In the blink of an eye, it was March 10th.
During this period, the transfer of Morocco was carried out in an orderly manner. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Silver Hand, the whole process was carried out relatively slowly.
On this day, the vanguard of the Silver Hand coalition army arrived at the border of Algeria.
The border between Morocco and Algeria was half plateau and half mountain range, making the road difficult to traverse. When Lu Bu was ordered to hunt down the king of Morocco, he got lost in the forest.
As the initiator of the attack, the coalition army was destined to endure the hardships of traversing the forest.
On the contrary, the West African army, especially the first and second corps of the West African army that had been reorganized from the original Morocco regiment, were very familiar with this place and had already set up defenses at the border.
The first confrontation between the two sides took place on March 13th.
On the next day, the vanguard of the coalition army would walk out of the forest and officially set foot on the territory of Great Xia. At this time, the West African army took advantage of the geographical advantage and set up an ambush in the forest, giving the coalition army a head-on blow.
The 100,000 vanguard troops were scattered in the vast forest, but the West African army was like a ghost, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy.
If the main force of the coalition army hadn't arrived in time to reinforce them, the 100,000 soldiers would have been in danger.
Even so, more than 30,000 of the 100,000 soldiers were killed in battle, teaching the coalition army a bloody lesson and telling the world that the invincible vanguard of the Great Xia army couldn't be provoked.
However, when the main force of the coalition army arrived, the West African army suddenly "cowered" and obediently withdrew.
The following week, the coalition army won successive battles and broke through the cities of Morocco. The West African army fought and retreated all the way to Rabat City.
Even so, the coalition army didn't dare to take it lightly.
There was a transmission array in Rabat City, and Great Xia could send reinforcements at any time. Various signs showed that Great Xia wanted to rely on Rabat City to fight a defensive war with the coalition army.
Since this was the case, the coalition army didn't hesitate and went straight to Rabat City.
On March 21st, the battle of Rabat City officially began, and the vast coalition army surrounded the city.
Just as the coalition army expected, the Great Xia soldiers defended very tenaciously, and they seemed to be fearless of death. This caused the siege to fall into a stalemate.
At this moment, the well-prepared Great Xia army finally revealed its fangs.
…
March 22nd, Piao Nation.
To the southwest of Piao was the Andaman Sea, to the northwest was India, to the northeast was Huaxia, to the southeast was Siam, and to the southeast was Naypyidaw.
Speaking of which, the Piao Kingdom was also an ancient civilization with a long history. It had gone through four feudal dynasties: Bagan, Bogu, Dongxu, and Gongpang. During the Bogu Dynasty, it had even pledged allegiance to China.
The Piao Kingdom had a total of 4.5 million players, and after the 6th system update, the Royal Guards were reduced from the original 450,000 to 225,000.
During this period of time, Lord Mo Angyin of the Piao Kingdom was very depressed. As a member of the Azure Badge, he was unable to resist the organization's arrangements and was forced to stand at the forefront of the war against the Xia Kingdom.
Mo Angyin shuddered at the thought of this giant neighbor.
No matter who won in the future between the organization and the Da Xia Dynasty, the Piao Kingdom that was stuck in the middle was just a chess piece. Mo Angyin could not see any glorious future.
The lesson of the Australian feudal lord, Ávila, was still fresh in his mind.
However, as a member of the organization, Mo Angyin could not resist. The two were too deeply entangled. As long as the organization wanted to, he, Mo Angyin, would immediately lose his standing and reputation.
The reason why chess pieces were chess pieces was because of this.
Just as Mo Angyin was lost in his thoughts, a system announcement suddenly sounded in his ears.
"System Announcement: The Lord of the Hua Xia region, Ouyang Shuo, has initiated a country war. The Piao Kingdom has entered country war mode and entered level two state of alert. Please check the specific situation yourself!"
… …
"System Announcement: The Piao Kingdom has entered country war mode. According to the rules of the country war, during the period of country war, the Imperial City's teleportation array will automatically be cut off from the territory's teleportation array. Players will not be able to reincarnate immediately if they die. Please inform all players!"
… …
"How could this be?!" Mo Angyin's face turned pale. According to the information given by the organization, the Da Xia Kingdom should be focusing on the war in Morocco. Why did they suddenly attack the Piao Kingdom?
Thinking of the Da Xia Kingdom's usual style, Mo Angyin suddenly understood something.
"Luring the tiger away from the mountain, or is it a diversion?"
Mo Angyin no longer had the mood to guess. With the nature of the Da Xia Kingdom, since they initiated the war, then it would be a battle to the death. With the weak strength of the Piao Kingdom, how could they resist?!
"In the end, they still have to become the organization's sacrifice!" Mo Angyin was suddenly filled with resentment.
But this resentment, there was nowhere to vent.
Right now, the only thing that could save the Piao Kingdom was the neighboring Peacock Dynasty.
At eight o 'clock in the morning on the 22nd, the Great Xia Kingdom's southwest war zone commander and the Dragon Stallion Army commander, Bai Qi, led the Dragon Stallion Army and the Hanoi Army, a total of 650,000 soldiers, brazenly crossed the Piao Kingdom's border and initiated the country war.
The Da Xia army's banner was "Punitive Expedition against the Rebels."
Previously, the Piao Kingdom had sent a diplomatic mission to express their willingness to submit to the Da Xia Kingdom, but they changed their mind at the last minute. To the Da Xia Kingdom, the Piao Kingdom's action was considered a betrayal. Punitive expedition against the rebels was naturally justified.
… …
On the same day, in Johor.
Johor was divided into two parts by the South Sea. One was the Johor Peninsula that bordered Siam, and the other was the northern part of Kalimantan Island that bordered Java.
The Imperial City of Bu was located on the Johor Peninsula.
Compared to the Piao Kingdom, Johor only had 2.5 million players, and Bu was only garrisoned by 125,000 imperial guards.
Almost at the same time as the war between the Piao Kingdom began, Johor was suddenly engulfed in the flames of war and was destined to be submerged by the Da Xia army.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, the Brave Tiger Army, who had long been lurking in Xing Zhou County, quietly crossed the narrow Strait of Johor under the leadership of Commander Sun Bin. They attacked the Johor Peninsula and went straight for Bu.
At around nine o 'clock, the Leopard Army, under the cover of the Cliff Mountain Fleet and the Luzon Army, attacked Kalimantan Island under the unified command of Han Xin.
Kalimantan Island was the third largest island in the world. Its area was comparable to Qinghai Province. The northern part was owned by Johor, while the southern part was owned by Java.
Han Xin led his troops to attack Kalimantan Island. This meant that Da Xia not only had to deal with the two "traitors" of Johor and Piao Kingdom, but they also had to officially declare war on Java.
Such an imposing manner was truly terrifying.
The moment the system announcement sounded, Johor Lord Shan Da's mood was probably no different from Piao Lord Mo Angyin's. Other than bitterness, there was only bitterness.
… …
Back to Java.
Java consisted of about 17508 islands and was the largest archipelago country in the world. The largest islands were Kalimantan Island, Sumatra Island, Irian Island, Sulawesi Island, and Java Island.
Although Da Xia was attacking three countries at the same time, they did not lose their rationality.
Java was not so easy to conquer. This declaration of war on Java was mainly to adopt a policy of encroachment and further reduce Java's space of activity so that it could not stir up trouble in Southeast Asia.
Among the five big islands, Java Island, where Coconut City was located, and Sumatra Island, where Padang City was located, were not within the scope of this attack. The remaining three big islands were not so lucky.
Han Xin was in charge of attacking Kalimantan Island. The Southern Border Army was in charge of attacking Irian Island, which was adjacent to the Australian Province. As for Sulawesi Island, it would depend on the subsequent battle situation before deciding whether to start a war.
If they could successfully take down the three big islands, it would be enough to hurt Java without shaking its foundation. It would not challenge Java's bottom line.
If Java really wanted to fight to the death, it would be a little troublesome.
… …
In a day, Da Xia launched three consecutive wars.
In addition to mobilizing the million troops in the southwest war zone, Da Xia also conscripted the Leopard Army and the Brave Tiger Army. They completely gave up the inland western and northern border defense and were ready to go all out.
In Ouyang Shuo's words, "If we want to play, let's play it big."
With the power of the [War Exemption Card], Ouyang Shuo was ready to sweep through the Southeast Asia region in one fell swoop, completely driving the Silver Hands and the Azure Emblem out of the region, establishing a stable rear and expanding strategic depth.
This move seemed risky, but it was actually very stable.
Java, Johor, and Piao had already formed a temporary united front. Now that they were attacked at the same time, they could not support each other at all and could only pray for their own luck.
In other words, there was basically no difference whether they fought or not.
In that case, instead of passively defending, it was better to take the initiative to attack and completely display the invincible momentum of Da Xia. This would make the Silver Hands realize that compared to the Azure Emblem, the Great Xia Dynasty was not a pushover.
And this was far from all of Da Xia's actions.
Zhang Liang had reminded them that Somaliland Province could repeat the mistakes of Morocco Province at any time. Therefore, they had to take down another country in Africa and connect it with Somaliland Province.
With the help of two major provinces, Da Xia was not afraid of any challenges.
It had to be said that one of the reasons why Morocco Province was in an awkward situation today was that it and Somaliland Province were separated by tens of thousands of miles and were not connected.
Otherwise, it was not impossible for Da Xia to fight with the Silver Hands on the battlefield in Africa.
Therefore, when the three wars in Southeast Asia started, Da Xia set off the flames of war on the African continent, and the vanguard was directed at Ethiopia, which bordered Somaliland Province.
Ethiopia had a history of 3,000 years of civilization. It was established in the 8th century BC as the Nubian Kingdom. At present, it had 10 million players and 500,000 imperial guards in Addis Ababa.
Compared to the Southeast Asia region, Ethiopia was larger than Johor and Piao combined.
Because of this, in order to take down Ethiopia, Da Xia mobilized the imperial guards, city guards, and the East African Army, a total of more than a million troops. In addition, the West African Army would also support Morocco Province after withdrawing from there.
It could be said that the battle of Ethiopia was the most crucial battle in this war for Da Xia.
If it was just a battle with Ethiopia, the Great Xia army still had a good chance of winning, but they were worried that the neighboring Arab Empire would not be willing to be left out and join in, complicating the war.
The [War Exemption Card] was only valid for a month, which meant that it was best for Da Xia to resolve the four wars within a month.
Otherwise, there would be endless troubles.
It was also based on this one month's judgment that the Great Xia army had been holding back for the first half of the month, as they wanted to make more adequate preparations.
It was fine if they didn't move, but once they did, it would be shocking.
…
Great Xia's long-planned "sudden action" shocked the world once again.
Just when the players around the world thought that Da Xia was going to fight with the Silver Hands in Morocco Province, the Great Xia Dynasty actually made a feint and launched four consecutive wars.
This also meant that Da Xia had no intention of protecting Morocco Province at all.
This was the truth. As soon as the war ended on the 22nd, Mulan Yue led the last batch of officials to evacuate and teleport back to Shanhai City to wait for the court's next arrangements.
The West African Army left the Third and Fourth Legions to guard the Base Cities. The remaining three legions immediately teleported to Somaliland Province and turned around to join the Ethiopian battlefield.
On the 23rd of March, the allied forces "successfully" captured Morocco Province.
Unfortunately, on the way to Rabat City, the former King of Morocco "unfortunately" encountered an attack by the remnants of the Great Xia army. He died and ultimately didn't complete the magnificent feat of restoring his country.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell who the so-called "remnants of the Great Xia army" were.
The Silver Hands weren't selfless Lei Feng. How could they "painstakingly" conquer Morocco Province to an NPC? From the very beginning, the restoration of the former King of Morocco was destined to be a tragedy.
After the war, regarding the ownership of Morocco Province, the Silver Hands showed great restraint, and there wasn't an ugly situation of a pack of wolves fighting for food.
The organization naturally had its ways of surviving for hundreds of years.
Before the war, the Silver Hands had already decided on the disposal plan for Morocco Province. In short, the province would be handed over to Spain, and 70% of the taxes collected would be handed over to the organization.
In order for the Silver Hands to operate globally, they needed massive financial support. Previously, the expenses were mainly from core members, but now that there was "public territory," it was naturally different.
The remaining 30% of taxes was Spain's labor fee. Including daily administrative expenses, it wasn't considered a fat piece of meat. In particular, when the coalition forces invaded Rabat City and saw the empty treasury, they had a headache.
In just half a month, the essence of Morocco Province had been evacuated, leaving only an empty shelf for the Silver Hands.
Under Mulan Yue's administration, the Chinese culture had already taken root in Morocco Province. Now that it was suddenly ruled by the Spanish, it was certain that they wouldn't be able to adapt.
If Spain wanted to put Morocco Province on the right track, it would probably take some effort.
What made the Spanish Lord Casillas feel like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat was the existence of the Base City. After taking over Morocco Province, the coalition forces also tried to capture the Base City.
In the end, the coalition forces only fought for one morning before completely giving up on taking the Base City.
Not to mention the chaos of the magic-powered submarines and the exaggerated performance of the combat marionettes, just the 3,000 cannons deployed on the coast made the coalition forces' scalp numb.
After a round of firing, no warship dared to approach.
"How is this a city? It's simply a super artillery battery." No matter how fierce the coalition forces were, they didn't dare to be so headstrong and brave such artillery fire to launch an attack.
That kind of battle damage wasn't something the coalition forces could afford.
Such an outcome not only made Casillas uncomfortable, but it also made the Silver Hands' higher-ups dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, they didn't seem to get any substantial benefits after mobilizing so many people.
"Great Xia is still maintaining its presence in the Mediterranean Sea. After spending so much effort, it only got a piece of land in Africa?"
