King

Before the territorial affairs were arranged, Hudson received an invitation from Governor Pierce, and then received an invitation from the king.

When the continental war broke out, the mountain territories needed to take countermeasures, and the provinces and kingdoms were no exception.

The Kingdom, in particular, has been hardest hit. As the most powerful country in the northern continent, the Alpha Kingdom has not only glory, but also responsibility.

Once there is a large-scale invasion by aliens, the kingdom will inevitably send troops to rescue all countries. Of course, the specific rescue intensity depends on moral integrity.

…

"Hudson, is there another war?"

Melissa asked concerned.

I don’t know why, but her political sense has become dull since giving birth to her eldest son.

Reaching out and patting the dust off little Franz's body, Hudson nodded slightly.

"The continental war has broken out, and there will no longer be an inch of pure land in the entire Aslant continent, and no one can survive alone.

However, this time the human race has a huge advantage, and the probability of victory is as high as 90%, so there is no need to worry too much.

Maybe after this war, the aliens will no longer be a threat. Use a war to consolidate the dominance of our human race. No matter how high the price is, it is worth it! "

The general principle is correct, but when the price needs to be borne by oneself, it is a different picture.

They are all fighting for the survival of the race. From their respective standpoints, everyone is the righteous party.

"Then be careful and don't show off when you get to the battlefield. Franz is still waiting for you to come back!"

As she spoke, tears appeared in the corners of Melissa's eyes.

The more you know, the more you know awe.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a dragon knight like Hudson is left to his own devices on the battlefield. He is the only one who kills people, and no one can do anything to him.

But Melissa, who was familiar with history books, knew very well how bloody the battles between various races during the Continental War were, and there were also many dragon knights who fell on the battlefield.

Heroes emerge from troubled times, but more and more people become stepping stones for heroes. Once a general succeeds, thousands of bones wither, and most people fall halfway on their way to becoming heroes.

Reaching out to help Melissa wipe away her tears, Hudson said with a smile: "Don't worry. The war will last for a while, but it won't burn the kingdom yet.

Even if they participate in the war now, they will only send troops symbolically. Unless the situation on the frontline worsens, it won't be my turn to play. "

There's nothing wrong with it. As a flag of the Alpha Kingdom's military, Hudson will not go to the front line unless absolutely necessary.

After all, if others lead troops out to reinforce, if they lose, they lose. The impact on the kingdom is not very big.

If Hudson were defeated, even a small defeat would cause an uproar and affect the morale of the kingdom's military.

…

Emerald Palace.

After looking at the important ministers from all over the kingdom, Caesar IV said slightly tiredly:

"The continental war has broken out in full force, and we don't need to worry about the war situation in the southern and central continents. They started the war on their own initiative, and they should be fully prepared.

The trouble is the Northern Continent!

The foreign races are the most powerful in the Northern Continent. The elves, orcs, and ancient relics, none of them are easy to mess with.

It just so happens that our human race’s strength is the weakest here. Whenever wars broke out on the continent, the kingdom shouldered the main task of fighting against alien races.

The situation is slightly better now. The Seven Prairie Kingdoms separate us from the Orc Empire, creating an additional strategic barrier.

But everyone knows what the specific situation is. The little power of the seven grassland nations cannot stop the orc army.

The situation on the other two fronts is not optimistic either. The elves and the ancient relics also started the war.

So far, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received letters requesting assistance from 11 countries. From the content point of view, everything is urgent. "

While talking, the attendants had already distributed letters asking for help to everyone.

After a while, the faces of all the nobles who roughly understood the situation fell.

Theoretically, the Alpha Kingdom is obliged to send troops to rescue its allies. However, so many letters for help arrived at almost the same time, it was impossible to save him!

“Your Majesty, militarily speaking, the Kingdom does not have the ability to rescue all countries at the same time.

I think it would be better to forward these letters of request for help to the National Alliance Council and seek help from various countries on the mainland.

Of course, as a responsible country, we cannot do nothing.

The Warhammer Kingdom is undergoing an endless civil war, and now the situation is critical, just in time to persuade both sides to cease the war.

Whether they merge again or become independent into two countries, as long as they stop fighting among themselves, it will have very important positive significance for the battlefield of the Northern Continent. "

Hudson suggested to himself.

Except for the fact that the first sentence is true, the rest are just prevarication and have no nutritional value at all.

There was nothing he could do, everyone's eyes were focused on him, forcing him to open his eyes and tell lies.

You can use your weapons like a god, just use them to deceive others, but if you believe it yourself, you're in trouble!

In fact, Hudson is also taking a big gamble. Using the safety of the northern continent as a bargaining chip, we bet that the elves would not invade with all their strength.

As long as this paddling champion can still paddle, the Alpha Kingdom can survive this disaster.

As for mediating the civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom, that's pure nonsense. Except for a few fights at the beginning, most of the time they were just "quarreling and fighting."

We are all smart people. We know that the situation in the mainland is tense, but we are still fighting desperately. Isn't it boring to live?

The struggle between nobles is essentially the art of struggle and compromise. If there had been no external interference, the Warhammer Kingdom would have been unified long ago.

They are making a fuss because someone has given them the confidence to think they have the ability to overwhelm the other party.

At this moment, the continental war breaks out, and the ancient survivors form a group to invade the Warhammer Kingdom. They don't want to stop.

After all, this is a race war of life and death.

Either life or death, there is no third option.

“There is no problem in mediating the civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom.

Since the outbreak of the Continental War, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been in contact with the two major factions within the Warhammer Kingdom, and both sides have a lot of sincerity.

However, judging from the current situation, even if the Warhammer Kingdom stops the civil war, it will be difficult to stop the army of the ancient survivors, let alone support neighboring countries to resist the invasion of the elves. "

Earl Francis said worriedly.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was definitely the most active department in the Alpha Kingdom after the outbreak of the continental war.

Coordinating the two major factions of the Warhammer Kingdom to join forces to fight against the enemy, their presence will naturally be absent in this kind of place to build reputation.

He also has the deepest understanding of the situation. It is very clear that the current Warhammer Kingdom is no longer useful.

"Then find a way to stabilize the elves first!

Unlike other races on the mainland, elves have slow reproduction capabilities and do not have the strength to dominate the continent. They do not pose a great threat to our human race.

In recent years, the conflict between humans and elves has been nothing more than the capture of elven slaves.

The worst we can do is make a promise to ban the trade of elves in the kingdom, and propose a proposal at the Human Alliance Council to make capturing and trading elves a felony.

Given the current situation, the probability that the Alliance Parliament will agree is very high. As a sign of sincerity, the kingdom first released the elf slaves in its hands.

Of course, this is limited to slaves who have just been captured and have not been insulted.

Those elven slaves who have been insulted must be dealt with immediately, and no hidden dangers can be left at this time. "

Hudson said seriously.

In his opinion, prohibiting slave hunting in exchange for the neutrality of the elves was a good deal.

Even if it doesn't work, as long as it can delay the elves' dispatch of troops, it is of very important strategic significance.

"Earl Hudson, you think things are too simple. Those who own elf slaves are the great nobles of various countries.

Even if the Human Alliance Council promulgates laws, it will be difficult to restrain them. Our proposal at this time has no substantive meaning other than offending people! "

Duke Thorsten mocked.

This is a fact. The Human Race Alliance Parliament’s binding force on various countries is either strong or weak.

Whether it can play a role depends entirely on whether it is in everyone's interest. The laws of the alliance are truly binding only when they safeguard the interests of the group.

"Duke Thorsten, it doesn't matter whether it is binding or not. At least our decision can be implemented within the kingdom and be effective in the Northern Continent.

You can't ignore the safety of the kingdom just because you can't bear to part with a few elven slaves.

Regardless of whether these promises can make the elves neutral, at least the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can use this excuse to bring the elves to the negotiating table first.

One more day to talk gives us one more day to prepare. It would be better if it could be delayed for a few years until the situation on the mainland becomes clearer. "

Hudson said calmly.

In fact, he had a lot left to say. This continental war is different from the past, and the enthusiasm of the elves to participate is definitely different.

If you want to stabilize the elves, the price you need to pay will definitely be greater.

There are precedents for similar things in history. The outside world only saw the elves as paddling champions, but did not notice that they had benefited from the previous continental wars.

In order to keep the elves neutral, not only the Kingdom of Alpha had promised him benefits, but also all the countries in the continent had made similar promises.

Secretly, the elves have even signed secret agreements with many human countries.

This is not a waste of paper. With the blessing of magical power, many secret contracts are binding on the signers.

Looking at the performance of various human countries, we know that every time a major international conflict occurs, the measures taken by the elves are mediation.

Compared with the Orc Empire, which is also in the northern continent and is often organized into groups to clear dungeons, the elves are really too happy.

However, these contracts are not without hidden dangers. Once the person in power changes, the original secret contract will lose its binding force.

After all, no matter how strong the binding force of a contract, it can only bind the signer of the contract and cannot expand the scope without limit.

“Earl Hudson said it right, as long as the elves are delayed from sending troops, we should try any opportunity.

Aren't they just a few elven slaves? Compared with the interests of the human race, I believe that most conscientious nobles will make the right choice.

Everyone present, please express your opinion first. Can you give up the elf slaves in your hands? "

the Grand Duke of Newfoundland asked sharply.

The old prime minister, who had been silent for many years, once again showed his decisive side, as if bringing everyone back to the era of Caesar III.

It is impossible to refuse. Having said this, anyone who continues to oppose is an unscrupulous nobleman who has no regard for the overall situation.

Wearing such a hat means you don't have to hang out in aristocratic circles.

No matter how unhappy they were, everyone could only force themselves to smile and pretend to be happy and agree.

After the big strategy was finalized, Hudson instantly became less transparent and remained silent on how to specifically support various countries.

It is enough to do the things that are in the limelight once, there is no need to finish them alone.

These nobles present are all elites of the Alpha Kingdom, and all of them have experienced the hardships of war.

Even if you don't have the talent to lead troops, at least you know how to lead them. When supporting allies, each one is more stable than the other, without any intention of rashness.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to send a legion of reinforcements to each of these eleven countries. As for when to send troops and how to make up the troops, they naturally need to be discussed slowly.

Anyway, the Alpha Kingdom promised to send troops and should fulfill its obligations as an alliance with practical actions. As for the efficiency of implementation, it only needs to catch up with the average speed of mainland countries.

After all, this is an expedition to eleven countries, so we must be fully prepared.

…

At almost the same time, the Principality of Moxi was holding a similar military meeting. The only difference was that there were seven fewer letters for help in George's hand.

Perhaps due to distance considerations, or perhaps because they were worried that the Principality of Moxi would fall into war in the near future, in short, the Seven Prairie Kingdoms did not ask for help from them.

The lack of seven letters asking for help does not mean that the Principality of Moxi is relaxed. Because of geopolitics, the pressure they need to bear is greater than that of the Alpha Kingdom.

Once the Warhammer Kingdom collapses, the war will immediately spread to the Principality of Moxi.

Whether it is the coalition of ancient survivors or the army of elves, they cannot escape as long as they come to kill them.

The only ally is the Alpha Kingdom behind him. As for other countries in the Northern Continent, they were directly ignored by George.

After all, the peaceful days have gone too long. The biggest crisis we usually face is the internal fighting among the nobles.

It's called a war in name, but in fact this kind of frontal Pk that shows off the horses and horses is just a low-level "fight".

In a real war, how can thousands of people fight in a melee with single-digit casualties?

Being accustomed to fighting fake wars every day, these countries have long forgotten how real wars are fought.

Perhaps the few small countries that were attacked by the orcs in the past few years have learned some lessons and paid more attention to their weapons.

But this little effort is still not enough in a real race war.

"Your Majesty, the Warhammer Kingdom lost many cities in the border areas at the beginning of the war, and the current situation is not optimistic.

The situation in the Principality of Cantru, the Principality of Usta, and the Principality of Fike is even worse. The elves have already panicked without even taking action.

Once the elven army invades, they will probably fall in less than half a year.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated with several major powers in the mainland. Except for the Kingdom of Alpha, which has clearly stated that it will provide assistance, the remaining countries have refused on the grounds that they are also fighting.

I’m afraid…”

Before Count Renato could finish his words, the Minister of Military Affairs on the side said:

"Count Renato, you are too optimistic. If the elves really send troops, not to mention that they will not be able to last for half a year, it will be difficult for us to last for half a year.

Judging from the situation of the Principality of Cantru, the Principality of Usta, and the Principality of Fike, if they can hold off the elven army for a month, they can be regarded as making outstanding contributions to the human race.

Once the elves and the ancient relics join forces, it will be a matter of time before the Warhammer Kingdom falls. It is optimistically estimated that they can sustain it for half a year.

It's not because they are capable of fighting, but it takes a lot of time to occupy their vast territory. "

Count Martins' words deeply hurt everyone.

At any other time, this would certainly be an example of low emotional intelligence. But at this time, it is the most rational answer.

As Minister of Military Affairs, he must always remain rational in times of crisis for the principality.

Any unrealistic optimism will lead the Principality of Moxi to a point of no return.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of the current situation?"

George asked calmly.

He had persisted through the years when the orcs were sieging the city and the principality was in danger. How could he be intimidated by what didn't happen?

A true warrior dares to face the bleak reality.

Originally, George performed very mediocrely during his time as crown prince, but since he took the throne, the Principality of Moxi has been in troubled times. The more things I have experienced, the more I have grown.

The current situation is critical, but when will the situation in the Principality of Moxi not be critical?

After cleaning up the mess of the orcs, the debt crisis will follow; after the debt crisis is solved, several central kingdoms are ready to move again.

The outbreak of the mainland war made the above crises no longer a problem. The threats from the elves and ancient relics came again.

Born from sorrow.

Being in crisis every day, over time, George got used to it.

“Your Majesty, let’s wait for Alpha Kingdom’s decision now!

The elves are not prosperous, so even if there is a real invasion, most of them will not come out in full force. At most, they will send out some tribesmen who are dying.

If the Alpha Kingdom is willing to join forces with us, it should be able to prevent them from joining forces with the ancient survivors.

The trouble now is that the orcs have also moved. Once the seven grassland kingdoms are defeated, a large part of the Alpha Kingdom's energy will be restrained by the orcs.

…”

Prime Minister Herceg said anxiously.
