Temple of the Sun God
Inside the golden house,

Luo Yi pressed her hands against the magic mirror and poured magic into it. The images on the mirror flashed rapidly, changing constantly like a channel being switched.

Ultimately, the magic mirror's screen split into eight, switching to eight different perspectives, reflecting the battlefield in different locations.

Luo Yi only realized after personally trying it out that the magic mirror actually has several modes that can be adjusted independently.

The normal playback is where the Magic Eye Alliance chooses the most exciting battlefield, and then switches to other perspectives after the battle ends.

In reality, the twenty-four magic eyes were divided into eight groups, and each group of three magic eyes had different effects.

For example, high-definition imaging, location locking, sound collection, etc., to recreate the battlefield as much as possible.

Of course, the Magic Eye Alliance is well aware that some things can be broadcast, and some things cannot.
Therefore, they only targeted local battlefields and avoided the command center as much as possible.

Even so, the eight sets of magic eyes locked onto the battlefield and scanned it in real time, broadcasting most of the battle situation and revealing it to a group of powerful legends through the magic mirror.

Virgil the Red Dragon really enjoys watching, but what he cares about most isn't who wins or loses, but what amazing magical weapons the Habsburg Empire has come up with this time.

Or perhaps the Bonaparte Empire has invented some powerful magic or an astonishingly strong army.

Perhaps, for these powerful beings, they are already qualified to tour the world with a spectator's mentality.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor asks them to do something, he still has to use the word "please" and offer enough benefits to motivate them.

Moreover, even legendary powerhouses cannot keep eight screens open at the same time; the information is too much and too dense, and their brains cannot process it all.

Koro can do it!
To be precise, Deep Blue can. Through Loy's eyes, Deep Blue can collect most of the information and analyze it frame by frame.

To this end, Roy even found a map of the Bonaparte Empire, especially of the province of Alsace. Although it wasn't very accurate, it was enough to get a general idea.

Taking advantage of the map, Deep Blue performs real-time analysis of the images presented by the eight sets of magic eyes.

With the addition of information gathered from various sources, the specific details of this battle involving over two million people were basically reconstructed.

Overall, the Habsburg Empire held an absolute advantage!

The First and Second Armies of the Habsburg Empire formed two fronts, left and right, aiming to directly annihilate the allied forces in Alsace Province.

Relying on the power of their magical weapons, they could be said to have swept through the enemy forces with unstoppable momentum.

Although the Bonaparte Empire had amassed a larger army, it was truly a rabble.

They didn't even have the simplest leather armor, and all they carried were rudimentary weapons; many of their spears didn't even have iron tips.

Then they were driven to the battlefield.

Faced with the barrage of magic-powered gunfire, the bombardment of cannons, and the roar of magic-powered flying vehicles overhead, they crumbled almost instantly, unable to mount any semblance of a proper counterattack.

Imperial legions often only need one charge to completely disrupt the formation, kill the leader, and then begin capturing prisoners.

Most prisoners were loaded onto magic trucks and transported to the Empire to perform arduous tasks such as mining and road and bridge construction.

The empire's infrastructure requires a large workforce; what it needs is a sufficient number of people.

Of course, these rabble could also choose to flee.

The problem is that the Allied forces have deployed enough supervising soldiers in the rear, and when it comes to killing, they are far more ruthless than the Imperial Legion soldiers.

They used this method, which was almost a matter of lives, to slow down the Imperial Legion's progress bit by bit.

The two sides engaged in a series of mobile warfare operations across the vast territory of the Bonaparte Empire, characterized by chases, pursuits, and maneuvers, with the two sides advancing from north to south.

The military of the Habsburg Empire is now reporting a string of victories and good news, with more and more happening every day.

The empire is currently in a state of extreme excitement, with everyone from nobles to commoners feeling a deep sense of pride.

They even began to look down on people outside the empire, believing that the empire was the most powerful and would be the new overlord of the Old World, without exception.

Within the Council of Elders, a new argument has emerged—there are too many kingdoms and too many kings in the Old World.

Here, there should only be one voice, and that is the voice of the great Hohenzollern III.

Although this argument was refuted by the cabinet, more than one imperial minister said in public that it was a rumor spread by people with ulterior motives.

But this argument spread like wildfire throughout the Habsburg Empire and even reached other countries.

Undoubtedly, this was the beginning of great militarism, and the empire began to get arrogant after a series of war victories.

But this also reflects Hohenzollern III's ambition; he truly wanted to become the ruler who unified the Old World and create a great and unique undertaking for all time.

Of course, the criticisms from the imperial ministers were also genuine.

The person who first proposed this argument has been arrested by the relevant authorities. After interrogation, his identity was revealed to be that of a spy for the military intelligence department of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

This person was ordered by the Queen to use flattery to his detriment, and since he was a reporter, he decided to go for it after much deliberation.

The results were remarkable, but precisely because they were so effective, he was arrested. However, he also achieved his goal!

The Old World wasn't just home to four great empires; in addition to the empires, there were dozens of kingdoms and hundreds of duchies.

What will the kings and dukes of these countries think when this news comes out?
In particular, the Habsburg Empire had a precedent of taking over the Kingdom of Caroline without saying a word.

Currently, they are only maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, watching the four major forces vie for supremacy, and have not gotten involved.

But if the war goes poorly and the empire's invincibility is shattered, it would be tantamount to pushing them to the side of the allied forces.
At that time, the Empire will truly be able to take on all the forces of the Old World single-handedly.

The imperial ministers could see the disadvantages clearly, but sometimes, knowing them doesn't mean you can change them!
Of course, in any case, the current Habsburg Empire is in high spirits and invincible.

Meanwhile, within the Bonaparte Empire, bad news kept pouring in, and the land was already filled with wailing and lamentation.

Ordinary people had few channels to obtain information, and all they heard were stories of defeat and retreat.

Of course, they didn't have many human rights either. They were conscripted into the army, and once they went to the battlefield, they were just cannon fodder.

Meanwhile, the nobles were already planning to transfer their assets to other countries.

This also led to merchants who used to engage in maritime trade becoming honored guests of the nobility.

Because their ships could help transport money to the Kingdom of Sardinia, or even further afield.

Meanwhile, in Thetiana, the heart of Bonaparte's empire, the cabinet ministers were in an uproar.

These politicians did almost nothing but send letters, documents, and messages to the Imperial Marshal, General Joseph Joffre, the Allied Commander-in-Chief in this war.

Ask him about his strategies and tactics, his counterattack plans, his outlook on the war, and the opportunity to turn defeat into victory...

In any case, they were unwilling to let go of any issue related to the war, as if they had to force the marshal to win a battle immediately in order to alleviate their anxiety.

This anxiety reached its peak when the vanguard of the First Army of the Habsburg Empire arrived dozens of miles outside the city of Luttia.

The problem was that this imperial marshal was also a stubborn person, and he almost ignored them and offered no explanation.

He simply traveled tirelessly throughout the empire, personally visiting battlefields to boost morale while also gaining a true understanding of the actual battle situation.

What he did most was adjust personnel arrangements; he replaced at least three generals of the main combat legions and seven legion commanders of the auxiliary legions.

Seeing his swift and decisive actions, including changing generals on the eve of battle, which finally touched the interests of some people, the cabinet could no longer hold back.

During the war, both sides dispatched a large number of spies to gather information about the other side.

This time, a spy from the Bonaparte Empire sent back a newspaper, which contained an interview with the vanguard.

In the interview, they said that they could see the Eiffel Tower, the most magnificent and imposing building in the Bonaparte Empire, from outside the city.

This news ignited all the fear among the imperial ministers and nobles.

Using this as a topic, they submitted a series of petitions, impeaching this incompetent and powerless marshal and demanding that he step down.

They even began discussing candidates, searching for a marshal who could bring them victory.

In other words, Napoleon III's trust in Marshal Joffre was so great that he suppressed all dissenting opinions.

It is worth mentioning that during this time, the support from the Kingdom of Sardinia finally arrived.

Following the two hundred large warships, the army summoned by the Queen of Sardinia, totaling thirty thousand men (claiming to be one hundred thousand), officially landed.

They even gave themselves a resounding name: the Expeditionary Legion!
Unfortunately, after landing, they charged aggressively at the main force of the Habsburg Empire, only to suffer another humiliating defeat.

After that, they ran even faster than the Bonaparte Empire's legions.

They even managed to escape using Sardinian ships, so much so that even Marshal Joffre couldn't find them.

It was a joke on the battlefield!
However, when Luo Yi shifted his gaze from the magic mirror to the deep blue virtual sandbox in his eyes, his expression changed slightly.

Virgil the red dragon seemed to notice the change in Roy's expression, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Yi pursed her lips and said, "I feel like something's not right!"

"What do you mean?"

"If this continues, it seems the Imperial Legion is going to suffer losses!"

Red Dragon Virgil looked incredulous: "You mean the Habsburg Empire's army is going to lose?"
Are you kidding me?

"You think I would joke about something like this?!"

"Then I'd like to hear your insightful opinion."
