    Chapter 1327 – War of India Begins


    Some people were delighted, while others naturally were not.


    The Ottoman Dynasty reducing their defensive line was originally a great chance for the Caesar Dynasty to expand. However, Caesar was afraid and did not dare to swallow this piece of meat.


    Naturally, he was worried about Great Xia.


    During this European war, it was okay when Great Xia did not strike. However, when they did, they helped Azure Badge destroy the Spain Dynasty. As such, how could the Caesar Dynasty that neighbored Great Xia not feel afraid?


    Caesar was worried that while he was busy taking down the Ottoman Dynasty, the Great Xia Army would charge in from the Mediterranean Ocean and attack their back garden.


    If that happened, Caesar would burst into tears.


    Hence, even during the most intense part of the war, the Caesar Dynasty kept half of their troops and did not truly dare to go all out.


    The threat of Great Xia had reduced a lot of the pressure on the Ottoman Dynasty.


    Otherwise, Azure Badge would not have agreed to give up the Egypt Dynasty so easily.


    Actually, not just the Caesar Dynasty, but even the Arab Empire was worried about Great Xia. During the entire war of Europe period, the Arab Empire did not dare to interfere.


    Those not in the know might think that the Arab Empire was a neutral dynasty that was not in the Silver Hand camp.


    Truthfully, be it the Arab Empire or the Persian Empire, both were in pretty awkward states within Silver Hand. Neither empire had much speaking rights.


    Due to that, these two dynasties were not so eager to join the European battlefield.


    Only they knew the happenings within.


    …


    6th month, 27th day, Imperial City.


    After the Spain Dynasty was destroyed, Ouyang Shuo’s attention shifted away from Europe.


    A month had passed, and the three armies that Great Xia had nned to attack India with were slowly moved into position. The relevant resources had been moved, and they were only waiting for the order to begin their crusade on India.


    During this period, the India Region had new changes within.


    Using their one million troop advantage, the Ashoka Dynasty showed frightening killing ability as they faced the addition of troops from the Peacock and Gupta dynasties and pushed forward the frontlines.


    Currently, the Ashoka Dynasty had already recovered two-thirds of their lostnd.


    The half a year of hard work the Peacock and Gupta dynasties had put in seemed to be for naught as the Ashoka Dynasty started to turn the tables.


    The chess game in India was truly dazzling.


    It was under such circumstances that Great Xia began a magnificent crusade.


    7th month, 1st day, the three legions of the Dragon legion corps crossed the Hetao Province border and charged into Peacock Dynasty territory, signaling the start of the war of India.


    The four elite legions of the Guards legion corps followed closely behind.


    The two elite armies, one north and one south, followed their designated battle targets to cross swords with the Peacock Dynasty at the border, starting the first wave of war in Peacock Dynasty territory.


    The moment news of this spread out, India mored!


    If one said that the India Region was at the level of a tug of war, Great Xia’s sudden interference broke the weak bnce right away.


    …


    Peacock Dynasty, Bangalore City.


    Facing Great Xia’s invasion, the Peacock King was only somewhat surprised.


    In truth, since the 4th month of the 6th year, the Peacock Dynasty had never let their guard down toward Great Xia since losing to Great Xia in the fight for Piao.


    At that time, their number of soldiers totaled at around 900 thousand.


    After the lost in that war, the Peacock King started a round of crazy troop recruitment because he was worried that Great Xia would invade them. As a result, their scale rose rapidly.


    The Peacock King had been exhausting all resources on the military.


    They had no choice. Great Xia had ced too much pressure on them, so they had to make such a move.


    It was also thanks to this move that the Peacock Dynasty was able to buy three years of peace.


    After swallowing up one of the territories in the central region, they relied on their massive talent store to join hands with the Gupta Dynasty to attack the Ashoka Dynasty. Their overall numbers reached a shocking 1.7 million.


    Meanwhile, the Gupta Dynasty had around 1.4 million troops.


    Hence, when the internal war of India broke out, the entirety of India had over six million soldiers and was even close to the seven million mark. Apart from the China region, they had the highest number of troops.


    The India of that time was something that Great Xia had no chance of beating.


    A year and a half of internal war acted as a true meat grinder. It brought the India Region a serious disaster. The intense battles between them caused both sides to suffer heavy casualties.


    When Great Xia suddenly dered war, the Peacock Dynasty’s numbers had already dropped to 850 thousand, which was even less than the 900 thousand they had before they started recruiting troops.


    These simple numbers already showed how scary the long and drawn out war was.


    Out of the 850 thousand troops, close to 500 thousand were ced on the frontlines to support the new troops to hold off the Ashoka Dynasty’s attacks.


    The problem that this created was a gap at the border defense.


    Even then, they had 350 thousand elite troops ced there. In the eyes of the Peacock King, they had the geographical advantage, so defending against the Dragon legion corps would not be a problem.


    Unfortunately, they only knew that the enemy’s legion corps went from 350 thousand men to 250 thousand men after the disarmament. However, they were unaware of the inner happenings within the legion corps.


    How would they know that the Great Xia Army’s strength had increased instead?


    Currently, the Great Xia Army’s firearm usage rate was at 70%, which was the highest in the world. Large cannons, fighter jets,bat puppets, and other strategic weapons were already equipped to the division level.


    Even before matchlock guns were out of the game, Great Xia’s elite troops were already using percussion lock guns to rece flintlock guns.


    Such a Great Xia Army was not somethingparable to its previous state.


    Due to theck of intel, the Peacock Dynasty was naturally caught off guard. In the first week, they lost four border cities.


    When the Peacock King received the report, he smacked the table in fury.


    In a one-on-one battle, the Peacock Dynasty army was not Great Xia’s opponent despite the geographical advantage.


    With the heavy cannons being standard equipment in the Great Xia Army, those solid cities were not so hard to take down anymore. Along with the fighter jets, Great Xia reduced the difference between the attacking and defending sides.


    Furthermore, Great Xia was striking with both the Guards and Dragon legion corps. Hence, even if the Peacock Dynasty was prepared, they would not be able to defend against them.


    All of a sudden, the Peacock Dynasty’s border was in chaos.


    War was like a pitch ck and endless dark cloud hanging over the Peacock Dynasty, making it difficult for them to breathe.


    On one side was the overbearing and eager to reim lostnd Ashoka Dynasty army, and on the other side was the aggressive Great Xia. The Peacock Dynasty was facing an unprecedented crisis.


    At such a time, the Peacock King had to give up something.
