Chapter 1323 – Ground Situation
The European battlefield was the strangest part of the 9th year wars.
By the middle of the 4th month, the entirety of Europe was still peaceful. There were no signs of war starting once more, which made no sense.
Ouyang Shuo even suspected that the European dynasties wanted to end the war and have peace.
Of course, that was impossible.
Based on the intel the Black Snake Guards collected, the European dynasties were not fighting because they were busy farming. The successive wars last year had used up all their grain, so they naturally placed a lot of focus on this year's harvest.
The six dynasties came to a rarely seen understanding.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he shook his head in amusement. Europeans were truly chivalrous.
He wanted to see what direction the European battlefield would head toward.

4th month, 20th day, Imperial Capital.
The India war had lasted for close to a month, yet the intensity had not decreased. Both sides were going all out, and the frontlines became meat grinders. People were dying at every moment.
The end result was that the India Region was becoming weaker by the day.
Be it the Peacock King or the Gupta King, they both realized this point. However, the war had proceeded till now, so there was no way that they could withdraw from it. They had to win.
Otherwise, they would not be able to explain things to their officials and the people.
Furthermore, they were confident about the overall strength of India. Even if they consumed it internally, they would remain unafraid of outside provocation, including from Great Xia.
Unfortunately, they were overconfident.
Great Xia, this fierce tiger, had always been staring at India.
Emperor palace, 1st meeting room.
Ouyang Shuo personally chaired the empire committee meeting to discuss the war against India.
The development of the India war had proceeded exactly as they had predicted.
Attending the meeting was Grand Council advisor Jia Xu, military affairs minister Du Ruhui, Indian Ocean Squadron Fleet Admiral Yanhuo Yaonie, Guards legion corps marshal Huo Qubing, West Asia warzone warzone commander Wang Jian, South Asia warzone commander Li Jing, and Nanyang warzone commander Baiqi. This matter involved three warzones, what a star-studded lineup.
This meeting was in preparation for the war; they were not planning to immediately declare war on India.
Along with the huge increase in teleportation costs, it was impossible to directly teleport troops to the frontlines. Moving the soldiers of the warzones would require at least a month.
After the Grand Council deliberated, they decided to split the troops attacking India into three groups.
The north front would start from Xikang Province, heading right for the Ashoka Dynasty. The attacking troops would include the two legion corps from the South Asia warzone and the four legions of the West Asia legion corps in Xihai Province.
A total of 14 legions, numbering at 700 thousand troops.
South Asia warzone commander Li Jing would be the commander of the north front. Eagle legion corps marshal Zuo Zongtang would act as the left general, West Asia legion corps marshal Hou Junji would act as the right general, and South Asia legion corps marshal Ran Min would act as the vanguard general.
