Chapter 1326 – Ripples of the Earthquake

Casillas’s hesitation gave the Egypt Alliance Army a chance.

In the next week, the Alliance Army launched a ferocious assault on Tortosa City. The cannonballs launched drowned the city, and the usually prosperous city slowly turned into ruins with cracks and holes everywhere.

The determination of the Alliance Army could not be shaken.

Under such circumstances, the resistance of Spain was pointless.

6th month, 20th day, bringing with him unwillingness, hatred, and loss, Casillas led his remaining troops out of Tortosa City, going north into Gaule Dynasty territory.

The Spain Dynasty that shone for a period of time had totally become a part of history.

…

Gaia 9th year, 6th month, 21st day, a certain piece of news spread across the globe.

The day after the Spain Dynasty was taken down, Azure Badge announced that the Spain Region would be under the Ottoman Dynasty, becoming their first overseas land.

The Egypt Dynasty king became the Spain Provincial Governor.

Based on Azure Badge’s original plan, they were prepared to restart the name of the Egypt Dynasty. However, due to the appearance of Great Xia, they did not do that.

Ouyang Shuo would never allow the Egypt Dynasty to reappear once more.

The Egypt Dynasty reappearing would be akin to creating a ticking time bomb for the Africa Governor-General House. The people sentiment’s that had just gotten better would boil once more.

Great Xia and Azure Badge were currently in their honeymoon phase. Facing Great Xia’s logical protest, Azure Badge naturally had to take it into account and take a step back.

Truthfully, the only one losing out here was the Egypt Dynasty king.

To Azure Badge, maintaining one dynasty in Europe was better than keeping two.

As such, the two sides clicked.

6th month, 22nd day, the Wolf legion corps started to withdraw from Spain.

However, the 150 thousand Bantu army soldiers stayed. The Egypt army and them would be reorganized into the Ottoman army system; they would be housed in Spain.

Azure Badge’s strategic plan was becoming more and more obvious; they wanted to use all their resources to root themselves in Europe.

Of course, the Bantu Dynasty had an extremely important strategic meaning for Azure Badge and was their final base.

The Bantu Dynasty’s attacks on Central Africa would not stop just like that.

…

Gaule Dynasty, Vic City.

The recently concluded war of Spain had a decisive impact on the European battlefield. After this battle, the Ottoman Dynasty saw signs of turning the tables, so they adjusted their strategy.

Targeting the Romanov Dynasty on the east and the Caesar Dynasty southeast, the Ottoman Dynasty chose a defensive approach. When needed, they could even concede some territory.

They mainly focused on the southwest front.

This time, the Ottoman Dynasty and the Spain province were converging on the Gaule Dynasty.

This was a crucial step for the Ottoman Dynasty to break their current situation.

If the Ottoman Dynasty could take down the Gaule Dynasty, its land would be connected to the Spain region. Not only would they get rid of a strong adversary in the Gaule Dynasty, but the House of Tudor would also be exposed.

The European battlefield would be totally turned on its head.

If they managed that, the Ottoman Dynasty would be truly in an unbeatable position.

This was a really smart choice, but it was really unfriendly toward the Gaule Dynasty. As a result, it was no wonder that Henry was in an awkward position, and he even felt infuriated.

Whether the war of Spain situation on the Gaule Dynasty was good or bad was difficult to evaluate.

On one side, the Gaule Dynasty obtained 300 thousand elites, and the strength of their army received an obvious increase. Casillas yielding made Henry feel especially delighted.

On the other hand, the Gaule Dynasty needed to face the threat of the Ottoman Dynasty. The flames of war would quickly spread from the Ottoman Dynasty to the Gaule Dynasty.

Blessings and disasters came together.

The key was that along with the 300 thousand strong Spain army submitting, the Gaule Dynasty’s logistical weakness was amplified. If the flames of war were to spread to their own land, it would make things far worse.

This was the reason why the Ottoman Dynasty felt confident.

As such, it was no wonder that Henry would feel so depressed. He was getting more and more disappointed with Silver Hand.

…

Romanov Dynasty, St Petersburg.

Toward the Ottoman Dynasty’s strategic adjustment, Henry was bitter. Meanwhile, someone was laughing in the dark.

This person was Romanov Dynasty king Pushkin.

The Ottoman Dynasty had reduced their east defensive front, allowing the Romanov Dynasty to push in west. This was a good fit with Pushkin’s strategy.

From a geographical point of view, Russia was a tough country to defend.

The core regions of most countries had some sort of geographical barrier. However, Russia’s core area since the Grand Duchy of Moscow till now had no mountains or oceans to provide protection. Their defense did not rely on the shape of the land but more on bad weather to consume the enemy’s strength.

Such a pricey defensive method made Russia struggle every time an enemy invaded. For example, the Mongol cavalry from the European grasslands, the Teutonic Order from the Central European plains, Napolean, the German Empire, and the Nazi Empire.

Facing the Mongol cavalry caused the Russians to rush their formations, so their defenses in Europe always ended in hard fought victories.

Hence, expansion was the best form of defense for Russia to make up for this weakness. They needed to continue to expand till they reached a mountain or the coast.

The Romanov Dynasty was trying to expand west. Such expansion was endless, and controlling the Ottoman Dynasty was the best result.

As the Central European plains were narrow in the west and wide in the east, the defensive line became smaller the further west you headed.

To connect to the Spain region, the Ottoman Dynasty reduced their defensive line, giving the Romanov Dynasty the chance to attack the Central European plains.

King Pushkin was a bold king.

The day they learned that the Ottoman Dynasty had adjusted its strategy, Pushkin held a meeting. They decided that the country would go all out, gathering all their strength to attack the Central European plains.

The Romanov Dynasty that was in a half-asleep, half-awake state was like a northern beast, suddenly waking up and starting to show off its talents to build a stable foundation for the dynasty.

To make matters better for them, Silver Hand’s strategy with regard to the Ottoman Dynasty was exactly the same. Being able to get assurance from his allies was a good matter.

To get help from the organization, Pushkin acted crafty for once. He first acted like he was unwilling in the internal meeting of Silver Hand. Only after obtaining enough promises did he pretend to helplessly accept.

In truth, Pushkin was laughing in his heart.

…

6th month, 25th day.

With the Romanov Dynasty adding troops to the European battlefield, someone felt a pain in his ass.
