Whether a war broke out or not was largely a matter of inevitability. However, when a war broke out was full of chance.
For example, the fuse of the First World War was the assassination of the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The fuse of the war in this world was the defeat of the first War of the Twin Dragons.
Countless citizens of the Qian Capital and the Great Qian Empire spontaneously rushed to the Great Yan Empire to fight.
Their first target was the refugee camps at the borders of the Great Yan Empire. They were the defectors from the Qian Capital.
After the War of the Twin Dragons, the Great Yan Dragon returned, but Shen Lang and the Great Dragon did not return. Almost everyone thought that Shen Lang and the Great Dragon were dead.
Millions of Great Qian Empire's defectors and the wealthiest nobles celebrated. They held banquets in their mansions and took the opportunity to curry favor with the officials of the Great Yan Empire.
At this point in time, their mindset had already changed. They began to probe for information. Shen Lang, the scourge, was finally dead, and the Great Qian Empire was about to be finished. When would the Great Yan Empire's army launch a large-scale attack on the Qian Empire?
We escaped from the Qian Capital. We can lead the way for the Great Yan Empire. We can rule the Qian Capital together from now on.
This group of top-notch refugees were all from the rich and powerful clans of Ying Guang's era. However, Shen Lang didn't go on a killing spree after he took over the Qianjing. Although they were removed from their positions, and some related people were even imprisoned, the vast majority of them still managed to keep their lives and even their properties.
Now that Shen Lang is done for, won't we be able to make a comeback when the Great Yan Empire rules over China in the future?
On the other hand, the refugees at the bottom had mixed feelings.
They were truly shocked. Shen Lang, the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire, had sacrificed himself to protect the Qian Capital and the citizens who had betrayed the Jiang Family?
As a result, two to three hundred thousand people chose to leave and return to the Great Qian Empire's territory. They knew that the Great Yan Empire would likely attack China and war would break out again.
Moreover, after the battle between the two dragons, the attitude of the officials of the Great Yan Empire had clearly changed. Previously, they were quite friendly to the refugees from the Great Qian Empire. However, after seeing that both Shenlang and the Jiang Clan's giant dragon were dead, their attitude instantly turned cold.
Just as this group of rich people were colluding with the officials of the Great Yan Empire to discuss how to celebrate the fall of Shenlang and how to invade and rule over the Qian Empire, countless citizens of the Great Qian Empire surged over like a tidal wave. Their numbers were uncountable, and the 20,000 soldiers of Yannan County could not stop them at all.
Then the tragedy of the South Yan Camp occurred.
The dignitaries and refugees who lived in the luxurious residences in the camp were almost all killed.
When Great Yan's great dragon returned, these people were overjoyed. Just because they heard that Shen Lang was dead, they drank a few catties of fine wine in celebration.
In the end, more than a dozen Chinese citizens tore him to shreds and minced him into mincemeat with hoes and machetes.
When Shen Lang took over Qianjing, he didn't even carry out a great purge. In the end, this time … they really died a clean death.
Tens of thousands of people were almost wiped out.
Even the officials of the Great Yan Empire who maintained the refugee camps and the thousands of soldiers were all killed.
Soon after, Yannan County was breached, and there were countless casualties.
The few provinces in the southwest of the Great Yan Empire quickly gathered their armies to quell the chaos.
When the Great Yan Empire's army moved, the Great Qian Empire's army also moved. Especially the Great Qian Empire's army. Their hearts were filled with hatred and fire. At the slightest provocation, the flames of war broke out.
In the beginning, the Great Qian Empire's army was unstoppable, especially the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were stationed in Qianjing. They were either the new Fury Tide Army or the newly surrendered soldiers from Stupa Mountain. They were extremely elite.
In less than a month, they destroyed the Kingdom of Liang and the Kingdom of Wei.
The enraged Great Qian Empire's army burned the Kingdom of Liang's palace and blasted the tombs of the royal family into ruins.
King Liang and Duke Wei had fled.
This Qianjing army swept through the Kingdom of Liang and the Kingdom of Wei, and then flattened two provinces of the Great Yan Empire.
At that time, Suo Xuan, Jin Zhuo, Zhang Chong, and the others who were guarding Fury Tide City were scared out of their wits.
The war broke out just like that.
As a last resort, Fury Tide City sent an astronomical amount of resources to Fury Tide City by air.
Countless Nightmare Stone Rifles, Nightmare Stone Machine Guns, Supersonic Flying Beasts, and dozens of Super Sky Fortresses.
Grand Scholar Twain originally wanted to make the interception system more perfect. After all, it was too big.
However, there was no time. He frantically made the Regret of the Dragon interception system.
He even modified the Super Sky Fortresses into the Regret of the Dragon interception system.
Since the war had already begun, it was time to go all out.
The King of Chu had just received a hundred and fifty thousand new soldiers who had been trained in Fury Tide City. He immediately led a hundred thousand troops south and destroyed the fake Qiang Kingdom.
The Qiang Kingdom belonged to Aru Nana. However, after she left, someone usurped the throne and swore loyalty to Ying Guang. After Ying Guang was destroyed, they desperately swore loyalty to the Great Yan Empire. However, the Great Qian Empire in Shen Lang didn't have time to deal with these clowns.
In the end, when the war started, the King of Chu led his army to destroy them.
After destroying the Qiang Kingdom and seizing a large number of horses, cows, and sheep, the King of Chu led hundreds of thousands of soldiers north into the Jin Kingdom.
At that time, the State of Yue and the Wu Kingdom had also received two hundred thousand new soldiers.
These new soldiers were equipped with brand new howitzers, miniature Dragon Power, Nightmare Stone Rifles, and so on. Even though there weren't many of them, most of the soldiers still needed to use more ordinary rifles.
However, these two hundred thousand soldiers attacked the Great Yan Empire from the south and east.
In an instant, the entire Great Qian Empire mobilized more than a million soldiers from west to east, from south to north.
The Great Yan Empire fared slightly better. However, its vassal states were caught off guard and were forced to retreat in defeat.
Even the Great Jin Kingdom was directly slaughtered by the armies of the Chu Kingdom and the Great Qian Empire. In just over a month, the Great Jin Kingdom had lost two provinces.
It could be said that the Great Qian Empire had the absolute upper hand in the first two months.
First, an army with righteous indignation was bound to win. Second, it was because of the new weapons in Fury Tide City.
In particular, the three hundred thousand new soldiers trained by the Great Qian Empire had astonishing combat strength.
Within three months, the Great Qian Empire's army had broken through all fronts. The Great Yan Empire had lost 1.5 million square kilometers of land, and six vassal states had been destroyed.
The Great Yan Emperor was still healing the dragon in the Forbidden Tower. He couldn't be disturbed.
Therefore, the battle was completely in the hands of the Great Yan Crown Prince and Princess Ji Xuan.
In the shortest time possible, the Great Yan Empire had gathered an astronomical number of soldiers and sent them to various battlefields.
The Great Yan Empire had nearly three thousand supersonic flying beasts, an army of thirty thousand snow eagles, and a secret army of nearly four hundred thousand soldiers.
The Punishing Sky Pavilion also had an army of five thousand snow eagles and a secret army of one hundred and thirty thousand soldiers.
There were also countless ancient crossbows, ancient giant crossbows, Dragon Power launchers, and so on.
In this world war, the Great Yan Empire finally stopped hiding, and an astronomical number of ancient weapons were revealed.
Many of the ancient weapons here were not excavated, but manufactured.
Since the Emperor had attained the Intermediate Dragon Enlightenment a long time ago, the Great Yan Empire was now able to manufacture a considerable number of ancient equipment and armor.
There were sixty thousand special warriors in ancient armor, and a secret army of five hundred thousand soldiers.
It was more than twice the number of Stupa Mountain, Ying Guang, Tongtian Temple, Shenlang, Sky-sea Pavilion, and other forces combined.
The Great Yan Empire's wealth was simply shocking.
Others had to explore ancient ruins to obtain ancient weapons, but the Emperor could make them himself.
There were also bloodline mutations and bloodline modifications. These were all left behind by the Emperor, because these were all included in the mid-tier dragon enlightenment.
After two to three months of war, four battlefields appeared in the eastern world.
King Wu led the eastern battlefield, King Yue led the southern battlefield, Prince Jin, Chou Yao 'er, and Su Nan led the main battlefield, and King Chu led the western battlefield.
After the Great Yan Empire's secret army of more than five hundred thousand soldiers entered the battlefield, the war situation was reversed.
The Great Qian Empire's army of more than a million soldiers was pushed back.
In two months, the Great Yan Empire had recovered a million square kilometers of lost land.
However, both sides were in a stalemate.
In this war, the Great Qian Empire was naturally shocked, because they did not expect the Great Yan Empire to be so rich, to have such an astronomical number of ancient weapons.
Not only the army, but the Dragon Army and Navy also had a large number of ancient warships.
The Great Qian Empire's main fleet, after several expansions, had nearly a hundred thousand people.
The Great Qian Empire's own navy, together with the navy that surrendered from Stupa Mountain, had a total of more than two hundred thousand.
Therefore, the battlefield was not only on land and in the sky, but also in the sea.
However, the Great Yan Empire was even more shocked in this war.
According to their previous thinking, with such a powerful secret army, which was several times more than the other forces combined, they could easily destroy the Great Qian Empire more than ten times over.
Moreover, the Great Qian Empire only had one Shenlang, after he was defeated, the Great Qian Empire would be vulnerable.
However, it was not like that at all.
The two armies were actually evenly matched.
In terms of air force, the Great Qian Empire had less than a thousand ultrasonic flying beasts, and about eight thousand snow eagles, which was less than one-sixth of the Great Yan Empire.
However, they had the Super Sky Fortress, the Nightmare Stone Rifles, and the Nightmare Stone Machine Guns. These terrifying weapons made up for the difference in numbers.
Therefore, the Great Qian Empire even had a slight upper hand in several aerial battles.
In terms of navy, the Great Yan Empire also had more than three times the Great Qian Empire, but they were not as good as the Great Qian Empire's air force.
Because the Great Qian Empire was an ally of the Lost Empire's sea monsters, after three wars, the Great Yan Empire's navy stopped thinking of invading Raging Tide City, and could only try their best to protect their own seas.
The Great Qian Empire's navy firmly controlled more than fifteen thousand li of the sea. They even went to the southern Dark Castle, completely annihilating and capturing the fleet that surrendered to the Great Yan Empire.
After gaining control of the sea, Raging Tide City's equipment, weapons, and trained new troops could continuously land to support the various battlefields.
There had never been such a crazy war in the eastern world.
In less than half a year, it was like a meat grinder.
The casualties on both sides were uncountable.
The Great Yan Empire was stronger than ever. It had a larger population and a larger army. Moreover, there were many secret ancient ruins that produced ancient armors and ancient weapons.
However, the Great Qian Empire's philosophy of war and weapons were more advanced.
Faced with such a terrible situation, the Crown Prince of Great Yan used the Super Regret of the Dragon without hesitation.
This was because Shen Lang was finished and had disappeared. There was no one else in the Da Qian Empire who could launch the Regret of the Dragon, and no one could stop it.
In the end … tragedy.
The Great Yan Empire's Super Regret of the Dragon was intercepted. Grand Secretary Twain's intercepting device worked, successfully intercepting three Super Regret of the Dragon.
In retaliation, the Great Qian Empire launched five Super Regret of the Dragon.
At that time, the Great Yan Empire was stunned. What had happened?
Wasn't Shen Lang finished? Was there no one in the Great Qian Empire who could launch the Super Regret of the Dragon?
Yes, Shen Lang was not here, but Shen Ye was.
As the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Empire, he had the authority to launch the Super Regret of the Dragon.
Of the five Super Regret of the Dragon, the Great Yan Empire successfully intercepted four, but failed to stop the last one. It exploded, resulting in heavy casualties.
Since then, both sides had a tacit understanding not to use the Super Regret of the Dragon.
In this great war, one person rose like a star. It was the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire, Shen Ye.
He did not need to appear brilliant, nor did he need to personally command the battle. However, he was always at the front line of the main force.
He was the one who intercepted the Super Regret of the Dragon and launched the counterattack.
That was enough!
In the beginning, the Great Qian Empire was determined to win with indignation as they wanted to take revenge for Emperor Shen Lang.
Then, Crown Prince Shen Ye gave everyone hope. The Great Qian Empire would never perish, and the Jiang Family would never perish.
Therefore, the Great Yan Emperor and Shen Lang did not participate in this world war.
In the end, the Great Qian Empire gained the upper hand.
If Great Yan's Emperor and Shen Lang did not show up, and the two dragons did not participate in the battle, the Great Yan Empire would definitely lose.
After the war, the development of new weapons in Raging Tide City entered an explosive period.
On average, there was a huge improvement every two months.
Due to the Lost Empire's army of sea monsters, Raging Tide City was completely safe.
The only thing that restricted the Great Qian Empire was the lack of Nightmare Stones.
In the end, the Fire God Sect used everything they had and shipped an astronomical number of Nightmare Stones to the Great Qian Empire three times. This was their accumulation over hundreds of years.
… …
Flame Capital's palace.
The atmosphere here was relaxed and somber.
They were relaxed because they thought the Great Yan Empire would win. Great Yan had a dragon, and the Great Qian Empire's dragon was dead.
When the Emperor came out of seclusion again, Great Yan's dragon would be completely restored, and the Great Qian Empire would be completely annihilated.
However … they had to at least hold on until the Emperor came out of seclusion again.
His Royal Highness felt the immense pressure.
The Great Yan Empire was so rich, but they were in such a sorry state in this war.
In the first three months, because they were unprepared, the Great Qian Empire's army penetrated thousands of miles into their territory. They lost 1.5 million kilometers of territory.
In the next two months, the Great Yan Empire's army pushed back and reclaimed a million square kilometers of territory.
However, after the war lasted for half a year, the scales of victory once again tipped in the Great Qian Empire's favor.
First was the western front. Although the Great Jin Empire had Great Yan's support and their own secret army, they were still losing ground.
However, the western front was further away from Flame Capital.
The most worrying thing was the southern front and the main battlefield.
The Great Qian Empire's main army and the State of Yue's new army would soon meet.
Currently, the Great Yan Empire had invested 700,000 soldiers on the main battlefield, while the Great Qian Empire had invested 300,000 soldiers. The Great Yan Empire still had a huge advantage. Moreover, they were on the defensive side.
However, once the State of Yue's army broke through Min Province's defensive line, they would meet up with the Great Qian Empire's main army. At that time, they would have 500,000 soldiers.
After the meaningless court meeting, the entire hall once again fell into silence.
The Crown Prince of Great Yan looked at the large map.
The eastern front was the least of his worries. After all, the Kingdom of Wu was weak. Although King Wu had more than 400,000 soldiers, the ones with real combat strength were the 150,000 new soldiers trained in Raging Tide City. The remaining 250,000 soldiers were very weak.
Although the Great Yan Empire's Prince Wu only had 300,000 soldiers, he could still stop King Wu's attack. It was impossible to counterattack because King Wu was backed by the Great Qian Empire's navy and the Lost Empire's sea monster army. If the situation was slightly disadvantageous, King Wu would immediately retreat into the Lost Empire's navy's protection.
The western front was the most disadvantageous. The Great Jin Empire could not hold on much longer. However, it was too far away.
The most worrying thing was the main battlefield.
Currently, the Great Qian Empire and Great Yan's main forces were distributed at Bing Province's defensive line.
Bing Province was the capital of the Great Yan Empire's Peace Province. It was 600 miles away from the Great Qian Empire's border and 2,900 miles away from Flame Capital.
In other words, the main battlefield was within the Great Yan Empire's borders. It was a great humiliation for the Great Qian Empire's main force to fight its way within 600 miles.
Although Bing Province seemed very far from Flame Capital.
However, once Bing Province's defensive line was breached, the remaining 2,000 miles would be a vast expanse of flat land.
King Yue's southern front was frantically attacking Min Province's defensive line. Once it was breached, they would successfully meet up with the Great Qian Empire's main force.
Following that, the 500,000 troops would break through Bing Province's defensive line. That meant that the Great Qian Empire's southern and western provinces would all fall.
This meant that the war that they had painstakingly balanced would collapse once again. Next, the Great Qian Empire's army would directly attack Flame Capital.
… …
"I used to think that the Great Qian Empire without Shen Lang was just a pile of mud. I didn't expect the Great Qian Empire to still be so ferocious without Shen Lang." The Great Yan Crown Prince sighed.
Prince Lian said, "The Great Qian Empire was like a baby in the past. Shen Lang had always been protecting it. Now that a few years have passed, the Great Qian Empire has grown."
Princess Ji Xuan said, "The Shen Lang's development strategy has been a combination of technology and ancient civilization. We didn't understand it in the past, but we do now."
Prince Lian said, "It's truly earth-shattering. Their new army is clearly made up of ordinary people, while our hundreds of thousands of people are Special Warriors with modified bloodlines, secret warriors, and we even have ancient armor and special armor. Yet, we still can't stop their sharp attacks."
Indeed, they could not stop them. The Great Qian Empire's war had become a system.
First, they would use the Nightmare Stone Magnetic Bombs to paralyze their control center, ancient armors, and ancient weapons.
Next, they would use the Hellfire shells and grenades to bombard the ground.
Then, they would use the Nightmare Stone Rifles to shoot.
No words could describe the scene. Carpet bombing, hundreds of thousands of Nightmare Stone Rifles, and countless machine guns fired at the same time. It was like a storm of bullets.
Currently, the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms were running low on resources. The Xilun Empire's huge merchant ships were continuously transporting all kinds of metals.
Especially the Fire God Sect. In order to support this war, they had emptied their hundreds of years of wealth.
They did not even know what the Fire God Sect was doing this for. Was it worth sacrificing so much? What could they possibly gain from the Great Qian Empire?
Great Yan's Crown Prince finally sighed. "It's all thanks to Father and the Great Dragon."
Prince Lian and Princess Ji Xuan could not agree more.
Yes, fortunately, the Great Yan Empire had the Giant Dragons. The Great Qian Empire's Giant Dragons were gone.
Otherwise, the Great Yan Empire would have lost this war.
"Although we all know that when father comes out of secluded cultivation and when Great Yan's Great Dragon appears again, all of our enemies will be annihilated," Great Yan's Crown Prince said, "We can't lose the defense line in Bing Province. We can't afford to lose the battle of Bing Province. If we lose, I … won't have the face to inherit the throne. "
Currently, all the officials of the Great Yan Empire firmly believed that Great Yan would win because they had the supreme emperor and the Great Yan Dragon.
However … what about the Crown Prince?
Even without Shen Lang's protection, the Great Qian Empire could still win. If the Crown Prince lost the emperor's protection, would he suffer defeat after defeat?
Who was the supreme commander of both sides in this world war?
On the Great Yan Empire's side, it was the Crown Prince.
Coincidentally, the Great Qian Empire had many officials and valiant generals. There were already five princes and more than ten supreme commanders who could hold their own. However, there was only one supreme commander in name, the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire, Shen Ye.
The Crown Prince was in his forties or fifties, but Shen Ye was not even 11 years old.
If the Great Yan Crown Prince lost this war, people would say that the Crown Prince was inferior to an 11-year-old child. How could he inherit the throne?
At this moment, everyone was waiting with bated breath. When would the emperor come out of secluded cultivation? Hurry up and conquer the world with the Giant Dragons.
Great Yan's Crown Prince was the only one who did not want his father to come out of seclusion.
At the very least, his father would only come out after he won the decisive war at Bing Province and defeated the main force of the Great Qian Empire.
Perhaps, the emperor had the same thought as well.
Currently, Great Yan's main force and the Great Qian Empire's main force had completed their final assembly at Bing Province's battlefield.
The decisive war was about to begin.
This war was crucial. If the Great Qian Empire lost, it would mean that the Great Qian Empire was at a disadvantage. Then, Great Yan's main force would continue to push the flames of war into the Great Qian Empire's territory.
If Great Yan lost, it would be … a colossal failure.
Next, the Great Qian Empire's main force would attack Flame Capital, which was more than 2,000 miles away. It was almost impossible for the Great Yan Empire to build a defense line as strong as the one at Bing Province.
"Should we use Super's Remorse of the Dragon?" Prince Lian asked, "Although the Great Qian Empire has interceptors, if we fire 50 or 100 Super's Remorse of the Dragon at once, they won't be able to stop us."
Princess Ji Xuan said, "If that's the case, the Great Qian Empire's dozens of Remorse of the Dragon will land on us. Even if they land on our key cities, we won't be able to stop them."
Prince Lian said, "However, the number of Remorse of the Dragon and Dragon Power launchers we have far exceeds the Great Qian Empire, don't we?"
Great Yan's crown prince said, "If that happens, there will be millions of casualties. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we can't fire the Remorse of the Dragon at each other. "
Prince Lian said, "Is it possible to assassinate the Great Qian Empire's crown prince?"
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Should I do it myself? Or should I let the master of the Punishing Heaven Pavilion or Ji Wushuang do it? "
Prince Lian fell silent. That was indeed impossible. The Great Qian Empire's crown prince, Shen Ye, had more than a few thousand elites and special warriors by his side.
Not only were there elite experts like Chou Yao 'er and the Big Fool, but there were also the puppeteer grandmasters who had surrendered and been modified from Stupa Mountain.
Assassinating Shen Ye in the midst of an army of hundreds of thousands? That was wishful thinking.
The six high priests of the western region's Fire God Sect were guarding Shen Ye at all times.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"It's urgent! It's urgent!"
Suddenly, a Great Yan Empire's Black Water Platform warrior descended from the sky on a snow eagle.
Then, he raised a memorial high up in the air and rushed in crazily.
There were five feathers attached to the memorial. It seemed to be of the highest grade.
The Great Yan's crown prince looked at the Black Water Platform warrior's armor and knew that the warrior came from the west.
What could possibly happen to the battle in the west?
Although the Great Jin Empire was losing ground, it still had three-quarters of its territory. At the very least, it would not be in danger of destruction for the next few months.
Although the Chu Emperor's attacks were fierce, he only had 400,000 soldiers. Among them, only the 100,000 or so new soldiers trained in Raging Tidewater City could fight.
As the battle progressed, the Chu Emperor's army was no longer as unstoppable as before. The Great Jin Empire's crown prince was barely holding on.
"Your Highness, the Great Jin Empire's main force is almost completely annihilated. The enemy is heading straight for the Great Jin Empire's capital. Should we save them?" The Black Water Platform scout shouted, "This is the Great Jin Empire's crown prince's request for reinforcements. A few hundred people were sent to deliver it. I was the first to deliver it."
The Great Yan's crown prince, Princess Ji Xuan, and Prince Lian were stunned.
'Is he crazy? How is this possible? '
Although the Great Jin Empire suffered great losses at Dingyuan City, they still had close to a million soldiers. In addition to the Great Yan Empire's 100,000 reinforcements.
Even if they could not defeat the Chu Emperor, they should have no problem defending. After all, they had an army three times the size of the Chu Emperor's.
"That's impossible. After half a year of war, the Chu Emperor won't have more than 300,000 soldiers. The Great Qian Empire's Guoyuan, Li Hongtu, won't have more than 100,000 soldiers. Moreover, their combat strength is worrying." The Great Yan's crown prince said, "The King of Jin has a strong city and countless soldiers. How can they lose so quickly?"
The Black Water Platform scout said, "The western battlefield was in a stalemate but in the end, 150,000 Great Tribulation Temple troops charged over from the west. Almost all of them were secret armies and they were unstoppable. The Great Qian Empire's King Chu, the Great Qian Empire's Li Hongtu, and the Great Tribulation Temple's army attacked King Jin's army from the east, south, and west. After fighting for two days, King Jin was defeated and there were many casualties. "
When the Crown Prince of Great Yan heard this, he almost lost his mind.
Great Tribulation Temple's army? The Great Tribulation Temple had already been destroyed in the Western Region, so where did this secret army come from? One hundred and fifty thousand? Who was he trying to fool?
Emerging from the ground?
However, today was destined to be the day of calamity for the Great Yan Empire.
Another supersonic flying beast flew over from the sky. It was another Black Water Platform Samurai.
"Report, report, Min State defense line has fallen. King Yue's army has occupied Min State City and will soon meet up with Great Gan's main force. The defense line of the Bing Province is in danger, in danger! "
