I, the yellow-haired noble, hypnotize the beautiful wife from another world

After these words were spoken, the girls present sighed or breathed a sigh of relief one by one.

In any case, Aslan's choice was not unexpected, and was even natural.

But very quickly, their emotions turned from relief to worry.

According to incomplete intelligence, the Jade Empire's army that broke through the White Sea was quite large. There were rumors that the Dark Elf Queen had dispatched 50,000 troops, while others claimed that they had dispatched 100,000 or even 200,000 troops.

Many more exaggerated intelligence reports even showed that the Jade Empire was out in full force. The Dark Elf Queen personally led an army of five million to annex the entire Beast Tide Wasteland in one go.

Of course, if they were really that stupid, Aslan wouldn't have to worry.

Five million soldiers have to eat and feed the horses, and the logistics have to be transported across the sea. The food alone can bankrupt the Jade Empire. If the empress dares to do this, she will end up like the second Emperor Yang of Sui in a minute. Aslan doesn't have to worry about whether to fight or not.

"It's just an exaggeration. Let's estimate that the enemy has 100,000 troops. Of course, if I were the Queen of the Dark Elf, I would take it step by step. I would first build ports and fortresses in the southern Klim Peninsula to carry out immigration and trade. Then I would gradually nibble away at the Beast Tide Wasteland.

Anyway, with the strength of the Jade Empire and the long standby time of the dark elves, it is enough for them to swallow up and digest the entire Beast Tide Wasteland bit by bit, step by step. Even if it takes a hundred or even two hundred years, it is not impossible.

"If that's the case, we're in a passive position."

Aslan thought to himself: "I must accumulate strength at a faster pace."

"In the face of a massive invasion by dark elves, it shouldn't be a big deal if I increase the number of puppets."

……

In this way, the boy made up his mind and gave a speech in the shortest possible time:

"We decided to go to the Beast Tide Wasteland."

"The main purpose of going to the Beast Tide Wasteland this time is not to expand the territory, but to resist the invasion of evil."

"The evil dark elves have spread their evil hands deep into this land."

"We have to say this is our sadness and our failure."

"In the fifty years since the Beast Tide War, the nations of justice, order, and light have not been able to restore order in that land, and even gave that land a humiliating name, 'Beast Tide Wasteland'."

“But that’s not the case.”

"We should all remember the city that was once built on that land."

“Those temples, those great castles towering into the sky, and the various murals painted by skilled craftsmen.”

"We also cannot forget the tens of thousands of war horses, the grasslands covered with cattle and sheep, the endless golden wheat fields, the thousands of textile workers and the countless hardworking and simple people there."

"Now, we have to pay the price for our mistakes once again."

"The evil dark elves also have their eyes on that land."

"They have established an extremely powerful dark empire relying on their huge army, terrible magic and despicable tactics."

"If they are allowed to take control of the Beast Tide Wasteland, the Dark Empire's power will be unmatched."

“We have to stop this from happening.”

"What makes me very sad is that the nobles of the Golden Eagle Empire are still only concerned with their own interests and are waging war at this time. It seems that they cannot see the crisis that is imminent, and are still quarreling and fighting with their neighbors and relatives over property."

"It's a very sad thing, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"There is only one thing I can do."

"Starting today, the Crusader Knights will declare war on the Jade Empire."

"The Crusader Knights will head south to stop the evil dark elves from annexing the entire Beast Tide Zone."

"I will personally lead my warriors to fight on the front line to stop evil."

"This is indeed very dangerous and very scary. So some people will ask me, is it really worth it? Do we really want to leave our homes, our relatives and friends, and fight against the most evil and crazy enemy in the world for a piece of land thousands of kilometers away from us?!"

"My answer is, yes, it's worth it! We are fighting not only for justice and faith, but also for survival!"

"We are fighting not only for our own survival, but also for the survival of our descendants!"

"This is the most just, sacred, correct and necessary thing in the world."

"If there is anyone in this world who must do something so thankless but necessary, then let it start with me! I will fight on the front line against evil, and I will never regret it even if I die nine times!!"

……

Following Aslan's speech, the Crusaders began to prepare their army to march south to the Beast Wasteland and to make diplomatic efforts in preparation for the advance.

However, for now, except for the Maldero people who have a certain trade with the Crusaders, all forces in the Beast Tide Wasteland are not very willing to allow powerful foreign forces to intervene.

Although they were terrified of the dark elves coming from the south, they still wanted to solve the problem the old way - if any force was too prominent, they would unite to kill it.

The various forces in the Beast Tide Wasteland are quite experienced in forming coalition forces, and they never get tired of it.

They believed that things were not as serious as Aslan said, and they would form a coalition as they had done in the past and drive away the dark elves with powerful force.

In this regard, even the heirs of the beast tide, who were mortal enemies to the point of irreconcilability, were the same as the heirs of the old kingdom and the pioneers of the human kingdom. Although they would not form an alliance in name, in reality, both sides would cooperate tacitly.

"So there is absolutely no need for any inexplicable crusade to help."

The bandit lords and adventurer leaders in the Beast Tide Wasteland said boldly and mercilessly: "We can solve the problems here by ourselves. We don't welcome them. That kid named Aslan should just stay in the ice and snow of the North Territory and don't worry about the things here!"

The Malderos did not participate in these discussions because of their relationship with Aslan, but that did not mean that they welcomed Aslan. In fact, they did not want the Crusaders to intervene. It was just because of the benefits of the current trade with the Crusaders and the dangers of being at odds with the Crusaders that the Malderos held a delicate state of "support". When faced with Aslan's diplomatic inquiries, they used diplomatic rhetoric similar to that of the British.

Aslan had anticipated this situation.

He continued to beat his chest and say that he was very sad, while he continued to wait silently for what would happen next.

It would be great if those guys in the Beast Tide Wasteland could solve this problem. It is much better to lose face a little than to lose a strategic opportunity.

But if those guys were defeated by the dark elves' army...

That's still a good thing.

The Crusaders just happened to have the best opportunity to intervene in the Beast Tide Wasteland.

Even though this opportunity came too soon and at the wrong time, Aslan would seize it firmly anyway.

Chapter 59: Formal Dispatch of Troops

By the end of March in 1002, Aslan and the Crusaders continued to carefully monitor the news from the Beast Tide Wasteland, and confirmed that many lords and adventurer settlements there had formed an alliance. At the same time, the successors of the Beast Tide formed another alliance.

The two allied forces did not communicate with each other, but they formed a pincer attack relatively tacitly, advancing towards the Krim Peninsula from both sides.

Both armies claimed to have the world's most magnificent and invincible army, with a strength of over a million. However, according to the news sent by the diplomats, merchants and spies sent by the Crusaders, their army was indeed quite large - at least 100,000 - and the number of the Beast Tide Successors' coalition was even greater. The tribal coalition composed of dozens of orcs, ogres, centaurs and harpies had a strength of 300,000 or even more, and it was somewhat similar to the Beast Tide that swept across the wasteland.

However, their training, equipment and tactics were very problematic. Many military spies even claimed that this coalition was not as good as the militia of the Crusaders. Their equipment and training were completely adventurer-style. In other words, they were adventurer-style guerrillas who needed to fight in small teams, or at most a team of dozens of people.

The militias of those city-states and settlements were not good at large-scale combat, but were organized into companies and battalions of about 100 to several hundred people. The tactical training they received was also primitive cold weapon-based and small-scale conflict.

Many of the self-proclaimed professionals did not even form a team, but worked alone. The spies also believed that there were at least more than twenty dark elf spies mixed in this chaotic army - perhaps more.

Aslan had no idea what the Beast Tide Successors' coalition army was like. However, seeing that the Beast Tide Successors and human adventurers had been fighting each other for so long without a clear winner, he could just consider the 300,000 Beast Tide coalition army to be a more outdated army than the human coalition army.

If Aslan was in charge of this army, he would have put a lot of effort into classifying, integrating, reorganizing and training the army. At least, he would have made the army look like an army, and then he could go and fight the dark elves.

But this coalition army did not see it that way. Looking at such a large number of warriors, and so many master-level and legendary professionals, the entire Wasteland Coalition Army was full of confidence, thinking that they could easily beat the dark elves' army.

At this moment, according to the reports from the front, the number of dark elves is increasing. At the beginning, there were about 10,000 vanguard troops. Now the number has swelled to 30,000. The number is still increasing.

Almost every day, warships, merchant ships, and transport ships transported large numbers of dark elf soldiers, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies to the Krim Peninsula. The number of this army was constantly increasing.

At the same time, it was not just the number that increased. The terrifying war beasts trained by the dark elves and all kinds of weapons and equipment were also continuously delivered.

The powerful manticores, velociraptors, and hydras were all in the procession. The dark elves' vassals, the huge cannons forged by the obsidian dwarves, were also transported here by special giant transport ships.

Although this huge cannon cannot be used in field battles due to its slow movement, it is very good at attacking and defending cities.

In addition, the black dragons that were allied with the dark elves but had recently become more and more like flannel balls also landed, accompanied by a large number of dragonborn drow. At the same time, there were also a large number of southern humans who were also vassals of the dark elves.

The Hutts who lived in the desert and domesticated war elephants and camels. The powerful centaurs who hunted on the savannah, and the nomadic Xhosa. And the Bulwars who came from civilized city-states and had an excellent history of phalanx warfare and naval warfare...

These human nations, which had been tamed by the Dark Elves and whose upper classes had intermarried with the Dark Elves and were rapidly becoming half-elven, all sent their most elite warriors to join this war.

The upper class nobles who had been tamed by the dark elves showed their arrogance and confidence in front of the commoners who still maintained their pure human blood. But when they turned around and faced their dark elf wives and mothers, or even their half-elf sisters, they had to kneel down and sing "Conquer".

The biggest difference between the dark elves on the surface and the dark elves in the Underdark lies in their integration capabilities.

The dark elves on the surface prefer to use fused soft knives to kill people. Over hundreds of years or even longer, they use large-scale marriages with the upper class to gradually transform the upper nobles of the conquered nations into lower noble half-elves who share the same interests as themselves, thus enhancing their own strength.

The Dark Elves underground prefer to treat the conquered as disposable fluff balls and slaves.

Of course, this does not mean that the dark elves in the underground world are stupid and the dark elves in the surface world are smart.

Because the underground world is fragmented, the number of people that each city-state can accommodate is limited. At the same time, due to the fragmentation and the strong separatism that is difficult to manage, it is difficult to form a unified large country. This has led to an increase in population, and a state that has no meaning for the city-state.

The dark elves on the surface were different. They established the most terrifying and powerful dark empire in the world. They abandoned the old belief in the Spider Queen and embraced the new belief in the Dark Goddess. They eventually replaced the black magicians, necromancers and other countries that believed in the Dark Goddess and became the most powerful country in the circle of the Dark Goddess.

So in a sense, the coalition's choice cannot be said to be wrong.

Every day of delay would make the dark elves in the Beast Tide Wasteland stronger. Moreover, with so many troops, the pressure of logistical supply was also very great.

The coalition forces do not have a powerful force like the Jade Empire behind them that can supply unlimited logistical resources.

The longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for the Jade Empire and the more disadvantageous it will be for the coalition forces.

……

"From this perspective, whether you wait or take the initiative is the difference between dying early and dying late."

After confirming the intelligence from the front line, Aslan's last hope for the coalition forces in the Beast Tide Wasteland disappeared.

When a mob faces a powerful professional elite army, the final result is nothing more than being beaten to a pulp.

Sure enough, the news continued to come.

The two coalition forces that took the initiative to attack were bombed to pieces by the simple fortifications, heavy artillery, magic towers, and legendary magicians built by the dark elf army.

Several veteran legendary warriors in the Beast Tide Wasteland, with their master-level elite teams, wanted to break through the enemy's line through personal force.

However, the dark elves over there were also well prepared. They also had an elite team of masters and legendary warriors, fighting soldier against soldier and general against general.

The legendary warriors in the wasteland had quite a lot of combat experience, but the dark elves were much richer. They had a lot more materials and high-level equipment than the poor people in the wasteland.

Apart from other things, the master-level professional team of the dark elves all wore black dragon leather armor or fine gold alloy armor, plus +5 grade high-level enchanted fine gold weapons. They also achieved uniform equipment and training. Various magic wands, magic scrolls, magic props and magic potions were thrown away like they were free.

Who the hell can stand this?

When these people fight, they just see who has the strongest ability and the best technology. I have never heard of fighting a war by spending money.

Regardless of whether they won or lost, the momentum was just GG. In a short while, several legendary masters were either dead or defeated, and all of them were stunned.

When the coalition forces were running out of steam, the dark elves quickly launched a counterattack. The dark elf knights riding velociraptors and the dark elf air knights riding manticores, under the cover of magic by a large number of dark goddess priests, black magicians, sorcerers and hell warlocks, launched a swift air-ground joint charge towards the coalition forces.

The elite professional team led by the three legendary masters was also mixed in. At the same time, five black dragons appeared in the sky, constantly spewing strong acid dragon breath to the ground. The momentum was so strong that it shook the earth. This wave of charge directly broke through the opposing coalition forces.

Hundreds of thousands of Wasteland Allied Forces were killed and scattered. Afterwards, they were pursued relentlessly by the Dark Elves, and only a very small number of people survived. The others were either massacred by the Dark Elves or surrendered and became prisoners of war, and they were afraid that they would become the Dark Elves' hard-working slaves.

……

On the other hand, the army of the Beast Tide Successors, although more than three times the number of the Wasteland Alliance, lost even more miserably than the Wasteland Alliance - simply because during the war, the Centaurs and Harpies, who were supposed to bear the air force and cavalry, all turned against them.

The flanks lost their cover, and in a panic, the dark elf army also charged forward, quickly and efficiently bewildering a large number of orcs, goblins, and jackals who were still in a state of panic.

Both battles took place in May.

The Dark Elf Expeditionary Force defeated the Wasteland Alliance first, and then the Orc Successor Alliance. The strategic and tactical training of the top combat power was fully demonstrated, shocking the world! The entire Beast Tide Wasteland, from the Dragon Mountains to the Nightmare Forest, was filled with wailing, and many city-states and tribes simply sent envoys to declare their submission to the Jade Empire.

In the blink of an eye, it seems that the Jade Empire's sweep across the Beast Tide Wasteland is unstoppable, and an incomparable net of haze is about to spread to the world of light, justice and order.

At the same time, in the orderly world of the West, bad news came again.

After the Golden Eagle Empire fell into civil war, another war broke out in the Order World. The Lotharingians and Lensenors finally lost their patience and chose to go to war.

Chapter 60 Heading to the battlefield

After receiving the news from the spies on the front line, although he tried very hard to be patient, Aslan finally showed his face. He really wanted to complain: "Even if there are 400,000 pigs, it is impossible for them to be killed in three days."

But in the end, Aslan held back.

After all, he knew that catching people was actually easier than catching pigs. What he really cared about was the military strength of the dark elves.

After a brief analysis and confirmation, Aslan heaved a sigh of relief.

The current professionalism, tactics, weapons and equipment, and training level of the Dark Elves' army are indeed far superior to all the justice and order forces within the Golden Eagle Empire.

As expected, the evil side is more organized than the righteous side. This is common sense, right?

But there are still some fights.

The Crusaders' tactics and equipment level are still superior to those of the Dark Elves.

But this is not absolutely superior to the dark elves.

Aslan believed that as time went by, as the Jade Empire dealt with him more and more, the Crusaders' tactics would definitely be borrowed, transformed, and used by the Jade Empire. After all, the Jade Empire was still in its rising period, and it had a strong curiosity and an open attitude towards foreign new technologies and techniques.
