"So the west army is the main attacking force?" Wuqi asked.

According to Wuqi's judgement, the Empire had just helped the Ashoka Dynasty, so if the Gupta Dynasty attack was the fake one, the Peacock Dynasty should be their main target.

The problem was that the west army's overall numbers were slightly less.

Jia Xu shook his head.

"Please enlighten us!" Wuqi said.

Jia Xu said, "The west front will attack for real, and then fake, and then attack for real once more."

"...."

This strategy was a little complicated, and the generals did not understand it.

Jia Xu explained, "Fighting for real is for the same reason as on the south front, which is to restrict the Peacock Dynasty. This will make it so that they will not be able to focus on the frontline and will need to withdraw troops, giving the Ashoka Dynasty a chance to counterattack."

Based on the plans of the Grand Council, the attacking times of the three fronts were all different.

The west front would be the first to attack to draw the Peacock Dynasty's attention. Following which, the south front would disembark in Gupta Dynasty territory so that they would not be able to assist the Peacock Dynasty.

This was the first stage.

The goal of this stage would be to give the Ashoka Dynasty room to move and push the frontlines outward. "The greater the number of Ashoka Dynasty troops on the frontlines, the more beneficial it will be for us." Jia Xu said.

Throughout this entire process, the north front, which was the main force, would not move.

Next, Jia Xu explained the second stage in detail, and only then did the meeting come to an end. The generals all returned to their warzones and started to mobilize the troops.

Especially the Guards legion corps, which needed to go from the imperial capital to Hetao Province. They needed to set off immediately.

As for when the battle would begin, that would depend on the India battle situation. Currently, they needed to move the various legions into position and start transporting the relevant grain resources.

...

The 5th month soon arrived.

The previously peaceful European battlefield finally burst into flames.

Similar to India, the European Alliance Army was not prepared to fight a drawn-out battle. They threw more troops onto the frontlines to try to conquer the Ottoman Dynasty before the 9th year ended.

Unexpectedly, the Spanish battlefield was the first.

5th month, 15th day, the Egypt army used 200 heavy cannons to bomb Spain imperial city Madrid. After a month, they finally conquered this city.

This was a breakthrough on the Spain battlefield front.

News had it that the moment he learned of the fall of Madrid, Casillas's face had turned ashen white, and his body had trembled.

Casillas was all too clear about Madrid's strategic position.

Along with Madrid falling, the entire north portion of Spain was exposed before the Egypt army. If they were not careful, the Spain Dynasty would be wiped out.

The only thing that allowed Casillas to remain calm would be the 200 thousand troops Fernando brought back from the frontlines, which gave him some confidence.

"Where did those cannons come from?"

After recovering from the shock, Casillas started to smell something unusual.

After fighting with the Egypt army for so long, Casillas was very familiar with the enemy's situation. The enemy did not even have guns, much less cannons.

"Did Great Xia help them?"

Casillas could only make such a guess before he quickly dismissed the idea. Based on their intel, the Africa warzone did not have so many heavy cannons, so they could not give them all to the Egypt army.

Only a week later did the answer to this riddle reveal itself.

The cannons came from a deal that Azure Badge made with Great Xia. On the surface, this batch was prepared for the Ottoman Dynasty.

In the dark, Azure Badge had sent a large portion of these cannons to the Egypt army.

This misdirection from Azure Badge messed up the Spain battlefield, allowing them to gain a great chance and conquer Madrid as a result.

One had to say that members of Azure Badge were experienced schemers.

They knew that if they shipped the cannons to the Ottoman Dynasty, they would not have a decisive impact on the Ottoman battlefield. However, these cannons could decide the fate of the Spanish battlefield.

Looking at the intel, Casillas was filled with regret. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

"If I knew that this would happen, I would not have given up on Africa so easily." The firearms Azure Badge bought from Great Xia were shipped through the Mediterranean.

After Great Xia restored order in the Mediterranean, this ocean trade route became busy once more.

This gave the Ottoman Dynasty a chance.

Now, Silver Hand's initial plan seemed like a huge failure. It looked like they had given up Morocco, but they had in fact given up the chance to lock down the Mediterranean Ocean.

A smooth Mediterranean Ocean led to a lot of problems.

Unfortunately, even if Casillas saw through this point now, there was nothing that he could do.

The reemergence of the Mediterranean trade route energized the dynasties along the way once again, making merchants, nobles, and even normal civilians gain massive profits and plenty of convenience.

The Spain empire alone was unable to lockdown the Mediterranean Ocean once more.

Furthermore, Great Xia occupied the important parts of the trade route, and they also had the Atlantic Squadron defending it. The Spain empire could not lock it down just because they wanted to.

If the Spain Invincible Squadron dared to attempt to do so, they would immediately become public enemy number one.

"What a vicious scheme!"

Casillas could not accept it, but he could only feel depressed on his own.

In truth, his depression did not last for long. Shortly after Madrid fell, an even greater crisis loomed over the heads of the Spain Dynasty.

Casillas had no knowledge regarding all of this.

...

5th month, 22nd day, Imperial Capital.

Summer had arrived. Within the imperial garden, flowers bloomed, what a beautiful sight.

On the side of the lake on the west of the garden sat the most powerful man in Great Xia on a camp chair. He held a fishing rod, leisurely fishing.

The court ladies, servants, Imperial Palace female guards, including the Divine Martial Guards, all held their breaths, not wanting to make a sound in case they disturbed the emperor.

At this moment, footsteps sounded out on the stone path.

It was military affairs minister Du Ruhui.

This powerful giant was like a gentle and graceful student, arriving behind his majesty.

Ouyang Shuo felt it. He stared at the lake of fish and softly asked, "Are we about to arrive?"

"Tomorrow." Du Ruhui replied softly.

Coincidentally, the fishing buoy sank. Ouyang Shuo laughed, not afraid of startling the fish within as he said, "Good, the fish has taken the bait; the show is about to begin."

As he said that, he swung the fishing rod, revealing a golden carp at the end flailing about.

"Your majesty is wise!"

Du Ruhui smiled, congratulating the emperor on his catch.
