There are four major empires in Dongxuan Continent, namely the Dragon Empire in the east, the Sun Never Sets Empire in the west, the Dark Empire in the south, and the Orc Empire in the north.
The four major empires are constantly at war, especially the Dragon Empire, the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Dark Empire. Under normal circumstances, the Orc Empire will not be involved in imperial wars.
For some reason, the three major empires united to resist the Orc Empire and did not conduct any trade with the Orc Empire. Over time, the Orc Empire began to starve to death every year. As time went by, more and more people died of starvation. The Orc Empire finally endured For a long time, every year during the autumn harvest season, there will be a war to plunder food.
With the threat of the Orc Empire, the three empires gradually reached an agreement. Every year during the autumn harvest season, the three empires would join forces to fight against the Orc Empire. The three empires would call this autumn harvest season a defense war. The defense of imperial interests.
Although the three empires join forces to fight against the Orc Empire every year to participate in the defense war, the top leaders of the three empires know very well that the three empires are not as simple as they appear on the surface, because every year as soon as the Autumn Harvest Defense War ends, the three empires The empire will turn around and kill each other, and I don’t know how many people will die every year.
But even so, the three empires insisted on going their own way and ignored the lives of the three armies. They simply regarded life as trivial. However, no one dared to stand up and say a word, and Zhan Zong, who was above the secular world, would not pay attention at all. Worldly things.
The Orc Empire will choose an empire border every year when it plunders the three empires. Last year it was the Dark Empire, and this year according to the rules, it will be the Dragon Empire. In other words, whether it is the Dark Empire or the Sun Never Sets Empire, they will send large armies to the Dragon Empire. On the border, next year the Orc Empire will start plundering the Empire on which the sun never sets.
The border of the Soaring Dragon Empire is not as desolate and poor as the border of the Orc Empire. Among the four empires, the richest is the Dark Empire, and the Soaring Dragon Empire can definitely be ranked second. Therefore, even if it is the border of the Soaring Dragon Empire, after the Orc Empire robs it every year It can also allow the orcs to live a good life.
On this day, there is less than a month left before the Autumn Harvest Defense War, and the autumn harvest has not yet arrived. The people on the border of the Longteng Empire are busy harvesting. After all, the autumn harvest is about to begin in less than ten days. .
On this day, a head slowly appeared in the distance of the Soaring Dragon Empire. In the blink of an eye, countless orcs appeared on the border of the Soaring Dragon Empire. At the forefront was Yatu, a warrior at the level of the King of War.
Artu, with a cold and serious face, led the orc army slowly on the cold ground. Step, step, step. Hearing the sound of cold footsteps, all the people in each village raised their heads. When they saw the slow When the army slowly appeared, everyone immediately exclaimed, and each of them turned around and walked behind them as if they had seen a devil.
"Remember, you are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately when entering any village, as long as you protect the food, do you understand?"
"clear".
"action".
Following Artu's order, the army of 500,000 orcs all marched towards the village. Just as Artu ordered, the army of 500,000 orcs entered the village without harming anyone at all, but to guard the village's food.
If it had been before, or if the commander of the orc army this time was not Yatu, then the entry of half a million troops into the Soaring Dragon Empire would have been a devastating blow. I am afraid that within an hour, hundreds of villages in the Soaring Dragon Empire would have been razed in an instant. Flat ground.
However, none of the three empires expected that the Orc Empire would take action in advance this time. According to past practice, the Orc Empire would not launch a large-scale attack until half a month after the autumn harvest season when the people had harvested all the food.
The reason why the Orc Empire dispatched the Orc army in advance this time was entirely because Artu proposed to the Orc Emperor that they would not launch an attack until after the autumn harvest season when all three empires thought they would start plundering.
Hold on to the food first, and just wait until the food matures and start harvesting immediately. By the time the three empires react, the Orc Empire has already obtained the food and sent it back. In this way, the Orc Empire can get what it needs without spending a single soldier this year. Food for the winter, why not
The development of the matter was just as Yatu expected. The three empires would never have thought that the Orc Empire would plunder in advance. Even if the three empires knew what they could do by then, it would take a month at the earliest before the three empires sent troops. time, the daylilies will be cold by then.
Three days after the Orc Empire seized the border, in the palace of the Soaring Dragon Empire, a calm-looking Duanmu Wentian quietly looked at the book in his hand. The entire hall was silent, without even a sound.
There were hundreds of civil and military officials standing under the main hall, but at this time, no one dared to speak, because just now, bad news suddenly came from the border. The Orc Empire actually occupied the border without anyone noticing. For the Soaring Dragon Empire, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, striking hard on the head of the entire Soaring Dragon Empire.
Time passed bit by bit, Duanmu Wentian finally finished reading the book in his hand, closed it tightly, his face instantly cooled down, and he asked in a cold voice: "Who can tell me what is going on? "
There was still no response, and no one from the civil and military groups in the main hall answered, because not to mention Duanmu Wentian, even the civil and military officials didn't know what happened.
"You are all useless, what use is it for me to support you?"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
It was not a trivial matter for the emperor to be angry. Except for one person in the main hall, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted for His Majesty to calm down. Seeing this, Duanmu Wentian became angrier. If it were not for the sake of the empire, he would have wanted to immediately Pull out the group of people in front of you who only know how to flatter others every day and kill them.
All the civil and military officials in the hall had a calm expression and did not kneel down. This person was none other than Sima Leiting, the general of the Soaring Dragon Empire. Although Sima Leiting was only a war king, his status in the Soaring Dragon Empire should not be underestimated. He could even compete with Soaring Dragon. The two guardians of the empire are equals.
The reason why Sima Tingting has such a distinguished status is precisely because Sima Tingting is praised as the charging general by the Dragon Empire. Every year when the orc army invades, if nothing happens to the Dragon Empire, this general Sima will send troops to resist, and he has outstanding combat skills.
"Your Majesty, this time the Orc Empire attacked me in advance and crossed the border. It seems that it was premeditated. If it seems that it is too late to send troops now, I have a way to solve the urgent need."
"Sima Aiqing, please tell me quickly." Hearing that General Sima actually had a solution, Duanmu Wentian was immediately happy. After all, if the Orc Empire army cannot be stopped in time, if the border is plundered, what will happen to the Longteng Empire? It's a significant loss.
"Your Majesty, it's too late for us to send troops now. The only way now is to gather all the surrounding armies to the border. Then I will lead the Longteng Army to rush to the border. When the time comes, Your Majesty will send troops immediately. Hmph, we must do it this time. Catch all the orc army in one fell swoop."
"What General Sima said is absolutely true. I will immediately gather all the surrounding armies and rush to the border. This time, Sima Aiqing will be here."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. I will prepare immediately now and we will set off soon."
"Well, go ahead."
In the back garden, Duanmu Yongzhao, the ancestor of the Longteng Empire, looked calm and asked in an indifferent voice: "Is there something going on at the border?"
"Ancestor, I really didn't expect this time that the Orc Empire would launch an attack on the border in advance. Now that I have sent Sima Leiting and the surrounding armies, I believe we can withstand it."
"Confused".
Confused, when he heard his ancestor scolding him, Duanmu Wentian immediately knelt down on the ground. Although Duanmu Wentian was nominally the biggest in the Longteng Empire, Duanmu Wentian knew very well that the biggest person in the Longteng Empire was not himself at all, but the one in front of him. As long as the ancestor says a word, it is not certain whether he can keep his throne as emperor.
"Ancestor".
Before Duanmu Wentian could finish speaking, Duanmu Yongzhao turned cold and said, "If you do this, don't you mean that we will face the Orc Empire alone? If this continues, one will wax and wane, and our strength will weaken. The two empires will Our strength will increase. What should we do when the two empires join forces to deal with us?"
"Ancestor, with you in charge, what if the other three empires join forces to deal with us?"
"Hmph, I don't know whether to live or die. Do you think that my ancestors and I are invincible? I can tell you that there are strong men equal to me in the other three empires. If the three old guys join forces to deal with me, Long Teng will Danger is over."
Is Dragon Soaring in danger? Hearing his ancestor's words, Duanmu Wentian's expression suddenly changed. He originally thought that his ancestor would be the strongest in the world, but what he didn't expect was that the other three empires actually had the same level of strength as his ancestor. Or, speaking of it this way, as the ancestors said, if the ancestors of the two empires take action and the strength of the Soaring Dragon Empire is reduced this time, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Soaring Dragon Empire.
"Ancestor, what should we do now?"
"Notify the two empires immediately and ask them to send troops to the border as soon as possible. Tell the two empires that the reason why the Orc Empire plundered in advance this time is mainly because the Orc Empire discovered that there are heavy treasures on the border, which are most likely owned by the Dongxuan Empire. The treasure left behind”.
"Dongxuan Empire?" Hearing the words of the ancestor in front of him, Duanmu Wentian's face suddenly changed again, because he knew very well what the Dongxuan Empire represented. He said with some uncertainty: "Ancestor, if we talk about the border With the treasures of the Dongxuan Empire, will the other two empires believe it? After all, the Dongxuan Continent has been destroyed for many years."
