When the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire joined forces with over forty other countries and over sixty well-known organizations to declare war on the New Flyer, no one was optimistic about the prospects of the New Flyer because no one believed that the New Flyer could resist such a terrifying force.
Even though the Lampari Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Delar Duchy, and many other countries expressed their support for the New Flyer, this didn't change everyone's opinion.
This was because compared to behemoths like the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire, the Lampari Kingdom and the others were only small countries. Their overall strength was far inferior.
Of course, because the New Flyer and these other countries possessed a portion of military magic machines with the support of the New Flyer, some people guessed that the two empires wouldn't progress too smoothly after the start of the war and would be counterattacked by these countries.
But no one believed that they would be able to resist in the end because the difference in national strength was too great. Even if they competed in consumption, the two empires would definitely exhaust them bit by bit.
But when the war between the two sides truly started, everyone discovered that the progress was different from what they had expected.
Whether it was the Kandla Empire or the Malor Empire, they suffered heavy losses when they invaded the Kingdom of Ruhr from the south and invaded the Delar Duchy from the north.
The Malor Empire was still fine. They only fought with the Drake Duchy and the Lampari Kingdom at the border of the Delar Duchy and the Frankish Duchy and were forced to retreat after paying a heavy price.
As for the Kandla Empire, they suffered heavy losses when they invaded the Kingdom of Ruhr from the south.
Just the first step of the invasion of the Kingdom of Ruhr caused the Kandla Empire to lose over forty thousand elites. Afterwards, the expeditionary army's logistics warehouse was raided by the New Flyer Guards, causing all of their supplies to be destroyed.
Afterwards, the Kandla Empire's expeditionary army was forced to fight a decisive battle against the Kingdom of Ruhr under the leadership of Duke Makaros and the Kingdom of Ruhr Guards and the Kingdom of Ruhr Guards on the Indra Plains to the north of the Kingdom of Ruhr.
This battle could be considered the largest scale battle with the most people participating in the Sines Continent in the past few decades.
The Kandla Empire had invested over a hundred and forty thousand troops, while the Kingdom of Ruhr Guards and the New Flyer Guards had invested less than fifty thousand troops.
Under normal circumstances, with such a disparity in numbers, the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer Guards would be seeking their own deaths if they chose to fight on the plains.
But when the battle truly began, the results of the battle shocked the entire continent.
In less than a day, the outcome of the battle was decided.
In the end, the Kandla Empire's expeditionary army was completely routed. Their casualties exceeded a hundred thousand and only forty thousand managed to escape.
Perhaps this result was still within the acceptable range. After all, in the history of the Sines, there had been many cases of a few winning against many.
But after knowing the losses of the Kingdom of Ruhr Guards and the New Flyer Guards, no one dared to believe such a result.
According to the data released after the battle, the Kingdom of Ruhr Guards and the New Flyer Guards had lost less than three thousand men in this battle!
With less than fifty thousand men against the Kandla Empire's elite army of one hundred and forty thousand, the Kingdom of Ruhr Guards and the Kandla Empire only lost less than three thousand men?
Even in the exaggerated war novels that were popular among the commoners in the Sines, it was impossible to compare the losses of both sides.
This was because everyone believed that this was simply impossible!
But the truth was placed in front of everyone and they had no choice but to believe it.
More importantly, the Kandla Empire had decisively withdrawn their troops from the Kingdom of Ruhr and did not raise any objections to the results announced by the Kingdom of Ruhr.
The Candra Empire army that had been aggressive before, saying that they would destroy all resistance from the Rudson Kingdom in a single month, fell into a deathly silence and didn't make a single sound.
Not long after that, in the beginning of July, the New Flyer Guards disembarked from the southern port of the Duchy of Wales. In less than a week, they completely annihilated the army of the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Kandla Empire that had invaded the Duchy of Wales. Then, they went north and attacked the Kingdom of Ruhr's capital, Ruhr City, and the palace.
Half a month later, the Kingdom of Ruhr was completely under the control of the New Flyer.
The Kandla Empire's army that had been stationed in the Kingdom of Ruhr after the declaration of war was easily defeated by the counterattack of the New Flyer Guards. The remnants of the army returned to the Kandla Empire.
As for the actions of the New Flyer Guards in the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Kandla Empire didn't say anything.
At the same time, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom in the southeast corner of the continent suddenly made their move. In just a month, they had defeated the armies of the three surrounding countries and brought those three countries under their control.
The countries in the southeast corner of the continent that had been opposing the New Flyer with the Kandla Empire instantly lost their voices. The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom easily controlled the situation in this area.
Then it was the end of July.
After defeating the Sack Kingdom's resistance, the Lampari Kingdom controlled the situation in the Sack Kingdom. On the 30th of July, they joined forces with the Drake Duchy to attack the Frankish Kingdom.
The Frankish Kingdom's army fought back with the one hundred thousand army sent by the Malor Empire, but they were defeated again and again before finally being routed.
In the end, the Frankish Kingdom's army was almost completely destroyed and less than forty thousand of the one hundred thousand army of the Malor Empire returned to the Malor Empire.
On the 23rd of August, the Lampari Kingdom and the Drake Duchy attacked the Frankish Kingdom's capital. The Frankish Kingdom's king and royal palace were destroyed in the flames of war and the Frankish Kingdom was declared dead.
On the 10th of September, the Sack Kingdom's king announced that he had surrendered to the Lampari Kingdom.
At this point, the Sack Kingdom had become part of the Lampari Kingdom's territory and the Sack Kingdom had been destroyed.
On the 27th of September, the Drake Duchy and the Lampari Kingdom signed an agreement, splitting the Frankish Kingdom's territory in half. The one hundred and seventy thousand square kilometers of land to the west that was connected to the Drake Duchy would belong to the Drake Duchy and the two hundred and thirty thousand square kilometers of land to the east that was connected to the Malor Empire would belong to the Lampari Kingdom.
After this agreement was announced, the people who knew about it were a bit surprised.
There was no problem with the Drake Duchy's half of the Frankish Kingdom's territory because it was connected to the Drake Duchy, so they could expand the Drake Duchy's territory.
But the Lampari Kingdom's half of the Frankish Kingdom's territory was very problematic.
It could be seen from the map that this half of the land was connected to the Malor Empire to the north, the Kandla Empire to the east, the west and southwest were connected to the Drake Duchy's half of the land, and the south was connected to two small duchies.
In short, there wasn't a single bit of land that was connected to the Lampari Kingdom.
Since it was like this, why did the Lampari Kingdom want this half of the land?
Without a border, it would be very inconvenient to control it.
But not long after, the questions in people's hearts were answered.
On the 17th day of the tenth month, the two neighboring small duchies to the south announced that they would join the Lampari Kingdom.
Like this, if one looked at the map, they would find that because the Lampari Kingdom's northeast side was connected to one of the small duchies, this piece of land would be connected to the Lampari Kingdom.
For this result, most people could only express that it was unexpected, but also reasonable.
If it was anyone else, even the dukes of the two small duchies, they would only have this choice.
If they didn't take the initiative to surrender, would they wait for the Lampari Kingdom's army to attack them?
Before, these two small duchies were under the protection of the Kandla Empire, so they weren't worried about the Lampari Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom having thoughts about them.
But now that they had gone through a war that no one could understand, the Lampari Kingdom had become extremely powerful, while the Kandla Empire had fallen into silence.
In this situation, how could these two small duchies not know what choice to make?
Like this, in less than half a year, the situation in the southwest corner of the Sines Continent had undergone a heaven shaking change.
Not to mention the small duchies, the Sack Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom that were considered powerful kingdoms in the southwest corner of the continent had actually been destroyed, which was very surprising.
Correspondingly, the Lampari Kingdom had become the biggest winner.
After several months of fighting, the Lampari Kingdom had completely swallowed the Sack Kingdom. Adding in the two hundred and forty thousand square kilometers of land they had received from the Frankish Kingdom, the Lampari Kingdom's current territory had reached a shocking one and a half million square kilometers.
This kind of area, when placed in the Sines, it could be considered the largest country other than the two empires.
The second biggest winner was the Drake Duchy.
This small duchy that was sandwiched between the Lampari Kingdom, the Sack Kingdom, and the Frankish Kingdom, with a total area of less than ten thousand square kilometers and a population of less than a hundred thousand, had now swallowed a hundred and seventy thousand square kilometers of land that belonged to the Frankish Kingdom, as well as a total of close to a million people.
This inevitably raised doubts in people's hearts.
Did the Drake Duchy really have such a big appetite to eat these things?
