Chapter 1163 – Arab Empire

4th month, 3rd day, the Peacock Dynasty’s army was on the way down south and bumped into the Hanoi legion corps that was in charge of border defense. The two sides engaged in a heated battle that resulted in a fairly even fight. Hence, their road down south was cut off.

Even so, Piao Country’s morale soared.

The assistance of the Peacock Dynasty not only let Piao Country see hope of turning the tides of war, but it also let the other war zones see the light. They hoped for more powers to interfere and join this huge war.

The second to jump in was the Arab Empire.

The Arab Empire was west of the Persian Gulf, east of the Red Sea, and was an ocean across North Africa. It was formed from 10 odd countries with around 14 million players, together becoming the West Asia region.

In the merging process, the imperial city guards all changed into troops of the empire. The current Arab Empire had no imperial city guards, but the empire army had reached a humongous two million.

Be it territory or scale of its army, the Arab Empire was a presence that could not be neglected.

When Great Xia slowly lost control of the ocean regions connecting the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea, Suez Canal, and Mediterranean Ocean, the Arab Empire had jumped out to seize the control of the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.

One must know that trading was one of the key pillars of the Arab Empire. The Arabs were natural businessmen, and after Great Xia opened up the voyage trading path, one could see fervent Arab Traders everywhere.

Controlling the Red Sea had a huge meaning to the Arab Empire.

At such a time, naturally Arab Empire was not willing to let Great Xia take down Ethiopia and strengthen their presence in the region because would only add difficulties to their plans.

Toward this, Great Xia’s attitude was adamant.

4th month, 4th day, the Arab Dynasty tried to send an army over the Red Sea to assist Ethiopia. Unfortunately, halfway through the journey, they were intercepted by the Great Xia Indian Ocean Squadron and were sunk.

To facilitate the Battle of Ethiopia, the 2nd and 3rd divisions of the Indian Ocean Squadron patrolled the Gulf of Aden ocean region every day. The Arab Empire itself was not famous for its navy, so how would it dare to go head to head against the Great Xia Indian Ocean Squadron?

Who would have known that their determination was quite big?

After suffering from their first setback, they were not dejected and started to contact the Lords in the Mediterranean to use the navy advantage there to help interfere in the Battle of Ethiopia.

In recent days, the armies of the Mediterranean countries that attacked Morocco had already returned to their territories. Facing the invitations from the Arab Empire, many of them were glad to accept.

The most eager one was Caesar’s Rome City.

Their eagerness added a lot of uncertainty to the Battle of Ethiopia.

Shanhai City, Xia Palace.

Ouyang Shuo placed down the battle report. He frowned as he said, “The Arab Empire thieves have not given up.”

Apart from being rich in oil, the Arab Empire did not have much in other types of resources. Oil in the current game background was not much of a strategic resource.

Even Great Xia Dyansty, which was pushing out industrialization on a full scale, had a limited need for oil. Just the oil fields in China were enough to satisfy the needs of industrialization.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo had not paid much attention to the Arab Empire before this. Who would have known that they would become a tripping rock in front of Great Xia?

After the Indian Ocean Squadron sent them a warning, they did not stop in their tracks.

If the Battle of Ethiopia dragged on, it would be really bad for Great Xia. Not only would they face logistical pressures, but it would also cause neighboring territories to fight back. If things went badly, they would be pulled into the quicksand of war, unable to pull themselves out of it.

Regretfully, Great Xia had no troops to send now.

Within their borders, apart from the Eagle and Beijiang Legion corps, all the remnant forces were at war. The Eagle Legion Corps needed to defend against West Xia and Tibet, while the Beijiang legion corp sneeded to defend against Great Zhou and Romanov Dynasty.

Neither of them could be moved away.

The only thing that could be used was that trump card in Ouyang Shuo’s hand.

Just as he was ready to move, a System Notification suddenly sounded on in his ear.

“World Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for taking down Johor, your reputation spreads far and wide, specially awarded 50 thousand merit points and 100 thousand reputation points, congratulations players.”

Sun Bin finally lived up to expectations and took down Putrajaya at the crucial moment, taking down Johor Peninsula and sending Johor to hell. He won the Imperial Court their first country war victory in this round.

The day that Johor was wiped out, the situation for Great Xia got better.

The Tiger Legion Corps took a slight rest before they immediately went up north to assist the Piao Country battlefield.

Peacock Dynasty sent one legion corps, and Great Xia increased their troops by one more legion corps. Under such circumstances, the Piao Country camp did not have any advantage.

In terms of combat strength, the Peacock Dynasty army could not be compared to the Great Xia army.

“Now, it’s time to see how the Peacock Dynasty reacts.” Ouyang Shuo’s expression instantly became relaxed. He came to the front of the window and looked toward the distant west.

India Region, Gupta Dynasty.

Peacock Dynasty belonged to the Silver Hand camp, while the Gupta Dynasty belonged to the Azure Badge camp.

Maybe because they had failed to acclimatize, but Azure Badge was not doing as well as Silver Hand in the game. They were scattered across the globe and were not forming into a good system.

Many of their territories went head to head with Silver Hand in their respective regions but were unable to occupy the main spot.

India was a perfect example.

Johor and Piao Country could be considered important members of Azure Badge and were one of the rare few that occupied a region. The fall of Johor was a huge loss to Azure Badge.

Azure Badge could not accept it if Piao Country fell.

However, Gupta Dynasty was not connected to Piao, and the ocean route was locked down by Great Xia. Even if they wanted to assist, they could not. Their heavy rival, Peacock Dynasty, would not let them pass through their land.

“No, we have to discuss with Great Xia.”

Since they could not settle it using military, Azure Badge was ready to take the diplomatic route.

Peacock Dynasty, Bangalore City.

The moment the notification of Johor being wiped out was released, Durava frowned and viciously said, “Useless, they could not even last for half a month.”

From the 3rd month, 22nd day when Great Xia declared war to the 4th month, 5th day when Johor fell, only 14 days had passed.

The destruction of Johor placed Peacock Dynasty in an awkward position.

Before the start of the war, Peacock Dynasty king had released arrogant words saying that he was going to throw two legion corps into the Piao Country battlefield. Seeing that the Tiger Legion Corps was coming up north, it was time for him to keep his promise.

The problem was that even if he threw in another legion corps now, he would not be able to obtain victory in the Battle of Piao. At most, he would maintain a stalemate.

“Increase troops or not, that was the question.”

Luckily, Great Xia did not give Peacock Dynasty too much time to ponder. On the 4th month, 8th day, the Bear Legion Corps that travelled through Tibet smoothly arrived at the north border of Peacock Dynasty, starting a war against Peacock Dynasty.

When the country war System Notification sounded out, the first reaction of the Indian players was, “Is Great Xia crazy? They actually dare to provoke us?”

In truth, India had the power to be arrogant.

Even if Great Xia went all out, they would not be able to take down India. Not to mention the fact that Great Xia was fighting on three fronts and had no strength to provoke India.

Following which, they felt endless amounts of rage.

“We need to teach Great Xia a lesson. India is not so easily provoked!”

“Fight!”

All of a sudden, many people sought to go to war.

As the two biggest regions in Asia, China and India did not see eye to eye. The players of the two regions did not like one another and saw themselves as the best game region.

These feelings were naturally reflected on the battlefield.

The moment Great Xia declared war, the India region was pumped up and clamoring to fight a large war.

The problem was that history had proved time and time again that players were not the stars of country wars. Especially after the 6th system update, where the ability of players to affect country wars was reduced to the lowest point.

First, the soldiers were strengthened, and secondly, the players were all separated to different parts of the territory, unlike before where they all stayed in the imperial city.

Along with the real time update of the achievement value, a layer of hesitation and fear was added to the players.

As a result, there was a really interesting phenomenon. The Indian players were really loud on the forums, but those who actually rushed to the frontlines were a rare few.

The players were hoping for the territory armies to handle such an invader.

The main one was naturally the Peacock Dynasty.

Thinking back to the Battle of Piao that the Peacock Dynasty had just interfered in, the Indian players had more of an excuse, “Great Xia started this country war to target Peacock Dynasty to make them pull out of Piao.”

“Peacock Dynasty needs to solve this problem themselves.”

With such a mindset, the players were more willing to be bystanders. The reason being that the Indian Players did not feel that Great Xia could take down India. Hence, they had no fear of things spiraling out of control.

Not only the players, but even Gupta Dynasty and the other territories did not do much apart from making noise. Who knows, maybe they were gloating in silence.

Now, it was time to see how the Peacock Dynasty would react.
