Hundred Battles Pass!
A massive fortress separating the center of the continent from the chaotic realm.
Every ten years, a holy war is waged, and the armies of the four kingdoms of Rose, Damo, Rais, and Iba launch an attack here.
In terms of area, the continental center is not as large as the chaotic territory.
However, in terms of prosperity, it far exceeds a hundredfold.
Four great empires sit in the center, surrounded by hundreds of kingdoms, and thousands of dukes and marquises have their territories scattered throughout.
Each holy war is generally led by dozens of peripheral kingdoms, who lead the territories of thousands of dukes and marquises to attack the Chaos Territory.
Other kingdoms and even empires would provide some form of assistance.
"This time, my Rose Kingdom will divide into at least ten cities!"
A huge council chamber, decorated quite luxuriously, was where four generals in military uniforms sat together discussing matters. One of them, a general with a rose medal pinned to his chest, stood up and spoke.
Every holy war is an opportunity for these kingdoms to expand their territory and conquer a considerable amount of land.
In the last land division, the Rose Kingdom only received five cities, which greatly dissatisfied the king. This time, he issued a strict order to the general, demanding at least ten cities.
However, his actions displeased the other generals. Although they could gain some advantage in each battle, the forces of Chaos Zero were not entirely made of clay, and each city required a great deal of effort.
On average, each holy war could only capture about thirty cities. He asked for ten of them as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the other three very unhappy.
"General Rose, your appetite is a bit too big!"
General Damo spoke, his eyes somewhat cold. With a full beard, he had the appearance of a burly man, but he was a cautious general in leading his troops.
"The spoils of war are distributed according to the size of the battle achievements. Now that the war has not even started, you are making exorbitant demands. This will make our cooperation very unpleasant."
He said that, and the other two also gave him unfriendly looks.
But the Rose General smiled slightly and said, "I have my reasons for making this request. Please let me finish."
"In this area we're responsible for, our biggest rival is Lily Territory, isn't it?"
The other three nodded, thinking of that woman, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Moreover, it wasn't just that woman; those three old guys, and that silver dragon, were all difficult to deal with.
“In the previous holy wars, each of our four kingdoms dealt with one of those women and three old men, but no one was able to spare a hand to deal with that silver dragon, which was also close to its glorious peak!”
The other three nodded again, after all, none of them wanted to add pressure to their kingdom's army.
General Rose smiled slightly: "This time, we can handle that silver dragon!"
Upon hearing his words, the other three generals exchanged glances, whispered a few words, and then nodded: "If that's really the case, your request isn't unreasonable, but the three of us would like to know what kind of confidence you have."
The three of them inquired, because if they had no idea what was going on, they wouldn't feel at ease once the holy war started.
General Rose seemed to have anticipated this, leading the three to his own army's camp. When the three saw a colossal figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the army, they were immediately shocked.
It was a Titan, with ancient blood flowing through its veins. It was said to devour dragons, possessing unparalleled power, and yes, it was also highly immune to magic.
Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, each hair like a small tree, swaying slightly in the wind. At this moment, it held a blood-soaked giant elephant, tearing at it with its mouth as if no one else was around. Its exposed tusks plunged into the flesh, and with a slight force, a piece of delicious meat was swallowed by its belly.
Standing nearly 20 meters tall, this should be its shrunk size. The aura it exudes is around the peak of the Brilliant Realm, slightly less, but still around the 11th level.
There will be absolutely no problem facing that silver dragon.
"With this Titan's help, this battle should be much easier for us. We might even break our previous records and capture forty or more cities!"
Both sides are preparing for and mobilizing in preparation for the impending war.
Su Qing was not idle either. He tried every means to get Chris into an army, and although it was a ragtag army, he managed to get him a deputy general position.
That way, when the war starts, with Chris's help, some things will be easier to do.
In addition, he made another trip to Hope City to pick up the first batch of fortifications that had already been delivered.
When Su Qing spat out a cannon, Ariel's expression was strange, but when she discovered that the cannon was unexpectedly powerful, she became very interested.
"Each strike is equivalent to the full power of a Glory-level mage. A small number of them won't have much effect, but if there are thousands or tens of thousands of them, they can definitely influence the course of a war."
Ariel made a judgment, and her gaze towards the black dragon seemed a little off: "You have many secrets about you, don't you?"
Su Qing scratched her head shyly: "Everyone has their little secrets, but my lord, the merchant I found said that there's a 10% discount if we buy now, so I think we can buy more!"
Ariel waved her hand: "No need, I'll find the alchemists in the territory and have them study it. We'll make it ourselves!"
Su Qing: "I #..."
Su Qing quickly stepped forward, a smile spreading across her face: "Lord, the war is about to begin, and there's no time to do research now. We can research and purchase at the same time to prepare for the war."
These words moved Ariel, and because this female lord was not short of money, she immediately placed an order for 5,000 units, and Su Qing immediately took the money to make arrangements.
At the same time, he told the caravan members to take immediate action upon returning and completely conquer the entire Northwest region.
This is how you can do business better.
With the current strength of the Dragon Territory, it could easily defeat the remaining kingdoms in the northwest.
When Su Qing returned, she recommended some of the new products produced in Dragon Territory to Ariel.
The puppet armor and similar items, some of which intrigued Ariel.
In fact, the technology was quite ordinary; it was just the ingenious ideas that were so amazing that the wealthy woman placed several more large orders.
In addition, Su Qing's eyes turned red when she learned that Lily Territory had dozens of alchemists.
He only had one, while this rich woman had dozens.
It's unlikely they'll steal it, but Su Qing plans to send someone to learn from them first.
The alchemy department was truly a wise decision to establish back then, as it is now proving invaluable. Dozens of outstanding prospective alchemists have been selected from among them, and Su Qing has arranged for a caravan to escort them over. He plans to have these caravan members assist the alchemists.
They learned from them.
Of course, it would be even better if we could find a way to dig some out.
Time passed quickly, and a month later, war broke out abruptly!
