Or maybe it's the Swift Horse that's as fast as the wind, can travel a thousand miles a day, and has extreme speed.

In addition, there are many...

The mounts of this noble army are nightmare horses.

To put it bluntly, without the help of knights, just relying on these nightmare horses, we can defeat many mid-level legions.

"Hahaha, all of you die!"

"You are just a soldier from the kingdom, but you think you can stop us? You really overestimate your abilities."

"Under the gaze of my Lord, I grant you death!!!"

Roaring, one by one the black-armored knights broke through the defense line of the Kingdom's Guards. They swung their long swords and chopped down the Kingdom's Guards in front of them.

No matter how the kingdom's guards resisted, it was of no avail.

There is no point in talking about other things at this time. After all, everyone has the same extraordinary realm and the same firm will, so the only thing that can be competed is hard power.

In this regard, the Eternal Night Knight has a clear advantage.

In addition to equipment and other external items, there is also a most fatal gap between the two legions.

age.

Compared with the Royal Guards of the Kingdom, the noble corps of the Eternal Night Empire is really too young. They are generally a generation younger than the Royal Guards of the Kingdom.

Sometimes, youth is the greatest asset.

Because youth means passion, drive, and room for improvement.

This does not mean that the Kingdom Guards are too old. According to their lifespan, they are in their prime and all their body functions are at their peak.

If there is no breakthrough in the future, then this period will be the time when they have the strongest combat effectiveness.

Yes, the strongest.

Your peak, my starting point. The clash between middle-aged and young people.

You've reached the end, and I've only just begun!
So this will lead to a very ridiculous phenomenon, where it is very easy for the opponent to upgrade during the fight.

This was exactly the situation on the battlefield at that moment. As time went on, this young legion began to improve under the pressure brought by the Kingdom's Guards.

Things that I couldn't understand before are now gradually becoming clear in my mind.

Feeling this change, the Kingdom's Guards felt powerless.

The young warriors on the opposite side were constantly furious, and they wanted to do the same, but the reality was cruel and they were powerless.

They have already been shaped.

I no longer have the spirit I had when I was young.

Having lost the confidence that “even if this path is wrong, I can still start over”, they can no longer do it.

Being young is the greatest confidence.

"Hahaha, come on, let's fight to our heart's content!" Thunder rumbled in the center of the battlefield. Axel's face was hideous, with many wounds on his body, but his momentum was getting stronger and stronger. Thunder attached to his body, making crackling sounds.

The spear was swung continuously, and each swing brought up a gust of wind. Lightning flashed, and the shadow of the spear could not be seen clearly.

"Hu-hu-"

Basel was breathing heavily, his injuries becoming increasingly serious, and he was struggling to block the spear and resist the attack.

Feeling Axe's growing momentum, Basel also felt powerless.

He clearly injured Axl, but the opponent's fighting power increased instead of decreased.

"General, we can't win, let's retreat. We can still run away now, but it will be all over in a while." Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the adjutant beside him hurriedly suggested.

"We can't retreat. The enemy's horses are better than ours. Retreating would mean suicide." Basel was silent for a while and quickly replied.

As a qualified general, Bazel did not think retreat was shameful.

But the problem now is that they can't run away.

Once the battle began, Bazel realized that either they would completely defeat this imperial cavalry, or they would all be buried here.

As for retreat?

Sorry, there is no such option.

The difference in the quality of the horses was too great, and they couldn't escape at all.

Now, relying on their determination, they can still fight against the Knights of Eternal Night.

Once you choose to retreat, your spirit will have been lost and you can only wait for death.

"You're so tough. You don't even run away."

The black-armored captain beheaded the soldier in front of him with one sword and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As time goes by, the fighting power of the Eternal Night Knights becomes stronger and stronger, while the situation of the Kingdom Guards is just the opposite. They become more and more uncertain the more they fight.

No matter how strong their will was, when their own soldiers kept falling while the enemy suffered little loss and was growing stronger, they could not help but feel despair and began to doubt themselves.

Once the belief is shaken, it will affect the overall situation like a chain reaction of lightning.

Finally, after a day of fierce fighting.

The fighting on this battlefield finally stopped.

Axe looked ahead and saw that there was no one standing as far as the naked eye could see.

The Kingdom's Royal Guard was completely annihilated.

"Report to the general, the casualties have been counted."

"explain."

"We lost 1,372 men and killed more than 10,000 enemies." The officer who came to report the situation was very excited and said with a smile, "General, a great victory! Even if it is the regular army of the empire, facing the Royal Guards, I am afraid that only the first few legions can achieve such a high casualty ratio."

"Yeah." Axe nodded silently, his expression still calm, without any joy on his face.

There are many legions within the Eternal Night Empire that can defeat the Sixth-Rank Guards.

However, there were only a few that were able to annihilate an entire legion.

Being able to lead this newly formed noble army to achieve such success, Axe's ability is undoubtedly very strong.

"Gather their bodies and burn them," Axe said after a while.

"Yes, General," the officer responded immediately and loudly.

As believers of Eternal Night, they naturally also mastered the art of summoning the undead, but no one suggested doing so.

After a brief rest, Axe led the legion into the grassland again and began to look for other opponents.

Both sides deployed hundreds of thousands of troops and the battle was extremely fierce, but the overall situation was very clear. The Eternal Night Empire had the advantage and the battle line advanced all the way forward, heading straight for the kingdom's capital.

Faced with the powerful Eternal Night Legion, the kingdom was completely unable to resist and was defeated.

Compared to when the war first started, the warriors of the Eternal Night Empire have become much stronger.

……

At the same time, in a sea area close to the northern continent.

In this turbulent sea, the coastline of the northern continent is vaguely visible, and a large-scale naval battle is taking place here.

Hundreds of warships were like steel giants, scattered across the sea. Their hulls shone with a cold light in the sun, and their flags fluttered in the wind, indicating their respective camps. The artillery fire intertwined into one, the flames shot up into the sky, the sound of cannons continued, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with seawater filled the air. The intensity of the battle could be imagined.

"Aim, shoot, and smash their ships for me." In this naval battle, the Eternal Night Empire had an absolute advantage. Even during the expedition to the Northern Continent, they still firmly suppressed the Alliance Navy on the opponent's home turf.

On the warships hundreds of meters long, the magic cannons emitted low roars, and dazzling light gathered at the muzzles.

Then, streaks of light streaked across the sky, falling towards the enemy fleet like meteors. Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and the enemy ships broke apart and sank under these powerful attacks.

Each of the warships of the Eternal Night Empire is hundreds of meters long. They are like castles on the sea, indestructible.

In front of these behemoths, the ships of the Alliance Navy seemed small and fragile. Although they fought back with all their might, their resistance seemed so powerless under the fierce bombardment of the Eternal Night Empire's magic cannons.

In addition to naval warships, the empire also has sea warriors and super sea beasts to assist in combat.

One by one, the nimble Naga warriors, leading their murloc servants, jumped out of the sea and landed on the deck of the warship.

These half-human, half-snake creatures with snake bodies are known for their agility and strength. Their bodies are covered with black scales, which can not only protect them from damage from swords, but also allow them to swim freely in water.

"Damn monster, get off me." As the sea warriors landed on the deck, the battle became fierce. The alliance warriors of the Hundred Nations Alliance, who had been waiting for a long time on the warships, rushed up directly and fought with them.

The Hundred Nations Alliance, which had seen the sea warriors in their early years, had already taken precautions against their landing and was not as panicked as it was at the beginning.

These alliance warriors are different from those in the past. They also have strong combat capabilities in close combat.

At least this time, it wasn't a one-sided situation.

“You don’t know your own limitations.” The huge Naga warrior sneered, raised his hand and stabbed out with a spear. His speed was so fast that the Alliance warrior who rushed over didn’t even see the shadow of the spear. He just felt a pain in his body and a bloody hole as big as a bowl appeared on his chest.

The close combat capability of the Alliance Navy has indeed become stronger.

But it means nothing to the Naga warriors.

After many transformations, they can even be called the top ocean overlords.
