1159 Leaving an Ember (1/2)
Chapter 1159 – Leaving an Ember
To Great Xia, whether they gave up Morocco Province or not would lead to two totally different outcomes.
Choosing to fight to the death with the enemy at Morocco would expend a lot of their resources and energy without getting anything in return. Furthermore, the risks were really high, and if they handled it badly, the entire situation would collapse.
After Zhang Liang analyzed the situation, Ouyang Shuo even suspected that this was Silver Hand's real goal.
Only by giving up could the skies be clear once more.
”While Morocco attracts the enemy's attention, there is much we can do. Java, Johor, and Piao country are all good choices,” Zhang Liang suggested.
As for the specifics of who the send and how to attack, the Grand Council would naturally make the decision.
”I'll have to remind you all that if we do not want Somalia to follow in the footsteps of Morocco, we must act, and we must be quick,” Zhang Liang said.
One must not forget that Somalia Province was directly opposite to the Arab Empire.
Due to the above considerations, the Grand Council spent a day in a meeting and finally came up with a battle plan. The next morning, the Great Xia Army placed around the various lands started to move.
A huge war was just a touch away from starting.
...
Handan City, Palace.
During these past few days, Di Chen's mood was really good. After Algeria officially declared war on Great Xia, Di Chen smiled, ”Great, winter is finally over.”
Juedai Fenghua smiled too. She could understand Di Chen's mood.
”This time, let's not be greedy and just take down Beijiang Province and Liaojin Province!” Di Chen was full of confidence with acting while Great Xia was being held up. The Beijiang legion corps was naturally nothing to him.
Juedai Fenghua nodded. At least, Di Chen did not let his happiness get to his head and knew what was right. Even if Great Xia was surrounded, it was still a lion that could not be easily challenged.
To smoothly take down two provinces would already be a huge harvest for Great Zhou.
In the future, if Silver Hand continued to push down on Great Xia, they could naturally take down Yingzhou Province. When that happened, Great Zhou's tough situation would be solved, and they would go from a fish in the ocean to a bird soaring in the sky.
”Old fox, let's see how long you can remain so arrogant.” Di Chen muttered.
...
Gaia 6th year, 3rd month, 5th day.
Regarding the revenge talk of Algeria helping the Morocco royal family, Great Xia's Honglu Temple gave out a reply that said, ”The talk of restoring the country is a joke. Morocco Province belongs to Great Xia, and we will not stand to see its dignity be compromised.”
Along with the words of Honglu Temple, Great Xia West African legion corps 1st and 2nd legion started to gather toward the east. This action was naturally read by the outside world as, ”Facing the challenge by Silver Hand, Great Xia has accepted it!”
The moment the news spread out, the world was boiling.
After Silver Hand revealed their presence, players around the world felt a chill, and the reveal of Azure Badge made the normal players feel more despair as they honestly said, ”This is not the world I'm familiar with!”
How would they have expected the world to actually be so dark?
Under such circumstances, the Great Xia Dynasty who had always had problems with Silver Hand along with Ouyang Shuo's background as a commoner became the lamp of light amongst the darkness for the normal players.
When the Atlantic Squadron was crushed by Silver Hand's scheming tactics, players were annoyed.
Algeria's declaration of war had pushed the global situation to a new climax. The players were waiting to see how Great Xia would react. Would they fight or would they want peace?
The players' moods were conflicted.
They hoped for Great Xia to not yield and go head on against Silver Hand, but they were also worried that Great Xia was not strong enough and would get wiped out by Silver Hand. If that happened, they would lose all hope.
Great Xia's reply naturally received a lot of discussion amongst the players.
...
In the following few days, Great Xia's legions started to move, gathering toward cities with teleportation formations. Anyone could see that Great Xia was going to go all out. They would rather die than give up their territory.
This was in line with the style of Great Xia.
When Silver Hand got the news, they finally placed down their worries.
”He is still a young man. He could not withstand the provocation and blew up at a touch.” Number 1's mood was really good.
After confirming that Great Xia was going to fight a huge war, with the organization of Silver Hand, the Mediterranean alliance squadron swiftly gathered toward Algeria to transport ocean amounts of goods to the frontline.
The Spanish Invincible Squadron, the Portuguese Squadron, and the Gaule Squadron were in charge of locking down the ocean region. Originally, they were supposed to lock down the Gibraltar Straits, but under the interference of Atlantis, they decided not to be too much.
