Chapter 1017: ? Shadow of War

During the five-year catastrophe of the Holy See, the number of dead people is unknown, and the number of souls intercepted by the Holy See in the battle is also unknown, but they were brought back by the secret troops led by the Eternal Night Army and sent to the first The number of the second world is known-two hundred and thirty-five thousand six hundred and eighty-two.
This number far exceeds the total number of soldiers led by Yongye, who died in the five years of the catastrophe.

"East Oding grassland resettlement area, last year, newly resettled 133,000 people, planned nomadic herd, has achieved initial results, so far, not only did not ask for a grain of grain from the territory, but instead fed back to various livestock 30 Ten thousand heads, we are confident that even if the year is not ideal, we will still relocate more than one hundred thousand victims, and the number of back-feeding animals will not be less than 500,000."
"The reclaimed area of ​​the Donau Plain has been restored to 70% of the pre-disaster. Although there have been several minor disasters this year, our grassroots personnel have done a great job of preparation and actively led the people below to help themselves. Most areas have survived with their own capabilities, and they are now in the stage of grain harvesting. If there is no major accident, the grain produced here this year will not only meet their own self-sufficiency, but will also be rich in storage."
"In the Andes Basin, 90% of the re-cultivation this year has been achieved, but the weather is generally dry, most of the mountainous areas cannot be fully irrigated, and the reduction in production is serious. It is very reluctant to achieve self-sufficiency this year, and it is necessary to mobilize food support from other places. ."
"The area of ​​Huayu Plateau we newly controlled increased by more than 300,000 square meters last year. This year, it is estimated that we will be able to provide 80,000 tons of grain to the territory."
Just after the autumn harvest, the situation of the Yongye Army's various areas was summarized here for the first time.
On the whole, the situation of the Yongye army leader has been fully improved. The shadow of the disaster year is leaving them, but the shadow of war is getting closer and closer to them.
...
"Someone blames the hunger, war, and death we have experienced over the years on the true God. This is a kind of rebellious thought. The true God is leading his angel army to protect our souls from being tempted by the devil. Don’t be eroded by the nightmare, and fight without being swallowed by the devil. If there is no protection from the true God, the devil’s conspiracy has run rampant among us. It will wreak havoc in the world. The true God has done so much for us, so what reason do we have to criticize the true God any more?"
"This disaster is neither the fault of the true God nor the fault of our simple and kind believers. All faults originate from the heretics in the east. This is the anger and punishment of the laws of nature against them for blaspheming natural magic. Look at this tree, is this a product of nature?"
"My God, how can there be a giant tree bigger than a town?"
"This is an existence that violates the will of the true God!"
"How much energy does it need to absorb when it grows so large? Is it possible that it is the culprit that caused our disasters for years, because it has absorbed all the energy that originally belonged to our food?"
"It's not all. It is said that its underground root system is ten or even a hundred times larger than the surface, and it is spreading at a terrifying speed, and it has spread all over the Odin grassland, as long as its root system reaches. , The vegetation there will become extremely luxuriant, even if there are disasters like us!"
"All over the entire Odin grassland? How is it possible? How huge is the Odin grassland? It is said that the fast horse needs to run for a month from south to north, and it takes three months to run from east to west. Even if the tree is huge, It is impossible to achieve this level."
"If it is under normal circumstances, of course it is impossible, but those infidels use evil magic, it may become impossible or possible. Do you imagine, when did the disasters of these years begin? Think again, those evil In the past few years, among the victims of our territory, the heretics wantonly intercepted souls. What did they want to do? Where did the souls that were ingested by them with evil magic finally go?"
"You mean? The souls that the Yongye Army leader took away from us were all used by them as a nutrient for that giant tree?"
"It is very possible that there are things in this world that cultists who worship their lords as gods cannot do? Only in this way can it be explained. A tree larger than a town emerged out of thin air. And it grows so huge."
"My poor grandmother, my poor mother, even after her death, her soul will not be peaceful, and she will be enslaved and become the nourishment of a tree."
"My three children, won't they also fall into this situation? It is too evil, this is a kind of blasphemy, this kind of evil can never be forgiven."
"No wonder, no wonder, even if the heretics are in a disaster year, there will be production in the land. This year is a year of great prosperity, but our territory is still suffering from disasters. It turns out that everything is caused by them. They will belong to us. The food was stolen by evil magic. The food in their hands originally belonged to us."
"We must not sit still, we must do something, for our food, for our relatives whose souls have been taken away, we must do something!"
"We want to take back the food that belongs to us and save the souls of our loved ones, even if it is the price of blood, we will never hesitate!"
"We must use our hands to recapture everything that belongs to us and destroy the source of destruction that brought us destruction."
The sentiment is so surging, in the Holy See of the Holy Ether, it is not one city or place, nor is it formed in a day. Many deep-rooted concepts need to be reiterated and guided continuously by someone.
In order to shift the contradictions within the empire and their inability to resist disasters, the high-levels of the Holy See have been looking for external and objective reasons.
In the past, this kind of black pot was usually backed by the secret society of witches, such as dark magic, secret magic experiments, etc., these mysterious things, even those involved in witches, could not be clearly explained, let alone ordinary people. Most are convinced.
The Secret Society of Witches has a bad reputation in many parts of the Byron League. Although it has their own behavior, the bigger reason is that the Holy See has been discredited for centuries.
Now the secret society of witches has been crippled by the Holy See. From top to bottom, the secret society of witches is considering packing and fleeing. They are no longer enemies of the same level. If they are used as targets, it is obviously not that convincing.
The leader of the Eternal Night, who is rising rapidly and has surpassed the Secret Society of Witches in the use of spells, has become their new target.
Especially in many aspects of the Yongye army leader, even the Yongye leader people who are in it feel that they are developing rapidly, and they feel a little out of touch with the times, let alone watching outsiders.
Among other things, just being an Asahan world tree will allow all the followers of the Holy See who see it through memory images to understand incompetence, which is far beyond their scope of knowledge.
Under the conscious guidance of the top leaders of the Holy See, the Asaune World Tree, which once sealed the cracks in space and has an indelible guardian role for the Ashe continent, has changed and became the chief culprit of this disaster, and all this is the leader of the eternal night. And their lord Sean, the result of abusing evil magic.
The Yongye Army leader originally sent soldiers to secretly sneak into the territory of the Holy See Empire, absorb the souls of those victims with soul gems, and bring them back to the second world.
It was also distorted into collecting soul materials for evil magic. The souls of the victims who were taken away by them are now imprisoned, and even become fertilizer for the evil magic giant tree.
The people at the bottom are often blind and ignorant, and they are easily deceived by lies.
Especially the mysterious things they don't understand, once they don't use lies that they can understand, they often believe it.
Although the Yongye Army leader has always counterattacked by means of public opinion, it has had little effect. The Holy See Empire had already driven out all the personnel of the Yongye Army leader public activities before the founding of the country. How could they allow their public opinion newspapers to enter the Holy See What about imperial territory?
This means of attracting disasters from the Holy See Empire has indeed played a significant role. Within the Holy See Empire, the sentiment of hatred of the Yongye Army leader far exceeds that of the high level of the Holy See Empire.
They attributed all the sufferings they had experienced in the past five years to the Yongye Army leader.
This sentiment reached its climax when Yongye's situation improved.
A big reason for this kind of emotion is the death threat caused by hunger.
They want to start a war for themselves, drag themselves out of the quagmire of hunger, and find a high-sounding reason.
Compared with the holy see, the behavior of wanting to be a and setting up an archway.
The Western Odin Empire will undoubtedly be much cleaner and neater, when the Ashan World Tree purifies the East Odin grassland and the vegetation here becomes fertile again.
There are scattered tribes who have begun to migrate here tentatively. Compared with the grand-sounding things, in the eyes of these Odin orcs, survival is more important.
The fate of these Odin orc tribes is obvious. The Eternal Night Army leader did not even dispatch the regular army, but was eaten by the brave and militant Kentana barbarian tribe and became their vassal tribe leading horses and sheep.
In the years of starvation, these Odin orc tribes who became the vassal tribes of the Eternal Night Army were probably lucky.
As long as they stay safe after receiving the surrender, they will usually be included in the planned economy. Although they may not have a good life, at least they will not starve to death.
The condition of the East Oding grassland this year is obviously better than that of the Xioding grassland. Ulaanbaaji can no longer bear it anymore, and the Eastern Conquest was issued again.
But compared to the ambition of unifying the entire Odin prairie ten years ago, this time they came to fight for survival.
Whether it is the number or quality of the army, compared with the past ten years, it is worse than two.
In the Eastern Expedition ten years ago, the Western Odin Empire claimed to have millions of soldiers. In the early days, this statement did have water, but in the later period it was definitely not less than this number.
The soldiers are mainly young and middle-aged Odin orcs who have been battle-tested. They have lived and hunted in the Odin prairie for decades. Whether it is riding, archery or their own toughness, they are quite amazing. In the Ding Empire, it was like a broken bamboo.
When these elites went south for the second time, most of them were damaged in the Broken Vessel Defense Line, of which the most were killed by the Yongye Army.
During the Eastern Expedition, the army led by the Great Ulaanbaaji was mainly Odin orcs who had only grown up in the last ten years. Although they possessed the bravery not inferior to their ancestors, they still lacked too much experience.
The number is only half of the previous time, and it is only half a million when it is full.
Compared with the hurricane advance of the last Eastern Expedition, this Eastern Expedition of the Western Odin Empire was protracted.
Before the beginning of the year, the news that the West Odin Empire was preparing to march again was known to the world, and it was not until early summer that they procrastinated on the road.
It’s more appropriate to drag the family along the way, not so much as an expedition, as grazing. The walking is extremely slow. If it weren't for the king's account of the Western Odin Empire, it would make people doubt the authenticity of this expedition.
Not to mention the Military Staff Headquarters of the Special Organization of the Yongye Army, even those who have an understanding of the overall situation in the Athan continent can easily analyze the psychology of the West Odin Empire.
The continent of Ashan is now one-third of the world.
In successive years of battle, the Siodin Empire was the weakest.
On the contrary, in the five years of fighting against the catastrophe, the best Yongye Army leader was the strongest in all aspects.
The most important thing is that the West Odin Empire and the Yongye Army leader have not met well in several times, especially the trend of the Yongye Army leader in recent years, which has far exceeded their high-level cognition.
If not forced, they definitely don't want to take the initiative to provoke the enemy of Yongyejun.
The current Eastern Expedition of the West Odin Empire is more to show a gesture to show to their neighbors, Saint Ether, the Holy See Empire, so that they can safely lead soldiers to the Yongye Army.
One-to-one, whether it is the Western Odin Empire or the Holy See, the Holy See is afraid of the Yongye army leader.
If it is two to one, they still have a lot of confidence.
There is no need to conspire to contact this kind of thing. When the West Odin Empire made such a posture~EbookFREE.me~The high-levels of the Holy See of Saint Ether naturally understood it, and there was no other way to go.
Because at this time, the battle against the Yongye army leader was not determined by their needs, but by the conditions in their territory.
...
Odin Prairie.
Facing the boundary of the East Odin grassland.
The division of the eastern and western Odin grasslands is man-made, and there is no significant geographical indication.
Even the experienced Odin orcs can hardly tell whether they are in the West Odin Steppe or the East Odin Steppe. It is precisely because of the difficulty of dividing the boundary that the disputes between the East and the Odin Empire continue.
Now two grasslands here have more obvious signs.
That is, from west to east, the vegetation grows stronger as you go.
Especially for the people of Skambari, who rushed non-stop from the Miracle Peninsula to the East Odin Prairie, this feeling was particularly profound.
