Immigrants from the New Continent had sparked two wars in succession.
One was the attack on Duke Mecklen's Territory. Nearly every nation on the Old Continent had watched that war, astonished by the forces Anne could command, and even more astonished by the strength of the New Continent Immigrant Alliance. At the most critical moment, Charlotte returned to Mecklenburg. Not only did he repel the New Continent immigrants' allied forces, he even swallowed up part of their power, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
The other was the current war. Gotlandsburg's army had actually fought Byron's forces to a standstill. Even Constantine himself had failed to drive back this New Continent immigrant army, truly shaking the entire Old Continent. The Four Great Empires had even quietly set aside their disputes and begun peace talks, hoping to swiftly settle the division of the Black Phoenix Dynasty's final legacy and free up their strength to deal with the New Continent immigrants' offensive.
This immigrant army that had conquered the Mason Kingdom advanced with unstoppable momentum, breaking through three nations in succession and faintly forming a pincer movement with Gotlandsburg's New Continent immigrant army. So long as they crossed the Gandis Mountains and captured Modova, they could invade Byron. No one had expected that they really would cross the Gandis Mountains, only to have their offensive stopped by the tiny nation of Modova...
The moment Byron's army in the Mason Kingdom entered Modova, Byron announced that it would relinquish several disputed territories, swiftly signed treaties with the three great empires, and began frequent troop movements, preparing to strike the New Continent immigrant army head-on. The vampires had no desire to become the second empire on the Old Continent to be destroyed.
In a very short time, Modova had become the storm center of the entire continent!
