Chapter 226: Huge Gap, Destruction
Facing the attack of the Eternal Night Empire, the Blood Empire did not sit idly by and wait for destruction. After only a brief trance, they mobilized the entire country, gathered heavy troops, and launched a counterattack.

The momentum of this counterattack was extremely fierce.

The purpose is very simple. While the Eternal Night Empire has not yet gained a firm foothold, they will attack with one blow and directly drive them out, and then push the battlefield back to the border of the northwest continent.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is a bit cruel.

The Blood Empire mobilized the entire country's military and had the advantage of being at home, so it did indeed burst out with astonishing power in a short period of time. But during the time when they were stunned and mobilizing troops, the Eternal Night Empire had already deployed a large number of legions to various parts of the Western Continent.

To exaggerate a bit, the Eternal Night Empire has more elite legions across the Western Continent than the Blood Empire, its own empire.

Although when formulating strategies, they are always referred to as the Western Continent or the Western Continent, and they are directly treated as a whole. In fact, the Western Continent is not small, with an area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers. Even if some of it is uninhabited, it is still very exaggerated.

It spans nearly ten thousand miles from north to south, and thanks to the special method of communication, otherwise the Blood Palace would probably not have received the news of the invasion until now.

However, receiving the news is one thing, and how to mobilize troops is another.

Prior to this, the main legions of the Blood Empire were all gathered at the border of the northern continent and in the heart of the empire, and the coastal cities were somewhat lax in their control.

After all, none of them had expected that there would be millions of sea warriors launching a full-scale invasion at the same time.

So for a while, they were actually at a disadvantage in terms of the number of elite troops in the coastal city.

This is completely different from the Blood Empire's original idea.

After occupying the coastal city near the coast, the sea clan army did not continue to advance. They were not fools. As a deep-sea clan, it was already remarkable that they could capture the coastal city with some small tricks.

If we continue to go deeper into the interior, wouldn’t that be courting death?!

Moreover, they are in the advantage now, so it is the opponent who should be anxious.

As a result, the sea clan legions in various places began to build defense lines on the spot to provide a relatively stable rear for the imperial legions that would arrive later.

The Blood Empire naturally would not just stand there and watch. They launched a fierce attack and lost even more miserably.

Except for a few places where the Blood Empire recaptured cities, the Blood Empire's army was completely defeated in other important cities, especially the main cities, and some were even wiped out.

Then the information that shocked the Blood Empire was discovered, and the reason why they were attacked was also found.

Teleportation Gate.

The Eternal Night Empire had already developed a teleportation gate and had placed it at their doorstep.

The most terrifying thing is that the Eternal Night Empire is building a teleportation gate in the Western Continent.

This is why the Eternal Night Army is not in a hurry to attack the city. They plan to set up a teleportation gate on the front line first. By then, the Empire's army can go straight into the heart of the Blood Empire.

This discovery drove all the high-ranking members of the vampire clan crazy.

This is not arranged at the doorstep, it is arranged directly in the bedroom!

The Blood Empire tried its best to undermine the strategic intentions of the Eternal Night Empire, but unsurprisingly failed.

Under the Blood Empire's reckless attack, several teleportation gates under construction were indeed destroyed. After all, this is the Blood Empire's home ground, so they still have some ability to do this.

In addition, destruction is easier than construction, so it is normal that the teleportation gate can be destroyed by a few strategic strikes.

However, it was of no use. The Eternal Night Empire had no shortage of resources. They built ten teleportation gates at the same time. As long as one of them could operate, it would be victory.

After the teleportation gate was built, the Eternal Night Empire launched an offensive even more outrageous than the previous war.

The Abyss of the Dead, the Black Dragon's Lair, the Land of Purgatory, the Orc Alliance...

Undeads, Asian dragons, barghests, jackals... not only the headquarters of the Eternal Night Empire, but also the affiliated territories of other parties have dispatched a large number of warriors. The scale of this is so huge that it far exceeds the imagination of the Blood Empire.

Even the top leaders of the Eternal Night Empire did not expect that they could mobilize so many soldiers.

The emergence of the teleportation gate greatly reduced the pressure on the legion's deployment, and it could almost be said that it eliminated the distance between the two places, making their territories directly adjacent to each other.

With the rich martial virtue atmosphere in the empire, coupled with the outrageous and extraordinary foundation, it can be said that any citizen of the empire is a qualified warrior after adulthood.

In order to achieve success, these citizens of the empire spontaneously organized themselves into a variety of armies, and passed through the teleportation gate to go to the Western Continent to fight.

Without the constraints of distance and logistical difficulties, they are very willing to fight for the Eternal Night Empire.

This situation is particularly prominent in the various affiliated territories.

If the headquarters of the empire, that is, the human race in the East Continent, has developed some entertainment culture after years of development, then in the affiliated territories, the only form of entertainment for each race is fighting.

Every year, many monster warriors die in private fights in various affiliated territories, and this is even the case as the Eternal Night Empire has issued relevant laws.

If each tribe were to manage itself, it would most likely develop into the Naga Kingdom, with the tribes fighting each other.

This has something to do with their own racial characteristics. As a monster race, their character is full of brutality.

Plus, the gods they believe in also have a little bit of... ahem, evil nature.

So much so that they don't really care about death.

To them, death is nothing more than a deep sleep.

Therefore, the current Western Continent provides them with a channel to vent their energy that has nowhere to go.

Win-win.

……

After nearly half a year of hard fighting.

The Eternal Night Empire has completely established its foothold in the Western Continent and began to implement a comprehensive conquest plan.

The sea tribe army blocked all sea passages of the Western Continent and dispatched some sea tribe warriors to march straight along the rivers, gradually occupying the river channels of the Western Continent.

The undead army moved south from the north of the continent, setting off an undead plague and devouring the Blood Empire's desert territory in the north at an extremely fast speed.

The monster coalition invaded from the west. The complex mountain and forest terrain here is very suitable for them to fight. After all, the order of the monster warriors is relatively poor.

Even though they have achieved some results after years of training, the fighting style they are best at is still melee combat.

In the chaotic battlefield, they can take advantage of their strong individual strength.

The monster coalition has two attack methods. On the one hand, they attack the city with a large army and continuously occupy the vampire city, while on the other hand, they form small teams of thousands of people to clear out the local vampires.

The southern and eastern parts of the Western Continent are under the charge of the Imperial Headquarters. The terrain on these two sides is mainly plains, which are very suitable for large-scale legion operations.

Of the three battlefields, the most intense was undoubtedly the last one, where the most elite legions of both sides gathered, with a total number of soldiers exceeding one million, comparable in scale to the final battle that destroyed the Alliance of Hundred Nations.

The two sides engaged in a bloody battle over several main cities, which was extremely cruel.

Ordinary warriors who were considered elite died like ants, truly interpreting the saying that sixth-level warriors are worse than dogs, and seventh-level warriors are everywhere.

In this grand battlefield, even a demigod can fall.

Apart from other things, the number of demigods in the main cities at the junction of the two continents alone has reached double digits. The Evernight Empire, which has reorganized its legions, can be said to be going all out this time.

This full effort is reflected not only in quantity, but also in quality.

Except for the Temple Guard Corps that stayed in Eternal Night City to protect the safety of the Imperial Capital, the other six complete seventh-level legions all arrived at the Western Continent. As for the other quasi-seventh-level legions, sixth-level epic legions, and royal guard legions, their numbers were outrageous.

When the Hundred Nations Alliance was destroyed and the Northern Continent was conquered, the Eternal Night Empire gave birth to too many elite legions.

Previously, they were restricted by various factors and could not be deployed to the battlefield. Now with the teleportation gate, all these elite legions can be sent over.

The situation on the battlefield was very clear. The Eternal Night Empire was rapidly conquering the Blood Empire's territory with an almost overwhelming trend.

Even though they had made preparations in advance, built magic towers all over the continent, set up large magic circles, and mobilized vampires across the country, all the major blood clans also worked together to give the empire the greatest help.

Afterwards, they opened up the class promotion channel and attracted a large number of blood servants.

But in the face of absolute strength, all of this is meaningless.

Magic tower?

Then remove them all.

Is the magic circle strong?

Then destroy them all.

Are there many vampire warriors?

Then send more Eternal Night Warriors over and kill them all.

The Eternal Night Army broke through their defenses in a brutal manner.

There is no strategy at all, just use hard power to push forward.

Contrary to the Blood Empire's estimate, the two sides are no longer on the same level in terms of strength.

In terms of population size alone, the Eternal Night Empire is more than five times that of the Blood Empire. In terms of quality, the blood clan who rely solely on inherited bloodlines cannot compare with the dark clan.

Therefore, when the Eternal Night Empire gained a foothold in the Western Continent and established a teleportation gate, the countdown to the demise of the Blood Empire had already begun.

And compared to the destruction of the Northern Continent, this time the speed will be much faster.

Although the Blood Empire is stronger, more united, and has been prepared for longer and more thoroughly, if the current trend continues, the Blood Empire will be completely destroyed in twenty years at most.

Because the Eternal Night Empire's strategies towards the two are different, the main race in the Northern Continent is the human race, which is the same race as the Empire headquarters, while the main race in the Blood Empire is the vampires.

Before this, there were no vampires in the Eternal Night Empire, and they had no plans to subdue the vampires and add another subordinate race to themselves.

Moreover, these vampires with a unified will are not so easy to conquer. They still have a strong sense of identity with their own empire. It is nothing but a dream to conquer them with a little benefit like in the Northern Continent.

Therefore, when conquering the Northern Continent, the Eternal Night Empire was fighting and governing at the same time, but now that it is conquering the Western Continent, it is only fighting and not governing.

They just need to ensure that the vampires don't cause trouble. As for other aspects, I can only say, sorry...

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

During these three years, facing the fierce attack of the Eternal Night Army, the Blood Empire suffered a continuous defeat and was completely defeated, with one-tenth of its territory lost.

Although the proportion of one tenth is not large, you have to know that it includes several main cities with the strongest defenses in the Blood Empire.

Moreover, the early stage was the period when the Blood Empire was the strongest and had the most fierce resistance. Later, as the number of elite legions decreased, their resistance would only become weaker and weaker.

Just like a hedgehog, after knocking off the outermost shell, only the tender meat is left.

And this is indeed the case. The offensive of the Eternal Night Army did not weaken, but intensified. More and more legions arrived at the Western Continent, and in terms of military size, they completely suppressed the Blood Empire.

The Eternal Night Empire had no intention of fighting a protracted war. Although there would be a phase of legion rotation, the impact was very limited due to the convenience of the teleportation gate. At least the Blood Empire was completely unaware of it.

Faced with the crisis of national extinction, the entire Blood Empire was united as one, completely united as one, and burst out with extreme combat power. The brilliance of their will that they displayed was even more dazzling than that of the Alliance of Hundred Nations.

But it's no use, no matter how strong you are, you will still be swept away.

The blood clan warriors can fight to the death to defend their country, and the Eternal Night warriors can also fight to the death for the future of the empire.

Both sides have their own fighting beliefs.

It is hard to say whether this war is right or wrong.

The Blood Empire was not wrong. In the later period, they had completely given up their plans for external expansion and just wanted to close the door and live their own lives. As a result, they were beaten for no reason. It can be said that it was very unfair.

But was the Eternal Night Empire wrong?
From the perspective of the Blood Empire, it was indeed wrong. They had done nothing wrong, so why should they be invaded by other countries?

But from the perspective of the Eternal Night Empire, what they did was absolutely correct.

They want to unify the entire plane, and the Blood Empire is blocking the way, so they have to eliminate it. This is normal.

All we can say is that different positions lead to different perspectives on issues.

There is never any real right or wrong between countries.

If we really want to discuss right and wrong, we can only judge based on the interests of our own country.

……

The eighth year of the war.

The Blood Empire's Second Legion, this prestigious seventh-tier legion, was surrounded by the Silver Armor Legion and was completely wiped out.

Twelve years into the war.

More than half of the Blood Empire's territory has been lost, and it has completely lost the ability to engage in direct combat.

Fourteen years after the war began.

Only the core area of ​​the Blood Empire is still resisting, and the resistance is getting weaker and weaker. It's not that their fighting will has declined, but that there are fewer and fewer elite legions that can fight.

Fifteen years after the war began.

The Eternal Night Army invaded the capital of the Blood Empire, and the Blood Empire was officially declared destroyed.

However, when the empire was destroyed, the blood clan did not perish with it.

Millions of vampires rode a small star, escaped from their own plane, and began their journey of wandering in the void.
