Chapter 98 Participating in the War
The flames of war seemed to ignite the entire Sainz continent in an instant.
In early June, the army of the Kendela Empire invaded the Kingdom of Rulson.
Immediately afterwards, the coalition forces of the Maro Empire and the Kingdom of Falk invaded the Principality of Drake, and fought fiercely with the coalition forces of the Principality of Drake and the Kingdom of Lampari at the border.
At the same time, the Sac Kingdom assembled a large army to attack the northern army in the town of Lampari Kingdom.
If you connect these three places, you will find that these three armies are all pointing to the same place, which is the Principality of Standing located in the southwest corner of the mainland.
To be precise, it pointed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the flames of war are not limited to the southwest corner of the mainland. Before these flames of war were ignited, the forty-seven countries that previously listed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as hostile had put pressure on neighboring countries and asked them to expel the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, it will be regarded as supporting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it will also be classified as a hostile relationship.
Due to pressure and interest considerations, many countries that have not made a clear statement before have also listed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as an unpopular chamber of commerce, and have fully sealed down the various bases, factories, and shops established by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in their countries.
Of course, some countries did not heed this warning and still maintained their cooperative relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
These countries, including the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and the Principality of Wales, are 16 countries that have a relatively deep cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So after the flames of war in the southwestern corner of the mainland were ignited, these sixteen countries also suffered attacks from one or even several surrounding countries.
However, the preferred targets of these attacks are directed at the various bases of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Since the war between the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire nearly 40 years ago, this time can be said to be the war involving the most countries and the widest scope launched by the Sainz Continent in recent decades.
And the initial target of this war is not a country, but a chamber of commerce. It is really the most peculiar war in the history of Sainz Continent.
In the eyes of most people, no matter how strong the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is, no matter how powerful it is for military magic machines. It is absolutely impossible to really compete with a huge empire like the Candela Empire.
What's more, this is the first time that the two empires, the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, have joined forces since their establishment. In addition, there are countries with similar strengths including the Maro Magic Kingdom, the Dro Kingdom, and the Frank Kingdom. It can be regarded as gathering more than half of the power in the entire Sainz continent.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has the support of the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson, the Principality of Drake and other countries, how can it possibly resist such a terrifying force.
So most people think so. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has led the wave of the magic industry on the entire continent, is probably coming to an end.
However, when the flames of war really ignited, the facts that happened made the entire continent lose their voices.
It was the Candela Empire that first ignited the flames of war.
However, as the vanguard of the Candela Empire army, the Guangyao Legion, one of the ten elite legions of the Candela Empire that first invaded the Luerxun Kingdom, has only been fighting with the Luerxun Kingdom's army for half a day. The entire army was already nearly wiped out, and the head of the legion, Earl Antusol, even died on the spot.
Subsequently, the 60,000 coalition forces of the Maro Empire and the Frankish Kingdom were blocked by the less than 20,000 coalition forces of the Duchy of Drake and the Kingdom of Lampari at the border between the Principality of Drake and the Kingdom of Frankish.
During the two-day confrontation between the two sides, the follow-up magic artillery units and logistical supply units of the coalition forces of the Maro Empire and the Frankish Kingdom were continuously bombed by aerial artillery fire from the magic airship reorganization brigade of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and finally the entire army was wiped out.
The Marfa allied forces, which had lost their supplies and the magic artillery unit they relied on the most, were forced to withdraw from the Duchy of Drake, but they were also bombed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic airship reorganization brigade on the way to retreat.
Although there were two great magicians and several high-level magicians fighting with the army, the final result was that the two high-level magicians died on the spot, and a total of thirty-seven high-level magicians also died in battle. bits, as for eleven barely escaped.
In the end, the coalition forces were pursued by the bombing of the magic airship in the air and the coalition forces of the Principality of Drake and the Kingdom of Lampari. The loss was heavy, and only a mere 20,000 people fled back to the Frankish Kingdom. It can be said that they had reaped a disastrous defeat.
However, compared with the losses of the Sark Kingdom, the losses of the Candela Empire and the Maraudi Empire are nothing.
In order to cooperate with the attacks launched by the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, the Sark Kingdom, which had already reached an agreement with Dark Red and them, simultaneously launched an attack on the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom, with the intention of containing the Lampari Kingdom.
However, in this sneak attack, six battalions were sent out, with a total of 30,000 people, the Greedy Wolf Legion, without exception, was fiercely counterattacked by the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari. There were only less than 4,000 of the 30,000 troops. The crowd escaped scattered.
More importantly, the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom immediately launched a counterattack against the Sak Kingdom.
If we talk about the complete equipment of military magic machinery. Then, apart from the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the other most complete army on the Sainz continent is the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari.
Since nearly 20 years ago, the Lampari Kingdom has been working hard to build the Northern Army through the good relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After nearly two decades of cultivation. Now the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari has evolved into a new type of combat force with a complete military magic mechanical system.
The Zhenbei Army has equipped fifteen armed magic airships equipped with military magic machines alone, and there are countless other types of military magic machines.
Such a huge army with a total number of more than 50,000 people can imagine its combat effectiveness.
Although the Kingdom of Sark has been spared no effort in the development of military magic machinery related research and development in these years, it is undoubtedly impossible to compare with the various military magic machinery obtained by the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So as soon as the battle started, the army of the Sak Kingdom retreated steadily.
It only took half a month. The Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari has already defeated all resistance from the Kingdom of Sark, and successfully broke through the city of Nordron, the capital of the King of Sark.
The current king of the Sak Kingdom fled with some of the ministers of the Sak Kingdom before the city was broken, and all the kings of the Sak Kingdom fell.
At the same time, after repelling the Marfa allied forces, the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Drake did not stop there, but directly invaded the Kingdom of Farak. The legion and the reinforcements sent by the Maro Empire finally chose to retreat before reaching the capital of the King of the Franks, and rebuilt a fortification on the border with the Principality of Drake.
After this battle, most of the regular army of the Frankish Kingdom lost more than half of their vitality, and they no longer had any ability to participate in the war against the Duchy of Drake.
The Maro Empire, on the other hand, never expected that they would lose so quickly and so badly, that the backup force was still in the process of being organized, but they were completely unable to launch another attack for a while.
As a result, the northern part of the Principality of Drake has temporarily entered a state of peace.
But... the southern Luerxun Kingdom is not peaceful at all.
After the Glory Legion was nearly wiped out, and even the head of the Legion, Earl Antusol, died on the spot, the Candela Empire was furious and immediately dispatched a large army to invade the Rulson Kingdom.
Although the Rulson Kingdom had some military magic machinery to support it, the Candela Empire was fully prepared this time, dispatching a total of 180,000 troops to invade simultaneously from multiple sides.
At this time, it reflected the huge influence brought about by the Norton Principality's merger into the Candela Empire.
Originally, if one wanted to enter the Rulson Kingdom from the Candela Empire, there were only two routes to choose from: the east side and the northeast of the Rulson Kingdom. This invasion of the Candela Empire allowed the 180,000 troops to divide into six routes and invade at the same time.
The total army of the Luerxun Kingdom is only 50,000. It is of course impossible to completely resist the invasion of the 180,000 army.
However, at this time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce issued a statement to the outside world, making a public statement for the first time to refute the various accusations made by the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In the statement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stated that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been adhering to the purpose of cooperating with the two empires and vigorously promoting the magic industry in the two empires. It intends to jointly improve the daily life of the people of the two empires and promote the development of the two countries. .
However, the two empires turned black and white, slandered Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for participating in reactionary activities, and without reason and basis, seized and banned various industries established by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the two empires, which not only brought Xinfei Chamber of Commerce It caused huge economic losses and even caused extremely serious casualties.
In this regard, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce expressed unacceptable and strong condemnation.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stated in the second half of the statement that the Duchy of Drake and the Kingdom of Luerson are both long-term strategic partners of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not stand idly by, and will definitely support the two countries in accordance with the strategic cooperation agreement to help them resist the invasion of the two empires.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also stated that these supports are not only all kinds of material support, but also direct military support.
In other words, the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will officially announce their participation in the war. (~^~)
