Of course, the Silver Hand did not get nothing.
Be it the fall of the Atlantic Fleet or the loss of the Moroca Province, they were both great losses for the Great Xia.
Although the Base City was still there, Great Xia's influence in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea had been suppressed to the lowest point in history, and they couldn't leave the port of Gibraltar.
From this point of view, the original intention of the Silver Hands' strategy had basically been achieved, and through this battle, the Silver Hands had also proved their strong position in the world.
As powerful as Great Xia was, it was impossible for them to face them head-on.
Even so, the Silver Hand could not be happy, because the four wars that the Great Xia Dynasty had suddenly launched were likely to change the global situation. In comparison, the battle of Morocco was nothing.
The Dawson Dynasty. The Free City.
Number One looked a little embarrassed. He had previously mocked Ouyang Shuo for being too young and impatient. Who would have thought that Great Xia would actually make a feint and put on a show to deceive the Silver Hand?
"Heh, you really can't look down on youngsters." Although Number One was embarrassed, he wasn't too worried.
Among the four countries that Great Xia attacked this time, Africa's Ethiopia neither belonged to the Silver Hand's camp nor was it a member of the Azure Emblem. Johor and Pyo were both members of the Azure Emblem. Only Java was considered a member of the Silver Hand.
From the looks of it, Great Xia had no plans to completely destroy Java.
In other words, if the Great Xia succeeded this time, it would be the Azure Emblem that suffered heavy losses, not the Silver Hand. Naturally, Number One was happy to see this happen.
Therefore, when the Piao Kingdom asked for help from the Peacock Imperial Court, Number One did not force the Peacock Imperial Court to send reinforcements. Whether to send troops or not was entirely up to the Peacock King Delawa.
"Now, let's just watch the show in peace!"
Neither the Dawson Dynasty nor the Gangdor Dynasty would be able to intervene in the Asian war.
While preparing to watch the show, Number One was a little envious of Number Two's good luck.
Looking at the situation, Great Xia had placed all their bets on the overseas battlefield. The defense on the mainland would definitely be weak. As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty did not make a mistake and attacked decisively, they would definitely be able to reap great rewards.
It was not impossible to launch a counterattack against Great Xia.
"Heh, he really got off easy!" Number One shook his head helplessly and stopped thinking about it.
…
Great Zhou Dynasty, Handan City.
"Is the old fox crazy?"
When Di Chen found out that the Great Xia was going to start four Kingdom Wars at the same time, his first reaction was disbelief.
But he had to believe it.
Xiong Ba and Lord Chunshen had already confirmed that the Brave Tiger Army and the Hidden Leopard Army of Great Xia had indeed been transferred away, leaving the border defenceless. To Di Chen, this was definitely a huge temptation.
Should he carry out the previous plan and send his troops to the Northern Borderline Province, or should he lead his troops south and directly attack the hinterland of Great Xia?
"South!"
Di Chen did not hesitate. Such a good opportunity could only come once.
On the 25th day of the third month, the Great Zhou Dynasty's Scarlet Yang Army, Red Blood Army, and Conqueror Army received orders to head south and attack Great Xia's Jiangchuan Province, initiating a civil war in the Huaxia Region.
As soon as the news came out, the Huaxia players were in an uproar.
"Great Xia is expanding their territory, but Great Zhou is stabbing them in the back. Their intentions are unforgivable!"
"Traitor! Traitor!"
"Shameless bastard, get out of the Huaxia region!"
For a moment, the sky was filled with curses and insults towards the Great Zhou Dynasty. The crowd was agitated.
Even the players who had chosen to settle in the Great Zhou Dynasty were ashamed. They had to obey the guild's decision, but they couldn't bear such humiliation.
The real world was already very difficult to endure, but who would have thought that they would have to suffer even more in the game world.
"I've had enough of these suffocating days!"
Some players were indignant and brazenly left the guild, preparing to settle in Great Xia. They didn't believe that the Great Zhou Dynasty, who only dared to stab others in the back, could win against the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of course, most people's blood was cold.
In the wilderness, the winner takes all. Before the situation of the war was clear, most of the players who settled in the Great Zhou Dynasty chose to watch from the sidelines.
Some even thought, "If the Great Zhou Dynasty really succeeds in their sneak attack, we will also benefit from it."
Talking about loyalty to the players was like playing the lute to a cow.
Handan City, the palace.
Faced with the overwhelming criticism from the outside world, Di Chen was expressionless and calm. He had already decided to endure all of this. "Whatever path you choose, you have to bear the hardships."
Peerless Elegance's eyes were gloomy.
"At this stage, the man in front of me might also feel indignant." No one was born sinister, and no one was born a villain. If there was a chance to be a hero, who would choose to be the villain?!
The world was like a game of chess, and everyone was a pawn.
…
Shanhai City, Xia Palace.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's declaration of war wasn't out of Ouyang Shuo's expectations.
Ouyang Shuo was just trying to figure out how the Azure Emblem's hidden pawn in the [Yan Huang Alliance] would feel after the two major organisations were exposed.
He couldn't return home.
Once the War Wolf's identity was exposed, the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely be in chaos.
To Ouyang Shuo, this was a trump card that could give the Great Zhou Dynasty a fatal blow at a critical moment. Back then, the War Wolf was ordered by the former Federation President to come clean with Ouyang Shuo. He probably didn't expect this day to come.
Although it was an unintentional move, it was still the biggest help that the Academies had given to Great Xia.
The Great Zhou Army attacked the Jiang Chuan Province. Ouyang Shuo wasn't in a hurry to use the [War Exemption Card]. He finally had a chance to make the Great Zhou Dynasty a scapegoat, how could he let it go?
As for the losses in the Jiang Chuan Province, it was nothing in comparison.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo didn't wait long.
On the 26th, the second day after the Great Zhou Army attacked the Jiang Chuan Province, Ouyang Shuo decisively used the card.
A ray of golden light shot into the sky, as if the territory had been upgraded. It turned into a halo in the sky and spread towards the Great Xia's border, quickly sweeping across the Jiang Chuan Province.
The marching Great Zhou Army seemed to be frozen in place and couldn't move forward.
At the same time, Di Chen, who was in Handan City, heard a system notification.
"System notification: The Great Xia has used the [War Exemption Card]. Within a month, the surrounding territories of the Great Xia are not allowed to declare war on the Great Xia. Please withdraw immediately, or bear the consequences."
"…"
Di Chen was so shocked that his mouth could fit an egg.
"There's such a thing?!"
Di Chen wasn't a fool. He immediately realized that he had fallen into the old fox's trap. The reason why the Great Xia dared to move the Brave Tiger Army and the Hidden Leopard Army away was because they had nothing to fear. At the same time, they had dug a big hole for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Yet, Di Chen jumped into it without hesitation.
Now, he went for wool and came home shorn. Before he could do anything to the Great Xia, he was rebuffed and scolded by the players. He didn't gain anything and could only obediently withdraw.
"As for ignoring Gaia's warning and continuing to advance?"
Di Chen didn't have the guts to challenge Gaia's authority. Even if he wanted to do so, the Great Zhou Army couldn't advance and could only obediently withdraw.
This was the difference between the game world and reality.
Sometimes, an inconspicuous item could change the direction of a war.
"What a good plan!"
Di Chen gritted his teeth, his nails digging into his flesh.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had initiated a civil war in the Huaxia region but ended up with nothing. They had lost this "golden opportunity". Di Chen didn't know if the Great Zhou Dynasty would be able to withstand the attack of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.
The huge dynasty was suddenly in a state of turmoil.
…
Di Chen's worries were quickly proven.
Seeing the Great Zhou Army leave in high spirits and return in low spirits, the first to lose their cool were the adventurers who had settled in the Great Zhou Dynasty. They felt that the ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unstable.
"If we stay here any longer, the ship will sink!"
The first to retreat were the small and medium-sized guilds that had nothing to worry about. They hurriedly fled to the Great Xia.
However, things weren't that simple.
Once the players settled in the territory, they couldn't leave as they wished. Before the war, it was fine if a few players left. The Great Zhou Imperial Court didn't mind.
But now that the guilds had all left, that wouldn't do!
"If you settle in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you are a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you dare to flee to the Great Xia, you will be committing treason!" Di Chen said.
Di Chen was ready to go all out and lay his cards on the table with the players.
If the players were allowed to leave, there would be a wave of refugees. At that time, even the Unhindered Sword Aura, the Eighteen Steeds of Swallow and Cloud, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards wouldn't be able to control the emotions of their members. They might even be forced to leave the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If that happened, the Great Zhou Dynasty would really be cut off.
Without the adventurers' help, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be exhausted just by dealing with the monster nests in the territory.
Once Di Chen was tough, the players were terrified.
Facing the army of a territory, the adventurers didn't have any advantage. Since the Imperial Court wouldn't let them go, they could only hide in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, they were secretly dissatisfied.
When Ouyang Shuo heard the news, he couldn't help but applaud Di Chen's decisiveness.
However, he couldn't suppress them by force. Ouyang Shuo immediately instructed the Mountain Ocean Guards to use the spies scattered in the Great Zhou Dynasty to secretly contact these guilds.
Maybe they would be useful in the future.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo didn't have much hope. These players were fence-sitters. They were different from the players who settled in the Great Xia Dynasty.
If they really came, it was hard to say whether the Great Xia Dynasty would accept them.
…
Due to the existence of the [War Exemption Card], the civil war in the Huaxia Region ended hastily and anticlimactic, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
After stabilizing the situation in the Great Xia Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo turned his attention to the fierce battle overseas.
What kind of results would the Great Xia Dynasty achieve if they fought one against four? Whether the other forces would intervene or not was still unknown. They had to be careful.
