Chapter 199 The upcoming decisive battle, the Blood Empire's thoughts

As all parties were moving forward steadily, more than a decade passed in the blink of an eye.

As time went by, the power that the Eternal Night Empire invested in the Northern Continent became stronger and stronger, and more and more warriors traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Continent to join the war.

For these warriors, this is both danger and a rare opportunity.

Today, the main force of the Hundred Nations Alliance has been pinned down by the Imperial Army. The rest are either rebels or ragtag armies. There is a considerable gap in strength between them and them, so they are not to be feared at all.

If we don't fight and gain military merit at this time, are we waiting to directly participate in the final decisive battle?

Today's Northern Continent is an undeveloped treasure land for the people of the empire.

Anyone with a little ability and the ability to bring a group of people over could easily occupy a piece of land and become a member of the aristocratic class.

This cross-class temptation is something they cannot refuse.

At this moment, both the people of the empire and the people of the Northern Continent can clearly realize that the Hundred Nations Alliance is about to perish and the Northern Continent is about to change hands.

Compared to before the war, the number of forces within the Hundred Nations Alliance has been greatly reduced.

Some were completely destroyed under the iron hoof of the empire and turned into dust in history, while others were frightened by the empire's military power and chose to surrender.

It can no longer be called an alliance of a hundred nations. At most, there are only ten left.

But one thing that is commendable is that they have achieved internal unity.

Under the oppression of the imperial army, they were forced to achieve a high degree of unification, and now the situation of fighting each other will no longer occur.

If they can survive this wave of attacks, perhaps a superpower comparable to the Blood Empire will be born in the Northern Continent in the future.

Maybe it will be smaller in size than the Hundred Nations Alliance, but it is definitely stronger than the Hundred Nations Alliance.

A snake cannot survive without a head. The reason why the Hundred Nations Alliance suffered a disastrous defeat was partly because the army of the Eternal Night Empire was too strong, but the most important reason was that they failed to integrate their internal strength.

It would be good enough if countries could avoid causing trouble, let alone help each other.

Every country has its own thoughts. If a battle goes smoothly for them, they can collect military merits and eat meat and drink soup together, which is fine. But if they encounter a tough opponent, their shortcomings will become apparent.

The ability to unite internally was their only gain in this war.

It laid a foundation for the future unification of the northern continent.

If... they still have a future.

No matter how you look at it, the Northern Continent Alliance has no future.

This is not just because the country has been lost, the countries have rebelled, and the enemy is at the gates.

The most crucial point is that the people of their kingdom have begun to disapprove of their rule.

The lands occupied by the empire in its early days have now been assimilated.

The people on this land recognized the rule of the Eternal Night Empire.

Classes still exist, but compared to the period of the Hundred Nations Alliance, the future is dark. Under the rule of the Eternal Night Empire, they still have some hope.

So they all threw themselves into the arms of the Eternal Night Empire, which made the nobles of the kingdom grit their teeth.

Land and people, these are the main reasons why the Hundred Nations Alliance can fight a war of attrition with the Eternal Night Empire.

Now, the territory has been lost and the people have betrayed.

They can't resist for long with their existing troops.

Once destroyed, there would be absolutely no possibility of restoration, and all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom were aware of this.

They did not want their kingdom to be destroyed and become a line of words in future history books, becoming a stepping stone for other countries to reach the top.

Under this oppression, the remaining high-ranking officials of the kingdom began to go crazy.

They would try every possible means to resist the army of the Eternal Night Empire, whether it was blood sacrifice, praying to the evil god, or accepting the harsh conditions of the Blood Empire. As long as the kingdom could survive, they would use all means at all costs.

The few remaining young and strong men were recruited and irrigated with secret methods to speed up their growth at the cost of destroying their roots, and then they were sent to fight against the Legion of Eternal Night.

The alliance, which is on the verge of destruction, is no longer calm.

Just like drowning creatures, they will grab any life-saving straw that can help them survive, even if the straw is so thin that it cannot bear their weight and is of no use.

Such a crazy behavior naturally caused riots among the people of the kingdom.

However, the remaining nobles of the kingdom did not care about this at all and simply suppressed it with force.

This also made all the citizens of the kingdom realize that the noble lords who had armies and high-level extraordinary people were the real masters of the kingdom.

When the crisis came, the civilization and order they had previously built were torn to pieces, and they returned to the most primitive era again.

An era where strength is the rule.

It has to be said that the Hundred Nations Alliance, which has gone crazy, still has some substance. They did cause some trouble to the Eternal Night Empire without considering the consequences.

If they had this awareness at the beginning, Su Xingyu would definitely take action personally and would never delay and allow the Eternal Night Empire to slowly consume them.

Even if He were to take action personally, it would cause a lot of trouble, such as unstable foundation and inability to manage, but these troubles would not be as serious as a completely crazy continental force.

Fortunately, the overall situation has been determined now, and the actual controlled territory is far less than that of the Hundred-Nation Alliance before the war. Even if it goes completely crazy, it will not be able to leverage too much power.

However, seeing this situation, the Eternal Night Empire did not want to cause more trouble. After all, with the state of the Hundred Nations Alliance, it would still be very troublesome if it recovered. If it continued to consume, even if it was conquered, it would probably only be a dead land. These were all the future territories of the empire, and they could not be allowed to waste them like this.

As a result, the Empire also began to mobilize troops on a large scale, calling back several top legions that had been honing their skills in the demiplane, in preparation for the final decisive battle.

Various other religious forces also infiltrated from all directions, creating chaos and destroying the alliance.

In fact, there is no need for the Empire to create it deliberately. The alliance is now in chaos, and it is all supported by the strength of the top nobles.

If this were an ordinary world without supernatural powers, there would definitely be rebels rising up within the alliance by now.

Unfortunately, there is no if. With the strength of the people of the kingdom, even if they unite, they cannot overthrow the nobles above.

Western Continent.

This is a special land. Unlike the ordinary yellow soil and black soil, most of the soil in the Western Continent is blood red, as if the entire continent has been soaked in blood.

In the center of the continent, there is a vast, magnificent and splendid blood-red palace.

The palace is magnificently decorated with exquisite murals and sculptures. These artworks are mainly red, which complements the blood-red walls of the palace. Above the hall is a huge throne, covered with soft red cushions, all made of high-level beast fur. The armrests and backrests of the throne are carved with complex patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

On both sides of the hall, there are two rows of tall stone pillars, on which are carved lifelike reliefs, telling the history and myths of the Western Continent. The floor of the hall is covered with a red carpet, on which golden patterns are embroidered, which is very exquisite.

"Someone from the Northern Continent has arrived again. Tell us what you think. Should we get involved this time?" On the throne sat a noble young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old. He was the only overlord in the Western Continent, the supreme ruler of the Blood Empire.

The Blood King, Angor.

Since the lifespan of vampires is much longer than that of humans, although this Blood Emperor looks young, he has actually been in power for nearly two hundred years.

The Blood Empire under his rule did not show too much aggressiveness, but the internal changes were beyond imagination.

During the two hundred years, he not only unified the internal forces of the blood clan, but also took back the scattered power from the blood clan.

They also learned from the human social system of the Northern Continent and implemented a series of reform policies. Whether it was people's livelihood or other aspects of construction, they reached the peak in the history of the Blood Empire.

Therefore, he was honored as the Wise King by the vampire people.

"Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to support the Northern Continent, and it must be a strong aid. It would be best if we could help them contain the top legions of the Eternal Night Empire and relieve their pressure." Everyone gathered here today to discuss whether to support the Hundred Nations Alliance. Seeing that the boss on the throne had spoken, a blood clan elder immediately spoke.

"You talk nicely and offer great assistance, but you really don't take our soldiers seriously! Do you know how strong the top legions of the Eternal Night Empire are? Do you know how many soldiers we have lost over the years in support of the Hundred Nations Alliance?" Some supported it, while others opposed it. Another elder of the Longblood Clan, without caring about the occasion at all, shouted loudly.

At the beginning of the war between the Eternal Night Empire and the Hundred Nations Alliance, the Blood Empire was watching the show. They even planned to sell resources to both sides after both sides were tired of fighting.

Although the Hundred Nations Alliance was at a disadvantage in the early stages, they did not take it too seriously, thinking that it was just an ordinary war, just like the invasion of the Blood Empire. After fighting for more than ten years, the other side would give up.

Therefore, the Hundred Nations Alliance also sent a considerable number of troops to garrison on the edge of the strait connecting the two sides to prevent the invasion of the Blood Empire.

Then gradually, as the Eternal Night army advanced, both sides realized that something was wrong. The strength of the Eternal Night Empire was beyond their expectations.

The Alliance of Hundred Nations had to relax its policies and strengthen exchanges with the Blood Empire. For the first time ever, the Blood Empire did not make things difficult for them or put forward any harsh conditions, and began to support the Alliance of Hundred Nations.

At the beginning, it was just material support, then a small number of strong men went there, and in the end, the entire legion was sent directly to the Northern Continent to fight against the Eternal Night Empire.

The Eternal Night Empire is naturally well aware of this, but it is not easy to point it out. Since the Blood Empire has not intervened in an all-round way and only a few legions are involved, then let them do as they please.

But not pointing it out doesn't mean they won't react. All of the Blood Legion in the Northern Continent have been given special care.

Therefore, the losses of the Blood Legion that came to support over the years were not small. Not to mention the vassal troops, the regular troops alone, when added up, numbered over 100,000.

Among them there is also a fully staffed sixth-order epic legion and a top legion that has converted one-fifth of its elements to high-level elements and is expected to be promoted to high-level elements in the future.

This kind of loss is not small even for the Blood Empire.

"Elder Dekola, you can't say that. The situation now is different from the past. The Eternal Night Empire is expanding day by day. If we leave it alone, it will threaten us sooner or later. Now we have the Hundred Nations Alliance as a buffer zone. Once the Hundred Nations Alliance is destroyed, the Blood Empire will face them directly, and the losses will be even greater."

"That makes sense. We can still hide behind the Hundred Nations Alliance while it's still there. Once they disappear, we will be under even greater pressure. I agree to provide support, and it must be strong support, even if it means declaring war directly."

"I also agree with Elder Komor's proposal to support the Hundred Nations Alliance."

"Agree."

"agree."

Gradually, more and more elders voted in favor, and the young emperor on the throne also smiled.

"I object."

At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded, and a younger elder looked at everyone and said softly: "As you all said, the Eternal Night Empire is indeed powerful, but to say that it is a direct threat to us is a bit exaggerated."

"Before you say anything, at least take a look at the map. This is the Eternal Night Empire, located in the southern part of the Eastern Continent, while we are located in the Western Continent, with a Northern Continent in between. They are tens of thousands of miles away from us. With such a long distance, let alone ordinary legions, even high-level warriors will take several months to get here."

Pulling out a newly drawn world map, the young elder began to point at the map and explain the reasons why he did not support it. "Even if they really destroyed the Hundred Nations Alliance, they can't control the Northern Continent unless they move their capital. There is no need for us to fight them now. After they destroy the Hundred Nations Alliance and retreat, we can support a new alliance. Isn't it better?"

After hearing his words, the elders had different expressions, some didn't care, some frowned, and some closed their eyes in deep thought.

"So the distance between the East Continent and the North Continent is so far? This is the first time I know this."

"What you said makes sense. Since the Eternal Night Empire wants to destroy the Hundred Nations Alliance, it must have been well prepared. Even if we really send people over, it may not be useful. We may even suffer heavy losses. Don't forget how the Seventeenth Legion was destroyed!"

"Your idea is not feasible. I think we should still send troops. Even if it cannot change the outcome, we cannot let the Eternal Night Empire take over the Northern Continent so easily." An elder with a gloomy face said in a cold voice: "Besides, who told you that if you go to the Northern Continent, you must support the Hundred Nations Alliance?"

"You mean," an elder said hesitantly, "this is not good!"

"There's nothing wrong with it. The Hundred Nations Alliance has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years! Tsk tsk!"
