Chapter 222 The Weird Seed

It was in such a situation that Patton, as the commander of the frontline operations, sat in the Longji Fortress and observed all the actions of the Sea Race on the opposite side. With the help of the Empire, relying on the natural danger of the Longji Mountains, he built a military force capable of resisting the invasion of the Sea Race. The fortress absolutely cannot allow the troops of the Sea Clan to enter the hinterland of the empire.

In such a short period of time, the Caton Empire spent almost all its strength, sending a large number of craftsmen to the Longji Fortress, and at the same time, a large number of troops were constantly gathering in various parts of the empire, and they continued to support the Longji Fortress. Many holy-rank strongmen were also sent to Longji Fortress. At the moment, Longji Fortress has gathered at least 50 soldiers and nearly ten holy-rank strongmen, and the number of soldiers and holy-rank strongmen Still continuously increasing.

As one of the four major empires on the mainland, the Catton Empire has an extremely vast territory. With an area of ​​more than 3000 million square kilometers, it has a population of nearly 20 billion. The land of millions of square kilometers occupied by the Sea Clan and hundreds of people who died Thousands of people and an army of more than 30, although it is heavy for the Caton Empire, it is nothing. However, this lion that has stood on the mainland for 2000 years, such a big damage, is enough It made it angry, and the situation of the other two empires was almost the same as that of the Caton Empire.

The Caton Empire, the Shenwu Empire, and the Caesar Empire, the three giants of the Allen Continent, finally had a tacit understanding at this moment to truly end the border that has been constantly fighting, leaving only a small number of soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers, They were all sent to the front line, and put all their energy on fighting against the Sea Clan.

Even the Aolai Empire, which has not been invaded by the Sea Clan, has tacitly stopped harassing the borders of the other three empires. As the four strongest empires on the mainland, although they are constantly fighting in the peaceful era, they are still fighting against the outside world. When the race threatened, they all united together in a tacit understanding. Of course, as to whether this unity is really that strong, that's another matter.

Faced with Longtejia's order that the sea people must not be allowed to enter the hinterland of the empire, Barton implemented it extremely thoroughly, because there is a Longji Mountains that almost runs through the entire coastal territory of the empire in the direction of the Caton Empire leading to the hinterland of the empire. The mountains not far from the coast may not be of much use in the empire's previous battles with the other three empires, but they are quite effective in the face of the invasion of the sea clans that poured out of the ocean.

In fact, the mountains of the Longji Mountains are not very steep, and there are some monsters living in them, but most of them are middle and low-level monsters. It is the favorite place for many adventurers of the Catton Empire who are not too high. , so it can't stop some masters at all, but for a large army, such a mountain range is equivalent to an almost insurmountable natural danger.

Therefore, Patton was firmly stationed in the Longji Fortress, the only passage leading to the hinterland of the empire, clamping the throat of the sea people who wanted to continue to advance into the empire, and all the troops sent to him by the empire were also stationed by him. Here in the Longji Fortress, and in other places in the Longji Mountains, he only sent some sentries, but did not station any troops.

Barton was not at all afraid that the Sea Clan would send saint-level masters from other dangerous places in the Longji Mountains to enter the hinterland of the empire to destroy them, because Barton knew in his heart that for holy-rank masters, except for the terrifying and taboo places like the Demon Mountains, other The ordinary mountains can't stop their footsteps at all, and the unique concealment and fluidity of the holy rank masters are difficult for him to grasp and guard against.

But a holy rank master also has great limitations, that is, only by following the large army can a holy rank master fully demonstrate his role in the army, because a holy rank master may decide the outcome of a battle, but Those who did not advance with the army could not occupy the land. They who went deep alone had no other role except to cause some damage. On the contrary, they would weaken the overall strength of their own large forces and bring opportunities to the enemy.

If the Hai Clan really sent a holy-level strongman to secretly sneak through the Longji Mountains and enter the hinterland of the empire to destroy it, I am afraid that Barton will be very happy in his heart. In his heart, he very much hopes that the Hai Clan will make such a stupid decision Yes, as long as a saint-level strongman of the sea clan enters the hinterland of the empire alone and is discovered by the empire, no matter how strong the holy-rank strongman is, he will not escape the ruling of the empire.

As a huge empire that has overthrown the mainland for nearly ten thousand years, the Caton Empire was established in the troubled times of the era when the Dragon Empire was destroyed. It has stood on the mainland for more than 2000 years without falling. It is unimaginable for ordinary people.

More than 2000 years ago, the Dragon Empire fell apart, and countless forces rose up. Except for a very small number of dragon knights who were killed by various forces, a large number of dragons left the mainland and entered the Demon Realm Mountains and overseas. Competing for the top spot on a land of more than one square kilometer, they have carved out their own territories on the Allen Continent and established regimes and countries of their own power.

But only a few decades later, countless new countries and forces on the mainland were all wiped out in the chaos of war, and the four forces rose up on the mainland with an unstoppable momentum. , the elves have been occupying the misty forest that originally belonged to the elves' territory, and the dwarves are firmly guarding the Rocky Mountains.

These four forces each occupy a corner of the continent, continuously expanding outwards, annexing almost all the weak forces at the beginning, and finally dividing the entire Allen Continent with four legs. This is the embryonic form of the four great empires today.

In the era when the jihad calendar just started, these four powerful forces all wanted to annex each other. Conquests continued to be staged on the continent. The chaotic situation made the strong rise and fall constantly, and the entire continent starved to death. Dao, mourning is everywhere.

After hundreds of years of fighting, the four empires that have established independent regimes have discovered that the strengths of the four parties are almost the same. If the other three parties did not unite to attack one party, it would be almost impossible for any two parties to completely unite to completely eliminate one party. It is impossible.

After discovering this fact, the four great empires delimited their own territory respectively, and the battles between them became less and less. In some places, some small principalities and kingdoms on the mainland today were established one after another at that time.

It is hard for ordinary people to imagine or even think of the real power possessed by such powerful four great empires.

Sitting in his study, Barton looked at the frontline battle report in his hand, and frowned slightly. After the Sea Clan captured the Bari Fortress, they sent a large number of troops to control the Bari Fortress, and then sent troops to The hundreds of kilometers of land between the Bali Fortress and the Longji Mountains were swept up.

Due to the order to move inland, the people in this area of ​​the Caton Empire all retreated to the inner side of the Longji Mountains, the hinterland of the empire, along with the team led by Barton who lost the Barry Fortress.

The Hai Clan's troops ran amok over this distance, without being blocked at all, and came to some cities not far from the Longji Fortress.

When these sea tribe troops swept hundreds of kilometers between the Bali Fortress and the Longji Fortress, the empire that received the news of the fall of the Bali Fortress quickly expanded the Longji Fortress, and waited until the Sea tribe arrived at the Longji Fortress. At that time, Longji Fortress, which was originally just a small fortress, has become a large military base, and many reinforcements from the empire have also arrived in Longji Fortress.

Just when many people thought that the Sea Clan would continue to attack the Longji Fortress, the Hai Clan team did not launch an attack on the Longji Fortress, but sent a large number of troops to attack the Longji Fortress between those cities and the Longji Fortress. On the plain, reclaim it.

This action of the Hai Clan almost made the officials of the Caton Empire, who were watching every move of the Hai Clan, unable to shut up. The empire, which had no idea what the Hai Clan was doing, did not immediately launch a counterattack against the Hai Clan, because the Hai Clan was The number of troops in the Longji Fortress has completely exceeded the number of soldiers distributed by the Empire in the Longji Fortress. Before the Empire is fully prepared, it is impossible to risk the loss of the Longji Fortress to launch a large-scale attack on the sea warriors outside the fortress. counterattack of scale.

During the reconnaissance of the empire, after those sea tribe soldiers plowed all the land dozens of miles outside the Longji Fortress, some weird-looking soldiers appeared in the sea tribe troops, covered with green algae. People, these people, under the protection of the sea clan warriors, kept throwing some seeds-like things in the land dozens of miles outside the Longji Fortress.

Regarding these actions of the Hai Clan, not only Marshal Barton, but also the entire Caton Empire did not understand what the Hai Clan's move meant.

Marshal Patton immediately asked a team of soldiers to risk themselves in the dark, brought back some of these seed-like things, and quickly sent these seed-like things to the interior of the empire, letting the famous planters of the empire explore these What exactly are the seeds, what are their functions, and whether they are harmful to the human body.

The planters of these empires are currently using their own planter magic to study these seeds, but none of them can research the true function of these seeds...
