King

Chapter 243 Using yourself as bait

Despite repeated shirks, Hudson still did not escape the fate of the coalition commander.

He readily refused the Mossi people's request. Unexpectedly, Lu Ziye from Mosi spent a lot of money to activate the communication magic circle and invited Caesar III to be a lobbyist.

Faced with the earnest persuasion of his boss, Hudson was still unable to withstand the pressure and reluctantly accepted this hot potato.

After rushing the duck to put it on the shelves, I have to admit that the Mosi people are really big-hearted and are not afraid of him being passive and slacking off.

In fact, Hudson really doesn't dare to make small moves now. For no other reason, his path to becoming a great noble was cut off after a huge defeat.

Perhaps it was because of this that Moxi tried so hard to push him to the top.

There is only one commander who is strong enough and will not squeeze out everyone's interests. His future is bound and he must work hard.

Being the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is extremely risky, and although the benefits are seriously insufficient, they are not completely absent.

For example: honorary title.

If you win this battle, you can at best get a marshal title awarded by the Principality of Moxi. If you win something beautiful, your kingdom may also grant one.

In the continent of Aslant, the marshal is very valuable. If you have not experienced hundreds of battles and have outstanding military exploits, you will not be awarded it at all.

Especially in this kind of resistance to foreign invasion, the title of marshal obtained can be enjoyed throughout the continent.

It is almost approaching the career ceiling of a soldier, and further up is the title of marshal awarded by the Human Alliance, which can directly enjoy marshal treatment in all human countries.

Although the marshals awarded by the Human Alliance have high gold content, the ones awarded are all big names in the history books. Each of them has made a significant contribution in the development of the human race, and there is no one alive now.

You can imagine how difficult it is. Anyway, just defeating the orc invasion is not enough. At least you have to lead the human army to kill a piece of meat from the orc empire.

Or if you participate in a few more battles against alien invasions, accumulate enough outstanding achievements, and have enough popularity, you may be able to get approval from the Alliance Parliament.

These are things that Hudson couldn't even imagine. Being able to get the title of marshal of a principality is enough for him to show off.

If he is lucky enough to get the title of marshal of his own kingdom, then he will instantly become an important military general of the Alpha Kingdom, or one of the military spokespersons.

Everyone would selectively ignore the problem of his original background and happily accept him into the circle of the great nobles.

Unlike now, even if Hudson gets the ticket to become a great noble, whether he can cross the threshold is still unknown.

Blessings come and misfortunes come!

While enjoying the dividends brought by the title of "Marshal", you also naturally need to bear the corresponding backlash.

"Acceptance" also means attention. Once a conflict of interest occurs, or even a potential conflict of interest occurs, everyone will regard him as an opponent of the same level.

It is impossible to continue to "suffer". Once the war ends, suppression is inevitable.

This is a challenge that all strata must go through. The difference is only that there are slightly more positions below, and the competition is not so fierce.

There is no need to complain, at least there is the possibility of transcending classes in the Alpha Kingdom. For those countries in the hinterland of the human race, fighting is like playing house, and there is no chance of class jump.

All are played according to the rules of the game, and the competition is about hard power. Even if there are all kinds of calculations and all kinds of hills and valleys, they are of no use.

Once the cake is divided at home, you can only go out and look for opportunities. After the orc invasion occurred, many knights from inland countries came to join the army.

With Hudson's reputation, the expeditionary force also recruited many noble children from foreign countries. It's a pity that their abilities in all aspects are very average. Most people's military literacy is limited to commanding a ten-man team.

Great talent, maybe! It's a pity that Hudson's reputation is obviously not enough to attract talented people to join him.

Of course, Hudson prefers to believe that talents are cultivated.

Without systematic knowledge inheritance, no matter how strong the talent is, it can be spoiled.

In his position, he seeks his own government.

This war was not easy to fight. After taking the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Hudson immediately began to take big actions.

The orc army is halfway along the road, and even if the Mossi destroys the road again, it won't be delayed for long.

It is definitely too late to train troops. The only thing that can be done is to temporarily integrate the command system and boost the morale of the troops.

The specific strategic deployment is one word "stability".

The 480,000 troops of the Principality of Moxi, plus the 110,000 expeditionary force, bring the total strength to nearly 600,000.

Commanding so many troops to fight was really a embarrassment to Hudson. Even though he had gone through many experiences on the battlefield, he still felt unsure about such a huge leap.

It looks like there are many soldiers, but in fact there are only about 100,000 elites. Among the remaining troops, there are only about 200,000 who have received military training and have been on the battlefield.

Regardless of other troops, Hudson, who inspected the military camp, can only use one word to describe it, that is "hard to describe".

They were either serfs who had just laid down their hoes, or free people who were forcibly recruited from nowhere. There is a high probability that there is a shortage of people, and it is a measure taken as a last resort in order to make up the number.

After all, the total registered population of the Principality of Moxi is just over 8 million. Even if something is hidden and concealed, the population will only be over 10 million at most.

As the war progresses, the Mossi people have lost seven or eight hundred thousand soldiers, if not one million.

The loss of a large number of young men will definitely seriously affect the recruitment work. In order to complete the task, it is not strange to recruit strong men to make up the numbers.

The soldiers were forcibly recruited and had not yet had time to undergo comprehensive military training. The morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers could not be counted on.

Fortunately, the enemy is the orcs, not the human civil war. Otherwise, when this kind of troops arrives on the battlefield, they will immediately start the destruction mode.

Considering the actual situation of the army, Hudson decisively decided that the infantry regiment's future combat strategy would be to "strengthen the stronghold and fight stupidly."

Don't expect a big victory, just don't suffer a big defeat. The problem of finding fighter planes is left to the cavalry corps.

It was purely forced by reality and could not solve the enemy's air force. Most of the tactics were unable to play their due role on the battlefield.

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash! Simply luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory can turn into a huge rout. You are simply..."

Emperor Beamon's furious curses were not at all like the physical condition that a three hundred-year-old man should have.

The uproarous incident about the secret method of immortality not only caused an uproar in human society, but also many immortals who were dying of their life within the orc empire were eyeing him.

If it weren't for the shock of Emperor Behemoth's growing power, I'm afraid someone would come directly to ask for it. Being able to endure it now does not mean that you will be able to endure it forever.

A strong person who has reached the end of his life span can do anything once he becomes crazy.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Emperor Behemoth was also secretly worried. The secret technique has reached the final stage, and the number of sacrifices required far exceeds his previous estimate.

There are only a few strong casual cultivators, and most of them are in major forces. It is not that easy to find a strong person who is alone and kill the sap.

As a last resort, he could only turn his attention to the battlefield. This is the only place where you can kill people in large numbers without arousing suspicion from the outside world.

In order to lure more masters to come over, when the news of the secret method came out, Emperor Behemoth simply went with the flow and allowed the message to spread.

Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. The masters were lured over, but the quantity was "a few hundred million points" more than expected, and the quality also exceeded expectations.

Although the old and powerful men are not as good as their peak bodies and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, these people also have their own advantages, such as rich combat experience.

Another example: Crazy enough. Whoever dares to block their pursuit of immortality will be their unrelenting enemy.

When the strength gap reaches a certain level, various strategies and tactics become unreliable. It was obviously just an attempt to lure the enemy deeper, but it turned out to be a huge rout, which became a common occurrence on the battlefield.

The fish was not lured to the predetermined position, and the bait was eaten by the enemy first. No wonder Emperor Behemoth couldn't suppress his anger.

It is not impossible to confront the enemy head-on, but this is destined to be an unequal exchange. Most of the people who come out of the human race are guys who have reached the end of their longevity. Even if the group is wiped out, it will not have a big impact on the strength of the race.

After all, even if these people don't die on the battlefield, they will die one after another in recent years.

Concentrate the power of the entire orc empire and exchange lives with a group of guys who are destined to die in the next few years. Even if Emperor Beamon is willing, the other four royal families will not agree.

What's more, they are scattered to begin with. What Emperor Behemoth can mobilize now is only the nearby troops.

The nominal number of troops is several million, but anyone with a little bit of military strength knows that it is impossible for so many troops to be gathered into a large camp.

The enemy was not a fool, so he just watched him deploying his troops and generals in a daze. If you want to make large-scale military adjustments on the front line, you will have to pay a very heavy price.

Before the army can assemble, it will probably be completely disrupted. In a purely military confrontation, there is really little hope of victory.

In order to teach the enemy a lesson, Emperor Behemoth also resorted to undermining tactics, preparing to rely on extraordinary means to reverse the current strategic passivity.

Unfortunately, the enemy was also a group of old foxes. After defeating the three main legion baits that had been sent out, they immediately turned and attacked a nearby orc army, not following his plan at all.

Swearing can't solve any problem. After suffering defeats for several days, the morale of the army has long been at its lowest point.

Even though Emperor Beamon wanted to hold the people responsible for the defeat, he didn't know who to start with. All generals suffer defeat together, then defeat is the right thing to do, and victory is the other way around.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's strength is too strong. The number of strong men accompanying us is too small. Almost as soon as we show up, we will be surrounded by the enemy, which will do too much damage to the morale and morale of the army.

Especially during a war, as long as officers come out to direct the battle, it is difficult to escape the clutches of the enemy..."

Abraham explained bravely.

As one of the defeated generals, he had suffered several defeats. After losing a lot, I gradually got used to it.

Staring at Abraham fiercely, Emperor Beamon temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest. The reasons are all real. The orc army continues to suffer miserable defeats. The biggest reason is that there are too few strong ones.

Many times, after a head-on collision, the enemy is defeated. The most direct reason is that a large number of front-line officers commanding the battle were killed.

Anyone who dares to take the lead must be prepared to be killed, so that after successive defeats, the death rate of officers has remained high, especially among middle- and high-level generals.

After gathering the defeated troops, it is really a defeated army. For the first time, there was a "vacancy of officers" in the various units below.

The position of officer, which was once a hotly contested position, has now become a hot potato. Hearing the word "promote" can cause cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of many orcs.

"I don't want to hear your explanation. Aren't all of them quite capable in the past? They clamor for the destruction of the human race every day and want our orc empire to return to the era of subversion.

Now that your wish has been fulfilled and war has broken out, why don't you implement it?

Let me tell you, the enemy is really ruthless this time. They don't care which race or tribe you are. As long as you show your decadence, the enemy will fight their way into the Orc Empire.

Just like the destruction of many alien races that disappeared, we will be wiped out from the continent of Aslant.

Even if there are survivors, they are just hanging on. Under the rule of the human race, they were in fear and trembling all day long.

If you don’t want that scene to happen, just show me all your skills. Let the enemy know that we orcs are not easy to mess with, and dispel their unrealistic fantasies! "

Emperor Behemoth scolded him sternly.

The hatred that was obviously caused by him completely changed its taste when it came to his mouth, and became a problem for all the orcs.

The cause is not important, the key is the result. They have already taken action. With the hatred between humans and beasts, if there is a chance to destroy the orc empire, they will definitely not show mercy.

Others don't know about the "secret method of immortality", but the person involved, Emperor Beimeng, understands it very well.

This thing must never be handed over. Once he takes it out, his descendants will be the first to rebel.

What's more, this evil secret method seems to have extremely strong side effects. Even if you hand it over, people won't believe it.

There is a high probability that people will think that this is a conspiracy he hatched to provoke infighting among the human race.

Who makes the secret method too difficult?

If you want to try it, not only do you need a large number of masters to serve as sacrifices, but you also have to kill a son to bear the backlash.

The entry requirements have blocked countless people. Even if they have the ability to complete it, how many people are willing to foolishly kill a son for an experiment for a secret method whose authenticity cannot be determined?

The most embarrassing thing is that it is not enough for one son to devote himself. He must also have enough sons, otherwise he will not be able to bear so much backlash.

Looking at the entire Aslant continent, there are very few that can meet all the conditions. A secret method that is destined to be impossible to cast will definitely not satisfy everyone.

"Your Majesty, if you want to lure the enemy into taking the bait, I'm afraid it won't work according to the previous methods.

Unless extraordinary measures are taken, let them have a reason to come. Otherwise, it will be difficult to lure them over. "

Abraham's suggestion made Emperor Beamon change his expression. The "reason why he had to come" was clearly to let him use his body as bait to catch human masters.

He wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, Emperor Behemoth swallowed them back.

In recent days, the orc army has suffered a lot of losses. The number of soldiers killed in battle even exceeded the total of the previous months.

Even the elite legions of the five royal families were overturned by the enemy more than a dozen times. The troops who did not have a head-on confrontation with the enemy were all trembling with fear.

If this situation continues, I don't know if the human masters can be led into a trap. Anyway, the orc army on the front line is going to be really cool.

It is impossible for the officers and soldiers under his command not to be resentful after being defeated one after another.

Even though they didn't say anything, deep down in their hearts, they probably wanted to send their best wishes to Emperor Beamon's family.

It can be suppressed in a short period of time, but over time, it will eventually explode.

"Okay, this time I will be in charge of the Central Army myself!"
