As a result, the humans, who had been living in fear all the time, finally began to develop slowly and steadily. The super cities were a symbol of their glorious peak. The defense of a super city was beyond imagination. Just like what Reynolds had seen when he first arrived in Chang 'an, the city walls were hundreds of meters thick and 50 meters high. Plus, there were countless capable people in the city, so it would be difficult to break through. The safety of other cities had also been greatly enhanced. Unlike before, when every city was in danger of being destroyed at any time during the attack of the demonic beasts, everyone lived a life where they could enjoy today and might not live to see tomorrow. After settling down, the humans, who were never satisfied with the status quo, easily developed stronger desires. The initiator of the war, the Kingdom of Babeka, was undoubtedly a model of this.
The Kingdom of Babeka was also a country dominated by humans. However, unlike the humans in the Tang Empire, they lived in the poor northwest. In addition to the harsh climate in the northwest, the species of demonic beasts were much fiercer than those in many places on the continent. The citizens of the Kingdom of Babeka, who had been fighting the demonic beasts for many years, had developed a fierce personality and pride. They believed that they were the best species on the continent, and that the people in the northwest were better than those in the Dong 'an Central. Therefore, they were not satisfied that those who were weaker than them could have a good land and live a happy life. With the birth of fighting energy, the humans in the northwest grew stronger rapidly. To a certain extent, after getting rid of the demonic beasts, they began to grow arrogant. From envy to jealousy, they could not stand it anymore. Naturally, the war broke out.
Different from the war on Earth, the army of the Kingdom of Babeka was divided into numerous small groups. They invaded from different places at the same time, infiltrating like a tide, instead of concentrating their forces to break through. The strategy they adopted immediately reminded people of the disappearance of the leaders of the combat groups not long ago.
This war had been premeditated since the last attack of the demonic beasts. It was based on a plan called "massacre." The Tang Empire was the most powerful country in the southeast and the central region. It was the only barrier to invading the rich southeast of the continent. The massacre plan implied that they wanted to overthrow the Tang Empire and even the entire southeast.
The focus of the massacre plan was to bury a large number of Men of Sacrifice in the southeast and central countries. These Men of Sacrifice were almost all the most powerful experts in the northwest. They were at least at the Supreme Power Realm. Their task was to assassinate as many leaders of the southeast and central countries as possible, especially those in the powerful countries. For example, the people who had met Leah a few days ago had used Townsend's name to assassinate people whom the higher-ups thought might be a threat to the country. Obviously, they knew Leah's true face, but they were killed instead.
The people of the Kings' Mainland were not idiots. They were very clear about the importance of a leader in a war. For example, a clear-headed mercenary group leader would be able to make the correct strategy in an evenly matched battle, allowing his group members to suffer no losses or reduce the losses to the minimum. If a hot-tempered fellow was in command, it was very likely that the entire army would be wiped out. Victory or defeat could be decided with a single thought.
In most direct confrontations, even if they launched a surprise attack, it would not be easy to destroy the Tang Empire, which had many talents and was stronger due to its large population. The success rate was not high. Thus, the Kingdom of Babeka's strategy was to eliminate the majority of Devir's leaders and then launch a net-like assault from all directions. This way, every army would require at least one competent leader to command. The Great Tang, which had suffered grievous losses in the Massacre Plan, would not have enough people to use and would be forced into a very passive situation. Although there were many experts in Devill, experts were different from talented generals. A person who knew how to strategize was not so easy to cultivate.
The men of sacrifice who carried out the assassination were all experts of various countries. They had enough status and never lacked money. What they lacked was the supreme honor that could be recorded in the country's history books. Therefore, they were more loyal than people who had been trained in the spirit of bushido. They would never betray the country. Therefore, the secret of the massacre plan had never been leaked because of betrayal. Many people died in private fights on the continent every year. The relatives and friends of the victims would at most think that they had accidentally offended some experts. In addition, no one would have thought that humans would kill their own compatriots. This plan, which was not perfect, actually succeeded perfectly under various conditions unique to the continent.
Even Renault, who came from Earth and was familiar with the scheming and scheming of the country's history, was amazed by the invasion strategy of the Kingdom of Babeka. It was indeed bold and insidious, and targeted. The Tang Empire, which bore the brunt of the attack, immediately fell into chaos. An emergency order was hastily issued, and the mercenaries and fighters in the cities were mobilized in batches to resist the invasion. The armies of the Kingdom of Babeka had already destroyed the cities on the border and continued to advance to the central area. The situation of the other countries in the southeast was not optimistic either. Now they understood why the northwest countries had trained so many large-scale mercenary groups in recent years. They had thought that it was to use them to attack the cities with demonic beasts, but now they knew that it was purely to prepare for this war. As soon as the war started, the mercenary groups immediately evolved into well-disciplined troops.
According to the accounts of people who had luckily escaped from some of the cities, wherever the Kingdom of Babeka's army went, they burned, killed, robbed, kidnapped women, and forced young and middle-aged people to become slaves. There was nothing they would not do, which shocked and terrified people. At this time, people realized that the battle between the same species was much more terrifying than the battle with the most ferocious demonic beasts.
When Renault saw this, he realized that the continent was actually not very peaceful. Or rather, the peaceful days had passed. Therefore, Renault was already thinking about leaving with Eirinn to travel the continent and find out the truth of the world.
In this time of crisis, many students of the same level as Renault had been summoned to the battlefield. Renault had less and less contact with them, and sometimes he could not even contact them.
While he was at a loss of what to do, Renault was summoned back by Dean Randolph himself.
When Renault walked into the dean's office, Randolph said seriously, "Renault, according to the guild's decision, you have been appointed as the commander of the 376th regiment of the national army. Go home and pack up immediately. After that, prepare to go to the designated battleground with the other selected students — Will City!"
"What?!"
Renault was shocked. He quickly asked, "What does this mean, Dean?"
Randolph looked at Renault and sighed. "I understand how you feel, but I just received the guild's notice. Renault, you should know that this is a critical time for the country. All citizens have to obey orders and orders unconditionally, including everyone in the Academy! Other than a challenge, this is also a good opportunity for you to become stronger! "
