King

At the Emerald Palace, as new letters for help arrived, Caesar IV's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Compared with the previous requests for money, food, equipment, and reinforcements, this wave of requests for help is much more pragmatic.

He finally knew that he needed to improve his military strength. He had never taken a fancy to the military strength of the countries in the Northern Continent.

To put it bluntly, the Alpha Kingdom family can beat all the countries in the Northern Continent except themselves. But in terms of human, financial, and material resources, these countries together are more than twice the size of the Alpha Kingdom.

Theoretically, if all these countries are mobilized, the fighting power of the two Alpha Kingdoms can be unleashed.

Unfortunately this is only in theory.

A country that has been born for war for a long time and a group of countries that are used to living in peace cannot be on the same level militarily.

If the Northern Continent can mobilize the combat power of the three Alpha Kingdoms, even if it is not an opponent of the three major foreign races, the defensive side can still protect itself.

"Countries in the Northern Continent have made requests to us, hoping that the Kingdom can send military personnel to help them train their troops. Do you think this is possible?"

Caesar IV asked in a reserved manner.

Opportunities to intervene in the internal affairs of various countries, especially the military, are rare. If the alien races had not brought too much pressure to the countries, they would never have done this.

"Your Majesty, it is the general trend to send people to support various countries and unite all the human forces in the northern continent to jointly resist the invasion of aliens.

Since everyone has extended the invitation, we must not only send people to help, but we must also do this favor beautifully.

This matter is not only related to the safety of the Northern Continent, but also related to the rise and fall of the entire human race. It will definitely have a profound impact on the future international situation! "

Prime Minister Newfoundland said righteously.

The opportunity to cultivate the pro-Alfa faction in an honest and open manner has been presented to the door. How can we turn it away?

Not to mention helping people train the army, even the last time they sent troops to rescue the Principality of Moxi, the Alpha Kingdom gained a stable ally.

The aristocratic world is as much about interests as it is about favors. It is common for decisions to be made based on personal emotional inclinations.

If the plan proceeds smoothly, a grand alliance with the Alpha Kingdom as the core will be formed in the Northern Continent after the war.

At that point, no matter how the situation on the continent changes, the Alpha Kingdom will remain invincible.

Not to mention the threat from the Hessian Kingdom, even if the three central kingdoms advance north together, they can be stopped.

"If we send people to help them train their troops, how much can the combat effectiveness of various countries be improved? Is it possible to block the front of foreign troops?"

Caesar IV asked with concern.

The prospects are bright, but the reality is tortuous. If there is a chance to integrate the power of the Northern Continent, we must first overcome the current hurdle.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Military Affairs made an assessment earlier. The combined military strength of the countries in the Northern Continent is about 80% of the kingdom's.

Theoretically, once the mobilization mechanism reform and military training are completed, their military strength can at least be doubled, but the reality is far from that optimistic.

Countries have indeed extended invitations, but there are still many difficulties in implementing them.

Those countries that are currently under threat from alien races may be able to fully cooperate, but more countries may not have such strong determination.

Even if the central governments of various countries are willing to cooperate, local noble lords may not be willing to buy it.

If our military mobilization system is copied in its entirety, their interests will suffer the most. These people would not be willing to cut off their flesh until it was a matter of life and death.

Including the kingdom, it was only after many heavy losses that everyone united to achieve today's situation.

If the aliens attack with all their strength, many countries may be deep in the flames of war before they can fully mobilize.

Our people can only help nobles who are willing to cooperate to complete military mobilization training. The overall increase in military strength of various countries may not be so optimistic! "

Grand Duke Efiero explained awkwardly.

When it comes to the kingdom's strategic decisions, he really doesn't dare to overestimate the countries in the Northern Continent. After all, the performance of these countries had already disappointed everyone during the last orc invasion.

You can't expect these guys' integrity to rise from the ground to the sky just because the enemy changes.

Even if the nobles have foresight, they also have selfish motives! If we really want to increase our strength, the first thing everyone will think of is themselves.

Perhaps many nobles will actively participate in military training, but when it comes time to send troops to fight, all kinds of excuses will ensue.

What is rare now is not military training, but reform of the mobilization mechanism. There is no way we can complete the reform without suffering a life-and-death crisis and without purging die-hard elements.

Back then, when the Alpha Kingdom's mobilization mechanism was established, there was no shortage of bloodshed. It’s just that time passed too long and it was gradually forgotten by people.

"It counts as much as it can increase. At times like this, every bit of military power is precious.

However, various countries have a lot of demand for military officers. Will the impact on the standing army be too great if so many people are sent out at once? "

When saying this, Caesar IV was obviously relieved. If countries could really complete the reform of their military mobilization mechanisms at once, he would be hesitant to help.

The military system of the Alpha Kingdom is essentially military-centered. If all the countries in the Northern Continent behave like this, even a small country can become a hedgehog.

Take the County of Kolubia, which was annexed by the Hessians, as an example. It can only be regarded as an ordinary province in the Kingdom of Alpha, but once fully mobilized, it can also draw more than ten or two hundred thousand troops.

Regardless of combat effectiveness, as long as it can organize people, it will be a big shock.

Based on the calculation of 20% of the elite troops, this kind of troop configuration, as a defensive side, is enough to prevent the Hessian Kingdom from taking any rash action.

It's not a question of whether it can be defeated, but that even if you occupy the place, the gains outweigh the losses. The second thing is to consume a lot of military strength. The key is that it is difficult to establish rule after the war.

The human race's civil war cannot involve genocide. If there is too much blood on your hands, there will be many hidden dangers in future governance.

There is no doubt that the Count of Kolubia not only does not have such mobilization capabilities, but the nobles also do not have tens of thousands of elite private troops in their hands, so they can only lie down when danger comes.

This is enough for a small country to mobilize to the extreme, let alone countries with larger populations and larger territories.

Fortunately, not many countries in the Northern Continent can learn the essence. Otherwise, by creating so many hedgehogs, they would be looking for excitement for themselves.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Ministry of Military Affairs has already made plans for the issue of sending officers abroad. In addition to transferring some officers from the standing army, the remaining shortfalls will be allocated to the provinces.

Except for the seven newly recovered provinces in the North, other kingdom provinces can help a country one province at a time. "

Grand Duke Efiero said proudly.

It had only been a few years since the orcs invaded, and it was the time when the Alpha Kingdom had the most military talent.

Generally speaking, children of nobles can become good junior officers as long as they stay on the battlefield for one or two years.

It would definitely be enough to send them out to help allies train their troops. After all, the Alpha Kingdom now only needs to help various countries train a large number of cannon fodder troops, rather than cultivating elites for them.

If the military ability is too powerful, it cannot be sent out. If you are poached by others, it will be a blood loss.

For details, please refer to the poaching operation of the Principality of Moxi that year. They just left some small and medium-sized nobles, and at first no one thought there was any problem.

But looking back now, you will find that it was this group of humble nobles who changed jobs and had a profound impact on the military development of the Principality of Moxi.

After the Continental War broke out, the Principality of Moxi, which followed and learned from behind, became the first country in the Northern Continent to copy the Alpha system.

Of course, the biggest contributors behind this are the orcs.

Had it not been for the crazy slaughter of the orc army, which awakened the Moxi nobles' sense of crisis at the cost of millions of lives, the restructuring would never have been so smooth.

"Well! Now that the Ministry of Military Affairs has a response plan, let's implement it according to your plan.

The integration of the kingdom's military forces was also urgent. Someone was sent to urge Earl Hudson to come to the royal capital to perform his duties as soon as possible. "

Caesar IV said with a frown.

Frankly, he didn't like Hudson. Moxi's tragic experience on the battlefield was one reason, and the other was that as a peer, he always had to be compared.

At a young and vigorous age, few people are willing to admit that they are inferior to others, and Caesar IV, who was born on the ceiling, is no exception.

As a king, there are times when you are powerless. The war on the mainland was too involved, and any carelessness could lead to the destruction of the country, so he was not allowed to be willful.

From the princes and ministers in the court to the local fiefdom nobles, they all hope that Hudson, who is reliable in ability and character, can take charge of the overall situation at this time.

With the lessons learned from Joseph II and the previous overturning incident on the battlefield of Mossi, Caesar IV really did not dare to mess around.

Reason told him that if he insisted on taking charge of the military affairs of the kingdom himself, maybe the Alpha Kingdom would also change its king.

It's hard not to be convinced. He really doesn't have much confidence in the military. Not to mention the local feudal nobles, even the military affairs department of the royal capital did not want to see him gesticulating.

Even if he wants to lose his temper, the princes and nobles in the court will do ideological work for him. Many times, Caesar IV wanted to replace the Minister of War.

Unfortunately, it is easy to substitute, but difficult to find a suitable substitute. Grand Duke Efiero is a member of the royal family, a legitimate royalist, so he cannot be replaced by someone from another faction, right?

When it comes to whether his royal power is stable, Caesar IV is still very clear-headed. I know I can't destroy my foundation just for the sake of temporary pleasure.

When looking for a replacement within the royal family, just think about it. If there really was such a great talent, Caesar III would have discovered it long ago, and it would not have been his turn to make the gold.

After all, there are not many members of the Alpha royal family. All the adult males together only number a few dozen.

Those who are capable have been reused long ago; those who are incompetent cannot be reused even if they want to.

In essence, Caesar IV was not a strong monarch. A large part of the reason why the royal power was able to be preserved was due to the government team left by Caesar III.

Members of the royal family occupy a core position and cooperate with the monarch in governing, thus ensuring a smooth transition of power.

Without this team, even if he hadn't been sidelined, his life would never have been as easy as it is now.

…

In the Mountain Territory, Hudson, who didn't know he was being considered, was busy patrolling the territory at the moment.

The Colosseum was just a sideshow, and the newly released Warcraft Legion was the focus of his attention.

There are 273 Warcraft Knights in the territory, but only 160 are incorporated into the Warcraft Legion. The rest hold important positions in various departments. There is still a huge gap between the full complement of 300 people.

What's even more embarrassing is that among the one hundred and sixty Warcraft Knights, there are more than 90 Knights of Warcraft who are in their infancy at the moment.

If you want to truly develop combat effectiveness, you must first wait until the Warcraft reaches adulthood! It is estimated that there is still one year left, so it is not that we cannot speed up the process, but the main reason is that we are worried about attracting attention from the outside world.

With so many magical beasts ripened in advance, it is impossible to keep them secret. Once the ripening speed exceeds everyone's cognitive acceptance range, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

Hudson didn't want to be a pharmacist who led the progress of the times, even if he could make money. It’s only a matter of time before a scumbag pretends to be a top student.

Looking at the neatly arranged team, Hudson nodded with satisfaction. Let's do this now. It won't be too late to complete the final transformation on the battlefield.

It is a pity that the Warcraft Legion was not able to unify the mounts. From a distance, they did not look so majestic.

These are all small problems. Just have fun gathering so many Warcraft knights. Why are you picky?

Those big countries were able to gather together unified Warcraft mounts because they had slowly accumulated wealth over decades, or even hundreds of years.

Looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, the half-finished Warcraft Legion in Hudson's hands can rank in the top five.

If they are fully staffed, they will be among the top three in the kingdom, and may even be able to surpass the Warcraft Legion in the hands of the royal family.

The only thing that can suppress it stably is the army of Warcraft built with the power of the kingdom. Unfortunately, due to internal struggles, the size of the establishment has been significantly reduced.

There are currently only more than 800 Warcraft Knights. Like Hudson's Warcraft Legion, most of the Warcraft are also in their infancy.

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of a three-hundred-man Warcraft Legion was more effective on the battlefield than an infantry legion of ten thousand people.

With high mobility and high attack power, they are almost invincible in the field. No matter how elite the human infantry is, they cannot stop the Warcraft Legion from charging head-on.

On the grassland battlefield, Hudson witnessed the charging of the Warcraft Legion with his own eyes. A thousand-man dragon army defeated a bear heavy infantry army directly from the front.

No matter how thick the armor is, it cannot withstand a kick from a monster. The gap between ordinary armies and extraordinary armies is really too big.

"Adrian Knight, how do you train every day?"

Hudson asked concerned.

Different from ordinary cavalry training, the Warcraft Legion's training was also dark-eyed. In addition to emphasizing discipline and cooperation, the rest can only be left to everyone to explore on their own.

"Lord Earl, in addition to daily queue training, we are now studying the cooperative operations between the Warcraft Knight squads.

For example: When different Warcraft are formed together, they can exert different combat effectiveness.

After many attempts, we regrouped the Knights based on the coordination between the Warcraft.

The focus of the next training step will be a joint charge, with long-range magic beasts cooperating to carry out magical strikes on the enemy.

The magic crossbow cooperates..."

A series of specific tactics came out of Adrian's mouth, and Hudson could only nod his head.

It's not yet clear what the actual combat effectiveness is. At least in theory, these trainings are feasible.

“Many Warcraft cubs are not yet adults, so being able to train them to this point is pretty good.

I will continue to work hard. In the end, it is not me who is responsible for testing the results, but the cruel racial battlefield!

The current training is just to enhance your ability to survive on the battlefield. If you sweat more during normal times, you will bleed less on the battlefield.

This continental war is just a trial in your life. Only after taking this step can you have a better future.

The Kingdom of Alpha is a martial art, and titles and wealth must be obtained on horseback. You have now gone one step further and started directly from Warcraft Knight.

…”

Hudson struggled to draw a path.

In order to make everyone believe that there is a future in working with Mr. Hudson, he can only use the trick of deception.

Fortunately, most of these are young knights, who are in the age of youth and passion, and are relatively easy to fool.

Coupled with the call for racial justice, the atmosphere at the scene was directly filled with Hudson's half-truths and half-falsities.
