King

As time went by, the influence of the Augustsburg victory continued to spread to the Aslant continent.

Many people’s first reaction after receiving the news is:

"impossible!"

"This is impossible!"

It would have been magical to defeat 300,000 enemy troops in one night. With the subsequent results, the victory of Fort Augustus killed and captured more than 200,000 enemy troops, which is really unbelievable.

It was as if the coalition of ancient survivors were weak chickens who could be slapped to death casually.

However, in the previous battles, the coalition forces of the ancient survivors slaughtered all parties, and their strength was obvious to everyone.

Especially the generals of the major forces are busy at the moment. Mainland China has added another classic case, which must be studied in depth to prevent similar tragedies from happening to itself.

Most of the human forces are doing fine, and the situation in the northern continent has improved, which is also a good thing for everyone.

But everything is unexpected, and Pius VII is very unhappy now. Without the confidence to go to the Sea of ​​Mist to look for ghost ships, the blame for the destruction of the Holy See fleet naturally fell on the Alpha Kingdom.

I originally thought that facing the threat of the three major alien races, this thorn in the flesh would soon be severely damaged and even disappear in the long river of history.

Pius VII considered himself a magnanimous person and would not care about past grudges with the dead, so he simply ignored the Alpha Kingdom.

As soon as the news of the victory at Augustburg came out, the situation changed instantly. The Alliance of Ancient Relics lives in a world of ice and snow with scarce resources, which is destined to have a limited number of their tribesmen.

The one-time loss of 200,000 troops exceeded the total population of some races. Including the losses in the previous series of battles, the Ancient Survivors Alliance has lost at least 300,000 troops since the outbreak of the war.

This number would feel painful to any big power.

Two or three more times, or even one more time, the Ancient Relic Alliance may be forced to give up its strategic plan to invade the Principality of Moxi because it cannot afford the casualties.

The essence of their war is to seize living space for their tribesmen. If the tribesmen are gone, what's the use of holding the land.

"waste!"

"They are all a bunch of trash. They can attack every city without a sneak attack. No wonder they can only survive in that corner of the ice and snow world!

I think it’s better to change the name of the Ancient Relics Alliance to the Ancient Waste Alliance. They have been passed down to this day and are polluting the eyes.

The elves are also a bunch of idiots. They can't even figure out who their allies are. They just watch the fire from afar. No wonder they can only huddle in a corner.

There are also those ignorant orcs who spend all day entangled with all the countries on the prairie, forgetting who their real enemies are.

No one is worried about it, I really don’t know how they passed it down from ancient times..."

With a roar, Pius VII greeted the three major alien races in the Northern Continent without even caring about their image.

“Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, I’m afraid it’s not these foreign wastes, but that they didn’t expect Hudson to be so powerful.

If you don't take action, that's all. This action is aimed at breaking the backbone of the ancient alliance of survivors.

The multi-racial alliance is inherently unstable, and its ability to withstand losses is far lower than that of a normal major force.

If the elves cannot quickly destroy the three principalities and provide them with more support, the Ancient Relics Alliance is likely to become the first alien race to be eliminated in the continental war! "

Blake said with lingering fear.

As the leader of the Judgment Knights, his position is not based solely on personal connections. He still has some military qualities. He can see the flaws in the ancient alliance army at a glance.

Recalling the series of humiliating losses he suffered during his dealings with Hudson, he still has trouble letting go.

Seeing Hudson, his enemy, killing everyone, he felt both uncomfortable and relieved.

Everything in his words revealed that it was not that Mr. Blake was trash, but that his enemies were too powerful.

Compared with the alien race who suffered heavy losses, he only lost part of his voice in the conflict with Hudson on the prairie battlefield, which was already considered very good.

Having lived with his tail between his legs for several years, now that he has a foreign background, Blake naturally wants to clear his name.

"Hudson is indeed a threat. It's just that he is guarded by a giant dragon and an earth bear. It will be difficult to get rid of him.

Judging from the reaction of the alien race, if Hudson shows up like this, the elves will probably take action. In the eyes of those arrogant elves, such a character should not appear in the Northern Continent.

In recent years, our influence in the Northern Continent has been almost wiped out. If you want to interfere in the affairs there, it's beyond your reach.

However, the necessary preparations still need to be made.

If the Alpha Kingdom is destroyed in the continental war, then everything will be over; if they are still strong, we cannot let them go.

It is far easier to defeat a kingdom from within than to attack it from the front. If the leader is weak and the minister is strong, this is the way to cause disaster.

Since Hudson is so top-notch, let's help him promote it.

The number one God of War in the mainland, the strongest man in the mainland, the number one in the mainland...

Just watch it, and give me all the hats I can put on his head.

Remember, this time we will only promote his advantages, and we must do it in a subtle way, so that the outside world cannot find out that we are the driving force behind the scenes. "

Pius VII said with a sneer.

They are all bosses, and he is very aware of the complex psychology of those in power. Usually the situation is: you want your subordinates to be capable, but you are also afraid that your subordinates will be too capable.

It won't happen if the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, but it will definitely happen if the bird dies and the bow hides. The more powerful the propaganda, the more violent the backlash will be in the future.

Once the two sides conflict, no matter who wins or loses, the national power of the Alpha Kingdom will be weakened.

It would be even more perfect if a civil war breaks out directly like in the Warhammer Kingdom and the country is forced to split into two parts.

In order to achieve his goal, Pius VII was not even prepared to take the title of "the most powerful person in the mainland".

Fame is tiring.

The title of being the strongest person in the continent not only brings fame, but also brings trouble.

For example: whenever a big devil appears that cannot be dealt with, it will be the turn of the strongest one.

The status is there, and many times you can't shirk it.

If it were really powerful enough to dominate the mainland, then that would be it. But Shelter Seventh feels guilty. He, the strongest man in the continent, is too wet.

Without two inherited artifacts, he is just a human shield with thick blood, and his real combat power is far inferior to that of several dragon knights.

It would be embarrassing if a strong Tie Hanhan appeared one day and challenged him, the strongest man in the pseudo-continent.

“Your Majesty, you are wise!

Without spending a single soldier, just giving up some false reputation, it laid the hidden danger of internal strife for the Alpha Kingdom, Zhenno..."

Listening to the compliments of his subordinates, Pius VII couldn't help but smile. When it comes to playing with people's hearts, he's an expert.

…

In Augustburg, the bloody scenes have been washed away. Only the collapsed city walls and the scars all over the place told the cruelty of the war.

The defenders who survived the disaster became fierce after experiencing the test of life and death. No matter where you stop, the surrounding temperature will drop.

After expanding the results, the expeditionary force was withdrawn by Hudson to rest.

A good hunter never lacks patience. They will only shoot the crucial arrow at the critical moment.

"Marshal, something bad is going on!"

"Last night, the elves invaded the capital of the Duke of Canterlot, and all the senior officials of the principality, including the king, were unfortunately killed.

The Principality of Usta and the Principality of Fike issued a strong warning that if no reinforcements appear again, they will surrender to the elves! "

Raquel said in a panic.

The current situation is very obvious. The destruction of the Principality of Cantru has frightened the top leaders of the Principality of Usta and the Principality of Fike.

At the critical moment of life and death, the top leaders of the two countries, unable to see any hope, did not hesitate to threaten surrender.

Once the barriers of the three principalities disappear, the elven army can join forces with the coalition of ancient survivors at any time. When two alien races join forces, no one can stand it!

After hearing the news, Hudson also hesitated. After finally gaining some strategic initiative on the battlefield, are you going to give it up like this?

Vaguely, he realized that this was his fault. So far in the war, large-scale acceptance of prisoners has only occurred at the Battle of Augustburg.

The Principality of Usta and the Principality of Fike dared to threaten to surrender. It was obviously the elves who sent them a surrender signal and made certain promises.

If the other side doesn't take prisoners, then it's a fool to surrender, and we will definitely have to fight to the death!

"Raquel, immediately send someone to inform the royal capital and ask them to strengthen intelligence collection on the elven army, especially to determine whether they are currently carrying out large-scale genocide!"

Keep a line in everything so that we can meet again in the future. If the elves really change the way they play in the continental hegemony, the countries in the northern continent may not even have room to struggle.

To fight to the end is to be forced to do nothing, but how many people are willing to die if there is a glimmer of hope?

Perhaps some nobles may choose to fight to the end for glory. But more people will still shrink back in the face of life and death.

Intuition told Hudson that the probability of this happening was very high.

The elves are not a race that likes killing. If they were allowed to continue killing, many elves would probably have their mentality collapsed.

Knowing this, Hudson was no longer prepared to remain silent. If you don’t have a fighter plane, create one yourself.

The coalition forces of the ancient survivors are gathering together. If they take the initiative to attack, it is still possible to kill the armies of several tribes.

"Cross the Warhammer Kingdom and attack directly into the lairs of the various races in the ice and snow world, forcing them to return for reinforcements."

The idea was dismissed by Hudson as soon as it came up. In this season of ice and snow world, it has started to snow in many areas.

Practitioners are indeed more resistant to freezing, but without logistical supplies, it is also risky to break into someone else's lair directly.

There is no such precedent in the Aslant continent, but there are so many negative teaching materials in the past life, and Hudson knows how terrible the power of winter is.

"Marshal, there is no need to investigate specifically. The elven army did not massacre. They would only kill all the young and strong, and then expel the old, weak, women and children in the controlled area.

A large part of the refugees who poured into the principality were driven here by them.

For this matter, the principality also held a special meeting to analyze, and finally concluded: This is to weaken our war potential.

Taking the principality as an example, to ensure the basic needs of refugees within its territory, at least thousands of tons of food and materials must be paid every day.

This is because a large number of refugees died on the road, otherwise the consumption would be even greater.

The principality simply cannot afford the huge consumption of materials. The topic of whether to rescue refugees has been debated by high-level officials.

It wasn't until you stepped in and promised to open restrictions to accept refugees that the situation improved slightly.

Now that the Principality of Canterlot has been destroyed, the number of refugees will skyrocket, and it will be difficult next time. "

Raquel's explanation brought Hudson back to reality, and he gasped immediately.

What the elves did was a little better than massacre, but in fact the hidden purpose was even more sinister.

Not to mention those who died on the road, they were all refugees composed of old, weak, women and children. In the war years when supplies were scarce, they were a heavy burden.

Accepting refugees consumes a lot of materials; leaving them alone will endanger the local area. Once a person's stomach is extremely hungry, any moral bottom line will cease to exist.

At this moment, Hudson understood why the Mossi people agreed immediately when he asked for refugees.

In war years, the most valuable thing is human life. Fortunately, the definition of "old" in the Aslant continent is different, otherwise there would probably be no men among the refugee team.

The population ratio is so sick that even Hudson doesn’t know what to do next. Perhaps the "European romance" in the previous life was caused by the sequelae of the war.

"In that case, there is no need to waste time. Raquel, arrange for someone to prepare dry food and fodder immediately.

The dry food is mainly dried meat and cheese. Each person should prepare half a pound of salt and, if possible, some sugar.

The fodder must be of the best quality..."

Hudson immediately ordered.

Since it was a long-distance attack, the expeditionary force naturally did not carry much supplies. Now that we have arrived in the Principality of Moxi, we naturally have to rely on the Moxi people to provide logistical supplies.

Elite troops must be treated like elites. In the Aslant continent with backward productivity, logistical supplies are also monotonous.

Especially "sugar" has become a luxury product.

Affected by the backward production technology, the production of sugar in the Aslant continent is extremely limited, the price is more expensive than gold, and it is usually reserved for nobles.

It was Hudson who first proposed allowing sugar to enter the army and serve as a strategic material.

But the kingdom's sugar production is too low. The Mountain Territory's annual output of 3,000 pounds accounts for one-tenth of the Alpha Kingdom's.

It’s not that Hudson didn’t work hard, it was actually that the sugar-making process was not up to par. The total output is stuck. Even if we take food from the nobles, it will not be enough for the soldiers.

"Marshal, other materials are easy to talk about. Even if you piece together things, you can get them, but sugar...

If you report it to the capital, we may be able to get you a hundred and eighty pounds. The frontline military is really..."
