God Level Summoner

Chapter 425 Cold Current
People were a little perplexed by this result.Generally speaking, when commenting on the four great powers in the Roentgen Continent, Northen Rock is the oldest and has the deepest heritage, and the Eight Towers Alliance has powerful magic and is the most difficult to mess with.The Holy See of Wagmir is powerful, with believers all over the continent, and its potential power is unfathomable.And if you talk about the direct strong force army, it is the strongest in Aude, which is located in the Eastern Continent.

Because of the nature of the federal system, it is impossible to politically co-operate with the allied countries. Therefore, since the establishment of the first generation of Odd city lords who established the federation, the federal emperor has focused on strengthening the army, using powerful weapons to restrain the actions of the allied countries, and act in a unified manner. .Today, in essence, Oder has almost become a complete dynastic country, and the affiliated countries only maintain the status of a single entity in name, and most of the actual power is returned to the central government.

Therefore, the strength of the Austro-German army has always been the strongest.Several times in the past, regardless of the friction and conflict with the Eight Towers Alliance or Northen Rock, all ended in Ord's victory.

On the contrary, Wagmir has always regarded himself as the kingdom of the Holy See, emphasizing the supremacy of religion.Their past popes have been committed to promoting the Temple of Light, spreading the temples of the church all over the continent, and making everyone believe in Pero, the God of Light.In terms of the army, I don't care too much.And apart from the occasional small border friction with Northen Rock, no one has provoked them.Because of the large number of believers, the country that provokes the war will fall into a very disadvantageous position in public opinion.

So this time it was actually Wagmir's aid army that defeated the Odd aid army with weak forces, which is so surprising.It was a long time later that people learned some details of this battle-the rout of the Austro-German reinforcements was mainly due to lack of preparation.This preparation does not mean that they are not ready to intervene in the Alban Civil War. In fact, they intervened long before Wagmir.This shortcoming is mainly due to the fact that Wagmir did not expect to intervene so quickly and dispatched the most elite troops. He seriously underestimated the time and intensity of the outbreak of the large-scale Second Civil War.

But whether it is intentional or not, what has become a fact cannot be changed.Therefore, in World War I, the balance of the civil war quickly tilted to Ingersoll's side, and Huntington's side retreated steadily.In less than five days, the capital Alban was besieged by Ingersoll's army.

As the capital of the Principality of St. Alban, with high walls and a large population, the outside world thought it would be stalemate for a while.Even Ord will send reinforcements over soon, and even cause the situation between the two sides to be reversed one step further.

However, what is surprising again is that the duration of the last war was even shorter than that of the previous war. In less than three days, Alban was completely defeated.Ingersoll's side paid even less than 1000 sacrifices.After the army entered the city, they successfully captured the haggard Huntington in the Grand Duke's palace.

On December [-], Ingersoll officially ascended the throne, succeeding the new Grand Duke of St. Alban.The first thing he did after he took the throne was to announce the move of the capital to Pompeii, but the name of the principality remained unchanged as the Principality of St. Alban.As a victor, and he has just succeeded to the throne with a big victory, there is basically no opposition to such a major event that would normally be noisy.

At the end of the year, another major event broke out in the Aude Federation that shocked the entire continent. At the same time, the occurrence of this incident also explained why Aude did not send more forces to support Huntington, which led to Huntington's defeat so quickly.

Odd's throne was also changed.

Warnerheim, the commander-in-chief of the federal army, announced that "with the ardent expectations of the people and the support of all the soldiers of the Austro-German federal army", he was reluctant to do so. Resolutely take over as the new emperor of the Federation."

This sudden incident stirred up a lot of turmoil, but it also calmed down very quickly. The reason is that Varnerheim actually controlled the federal power after he became the commander-in-chief of the army 20 years ago.The emperor who was ousted by him has long since become a recognized puppet.

So in these years, especially in the last ten years, there have been endless rumors about Varnerheim's seizure of power.So when he really did this step, people were shocked, let alone calmed down, with a mentality of "I say it will definitely be like this".And because of Varnerheim's own strength—he had become the top fighter in the warrior system five years ago—and his great reputation in the army, there were hardly any disturbances within Ord.

So when the Second Continental Calendar 2076, the Year of Spring Grass and Bones was coming to an end, the two major powers located in the east and west of the continent both completed abnormal regime changes, and the process went surprisingly smoothly without causing any civil strife—of course, The rumored riots in the Wagmir capital of Andrr after Ramsden's accession do not count.

Although there have been no civil strife in the two countries, abnormal regime change is the most destabilizing factor.Those who are well aware of power struggles know that if you can't vent it internally, you have to vent it externally.

So when the Astrologers Guild announced the new year's name "The Year of Dew and Morning Frost" on the first day of the new year, almost everyone felt a bone-chilling chill—that was the dazzling cold light emitted by countless weapons, and the weapons factories of various sizes The combination of ding ding dong dong hammer sounds formed a cold current that spread to the entire continent.

All countries on the entire continent, no matter how big or small, have begun to prepare for war, but they are not crazy enough.Strong ones like Wagmir and Odd have even assembled armies on their respective borders and are ready to go.Later, those who moved, such as Northen Rock, also began to recruit soldiers on a large scale, squeezing the national power that was riddled with holes after the demon tide and the undead invasion to the deepest point.

The Eight Towers Alliance, which has always had a small army, also acted quite quickly this time.On the second day of the new year, it was announced that the size of the army would double, from 5 to [-].Although even if it is one hundred thousand, it is far behind Ord and Wagmir, and even worse than Northen Rock, but no one dares to underestimate them.The Eight Towers Alliance claims that every soldier is skilled in both magic and martial arts, as if they are a super-magnified version of the Demon Sword Soldier Corps of the Northern Rock Central Army.

Although this statement is not entirely true, it is an indisputable fact that there are many magic masters in their army, and the power of magic is often not something that an ordinary swordsman can contend with.Preliminary calculations by those who are interested, the 30 troops of the Eight Towers Alliance can be used as [-].

And the southern duchies, who were always weak in the mainland situation, also took action early because of the St. Albans Civil War. The duchies desperately expanded the size of their troops and purchased a large amount of ordnance from abroad.

But what is ridiculous is that in the process of expanding their military power, they discovered that because they have always paid too much attention to business and neglected the development of the army, when the army is needed, they are faced with a situation where money is difficult to do well.

For example, to recruit soldiers, each principality offered high military salaries and settling allowances, etc. to increase the temptation, but very few people were willing to join the army-no matter how high the price was, it was definitely not as good as doing business to make money, that's for sure.As for ordnance, they pay little attention to it, resulting in very few domestic ordnance factories and even scarcer high-quality ones.However, outsourcing, most of them can only buy some poor quality.

At this time, all countries are expanding their military power, and it is often insufficient to meet their own needs, so there is not much export.Even if they use gold coins to open the way, such strategic materials are difficult to circulate.

So when these guys who lacked strategic vision were busy, the horn of the war between Lu and the Year of Morning Frost was blew the first sound by the New Principality of St. Alban - the battle between St. Alban and Ryan.

This battle was both expected and unexpected by everyone.

As expected, it means that Ingersoll pointed the first sword of expansion at the Principality of Ryan.It is a well-known fact after the St. Alban Civil War that Ryan had already secretly allied himself with Ord, and Ord used it as a springboard to intervene in the Civil War.It is rumored that Ingersoll's right-hand man was hunted down by General Odd for thousands of miles in Ryan.

In this case, it makes no sense for Ingersoll not to cut Ryan with his first sword.

Unexpectedly, Ryan, like Huntington who fought against Ingersoll before, lost quickly and fiercely.The combined armies of St. Alban and Wagmir conquered the entire territory of Ryan in less than ten days.

Afterwards, people learned that the [-] Odd reinforcements who had been stationed in Ryan earlier retreated hastily at the beginning of St. Alban's offensive and returned to the Odd as quickly as possible. Of course, the remaining Ryan army could not support it alone. .

On January [-], Ingersoll personally announced in Ryan City, the capital of the Principality of Ryan, that the Principality of Ryan was dead and divided it into three prefectures, upper, middle and lower, among which Upper Ryan was merged into Wagmir. Middle and Lower Ryan House is not like St. Albans.At the same time, St. Alban abolished the title of the Principality and replaced it with the Kingdom of St. Alban, who became the first emperor.

So far, the entire continent has known Ingersoll's plan, or ambition - to unify the south of the continent!

All the other duchies panicked at this moment, swearing at people, asking for help, and peace talks.

But no matter how these principalities react, the overall strategy agreed upon by Raleigh will never change.On January 25, the combined forces of St. Alban and Wagmir embarked on the journey again and simultaneously invaded the two principalities adjacent to the southeast of Ryan.These two poor countries did not survive even ten days, and they were completely defeated.

The quick fall of the two duchies again put all squabbling to rest.The remaining ten southern duchies quickly split into two factions. One, represented by the Bandar Duchy south of St. Alban, united the other three small duchies and collectively sent envoys to negotiate with Ingersoll.For their purpose, they can be incorporated into St. Albans, but they must be given a certain degree of autonomy.

The other faction, represented by the Duchy of Fillinger, which has long been known as the two southern duchies together with St. Alban, united with other duchies and issued an announcement declaring resistance to the end.Moreover, Fillinger also claimed that he has the support of the Eight Towers Alliance, and the alliance has sent a powerful mage troop, which will arrive soon to assist in the battle.

After the Eight Towers Alliance blatantly intervened, the remaining two major powers soon expressed their attitudes, and they supported Fillinger's side extremely unanimously.

Northenrock said that Ingersoll was a shameless invader, comparable to the undead and orc alliances that are now invading them, and said that they would "do everything in their power and resources to support the Principality of Flinger and its allies."But everyone in the world knows that now that he is a full-faced Northon Rock, he has no spare energy to support Fillinger, and at most it's just such a free saliva.

Another big country, Odd, was much stronger. On February [-]nd, the day Fillinger announced that he would lead the formation of the resistance alliance, he announced that he would send [-] elite troops to aid.And maybe the troops that entered the south to explore the road earlier were repeatedly defeated by Ingersoll, and they were very angry, and their actions were quite fast.In less than three days, the army was announced to go out.
