Volume 12, Chapter 16, Southern Thorn and Northern War
This...I couldn't write a single word yesterday. My uncle had a new bride at his house. I didn't have time to type at night. I'm sorry.)
Under the joint protection of the Frost Holy Dragon and the Holy Dragon, Nilak still used lightning speed to wipe out many important figures including the Emperor of the Shenlong Empire, the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of State Affairs, and the Priest of the Holy God of War...
Almost in an instant, the entire Shenlong Empire fell into a dilemma of powerlessness due to this cruel act. Even if the War God Empire wanted to reach an alliance agreement with it, I am afraid that it would not be possible in a short time.
People can negotiate with it on behalf of the Shenlong Empire!
Not only that, after overfulfilling the preliminary tasks, Nilac did not immediately sneak out of Driston... Since the Shenlong Empire is already in chaos, let's add another fire to the chaos and make the situation worse.
Even more irreparable!
After sneaking into Driston for five days, Nilac had already figured out the details of many ministers. Once Frant and the highest-ranking leaders left, these surviving ministers were the backbone of the Shenlong Empire. Only through them,
Only the Shenlong Empire can hope to stabilize the situation and return to normal in the shortest possible time... And the return of the Shenlong Empire to normal is naturally something Nilak and the Undead Empire don't want to see!
In the entire Driston, except for the palace, there is no place that Nilac cannot sneak into. It is obviously impossible for these ministers to stay in the palace all the time, and with their status, it is naturally impossible for them to have strong men who can resist Nilac to guard them.
them!
In fact, even including those giant dragons, no one in the Shenlong Empire at this time dared to say that they could block Nilak's fatal attack. What happened to Malaya and the others had been clearly told to everyone... So ever
, when this murderous intention emerged in Nilac's mind, the fate of these ministers was determined!
It had only been two days since the storm caused by the assassination of the new emperor hit the souls of all the people of the Shenlong Empire... Overnight, the three princes and fifty-six ministers of the empire, together with
Nearly two thousand of their family members, bodyguards, and attendants were slaughtered by Nilac in their respective mansions!
The three princes were the ones who were more active after Frant was assassinated and were most likely to inherit the throne in a short period of time; while the fifty-six ministers were the most important core heads of the major departments of the Shenlong Empire.
As soon as they left, these important departments immediately fell out of control...
If the assassination of the emperor only caused the Shenlong Empire to lose its central leader, thus eliminating the possibility of forming a direct alliance with the God of War Empire, then the shocking murder that followed removed most of the important members of the Shenlong Empire.
Part of the joints has truly become a paralysis. In a short period of time, this paralysis is absolutely impossible to heal...
And there is a time lag in which the country's system is completely paralyzed, and all parts are fighting independently. With the momentum and means of Claudia and Garlington, Nilac has every reason to believe that they can put everything together before variables emerge.
Everything is solved...
Of course, this is only Nilac's own personal opinion. No one can completely speculate on all possibilities. Even those masters may not be able to fully grasp what will happen in the future! Even the masters are not omniscient and omnipotent. Nilac's speculation
, at best, it’s just a more likely guess!
……………………………………………………
Nilak went on a killing spree in the south, killing all the famous people in the Shenlong Empire. He was afraid that if he showed up, he would be killed by this killing god. Even the giant dragon was suppressed by him. He only dared to
He was moving cautiously around the palace... He was so ferocious and unparalleled that even the demon leader Adriano, who was roaming the battlefield of light and darkness, was nothing more than that!
Echoing Nilak's killer, the main battlefield in charge of the Thirteen Pluto Knights was equally fierce at this time!
Thirteen people were divided into two groups, one attacking and one resting, taking turns to replace each other, while Garlington stood up to cope with possible variables and deal with those strong men who had the ability to cause some trouble...
The giant dragon huddles in Driston, euphemistically called "protecting the important place of the palace"!
Without them, the local legions of the Shenlong Empire were no match for the Pluto Knights. They didn't even have the power to fight back. One city after another was like a projectile, being easily captured.
And every time they attacked the city, these death warriors who advocated killing and regarded human life as trivial never knew how to hold back. They fought all the way, and they didn't know how many troops and civilians were reduced to ashes in their hands... purely based on killing.
It is said that every person killed by Pluto Knight is far more than Nilac.
It was because of the spread of this name of killing that many cities did not even resist, and even declared surrender early before even seeing the shadow of the Knight of Pluto... After all, not everyone is willing to join the country.
Dead!
Maybe they will be sad when the Shenlong Empire is destroyed, but despite being sad, they still have to live their lives. As long as they can survive, how many people will seek death... After all, the enemy they need to face is the Knight of Pluto!
For such a city, the Knights of Pluto are no less troublesome. In addition to disarming their armed forces,
Under Ya's special instructions, they don't even interfere with their normal lives!
With a precedent, imitators are bound to follow. Especially when seeing the difference in treatment between a city that surrendered voluntarily and a city that was forcibly captured, imitators followed one after another, becoming more and more frequent!
Like Nilak, the Pluto Knight's offensive was far smoother and smoother than initially expected. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be absolutely no problem in capturing Driston as expected!
In fact, compared to the main battlefield where Driston and Pluto Knight are in charge of Nilak, Claudia is most worried about the supply line!
It's too long, too narrow, and surrounded by people from enemy countries. Such a supply line is so dangerous that it might be interrupted if you're not careful... The Knights of Pluto and the others are fine, but the troops responsible for the occupation are
However, the supply of food and other materials is indispensable. Once it is interrupted, changes will inevitably occur!
In normal times, Claudia wouldn't take it to heart about some small changes. If there is a war, who can guarantee that there will be no changes... However, a major situation has arisen in the Shenlong Empire, and the Dragon Clan and the God of War Empire have not yet been able to intervene.
Despite the great situation she came into, she had to be prepared for these changes to occur!
Only by seizing as much territory as possible in the fastest time, capturing Driston in one fell swoop, and annihilating the imperial royal family that has been passed down for thousands of years, can we have any hope of fulfilling the orders of the Immortal Emperor!
Therefore, Claudia personally took action and joined forces with Leona to jointly maintain the safety of this thousands-mile supply line so as to replenish strategic supplies for the frontline troops in a timely manner...
It's a bit unexpected! Although there have been many attacks, no matter the intensity, frequency, or impact, they are far less than Claudia expected... And with the supply line
With the growth, the harassment level not only did not increase, but actually decreased...
This indifferent doubt did not make Claudia suddenly realize it until the military information from the front came... The emperor and important ministers were all killed, and these sources of command were lost. Even if the harassment and attack can still be organized and coordinated, I am afraid it will not be possible.
It's just a joint action of a small group of forces. As long as you want to move, you can easily destroy them completely!
With one less person killed and fewer newcomers to replenish it, the supply line will naturally become more and more stable!
Moreover, according to some secret reports from the intelligence department, Claudia even discovered that some forces that were originally relatively active began to cease their activities after receiving the information from Driston. Many forces even went into hiding and dispersed, completely disappearing.
The momentum of confrontation with the undead empire...
"The Dragon Empire is going to fall!"
Not only Clydia herself, but even in the hearts of most of the natives of the Shenlong Empire, this idea was born uncontrollably, and it was gradually revealed in their actions!
Perhaps it was due to the influence of this trend that when the Knights of Hades were attacking the city and approaching Driston like lightning, another extremely important thing happened - the dragon retreated!
Under the leadership of Malaya, all the dragons withdrew from the Shenlong Empire!
At the moment of retreat, the black dragons were like dark clouds, covering half of the sky in Driston. And because of one sentence, the mood of all Driston people was as heavy as these dark clouds! And the infection was as fast as
Spread to the entire Shenlong Empire, and even the neighboring countries of the Shenlong Empire!
"According to the order of the great Holy Dragon King Bahamut, all dragon clans must immediately withdraw from the Shenlong Empire..."
This sentence comes from Maraya, the Holy Frost Dragon, and it goes without saying how true it is!
As we all know, the Holy Dragon King is the spokesperson of the Dragon God on the mainland, and his words and deeds are the embodiment of the Dragon God's will!
At this time, the Holy Dragon King ordered all dragon clans to withdraw from the Shenlong Empire. Doesn't this mean that the Dragon God has given up on the Shenlong Empire?
Even the Dragon God has given up on the Shenlong Empire. Is it possible for them to survive?
The last life-saving straw has been crushed. Even the most optimistic people have no expectations at this time. Even the vast majority of the army has begun to spread the trend of national subjugation!
There is no emperor to be loyal to, but there is a family to support, and there is also a timely statement issued by Claudia: "As long as all the former Shenlong Empire soldiers can withdraw from the army as soon as possible, all their past deeds will be forgotten..."
After the Dragon Clan withdrew from the mainland war, a vigorous military withdrawal movement finally broke out!
Not just ordinary soldiers, there are even a large number of officers, not just local armies, but even regular main battle regiments... When facing a war with no chance of winning and almost certain death, how many people can face it calmly?
right!
"The Shenlong Empire will inevitably perish! And it won't take long!"
Just as Nilac, who had been lurking in Driston and had never left, thought when he saw the Dragon Clan sadly withdrawing, the Shenlong Empire was so depleted at this time that it was already on the verge of death and could be destroyed at any time!
At this time, judging from the speed at which the Knights of Hades are advancing, they will arrive at Driston in at least ten days!
