The Blood Empire watched with a sense of detachment, even preparing to sell resources to both sides once they were exhausted from fighting.
Although the Alliance of Hund Nations faced initial disadvantages, they did not take it too seriously, believing it was just an ordinary war similar to the Blood Empire's invasion years ago, thinking that after about 10 years, the opponent would retreat.
Therefore, the Alliance of Hund Nations stationed a considerable number of troops along the straight, connecting both sides to prevent the Blood Empire from invading.
Gradually, as the Eternal Knight army advanced, both sides realized something was wrong.
The strength of the Eternal Knight Empire exceeded their expectations.
The Alliance of Hundred Nations had to relax their policies and strengthen communication with the Blood Empire, which surprisingly did not make things difficult for them, starting to support the Alliance without imposing harsh conditions.
Initially, it was just material support.
Then a small number of strong individuals went over.
And finally, an entire legion was sent to the northern continent to fight against the Eternal Knight Empire.
Naturally, the Eternal Knight Empire was aware of this, but found it difficult to point out.
Since the Blood Empire had not fully intervened, just sending a few legions, they decided to let them come.
However, not pointing out did not mean they did not respond.
All the blood legions in the northern continent were specially monitored.
As a result, the blood legions that have been sent over these years suffered considerable losses, not to mention the auxiliary troops.
Just the regular army alone added up to over 100,000.
Among them was a fully staffed six-tier epic legion and a legion with 1/5 of its members converted to high tier, which had the potential to be promoted to high tier in the future.
Such losses, even for the blood empire, were not insignificant.
Elder Dola, we cannot speak like this.
The current situation is different from the past.
The Eternal Knight Empire is expanding day by day.
If we ignore it, it will eventually threaten us.
Right now, we still have the Alliance of 100 Nations as a buffer.
Once the Alliance is destroyed, the Blood Empire will face them directly, and the losses will be even greater.
This argument makes sense.
While the Alliance of 100 Nations still exists, we can hide behind them.
Once they disappear, our pressure will increase.
I agree to provide support and it must be substantial support.
Declaring war directly is also not out of the question.
I also support Elder Kr's proposal to assist the alliance of 100 nations.
Agreed.
Consent.
Gradually more and more elders cast their votes in favor and the young emperor on the throne smiled.
I oppose.
At this moment a sudden voice spoke up.
A relatively young elder looked at everyone and softly said, "As you all said, the Eternal Knight Empire is indeed powerful.
" But to say they directly threaten us is somewhat exaggerated.
You all should at least look at the map first.
The Eternal Knight Empire is located in the southern part of the eastern continent while we are in the western continent, separated by the northern continent.
They are thousands of miles away from us at such a distance.
Not to mention ordinary legions, even high tier powerhouses, would take several months to arrive.
Taking out a newly drawn world map, the young elder began to point at it, explaining his reasons for not supporting the proposal.
Even if they really destroy the alliance of 100 nations unless they relocate their capital, they cannot control the northern continent.
We do not need to fight them now.
After they destroy the alliance and withdraw, we can support a new alliance.
Wouldn't that be better? After hearing his words, the elders had various expressions.
Some were indifferent, some frowned, and some closed their eyes in contemplation.
Is the distance between the eastern continent and the northern continent so far? This is my first time knowing.
What you said is make some sense.
Since the eternal knight empire is going to destroy the alliance of 100 nations, they must be fully prepared.
Even if we send people there, it might not be useful.
We could suffer heavy losses.
Don't forget how the 17th Legion was destroyed.
Your ideas are not acceptable.
I believe we should send troops.
Even if we cannot change the outcome, we cannot allow the Eternal Knight Empire to easily take the Northern Continent.
A cold-faced elder said sternly, "Moreover," who said that going to the Northern continent must mean supporting the Alliance of Hun Nations.
"Are you suggesting?" An elder hesitated.
Is that appropriate? There's nothing inappropriate about it.
The wealth accumulated by the alliance of 100 nations over hundreds of years.
Chapter 200.
Prelude to the final battle.
The elders of the blood empire were in heated discussion, each expressing their own viewpoints.
However, the number of supporters for both sides was nearly equal, making it impossible to reach a unified opinion.
Ultimately, it was left to the supreme ruler, the master of the empire, to make the decision.
Angel's stance was very clear.
Strong support.
strong support if viewed solely from the perspective of internal development and external warfare.
Angel was undoubtedly a ruler who prioritized development and disliked war.
However, the reality was quite the opposite.
Angel was an ambitious emperor with aspirations so grand that even the blood empire's original strength could not achieve them.
Everything he did, consolidating the internal forces of the blood empire, centralizing power, implementing reforms, and developing the people's livelihood, was for one purpose, to unify the plains.
While other blood clans were still basking in the glory of the empire and content with the status quo, Angel had different ideas.
He wanted to conquer all the forces of the entire plane, turning them all into the servants of the blood empire and then leveraging the strength of the entire plane, surpassed the ancestor of the blood empire, the long fallen deity.
According to Angel's original plan, the blood empire should have continued to develop for a period before launching a full-scale invasion of the northern continent, coordinating internal subversion with external attacks.
Unfortunately, the emergence of the Eternal Knight Empire disrupted his plans.
When the war broke out, Angel initially thought that both sides would fight for at least a hundred years or even longer.
However, the speed at which the Eternal Knight Empire captured territory far exceeded the Blood Empire's expectations, and their management of the occupied regions was also excellent.
By the time Angel realized the severity of the situation, it was already too late.
In just a few decades, the 100 Nations Alliance was on the verge of destruction and it was being invaded by external enemies.
This was something that no one would have believed a century ago.
Yet now the reality was evident.
The Hundred Nations Alliance had reached the brink of extinction.
And if left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before the world would no longer have the Hundred Nations Alliance.
Since the situation could not be salvaged, they might as well add some trouble to the Eternal Knight Empire before the Hundred Nations Alliance perished.
After the Supreme Ruler made the decision, even if there were elders who opposed, it was of no use.
The Blood Empire quickly responded to the Hundred Nations Alliance and began mobilizing legions, providing strong reinforcements to the Northern Continent without any intention of concealing their actions, completely unafraid of the eternal Knight Empire, discovering it in the Imperial Capital, Knight City.
As the Hunter Nations Alliance once again sought aid from the Blood Empire, the Eastern Continent also began its final mobilization.
Elite legions returning from the half plane of void began to prepare for battle.
After years of training, some had advanced to the seventh tier, becoming true epic legions.
While others still belong to the sixth tier, but had made significant progress, boasting combat power comparable to ordinary seventh tier legions.
With a lavish training environment, endless precious resources, and a steadfast heart in pursuit of strength, they could continue moving forward and growing stronger.
The opportunity to annihilate the Hundred Nations Alliance had finally arrived.
It truly was a long battle after so many years since the king's arrival.
It seemed like this was the first time they encountered such a troublesome opponent, taking nearly 40 years.
One had to admit they were indeed somewhat capable.
After all, they were the overlords of the northern continent with vast lands and a large population.
Sustaining for so long was quite normal, but it was of no use.
Victory would surely belong to the Eternal Knight.
Well said.
Victory belongs to the Night King.
