The outbreak of the Battle of Glovertham River could be said to be both unexpected and reasonable. After more than a month of stalemate, Alvin finally couldn't take it anymore.
Earlier, there was also Acker's extreme dissuasion, thinking Marx's side was just a bunch of commoners with not much food; just dragging on for two or more months should be enough to wear the opponent down. Marx's troops would naturally run away by then without losing a single person, and they could easily take down this opponent.
But now, Acker was under arrest, so the other generals and advisors on Alvin's side felt that they should take the initiative, otherwise, it would look too unimpressive. Alvin originally wanted to show his strength to the forces of the world and make a tough impression.
Soon to be spoken for, it was decided to send troops across the water to fight. Talking about the strength of the two sides, Alvin's side had the advantage as the number was 100,000. Although not fully that much, it was 70,000 to 80,000. 50,000 of them were regular troops.
On Marx's side, the regular army was less than 20,000, while most of the rest were just there to make up the numbers.
At the same time, all forces were also watching this battle. Since the world was in chaos, it was the biggest battle ever since the establishment of the Imperium.
Alvin was riding on a high horse, looking at the men in front of him, he smiled arrogantly. The people next to him also joined in.
However, in the next moment, his laughter came to a screeching halt, as he saw a cavalry force suddenly appear on the other side! It was not a firearm in their hands, instead, they had a spear. They were quickly rushing towards Alvin's men who had just climbed ashore. The leader was none other than the chief general under Marx, Lorn Ewart.
Alvin's group did not expect that the enemy dared to initiate the attack. In a hurry, just a few random shots were fired, it was avoided by the cavalry that rushed over.
On the river bank, it was a mess. Ewart led the cavalry to charge directly into the water and started killing.
During this period, there were also people shouting "Marx has revolted, Alvin is dead" and similar rumors. Many people trusted Alvin but hearing this, there was even more chaos, they scattered and fled. Most of them fled backward and the guards behind them could not distinguish the situation and fled with them.
A strange scene appeared on the Glovertham River, Ewart's side had no more than 10,000 people, but they chased and killed many of Alvin's men. This battle fell towards Marx's side in such an unexpected way.
This year Elizabeth was 23 years old when the Battle of Glovertham River broke out and the ending surprised everyone. Marx's side won with fewer people and defeated Alvin in such a significant way.
Alvin fled in haste with the remnants of his army and fled back to his home in the north. From then on, he lost the qualification to compete for the world and the strategist Acker took a part of his men with him and yielded to the Astra Militarum. Marx became famous and his fame even surpassed that of the Astra Militarum. There was a faint title of the strongest force in the Central Plains.
Meanwhile, the Astra Militarum relied on recruiting troops and others to join, so their number exceeded 10,000 for the first time.
When Elizabeth was now 24 years old, the first real pipeline was built and the concept of the factory was born. The first bank was also opened by the Astra Militarum. With a further increase in productivity, the Astra Militarum further expanded its army and the number rose to 20,000.
At the end of the year, the most critical event of the year was announced by Elizabeth herself, the Institute of Supernatural Research was established again. The first batch of personnel was one hundred people and the president was Elizabeth herself. Information that had been sealed since the era of Kai was opened again.
The corpse of a supernatural being inside the royal tomb was also once again opened for study. Since then, the focus of the Astra Militarum began to shift. Elizabeth spent most of her time on supernatural research, while various matters of the outside were handed over to Rommel.
When Elizabeth was 25 years old, the situation in the Central Plains had changed again. Urho Fleming, a subordinate of Austyn Yasuda in the south was turned by Simon, so he took his men and horses and defected to the Astra Militarum.
Yasuda was furious at the news and gathered all the troops, all the troops were ready to crusade against the Astra Militarum.
At this time, the continuous rise of the Astra Militarum had already raised the alarm of the major forces. Marx, who got the news, responded immediately. He also led an army of 60,000 from the north.
More than 100,000 troops surrounded the Royal Tombs Mountains and it surprised the whole world. This was a great battle, and it was considered by the major forces to be the battle to decide the ownership of the Central Plains.
The Astra Militarum had only just reached 30,000 troops at this time, so it was completely at a disadvantage. However, no one expected that the Astra Militarum would take the initiative to attack.
At night, they raided Yasuda's army, which was sleepy and exhausted. On Yasuda's side, surprisingly, there was no resistance. Not even a single person from the Astra Militarum was seen, and the camp was battered by artillery fire and bullets.
Yasuda was so frightened that he ran away in a panic. 50,000 guardsmen were turned to ashes in a single night, even Yasuda himself was hit by a stray bullet and died shortly after going back.
Marx's side hadn't gotten the news yet, but the Astra Militarum was non-stop, it turned to the north and launched a frontal offensive against Marx's army. At the same time, there was also a sudden rebellion within Marx's army.
General Ewart rebelled with an army of 10,000. This great general, Ewart, was also the successor of the Token. Long ago, he was turned by Simon, but he was hiding under Marx's subordinates and was waiting for this very opportunity.
Marx claimed to have an army of 60,000 people, but most of them were fishermen, they had almost no fighting power, so Ewart led the rebellion but with elite Guardsmen.
At this time, the news of Yasuda's group being wiped out came in. Under this double blow, Marx's army was unable to offer any decent resistance, and lots of people surrendered. Marx could only flee in a hurry with dozens of personal guards. In a panic, he escaped to the north to the Byrum family's territory.
The Byrum family was badly hurt at that time, but it was still the number one powerhouse in the area. Marx was tied up by the local family and sent to Alvin. Alvin, who was angry, personally did it and Marx died.
This battle shook the whole world and all the forces felt a chill that penetrated to the marrow of their bones. Since the Astra Militarum was so strong, the Central Plains were united.
The Astra Militarum headed north and the capital was captured. With the cooperation of advisor Hartmann Wynne, they purged one power after another, and almost all of the forces were swept away.
Prince Ernst was also shivering with fear. He didn't dare to show off again when everyone thought that Princess Elizabeth would abolish the puppet emperor or the regent next. However, the Astra Militarum returned to a low profile, so nothing much happened next.
After these two battles, the Astra Militarum absorbed Marx and Yasuda's men. Their numbers had skyrocketed again, and it came reached 50,000 people. After deliberation, Elizabeth made the final call. The same as that of the era of Kai, the number of the Astra Militarum was reduced to 30,000 and the rest of the Guardsmen served as a reserve army.
Seeing this, Sebastian nodded slightly. Compared to Kai, Elizabeth had a weakness, that was, she did not like killing. So, she had always thought of resolving disputes by peaceful means.
However, after Sebastian's instructions were given, Elizabeth ruthlessly used force to settle the surrounding forces and the Astra Militarum fought a lot in the dark. Since then, Elizabeth also gradually changed.
"A soft-hearted person can't be a good leader." Elizabeth looked at the sky and remembered the words left in Kai's diary!

The next day, Sebastian arrived at the Planet Association as before.
Croft and the others were already waiting there. This time they were going to a planet without an owner, so it wasn't in a large airship like the last one; instead, Croft rented one independently. Large airships were like the flight planes of his previous world.
Many people could ride in them while a small airship was for a private person. Of course, it was also more expensive. Compared to the possible gains, that was not much of an expense. Soon, Sebastian once again came to the Unowned planet.
"This is the channel mark of that card planet." Croft took out four seal crystals and distributed them to Sebastian and others.
They took it one by one.
"Set up the channel mark first and adjust the time flow rate, about an hour later..."
