Chapter 1280 – I Will Support You in Spirit
Gaia 8th year, 1st month, 6th day, Nanjiang.
After they received the military order from the Imperial Court, the Nanjiang warzone swiftly got into action.
Under the orders of warzonemander Wuqi, the Dragon legion corps and Hanoi legion corps used the ind route to arrive in Putrajaya. After which, they crossed the Straits of a to strike Sumatra ind, which was the base of Java Lord Uwais.
Sumatra had 500 thousand territory troops; it was the final hand of Uwais.
Earlier in the 12th month, the Nanyang warzone hadpeted the disarmament, each legion corps going from 350 thousand to 250 thousand. Hence, in terms of their numbers, both sides were on the same starting line.
Not to mention that the Dragon legion corps and the Hanoi legion corps had left some forces behind to defend the beast caves.
The actual number of troops sent was around 380 thousand. If one excluded the support types, the actualbat members only numbered at around 350 thousand.
Even then, if there was no outside interference, there was no way that Uwais could win this war.
After all, the Great Xia Army that had gone through disarmament could not bepared to before. The soldiers left were all elites, and the entire structure was more logical. As such, theirbat strength did not decrease and had increased instead.
Going against the Badong territory army, it would not be a problem for them to go one against three.
In the War of Mongolia that had just ended, wasn’t the strong Mongol iron cavalry crushed by the Great Xia Army? From start to finish, they were suppressed without any way to fight back.
Furthermore, although the Great Xia Army was fighting on enemy turf, the a straits was so small and was the best resource logistics pathway.
The home ground advantage of Badong City was not apparent.
In the past year, Great Xia had focused on the war of unification and the East Africa battlefield, so the entire Nanjiang had not experienced war for a year. In other words, Nanjiang had been resting up for a year.
In the game world where chaos and war wasmon, this was some really precious breathing room.
Under the nning of the Nanjiang Governor-General House, after a year of intense farming, Nanjiang had amassed a lot of grain, which could easily support such a huge war.
In this one year period, it was not like the Nanyang warzone had done nothing.
Above, from warzonemander Wuqi to the four marshals, they were all sure that after they unified China, the Empire would free up a hand to take care of Java.
Hence, one could say that the war preparations for the war of Java hadsted for a year.
When one piled up all the intel memorials about Java’s two inds, one could probably reach a stack that was five to six meters high. The Nanyang warzone had already investigated the geography of the?inds as well as other crucial information.
As a result, this battle was not an even one at all.
Facing such a situation, how could Badong City and Java win?
…
Sumatra was one battlefield. The other was Java ind, where the imperial city was located.
In the 6th year of Gaia, Badong City had lost both Kalimantan and Ilian ind, so the Java royal family took the chance to upy the entire Java ind, forming a standstill with Badong City.
This standstillsted for a year.
As their strengths were around the same, and Great Xia was right around the corner, neither side attacked the other. If they did, they would only allow Great Xia to benefit.
General Fan Lihua led the Nanjing legion corps to cross the Timor Sea. Meanwhile, Yang Su led the Heluo legion corps to cross the Java sea to pincer Java ind from north and south.
Compared to the Dragon legion corps and the Hanoi legion corps, the defense region of the Nanjiang and Heluo legion corps was really wide. As a result, they could only send out around 350 thousand troops.
Excluding support soldier types, theirbat force would number around 310 to 320 thousand.
Luckily, their opponent was the Java imperial city guards. Although Java had a million guards, they had never been to war, and their equipment basically stopped at the cold weapons era.
Facing such an army, the Great Xia Army could go one against 10.
Furthermore,pared to Sumatra, Java ind was very narrow. Especially after the map was reset, there was very little space for the imperial city guards to act.
Wuqi ordered the Nanjiang and Heluo legion corps to end the war within half a month. He was looking forward to them going up north to attack Sumatra ind after they conquered Java ind.
Once the Battle of Java ind concluded, the destruction of Sumatra ind would arrive.
At the same time, the Yashan Squadron that was listed under the Nanyang warzone would protect the ocean safety of the army. It would also strike the Java ports and cut off the connections between the two inds.
This time, the Nanyang warzone was going all out.
His majesty had said that he wanted the war to end before the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese New Year this year was on the 2nd month, 4th day so this was quite a rushed operation, and they had little time left. Wuqi had to squeeze out all the potential of the army.
Luckily, on the 1st month, 1st day, after they received the orders from his majesty, the four legion corps had already gathered up in the dark. Now, it was just a matter of announcing it in the open.
Especially after the game map reset, in three more days at most, the entire army would be able to disembark on Java to fight.
…
1st month, 7th day, Sumatra, Badong City.
Great Xia dering war now was not something that surprised Uwais. He knew that both sides would have to fight one day. Great Xia dying the matter till now had already surprised him.
Sometimes, he could not help but feel resentment toward himself, thinking that Great Xia did not start a war because it did not treat them as an opponent on equal footing.
If that was the case, it would be a huge hit to his pride.
“Why do they have to give me hope only to follow it by giving me despair?” Uwais’s expression was really ugly.
During this week, the hottest topic was undeniably the appearance of Darkness empire. It attracted all attention and became the biggest news of the start of the 8th year.
To announce their return, the higher ups of the Darkness empire even made forum posts. They also shot videos of the continent to reveal the tip of the iceberg.
Even that was enough to make people go crazy.
The previous Lords of Southeast Asia?had all contacted Uwais and hinted that the Darkness empire could join hands with Java to go against Great Xia and take back Southeast Asia.
As a result of this, Uwais had been so excited that he could not fall asleep, taking it out on four girls a night.
However, before he could calm down, the news of Great Xia suddenly dering war on Java was like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, burning up Uwais who was overly happy.
Uwais was unwilling!
He requested help from the Darkness empire, asking them to immediately interfere in Nanjiang.
Uwais, who was filled with excitement, only received a vague reply. This trick was something Uwais was too familiar with, roughly saying, “I’ll support you spiritually!”
Apart from that, the Darkness empire did not make any promises.
One could not me the Darkness empire for ying it safe. After learning the newyout of the world, even though the Darkness empire was crazy, it did not dare to interfere in the war of Java.
The current Great Xia and the Great Xia that destroyed them were two entirely different concepts.
Unifying the region that the world felt was the strongest, conquering East Africa, swallowing up Nanjiang, crushing the Ashoka Dynasty, and starting waves in South America.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the current Great Xia was a global empire. As such, how could the Darkness empire that had stepped out after so much difficulty easily dere war on them?
There was a good saying to describe this situation, ‘Only after losing something will one know how to cherish it.’
The Darkness empire was like this. They had been wiped out once, so they naturally knew how to cherish survival. Before getting enough strong allies and having enough preparation, they would not easily start war.
The Java empire that was already fading into the sunset was not a strong enough ally in their eyes.
The allies of the Darkness empire should be like the Dawson Dynasty and super organizations like Silver Hand and Azure Badge. Only if they allied with strong people could they truly harm Great Xia.
The Darkness empire had already started to treat themselves as the fourth superpower in the world.
To put it more bluntly, the small Java had no right to participate in their game.
What a tragic fate.
