In the face of the Marsh Army with a calamity level combat power like the giant hydra, even the strongest fortress was not much stronger than an ordinary small village.
The reason why the Red Tree Fortress could last until now was that there were four Legendary Masters and a Demigod in it.
Putting aside the four Legendary Masters, the Demigod was a real strategic force. Even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses, they had no chance of winning against him.
However, there were also Demigod Masters in the Marsh Army.
For a long time, the main reason why the Marsh clans were able to resist the human invasion was because of those Demigod Masters who stayed in the human world and refused to leave.
Some of them became the ancestral totem of the tribe, some produced countless descendants, and some cultivated all day and never showed up in front of people.
However, for the future of their race, under the summons and invitation of the Marsh Gods and the pleading and calling of the Marsh clans, they stepped onto the battlefield one after another.
At the moment, among the Marsh Army surrounding the Red Tree Fortress, there were two Demigod Masters.
Two against one, the Marsh side had a considerable advantage. But even so, they were not sure that they could keep the human Demigod Master here.
The other party might not be able to defeat them, but at least he had the ability to break through the siege and escape.
Or … if the other party refused to escape and insisted on fighting to the end, the battle between them would probably affect all the living creatures here, and they would all die without a burial place.
Of course, this was something that the Demigod Masters on both sides did not want to see.
So the battle fell into a stalemate and formed a long-term siege.
However, the Red Tree Fortress could hold on, but the other fortresses could not.
When the army that the Duchy of Thunder urgently mobilized arrived, there were only three strongholds that had been developed for a long time. Among them, the Red Tree Fortress was included.
The army of the Duchy of Thunder, of course, immediately launched an attack on the Marsh clans. Both sides fought fiercely, and there were many casualties.
Then, like the defense line of the Great Wall in the northeast of the continent, they each built their own positions and launched a long-term confrontation.
In this way, the Duchy of Thunder certainly did not have the strength to support the defense line of the Great Wall — in fact, they still needed support themselves.
If not for the support from the Mifata Federation, they would not even be able to defend their own defense line.
At this time, the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs finally crossed the mountains with great difficulty, and at the risk of losing more than 20% of their troops, they rushed to the northern fortress group of the Eagle Kingdom.
Fortunately, they had arrived just in time. If they had been late by even two or three days, they could only look at the fallen fortresses and sigh with regret. At the same time, they could also collect King Igor's corpse.
With their support, the Eagle Kingdom was able to hold on to the last and strongest fortress, so they could still fight this war.
On the other side, the Commonwealth of Gold Coins had not been able to break through the obstruction of the Marsh Corps. Even though they had already sent three reinforcements, they were helpless against the allied forces of the Marsh Tribes who were also sending reinforcements to block their way.
The terrain of the swamp was really not suitable for humans to fight. Starting a war in such a place was simply too advantageous for the various races of the Marsh Tribe.
What was worse was that the Marsh Alliance Army had received support from the Graystone Mountain Range.
The barbarian races were essentially half beastmen. In this war that would decide the rise and fall of the various races, they would naturally stand on the side of the beastmen.
In fact, the barbarian gods had long participated in this war under the leadership of their main god, the "Steel Lion" Morani. Even though their relationship with the Orc gods had become estranged, they were still the gods of the half beastmen. In the face of this war for the survival of their species, they could not choose to be neutral like their allies, the gods of the Void.
For this, Morani had apologized to Sui Xiong, and Sui Xiong had accepted his apology.
It was true that they were all friends, but friends also had their own standpoints. He could not force others against their will.
What Morani could do was to restrain the half beastmen and the barbarian races from launching a massacre against the humans.
Actually, there was no need to worry about this. Even if they wanted to massacre, they had not had the chance to do so.
At present, among the human countries, the one in the most critical situation was still the Duchy of Griffon. After their capital was breached by the allied forces of the underground races and the pygmies, the morale of the Duchy of Griffon was greatly weakened. Under the attacks of the allied forces, they continued to lose territory and were in a sorry state.
Seeing that the Duchy of Griffon was about to collapse, the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, which had always been on bad terms with it, finally sent troops to help it defend a piece of territory in the east.
Although after this war, the Duchy of Griffon might be annexed by the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, no matter what, at least for now, it could still struggle at death's door.
And among the human countries, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, which was the most aggressive, had also paid a heavy price for its years of aggression.
On the day that their elite troops arrived at the northern defense line of the Kingdom of Eagle, the allied forces of the elves and dwarves, who had been preparing for a long time, suddenly rushed out of the Ancient Forest and the Mountain of Broken Clouds, flanking the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs and launching a fierce attack on the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs.
Of course, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs had long been prepared for this. But being prepared did not mean that they could defend against it. In the face of the joint and fierce attack of two old rivals, even the people of Thousands of Springs, who were happy to hear of the battle, fought extremely hard, and the line of defense retreated again and again.
Every time the line of defense retreated, there would be a large number of corpses of the men of Thousands of Springs.
Of course, the dwarves and the elves also suffered heavy losses, but this was a decisive battle that they had to win. Even the gods had turned out in full force, so what else could the mortals say?
If they won, everyone could obtain peace and prosperity; if they lost, there would no longer be a place to stand on the Main Plane.
Then what else was there to think about? They just had to fight with their lives!
Therefore, the flames of war were everywhere in the world, and almost all countries were involved in the flames of war. Except for the southernmost part of the mainland, which was at least in peace, only the faraway Republic of Northwest was not affected by the flames of war.
Large numbers of refugees migrated to the Republic of Northwest, and the Church of the Void Mask mobilized all the forces to ensure their safety.
And the gods that the Church of the Void Mask believed in came to the south, to the Mifata Federation, and stopped in the sky above it, looking serious and silent.
Above the South Sea, the thick clouds of war almost made the gods feel suffocated.
Sui Xiong could clearly see that there were large numbers of murlocs gathering here from all directions. Most of them were unarmed, but they had fanatical and even crazy looks on their faces.
He could also guess what these guys wanted to do, and he could not help but be secretly speechless.
A large number of murlocs gathered in the South Sea, other than to attack the Mifata Federation, what else could it be for?
He did not expect that this group of murlocs, who had lacked a sense of existence for many years, would actually make such a big news.
