Chapter 220 Land Cessation Compensation, Emperor Kukan's Sao Operation
As news spread of the orc army capturing over ten provinces, the entire Kukaen Empire was filled with fear and unease.
This is one-fifth of the empire's territory!
At this rate...
The Kukaen Empire seems to be in danger of being completely defeated.
They have sensed the crisis of their nation being destroyed.
The high-level officials of the Kukaen Empire are also anxious.
They immediately accelerate the speed of mobilizing troops and gather more soldiers and horses, attempting to intercept the offensive of the beast-human army.
At the same time, we sought help from the other four human empires.
After all.
The Orc Empire and the Elf Empire joined forces.
The Kukaan Empire is definitely no match for them.
If we don't seek help soon.
The empire will truly perish.
We received a plea for help from the Kukaan Empire.
The reactions from the other four empires were also very swift.
A prompt response will be given soon.
Agreed to send troops to assist the Kukaen Empire in fighting against the alliance of the Orc Empire and the Elf Empire.
There are three factors that led to such a straightforward agreement.
First, this incident was caused by all five major empires together.
Second, if the armies of the Orcs and Elves are allowed to destroy the Kukaen Empire, the power of the human forces will greatly decline. Everyone understands the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
Third, when the Kukaen Empire requested assistance, they also made veiled threats. If the four major empires refuse to support and remain indifferent, the Kukaen Empire does not rule out the possibility of surrendering and turning to the side of the Orcs and Elves.
By then, the Orcs and Elves will be able to use the territory of the Kukaen Empire as a springboard to attack their own territories. This is unacceptable to the four major empires.
After agreeing to send troops, the four major empires also acted very quickly, swiftly dispatching a large number of elite soldiers to support the Southern Kukaen Empire.
The alliance of the five human empires vs. the Elf Empire + the Orc Empire.
In the coming period,
The Kukaen Empire is undoubtedly engulfed in war.
Today, the Human Alliance has recaptured a province.
Tomorrow, the Orc and Elven Empires will launch a fierce attack to retake it.
Both sides are engaged in intense battles, with the situation being extremely deadlocked.
Such a fierce large-scale war.
Even Rennes, who is determined to stay out of it, is extremely busy.
He frequently takes action, fighting against enemy demigods.
In the process,
Rennes forcefully kills a 22nd-level Orc demigod and severely injures three mid-level demigods above level 24.
His reputation soars.
Having suffered such a big loss,
They realize Rennes' incredibly strong combat power.
Afterwards, when facing Rennes again, both the Humans and Elves deploy three or more mid-level demigods to support each other.
Regarding this,
Rennes also knows when to stop.
He doesn't continue to kill other demigods, stimulating the sensitive nerves of the opposing side.
If he were to expose all his cards,
He is confident in defeating the three mid-level demigods working together.
He might even find the right opportunity to kill them all.
But doing so would attract too much attention.
He would definitely end up on the Orc and Elven Empires' hit list.
It might even provoke the intervention of the Orc's main deity.
By then,
He would be in danger.
There are no substantial benefits.
To risk so much for a fleeting reputation, only a fool would do that.
To be honest,
If it weren't for achieving some merits,
To avoid being held accountable for the potential destruction of the Human Alliance,
He would have long continued to stay out of it.
How could he be so high-profile, killing an Orc demigod and severely injuring three others?
After accumulating enough merits,
Rennes immediately resumed his slacking off mode.
Each time he took action, it was mainly to engage in close combat.
To restrain the opponent's semi-divine combat power.
This high-intensity large-scale war lasted for nearly three months.
Neither side gained much advantage, and neither could do anything to the other.
Coupled with the enormous consumption brought about by the war.
Both sides did not want to continue fighting.
After some negotiations,
the five human empires officially reached a ceasefire agreement with the orc empire and the elven empire.
This large-scale war, with its massive scale and fierce fighting, ended in a whimper like this.
In this war,
the orc empire and the Kukarn empire suffered the greatest losses.
After all, the main battlefield was the territory of these two empires.
Regardless of the loss of soldiers and supplies,
almost one-third of their territory was turned into wasteland.
It would be difficult to recover for several decades or even hundreds of years.
However,
the orc empire suffered slightly less losses than the Kukarn empire.
Because according to the ceasefire agreement signed by both sides, the orc empire could select three provinces from the occupied areas as compensation.
And what about the Kukarn empire?
In order to quickly end this war with no benefits and avoid more territories being attacked by the flames of war, the losses were even more severe.
0... Asking for flowers...
In the end, they could only grit their teeth and agree to this condition.
It has to be said,
the Kukarn empire really suffered a huge loss this time.
They didn't gain any benefits, suffered heavy military losses, and had to cede territory as compensation.
Such a big defeat has already shaken the foundation of the empire.
The internal public opinion pressure within the empire is also very high.
Many imperial nobles have begun to question the ability of the Kukarn royal family.
In order to ensure the dignity and rule of the royal family,
Rennes naturally became the scapegoat for Emperor Kukarn.
After all.
Rennes followed the Human Alliance in attacking the Orc Empire and did not die in battle.
In addition, his status was high enough to participate in the entire war.
As the scapegoat for the war's failure, it couldn't be more appropriate.
Just like that.
Not only did Rennes not receive any commendation for killing the enemy demigod and delivering intelligence.
Instead, he was held accountable.
Even his title was reduced by one level, from Duke to Marquis.
Of course.
Emperor Kukaen also knew that the war's failure had little to do with Rennes himself.
He had privately spoken to Rennes as well.
Once the storm passed, he would find an opportunity to restore Rennes' title.
At the same time, he also provided Rennes with many rare magical materials that were hard to find outside.
Even so.
Rennes still felt very unhappy about being the scapegoat for others.
He didn't want to get involved in this war caused by the divine beings in the first place.
But he was conscripted by the emperor.
Not only was he involuntarily dragged into it, but he also received such a result after putting in a lot of effort.
Who could feel at ease with this in their heart?
With the system as his golden finger.
He lacked almost nothing.
He didn't care about those so-called compensations at all.
Thinking like this.
Rennes' goodwill towards the Kukaen Imperial Family completely turned into a negative number.
If there is a chance in the future.
He wouldn't mind stabbing the Kukaen Imperial Family.
Or, after having enough strength, pulling them down and making the Habs Family the imperial family of the Kukaen Empire.
Adjusting his mood.
Rennes left the imperial capital of the Kukaen Empire, Zidra City.
He had been away from home for half a year.
Now that the war was over.
If he didn't return home soon, his wives would be worried.
