Kukarn Empire, Imperial Palace.
"Damn it!"
"These damn bastards betrayed the alliance and stabbed us in the back."
News of the joint attack by the four major empires reached Emperor Kukarn.
Emperor Kukarn could no longer maintain his usual calm and dignified demeanor, and he angrily roared in frustration.
Along with his anger, he also felt immense regret, if he had known that things would develop to this extent...
He would never have participated in the war against the Orc Empire.
Not only did he fail to obtain divinity, it also led to a significant decline in the empire's strength.
Now, the empire has become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of the other four major empires, ready to be devoured.
After venting his frustration, Emperor Kukarn quickly regained his composure.
Being angry now would be of no use, he must find a way to resolve this major crisis.
Otherwise, the Kukarn Empire, which has been passed down for thousands of years, may be destroyed in his hands, and completely vanish.
"Send envoys to negotiate with the four major empires..."
"Dispatch five imperial knight orders to the border to guard against the invasion of the four major empire's coalition forces..."
After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Kukarn quickly issued orders.
His train of thought was clear, if this national crisis could be resolved through negotiations, which would be the best outcome.
If not, then he would do everything in his power to fight against the four major empire's coalition forces.
After all, the four major empires are not truly united, they only temporarily came together due to immense interests.
As long as he can inflict significant damage on the enemy, the Kukarn Empire will have a glimmer of hope.
While Emperor Kukarn was desperately thinking about the survival of the empire...
On the other side, Rennes was feeling a headache.
To be honest, he didn't care whether the Kukarn Empire would perish or not.
Because the previous actions of Emperor Kukarn, which made him the scapegoat, had already left him feeling cold-hearted.
But under a fallen nest, there are no intact eggs.
The Habsburg family lives on the land of the Kukarn Empire. And once the Kukarn Empire is destroyed, it will be divided by the four major empires.
The Habsburg family is bound to be greatly affected, and he does not want his hard-earned family fortune of over a hundred years to be taken away by people from the four major empires.
Of course, Rennes doesn't have too much worry in his heart either.
With his combat power comparable to that of a high-level half god, as long as he is willing to surrender to a certain empire, it should not be a problem to protect the existing assets of the Habsburg family.
And if things really don't work out, he can still use the Star Whale to escape with his wives, children, and property.
Anyway, with his current strength, he can survive wherever he goes, it's not a problem at all.
Thinking like this, Rennes's mood suddenly brightened.
Eat, drink, and sleep as usual.
Maintaining the same pace of life as before, not at all affected by the tense atmosphere outside.
Half a month later.
The peace negotiations between the Kukarn Empire and the four major empires completely broke down.
According to the rumors circulating in the Kukarn court, the negotiation process was extremely difficult.
As the Kukarn Empire took the initiative to seek peace and requested the four major empires to withdraw their troops.
The four major empires, who held absolute initiative, showed great appetite.
They demanded fifty percent of the Kukarn Empire's territory and a large amount of treasures from the Kukarn Empire.
If these conditions were really accepted, the Kukarn Empire would be completely finished.
It would immediately fall into the abyss and never be able to climb back up.
Therefore, the Kukarn Empire could only choose to refuse.
After the negotiations broke down, the war immediately began.
The four major empires each sent five million troops, forming a coalition army with a total number of twenty million.
Using the Andri Empire and the Siloko Empire as springboards, they attacked the Kukarn Empire.
But the Kukan Empire had long been prepared.
Five elite imperial knight orders and eight million fighting Qi warriors were stationed at the border.
Always on guard against the attack of the coalition army of the four major empires, coupled with the advantage of fighting on their home turf. For a while, the joint forces of the four empires were unexpectedly blocked by the Kukarn Empire's army outside the border.
However, Emperor Kukarn did not feel happy.
He was well aware, this is far from enough.
Only by inflicting a heavy blow on this joint force with absolute superiority can the four empires be deterred, and to resolve the crisis of the Kukarn Empire's destruction.
"It seems that the Order of Condemnation Knights must be mobilized."
Emperor Kukarn tapped the table, thinking to himself.
Although the military strength of the Kukarn Empire has declined, the Kukarn imperial family still holds a considerable amount of hidden power.
For example, the Order of Condemnation Knights.
This force is a secret ace that the imperial family has secretly cultivated at great cost.
Although there are only a little over five hundred members, each one is a strong individual.
Even the weakest has the strength of a top-level sky knight, there are also more than twenty legendary knights.
The general who leads this knight order is also a member of the imperial family, with the strength of a half god at the 26th level. (That's it??)
In addition, all members of the Order of Condemnation Knights have also practiced a powerful order combat technique that allows them to share power and share damage.
Combining the two, they are capable of directly confronting a 29th level half god. (Now that's strong.)
It can be said, this is a powerful armed force that can determine the outcome of a battle.
Just as Emperor Kukarn secretly mobilized the hidden military power of the imperial family, preparing to deliver a heavy blow to the joint forces of the four empires.
Rennes was not idle either, the current chaotic situation in the outside world has greatly increased his sense of crisis.
In order to quickly enhance his strength for possible future crises, he exercised with his wives every day.
Under Rennes's unremitting efforts. Eleven of his wives, including Iris, Orian, and Freya, have all become pregnant.
If nothing unexpected happens.
In a year, the Habsburg family will be able to welcome a new wave of babies.
As for the other dozen or so wives, they are either in a critical period of cultivation or in the postpartum recovery period, it is not suitable for them to get pregnant for now.
Like this.
One month has passed.
After this period of fierce fighting, the Four Great Empire Allied Forces have gained a partial advantage, successfully penetrating into the territory of the Kukarn Empire, and the heavily damaged Kukarn Empire army can only retreat to the second line of defense, struggling to hold on.
If this continues, in less than half a month, the Kukarn Empire army will be completely annihilated.
The unfavorable situation on the frontlines has made the pessimistic mood within the Kukarn Empire increasingly intense.
Just when everyone thought the Kukarn Empire was about to be finished, a powerful knight order of over five hundred people, like a divine army descending from the heavens, launched a surprise attack on the Four Great Empire Allied Forces from the rear.
Caught off guard, the formation and deployment of the Four Great Empire Allied Forces were completely disrupted.
Seizing the opportunity, the Kukarn Empire army launched a counterattack.
Caught in a pincer attack, the Four Great Empire Allied Forces suffered heavy casualties.
Direct losses amounted to nearly half of their forces, even a half-god-level powerhouse fell.
After a brilliant comeback, the Kukarn Empire's army did not give the Four Great Empire Allied Forces a chance to catch their breath.
They launched a frenzied offensive, reclaiming all the previously lost cities and territories in one go.
At the same time, they drove the Four Great Empire Allied Forces beyond the Kukarn Empire's border.
With the momentum of a great victory, the Kukarn Empire restarted negotiations, attempting to force concessions from the Four Great Empires.
Negotiations and ceasefire.
However, the Kukarn Emperor underestimated the determination of the Four Great Empires to divide the Kukarn Empire.
Even after suffering such a huge loss, the Four Great Empires still showed no signs of stopping.
They began to mobilize more forces to support the frontline army, the intensity of the war escalated once again.
In the face of this, the Kukarn Empire had no choice but to fight to the end.
And to cope with the increasingly dire situation, the Kukarn Emperor decided to personally lead the troops.
At the same time, all imperial nobles were forcibly conscripted to support the frontline battlefield.
