Contrary to numerous predictions, the Holy Church was not powerful enough to swiftly and decisively defeat the Dragon Clan, nor did it achieve final victory in this war. The exact outcome of the war remains uncertain, as the Mediterranean Sea and Sicily Island have been completely blockaded by tens of thousands of dragons for the past ten days, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. Only the constant bursts of terrifying energy fluctuations seem to indicate that the battle is still raging on.
This is the first time in a thousand years that the Holy Church has been attacked.
Without any need for a call to arms, the true [Holy War] had begun for the priests, knights, and fanatical believers on the Azeroth Continent. The Southern Region Diocese, Western Region Diocese, Northern Region Diocese, and Eastern Region Diocese all issued calls to battle immediately, and the holy legions and priests of each diocese rushed to the Central Region to support the war in Sicily Island.
The Holy Church, which was self-righteous and exclusive of its people, had no one who was disappointed. Sure enough, the Dragon Clan was judged as evil creatures at the first opportunity.
A frenzy of destroying dragon statues swept across the entire continent. Several empires that worshipped Dragon Clan as totems were even destroyed overnight by the fanatical Holy Church knight legions, and countless innocent people became victims of this war.
This sudden war completely changed the situation across the entire continent.
In the Southern Region, the Southern Region Diocese diverted over 80% of its forces to the Central Region to support Sicily Island, greatly weakening the Human Clan's high-end strength. Without the assistance of the divine masters, human casualties continued to escalate. Furthermore, the alliance between the Bayern Munich Empire and other empires such as Leverkusen and Dortmund was superficial, with neither side willing to commit their full strength. As a result, humanity gradually lost its advantage in the battle against the Goblin Clan and became unable to launch a threatening counterattack.
At this very moment, something even worse happened to the Human Clan.
Almost simultaneously, a shocking piece of news spread: in the Flame Mountain Range in the Eastern Region of the Continent, the presence of the Dwarf Clan and Gnome Clan was discovered.
Dwarves and gnomes were among the major vassal races of the ancient era of gods and demons, possessing formidable combat power. The Dwarf Clan, in particular, were born warriors, regardless of gender, possessing unparalleled comprehension of Dou Qi and innate divine strength, in addition to their abilities in forging and smelting. The Gnome Clan, though weak in strength, possessed wisdom comparable to goblins, and their talent in alchemy and magic was so great that even dragons would give them a wide berth.
The appearance of these two races in the Flame Mountain Range of the Eastern Region is definitely a cause for concern for the major empires of the Eastern Region, especially given the background of the goblins and dragons actively attacking humans. Human Clan instinctively reject and are hostile to the appearance of any alien race. The Chelsea Empire, Liverpool Empire, Arsenal Empire, Manchester United Empire, and other superpowers in the Eastern Region immediately deployed troops around the Flame Mountain Range to guard against attacks from the Dwarf Clan and Gnome Clan.
It was at this time that more astonishing news broke.
In the Western Region of the Continent, another powerful race from the ancient era of gods and demons— the Elf Clan —appeared in the primeval forests on the westernmost edge.
The Elf Clan, with their unparalleled magical talent, assassination skills, and peerless archery, left an indelible mark on the ancient era of gods and demons. This race, with its moral and physical fastidiousness, is favored by the Creator, possessing extraordinary natural beauty and long lifespans. An ordinary Elf Clan warrior is said to live up to five hundred years; the power of the elven priests and kings, who wield eternal strength, is even more terrifying.
Their long lifespan has made this race powerful. Like dragons, if the Elf Clan hadn't had a lower reproductive rate than Human Clan and beastmen, they might have become a powerful race on par with the God Clan and Demon Clan.
With such events occurring one after another, the weather in early spring was rather cold for the Human Clan.
This situation is like a pig that has monopolized a pigpen for a long time, and suddenly, several cows, several sheep, and a flock of chickens and ducks come to share the pigpen. In order to dominate the feeding trough and the dry soil to sleep on, a war will inevitably break out between the different livestock.
The only good news amidst the bad news for the Human Clan is that the orc race, the most terrifying Orc Clan and demons, second only to the Dragon Clan in combat power and possessing unparalleled reproductive capabilities, has not yet appeared. For the time being, humanity does not have to face this powerful race whose reproductive capacity surpasses their own and who is extremely warlike.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
It's hard to believe that the war in Sicily Island is still ongoing.
The Dragon Clan and the Holy Church, two powerful forces, were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down nor even attempt to sit down and talk.
News from all sides has gradually confirmed that in the past two months, the Holy Church has lost hundreds of thousands of divine masters and divine knights, thousands of experts at the Moon Class level and above, fifty-six Great Sun-Rank Venerable, eleven high-ranking bishops, and twenty-one popes from branch churches. This is the most devastating loss in a thousand years.
The Dragon Clan fared no better. More than a thousand ordinary Dragon Clan perished, and a hundred elite Dragon Clan also fell. Even two supreme beings at the King Class were lost—an unbearable loss for the Dragon Clan with such poor reproductive capabilities.
At this moment, almost every emperor of every human empire across the entire continent was secretly hoping for a stroke of luck.
Fortunately, the Dragon Clan, for some unknown reason, went mad and chose the Holy Church, this behemoth, as their target from the very beginning. Otherwise, any other ninth-level empire would have been reduced to ashes by their dragon breath long ago.
Meanwhile, good news also arrived from the other side.
After some brief communication, it seemed that the dwarves, gnomes, and Elf Clan had no intention of going to war with the Human Clan. Having witnessed the madness of the goblins and Dragon Clan, humans no longer dared to underestimate the power of these powerful vassal races of the ancient gods and demons. In order to preserve their own strength, the major empires wisely made concessions. The super-empire alliance of the Eastern Region announced that it would 'cede' the Flame Mountain Range covered almost one-third of the Eastern Region, to the dwarves and gnomes. In fact, this mountainous region, which was full of active volcanoes and various brutal magical beasts, was basically devoid of human empires.
