King

The issuance of the non-aggression treaty not only relieved the Alpha Kingdom from its worries, but also released the chains that bound the hands and feet of the elves.

The army of elves, who were not worried about being taken back, blew the horn of the southern expedition. Countries along the way immediately faced the test of life and death.

Relief letters were sent out one after another, but the result they received was: spiritual encouragement from various countries.

There is no use regretting it. In the previous wars, they responded to the frontline countries in this way.

Except for individual countries sending symbolic reinforcements, the rest only provide moral encouragement to neighboring countries.

Things are turning, and now it's their turn to enjoy the spiritual support method. Everyone can't stand it all of a sudden!

The Human Alliance Parliament held one meeting after another, but there was still no result from the discussion on the issue of reinforcements.

The reasons given by various countries are more sufficient than the last.

Holy See: We are helping the Kingdom of Ruthenia resist the dwarf invasion. We expect to reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield within this year and will definitely send reinforcements in the coming year.

Frankish Kingdom: We are in the process of clearing out the Orc tribe. It will take about half a year to a year. Please hold on.

Hessian Kingdom: We are busy fighting a fierce battle with the Stonemen. We cannot tell the winner in a short time. We will definitely send troops to support when the situation on the battlefield improves.

South Coast Kingdom: The Three-Eyed Tribe is so powerful that we can only barely resist and want to send troops to support you, but we are powerless but unable to do so.

Principality of Moxi: We suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. We are defending against the counterattack of the Ancient Relics Alliance and hope that the alliance can provide support.

Alpha Kingdom: Orcs invaded and the northern front of the kingdom fell. Now we have nothing to do but ask the Alliance to support a batch of strategic supplies.

…

Those who are busy are busy, those who are poor are crying for poverty, those who are miserable are miserable. When it came time to provide specific support, no one was willing to contribute.

It's not that all countries don't have a big picture view, it's just that the elven army is not easy to mess with. In particular, the reputation of the Elf Magician Group is resounding throughout the continent.

It may be an exaggeration to have forbidden spells flying all over the place, but on the battlefield, it is definitely unjustifiable not to encounter a few forbidden spells.

Unless all countries work together, no human country alone can afford such losses.

However, under the current situation, only the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See can count half of it. Because they wanted to use the war to deceive their teammates, the performance of the Holy See army on the battlefield was a mess.

If the top forces of these two families join forces, it will be easy to deal with the elves. But the loss that needs to be paid will definitely not be small.

It is obviously not in line with human nature to sacrifice one's family wealth to fight against the elves for a false reputation.

In the Lutetia Palace, looking at the thick letter asking for help in his hand, Charles III now had a very headache. Compared with other countries, the Frankish Kingdom's excuse was too lame after all.

Everyone knew that the war between them and the orcs was coming to an end, so it was obviously unjustifiable to refuse to send troops on this grounds.

If the Frankish Kingdom was not the most powerful country on the mainland and did not have such a great influence in the Human Alliance, then it would just be done.

The Holy See, which also has spare power, is not panicking at all now. It already has a bad reputation on the mainland, so it doesn't hurt to add to it.

The Frankish Kingdom is not good. As the leader of the Human Alliance, they still have some dignity. Charles III must consider the political impact.

The most troublesome thing is that the Frankish Kingdom still has an enclave in the northern continent, which happens to be blocking the path of the elven army. The local lord also asked him, the boss, for help.

The obligations of the monarch and his subjects are mutual. While the vassals are loyal to the king, the king must also safeguard the interests of the vassals.

It would definitely not work to betray the younger brother directly. Once this precedent is set, the loyalty of the nobles to the king will inevitably be affected, and the vassal system of the Frankish Kingdom may be shaken.

Even if you can't protect it, you must at least make a gesture of protecting it and fulfill your obligations as a monarch.

In terms of overall national strength, the Frankish Kingdom is no weaker than the Elves. If there are no other forces, it would be okay to start a full-scale war directly.

But now the two sides are in the south and the north, and it belongs to the kind of game where there is no benefit if you win, and you will lose blood if you lose.

To fulfill the obligation of becoming a king, reinforcements must be sent. If you send too few troops, you will lose your life; if you send too many troops, the kingdom cannot afford the losses.

"Now that all countries are unwilling to contribute, and it is impossible to organize a coalition, what do you think we should do?"

Charles III asked helplessly.

If I had known it was so hot, I shouldn't have coveted the tax revenue and just let the enclaves in the northern continent become independent. Nothing happened now.

“Your Majesty, the situation in the Northern Continent is now irreversible.

The Warhammer Kingdom collapsed, the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea fell, the Principality of Alton was destroyed, and the Principality of Moxi was severely weakened. Except for the Kingdom of Alpha, which still had strength, no strong country could be found.

A few days ago, a wave broke out in the Alpha Kingdom, almost crippling the ancient alliance of survivors, but it was just a flash in the pan.

After the orcs launched the northern invasion, they had to concentrate their forces to defend the northern border, and were unable to stop the elves' army from moving south.

The Counties of Ruilin, Grint, and Nadal are all small countries. Kolubia has long been annexed by the Hessians, and none of them are useful.

The remaining areas, except for the two enclaves of the kingdom, are all enclaves of other great nobles. Judging from the current situation, they are obviously ready to give up.

It is difficult to support a single tree. Even if the kingdom is willing to spend a lot of money, it will be difficult to hold on to those two enclaves now, so it is better to simply give up.

It happened that the kingdom destroyed the Orc Kingdom and obtained a large area of ​​land. It directly transferred the local lords back and asked them to clear out the Orc tribe. "

Prime Minister Duke Bergson suggested.

It is indeed a bit bullying to ask the noble lords to abandon the well-developed mature land and instead manage a piece of raw land, but the current situation is special.

The army of elves is about to reach the door of the house, and if they don't run, they will have no chance to escape. It is indeed a financial disadvantage to transfer the seal, but compared with the loss of life, it is not worth mentioning.

As long as the noble lord and the king agree to change the fiefdom, others will naturally have no objections.

Even if a group of nobles come back to grab the cake, it is better than dragging the kingdom into the endless abyss just for a fiefdom.

If they really fight against the Elf army alone, no matter what the final outcome is, the Frankish Kingdom will be the loser.

"Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is right. Just two enclaves are not worthy of our war.

The elves taking action to rescue several foreign races in the Central Continent is actually a good thing for the kingdom.

After digesting the land left by the orcs, the kingdom's strength will surely grow further, and the strength gap between countries will further widen.

For the kingdom, what is needed most now is not to defeat the alien alliance, but to end the continental war as soon as possible.

As long as the human race is not defeated, the sooner the war ends, the better it will be for us.

It's best to end this war in advance before the Iliban Kingdom solves the cannibals and the Holy See solves the dwarf king! "

Marquis Jesus proposed ambitiously.

As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Jesus has long been dissatisfied with the current international situation. However, under the mutual restraint of all parties, the Frankish Kingdom did not dare to break the balance rashly.

Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. Once his plan is completed, the situation on the mainland will definitely develop in a direction that is beneficial to the kingdom.

By annexing the Orc Kingdom, the Frankish Kingdom will be able to throw off its competitors in one fell swoop and become the only one on the continent.

International competition has always been slow at one step and slow at every step. Once the Frankish Kingdom transformed its strategic advantage into strength, it would be difficult for other countries to catch up.

After a slight hesitation, Charles III nodded.

"Then let's do it! By the way, tell those lords that when they evacuate, take the generals and the people with them.

To develop the land left by the orcs, the kingdom still needs a large population. Not only their citizens, but also war refugees from the Northern Continent will be brought back if conditions permit.

Prime Minister, organize the kingdom's fleet to pick it up. Let the navy escort everyone and ensure the safety of the fleet.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send people to communicate with the elves to make it easier for them. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, you can agree to them.

The kingdom's war is about to end, and domestic trade controls can be appropriately relaxed. "

As the first kingdom on the mainland, every move of the Frankish Kingdom will affect the direction of the situation on the mainland.

Charles III's words may seem ordinary, but in fact they represent a strategic change in the Frankish Kingdom.

Especially the final deregulation of trade, the only thing left was a public statement of support for smuggling trade.

The internal trade of the human race has not been interrupted by the war. The so-called trade control only prevents strategic materials from flowing into the hands of foreign races.

Capital is greedy and goes wherever there is profit. It is conceivable that after the Frankish Kingdom relaxes its crackdown on smuggling trade, how many strategic materials will flow into the hands of foreigners in the future.

Even for strategic purposes, the Frankish Kingdom may secretly directly provide material support to certain foreign races.

Similar operations have not happened before in human history. It's just that this was all in peacetime. During the mainland war, no one was stupid enough to support the alien race.

The core factor why Charles III dared to do this was that the foreign race was weakened and could no longer threaten the dominance of the human race.

It can be seen from the performance of various races during the war that many alien races are declining, and the only ones whose strength has not been affected are the elves.

However, everyone knows the shortcomings of the elves. If they don't participate in the war, they still have a transcendent status. Once they are involved in the mainland war, the little wealth they have painstakingly accumulated will be consumed sooner or later.

It seems that they are making great progress all the way, but the price behind this is that tens of thousands of elven soldiers will fall to the ground forever.

We lost more than 10,000 soldiers in the northern continent. How many more soldiers will we lose in the central continent?

Regardless of the fact that the three kingdoms of the Central Continent are not fighting well, it is mainly because they are conserving their strength and trying to use the war to consume the power of the small vassal countries.

Stimulated by the elves, the performance of the Three Kingdoms armies on the battlefield these days has instantly improved to a higher level.

Not to mention the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, even the loss of fifty or sixty thousand troops would be enough to cause pain to the elves for a while.

If you want to conquer the continent, you must first solve the low birth rate of the elves. Otherwise, the leader of the alien alliance will have no choice but to work hard to keep the mainland peaceful.

…

On the banks of Xueyue Lake, countless orcs gathered here driving cattle and sheep, making final preparations for all-out war.

“The front line fought very well and captured the enemy’s first line of defense without paying much cost.

According to past practice, the first level of Alpha is the most difficult to win. As long as this level is passed, the subsequent war will be much easier to fight. "

Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said in a good mood.

Once Jin Zi gets the most suitable stage, he can immediately shine with his own light.

learn from mistakes.

After suffering the pain of fighting independently, the Orc Empire also made changes in its military command.

Duke Daniel, who had outstanding military exploits, quickly stood out among the generals and became the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by the five emperors.

Duke Daniel lived up to expectations. After taking over the imperial army, not only did the attack speed accelerate, but the casualties of the troops also decreased.

My son is so good at fighting, so I am naturally happy. As for his shortcomings of being cold-tempered and unsociable, they were simply ignored by the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.

When a person is pleasing to the eye, shortcomings can also become advantages. This is the current situation. The original shortcoming has now become "the emperor's cold pride".

The rule of the game in the Orc Empire is Mu Qiang. Duke Daniel's outstanding military performance directly allowed him to squeeze out the previous brothers and become the heir of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

The result came a bit suddenly. Even Daniel did not expect that he, who was not liked by the nobles of the clan, would miraculously gain the support of everyone.

Everything was forced out. The experience of being chased by the human race and driven into the wilderness made the powerful realize that if they want to enjoy a luxurious life, they must first let the race survive.

Daniel, the most capable player, suddenly became a favorite. The once cold-faced Duke turned directly into the "arrogant emperor".

The other four royal families now don't care about holding back and stabbing the enemy, and first work together to eliminate their own threats.

It is not enough to destroy the Seven Prairie Kingdoms, but they must also severely defeat their old enemy, the Alpha Kingdom. Otherwise, after the war, the Alpha Kingdom took the lead, and maybe with the support of the Human Alliance, the Seven Kingdoms would come back.

After all, all the senior officials of the Seven Prairie Kingdoms had fled, and these guys had the support of big forces. With a little help from one family, there will be an army to restore the country.

"This is not enough. The main force of the enemy is still there. Now that the battlefield on the Western Front is over, it won't be long before Alpha's most elite expeditionary regiment appears on the battlefield.

Hudson is not as easy to fool as James. This man has never suffered a defeat since he entered the army.

With the current strength of the empire, it is only slightly stronger than the enemy. But they are on the defensive side, and relying on the fortifications, they can basically erase our advantage.

Marshal Daniel, what are you going to do next? "

The Lion King asked with concern.

If you don't have a strong family background, you can't mess around. The current Orc Empire wants to defeat the Alpha Kingdom without losing too much strength.

"Then hurry up and fight the enemy in advance before Hudson comes. Don't worry, the enemy has fallen into the trap and is now waiting to close the net.

Originally, I thought about waiting for the expeditionary force to come over and swallow them all together. But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there is no chance.

This is good, as it avoids overloading the net with too many fish.

After this battle, the empire will regain all the lands lost in the last war. No matter how powerful Hudson is, he still has to have soldiers in his hands.

Of course, it is limited to severely damaging the Alpha Kingdom. If you want to destroy them, it is probably difficult to achieve with the strength of the empire! "

Daniel said confidently.

In the eyes of others, being able to break through the enemy's strongest first line of defense so quickly was already a great victory, but Daniel was not satisfied.

After a month or two of hard work, they only managed to capture one line of defense and annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops. It was simply too weak.

According to this style of play, the war will evolve into a war of attrition in the middle and late stages. The current Orc Empire doesn't have that much cannon fodder to use. If it is really used up, both sides will suffer losses.
