"What reinforcements are coming?"

Hudson asked in disbelief.

The reinforcements from the Human Alliance have been waiting in the Principality of Moxi for two months without any movement. It's hard not to be surprised that he arrived at the front line so quickly.

In fact, this "fast" is also relative. They had already set off while Hudson was still on his way to Northland.

We wandered all the way to Fort Augustus and stopped again. It wasn't until the Northern Expeditionary Army decided to break out that they took action again.

Calculating the distance, they arrived at Zijing Pass at this time, which can only be regarded as normal marching speed.

"Yes, Earl. This is a document sent to you by the Bauhinia Pass defenders, and is a document sent by the remaining reinforcements from the Human Alliance."

After receiving a thick stack of documents from the messenger, Hudson was so angry that he wanted to curse.

The bureaucrats of the Human Alliance Council did not appoint a military commander in chief, and all reinforcements were carried out independently.

Now he suddenly understood why the Orc Empire was so active and could still exist.

If the Human Alliance keeps playing like this, it will be impossible to destroy the Orc Empire.

There are more than a hundred large and small forces in the alliance, and the difficulty of coordinating internal relationships is enough to be suffocating.

Without a unified military commander, everyone was doing their own thing, and they were able to beat the orcs back simply by crushing them with force.

There's no point in getting angry, the paperwork still needs to be read. These are all official documents, and each document represents a force.

After a brief glance at the official documents from all parties, which were mostly the same, Hudson's patience was exhausted.

Just looking at the pile of documents in front of him, he knew that the next biggest task was not to fight, but to coordinate the various reinforcements from the Human Alliance.

It was impossible to reply by hand. He had to write more than a hundred letters, so he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"After traveling such a long way, you guys should go down and rest first! Tom, summon the noble officers above the viscount in the army to come over to discuss the matter."

Discussions are nonsense, helping write official documents and replies is what they need to do.

This kind of delicate work can only be done by middle- and high-level nobles. If you leave it to the younger brother below, who does not have certain political experience, he will be able to reply to the letter without any trouble.

All parties sent official documents, although the overall meaning was similar, they were all routine greetings, and by the way, they proposed their own ideas for the next battle.

But when it comes to specific details, each company’s focus is different. Out of mutual political respect, a targeted reply is necessary.

Even before seeing each other, the workload has increased so much, and Hudson is speechless.

But if you don't use the reinforcements, it will be in vain. This is the right way to fool people first.

Now that the orcs have divided their forces, they are no match for the coalition forces as long as they are left to hunt down some of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

…

In the camp of Beamon's army, Prince Butzweig was enjoying the roast leg of lamb with a contented look on his face. The dishes full of spices placed next to him seemed to speak of his heroism.

This southern invasion may not bring much other gains, but in terms of economic gains, the Orc Empire still makes a lot of money.

Along the way, we were either fighting or robbing, and we really got a lot of good things.

The spices that were originally valuable arrived at Prince Butzweig, and now they have become common food on the table.

In the past, this high-end product had to be paired with Warcraft meat. Ordinary cattle and sheep are simply not qualified to be placed with these spices.

"Your Highness, Duke Daniel invites you to send troops together to annihilate the reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom, seize the enemy's defense line, and then march straight in to destroy King Alpha..."

Before the last word "country" could be uttered, the leg of lamb in Prince Butzweig's hand had already fallen to the ground. Even the open mouth could not be closed for a while.

The information was so exciting that he seemed to have heard a joke as he drove straight to destroy the Alpha Kingdom.

Concentrating the power of the entire orc empire, countless beast kings have struggled for their entire lives, but none of them have been able to achieve their goals.

With only the few troops in their hands, all of them were cavalry, even if they fought all the way into the hinterland of the Alpha Kingdom, they could only look at the city wall and sigh.

After calming down, Prince Butzweig took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and began to think.

Duke Daniel, he still knows better. The God of War of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan would never come up with such a fantasy plan without special reasons.

Thinking of the current situation in the Orc Empire, he suddenly understood. It wasn't that Duke Daniel was out of his mind, it was just that he was too sober.

If you want to reverse the decline of the Orc Empire, the best and only way is to create a shocking victory.

Victory on the battlefield can not only suppress domestic conflicts, but also stimulate the various races in the mainland who are watching.

Neither the Warhammer Kingdom nor the Principality of Moxi are important enough. If you want to truly intimidate the heroes, you can only attack the Alpha Kingdom.

The problem is that this is only theoretically possible. Everyone knew the strategic significance of destroying the Alpha Kingdom, but the problem was that he really saw no hope of success.

Is this the difference between a battlefield veteran and a god of war?

Just as he was about to say something, Prince Butzweig noticed his counselor winking, and he understood instantly.

"Tell the person who came here that this matter involves too much and I have no right to make the decision. I must first ask Queen Beamon to make a decision."

Whether it is feasible militarily is still unknown; but politically, he absolutely cannot mix it up.

If he wins the battle, it will arouse greater fear than Emperor Meng, and it is unknown whether he can escape unscathed.

If you lose the fight, let alone being held accountable is a must. Being able to legitimately eliminate a hidden danger that threatened the throne, he didn't think that Emperor Beamon would be merciful.

In any country full of barbarism, the struggle for imperial power is very fierce. All rules of order do not apply here. Only the weak and the strong can prevail.

It seems that the dust has settled, but in fact the battle for the throne of the Behemoth clan has not really come to an end yet.

As the new Beast King, Alex's reputation in the imperial court is not high due to his previous personal reputation.

There are several challengers, including Prince Butzweig, who all have the power to threaten his throne.

No civil strife broke out because the current situation was too complicated and no one dared to take rash actions that would trigger an unpredictable crisis.

Not moving does not mean that you cannot move. If Alex wants to secure the throne, he must either eliminate his competitors or subdue his competitors to take advantage of him.

When it comes to factional struggles, it is no longer up to Prince Butzweig himself to have the final say. Even if he wanted to step down, the interest groups behind him would not agree.

…

In the Lion Tribe camp, Marquis Wusuh also received similar information at almost the same time.

Compared with Prince Butzweig's excuse for delaying, Marquis Wusuch's performance was much more straightforward.

"Let someone tell Duke Daniel that the great strategic plan he proposed can be done by whoever wants to do it. Don't take me with you anyway!"

Marquis Wusuhe said angrily.

He didn't understand the strategic plan proposed by Duke Daniel at all. Experience tells him that the best way to deal with a plan that he doesn't understand is to stay away.

…

"Your Majesty the Earl, we cannot continue like this! We must move closer to reinforcements, otherwise..."

The words were only half spoken, but Earl Pierce still felt the pressure. There was no other way, but the news that he had painstakingly blocked spread among the army.

Although the decision that day was led by Earl Pierce, it was also a common choice made by everyone. Even if everyone was in a very unhappy mood, they were too embarrassed to blame him, the boss, on this issue. At most, they could just complain in their hearts.

But now it's different. Seeing that Hudson kept his promise and went to rescue people without any selfish motives, everyone had mixed feelings.

If they don't act smart, their losses will be greatly reduced. Especially those nobles whose relatives died in the war were suffering the most.

People are always used to shirk responsibility and are unwilling to admit their villainy, so they simply put the blame on Earl Pierce.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's all the boss's blind direction that has led to the current bitter consequences.

This kind of self-shirking of responsibility deep in the heart made everyone have endless resentment towards Earl Pierce. Now we have reached the breaking point, and the team will fall apart if we are not careful.

"Okay, let's go over and meet up now! But as for Earl Hudson, I would like to ask Viscount Oran to send someone to coordinate."

After all, I couldn't withstand the pressure. Between the safety of the army and face, Earl Pierce chose the former.

It's a pity that it's still a little late. There are less than 3,000 people in the team that was with them, and the nobles' children have also been greatly reduced.

If you want to join up with the reinforcements, you have to face the hunt by the orc army. No one can tell how many people will be left in the end.

Even though there were scattered soldiers in other places, under the constant pursuit of the orcs, it would be difficult to think about the number of men and horses that could be gathered together in the end.

Such a heavy loss was a fatal blow to most of the nobles in the province. Including the Dalton family and the Hollisle family.

It can be said that apart from Earl Pierce, Viscount Oran has the most complicated heart.

Like most middle-class nobles who had the opportunity to replace him, he originally wanted to trick his teammates secretly and clear the obstacles on the road to revival for his family.

Unexpectedly, without him taking action, everyone would suffer heavy losses together.

At the last moment, I had to ask my son-in-law for help. If Hudson carries out the plan previously agreed upon by both parties, the Holliser family may also be left in the cold.

There is no family affection before interests, and the world of aristocrats is realistic. Stabbing in the back is a daily operation, not to mention just refusing to save someone.

"no problem!"

No matter how complicated his heart was, Viscount Oran still agreed. But deep down in my heart, I inevitably made a mark for Earl Pierce.

I just let someone go, and now I want others to lend a helping hand. I am obviously making things difficult for them.

Now for him to come forward to coordinate, obviously to use the special relationship between him and Hudson to break this deadlock.

After all, there are in-laws involved. If he didn't care about it, Hudson would never want to hang out in the aristocratic circle.

Nobility is a relationship society, and no one wants to make friends with a guy who doesn't recognize his relatives. Even if it's just to look good, you have to lend a helping hand.

No one lost anything, the only thing that was damaged was Viscount Oran's face. But facing the eager eyes of all the nobles in the province, he really couldn't resist.
