"Earl Hudson, when will the logistics supplies for the army be in place?"

Hudson, who had been in charge of the army's logistics for many days, was questioned for the first time at a coalition meeting about logistics supplies.

"Sorry, Captain Blake!

Logistics issues depend on many factors. I can't give an accurate answer now. I can only tell you that the logistics department has tried its best.

Even the nearest Fengyue Port is more than 1,500 miles away from the front line. It would be fine if they were all in plain areas, but now they have entered the mountains.

The poor natural environment and muddy roads, coupled with the destruction of orcs, are all important factors affecting logistics and transportation.

Especially now that it is raining continuously, it has increased the difficulty of transportation. Once the weather improves, transportation should be faster. "

Hudson replied calmly.

From the moment the terrain changed dramatically, the coalition's logistics began to have problems. Delays in the release of strategic supplies are common.

The original one every half month has now become one every month. Even the application for supplies has gone from door-to-door delivery to now, and now each army has to send its own personnel to the transfer station to collect it.

The war has progressed to this point, and all that the Alpha Kingdom can mobilize has been mobilized.

However, Hudson still lacked manpower. In order to ensure the timely supply of logistics materials, he even proposed to the kingdom to outsource the part to the caravan.

The chambers of commerce currently active in the Orc Empire came with a lot of strategic supplies, but they still could not meet the needs of the front line.

"Earl Hudson, the transportation of supplies is slow, don't you know how to find a way?"

Blake asked again.

Although it was not deliberately targeted, the Holy See still suffered a lot in terms of the distribution of logistical supplies.

The logistics transfer station is always relatively far away from their location. Every time I receive supplies, I have to travel hundreds of miles recently.

There's no argument, it's just luck. Who made the Holy See distrust the Logistics Department and be unwilling to provide the army's offensive route in advance?

Since the Holy See refused to provide it, Hudson could only pretend not to know.

Other troops are usually only a few dozen miles away from the transfer station, and the furthest is no more than two hundred miles. The only exception is the Holy See's army, which is often transported over long distances.

With smooth logistics and material support, this distance is nothing. But now the logistics are gradually unable to keep up with the marching speed of the army, which is a big disadvantage.

Accidents often occur during transportation, and there is no guarantee that all supplies will arrive according to quotas. Some material losses are large, and some materials losses are small, both of which are beyond human control.

The nearby troops took the supplies away first. What is left for the Holy See army depends on what is left in the warehouse.

If you are lucky, you will eat meat; if you are unlucky, you will eat chaff.

Unfortunately, he dug the hole for himself. Blake couldn't help but sent the marching route over without shame, so he could only complain about the poor logistics support.

"Of course there are ways, but the cost is a bit high. Captain Blake, you know that the kingdom is exhausted now that the war is going on.

If the Holy See can provide more support, we will immediately increase the number of mercenaries to ensure the supply of materials on the front line.

In fact, the kingdom is well prepared and the army will not be short of supplies in a short time.

On the orc prairie, we have stockpiled enough supplies for the army to consume for half a year.

The problem now is that it can't be shipped. Even though we are only a few hundred miles away from the Orc Prairie, just for this journey, 35% of the food we transported will be consumed.

This is just the beginning. As the front advances, more and more materials will be consumed halfway.

The logistics force is short of manpower. In the kingdom at the rear, men, women, old and young are already on the battlefield. It is unable to provide more civilians for the front line. Now I can only leave it to you! "

While speaking, Hudson cautiously bowed to everyone.

Deep down, Hudson was conflicted. He not only wanted to deal with the orc threat once and for all, but also wanted to end this war with no end in sight as soon as possible.

It persisted until now and put the dilemma on the table because the kingdom did not want to let go of this opportunity to severely damage or even destroy the Orc Empire.

The best choice now is to completely drag the Human Alliance into the water. Use the power of the entire human race to wipe the orcs from the continent.

It's a pity that Hudson's deception skills were not strong enough and he failed to fool all the old foxes. The main reason is that the rest of the Orc Empire is just crappy land, which is really unattractive.

Even the relatively fertile orc prairie was unsaleable when put up for auction, let alone these rotten lands.

Ever since they occupied the Orc Grassland and entered the northwest region, the coalition's desire to fight has declined sharply.

Different from the wealth of the prairie, the orc tribes in the northwest region are poorer than the other.

Due to insufficient resources, local tribes will automatically split up when they develop to a certain extent. Most of them exist in the form of small tribes, and there are very few tribes with more than 3,000 people.

The enemy is so poor that there is no hope of loot or anything else. If you want to make a fortune now, you can only go head-to-head with the main orcs of the five royal families.

On the prairie, the human coalition forces chased the orcs with ease. But the situation changed when we entered the mountainous area.

With the natural cover provided by nature, aerial reconnaissance is no longer omnipotent, and the orcs also have the ability to fight back.

Not much loot was obtained. On local battlefields, the human coalition was ambushed several times by the orcs taking advantage of the terrain, and suffered a lot of losses.

Now that the war has reached this point, the Human Alliance can definitely declare a complete victory to the outside world. Anyway, the benefits are gone, and the human race's face has been restored.

The current battle, to put it nicely, means that everyone is using their troops cautiously; to put it worse, it means that everyone is fishing for fish.

If it weren't for the fact that we still had a large number of orc cannon fodder troops in our hands that had not yet been consumed, someone would have probably proposed to withdraw the troops.

There is no other way. In order to attract the orc Hanhan to join the group, everyone made too many promises.

In addition to Hudson's proposal to support the orc races to establish their own independent countries, several additional tricks were added during the actual operation.

If they cannot fulfill their promises and cannot blatantly break their promises, then they will have no choice but to die.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

Regarding everyone's unscrupulous behavior, Hudson decisively chose not to see it and let everyone do whatever they wanted.

“Everyone has seen the contributions of everyone from the Alpha Kingdom. Being able to send so much supplies to the front line has indeed reached its limit.

I think Earl Hudson's proposal can be considered. Either everyone sends more manpower, or they spend money to hire more mercenaries.

Most of the current orc tribes are entrenched in the mountains and forests, and are often not suitable for army operations. On the contrary, they are more suitable for mercenaries.

Not only in terms of logistics, more mercenaries can be used; on the battlefield, we can also introduce mercenaries to participate. "

Marquis Sunil said with a smile.

In this war, although the orcs took the initiative to invade, it was Charles III who promoted a comprehensive counterattack among the alliance.

As a politically qualified commander, Marquis Sunil knew very well that this was the first war launched by his boss since he took office, and he had to win beautifully.

Judging from the results, we can now choose to end it. But from a process perspective, it is far from meeting the psychological expectations of my boss.

Fighting all the way, the coalition forces seemed to be sweeping the country, but in fact they didn't even win a significant victory.

What everyone can do naturally cannot highlight the power of the first kingdom in the mainland. However, he wanted to win a big victory, but the enemy was unwilling to cooperate, and Marquis Sunil was helpless.

You can't show off the kingdom's military power, but you can make do by showing off the commanding abilities of the kingdom's generals. After finally grabbing this job from a crowd of competitors, he couldn't let it go in vain.

"Marquis Sunil's proposal is very pertinent. When fighting in the jungle, mercenaries are the professionals.

Especially those mercenary groups that have been active in the Warcraft Mountains, Elf Forest... and other areas for a long time are the best among them.

In this war, mercenaries also made significant contributions. I think the alliance can definitely raise a fund to put a bounty on the heads of the orc royal family.

For mercenaries who have made significant contributions, we can also consider appropriately awarding them with knighthoods and commendations! "

Hudson immediately echoed.

No matter what the method is, as long as it can severely damage the Orc Empire, he will support it.

Marquis Sunil could propose letting mercenaries participate in the war, and Hudson would naturally make the proposal a reality. Anyway, the Alpha Kingdom has no money now, so the money can only be provided by the Human Alliance.

It would be easier to be rewarded with a title. The land under your feet is a ready-made fiefdom, enough to accommodate countless emerging nobles.

"Earl Hudson, that's easy to say! Using a large number of mercenary groups will increase military expenditures by a huge amount.

What's more, the mercenaries are all good and bad, and they can just do odd jobs. It's simply a joke to expect them to be the main force in combat.

The alliance's money is not blown away by strong winds. We can't squander it so wantonly! "

As soon as Captain Blake finished speaking, he felt a murderous aura coming from behind him.

After reacting, he secretly cursed himself for being stupid and was so busy rebutting Hudson that he actually forgot that there were people from the mercenary guild here.

It's a pity that the words have been spoken and it is too late to take them back. As a representative of the Holy See, even if he said something wrong, he was not allowed to apologize on such an occasion.

A mere mercenary guild, its comprehensive strength can only be ranked in the middle among the many major forces in the human race, and it is not worthy of bowing its head.

"The proposal of Marquis Sunil and Earl Hudson is very good. In the next war, we can fully utilize the role of mercenaries to a greater extent.

There is no need to worry about financial issues. It is a matter of great justice for the human race. I believe that the mercenary groups from all over the mainland will not be so immoral that they want to take advantage of the situation at this time.

As long as everyone agrees, our mercenary guild can publish it to the outside world for free without any commission. "

Adolf said seriously.

It was about the reputation of the entire mercenary world, and he, the representative, had to step forward. Unfortunately, the power of the Holy See was too strong. He did not dare to offend the Holy See too deeply, and his counterattack was seriously insufficient.

"Captain Blake, you are too picky. There are indeed many scum among the mercenaries, but after all, they are only a very small part. Most of the mercenary groups still deserve recognition.

For example, Captain Adolf, when our human race was in crisis, immediately brought his team to support, which is enough to prove their enthusiasm.

I think we should discuss it as soon as possible and come up with a concrete implementation plan and submit it to the Human Race Council for approval. "

Hudson retorted unceremoniously.

Having fallen out with the Holy See a long time ago, Hudson would naturally not show mercy if he had the chance to damage their reputation.

With this fire, the feud between the Holy See and the Mercenary Guild was completely closed.

Maybe you won't fall out openly, but secretly you will inevitably hold grudges. Maybe at some point, the Holy See will suffer a big loss.

…

"Dear Lord Maxim, this is the reward we have prepared. I wonder when we can contact the Sea Tribe?"

The old Eagle Man asked expectantly.

Asking for help from the Sea Clan, no one knows if it will work, but you have to give it a try.

After retreating all the way, the human coalition forces were still hot in pursuit. Looking at that posture, he was not prepared.

The news coming from the Holy See is that as long as the human race is allowed to win a great battle and satisfy the purpose of the major human forces to show off their force, the coalition forces will return home.

But the five emperors simply did not believe this unreliable information. The human race has always been cunning. What if they spend a lot of money to cooperate with them in a fight, but in the end they turn against them and refuse to recognize them?

Similar things have never happened in history. Rather than leaving your destiny in the hands of others, it is better to control it yourself.

"Don't worry, Xiaoying. This dragon is doing something, so there's nothing to worry about. It's just contacting the Sea Clan, what a big deal!

You guys wait here, I'll pack your things and take you over to meet the people from the Sea Tribe. "

As he spoke, the dragon flicked its tail and rolled up all the treasures in the cave into the huge mouth.

The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the treasure cannot be lost. Every gold coin in the dragon's hand is their life.

It doesn't matter where it is placed. Only by swallowing the space in the belly can the dragon feel at ease.

"Let's go!"

As soon as they reached the cave, Maxim felt dissatisfied that the old eagle man's flying speed was too slow, so he picked him up with his talons and galloped away.

Free rides are hard to come by. The lightning speed caused the old Yingman to faint in the air. Obviously, flying races cannot afford such super speed.

Flying all the way to the sea, looking at the rough waves, Maxim suddenly stopped: "Oops! It seems that they were robbed too hard last time. These fishmen didn't wait for the great Lord Maxim to come over. Just move and leave!”

After hearing Maxim's words, the old Hawkeye who had just woken up fainted again.

There was a faint dragon in front of him, but now he was simply stunned by anger. I thought he was so wise that he would believe the lies about a red dragon.

I heard Maxim bragging that he has friendship with the Sea Clan and can draw connections from them. I didn't think that the so-called friendship meant that I had robbed the other person.
