Facing a swamp army with natural disaster-level combat power like a giant hydra, even the strongest fortress is actually no better than an ordinary small village.
The reason why the Mangrove Fortress has been able to survive until now is because there are four legendary strong men and a demigod sitting in it.
Putting aside the four legendary powerhouses for the moment, that demigod is a real strategic-level force. Even with thousands of troops, there is no chance of winning against him.
However, there are also strong demigods among the swamp army.
For a long time, the main reason why the various races in the swamp have been able to resist the invasion of humans has been the strong demigods who have lingered in the human world and refused to leave.
Some of them have become the ancestral totems of the tribe, some have reproduced countless descendants, and some of them have been cultivating all day long and never show their faces in front of others.
However, for the future of the race, under the call and invitation of the swamp gods, and the pleading and call of the swamp tribes, they set foot on the battlefield one after another.
At this moment, among the swamp army surrounding the Mangrove Fortress, there were two powerful demigods.
Two against one, the swamp has a considerable advantage. But even so, they were not sure that they could keep the powerful human demigod behind.
The opponent may not be able to defeat them, but at least they have the ability to break out and escape.
In other words... if the other party refuses to escape and insists on fighting to the end, the battle between them may affect all the living creatures here, leaving them all dead without a burial place.
This is of course something that the demigods on both sides don't want to see.
So the battle reached a stalemate and formed a long-term siege.
However, the Mangrove Fortress can hold up, but other fortresses cannot.
By the time the urgently mobilized army from the Thunder Principality arrived, only the last three strongholds that had been developed for a long time were left. Among them, the Mangrove Fortress is also included.
Of course, the Thunder Principality's army immediately launched an attack on the various tribes in the swamp, and the two sides fought a fierce battle, resulting in widespread casualties.
Then, just like the Great Wall defense line in the northeast of the mainland, they each built their own positions and launched a long-term confrontation.
As a result, the Thunder Principality certainly does not have the power to support the Great Wall defense line - in fact, they themselves still need support.
If it weren't for the support from the Mystic Tower Federation, they wouldn't even be able to defend their own defenses.
At this time, the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Thousand Springs finally crossed the high mountains with difficulty, and after losing more than 20% of their troops, they arrived at the northern fortress group of the Eagle Kingdom.
They finally arrived at the right time. If they were even two or three days later, they would have been able to look at all the fortresses that had fallen and sigh with regret, while collecting the body of King Igor.
With their support, the Eagle Kingdom managed to hold on to its last and strongest fortress, and the war was still manageable.
On the other side, the Gold Coin Federation has never been able to break through the Swamp Legion's obstruction. Even though they had increased their troops three times, they were helpless in the face of the coalition forces of various races in the swamp who also continued to increase their troops and blocked the way.
The terrain of the swamp is really not suitable for human combat. Starting a war in a place like this would have great advantages for the various races in the swamp.
What's even worse is that the swamp coalition also received support from the barbarian races in the Graystone Mountains.
The wild race is essentially a group of half-orcs. In this war that determines the rise and fall of each race, of course they side with the orcs.
In fact, the wild gods have already participated in this war under the leadership of their main god "Iron Lion" Morani. Although their relationship with the orc gods has become estranged, they are still the gods of the half-orcs. Faced with this war for the survival space of the species, they cannot choose neutrality like their allies, the void gods.
For this reason, Morani apologized to Sui Xiong, and Sui Xiong accepted his apology.
It’s true that we are all friends, but friends also have their own positions, and they cannot force others to do anything.
All Morani can do is to restrain the orcs and barbarian races from massacres of humans.
... In fact, there is no need to worry about this. Even if they want to massacre, they have no chance so far.
Currently, among all human countries, the one with the most critical war situation is the Griffin Principality. After the capital was captured by a coalition of underground tribes and dwarfs, the morale of the Griffin Principality was greatly weakened. It continued to lose territory under the attacks of the coalition and was in a state of disarray.
Seeing that the Griffin Principality was about to lose its hold, the Blue Moon Kingdom, which had always had a bad relationship with it, finally sent troops to help it defend a territory in the east.
Although after this battle, the Griffin Principality may be annexed by the Blue Moon Kingdom, but in any case, at least for now, it can still survive.
The Kingdom of Thousand Springs, the most aggressive among human nations, has also paid a heavy price for its aggressive behavior over the years.
On the day when their elite troops arrived at the northern defense line of the Eagle Kingdom, the allied forces of elves and dwarves, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly rushed out from both the Ancient Forest and the Broken Cloud Mountains, surrounded them on both sides, and launched a fierce attack on the Kingdom of Thousand Springs. attack.
Of course, the Country of Thousand Springs was prepared for this. However, being prepared does not mean that you can defend against it. Facing the joint attack of the two old rivals, even the Qianquan people who were happy to hear the battle fought extremely hard, and the defense line retreated repeatedly.
Every time the defense line retreated, a large number of corpses of Qianquan men littered the field.
Of course, the dwarves and elves also suffered heavy losses, but this battle was a decisive battle that they must win. Even the gods had already mobilized, so what else could mortals say
If you win, everyone can gain peace and prosperity; if you lose, the main plane will no longer have a foothold.
So what else is there to think about? Just work hard!
As a result, wars were everywhere in the world, and almost all countries were involved in the war. Except for the southernmost part of the mainland, which was still at peace, only the far northwestern Republic was not affected by the war.
Large numbers of refugees were migrating towards the Northwest Republic, and the Church of the Mask of the Void mobilized all its forces to ensure their safety.
However, the gods believed in by the Church of the Mask of the Void came to the south, to the Secret Tower Federation, and stopped above it, with a serious expression and silence.
Above the South China Sea, the thick war clouds almost made the gods feel suffocated.
Sui Xiong could clearly see that large numbers of fishmen were gathering here from all directions. Most of them were unarmed, but they had an expression of fanaticism and even madness.
He could also guess what these guys wanted to do, and couldn't help but secretly sighed.
A large number of fishmen gathered in the South China Sea. Besides attacking the Secret Tower Federation, what else could they do
Unexpectedly, this group of murlocs, who have lacked any sense of existence for many years, would make such big news in such a silent way!
