King

The uninvited crown prince was welcomed, and the military camp suddenly became lively, and Hudson's head also grew bigger.

Inspections are inspections. From the performance of Crown Prince Caesar, it is clear that he wants to keep his camp here and is not ready to leave.

It can only be said that performing too well is also a sin. As the only unit in the expeditionary force that seemed to have combat effectiveness, it naturally attracted more attention from above.

With an extra boss watching over me, it's inconvenient to do anything. For example: the marching speed that was just reduced must be restored again.

From an armed march marching twenty miles a day, it has once again evolved to an elite standard of marching sixty miles a day.

Fortunately for these soldiers, the food standards have been improved since the kingdom ordered mobilization half a year ago. My current physical fitness is sufficient for such a high-intensity march.

Coupled with the arrival of the crown prince, his morale was further boosted, and his performance along the way was remarkable.

The people below were excited, but Hudson was not happy. The arrival of Crown Prince Caesar, which seemed to have no impact on him, actually weakened his control over the troops.

The little nobles under his command were as excited as if they were celebrating a festival when they heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here.

If it weren't for the strict hierarchy within the nobility, which constrained their behavior, these guys might have been unable to help but get closer and try to show off in front of the crown prince.

"Legion Commander, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you!"

The guard's words made Hudson frown. Others would hold banquets every now and then, but he accepted invitations every day.

The content of the discussion is also varied. Sometimes it is to discuss the situation in the kingdom, sometimes it is to discuss the next march route and combat deployment, and sometimes it is just to listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s complaints...

Most of the time, Hudson was in the role of listener. It's not that he deliberately hides his clumsiness, it's just that the questions raised by Crown Prince Caesar are very sensitive every time.

As the Crown Prince, he is already among the top dignitaries in mainland China. It doesn't matter what situation he comments on or what radical views he expresses.

But not Hudson. Due to his status, he cannot get too involved in sensitive issues, let alone take a stand easily.

Hudson could only deal with the wooing of Crown Prince Caesar. Although this is the king's only legitimate son, he is not the king after all.

Even if he does become king, Hudson will not defect to him easily. Caesar III was strong because his political skills were strong enough and his actions were grand enough to be convincing.

Just because I am powerful does not necessarily mean that my son will be powerful. Most of the time, if I have a strong father, my son will most likely be raised to waste.

It is not yet clear whether Crown Prince Caesar has been abandoned, but his desire to make achievements and surpass his father has been shown.

A crown prince who wants to pursue a career is destined to be disliked by the great nobles. After being suppressed by Caesar III for so long, no one wants to be suppressed forever.

When Crown Prince Caesar comes to power, there will inevitably be a backlash for the right to speak politically.

Hudson doesn't want to get caught up in a game of this level. If you fall on the wrong team, you will have a hard time in the future.

"I know, I'll be there right away."

After all, it was the Crown Prince who invited him. After saying this, Hudson dropped what he was doing and walked out of his tent.

…

"Your Highness, the difficulties faced by each reinforcement force are different. Without a deep understanding, it is difficult to find the key to the problem.

It may be difficult for them to catch up. It is better to let each province conduct self-examination, find out where the problems lie, and solve the problem of slow action as soon as possible. "

Another day of discussion around the slowness of colleagues. Smooth Hudson naturally wouldn't say anything that would disgrace the scenery.

Let all provinces conduct self-examination, which is obviously just a show. If the problem could be solved, things wouldn't be delayed until now.

As for the Crown Prince's request, let the reinforcements from all walks of life catch up as soon as possible, unless the Wright County Army slows down and waits.

Otherwise, at the current speed of sixty miles a day, running in front, unless the people behind are allowed to fly, it will be impossible to catch up.

"Why!"

"The situation is difficult, why don't those guys know how to take care of the overall situation?

If everyone was as dedicated and conscientious as Viscount Hudson, there would be no need to worry about the injustice of the orcs!

…”

Hudson pretended not to hear the crown prince's indignant complaints. He would not do this kind of thing that offends people for no reason.

In fact, judging from the official public information, colleagues from all walks of life have performed very well.

All reinforcements have already set off. Even the slowest marching team can reach forty miles a day.

For a team that was put together temporarily, being able to achieve this speed obviously gave Caesar the face of the crown prince.

A march like the Wright County Regiment that travels sixty miles a day is already a manifestation of the kingdom's elite.

Of course, an army composed of pure practitioners does not count.

The standard equipment for those guys starts with a daily mileage of eighty miles. If there were no logistical hindrances, it would be easy to travel hundreds of miles in a day.

Perhaps because he felt that Crown Prince Caesar was acting a bit rude, Count Jose on the side changed the subject and said:

"Your Highness, the special envoy from the Principality of Moxi will join us soon, do you think?"

When he heard "The Principality of Moxi", Crown Prince Caesar, who was still complaining, instantly became energetic.

"This is a time of war, so the reception work should be kept simple. I guess the special envoy of the Principality of Moxi will not mind these details.

We don't know enough about the situation on the front lines of the Principality of Moxi. If we rush to the battlefield, we will suffer big losses.

It would be best to rest in the Principality of Moxi for a while and wait for reinforcements from various countries to gather before taking the next step.

These things must be explained clearly to them first. It would be bad to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. "

Caesar's words made Hudson's eyes light up.

Just looking at this "knowledge" ability, you know that the crown prince in front of you still has political acumen.

Even if he aspires to make great achievements, he has not forgotten his position. As reinforcements, they are only here to help, not to withstand thunder.

In a war within the scope of one's ability, it is natural to help. You still have to shirk things that are beyond your own capabilities.

Make the topic clear in advance and inoculate the Principality of Moxi, so as not to assign tasks randomly and make everyone unhappy.

…

In the Principality of Moxi, after the initial joy, the deteriorating situation on the front line quickly brought Chris IX back to reality.

In addition to the original Yingren Imperial Court, the armies of the other four imperial courts also appeared in the Principality of Moxi, and the assembled orc army exceeded 600,000.

The most direct response to the huge military pressure was emergency letters from the front line, one after another.

The counterattack plan can't be taken care of for the time being. The most important thing now is to take care of the present.

"When will reinforcements arrive?"

Chris IX asked with concern.

The Principality of Moxi has begun full-scale mobilization, and the reserve teams prepared in advance are now sent to the front line.

Even so, it could only barely block the enemy's front. As time goes by, the defensive pressure is increasing.

Relying solely on the strength of the Principality of Moxi, there is almost no hope of blocking the orc army.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated with various countries. The Alpha Kingdom's reinforcements are moving the fastest, and the 20,000 elite members of the vanguard have already arrived at the border area.

The follow-up troops are also on the way, but their marching speed is slower.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively courting Crown Prince Caesar.

If everything goes well, we will have the first support force in ten days. "

Renato replied slightly embarrassed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is really trying its best, but it will take time for reinforcements to arrive.

Plans never change quickly. I originally thought that the Alpha Kingdom would dispatch reinforcements from nearby, but instead they dispatched troops from the rear.

They didn't say anything, but in actual actions, the Alpha Kingdom had shown its disdain for them.

Especially in the border areas, the defenses that are constantly rising are clearly preparations for the fall of the Principality of Moxi.

You know, you know, Renato must never say this kind of thing, otherwise the people in the country will be in chaos.

Not only is the performance of Alpha Kingdom disappointing, but the performance of its surrounding neighbors is also unsatisfactory.

Reinforcements were indeed sent out, but the quality is hard to describe.

According to the intelligence collected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of all the known reinforcements, only the "Wright County Regiment" can be called an elite division.

In line with the principle of reporting good news but not bad news, Renato could only choose good content to talk about.

The rest of the troubles can be reported to the king privately, there is no need to make the whole world aware of it.

"Send someone to urge them again and tell the nobles who come to the rescue that as long as they make great contributions in the defense of the Principality of Moxi, we will definitely reward them heavily.

Gold, silver, jewellery, fine clothes, food, beauties and titles are all available, even a fiefdom! "

Chris IX said cruelly.

Nobles are all realistic. It is impossible to get everyone to work hard without giving them some benefits.

These are all based on the Alpha Kingdom. Every time a war ends, a large number of foreign nobles will be rewarded among the reinforcements from various countries.

Occasionally, there are foreign nobles who take root in the Alpha Kingdom and open another branch.

But these are things of the past. A country that is often beaten is not so attractive to nobles.

Especially fiefdoms, which are basically on the front line. If you want to defend your own territory, you must fight the orcs desperately.

Most of the nobles who obtained their fiefs fell on the battlefield under the baptism of the orc army one after another.

There were many cases of failure, and the great nobles of various countries who had learned the lesson gradually gave up the idea of ​​opening branches in the Alpha Kingdom.

The land that was once awarded as a reward, after several turnovers, finally returned to the hands of the Alpha Kingdom.

There are ready-made cases, so Chris IX naturally wants to follow suit. Although the success rate of fooling people is not high, it never hurts to give it a try.

Anyway, the war has been going on so far, and many unclaimed lands have appeared in the Principality of Moxi. If this fight continues, there will only be more ownerless land.

There was no problem in fulfilling the fiefdom promise after the war. On the contrary, it is the finances in gold, silver and jewelry that are really difficult to cash out.

…

In the Warhammer Kingdom, Joseph II was furious as he watched the orc army constantly testing its borders.

It was clearly agreed that everyone would join forces to counterattack, but as a result, they were ready to take action, but the Moxi Principality was immediately blocked and had to wait for reinforcements from various countries to arrive.

The reinforcements from neighboring countries did not wait, but the orc reinforcements arrived first.

Although the orcs' military strength was far from enough for the battle to destroy the country, it also put great pressure on the Warhammer Kingdom.

In order not to irritate the orcs, Joseph II even ordered the frontline troops to prohibit active provocation.

From a military perspective, this is a very funny order.

The two countries have been at war for almost half a year, and it is really ridiculous that they still use the word "provocation".

But there is no way, the Warhammer Kingdom is no match for the orc army. Once the orcs are angered, they will be burned and the country will be destroyed.

"The Human Alliance meeting is about to start. Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have a strategy to convince the human countries to send troops and reinforcements as soon as possible?"

Joseph II asked expectantly.

Looking at the efficiency of several neighbors in rescuing the Principality of Moxi, we know that it will definitely take a long time for the entire human alliance to take action.

Referring to alliance meetings in history, they can last for one or two months, and can last for three to five years.

Fortunately, we are now conquering the world. If we had played like this when we were conquering the world, I guess the human race would have been left in the cold.

Just holding a meeting can be so procrastinating, but there is no need to count on the efficiency of specific execution.

All parties reached an agreement within half a year and sent reinforcements within a year. This was the highest efficiency of the alliance when the Alpha Kingdom asked for help in the past.

Most of the time, it will take more than two years before reinforcements from various countries arrive one after another.

Of course, there is the factor of long distance, but more importantly, there are too many entangled interests that are difficult to deal with.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated the relations between the eleven countries, and we will jointly propose a proposal at the alliance meeting.

The Alpha Kingdom stated that they have a high degree of confidence in persuading the Frankish Kingdom to support the proposal, but the trouble is that the Holy See may cause trouble.

At present, we have reached an agreement with 11 interested countries, and we have formed a public relations team together to win the support of as many countries as possible. "

Cassidy said tiredly.

These days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is definitely the busiest department in the Warhammer Kingdom.

In order to encourage the Human Alliance to send troops, everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tried their best.

The eleven-nation joint proposal also has a nice name.

Except for the Alpha Kingdom, the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Principality of Moxi, whose words had some weight, the rest of the small countries followed suit.

There is nothing wrong with someone waving the flag and shouting, but it is a pity that the people who are persuaded are the neighboring countries of the three countries.

Everyone is willing to participate mainly because they are worried that if there is a problem in the Three Kingdoms, the war will burn on their own heads.

"It's the Holy See again, can't they do some personnel work!"

Joseph II couldn't help but complain.

Of all the qualified kings, none likes the Holy See.

Finally, hundreds of years ago, everyone worked together to force the Holy See back to its hometown. No one wanted to return to the hundreds of years of white terror.

Perhaps because he felt that the complaints were not enough to relieve his anger, Joseph II added: "If the Holy See dares to cause trouble on the issue of sending troops, then support the Franks' proposal and bring down the face of the Holy See!"
