Chapter 1322: TWO Chapter 1322-Smoke rises, flames burning toward the heavens

Chapter 1322 – Smoke Rises, Flames Burning toward the Heavens

After the exciting Chinese New Year holiday, the land started to defrost and all living things started to awaken.

For the normal civilians, the Chinese New Year might only mean the start of a busy year. However, it was a matter of life and death for the dynasties.

In the past year, the Egypt, Brasilia, and Maple dynasties were destroyed. No one knew which other dynasties would be wiped out this year.

As the huge wave swept across, only the strongest would survive.

Gaia 9th year, 3rd month, 1st day, not long after the Chinese New Year, the Great Xia Imperial Guards legion corps formed an exploration team to head toward the newly unveiled Gendaya Continent for an adventure.

The leader of this team was the deputy marshal of the 1st legion – Moon Shines over the River.

As they were in the 9th year of Gaia, Planet Hope was already imminent, so no dynasty with ambition would give up on such a chance to collect intel.

The Dawson Dynasty, the Indian Empire, the Darkness empire, and the European dynasties all sent exploration teams to explore Gendaya.

In the next year, the Gendaya Continent would be the stage for the top adventure gamemode players to compete.

3rd month, 5th day, India Region.

Right after winter ended, the one that fired the first gun in the world was not the expected European battlefield but the India Region that did not have much presence.

Ashoka King, who had endured a lot of humiliation, suddenly revealed his icy fangs.

A winter had passed, and the million war prisoners had gone through three months of recovery training. Ashoka King had invested a lot and provided them with an unlimited supply of food to increase their ability.

After the winter period, the million war prisoners had returned to their peak forms.

With these troops to rely on, Ashoka King was naturally eager. He took the opportunity that the enemy had not found out to launch a counterattack.

It was a case of, ‘Killing a thousand, losing 800.’

Although the Peacock and Gupta dynasties had forced the Ashoka Dynasty into a terrible situation during the war last year, they had also consumed a lot themselves, and the victories that they had achieved were not easy.

Under such circumstances, the sudden addition of a million new troops was enough to change the tides of the battle.

In the next month, the army split into two under the personal leadership of Ashoka, going from defense to attack to regain their lost land.

The Alliance Army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

The cities that the two dynasties had expended so much to take down were being lost at a visible rate, making the hearts of the Gupta and Peacock kings feel pained; they were both filled with discontent.

Only when the middle of the 3rd month arrived did they manage to find out why the Ashoka Dynasty army had abruptly become so strong.

“Shameless, shameless!”

The two dynasties were furious and filled with hate toward Great Xia for their backstabbing. However, there was nothing they could do, and they could not fault Great Xia for it either.

In front of absolute power, one would only get their teeth broken.

Depression was depression, but neither the Peacock King or the Gupta King were people who admitted defeat easily. Seeing that it was already the 9th year of Gaia, they did not have the face to continue allowing the Ashoka Dynasty to survive.

It was the only NPC dynasty left in the world.

Failing to get rid of it would make the India Region unable to raise their heads.

This was something the prideful Indians did not wish to see.

After barely holding off the Ashoka Dynasty’s assault and losing 10 odd cities, the two dynasties finally had some breathing room to stabilize themselves and launch a counterattack.

The two dynasties had a tacit understanding to throw in more troops to the frontlines.

As they say, ‘The fighting spirit aroused by the first roll of drums is depleted by the second and exhausted by the third.’

In their eyes, the current Ashoka Dynasty was going all out; if it won, it could continue the three way split, but if it lost, it would totally collapse.

Hence, to the Alliance Army, this was both a crisis and an opportunity.

As long as they went all in and threw in a large number of troops to fend off this wave of attacks, when the enemy force wavers, they would be able to launch a counterattack and achieve victory in one battle.

The two dynasties were pumped.

It was with such a mentality that the India Region battlefield entered its most intense phase. If nothing went wrong, the outcome would be decided during the first half of the year.

After spring began, apart from India, the other battlefields also started to heat up.

For example, the Africa Continent.

The recent system update was a massive blessing to the Bantu Dynasty, which had a shocking amount of gold stored. This unassuming Africa dynasty became the focus of attention.

Everyone was staring at their gold.

The first to make moves were not the dynasties but the merchants. They were like sharks who had smelt blood, bringing boat after boat of resources and sailing toward the Cape of Good Hope.

All of a sudden, Cape Town’s port was filled up.

Large amounts of resources flooded the Bantu Dynasty in exchange for crates and crates of gold.

After the system update, the dynasties all announced that they would start their own currencies. During this transition period, gold would obviously still be the only trading currency.

However, once the currency was released, gold would be prohibited from flowing in the market.

The dynasties were copying Great Xia, buying back gold and making them into gold bricks to form the dynasty’s strategic gold storage. From now on, large amounts of gold would be gathered up in a small number of banks.

Lords of the modern day obviously understood the importance of gold storage.

As for the Bantu Dynasty, they were very happy about the visit from the world’s merchants. Although the Bantu Dynasty was so rich, it had a low resource production rate and was a dynasty that relied on imports.

Both sides clicked instantly.

As they say, ‘War is a fight of money, of resources.’

The flooding in of merchants helped to push forward the Bantu Dynasty’s crusade in the north.

The Bantu Dynasty made orders with the merchants while preparing heavily for battle to start the Central Africa war with the Dawson Dynasty once more.

The flames of war in Africa were ignited again.

Facing the aggressiveness from the Bantu Dynasty, Jack was really calm, not adding fire to the oil. He chose to focus on defense instead.

It was not that he was weak but that the Dawson Dynasty was focusing on the Mayan battlefield.

The Mayan war had developed to such a state, and it was not something the Dawson Dynasty could just stop. Once their frontlines show a hint of weakness, Mayan Dynasty would push in and capitalize on it.

The Mayan Dynasty had Great Xia’s support and was not easy pickings. They wanted to borrow the strength of Great Xia to have a good battle with the Dawson Dynasty.

The Mayan Dynasty did not want to simply defend their land.

They were really clear that in terms of geography, they were pincered between Great Xia and the Dawson Dynasty. Their only way out was to breakthrough from one side.

The Mayan Dynasty and Great Xia both had their own needs and were just using one another.

Under such circumstances, the Dawson Dynasty naturally needed to tread carefully; they not allow the Mayan Dynasty to cross the border. If not, all their prestige and authority would be lost.
