King

Chapter 302 Post-War Era

“Let’s wait and see again!

Your Majesty the Viscount, the orcs are not soft persimmons. Despite the rapid advance of the coalition forces, if it were our people, it would be a different situation!

The enemy has become frightened, and it is no longer possible to prevent them from being careless and dividing their troops at will. "

Hudson declined.

It is easy to create combat opportunities, but the problem is that with the few remaining soldiers in the hands of the Hollister family, a Beamon Cavalry Regiment can destroy them.

Including the members of the Koslow family, he did not deliberately arrange tasks to gain military exploits. Not only because Hudson needs to be fair and strict, but also because he cannot bear unexpected losses.

Opportunities are reserved for those with strength.

"That's it!

I'm too greedy.

Hudson, just treat what I just said as if I didn’t say it. The Holliser family can no longer withstand the hardships. If they lose the last of their wealth, it will be useless no matter how great their military exploits are! "

Viscount Oran said with lingering fear.

After calming down, he realized how dangerous his idea was. If you go to the battlefield with insufficient strength, you will not be able to seize the opportunity no matter how good the fighter is.

Just like Hudson's "use beasts to control beasts and split the orc empire strategy", he clearly planned it himself, but in the end he shared it with the coalition forces.

It's not that they don't want to eat alone, it's because the kingdom's troops have limited stomachs and can't swallow this cake.

If Hudson had been allowed to be the head coach before the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, nothing would have happened to the coalition forces at all.

With a military exploit that could make him the "Marshal of the Human Race", Viscount Oran admired his decisiveness without any hesitation.

"Your Excellency, Viscount, don't worry too much. The situation faced by every family is similar now, and the Hollister family is not at a disadvantage.

What determines the distribution of post-war benefits is essentially no longer on the battlefield, but more about the subsequent political game.

The assassination brought the disputes in the royal capital to the forefront. Those big nobles involved are the targets of His Majesty's next suppression.

In particular, the five major families in the North had grievances with the royal family. Now that the old and new hatreds have been added together, His Majesty will never spare them.

If the Hollister family is willing to give up their current foundation and come to northern Xinjiang, obtain several counties' fiefdoms, and take charge of the power of a province, it is no problem at all.

However, returns and risks are directly proportional. Even without the threat of orcs, all conditions in the northern Xinjiang region are not as good as those in the southeastern provinces.

To develop these lands, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources that need to be invested are astronomical.

To be honest with you, the Koslow family has decided to stay in the Southeast Province. After the war, the most they can do is try to take back the ancestral land from the Locknard family. Even if other areas in northern Xinjiang are given to me, the Koslow family will not be able to develop them! "

Hudson analyzed rationally.

No matter what choice the Holliser family makes, he will support it, but the Koslow family will not go north.

Rather than starting over in the north, he would rather stay in the southeastern province and fight with the Dalton family. It's not that Hudson lacks ambition, it's that his family background is too shallow.

The most core factor is population.

Even if all the branches of the Koslow family were emptied and all the connections that could be used were used, at most they would only be able to gather hundreds of thousands of people.

Such a small population can be settled on the land of a county. Even if you try hard, you will only be able to occupy the land of two or three counties at most.

The cost of moving these people alone would bankrupt Hudson. Instead of rushing forward blindly, he might as well stay in the mountain territory and cling to the swamp behind him.

At least the Mountain Territory is making money. Even after the war, the annual income is not low. With a little effort, you can break even and embark on a positive cycle of developing your territory with its profits.

"Hudson, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your plan to come true. The Koslow family's ancestral land is in the hands of the Locknard family, and they will not hand it over as a last resort.

The five major families in the North are all in the same spirit. Their situations are similar and they will not let this kind of precedent happen.

The Dalton family will also try their best to send you to the North. With their influence among the nobles of the southeastern provinces, most of the nobles in the seven southeastern provinces will support them politically.

Your rise is too fast, beyond the capacity of all parties. After the war, they will definitely find ways to limit your development.

This is because you acted decisively before and made most of the nobles in the kingdom owe a favor. Otherwise, the Koslow family will not face restrictions on development, but suppression from all sides.

Things were not much better for the Hollister family. Although we used to be old aristocrats, there are not many people who are willing to see us return to our old relationship.

Even after countless years of operation, we can only keep most of the great nobles in the kingdom neutral. Politically, it's hard to support you. "

Viscount Oran replied with a wry smile.

If the Koslow family is willing to go to the North, then the Hollister family can also bring together several other middle-level nobles in the kingdom to form a group to open up a business in the North.

Without the powerful thug Hudson, even if they join forces with other families, the Holliser family cannot compete with the five major families in the North.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Viscount. Judging from the current situation, it will take several years at the earliest for the Dalton family to return to its peak military strength.

If other factors are taken into account, this recovery period will be longer. Before that, the most they could do was cause me some political trouble.

At worst, after the war, I will go back and concentrate on running the fiefdom and not participate in the disputes in the court. They don’t dare to provoke a military conflict anyway! "

Hudson said confidently.

The halo of famous generals is used at this time. Just one name can scare many enemies.

He was not completely sure, so he had to be careful when making off-the-chart moves, lest he, a "young and energetic famous general," would be angered and overturn the table and drag the Dalton family with him.

"As long as you have an idea!"

Viscount Oran said with envy.

He has the strength to pull the Dalton family to its death. No matter how bad the situation is, it won't get much worse.

Big families can be passed down through the ages, and they compete for the long term, and rarely do it with impulsiveness. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not easily overturn the table and risk his family's wealth and life.

As the battlefield situation worsened, the five orc royal families also accelerated their retreat. In order to rush for time, they did not even care about the physical condition of the old, weak, women and children.

Many tribes experienced large attrition during the evacuation. Even though the priests worked hard to treat him, they still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.

After chasing and escaping, the battle line was soon drawn to the edge of the orc prairie. At this moment, the five major orc royal families have shrunk to the Nikola Plateau in the north and the Salar Hills in the west.

The internal conflicts that were originally covered up gradually intensified. The barren west and north cannot support so many orcs.

Without many orc races to exploit, not only did the orc nobles lose their former luxurious life, but many small and medium-sized tribes also encountered difficulties in the daily supply of supplies.

Opposition to the evacuation and calls to go out and regain the lost territory are also increasing day by day within the Orc Empire, causing headaches for the five emperors.

What's even worse is the wasted material consumption. We have just experienced a major migration, and many tribes have been divided into raw lands, making it difficult to produce large output in a short period of time.

There are also many organizational loopholes. Many obviously farming tribes were placed on plateaus that were not suitable for agricultural cultivation; some nomadic tribes were also placed in mountainous areas that were not suitable for large-scale grazing.

The officials sent out by the imperial court are either quarreling with the tribes below, or are on the way to quarrel.

Because of the problem of material distribution, many tribes even started fighting. Even if it was forcibly suppressed, the seeds of hatred were planted.

"The situation is not good. Our predictions in advance were insufficient. The land in the western and northern regions is barren and it is difficult to feed too many people. The tribesmen are now complaining and complaining.

If this situation continues, I'm worried that I won't be able to suppress it later! "

The Lion King said with a depressed look.

As the family with the best preserved strength among the five royal families, the Lion Clan has retained the largest core population, but also encountered the greatest troubles.

Even if enough land is allocated, it is now difficult to meet actual demand. In order to ensure the supply of supplies, they have even begun to hunt other orc races.

"Lion King, don't worry too much. This kind of hard life won't last long.

We are under great pressure now, and the pressure on the human coalition is equally great. When you open the map, you will know that it is thousands of miles away from Fengyue Port.

If we include the transportation of materials from the rear, the amount of materials consumed by the human race every day is also an extremely huge number.

An ordinary human soldier fighting on the front line must invest at least five times the manpower to transport supplies in the rear.

According to the intelligence collected, the current main source of military expenditure for the human coalition is still provided by the Kingdom of Alpha.

To maintain the consumption of millions of troops on the front line, the daily expenses are astronomical. I don’t think Alpha Kingdom’s financial resources can sustain it for long.

The human coalition's military subsidy for the army has been increased to 20%. If the war continues, this proportion will continue to rise.

The only people who have a blood feud with us are a few human nations in the North. Most human countries participated in this war only because of racial interests.

In the past, the Alpha Kingdom was responsible for the military expenses. They were just helping out, so there was no big problem. Now it's my turn to dig into my own pocket, and I have more ideas.

Next, we only need to beat the human coalition forces hard and make them realize that we are not easy to bully, and this war will be over.

Of course, we must also grasp the balance. It should not only make the human race feel physically painful, but also not stimulate the glass heart of their continental overlord! "

Alex said pretending to be calm.

Because of the sparse number of people, compared to the other four royal families, the Behemoth family's logistical pressure has become the smallest.

Because the evacuation was completed first, the land occupied was basically good land, and most of the tribesmen were properly resettled.

However, the less material pressure does not mean that Alex has less mental pressure. As Emperor Behemoth, he has not lived a comfortable life for a few days since he succeeded to the throne.

Deep down in his heart, besides scolding his dead father, he was worried about the future fate of the Behemoth clan.

He said it easily, but deep down he knew very well that it was easy to give up the orc prairie, but it was not easy to get it back.

If the human race can organize a coalition once, they can organize a second one. The newly occupied orc prairie is the face of the continent's overlord.

Perhaps the future can be slowly given up, but within a short period of time, the human race must be held in its hands to prove the merits of the contemporary monarchs to the human race.

The overlord's face + the monarch's personal name during and after death. Anyone who dares to touch this taboo will be severely beaten.

"Emperor Behemoth, your thinking is too simple. You want to cause pain to the human coalition forces, but you can't disgrace the human race. How can we continue to fight this battle?

Don't forget the human coalition that currently has the upper hand. Even if we pull the battle line to its current position, we are still at a disadvantage.

If you want to reverse the situation, you can only let them in first, find a way to break them up, and then use the terrain to slowly consume them!

Damn the Holy See of Dawn, they have cut off contact with us since we announced that we were responsible for the assassination case, and the promises they made before may not be able to be fulfilled.

The only thing that can support us is the joint pressure from all ethnic groups on the mainland. It's a pity that the dragon we bribed was unreliable and was discovered by the human race early on. "

Silver Moon Wolf King said angrily.

All allies are unreliable, and the Orc Empire, fighting alone, has reached the point of life and death.

A large number of cannon fodder defected, leaving the five royal families with a tight military strength. The hard work that was originally undertaken by the cannon fodder race can now only be done by our own people.

The orc race, which has always been oppressed, became the vanguard of attacking them, driven by hatred and profit.

"That dragon still has some value. He offered to help contact the Shanghai people if he could pay more.

However, if we want to get the help of the Sea Clan and cut off the human race's maritime transportation lines, we still have to rely on ourselves. "

The Yingren Emperor said solemnly.

It is not difficult to find the Sea Clan, but the question is why should the Sea Clan help them?

The creatures in the sea, except for a few amphibians, are not suitable for survival on land. Even if they could occupy the entire Aslant continent, it would not mean much to them.

In the past, most of the sea clan's invasions of the mainland were based on faith. Nowadays, the gods are no longer sacred. Without the oracle's orders, people will naturally not be full and look for excitement.

Profit incentives?

If you give the entire continent to someone else, they may not be interested. After all, if you can swim well in the water, no fish or shrimp wants to become a salty fish or salty shrimp.

Occasionally there are local conflicts with the mainland races, which are caused by someone provoking the nearby sea tribe and retaliating.
