Chapter 215 The Time to Invade the World Has Ripe

In March of the 136th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Orc Empire suffered a series of defeats under the offensive of the Human Empire.

The iron hooves of human warriors shattered the frozen earth, and the battle flag, burning with the will of the Loyal Heart Society, fluttered in the howling wind.

The once invincible orc empire is now tasting the bitterness of being humiliated and whipped by its former predators.

Under the precise, war-machine-like advance of the human empire, the orcish empire's defenses crumbled one after another.

[On the border, ancient totem poles symbolizing orcish rule were demolished by human engineering forces, replaced by human boundary markers deeply embedded in the earth, flowing with runic light.]

Three important provinces connecting the orcish heartland with the strategic borders—Iron Wasteland, Bloodclaw, and Howling Fury—successively fell to the iron hooves of the human empire's army.

The orcish legions, known for their ferocity, crumbled at the first touch before this unprecedented human conquest.

[The orc emperor Grom, facing mountains of defeat reports every day, his once rugged face, which had looked down upon the world, was now filled with worry.]

Each urgent military dispatch was like a thorny branch dipped in boiling oil and salt, lashing him mercilessly at his once arrogant declarations.

He once sat on his throne and scoffed at humanity, comparing them to burrowing rats and ants, utterly unworthy of a laugh.

But now, these rats and ants have invaded his province, slaughtered his people, and their tyrannical policies, especially their unrestrained use of force, have enraged the orcish empire's leadership.

Even though the Orcish Empire responded forcefully, stating that for every Orc citizen killed by the Human Empire, the Orcish Empire would execute ten human slaves.

However, this statement received no response from the human empire.

Although it is cruel, the slaves within the Orc Empire are the most miserable, desolate, and suffering human slaves.

From the moment the human empire turned its sword against the orc empire, the fate of these human slaves of the orc empire was sealed.

Everyone is mentally prepared.

Therefore, the threat posed by the orcish empire was utterly ineffective in the eyes of the human empire.

Even after the orcish empire began slaughtering human slaves, the human empire's actions after breaching the orcish empire's defenses became increasingly brutal.

[Using every means possible!]

They wanted to make these damned orcs feel the pain they had suffered.

[In this process, it's inevitable that some self-righteous individuals will voice their opinions, claiming that orcs lack morality and ethics, but as the founders of the human empire, we need to have morality and ethics.]

[Does a dog bite us and then bite us back?]

In response to such comments, some people said that while he might not bite a dog, he would kill the dog that did bite him!

The radicals of the human empire severely injured him, gouging out both of his eyes.

[Afterwards, the radical said, "I'm a dog, I'll bite you, I hope you won't bite me back."]

[The orc killed his own family and friends, and ate his beloved family and friends.]

In the face of such deep-seated racial hatred, brutality becomes nothing more than a defining characteristic!

Anyone who claims to have abandoned cruelty and treated others with kindness is either stupid or evil!

In contrast to the radical and excited atmosphere within the human empire, the entire high council of the orcish empire was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

The hall, once filled with roars and howls, is now deathly silent.

They racked their brains but could not understand: how could a group of humans scattered across the world, serving as slaves and food, transform from loose refugees into terrifying war monsters in just a few short years?

This force is as deep and untamed as an abyss, overwhelming and difficult to resist.

Their intensity, organization, discipline, and the technological equipment and tactical coordination far exceeding their comprehension completely overturned their understanding of the world's underlying rules!

What chilled the orcish empire's leadership and even the transcendent beings of the entire world of Sophia to the bone was that the human empire's power was not merely reflected in the crushing superiority of its lower-ranking units.

As the human army penetrated deep into the heart of the orcish empire, sweeping through cities and fortresses with unstoppable momentum, the orcs were finally forced to reveal their trump card, the one they relied on to intimidate the world.

[That is a pillar of the empire, a ninth-rank powerhouse, guarding the front lines of the abyss against the demonic corruption!]

Three ninth-rank orc warlords, carrying forbidden weapons capable of inducing celestial phenomena, attempted to extinguish the human offensive.

[Even a demigod shaman, preoccupied with the bloody battle on the front lines of the Abyss and unable to spare a clone, condensed a portion of his power and descended upon the battlefield across a distant spatial barrier in order to aid the Orc Empire.]

This should have been a game-changer in an instant; such terrifying power should have wiped out the entire human army, along with the land they stood on.

However, this demigod projection, powerful enough to shake an entire era, was precisely struck by a beam of light emanating from behind the human empire's army or from deeper within the void the moment it appeared on the battlefield.

The light might be an integrated array of magic beyond comprehension, or a terrifying creation highly condensed from the power of the world's rules; there was no earth-shattering collision, no protracted tug-of-war of mana consumption.

In a mere instant, absolute annihilation enveloped the demigod's projection.

The demigod projection, capable of altering the course of events and suppressing an empire, vanished into thin air.

This scene, like a divine punishment from the heavens, completely stunned all the observers high above the world of Sophia.

[Not only the Orc Empire, but also powerful forces such as the Elf Empire, the Dwarf Empire, and the Dragon Kingdom are now shocked by the power unleashed by the human empire.]

After all, among all the major powers, it's perfectly normal for humans to be at the bottom of society, even used as food.

But now, suddenly the slave class has risen up, and has even crushed the world's most powerful orc empire.

Even the usually composed Elf Queen was somewhat unsettled upon seeing the battle reports from the border front.

In July of the 136th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Human Empire's Expeditionary Army and the Orc Empire's Ironblood Army clashed in their most direct and direct battle on the vast Arnebe Plains.

The Orcish Empire held immense expectations for this war. They believed that the human empire's previous glorious victories were merely the result of cunning, exploiting terrain, and attacks from behind by forces beyond their comprehension.

[If we lure the main human forces to this flat, open battlefield, perfect for the orcs' frenzied charge, we can crush the human army in a direct confrontation, relying on the strength of our orc warriors.]

The Orcish Empire desperately needs a glorious, overwhelming victory that will remind the world of the Orcs' honor once again!

But for the human empire, especially the Red Heart Society, they only care about results!

[As long as we win the war, it doesn't matter whether it's glorious or not!]

[If they keep winning, even the butcher can be transformed into a revered hero.]

[But the Orcish Empire awaits on the vast plains along their inevitable route, and the Red Heart Society is not afraid!]

Isn't it just a direct battlefield?

Since the foolish orcs have willingly abandoned all their terrain advantages, as if seeking death, and opened their arms to meet the sharpest blade of the human empire, how could the Red Heart Society not gladly accept them?

Far from avoiding war, they see it as a golden opportunity!

[By launching an unprecedented frontal battlefield victory, the backbone of the entire Orc Empire and even all alien forces in the world of Sophia was completely shattered.]

[Let their pride in their fighting prowess, confidence, and the very foundations of their civilization be crushed on the plains of Arunbena!]

Thus, when the Ironblood Army prepared to crush the human empire's conquering forces in a fair and square battle, they discovered they were terribly wrong!

In this direct confrontation, the human empire's conquest forces revealed their true fangs.

[This is no longer a trick, nor is it about relying on terrain; rather, it is a perfect demonstration of a super war system honed and trained under the Red Heart Society model.]

Suddenly, countless extremely complex geometric runes lit up the massive human army formation, creating a chain reaction of life and energy resonance between the various unit types.

[At this moment, the power of the individual beast tamer and their contracted battle beast resonates and amplifies beyond its limits under the blessing of a collective will and a magical array.]

The battlefield became an extreme display of power and a one-sided massacre.

The last crown of the Orcish Empire—the Ironblood Army, along with the pride and hope of their Emperor Grom—was utterly crushed to dust by the human empire in the most righteous and honorable way on the vast green land of Arrenbena.

[At the same time, other forces' pessimistic views on the human empire also crumbled.]

Following this battle, the Human Empire, in the guise of an unprecedented new order, issued an ultimatum—without any room for negotiation—to all known powerful forces worldwide through a magical communication network and special envoys.

[From this moment on!]

[Tracing the Birth of the Human Empire!]

[All nations and races that treat humans as slaves, livestock, property, or food for sustenance, regardless of their beliefs, political systems, or power, have been formally included in our list of blood feuds!]

The human empire will exhaust all its power and spare no expense to pursue this matter to the ends of the earth, delivering the most thorough, fierce, and uncompromising judgment and revenge!

These words sent shockwaves through the entire world of Sofia.

To put it bluntly, the declaration of the Human Empire is practically tantamount to declaring war on the entire world.

However, the Human Empire's dazzling military achievements have also caused concern among all nations.

Even the proudest elven empire, under warning from the human empire, sent all its human slaves out of its borders.

After all, for the elves, even if there were no humans, there were other races to enslave!

Of course, only a lucky few will be able to be sent away.

Most slaves in the Elven Empire were either hidden away or publicly tortured and killed by their masters.

Even though the Elf Queen herself gave the order, human slaves are the private property of the elves!

[Especially to the high elves, these creatures of flesh and blood were born to be their property.]

If the High Court strips me of the right to possess them, then their only rightful destiny is to return them completely to the earth and become part of the forest that nourishes it!

When the human empire learned of this, the elven empire, considering the human empire's power, immediately offered what it considered a satisfactory explanation.

At the same time, they are willing to provide some resources as compensation.

Killing their own slaves and then having to compensate outsiders—for the proud elves, this was already a considerable concession.

This is a disgrace!

However, given the power of the human empire, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

However, the human empire's fierce reaction took everyone by surprise.

While waging war against the Orcish Empire, the Human Empire disregarded the overall situation and declared war on the Elven Empire!

[Immediately afterwards, another expeditionary force of the human empire marched towards the location of the elven empire.]

Blood for blood!

【Fight until death! 】

[And as the human empire expands dramatically, the will of the Crimson Heart World responds fully to you.]

The time is ripe!

[The global-scale invasion can begin!]
