Chapter 223: The increasing military strength and the chaotic Western Continent
"Those who kneel down and lay down their weapons will not be killed! The rest will be killed without mercy!" On the border of the Western Continent, Jubei City, this city that can be called a war fortress completely fell and was occupied by the Eternal Night Army.

There were no more vampire warriors left to resist. They either fled to the rear or died in battle.

It cannot be said that those vampire warriors were cowardly. After all, when the energy shield of Jubei City was broken, Jubei City was doomed to fall. Even if they continued to resist, it would be of no use and would only increase casualties.

Even if the city is lost, it can be recaptured later, but if several demigods and those elite legions are all killed here, the loss will be huge.

Even in the Blood Empire, such strong men and elite legions are extremely limited and cannot be lost.

Now, all the surviving vampires in Jubei City knelt on the ground, bowing their heads in anticipation. They carefully watched the Eternal Night warriors passing by with their peripheral vision, feeling very nervous.

In addition to the vampire warriors, there are also a large number of blood servants, that is, members of various races who are enslaved by the vampires.

Compared to the vampires, their knowledge is even more scarce.

Faced with this sudden invasion, all the blood servants were shocked. They did not expect that the powerful and invincible blood clan, which they thought was invincible, could be defeated like this.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to them, as if the faith in their hearts had been torn apart.

The invasion of the Eternal Night Empire completely shattered the Blood Empire's myth of invincibility in the Western Continent, and the defeat of the vampires also reignited some ideas that had been extinguished.

"Blood slaves? Haha, that looks pretty good. Go recruit a few legions and train with them. Maybe you'll get different results." A general of the Eternal Night Empire chuckled and suggested.

"As for them, I don't think they have much combat effectiveness. Can they do it?" Some generals also hesitated.

"It's okay to take care of them. If we send them back, they will have to be watched anyway. It's better to keep them with us. With us watching over them, nothing bad will happen. It can also reduce the pressure of supervision." A general said nonchalantly.

"Okay, then go recruit a group of them, just as cannon fodder."

This proposal was quickly unanimously approved by the imperial generals and passed in a short while.

The first general who raised the issue came to the camp where the blood slaves were held. The blood slaves who were kneeling on the ground were all terrified when they saw the mighty and domineering general with blood on his armor.

They felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, just like ants looking up at the dragon in the sky, feeling awe and fear.

"My weak servant, thank the Lord for his mercy."

The general of the empire ignored their looks, stood in mid-air, and laughed loudly, "Now there is an opportunity to change your destiny before you. The empire wants to recruit a group of servants. Yes, there is no doubt that they will be selected from among you."

"Thank God for your mercy. Otherwise, with your strength, it would be a delusion to even live in this world, not to mention being a vassal soldier of the empire."

The imperial generals were not talking nonsense. Today's Eternal Night Empire is no longer the poor and weak country that lacked everything.

Now they have everything: population, resources, land, etc., all are in an extremely abundant state.

Therefore, these people who have poor cultivation talents, lack civilized order, and are not blood slaves of the same race are actually of no use to the Eternal Night Empire.

Let’s put it this way…

If it weren't for the empire's mercy, these blood slaves would have only one fate, which was to turn into a corpse, and then, at the summons of the lich, transform into skeleton warriors to fight for the god of death.

And now, they are willing to give these blood slaves a chance, a chance to become servants, which can actually be said to be very merciful.

Upon hearing this, the many blood slaves below immediately started discussing it with their companions next to them. For a moment, the scene was extremely lively.

"What do servant soldiers do? They can get enough food!"

"I don't know. I should be able to eat enough. If I don't have enough food, how can I help them fight the war..."

"Do you want to join? The vampire master has been defeated, and we will have no work to do in the future. Why don't you join the army? At least you can have a meal."

After so many years of domestication, the blood race's blockade of these slave races has become so severe that their already dull brains have become even duller.

Apart from obedience, there is not much resistance left in my heart.

"We are willing to become servants and fight for the Eternal Night Empire."

While they were hesitating, a group of blood slaves soon stood up. Compared with other blood slaves of the same race, these blood slaves were more robust.

These blood slaves were originally servants of the blood clan army. When the blood clan army fled, they did not take them away, but directly abandoned them in the city, and then they were captured here together.

"Stand on the left." The imperial general looked at them and laughed contemptuously.

This group of former servant soldiers soon stood in the open space on the left. Their order was somewhat chaotic and their postures were somewhat crooked.

As the first batch of blood slaves stood up, more and more blood slaves made their own choices and stood on the open space on the left.

After the two sides had divided into teams and there was no more movement of people, a smile appeared on the face of the imperial general.

Then, he said to the commander of the affiliated army behind him:
"Let your warriors take off their armor, practice with them, and teach them the rules of the empire."

After that, he added, "Be careful, don't hit them too hard, we will need them later."

"Yes."

After a while, screams one after another resounded throughout the camp.

……

In the northern continent, there is a military camp not far from the border city.

The place is filled with soldiers, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The tight defense is like an iron wall and is impeccable. Without pass, not only people but even a fly cannot fly in.

All the citizens of the empire living nearby know that this is an absolute restricted area and no one is allowed to approach, otherwise, no matter how prominent their family background is, they will disappear.

According to the recollections of surrounding residents, this military camp existed a long time ago, but the defense at that time was not very tight and was even a bit loose.

As for when did the defense here become so tight and become an absolute restricted area?

It should have been three years ago.

At that time, a group of distinguished guests came, and even the city lord went out to greet them personally.

Since then, the military camp here has become a restricted area and no one is allowed to approach.

"Hurry up……"

Deep in the military camp, there stood a teleportation gate more than a hundred meters high, with a row of soldiers standing on each side, guarding the teleportation gate.

Above the sky, there were flickering lights, covering an area of ​​several miles, forming a shielding shield. Unless one came into close contact, one would never be able to detect any abnormalities here.

Tap, tap, tap... With the sound of orderly footsteps, warriors in black armor quickly ran out of the teleportation gate. They held cold sharp blades in their hands and their eyes were as firm as iron. They were obviously elite veterans.

Above their heads, sky knights kept flying by. After circling above the military camp for a while, they flew directly into the distance.

These are the Eternal Night Legion transferred from the empire's homeland. They are about to rush to the Western Continent to support their own army and expand their victory in the Western Continent.

After a while, an army of more than 10,000 people appeared in the military camp.

"Report to the general, the 12th Affiliated Corps has assembled, please give instructions." After the entire legion passed, the legion commander reported to the general here.

"very good."

The middle-aged general nodded, very satisfied, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work, going through so many portals in a row. The war situation in the Western Continent has temporarily stabilized. Jubei City has been captured. The front-line army is unstoppable and is attacking the hinterland all the way, and has captured seven cities in a row..."

"You must be tired after the long journey. Let's rest in Wangxi City for a day before heading to the battlefield."

Considering that the front line was stable and the situation was not that tense, and that continuously crossing the teleportation gate would put a heavy burden on the body, the middle-aged general did not immediately send the 12th Affiliated Legion to the battlefield.

After all, their condition was not good to begin with. If they rushed to the battlefield in a hurry, even if they really arrived at the battlefield, they probably would not have much combat effectiveness.

That would only increase casualties.

"Thank you, General."

The legion commander nodded and said gratefully.

Before coming, he was still thinking about how to tactfully propose to let his legion rest for half a day and recover before going to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the general took the initiative to propose it before he could open his mouth.

"Go and have a rest. The logistics over there have been prepared. You can just go there directly." The middle-aged general waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

The legion commander then led the 12th Affiliated Legion out of the barracks and headed towards Wangxi City.

"This is the sixth legion that has come here today. Now that they don't have to hide, their speed has indeed increased a lot. At this rate, under extreme conditions, we can mobilize dozens of legions from the East Continent in one day." Looking at the black-armored warriors who continued to walk out of the teleportation gate, the camp commander smiled with emotion.

"The teleportation gate is indeed very convenient. The deployment of the legion is much faster than before." The middle-aged general nodded, agreeing very much with his point of view. "If we had this thing at the beginning, it would be much easier for us to fight. At least when we were attacking the Hundred Nations Alliance, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."

"The only drawback is that it's too close. If we can research a 10,000-kilometer portal, we can get from the East Continental Shelf to the West Continent with just a few portals. That would be really amazing." The camp leader said with some regret.

Most of the warriors who walked out of the teleportation gate had tired looks on their faces. Although they had not lost their combat effectiveness, their strength was definitely compromised.

Such a warrior cannot immediately engage in battle.

"Just be content. It's good enough to have something to use."

The middle-aged general smiled and said, "Compared to before, the situation is much better now. We can transfer the army from the East Continent to the border of the North Continent in one day."

"Even if it takes a while to recover before it can be put into battle, it is still a national-level technology. Who would have dared to think of it decades ago!"

"I'm not saying the portal is bad."

The camp leader chuckled, "But people, when they get good things, they naturally want better things..."

After years of improvements, the distance of the portal has reached 1,500 kilometers.

This distance is actually very far.

But whether it is far or not depends on the comparison. Compared with the continental distance which is often measured in tens of thousands of miles, fifteen hundred kilometers is really not far.

……

Twenty years after the destruction of the Hundred Nations Alliance, the Eternal Night Empire launched a full-scale invasion of the Western Continent from both land and sea, which also marked the official start of the war for plane unification.

The strength of the Eternal Night Empire's offensive was beyond everyone's expectations. The Blood Empire had indeed prepared for a long time, but faced with the almost overwhelming gap in strength, it was still defeated.

Of course, strength is secondary. Although the Eternal Night Army is powerful, the Blood Empire is no pushover.

If it was a normal battle, even if we couldn't win, we wouldn't fall so quickly.

The most important problem is that it happened too suddenly.

This invasion came too sudden and too violent!
Hundreds of thousands of elite troops arrived at the border city quietly without the Blood Empire noticing, and then launched an attack.

Various teleportation technologies made most of the Blood Empire's preparations ineffective.

It can be said that we suffered from the disadvantages of technology.

If the fall of Jubei City, although beyond the Blood Empire's expectations, was still barely acceptable, then the invasion of millions of sea creatures was really incomprehensible to them.

Decades ago, when the Eternal Night Empire and the Hundred Nations Alliance were at war, the Blood Empire knew that they had a sea clan force under their command, and that its strength was quite strong.

But in the current situation, it is no longer a question of being weak or not.

The sea clan force of the Eternal Night Empire is a little too strong.

It can mobilize millions of sea warriors, and most of them have reached the sixth level of extraordinary level. There is no doubt that this is the super empire in the ocean world.

If converted to the mainland, this ocean empire alone is enough to fight against the entire blood empire.

The navy that had been built for many years did not play any role and was directly swallowed up. The sea was blocked in a very short time and almost all coastal cities fell. What does this mean?

This means that the Eternal Night Empire can attack the Blood Empire from any corner of the Western Continent. Yes... any corner.

If the attack on the Northern Continent was a step-by-step nibble, then the attack on the Western Continent would be a full-scale invasion.

Without the pressure of logistics, it is almost impossible to deploy the legion. The number of troops that the Eternal Night Empire can mobilize is too exaggerated, and the coastal defense line has been lost.

Regular army, affiliated army, vassal army, even the Eternal Night Empire does not have an accurate number of how many soldiers it has mobilized.

After all, after the war started, the restrictions of the teleportation gate were lifted. It was no longer a secret project, and some self-organized civilian armies could also use the teleportation gate to go directly to the Western Continent to join the war.

This has also led to the fact that the Western Continent is now full of wars.

The Blood Empire is extremely busy, with holes that need to be filled everywhere.
