Chapter 200 Prelude to the Final Battle
The elders of the Blood Empire discussed the issue, expressed their own opinions, and put forward their own views, but the number of people supporting each side was almost the same, so they could not reach a unified opinion.
In the end, the decision was made by the supreme ruler, the master of the empire.
And Ingres's opinion was very clear, which was to provide strong support.
Great support.
If we only look at internal development and external wars, Ingres was definitely an emperor who focused on development and did not like war.
However, this is not the case, or quite the contrary, Ingres was an ambitious emperor.
His ambition is too great.
It was so big that even with the strength of the Blood Empire at that time, it could not be accomplished.
Everything he did, including integrating the internal forces of the Blood Empire, concentrating power, promoting reforms, and developing people's livelihood, was for one purpose, that is - to unify the plane.
While other vampires were still immersed in the glory of the empire and content with the status quo, Angel had different ideas.
He wanted to conquer all the forces in the entire plane, turn them all into slaves of the Blood Empire, and then use the power of the entire plane to surpass the ancestor of the Blood Empire, the long-fallen god.
Originally according to Angel's plan, the Blood Empire should have developed for a while, and when it was strong enough, it would launch a full-scale invasion of the Northern Continent, attacking from both inside and outside with the internal rebellion forces. Unfortunately, the emergence of the Eternal Night Empire disrupted his plan.
When he saw them start the war, Angel thought that the two sides would fight for at least a hundred years, or even longer.
However, the speed of the Eternal Night Empire's conquest far exceeded the Blood Empire's imagination, and they also did an excellent job in managing and ruling the conquered areas.
By the time Angel realized the seriousness of the problem, it was too late.
In just a few decades, the Alliance of Hundred Nations was about to perish, and it was destroyed by foreign invasion. A hundred years ago, no one would have dared to believe such a thing.
However, the facts are now before our eyes. The Alliance of Hundred Nations has reached the brink of destruction. If left unchecked, perhaps before long, the Alliance of Hundred Nations will no longer exist in this world.
Since things are irreversible, let's make things more difficult for the Eternal Night Empire before the Hundred Nations Alliance is destroyed!
After the supreme ruler makes a decision, even if there are still elders who disagree, it will be of no avail.
The Blood Empire quickly responded to the Hundred Nations Alliance and began to mobilize its legions to provide strong reinforcements to the Northern Continent. It had no intention of covering up and was not afraid of being discovered by the Eternal Night Empire.
The capital of the empire, the City of Eternal Night.
When the Hundred Nations Alliance once again appealed to the Blood Empire for help, the final mobilization began on the East Continent.
The top legions that returned from the void demiplane began to prepare for war. After years of training, some of them were promoted to the seventh level and became true epic legions. Some still belonged to the category of sixth-level legions, but they had made a lot of progress and possessed combat power comparable to ordinary seventh-level legions.
The luxurious training environment, inexhaustible precious resources, and the firm inner pursuit of strength allow them to keep moving forward and become stronger.
"The time to destroy the Hundred Nations Alliance has finally arrived. It's going to be a long battle!"
"After all these years, since the king came, this seems to be the first time we have encountered such a troublesome opponent? It actually took almost forty years. I have to say that he is really capable."
"After all, they are the overlord of the Northern Continent. With such a vast land and a huge population, it is normal for them to hold out for so long. But it is useless. Victory will surely belong to Eternal Night."
"Well said, victory belongs to the King of Eternal Night! Victory belongs to the Eternal Night Empire! Victory belongs to us! Hahahahahaha!"
Looking at the neat and majestic army, all the people of the empire were amazed from the bottom of their hearts.
"We are probably the only one in the world that has such a powerful army!"
"Brother, be more confident. Not to mention the entire world, even in other worlds, there are probably not many forces with such a powerful army."
"Of course. I heard from those warriors who have fought in other worlds that the forces in other worlds are not that strong. Even though we are all God-favored forces, our development is still very different. Some God-favored forces don't even have a few sixth-level legions. How can they compare with us?"
"Ah! No way, the difference is so big?"
"Nonsense, who do you think we are following? He is the King of Eternal Night, who is at the top of the myriad gods. As the king's favored force, it is only natural that we are stronger than them."
"Those unsophisticated people in the Hundred Nations Alliance thought that the previous legion was the strongest. Now let them see what a truly invincible legion is!"
The people of Eternal Night City were discussing enthusiastically. The imperial citizens with profound knowledge proudly showed off their knowledge to other companions, which caused cheers from the crowd and they were also very proud.
As players send delegations into each other's worlds and students exchange and learn from each other, this also brings some influences that are hard to say whether they are good or bad.
That is the expansion of their information horizons; they begin to accept all kinds of complex information.
The world known to the original believers of gods is actually not that big. It only consists of the areas ruled by their own forces. Anything bigger is just the plane they are in.
Whether it is the ruled area or the plane, there is one characteristic, that is, the uniqueness and individuality of the gods.
Simply put, except for the gods that one believes in, all other gods are evil gods.
When you start to come into contact with other player forces, especially when multiple different forces come into contact with each other, some information exchange will inevitably occur, leading to consequences.
There were some deviations in the original education.
It would be fine if you were pragmatic, but if you like to brag, the situation might be a bit embarrassing.
If it is serious, it may directly lead to the breakdown of believers' faith.
Fortunately, both Su Xingyu and other members of Bloody Dawn were prepared for this.
In other words, almost all players are prepared in this regard.
It's not that they were prophetic and anticipated today's situation, but that they had suffered losses in this regard before.
Back in the primary realm, when the players were fighting each other, there was a collapse of faith.
Although faith mainly relies on deception, you can't be too outrageous.
You brag about how invincible you are, but in the end you are pinned to the ground and beaten at will. It would be strange if your faith didn't collapse.
The people of the Eternal Night Empire have been very pragmatic from beginning to end, and Su Xingyu did not brag except for fooling them at the beginning.
After all, when your abilities are improved to a certain level, many seemingly false abilities can actually be realized. Therefore, the impact of information exchange on the empire can be said to be almost non-existent.
It even makes them more confident.
Compared to them, the believers of other players had some minor impact.
After all, it is inevitable that one will be shaken when he learns that the god he believes in is not the only one and not even the strongest.
But this phenomenon is normal, you will get used to it later.
"What a powerful army! I wonder when we will have such an army!"
"The Eternal Night Empire is indeed powerful, not only in terms of various construction and technological development, but also in terms of its legions. These legions may have the power to destroy a country!"
"The backbone of the legion that is about to be promoted to the seventh level are all high-level warriors. When the legion is fighting, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will not be weaker than that of the high-level warriors. What kind of kingdom can withstand the impact of tens of thousands of high-level warriors?!"
"Hiss, after hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a little scared!"
The crowd of onlookers included not only the people of the Eternal Night Empire, but also foreign friends who were watching with curiosity.
There weren’t many opportunities to watch from the top legions, so everyone was watching intently and discussing in low voices.
Looking at the extremely powerful Eternal Night Legions, they intuitively felt the gap between themselves and the other side. The top legions in their own forces seemed insignificant compared to the other side.
"What a profound background! No wonder the supporting troops are so humble."
"As expected, this is an empire that can support a sixth-order legion at will. It's so powerful!"
The Gentile friends were amazed, but they were just amazed. They were not frightened, and their faith was not shaken.
Members who can travel to other worlds to communicate are all carefully selected by players and are one in a million believers.
Their faith is extremely firm. They are not the kind of devout believers who regard the Bible as everything, nor are they the kind of fanatical believers who regard gods as everything. They are "true" believers who truly understand the core of faith and are still willing to follow in the footsteps of gods.
Before breaking through the seventh level, such believers are called
——Saints Reserve.
Once they are promoted to the seventh level, they become saints.
An agent who can carry the will of gods and walk on earth on behalf of gods.
Nothing can shake the will of such believers.
So they will sigh, be shocked, and envy, but their faith will not be shaken.
Imperial Hall.
The empire's elders, senators, and great nobles gathered here to hold final discussions on how to conquer the Hundred Nations Alliance.
"Reporting to the Archon, the top legions such as the Eternal Night Paladin Corps, the Temple Guard Corps, the Silver Armored Heavy Corps, the Dog Demon Corps, and the Asian Dragon Corps have returned. The main force is stationed outside the Eternal Night City, awaiting the next instructions from the Empire."
The current Archon of the Empire is still Ye San. Ye San's talent for cultivation is not top-notch. Even with all the strength of the entire country and Su Xingyu's secret help, he has only barely reached the legendary realm.
After listening to the report, he nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Then Ye San looked at the elders and nobles and said softly, "Everyone, there is only one step left to conquer the Northern Continent. The army is ready and can set off to the destination at any time. If you have any ideas, just speak up."
"Everything is ready. There's no need to think about anything else. Just fight and it's over." A great noble of the new generation laughed.
"That's right. Now that it has come to this, there is nothing more to discuss. Let's resolve the Hundred Nations Alliance first." Another elder nodded in agreement.
"We also have to be wary of the Blood Empire's intervention. Ever since we went to war with the Hundred Nations Alliance, those guys have never behaved. This is the final battle, and I don't think they will sit idly by and allow us to destroy the Hundred Nations Alliance." The older and more stable middle-aged elder said softly.
"We should be on guard. Although the Eternal Night Empire is very powerful, the Blood Empire, as the overlord of the Western Continent, has a profound heritage and its strength should not be underestimated." Another middle-aged elder nodded in agreement, his tone quite serious.
"Strength is secondary. The main thing is distance. We are too far away from the Northern Continent." The middle-aged elder who was promoted to a great noble through military merit said helplessly, "It's tens of thousands of miles away. If it weren't for the space ring, which greatly reduced the logistical pressure of the army, I really don't know how we would have defeated the Hundred Nations Alliance."
"Even at the speed of a top cavalry corps, it would take more than a month to get there. This distance is indeed a bit outrageous."
The Eternal Night Empire's top cavalry corps is naturally equipped with top-notch mounts that have extremely strong endurance.
They can travel a thousand miles a day. To be honest, we are somewhat underestimating them.
But even so, it would take a long time for them to reach the Northern Continent from the Eternal Night Empire.
And this is because of the problem of logistics supply, which was solved by the space ring, otherwise the time would be several times longer.
"Don't look at me, this is a problem of the research institute, and I don't have any good solution." Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye San waved his hands and said helplessly.
The director of the research institute, who was sitting in the corner, was thinking about it. Unexpectedly, a blame fell from the sky. He hurriedly explained: "Space teleportation technology can only achieve short-range teleportation at present. It is at most 300 kilometers. It is not safe to teleport more than that. Moreover, this teleportation technology has very high requirements on the user's physical fitness. I know what you are thinking, but there is really nothing I can do."
What currently constrains the expansion of the Eternal Night Empire is not combat power or resources, but distance.
Even if they were powerful enough, with millions of troops, a single legion could intimidate a kingdom.
But when they encounter tough situations, their shortcomings will still be exposed.
The distance was too far, making it impossible for them to deploy troops in time and implement effective control.
"Okay, let's stop talking about these nonsense and talk about how to fight this battle." Seeing that everyone had strayed from the topic again, an elder quickly brought the topic back.
"It's easy to fight them. We have surrounded them now. We just need to attack them violently. All the resource producing areas are in our hands. We can bombard them with magic cannons for ten days or half a month. I wonder how long they can hold out."
"We old guys shouldn't worry about so much. The battlefield is changing rapidly. No matter how many plans we have now, we still have to adapt to the situation! Professional matters should be left to professionals, and matters on the battlefield should be left to the commander. We only need to take care of the rear."
