Chapter 170 (1/2)

In fact, Rody very htaway lead his troops to attack the Northern Roland Continent It was not good for tens and thousands of the soldiers to guard the North and just wait for the enemy to attack

The northern provinces of the Empire were not fertile The land there was barren and was not suitable for producing food For centuries, whenever there was a war between the two continents, that location would be the front line Even if it was not the battlefield frontline, it was still the forward position

For centuries, these provinces of the Empire were commonly known to the Empire as the war zone

The Radiant Empire had control of an entire continent No dom on the Northern Roland continent Only a coalition of all the kingdoms on the Roland Continent could compete with the Empire

For centuries, there werethe reign of Abbas the Great After forreatest Emperor in the history of the Empire decided to conquer the Northern Continent, the only land not yet conquered

Unfortunately, Abbas the Great could not unify the two continents The Lightning God's Whip could not even stop the valiant arrasslands Hence, he could only lah at the vast ocean

The E The fourall the garrisons from the provinces, the number of soldiers in the Empire reached nearly two million This number did not include the reserve troops

The Empire had well-equipped infantry and powerful warriors There were also brave arriors under the banner of the Tulip Family and the Radiant Continent'sGod's Whip

However, the Empire had one major weakness — the navy

Dandong lamented when he was still alive He said that if the Ith of the Lightning God's Whip, then it would not be a dream to conquer the Roland Continent

Besides its coe of a navy derives from its warshi+ps Unfortunately, the Imperial Navy could only be considered third-rate when compared to its infantry and cavalry In fact, it was not even third-rate

Historically, the Radiant Empire had failed in their attacks on the Roland Continent because of its weak navy These failures happened three tin

During the first atte and powerful navy Naturally, it was considered 'powerful' in the opinion of Abbas the Great Unfortunately, the cruel reality made the Emperor furious

The Imperial Navy was almost annihilated in the Strait of Thunder Very shaeneral of the Northern Navy, whoh hopes on, was captured by the people of Roland

The second time was a little bit better Abbas the Great knew he could not rely on the navy and decided to use his powerful cavalries During that crusade, the Imperial Navy only played the role of a transporter As the coastline was long, the opponents could not block everywhere There would be a suitable place for landing It was history's largest marine transportation The people from the Roland Continent sank a few shi+ps But finally, one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers set foot on the Roland Continent The Lightning God's Whip and their horses finally gained a foothold on the Roland Continent!

However, the subsequent situation once again fell into a predicament

The one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers who landed on the Roland Continent were almost annihilated and only ten thousand soldiers were taken as prisoners of war The Ee sum of money to redeem the prisoners

This time, the Empire lost two hundred thousand elite soldiers Abbas the Great was undoubtedly very furious The Strait of Thunder seemed like an impassable natural trench It steadfastly blocked the Eress and protected the Roland continent

Then for the third crusade, the people of the Roland continent o to their head

After the Edoms in the Northern Roland continent believed that the Empire in the South was not that powerful and finally decided to attack the South

Their powerful navy sailed unie number of troops set foot on the Radiant continent The ardoroups They intended to conquer the Southern continent in one fell swoop

The ocean belonged to the Roland people but the land was still the forte of the Radiant Empire

During the first tars, the Empire had lost many brave soldiers and elite cavalry and powerful Most importantly the Empire still had the Duke of the Tulip Family

It was also during the third crusade when the sage Dandong appeared nobody knehere this great man appeared from but he had helped the Duke of the Tulip Fae weapons during the war, had endless wisdoe mindset

After landing, the troops from the Roland continent had traveled far inland In the end, two of their large armies were defeated by the Duke of the Tulip Family such that they were forced to retreat to the sea But in that war, although the Empire had eventually repelled the ene overthrown in their own land

The only bright spot was the appearance of Dandong

The people of the E as to how Abbas the Great would take revenge on the Roland Continent After all, even though he was able to conquer the entire Radiant Continent, he was being attacked in his own land It was the sha for him to counter attack

However, Abbas the Great's strength lies in hison the ave the order to stop fighting against the troops on the Roland Continent

The three failed crusades had caused the Empire to shed too much blood The natural barrier had prevented the conquest Until a solution to resolve that proble the ould undoubtedly only be a waste of the precious lives of the Empire's warriors

That hy the navy was forever the humiliation of the Empire

The warshi+ps of the Empire's navy were naturally much much weaker compared to the warshi+ps of the Roland Continent The Roland Continent produced a strange ironwood Ironas different froht as ordinary wood It was undoubtedly the bestWith that special material, the people of the Roland Continent created the world's most advanced warshi+ps and the most powerful sea fortresses

Regrettably, that ironwood could not be found on the Radiant Continent

Historically, the Empire had secretly tried to import those woods but failed That was because the people in the Roland Continent knew the value of the wood and prevented it froh a lot of effort, the Es of that tree

Unfortunately, they were disappointed with the results

Due to the differences in the climate and soil, the transplanted ironwood trees in the Radiant Continent could not survive The majority of the trees perished within a month On the rare occasions that they survived, the quality of the as much worse than the ironwood in the North The areatly reduced

As a result, the Roland Continent's proud navy stillof the Strait of Thunder

Of course, the things Rody kneere a little different from the historical records

According to Dandong's notes, Rody, at the very least, knew that the ironwood trees could be successfully transplanted on the Radiant Continent
