Chapter 226.
the huge gap annihilation.
Faced with the attack from the eternal knight empire, the blood empire did not sit idly by and wait for destruction.
After a brief moment of days, they mobilized the entire nation, gathered heavy troops, and launched a counterattack.
The momentum of this counterattack was extremely fierce.
The purpose was quite simple.
to take advantage of the fact that the Eternal Knight Empire had not yet stabilized its footing and to strike hard, directly pushing them out and then returning the battlefield to the border of the Northwest continent.
The idea was beautiful, but the reality was somewhat cruel.
The Blood Empire mobilized national forces and had the advantage of home ground.
Indeed, unleashing astonishing power in a short time.
However, during the time they were stunned and redeploying troops, the Eternal Knight Empire had already, to put exaggeratively, the elite legions of the Eternal Knight Empire scattered across the Western Continent even outnumbered the Blood Empire, which was a native Empire.
Although they referred to it as the Western Continent formulating strategies, treating it as a whole, the Western continent was not small, covering tens of millions of square kilm.
Even as some parts were uninhabited, it was still quite exaggerated, stretching nearly 10,000 mi from north to south.
It was fortunate that there was a special method of communication.
Otherwise, it was likely that the Blood Palace would not have received news of the invasion until now.
However, receiving the news was one thing, and mobilizing troops was another.
Prior to this, the main legions of the blood empire had gathered at the border of the northern continent and the heart of the empire, being somewhat lax in controlling the coastal cities.
After all, no one had anticipated that over a million sea warriors would simultaneously launch a full-scale invasion.
Therefore, for a time, they actually found themselves at a disadvantage in terms of the number of elite legions in the coastal cities.
This was completely different from the original expectations of the blood empire.
After occupying the coastal cities, the sea legions did not continue to push deeper.
They were not fools.
As a deep sea race, being able to capture the coastal cities with some small tricks was already quite remarkable.
To push further inland would be tantamount to seeking death.
Moreover, they were in a position of advantage now.
It should be the opposing side that was anxious.
Thus, the various sea legions began to build defensive lines on the spot to provide a relatively stable rear for the Imperial legions that would arrive later.
Naturally, the Blood Empire would not just watch this unfold.
They launched a fierce attack and ended up suffering even greater losses.
Aside from regaining a few cities in a handful of locations, the Blood Empire's troops were utterly defeated in other important cities, especially the main cities, with some even being completely annihilated.
Then a horrifying piece of intelligence was confirmed for the Blood Empire.
They discovered the reason for the sudden attacks.
It was the teleportation gates.
The Eternal Knight Empire had long developed teleportation gates and had already deployed them right at their doorstep.
What was even more terrifying was that the Eternal Knight Empire was constructing teleportation gates on the Western continent.
The reason the Eternal Knight army was not eager to attack the cities was precisely here.
They planned to first set up the teleportation gates at the front lines, allowing the Imperial Army to directly penetrate into the heart of the Blood Empire.
This discovery drove all the high-ranking members of the Bloodclan mad.
This was not just deploying them at their doorstep.
It was directly deploying them in their bedroom.
The Blood Empire utilized all their means to try to disrupt the strategic intentions of the Eternal Knight Empire, but as expected, they failed.
Under the relentless assaults of the Blood Empire, a few of the teleportation gates under construction were indeed destroyed.
After all, this was the Blood Empire's homeground, and they still had some capabilities.
Additionally, destruction is easier than construction.
A few strategic strikes could normally destroy a teleportation gate.
However, it was of no use.
The Eternal Knight Empire was not lacking in resources at all.
They constructed 10 teleportation gates simultaneously.
As long as one could be operational, it would be a victory.
Once the teleportation gates were established, the Eternal Knight Empire launched an even more outrageous offensive than in the previous war.
The Army of the Undead, the Black Dragon's Nest, the Inferno Lands, and the Orc Alliance, undead, draconic creatures, hell hounds, and jackals.
Not only the main body of the Eternal Knight Empire, but also a large number of warriors from various affiliated territories were deployed.
With a scale far exceeding the Blood Empire's imagination, even the high-ranking members of the Eternal Knight Empire did not expect to mobilize so many warriors.
The appearance of the teleportation gates greatly alleviated the pressure of troop deployment, almost eliminating the distance between the two places, allowing their territories to directly connect.
With the abundant marshall spirit atmosphere of the empire combined with an absurdly strong foundation, it could be said that any adult citizen of the empire was a qualified warrior.
In order to achieve accomplishments, these citizens spontaneously organized into various makeshift legions using the teleportation gates to wage war on the western continent without the constraints of distance and logistical difficulties.
They were very willing to fight for the eternal knight empire.
This situation was particularly prominent in the various affiliated territories.
If the main body of the empire, the human race of the eastern continent had developed some entertainment culture over the years, then in the affiliated territories.
The only way for various races to entertain themselves was through fighting.
Every year quite a number of monster warriors died in private duels in the affiliated territories.
And this was already under the situation where the Eternal Knight Empire had issued relevant decrees.
If they were truly managed by the various races themselves, it would likely develop into a situation like that of the Naga Kingdom with various races waring against each other.
This was related to their inherent racial characteristics as the monster races were inherently brutal in nature.
Additionally, the deities they worshiped had a bit of a himm wickedness.
Thus, they did not care much about death.
To them, death was merely a form of deep sleep.
Therefore, the current western continent provided them with a channel for venting, allowing them to release that uncontainable energy.
A win-win situation.
After nearly half a year of arduous battles, the Eternal Knight Empire had firmly established its foothold on the Western Continent began to implement a comprehensive occupation plan.
The Sea Legions blocked all maritime passages to the western continent and dispatched some sea warriors to advance along the rivers, gradually occupying the waterways of the western continent.
The undead army descended from the northern part of the continent, unleashing a necroantic calamity, rapidly devouring the blood empire's desert territories in the north.
The monster allied forces invaded from the west with a complex mountainous terrain was very suitable for their warfare as the order among monster warriors was inherently poor.
Even after years of training, while they had made some progress, the preferred combat style remained chaotic battles.
On a chaotic battlefield, they could leverage their individual strengths.
The monster allied forces employed two methods of attack.
One side besieged cities with large armies, continuously capturing bloodclan cities, while the other side cleared local bloodclan forces in units of thousands.
The southern and eastern parts of the western continent were managed by the main body of the empire, where the terrain was primarily plains, very suitable for large-scale legion warfare.
Among the three battlefields, the most intense was undoubtedly the last one.
With the most elite legions from both sides gathered, with a number of soldiers exceeding a million, rivaling the final battle that annihilated 100 nations, the two sides engaged in bloody combat around several major cities, reaching extreme brutality.
Ordinary warriors who would usually be considered elite fell like ants, truly embodying the saying, "Sixth tier is not as good as a dog.
Seventh tier is everywhere on this grand battlefield.
Even a demagod could fall.
Not to mention merely at the junction of the two continents.
The number of demagods had already reached double digits.
The reorganized legions of the Eternal Knight Empire were going all out this time.
This full force is not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality.
Aside from the Temple Guard Legion remaining in Eternal Knight City to protect the safety of the Imperial Capital, all six complete seventh tier legions have arrived on the Western Continent.
And there are even more Quasi 7th tier legions, sixth tier Epic Legions, and the Imperial Guard Legion than one can count.
During the destruction of the Hundred Nations Alliance and the conquest of the Northern Continent, the Eternal Knight Empire gave birth to too many elite legions.
Previously, due to various restrictions, they could not be deployed to the battlefield.
But now, with the teleportation gates, all these elite legions can be sent over.
The situation on the battlefield is very clear.
The eternal knight empire is rapidly occupying the territory of the blood empire with a crushing momentum.
Even though they were wellprepared, having built magic towers and set up large magic arrays across the continent and mobilized the entire blood race with various blood clans working together to provide maximum assistance to the empire.
All of this is meaningless in the face of absolute strength.
Are there many magic towers? Then remove them all.
Are the magic arrays strong? Then destroy them all.
Are there many blood warriors? Then send more eternal knight warriors over to eliminate them all.
The Eternal Knight army directly pierced through their defenses in a manner that can only be described as brutal.
