At the end of August, 17963 in the mainland calendar, a full month and a half had passed since the day the mainland war started.
And in this one and a half months, the situation on the mainland, which was originally three-legged, has undoubtedly undergone radical changes like earthshaking.
As the Kingdom of Frans, which was first occupied by the entire Papal kingdom, under the constant high pressure in the previous month and a half, most of the officials and the upper class chose to surrender.
In the most humble manner, he was completely reduced to a servant of the Papal State.
As for the government-in-exile transformed from the original French border guards, it is now under the pressure of the Papal State's ordnance, and can only continue to fight in various mountains and wilderness.
Like a dog in the mourning family, you can't be in panic all day long.
Correspondingly, the Ottoman Kingdom, located in the south of the mainland, has now merged into the torrent of the troops of the Eastern Expedition because of the fact that it has completely fallen to the Papal State camp.
Now he is using the alchemy equipment provided by the Papal State to continuously attack the two major oases of the city-state of Menis, which is firmly adhered to, and also spread his teeth and claws on the federal border.
Even to a certain extent, the Ottoman Kingdom, which is eager to show its value in front of the Papal State, is actually far more terrifying than the Crusades of the Papal State itself.
They don't care about occupation and rule at all, instead they just need to continue to kill and advance.
After all, every inch of territory occupied is ultimately the territory of the Papal State.
And any warrior who was brutally slaughtered will be clearly transformed into the glory of war of the Ottoman Kingdom in the bloodiest way.
…
However, compared with the successes of the Papal State on the north and south sides, a race that they also had high hopes for, undoubtedly did not bring any good news to the Papal State.
The tragedy of the federal border fortress has obviously given enough warning to the whole world.
Now whether it is the Federation or the Empire, or even the Peacock Kingdom that needs to cross the Yunzong Mountains to reach, they have all entered the highest level of alert.
Although the blood moon elf's attack was blocked by Su Mu and his party who had just returned to the mainland, they did not achieve the effect they expected.
But the federal fortress at the time, after all, had no more power to chase down the enemy.
Most of the blood moon army that failed to attack is still under the leadership of the king's ten sages, and once again returned to the wider wilderness outside.
Even with the death of Yakamoan, the heir to the royal line, the relationship between them and the Papal Kingdom has indeed become weird.
However, after all, with the Papal kingdom that unifies the world's ambitions, it will naturally send enough persuaders again, and once again, a new support target will be developed among the blood moon elves.
As a result, the Blood Moon Clan, who had already torn their faces with the Federation, once again joined the feast of this war.
Although the blood moon army that has been successfully preserved so far has not appeared in any other battlefields, nor has it yet again attacked more fortresses.
But in the final analysis, the more they are so silent and elusive.
For all defenders who may be attacked, it is always a sharp sword hanging over the head.
Let the empire and federation now know that the main battlefield is not near the abyss, they still have to hoard a large number of people on the border of the abyss.
After all, once the Empire and the Federation truly declare war, if the door behind the Empire and the Federation is opened, it will inevitably cause an essential movement.
Even if the blood moon elves are alone, they don't have the capital to fully engage the big country.
But under this situation, no matter whether it is the empire or the federation, there is no doubt that they have not really forgotten... In the abyss backed by the blood moon elves, there are countless tribes of the demon.
Those messy and huge ethnic groups, even if they seem so scattered now, can't take the initiative to gather a sufficiently orderly army.
However, once the borders of the major powers are lost, a large area of land will be exposed to them.
I am afraid that the hunger for the fertile land alone can make all the Demon races instantly unite in the enthusiasm called "Hope".
Like a wave of locusts, it instantly swept the entire country behind the barrier.
…
Therefore, today, after a month and a half of the war, although the Empire and the Federation are still stalemate in the imperial capital, they still have not reached an agreement on a comprehensive counter-offensive.
But whether it is within the empire or the federal territory.
The only other two powers capable of resisting the frantic attack of the Papal State are constantly accumulating weapons and grain, waiting for the real battle that will surely erupt in the future.
But now it seems that since the Federation and the Empire are still in relative silence.
Even the empire that had already sent troops outrageously entered the Raksha Nation under the pretext of "auxiliary defense", and did not declare war on the Papal Nation.
As for the Federation, which has already been attacked on the border, it simply announced a war against the blood moon elves, but quietly avoided placing the Papal State as a target of war.
I am afraid that the territory outside the two powers has long been regarded as a buffer zone by the Empire and the Federation.
So today, I see the emperor's strange forced marriage.
In fact, in most people's minds, some even more bizarre guesses will not arise:
Could it be that the Longtuo Empire and the Science Federation had already planned to delay each other like this for a long time, and were basically relying on this farce-like urging to marry, in order to delay the inevitability of a joint counter-offensive
…
"On the federal side, naturally it is deliberately procrastinating."
"After all, what the Federation needs most now is to use time in exchange for the stability of the internal system, so as to enter a more efficient state of war as soon as possible."
"But as far as the empire is concerned, although we still don't know the purpose of the emperor, he will never continue to delay for this reason, but is waiting for a certain time."
At this moment, ten days have passed since Emperor Long Tuo put forward those three conditions.
However, so far, the negotiations between the Empire and the Federation are still in a stagnant state.
On the contrary, in the entire imperial capital, the imperial princess is about to get married, and all kinds of petitions and demonstrations are everywhere.
Even outside the state guesthouse where Su Mu and others stayed, the more radical imperial residents stood far away from the street and sang folk songs about marriage in a tacit understanding.
Suddenly, the sense of urgency about war disappeared in the imperial capital.
The only thing left is the expectation for the princess's wedding.
So at this moment, when Su Mu stood silently by the window of his room, looking at the "extraordinarily lively" Imperial Street, there was a kind of astonishment circulating.
"First of all, we have actually understood... All the arrangements of the imperial emperor must have some purpose that has nothing to do with the wedding."
"Secondly, we have actually given the answer, and it must be conveyed to the empire. But even so, the empire is still obsessed with continuing to build momentum, but has not really revealed their purpose."
"That means..."
When Su Mu said this, he looked deeply at the desk opposite the window and the desk calendar on the desk that had been turned to the last page of the month.
Then, with a firm tone, he concluded directly:
"In other words, what the imperial emperor is waiting for is actually a certain point in time that even he can't change... As long as that point in time is reached, everything will eventually be completely revealed."
"At this moment, it is actually the last day of the month, and it is also the day before Frost Moon is about to disappear."
"So regarding the real purpose of the imperial emperor, I am afraid that it will inevitably be accompanied by the disappearance of Frost Moon, and then it will be completely... unfolded in front of everyone!" ()
