Some people were happy, while others were disappointed.
The withdrawal of the Germanic Empire's defensive line was originally an excellent opportunity for the Kaiser Empire to expand. However, the Kaiser Empire had some misgivings and did not dare to swallow this fat piece of meat.
What Caesar was worried about was naturally Great Xia, who was eyeing them covetously from the side.
In this war in Europe, Great Xia didn't make a move, but once they made a move, they helped the Azure Emblem destroy the Spanish Dynasty. How could Caesar, who lived next to Great Xia, not be terrified?
Caesar was worried that while he was busy attacking the Germanic Dynasty, the Great Xia army would come from the Mediterranean Sea and raid the backyard of the Caesar Dynasty.
If that really happened, Caesar wouldn't even have a place to cry.
It was precisely because of this that more than half of the Caesar Dynasty's troops stayed behind to guard the European Union during the most intense period of the war. They did not dare to go all out.
The deterrence of Great Xia relieved a lot of pressure on the Germanic Dynasty.
Otherwise, the Azure Badge wouldn't have agreed so easily and given up the Egyptian Dynasty on a silver platter.
In fact, it wasn't just the Caesar Dynasty. The Arab Empire was also wary of the existence of Great Xia. During the entire war in Europe, the Arab Empire didn't intervene at all.
Those who did not know would think that the Arab Empire was a neutral dynasty, not the Silver Hand's camp.
In fact, both the Arab Empire and the Persian Empire were in an awkward situation within the Silver Hand, and they had no right to speak.
That was why the two dynasties weren't so keen on the battlefield in Europe.
Only the people involved knew how cold they were.
…
June 27th, the capital.
After the fall of the Spanish Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo's attention shifted away from the European continent.
A month had passed, and the three armies that the Xia Kingdom had planned to attack India were quietly in place. The relevant resources had also been allocated. All that was left was to wait for the order to begin the war of conquering India.
During this period, there were new changes in the civil war in the Indian District.
The Ashoka Dynasty, with the power of millions of troops, faced with the reinforcements of the Peacock Dynasty and the Gudo Dynasty, still displayed a powerful destructive power, and the front line continued to advance.
As of now, the Ashoka Dynasty had recovered nearly two-thirds of their lost territory.
The Peacock Imperial Court and the Gudo Imperial Court had worked hard for more than half a year, and when they were about to be returned, the Ashoka Imperial Court made a comeback.
India's game of chess was truly a dazzling one.
Under such circumstances, the Great Xia Dynasty began a magnificent history of conquest.
On the first day of the seventh month, the three legions of the Dragon Stallion Army of the Grand Xia's Nanyang war zone brazenly crossed the border of He Tao Province and killed their way into the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, opening the prelude to the battle of Tianzhu.
The four elite legions of the Imperial Guards followed closely behind.
Two elite troops, one in the north and one in the south, fought with the border army of the Peacock Imperial Court according to the established battle target, setting off the first wave of war at the border of the Peacock Imperial Court.
When the news came out, India was in an uproar!
If the previous battle in the Indian District was a tug-of-war between evenly matched opponents, then with the sudden intervention of the Great Xia army, the fragile balance was broken.
…
Peacock Imperial Court, Bangalore City.
Faced with the invasion of Great Xia, the Peacock King was both surprised and not surprised.
In fact, in the fourth month of the sixth year of Gaia, after the Peacock Imperial Court lost the war against the Great Xia Kingdom, they had never let down their guard against the Great Xia for the past three years.
At that time, the total military strength of the Peacock imperial court was around 900,000.
After the defeat of the war, fearing that the Great Xia would counterattack, the Peacock King launched a round of crazy conscription, and the size of the imperial court's army rose sharply.
At one point, the Peacock King was somewhat militaristic!
There was no other way, the shock that the Great Xia brought to the Peacock King was too great.
It was also because of the Peacock King's conscription at all costs that the Peacock Imperial Court's border was at peace for three years.
Coupled with the annexation of a territory in the central region during this period, relying on a rich population reserve, when the Peacock Imperial Court joined forces with the Gudo Imperial Court to attack the Ashoka Imperial Court, the total military strength of the Peacock Imperial Court reached an astonishing 1.7 million.
At the same time, the Gudo Imperial Court had a total military strength of only 1.4 million.
In other words, when the civil war broke out in the Indian District, the entire Indian District had more than six million troops, close to seven million troops. It was still the district with the strongest military strength apart from the Hua Xia district.
At that time, India was something that the Great Xia could not covet.
The one and a half years of civil war was really a veritable meat grinder, bringing a great disaster to the Indian District. In particular, there were several fierce confrontations where both sides suffered heavy losses.
When the Great Xia suddenly declared war, the total military strength of the Peacock Imperial Court reached 850,000, less than the 900,000 before the reinforcement.
Just from this simple set of numbers, it was possible to see the horror of a protracted war.
Of the 850,000 troops of the Peacock Imperial Court, nearly 500,000 were deployed at the front line, supplemented by the new recruits this year, and only then were they able to block the attack of the Ashoka Imperial Court.
The problem was that there was a certain gap in the border defense.
Even so, the 350,000 elite troops were deployed at the border. In the Peacock King's view, he was very confident that he could block the Dragon Stallion Army deployed by the Great Xia.
Unfortunately, outsiders only knew that after the Great Xia's disarmament, the size of an army group was reduced from the previous 350,000 to 250,000, but they did not know the inside story.
How could they know that the overall combat strength of the Great Xia army did not fall, but instead rose.
Up to now, the penetration rate of firearms in the Great Xia army had exceeded 70%, the highest in the world. Strategic weapons such as heavy artillery, fighter planes, and combat puppets had been deployed to the division level.
Just before the matchlock was withdrawn from the game stage, the elite troops of the Great Xia had begun to equip themselves with the latest generation of rifles to replace the flintlock.
How could such a Great Xia army be compared to the past?
Because of the asymmetry of intelligence and the addition of the Dragon Stallion Army, the Peacock Imperial Court was naturally caught unprepared. In the first week of the war, they had lost four border cities.
When the Peacock King received the news, he angrily slapped the table.
In a one-on-one battle, even if the Peacock Imperial Court's army had the geographical advantage, they were still no match for the Great Xia army.
Moreover, heavy artillery had already become the standard equipment of the Great Xia army. The previously solid cities were no longer an insurmountable moat, and with fighter planes, they could even more offset the geographical disparity between the attacking and defending sides.
Moreover, the Great Xia had sent out two trump cards, the Imperial Guard and the Dragon Stallion Army. Even if the Peacock Imperial Court's army was more vigilant, they would not be able to resist the westward advance of the Great Xia army.
For a moment, the Peacock Imperial Court's border was in a state of emergency.
The war was like a dark cloud that shrouded the sky over the Peacock Imperial Court, suffocating everyone.
On one side was the aggressive army of the Ashoka Imperial Court, eager to recover their lost territory; on the other side was their old enemy, the Great Xia army. The Peacock Imperial Court was suddenly caught in an unprecedented crisis.
At this time, the Peacock King had to make a choice.
