chapter-1179
The second Asia region country war, apart from a theatrical change at the Hetao border, was pretty stale with little surprises. Not to mention no country being wiped out, but there were not even many large-scale battles.
Apart from low player participation, another reason was the fact that the weak countries had already been wiped out, so only the strong powers remained.
A battle between strong countries could not be decided within a single month.
It would definitely be a long and drawn out war.
Specifically, in the India battle against Great Xia, Peacock Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Although Great Xia suffered some casualties, the biggest sacrifice was the innocent Great Han.The imperial city guards of India suffered too.
The country war mechanism that Gaia set up had a loophole, which the Lords abused. Ouyang Shuo used this loophole to the extreme, crushing the foundations of Great Han.
This was really unfair to the NPC dynasties.
Due to that, right after the country month ended, Gaia announced the removal of the country war month setting, removing all protective mechanisms and returning the world to a chaotic background.
Of course, the peace in Asia could not hide the chaos that happened around the globe.
In just a month, through the work of Silver Hand and Azure Badge, territories were either merged, rebuilt, or exchanged, causing a new shuffling of the world layout.
...America Continent.
North America, Canada Region Maple Dynasty swept the region and became the overlord.
At the same time, between the Dawson Dynasty and the Indian Dynasty rose up a new dynasty – the Mayan Dynasty. This place was where Mayan civilization rose from.
Be it Maple Dynasty or Mayan Dynasty, they both belonged to Azure Badge.
Maple Dynasty, Dawson Dynasty, Mayan Dynasty, and Indian Dynasty split up the boundless America continent. The four dynasties belonged to three camps, what a chaotic place.
Under the pincer of both the Maple Dynasty and Mayan Dynasty, Dawson Dynasty would not be able to have such a comfortable time.
...
European Continent.
Spain and Portugal merged, forming the Spanish Dynasty of which Lord Casillas became the king. The original Portugal Lord Pedro lost in the battle and disappeared from the wilderness.
Pedro had the chance to join Great Xia, but he was uncertain and missed it. Who would have expected for him to fall in an internal fight for power?
Spanish Dynasty not only merged with Portugal, but it also used Morocco as a foundation to take down Algeria, connecting it with Morocco as one.
Hence, the Spanish dynasty became the first dynasty that had land on both the north and south shores of the Mediterranean Ocean. It placed Jidian City, which was located at Gibraltar Port, in an awkward position.
Algeria became a side character in the end.
News had it that to take down Algeria, apart from the Spanish Squadron using their own strength, Silver Hand used the Algeria Lord to create chaos in the imperial city.
That allowed the Spanish Dynasty to take it down easily.
Along with Gaule Dynasty, Ottoman Dynasty, Caesar Dynasty, and the House of Tudor, the five dynasties used the country month to split up the entire Europe.
The Mediterranean Lord group in a traditional sense had now became a thing of the past.
Out of the five dynasties, apart from the Ottoman dynasty that belonged to Azure Badge, the remaining four were from Silver Hand, emphasizing the huge influence they had in Europe.
In terms of land area, Ottoman Dynasty and Caesar Dynasty were the largest.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo did not have high hopes toward the Ottoman Dynasty. Northwest of it was the House of Tudors, east was Romanov Dynasty, south was Caesar Dynasty, and southwest was Gaule Dynasty.
Being surrounded by enemies all sides, if it was not because the two organizations had not gone all out against one another, no one would think that Ottoman Dynasty could survive unless a miracle occurred.
...
Africa Continent.
With the manipulation of Azure Badge, Egypt merged with Libya on the west, Sudan on the south, and formed the Egypt Dynasty, the first in Africa.
The formation of the Egypt Dynasty stopped Great Xia's expansion in North Africa.
When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he could not help but sigh. Great Xia's North Africa strategy had faced so many problems. Luckily, they had taken down Ethiopia. If not, Great Xia would have to just back out of the African battlefield.
Apart from that, South Africa on the south also took the chance to merge with the surrounding countries, forming the Bantu Dynasty.
At this point, Africa was not a land of chaos. One north and one south, two dynasties belonging to Azure Badge had formed, showing the intentions of wrapping up the entire Africa.
One had to say that Azure Badge was smarter than Silver Hand in their workings in the neutral regions. Their connections and resources as well as the trust they formed while being in the Federation was something that Silver Hand could not compete with.
Through these series of actions, Azure Badge had gained a stable footing in America, Europe, and Africa. It had consolidated its scattered powers, having the power to fight against Silver Hand.
The global situation was slowly becoming clearer and clearer.
Along with the various continents clearing up, countless imperial cities were cleared out, becoming strength for the dynasties.
In comparison, China region and India region in Asia were different.
India Region currently had five territories and one imperial city, showing no clear signs of any of them merging.
Hence, such a chaotic situation would continue for a period of time.
India was also the only region in the world where Silver Hand and Azure Badge coexisted.
Not to mention the China region, which would only be more chaotic than India. In the China region, the victor would not be decided in a short amount of time. Under the global shuffling, such a chaotic situation was really unique.
Of course, along with this round of country war ending, Great Xia would declare war on Great Han. Along with the China region internal war starting, this chaotic situation showed some signs of ending.
It was only a matter of time.
...
6th month, 30th day, Shanhai City.
The global shuffling was something Ouyang Shuo paid a lot of attention to because it affected Great Xia. However, he had no way to affect the matter. As for specifically what they should do, it would be analyzed by the Administrative Mentor Court.
What he needed to do was to settle the matter ahead of him.
The day before the country war ended, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Capital City. The relevant post war data had been tabulated by the Privy Court and placed on his desk for him to read.
During this battle, Ouyang Shuo had earned 500 thousand merit points. As he had already reached the max rank, the merit points were automatically switched to achievement value, netting him 500 thousand achievement value, which was enough to instantiate an AI.
Apart from merit points, they captured 180 thousand prisoners. Amongst which, a large portion was obtained by the Great Han iron cavalry. Ouyang Shuo especially sent a letter to express his thanks.
After replenishing the loses, cutting off the injured and the ones who did not meet standards, there were 120 thousand prisoners remaining. This batch was sent to Great Jin as a part of a trade between the two.
Ouyang Shuo hurried back to Shanhai City mainly because he had to plan the attack on Great Han.
The change in the global situation made Ouyang Shuo realize that he had to quicken his takeover of China, as he did not want to miss the upcoming global battles.
A week ago, Han Xin had led the Leopard Legion Corps and teleported over to Fallen Phoenix City.
At the same time, to ensure that the Battle of Great Han proceeded smoothly, Ouyang Shuo sent the 5th legion of the City Protection Legion to aid the battle, putting them under Han Xin's control.
The Leopard Legion Corps had gathered up at the border and could charge in at any moment.
The ones providing logistical support for the Leopard Legion Corps was Great Jin. Hence, the Attack on Great Han was a combined effort with one being in charge of the battlefield, and the other in charge of supplies.
The repayment that Great Xia gave was the 120 thousand war prisoners.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to do that because Great Xia was not connected to Great Han, so this was the only way.
If he let the matter drag on, unexpected things might occur.
To prevent Di Chen from joining the battle, the Tiger Legion Corps and the newly formed Xiangjiang army all moved toward the border except for some men left behind to defend the beast caves.
The Beijiang legion corps in the north did the same.
Great Jin's blazing legion corps also gathered at the border, monitoring every movement from Handan City.
Even the Eagle Legion Corps at the north of Shu Lands was ordered to move toward the west at the border with Jingchu Province to get ready to charge into Great Zhou territory.
Apart from Great Zhou, there was another power that had the ability to interfere - Great Tang.
However, considering how Great Tang would still face retaliation from Great Xia even if they took down Great Han, Li Shiming would not be so reckless.
If Great Tang suffered heavy losses in their attacks on Great Han, would it not be a free gift to Great Xia?
Hence, one could see that Great Xia still had some influence in China.
Zhongyuan, border.
At 9 AM, the Leopard Legion Corps along with the 5th legion of the City Protection Legion Corps, a total of 400 odd thousand troops, officially entered Great Han territory.
Han Xin's strategy was simple; they would head directly for Luoyang and not waste any time.
There were less than 200 thousand Great Han Guards, and they mainly consisted of cavalry. They were not good at defending. If they fought outside of the city, it would be worse off for the Great Xia Army.
Rather than that, why not directly siege?
They could surround a point and hit the reinforcements while taking down the crucial areas, killing two birds with one stone. Once they broke through Luoyang city and took control of the teleportation formation, the Great Xia Army could reinforce the battlefield and ensure that nothing went wrong.
Along with the Great Xia Army attacking, the long term peace of China ended, and war raged once more.
No one expected that this war would actually be a spark to a huge drawn out war in China.
This war was between Great Xia and the six country alliance that was forming in the dark.
