This is a magical and vast land that has nurtured countless top-tier powerhouses and is home to numerous enormous empires.
Of all the powers, the Madrid Empire and the Barcelona Empire are the most powerful. They possess exceptional strength and profound foundations, making them top-tier behemoths even in the entire five regions of Azeroth.
For nearly a century, the Barcelona Empire, by emphasizing the cultivation of talent, established the La Masia Academy, known as the premier military academy on the continent, which has produced a large number of dazzling and unparalleled super geniuses.
Especially Leo Messi, who is known as the " Son of God ".
This peerless genius, hailed as the unparalleled genius of the Azeroth Continent in a millennium, has become the strongest in the Western Region in less than a few decades, comparable to the increasingly low-profile Maradona, the Continent Martial Saint.
Thanks to the presence of Messi and a large number of other super talents who graduated from the La Masia Military Academy, the Barcelona Empire holds an absolute advantage in its war with its arch-rival, the Madrid Empire. In recent years, it has achieved overwhelming victories in three consecutive major battles, and at one point almost marched on the Bernabéu in Madrid.
Wherever their military might pointed, the entire continent trembled.
With such irreversible prestige, Barcelona's title as the world's leading military power has been firmly established.
More importantly, the people of Barcelona also have close ties with the Holy Church.
The Church's patriarch and minister Platini was a staunch worshipper and believer of La Masia Doctrine.
It is said that he has one-third Catalan blood in his veins, and not only does he have an extraordinary relationship with the Barcelona royal family, having openly aided the Barcelona Empire on several occasions and fought against the Madrid army, but he also has a close relationship with Barcelona's " Son of God " Leo Messi.
There are even rumors that Leo Messi is Platini's illegitimate son.
This shows just how good their relationship was.
As the world's leading military power and a natural ally of the Holy Church, Barcelona has become the de facto gendarmerie of the continent. It has intervened in imperial wars in the Western Region and other major regions on numerous occasions, and its orders are obeyed without question.
But this behemoth suffered the most unbelievable defeat in the history of the imperial city today.
No one expected that Barcelona would send four Extreme Dao -tier warriors— Busquets, Matichelano, Pedro, and Alves —along with an elite army of over 600,000 to attack a first-level empire in the weakest of the five domains, the Northern Region Continent, only to have the entire expeditionary force wiped out.
When Pedro, Busquets, and Alves, three former Extreme Dao experts, were stripped of their powers and sent back to Camp Nou in a humiliating manner, the entire empire was in an uproar.
"That's impossible!"
"What exactly happened?"
"Who is it? Who has stopped our army?"
"Did those damned Madrid bastards ambush our warriors in the Northern Region?"
Is this God's punishment?
Upon learning of the devastating defeat in the Northern Region Barcelona was plunged into disbelief, shock, and frenzy. From nobles and high-ranking officials to ordinary citizens, the entire nation was in an uproar, grieving and angrily seeking the truth behind the defeat.
"An unacceptable disgrace!"
"The Imperial Army must be held responsible for the defeat!"
"Dereliction of duty, unacceptable dereliction of duty! More than 600,000 imperial warriors perished in foreign lands because of the Military Department's mistake."
Who will be held responsible for the defeat?
"Revenge! The Zenit people must be punished, made to pay for their deeds with blood!"
"Slaughter Zenit! Exterminate the Zenit people!"
"Cleanse the Northern Region Continent!"
When news of the defeat finally spread uncontrollably throughout the territory of Barcelona, it was like a plague.
Accustomed to victory and conquest, the commoners and nobles of Barcelona roared with Vengeance like enraged hedgehogs and moles. They simply couldn't understand why the Imperial Army, with several Extreme Dao experts at its helm, would be defeated in such a humiliating manner by the Barbarian from the Northern Region Continent.
Driven by this extreme anger and loss of reason, the entire Barcelona Empire descended into an indescribable agitation.
On the one hand, people demanded a second expedition for Vengeance, and on the other hand, they also demanded that someone in the Military Department be held accountable for this.
They firmly believed that such a disastrous defeat must have been caused by dereliction of duty or treason within the Military Department.
Because the poor Zenit people, the Northern Region bumpkins, could not possibly defeat the invincible army of Barcelona.
Barcelona, Camp Nou.
An atmosphere of anxiety permeated the entire city.
A solemn atmosphere pervaded the imperial palace.
Hundreds of high-ranking and powerful figures in Barcelona sat silently on stone thrones on either side of the main hall, their faces pale and trembling, not daring to utter a sound.
In the very center of the temple, on three stone beds, lay an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a long red and blue silk robe, half-asleep.
No one wanted to believe that these three frail old men, who looked as if a gust of wind could blow them into the sky, were the former empire's proudest top warriors, the Extreme Dao experts who had brought countless Glory and victories to Barcelona.
I remember when we set out on the expedition six months ago, some people mocked the Imperial Army for being too cautious. They said that it was too much to send four Demigod and more than 600,000 troops to conquer a small, ignorant, backward, and barbaric tribe.
Now, no one dares to say such things anymore.
Those who have a place in this temple are the true upper echelons of Barcelona, wielding absolute power over every aspect of this vast empire. They are well-informed and have deep backgrounds, so they naturally wouldn't think that this defeat was just a second-second mistake or a coincidence like ordinary commoners and minor nobles.
In fact, when the most detailed summary of the defeat at the front was presented to them, everyone present felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.
Only after understanding the true reasons for this defeat did they truly realize that Barcelona's loss in this war was beyond reproach.
Even more seriously, this time, the invincible Imperial Army seems to have truly provoked a very formidable enemy.
King of Chambord, along with his warriors and army, became powerful enough to threaten the empire.
Barcelona is like a strong boxer who throws a powerful punch to knock down a beggar, only to find, incredibly, that his fist has struck a heavyweight champion.
Most people's eyes are fixed vertically on the ground.
Even the most boastful Military Department leaders kept their mouths shut.
Only a few military officers occasionally glanced at Messi, the " Son of God," who sat at the head of the table.
