Chapter 150: Dragon Continent Becomes a Swampland
Each of the four holy cities suppresses one side, and each has its own opponent.
For example, Xuanwu Holy City, the biggest enemy is the Orc Alliance in the north.
For thousands of years, the Northern Orc Alliance has selected Behemoth as the royal family and selected twelve powerful orc tribes as the royal family.
For example, the bear people, lion people, wolf people, elephant people, etc.
Forming a pattern of one royal family and twelve royal families.
These thirteen powerful orc races are the rulers of the Northern Orc Alliance and the backbone of it.
Under their leadership, they constantly launched attacks on Xuanwu Holy City.
However, Xuanwu Holy City is not a vegetarian. Under the leadership of the Xuanyuan family, the seven main cities and many top families united together.
The two sides launched a series of brutal battles on the northern border.
There were wins and losses between them.
But overall, the strength between the two sides is not much different. Even if one side can maintain the upper hand, it will definitely not destroy the other side.
What's more, there are other forces on the Shenlong Continent!
Like Xuanwu Holy City, it has always maintained an alliance with the other three holy cities.
Once a critical moment comes, the other three holy cities will come to the rescue.
For example, in recent years, a hero has emerged in the Northern Orc Alliance - the Golden Behemoth King from the royal family.
This Golden Behemoth King is ambitious and powerful.
He has reached the peak level of level 100 just after adulthood, and he has several national treasures as his support, and his strength is very terrifying.
Under his leadership, the Orc Alliance has brought great pressure to Xuanwu Holy City.
Almost every year, at least three royal families take action. They lead the alliance army to the south and constantly attack the defense of Xuanwu Holy City.
And every three to five years, the Golden Behemoth King personally takes action and launches a vigorous race war.
In just a few decades, the city lord of Xuanwu Holy City has changed several times, and the Xuanyuan family was almost wiped out.
A family, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, dozens of people died on the front battlefield.
A family that has been passed down for thousands of years has come to the brink of bloodline severance.
Otherwise, Xuanyuan Linglong, a woman, would not be the lord of Xuanwu Holy City.
It is conceivable that under the leadership of King Golden Behemoth, the Orc Alliance has burst into a strong vitality.
But even so, the Orc Alliance did not completely break through the defense of Xuanwu Holy City.
At most, it tore a small hole on the long border line.
Then took the opportunity to break into the hinterland of Xuanwu Holy City, burning, killing and looting.
But before long, reinforcements from the other three holy cities will arrive one after another to assist Xuanwu Holy City in expelling the Orc Alliance troops and stabilizing the front line.
But once the coalition forces of the four holy cities want to take the opportunity to kill into the hinterland of the Orc Alliance and completely wipe out this group of foreign races.
The army of the East Sea Mermaid Empire will attack the port of Qinglong Holy City.
The tide of monsters from the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south will also sweep across the territory of Zhuque Holy City.
The death army of the Western Desert Temple will also appear on the edge of the desert, threatening the border cities of White Tiger Holy City at all times.
Under such circumstances, the coalition forces of the four holy cities will immediately collapse and will not be able to effectively strike the Orc Alliance.
The reason for this situation is that the Northern Orc Alliance also colluded with the East Sea Mermaid Empire, the Ten Thousand Mountains in the South, and the Western Desert Temple.
Once faced with a crisis of extinction, the other forces will also help.
After all, under the pressure of the lips and teeth being cold, as long as the helmsmen of these alien forces are not fools, they will not watch the Orc Alliance being exterminated.
The four holy cities of the human race know how to fight the enemy in alliance, and the alien forces in the four directions also know how to exchange what they have.
This situation has lasted for many years on the Shenlong Continent.
It is not only the case with the Xuanwu Holy City and the Orc Alliance.
The situation in other directions is roughly the same.
For example, the biggest enemy of the Qinglong Holy City is the East Sea Mermaid Empire.
The Mermaid Empire wants to expand its territory, and often stirs up thousands of feet of sea waves to submerge the land territory.
When the land territory turns into a swamp, the soldiers of the Mermaid Empire will enter these places, build nests, and reproduce.
It won't take long for new tribes to be born.
It is said that the five major lakes on the Shenlong Continent were formed in this way.
The aquatic creatures living in the hinterland of the Shenlong Continent and some Mermaid Empire tribes who took refuge in the Qinglong Holy City were also born in this way.
The reason why they took refuge in the human race is that the Mermaid Empire was defeated and they were unable to go back.
In desperation, they naturally had to choose to take refuge in the human race.
Of course, those aquatic forces that did not take refuge would also be exterminated by the human army.
For thousands of years, the battles between the Qinglong Holy City and the Mermaid Empire have also been victorious and even played out in a situation where you have me and I have you.
For example, the Qinglong Holy City also occupies large tracts of islands in the East China Sea.
Some islands originally belonged to the Mermaid Empire, but were occupied by the Qinglong Holy City.
Some islands were originally mountains on the land, but they were submerged by the waves raised by the Mermaid Empire, and eventually formed isolated islands in the vast ocean.
The Mermaid Empire also often eroded the hinterland of the Shenlong Continent along the Wangchuan River, Shenlong River, Jinsha River and other major rivers.
Especially at the mouths of these major rivers, they have completely become bloody battlefields for the competition between the two major forces.
Fights broke out every day, and it is said that the blood dyed the water red, forming a terrifying sea of blood.
But no matter how the two sides fight, no matter how the battlefield ahead is intertwined, no one side can exterminate the other side.
Because every time when one side has the strength to crush the other side, the other side will start to shake people and call for allies for support.
For example, 300 years ago, a god of law appeared in the Mermaid Empire, leading thousands of sea creatures to set off boundless waves, turning the entire Qinglong territory into a swamp.
Except for the Qinglong Holy City and a few cities with higher terrain that survived, most of the other territories were occupied by the Mermaid Empire.
But soon, the other three holy cities assembled their armies, and countless human race strongmen also rushed to the battlefield, and launched a war with the Mermaid Empire that lasted for decades.
In the end, the Mermaid God of Law, who originally had a lifespan of a thousand years, died of exhaustion in this endless war.
Without the support of the Mermaid God of Law, the sea water gradually receded and the land resurfaced.
Without the support of the geographical advantage, the Mermaid Empire was finally defeated until it retreated to the East China Sea, and this protracted battle was declared over.
Interestingly, during this period, internal strife broke out between the Eastern Mermaid Empire, the Northern Orc Alliance, the Southern Ten Thousand Mountains, the Western Desert Temple and other foreign forces.
Because the other major forces did not want to see the Mermaid Empire turn the entire continent into an ocean.
So when the Mermaid Empire had the upper hand, they did not take advantage of the situation and attack the three holy cities.
They even supported the human race in the fight, openly and secretly, just to drive the Mermaid Empire back into the sea.
After all, these forces are land creatures after all.
If the Mermaid Empire really succeeds, will they let these people live in trees?
