Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 604

c604 Return to Innoguan

The Empire of Dark Night – or the declaration issued by Yu Fei, is obviously mainly aimed at human beings. Although various human countries are now trapped in the quagmire of fighting for power, they cannot ignore this declaration that clearly wants to destroy the foundation of mankind.

Once outside the Holy Imperial Capital, the Holy Emperor wanted to kidnap the Dark Night Empire into the Holy Alliance in the name of “maintaining peace in Esraze”. At that time, Yu Fei said that if we want to achieve true peace, all we need to do is unite under the Dark Night Empire. The current declaration is, to be precise, just a rehash of old matters.

The top leaders of various human countries are not just guys blinded by power. There are also many people of insight who understand that now they should unite to resist foreign enemies. Humanity had only faced orcs before, but now the Dark Night Empire has been added to the mix. The disaster of genocide may appear in the near future.

But you know, you know, sometimes even if you know what you should do, you can’t do what you should do. After some forces that called for an armistice to jointly defend against foreign enemies were seized by other forces to destroy them and seize some of the power that belonged to them, everyone fell silent.

Although the threat from the Dark Night Empire is great, it is not imminent. But within various human countries, in order to compete for the throne, the threats between princes and princes are very close to their eyes. Faced with the declaration of the Dark Night Empire, the human world only calmed down for a short period of time before returning to the previous state of fighting.

It’s not that humans don’t know that if they continue to fight among themselves like this, they will be taken advantage of by the Dark Night Empire, but they can’t help themselves. What those princes or the forces supporting them want is to seize the power of domestic rule as soon as possible, and then use a unified country to fight against the Dark Night Empire.

Yu Fei was naturally happy to see this situation. Even if a few human countries were unified and pacified in a short period of time, they alone would not be able to fight against the Dark Night Empire. Yu Fei didn’t believe that those human countries could settle down and unite together at the same time.

This is the human reaction to the Dark Night Empire’s declaration, vigilant but powerless. Most other races are in a wait-and-see state. The attention of the new orcs is now attracted to the original territory of the orcs, and they have no time to take care of the Dark Night Empire.

The underground dwarves and hill dwarves among the dwarves have already surrendered to the night elves, and the opinions of a branch of the Dark Iron dwarves are no longer relevant to the overall situation. Not to mention, now that the dwarf king Gargant exists, the hill dwarves have once again become the orthodoxy of the dwarves. Gargant has already stated that the dwarves respond to the Dark Night Empire’s “peace call” after the Dark Night Empire’s declaration.

As for other small races such as the Amazons and the dwarfs, not many people care about their opinions. In the world of Eslazer – or in all worlds, arrogance is not a sin, weakness is. These small races are not strong enough to affect the overall situation, so they have no say.

The only one that may have to be weighed by the Dark Night Empire may be the Dragon Clan. If the dragon clan participates in the struggle for hegemony of the Eslaze continent as it did in history, then the Dark Night Empire may have a difficult time.

However, the Dragon Clan is far away on Dragon Island in the south and is relatively closed. It is difficult for the Dragon Clan to know the news on Eslaze Continent for a while, so the Dragon Clan has not reacted yet.

No matter what various races and forces think, the advance of the Dark Night Empire continues. The surrender of the three kingdoms did not stop the troops of the Dark Night Empire from advancing. Millions of night elves joined forces and thousands of chimeras were dispatched. Even the three kingdoms couldn’t even pay the appearance fee for this army.

As for the territories of the three surrendered kingdoms, they were easily absorbed by the Dark Night Empire. The large number of grassroots officials that the Dark Night Empire has cultivated over the past few years may not be enough to manage the entire human world, but it is more than enough to incorporate these three kingdoms into the Dark Night Empire’s governance system.

The direction of the Dark Night Empire’s troops is heading east. Further east from the three surrendered human kingdoms is the territory of the Holy Lion Empire. Two years ago, the forces of the Dark Night Empire invaded this country, which had long been the first empire of mankind, and now they have begun to invade again.

Compared to those kingdoms that are still in chaos, the Holy Lion Empire does appear to be relatively stable now. As an empire with a long history, the Holy Lion Empire naturally has a set of countermeasures when facing this special situation.

After Yu Fei killed the kings of various human countries outside the Holy Imperial Capital at that time, although several princes in the Holy Lion Empire began to fight for power and threatened the crown prince’s position, they were quickly put down.

This is because the several Holy Word families in the Holy Lion Empire chose to support the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne. With the support of several Holy Word families, those few princes wanted to seize the crown prince’s position and even the Holy Emperor’s position. He could only drink his hatred, and the original prince became the new holy emperor.

Facing another invasion by the Dark Night Empire, the Holy Lion Empire’s attitude was resolute resistance. It’s just that the troops of the Holy Lion Empire were originally in the south of the country and even in other kingdoms to resist the invasion of the orcs. For a while, they were unable to summon too many troops to the west to resist the forces of the Dark Night Empire.

Therefore, the Holy Lion Empire made the decision to cut off the strong man’s wrist. After millions of troops from the Dark Night Empire invaded the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, they were surprised to find that they did not encounter any resistance. They marched straight in and easily occupied a large area of ​​the territory of the Holy Lion Empire.

At the beginning, Illidan led part of the night elf troops and fought a guerrilla war with the so-called famous continental general Spindu west of Inno Pass in the Holy Lion Empire. Then he used the flying magic of the sky druids to transport the night elf troops across Inno Pass and directly attacked the Holy Imperial Capital.

That short-lived raid was a shame for the Holy Lion Empire. Even though Marshal Spindu had the strength of an epic early stage, his family was second only to the four holy families in the Holy Lion Empire. He also resigned after this short war and was suppressed by the angry former Holy Emperor.

And the beginning of all the shame was Inno Pass. Now the territory of the Holy Lion Empire that the Dark Night Empire easily occupied is also a large area of ​​territory west of Inno Pass.

The Holy Lion Empire responded in advance and relocated the cities west of Inno Pass, but due to time constraints, most of the residents of the cities were unable to escape, and only some nobles who received the news in advance were able to move.

Facing the invasion of the Dark Night Empire, the residents of the cities of the Holy Lion Empire west of Inno Pass showed unexpected calmness. Illidan, the leading marshal, found out after some investigation that it was the sequelae of his last invasion of the Holy Lion Empire.

At the beginning, Illidan adopted guerrilla tactics in the west of Inno Pass, which made the cities miserable. However, Illidan’s main goal at that time was to attract the attention of the Holy Lion Empire and plunder the property of merchants and nobles in those cities. He did not do anything excessive to ordinary residents.

Now the residents in these cities can be said to have been abandoned by the Holy Lion Empire. They have no power to resist and can only accept their fate calmly.

Fortunately, neither Illidan nor Yu Fei are interested in slaughtering these ordinary humans. Yu Fei is not a murderer. He does not want to see the world he is going to rule uninhabited. Besides, those ordinary humans did not provoke him, and he could not get a lot of magic crystals and magic cores from them that can be converted into energy. There is no need to slaughter them.

Therefore, after easily occupying the city of the Holy Lion Empire west of Inno Pass, the grassroots officials trained by the Dark Night Empire were soon sent here, and this territory that originally belonged to the Holy Lion Empire was also included in the rule of the Dark Night Empire.

However, the Dark Night Empire’s troops will not be so easy to advance. The Holy Lion Empire gave up the territory west of Inno Pass, which does not mean that they will give up Inno Pass as well. On the contrary, the reason why the Holy Lion Empire gave up the west of Inno Pass was to shrink its forces and concentrate on defending Inno Pass.

This approach of the Holy Lion Empire made Illidan feel a little funny. He remembered the scene when he led the army to invade the Holy Lion Empire last time. At that time, Marshal Spindu also chose to defend Inno Pass, which was equivalent to giving up the city west of Inno Pass.

It’s just that the last time the night elf troops easily crossed the defense line of Inno Pass, and even sneaked for a few days and hit the Holy Imperial Capital. Why didn’t the Holy Lion Empire remember this time?

Or has the Holy Lion Empire taken some measures to guard against possible surprise attacks by the Night Elf troops? Thinking of this, Illidan simply sent out some Hippogryph Knights to try to cross the mountains on both sides of Inno Pass like last time.

But at the top of the peaks of those mountains, the Hippogryph Knights found a series of illusory huge eyes. When the Hippogryph Knights flew here, these illusory huge eyes would emit obscure magic fluctuations.

Illidan knew that this was a rare kind of magic in the world of Eslaze – the Mage’s Eye. The effect of this magic is somewhat similar to the owl of the huntress among the Night Elfs, which can detect the situation in an area and be known by the caster.

When the Hippogryph Knights were observed by those Mage’s Eyes, they might have been seen by the caster who released the Mage’s Eye. In this case, the surprise attack could not be done. However, the Holy Lion Empire actually replaced the spell slots of a large number of military magicians with Mage’s Eyes, which would greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the military magicians.
