Perhaps in legends, the individual bravery of a powerful hero would allow him to fight against thousands alone, or even create an entire army by himself.
Many highly intelligent strategists would be able to calculate every single move of the enemy. A single fire or trap would be able to reduce an army of millions to ashes.
Perhaps this was the past of the Aishi world, but now, it was basically impossible.
This wasn't just because the difference in individual combat strength was infinitely narrowed by modern magical engineering technology. The appearance of magical armor and battleships made the strong less scary. Even a superhuman's physical body would one day become weak when faced with an endless army of steel.
More importantly, the scale of the battlefield had increased, along with the information technology that came with it.
In previous wars, both sides would send out scouts, sentries, and spies to collect information and deceive the enemy. Only then would they be able to use intelligent methods to attack the enemy.
However, in the modern era, both sides had various magical engineering techniques for investigation and counter-investigation. Various prophecies and clairvoyance magic were used 24 hours a day. There were even powerful individuals who tried to peek into the future through the river of time. There were even Gods who directly interfered with the domain of fate and luck.
Some people said that the development of technology made the individual bravery of a soldier meaningless. Meanwhile, the development of magic and magical engineering was even more excessive than technology.
The result of both sides using all their methods was that their unconventional methods would be canceled out. (If they weren't canceled out, the weaker side would have already been defeated, and the battle would be one-sided.) Both sides' arrangements on the battlefield would be exposed by various investigative techniques. Countless pairs of eyes would be watching from various angles. Even if one side succeeded in doing something, it would only be effective for a short period of time. It would be quickly exposed.
"… The investment of millions of soldiers is all a cover. Their true goal is the Elemental Plane and the Elemental Throne …"
Although the Evil Gods didn't have a general staff, the various Gods of Eich had experienced the baptism of countless dimensional wars. They understood the importance of information and coordination in modern warfare. The moment the Evil Gods entered a period of unrest, the various Gods of Eich began sharing and exchanging information.
The Evil Gods' goal was exposed by the efforts of countless prophets, spies, clairvoyants, intelligence officers, and fate investigators in the fourth hour of the airdrop battle.
"They know the location and formation time of the Ansorenne Plane's elements even better than we do."
"There's a spy! There's definitely one! "
"Of course, there are plenty of evil cultists. Who knows how many Aishi People have joined outsiders these days? We can send spies to the Evil Gods. They only need to corrupt intelligent life forms to obtain countless spies. We are naturally at a disadvantage in the intelligence war. "
"… It's understandable. We only have one experience in understanding the planes and elements. This is our second time. As for them, they have probably experienced this countless times already. "
"That makes sense. No matter how I look at it, I have no chance of winning against the Evil Gods in terms of knowledge and elemental theory."
Let's not talk about how the Aishi People were trying to shift the blame. The Aishi People had already suffered a loss at the outpost before the dimensional war started.
The Aishi People predicted that the war would start in three years, or at least one and a half years. Only then would the Planar Barrier weaken enough to withstand a war of attrition.
If they were to forcefully airdrop it now, no one would be able to withstand the consumption rate of 95% and above.
In the end, before the Aishi side was ready, the Evil God arrived first.
The Evil Gods charged straight towards their first strategic target, the Four Elemental Planes. A few hours later, Eich's army took out a map of the battlefield, and over a hundred black stains were charging towards the Four Elemental Planes.
Stains? This was the result of various powers forcefully interfering with the prophecies and investigations. The unknown locations were directly marked as the Evil Gods' elite squadrons.
Everyone knew that there would definitely be many bait and cannon fodder among the Evil Gods. However, the Ansorenne Empire's information network and investigation system weren't complete yet. Especially since the Four Elemental Planes were all incredibly remote and had terrible environments. The raging elements would be a natural barrier to intelligent life forms from living there.
On this day, the Evil Gods took the lead. They used their million-strong army as expendable resources and forcefully attacked the Four Elemental Planes. They sent out their elites to attack the Four Elemental Planes that were in the process of forming.
Some eyes could already sense the existence of divine beings within the Four Elemental Planes … That's right, divine beings of Order.
The universe's Evil Gods had many different life forms. They didn't represent the existence of Chaos. Only a single world would need to pursue a balance between Order and Chaos. The Evil Gods' subordinates would also be able to bring out high-level Order combat strength from other worlds. In fact, there were even … Order Gods and Elemental Gods.
There were no secrets in modern magical warfare. Or rather, there were no secrets that could be kept for long. In less than half a day, the Evil Gods' strategic goal became a secret that all the Gods knew.
Seize the Elemental Planes, control the Elemental Thrones … and become an Elemental God!
That's right, Elemental Gods. The newly born Ansorenne Empire's Four Elemental Planes were all empty. There was no true Elemental God. The Elemental Lords were probably fighting, evolving, fighting, and fusing with each other. The Aishi People were waiting for an Elemental God to form on its own. Meanwhile, the Evil Gods were preparing to throw in their own Elemental Lords and Elemental Gods to directly seize the Elemental Thrones.
The full-scale war hadn't even begun yet, but the Evil Gods had already used their rich experience in dimensional warfare to give the Aishi People a slap in the face. When it came to dimensional warfare, the Aishi People and Ansorenne were still infants.
The Aishi People should have had a natural advantage in this aspect, but the tables were instantly turned. They were now lagging behind and catching up.
What would happen if the Evil Gods stole the Elemental God's throne? Nobody could be sure. However, the experts, the Gods, and even the Aishi People's Elemental Gods and former Elemental Gods could all give their opinions.
"It'll be terrible."
"Of course. The Four Elemental Planes are inextricably linked to the mortal plane. The Evil Gods will be able to obtain the laws of the mortal plane and reduce the mortal plane's hostility. To put it bluntly, when they enter the mortal plane in the future, they won't be forced to be so weak. "
"Idiots. You haven't seen the most important thing clearly. The mortal plane and the Elemental Planes are the core components of the entire system. The Elemental Gods are the masters of the Elemental Planes. As long as they open their doors to the Evil Gods, they'll be able to allow the Evil Gods' armies to jump from the Elemental Planes to the mortal plane. The dimensional war will begin! "
"… Theoretically, this is possible. We're not ready yet … "
At 2: 40 in the afternoon, the rear received news. This critical piece of information was copied to all the New Ansorenne Gods.
At 3: 12 in the afternoon, Rorschach received news from Titan that the Evil Gods' armies had already begun attacking the Elemental Planes. The leader of the armies was an old acquaintance of his.
At 4: 20 in the afternoon, all the mobile combat forces of the Halet Federation were mobilized. The dimensional war began.
