Year 385 of the New Calendar is the starting point of the first Black Crusade.

Two A-formation legions and miscellaneous troops, more than 150,000 elite Shiqian combat forces embarked on this journey.

They will gather with reinforcements from other city-states on the way, and eventually form a huge first expeditionary army, heading for the abyss-like quagmire battlefield in the southern continent.

Judging from the fact that that expedition was recorded as the "Black Expedition" by history, its results were not very good.

At least one-fifth of the expeditionary forces from the other four continents fell on the road. In addition to the cruel natural environment, the Atel people used all their hidden strength and hidden allies to intercept these expeditioners.

But when the main force arrived on the battlefield, something even more embarrassing happened.

The cruel battlefields of the Southern Continent are different from the "holiday battlefields" of other continents. A large number of reinforcements suffered cruel and devastating blows before they could adapt to the local environment.

This is a life-and-death racial struggle. It is the final battlefield where god-level beings can launch suicidal attacks at will. Various space shocks and satellite black holes are commonplace. Even top-level combat forces need enough luck to survive on this battlefield.

Go down.

However, although these reinforcements suffered heavy losses, they quickly completed their "environmental adaptation" and indeed alleviated the pressure on the Southern Continent.

The most embarrassing thing happened. It was not the losses of the reinforcements along the way, but the investment of these new forces, which did not change the battle situation on the front.

In fact, due to the change of defense in some areas and the laxity in the defensive battle, the human side lost more key nodes, and the victory of the war was slightly tilted towards the Atel people.

Such a result is quite embarrassing, but it is not unacceptable. The reason why it can be called the "Black Crusade" is because of the "Northern Continent and Eastern Continent Great Rebellion" that followed.

The reason is not important, the process is no longer reliable (people should have either rebelled or died at that time), and the result is that a large number of people in the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent rebelled against humans, some of them defected to the Atel people, and some of them chose neutral separatism.

, turning several small worlds into what he calls "independent countries".

"What are these guys doing? Are they trying to be independent and treasonous in this kind of race war?"

When Zheng Li saw the battle report, he was confused.

Then a more detailed report confused his face.

"What are you doing, racist? You really dare to play it!"

There are actually two groups of people who are plotting rebellion. The pure-blood humanists on the northern continent are the ones who oppose the current strategy of equality among the four races and shout for the supremacy of pure-blood humans.

They are the leaders and core backbone of that group of coalition forces. Because of their policies, they are actually only a minority and fringe faction in the Northern Continent.

So, seizing this opportunity, they threw away most of their wealth, industry, resources, and legion.

Coming for reinforcements? NO.

Come to separate the country and seize land to build a country? YES.

When the eagle flag of the "Fourth Holy Roman Republic" flew high in the southern continent, everyone familiar with the matter was dumbfounded. Due to the current information blockade, many people still don't know how to explain it to the public.

The other group of rebels are actually a group of unlucky people. In the establishment of the expeditionary force, they were at the same time as the first group of people. There were also many orcs and aliens among them... Okay, next.

Probably everyone knows what happened.

Many of them were suddenly massacred by the "Holy Rome", and were forced to rebel. Now some of them have joined the Atels, and some of them have found a place to squat and play separatist rule...

Although some loyalists among them have returned to human power, due to the presence of a large number of honorary Atels in their team, they have been forced to undergo second and third inspections.

The result is that if nothing is found, nothing will happen. If found, there will be a lot of problems.

A bunch of military syndicates who came to test their new weapons, a bunch of extreme separatists who worship a certain evil god, a bunch of fugitives and anti-social lunatics... Not all reinforcements are as honest as Shi Qiancheng.

Those who are actually (capable) can form new regiments to come for reinforcements. Many big cities and remote areas have forced conscription, and you can just pay people to come over.

There was no expectation that this first batch of reinforcements would be able to produce anything. Many places and forces sent people to test the situation. One can imagine the mixed composition and shabby strength of the troops.

The most incomprehensible thing is that there are many subtle things in it. For example, the "independent orc tribe" appeared on the historical stage for the first time... It was made up of several orcs like the Ten Thousand Beast City.

An idea that flourished in the great city of the Lord, its core program is probably the same as that of "Holy Rome" except that the subject, predicate and object are different, and the protagonist and the conquered are changed.

They still regret it now. They regret that they were a step too late and allowed Holy Rome to take the lead. The "Orc Tribe" should have been the first to appear and shock the world, attracting countless orc compatriots to join them.

The combat forces invited with money may be strong or weak, and there may even be paid "militiamen" with one or two blades. The soldiers who come on their own initiative are strong and strong, but they may not really come to serve as reinforcements... Careerists

There will never be a shortage of separatists and separatists in any era.

The most terrible thing still happened. In the reality that everyone is an "expeditionary soldier" or a "volunteer", everyone has only one nominal superior. There is a lack of trust, lack of dispatch, and lack of coordination between each other. A rebellion will lead to a rebellion.

A series of chain distrust eventually led to the emergence of a group of "rebels" among the first batch of large reinforcements that made the Atel people laugh out loud.

During this period, there were too many weird things. Some major cities on the continent had fake stories, and some simply signed up to cause trouble. Everyone was included in the first batch of reinforcements, and all kinds of messy things happened.

Because there was so much "black history" in those few years, the First Great Expedition, the first cooperative expedition in the history of pan-humanity, was suddenly turned into a "Black Expedition" that many people didn't want to mention.
