Empire of Shadows

Chapter 308: There is no way back

Views:

"Sir, the entire Iron Fortress has been arranged according to your instructions. Within a ten-kilometer radius of this city, I think we can achieve the scene and result you want at any time..."

Shen Xiang, who came back from outside the castle, was very confused about the tasks I arranged, but because of the importance I had always held in his heart, after I told him everything, he carried out every detail of my plan without hesitation.

However, Shen Xiang was full of doubts about whether such extreme measures were necessary. After all, since I opened the No. 2 storage center, the news from all over the continent showed that humans had not suffered any unbearable defeats, whether on the front battlefield or behind enemy lines. Moreover, in the battles that I could control, especially those involving terrorist attacks and harassment, I had achieved incredible results.

The lair of the hill giants was destroyed, the dwarves were almost wiped out, the elves have sent news that their queen hopes to negotiate with me, and the dragon clan had their lair breached by Yan and the Mokast Empire because almost all of their troops were mobilized... Although they failed to completely occupy the Dragon Island, the destruction caused by those warriors who extremely hated the alien race not only burned the Dragon Island, but even the dragon treasures and the descendants of the dragon clan were almost destroyed and slaughtered.

Tens of thousands of soldiers who attacked Dragon Island were almost annihilated. When faced with the impressive record of the expedition to Dragon Island, everyone, including Marshal Sterling of the Mocaster Empire, squeezed out the word "worth it".

But as the terrorist attacks continued, I also deeply realized that after experiencing terrorist strategies for such a long time, I, and even the entire human race, have been deeply hated by all alien races.

At the same time, I also know that when some races with weak willpower and endurance cannot endure this dual torture of body and mind and surrender to me, those races that have not yet reached the critical point or have exceeded the limit of damage will continue to attack humans... and the offensive in this case will be extremely fierce.

"What is the current war situation? Can the Senke Federation still organize a resistance force?" Although I know that in the entire war situation now, except for Sack, which has gathered part of the defeated troops of the Senke Federation and the Kastark Empire and has a slight advantage in dealing with a part of the demons, the rest, such as the Kastark Empire Army, the Yan Kingdom and Mocast Empire Coalition Forces and the Free City Alliance Army, have almost all suffered defeat in the battles with alien races.

What makes me feel the most heartbroken is that the Senke Federation Berserkers, which were originally the most powerful in this continent and the most capable of competing with the demons and beastmen, have lost contact because the coalition forces of the elves, dwarves and other alien races broke through the Senke Federation capital. To be honest, if they were still there, then the last war reserve warehouse I opened should be used differently... But everything in the world is probably destined. After all, the war reserve warehouse I prepared was not intended to be used to fight against aliens. It was prepared entirely because I was afraid of a joint attack from the other three countries on the continent...

"Among the five forces in the four countries on the continent, in the past few weeks, except for the troops led by Marshal Thacker who eliminated the remaining hill giants and repelled several attacks by the dwarves, there has been no happy news on the battlefields of other places...

In the north of the kingdom, the coalition forces of our country and the Mokast Empire are struggling to resist the joint attack of orcs and dragons. Because our country has suffered too much loss of magicians in previous battles, our magicians on the front line are unable to resist the invasion of so many dragons.

Although our coalition can still resist the joint attack of the beastmen and dragons in the short term, I think anyone who knows the war on the front line knows that it is almost impossible to hold the northern defense line for a long time. Not to mention the large number of deaths of magicians every day, the most important thing is that our frontline soldiers are losing confidence... When the morale of our soldiers drops to the freezing point, I can't guarantee how long the northern defense line can continue to exist...

In the north of the Western Continent, the Paladin family that we have been looking forward to, according to intelligence, has basically exhausted its main leaders. Although its current head, Marshal Rick, is also a genius general, his army was purged by the new emperor who usurped the throne of the Kastark Empire, and its combat power is simply not comparable to that before the turmoil. In addition, for some unknown reason, Marshal Rick has always disagreed with the title of the new emperor of the Kastark Empire, which has also led to discord among the top generals of the army. It is said that the recent battles were defeated because of the lack of orders in the army...

Finally, regarding the Senke Federation, according to the latest news, when the Senke Federation was attacked by alien races, due to the participation of a large number of elves, the berserkers basically did not exert much combat effectiveness and were wiped out by the elf archers... According to intelligence, the berserkers were basically killed by arrows in the head, and they had no ability to fight back at all..."

"Ah..." Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh. Everything is destined! Otherwise, how could those monsters that are extremely resistant to physical attacks and even my giant crossbow can hardly kill them happen to run into those elves with amazing archery skills? The head is indeed the most vulnerable! Otherwise, the ordinary arrow speed used by the elves that I know is just a little more exquisite than the arrow speed used by ordinary human warriors in this world. In terms of lethality, it is not much stronger than the ordinary arrow speed, not to mention compared with the super long arrow speed used by my longbow.

"Tell me... those people in the General Staff, how long do you expect these wars to last?" Although I already had a rough idea in my mind, in order not to act blindly, I finally asked cautiously. At the same time, when I asked this question, it actually meant when I would execute the next plan.

"If there are no major changes... in 20 days at the latest, or half a month at the fastest, the dragons and orcs will break through our northern defenses and reach the Iron Fortress within the next week..." Shen Xiang was careful, as if he was afraid that I couldn't bear it. While speaking, he kept observing my reaction. (To be continued)
