The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 32 The Final Battle of Four Empires

In the previous imperial war, the rulers and administrators of the three empires did not experience the satisfaction of completely defeating the Malay Empire's army. Despite the combined forces of the three empires, they were unable to decisively defeat the Malay Empire, resulting in a stalemate and an inability to achieve a decisive victory. This clearly demonstrated the formidable strength of the Malay Empire's army.

Therefore, the rulers and administrators of the three empires decided to mobilize the most outstanding talents, geniuses, prodigies, and capable individuals in their respective empires to jointly increase research efforts in weaponry and equipment, even at the cost of expending more special resources. After several years of effort, they absorbed a rich variety of special resources and successfully applied them to enhance the weaponry and equipment of the three empires.

Through the combined efforts of top talents, exceptional individuals, prodigies, and extraordinary individuals, the weaponry of the three empires was greatly enhanced, reaching a new level of terrifying power. Simultaneously, the three empires themselves underwent significant changes, bringing their defensive capabilities to a terrifying level. Unless Titans were deployed in large numbers and attacked with all their might, it was extremely difficult to breach the empires' defenses. Meanwhile, the Marley Empire, learning from its defeat in the previous war, also prioritized technological development. However, its core focus remained on cultivating a large number of candidates for Titan powers, investing considerable resources as war reserves. They also taught these candidates various combat techniques and gained combat experience, but ultimately trained them to be solely focused on fighting. Those who excelled were awarded Marleyan honors, ranking them above ordinary Marleyans and soldiers. They also strengthened the various aspects of the Titan power candidates' abilities and adaptability, significantly boosting the strength of the Marleyan army. However, an entrance containing abundant and precious resources appeared at a certain location, emanating significant fluctuations. The development departments of the Marleyan Empire, the Tribal Empire, the Middle Eastern United Empire, and the Shiz Empire detected these fluctuations and reported them to their respective imperial administrators and leaders. Because the leaders and rulers of the three empires frequently discussed how to completely defeat the Marleyan army, they established a special contact method. Using this method, they designated a meeting place, and then each led their fully armed and heavily armed imperial armies, equipped with advanced weaponry and equipment, to the designated location. After some time, the three armies converged and proceeded to the same location. Meanwhile, the leaders and rulers of the Marleyan Empire also led their fully armed army, equipped with new and enhanced weaponry and equipment, along with their eight Titan wielders and numerous Titan candidates, to the same location. Meanwhile, the newly appointed ancient emperor of the Maraigu Empire, operating in the shadows, learned through his agents embedded in the three empires that their strength was now vastly different and that they had united. The current ancient emperor of the Maraigu Empire feared that if they didn't target the visible rulers, administrators, and army of the Maraigu Empire, they would completely lose their ability to contend for supremacy. However, the current ancient emperor of the Maraigu Empire would not allow this to happen, because the visible rulers, administrators, and army of the Maraigu Empire were the face and reputation of the hidden Maraigu Empire, and also served to distract the other empires from the existence of the hidden Maraigu Empire, thus undermining its long-term rule and status, and aiding the plans of a small number of special, powerful, and mysterious beings. Therefore, the current ancient emperor of the Maraigu Empire secretly led his army, following the Maraigu Empire's army, to that location. A month later, the rulers and administrators of the three empires, leading their combined army, arrived at the entrance to this place, where abundant and precious resources awaited. Meanwhile, the rulers and administrators of the Marleyan Empire, leading their imperial army, eight Titan wielders, and numerous Titan candidates, also arrived at this place and discovered its rich and abundant resources. Both sides desired to seize these resources at the entrance, leading to a standoff. Hidden in the shadows, the current ancient emperor of the Marleyan Empire, leading his army, secretly observed the confrontation and improvised. Then, the three rulers and administrators of the three empires addressed the rulers and administrators of the Marleyan Empire: "Do you truly intend to seize these abundant and precious resources from us?" The rulers and administrators of the Marleyan Empire, without hesitation, declared that they too should hand over this land. This led to intense negotiations and discussions, which ultimately failed, resulting in war. The Marleyan Empire's rulers and administrators dispatched the wielders of the Eight Titans, who, through sheer exhaustion and a desperate burst of power, launched various attacks against the combined forces of the three empires. However, the combined forces, with their advanced weaponry and equipment, were overwhelmed by the terrifying firepower and were forced to retreat. Their incredible regenerative abilities allowed them to inflict some damage on the combined forces, but this regeneration also took a heavy toll on them. Because they were pushing themselves to their limits and barely managing to retreat... Upon reaching the Marleyan Empire's warship, the eight Titan wielders, having exhausted their powers and fallen to the deck, reverted to their Titan forms and reverted to human form. Exhausted and wounded, they collapsed, their life force barely a breath away. The Marleyan Empire's military leader ordered his troops to carry the eight weakened Titans to a secluded room on the warship. From the large pool of Titan candidates brought before them, eight more were selected. By the time they reached this room, the eight Titans had already passed away. The Marleyan military leader then ordered the selected eight candidates to quickly dismember the bodies of the previous eight Titan wielders and inherit their forms. The power of the Titans within them became the new generation of eight Titan wielders. This cycle repeated itself for a month, until only eight Titan wielders remained after a large number of Titan candidates. However, the combined forces of the three empires suffered heavy losses, with half of their army destroyed. This greatly angered the leaders and administrators of the Marleyan Empire. The leaders and administrators of the other three empires were also displeased, as they hadn't expected the Marleyan Titan candidates to use such a reckless human wave tactic, resulting in the combined forces of the three empires suffering heavy losses. Subsequently, the leaders and administrators of the Marleyan Empire, in order to prevent the power of the eight Titans from being lost... The Marleyan Emperor ordered the last eight Titan wielders to stand beside him. Simultaneously, the Marleyan Empire's rulers and administrators commanded the Imperial Army to launch a full-scale attack on the three combined Imperial armies, which had suffered heavy losses. However, due to the disparity in weaponry, the Marleyan army was overwhelmed. Therefore, the current Marleyan Emperor secretly dispatched Marleyan soldiers to infiltrate the Marleyan army, preserving their human forms and unleashing their full power to overcome the equipment disadvantage. This led to an extremely fierce battle. Because the Marleyan soldiers, disguised as Marleyan soldiers, fought with reckless abandon, they temporarily suppressed half of the remaining strength of the three combined Imperial armies. The terrifying power of the ultimate weapons and equipment led the rulers and administrators of the three empires to order their combined armies to fight desperately against the Malaigan Empire's army, which was disguised as the Malaigan Empire's army. The current Malaigan Emperor, operating from the shadows, instructed the Eldian Empire's army to exert their full strength without revealing their inhuman nature. After several days and nights of fierce fighting, neither side could gain the upper hand; further fighting would result in the annihilation of both sides. Therefore, the leaders and administrators of both empires decided to order their respective imperial armies to halt, and the two sides resumed negotiations. A heated discussion ensued. Because the leaders and administrators of the three empires were wary of any possible contingencies by the Marleyan Empire, they agreed to share 40% of the abundant and valuable resources with the Marleyan Empire. After several days of this distribution, the leaders and administrators of the three empires, together with 60% of the resources, led their combined armies back to their respective countries to recuperate. Meanwhile, the leaders and administrators of the three empires discussed and marveled at the depth of the Marleyan Empire's hidden strength. Consequently, they decided to increase all resources and support for the top talents, exceptional individuals, and extraordinary individuals jointly cultivated by the three empires. Meanwhile, in the shadows, the current ancient emperor of the Maraigu Empire had his troops, disguised as Maraigu soldiers, feign death by accident after being severely wounded. The Maraigu soldiers then concealed their presence and returned to the emperor's hidden base. The rulers and administrators of the Maraigu Empire, seeing those wounded soldiers who had fallen into the sea, returned with a small contingent of troops to the empire for recuperation. They also distributed substantial compensation and honors to the families of the fallen Maraigu soldiers. This decisive battle made the rulers and administrators of the Marley Empire realize that having only Titans was not enough; they also needed to focus on technology. In addition, they knew the terrifying power of the Titans possessed by the ancient Eldian emperor. Therefore, they thought that if they could seize the Titan power of the ancient Eldian emperor, and with their eight Titan power holders, they could completely defeat the other three empires and become the only true overlord in the world. Thus, the rulers and administrators of the Marley Empire began to select personnel and re-select eight of the strongest people to inherit the Titan power and infiltrate the island where the ancient Eldian emperor was located.
