Ashoka was dead, and he died without a sound.
As the only NPC emperor in the world, Ashoka enjoyed unparalleled authority in the Ashoka Dynasty. He could decide the life and death of people with a single word. He was the soul of the Ashoka Dynasty.
Because of this, Ashoka's sudden "death" was a devastating blow to the Ashoka Dynasty.
The morale that had just been boosted instantly fell to the freezing point.
The troops didn't know if they should launch a counterattack against the invasion of Great Xia according to the predetermined plan or escort the king's body to the capital to select a new successor of the dynasty.
On the other side, Great Xia's attack was getting fiercer.
At this time, if the Peacock King was still in India, he might be able to "rise up" and raise the flag of the Peacock Dynasty again. However, the moment the Peacock Dynasty was destroyed, the Peacock King was listed as a key target by Ashoka and sent to the Reincarnation Temple.
The Peacock King had no choice but to join another country.
In addition, the King of Mando had long since defected to the Germanic Dynasty. At this time, the Indian region could be described as a group of dragons without a leader. In the face of the attack of Great Xia, defeat was only a matter of time.
…
October 18th, Jingshi.
After using the Imperial Death Talisman to kill Ashoka, Ouyang Shuo didn't pay much attention to the situation in India. Under such circumstances, if the Great Xia army still couldn't occupy the entire territory of India, it would be a real failure.
Part of Ouyang Shuo's mind was used to deal with the aftermath of the battle of Maya.
After the establishment of the Caribbean Province, the American Theater of Operations adjusted the defense areas of the three major armies to adapt to the new situation.
The North American Army, which was previously stationed in the Columbia Province, was now stationed in the newly established Caribbean Province as the main border defense force against the Dawson Dynasty.
With the end of the battle of Maya, the Dawson Dynasty entered a short period of dormancy.
In order to destroy the Maple Leaf Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty spent nearly a year. In order to deal with the Maya Dynasty, the Dawson Dynasty spent nearly a year.
The continuous war for two years was also a huge drain on the Dawson Dynasty. Whether it was the people or the material resources, they were on the brink of being stirred up and urgently needed to recuperate.
In addition, they had to appease the occupied areas. Therefore, although the global situation was changing and it was a great opportunity for heroes to rise up and make achievements, Jack didn't let victory get to his head. he stopped very rationally and focused on managing the internal affairs.
Jack knew very well that only by managing North America well could they talk about other things.
What's more, Gaia had announced three bases, and if there were no surprises, one of them would be the Dawson Dynasty. Naturally, Jack was no longer as anxious as before.
After all, stability trumps everything else.
Of course, recuperating didn't mean that he didn't do anything.
Similar to what the Grand Xia had done in the past, the Dawson Dynasty didn't forget about its overseas territories while strengthening its internal affairs.
The Dawson Dynasty's only overseas territory was naturally the Central African region.
Previously, Jack had been busy with the Mayan battle and had not had the energy to care about the African continent. Now that the Mayan conflict had been resolved, Jack naturally could not tolerate the Banto Dynasty's arrogance.
There would probably be a good show in the upcoming war in Africa.
Generally speaking, the retreat of the Dawson Dynasty was also a great opportunity for the North American Army to establish a line of defense and border fortifications in the Caribbean Province.
The South American Army was still stationed in the Amazon Province, Brasilia Province, and Uruguay Province. As for the Brave Tiger Army, they were transferred from Brasilia Province to Colombia Province.
It had been more than a year since the Brasilia Dynasty had submitted. The three South American provinces had already stabilized, and the internal conflicts had gradually been eliminated. There were no more major hidden dangers.
As such, there was no need for the Brave Tiger Army to be a deterrent in Brasilia Province.
As for the threat of the Indian Empire, it was basically non-existent. Although the Indian Empire was no longer an ally of the Grand Xia, Juarez knew very well that there would not be a good outcome if they went against the Grand Xia.
The current stability of South America was the greatest benefit of the Indian Empire.
In addition, it was very difficult for the Indian Empire to obtain a spot in the forward operating base of Planet Hope. In the future, Juarez would have to rely on the Grand Xia for the affairs of Planet Hope, so he would not be presumptuous.
Of course, he still had to take precautions.
Ouyang Shuo did not wish for the American Protectorate that he had painstakingly established to fail miserably.
The transfer of the Brave Tiger Army to Colombia Province was tantamount to playing the role of a connecting link. They could go north to support the Caribbean Province, and they could also go south to support the three South American provinces.
The situation in the American War Zone was thus settled.
Apart from the adjustments to the American War Zone, there was also the handling of the mercenaries.
After two major battles, the mercenary army that was initially formed had a total of nine corps. Now, there were only six corps left, which amounted to a total of 300,000 soldiers.
After the tempering of the two battles, the surviving mercenaries were already true elites, and their combat strength was not much different from the Grand Xia regular army.
In view of the outstanding achievements of the mercenaries in the American War Zone, Ouyang Shuo decided to secretly give them the designation of the specter army. Due to the flexible characteristics of the mercenaries, Ouyang Shuo even allowed the specter army to have special privileges in the entire army. There was no limit on the number of corps, and they could be adjusted according to the actual situation.
This was also a reward for the mercenaries. From now on, they would be secretly registered as the regular army of the Empire, and they were essentially no different from other army groups.
In order to better control this army group, Ouyang Shuo ordered to secretly promote the former commander of the Royal Forest Guards, Ceng Guoquan, to the position of the commander of the specter army.
Ceng Guoquan was the ninth younger brother of Ceng Guofan. He graduated from a private school in Xiang Village and was one of the main generals of the Xiang Army. Because he was good at digging trenches to besiege cities, he was given the title of 'Iron Bucket Ceng'.
With Ceng Guoquan around, Ouyang Shuo could truly be at ease with the specter army.
The commander position left behind by Ceng Guoquan was taken over by the commander of the Royal Forest Guards' 5th Corps, Lin Jing. The deputy commander of the 1st Corps, Bright Moon Illuminates the River, was promoted to the commander of the 5th Corps.
As such, the internal structure of the Royal Forest Guards was also reshuffled. Lin Jing's' invisible promotion 'was an obvious signal. Ouyang Shuo had to firmly grasp this special army in his hands.
As the situation in the American War Zone stabilized, it was no longer appropriate to leave the specter army in the American Protectorate.
After a proposal from the Privy Council, the imperial court decided to secretly transfer the specter army to the African War Zone to carry out a secret military operation codenamed 'Steel Forging'.
This operation was related to the empire's layout in Europe, and it was clear how much importance the imperial court placed on the specter army.
The atmosphere in the European battlefield was very strange, and Ouyang Shuo couldn't make up his mind at the moment. Therefore, he ordered the specter army to act according to the situation after arriving in Africa.
…
On the 20th of October, Gaia suddenly revealed a piece of news on the official website. It made all the players around the world fall into a dead silence. Even Ouyang Shuo's expression changed drastically.
