King

On the Holy Mountain, the atmosphere at the Holy See headquarters was oppressive and suffocating. As the person directly responsible for the deterioration of the situation in the Central Continent, overwhelming pressure from public opinion swept towards the Holy See.

Even if you want to take the blame, you can't. According to the division of tasks within the Human Alliance, the Dwarf Kingdom happens to be within the responsibility of the Holy See, and this task was taken over on their own initiative.

The Holy See's active performance was not only to take the opportunity to weaken the Kingdom of Ruthenia, but also to expand the influence of the Holy See.

It would be very scary if religious organizations had no sense of existence.

Especially since a rebel boy appeared in each of the northern and southern continents, always trying to subvert their sacred status, the Holy See needed to come out to increase its presence.

But judging from the current situation, the situation is somewhat counterproductive.

Through this war, the influence of the Holy See has indeed expanded, and the declining Ruthenian Kingdom has been infiltrated into a sieve by them.

Unfortunately, something happened in the Dwarf Kingdom, and they did not follow the established script, which ruined the good situation of the Holy See.

If we hadn't trusted our allies too much and not been prepared for the enemies in the rear, and had been taken advantage of by the dwarf kingdom, the situation in the Central Continent would not have suddenly deteriorated to the point of collapse.

After suffering such a big loss, the countries in the mainland will naturally not give up. If you can't help the Holy See through actions, then you can fight back through public opinion.

No matter what the final result is, if there is such a big omission, the Holy See must give everyone an explanation.

So much so that the new round of the Human Alliance Council directly became a critical meeting against the Holy See. Representatives from various countries in the mainland caught them and sneered at them, which made the Holy See representative almost depressed.

Representatives who were more polite scolded them for "conniving aliens to harm the human race"; representatives who were rude directly accused them of "colluding with aliens and eliminating dissidents".

Dear Lord of the Morning, when it comes to the deterioration of the situation in the Central Continent, they are at most suspected of indulging the alien races, but definitely not to the point of "colluding with the alien races and eliminating dissidents".

After all, no matter how you look at it, the countries in the Central Continent are not considered mortal enemies of the Holy See.

Even if they really collude with foreign races and eliminate dissidents, they will still have to go after the heretics of the Alpha Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom.

"Captain Gulei, I need a reasonable explanation for the dwarf kingdom's division of troops to invade the Central Continent!"

The words of Shelter Seventh World made everyone's hearts tremble.

The coach was hurriedly called back from the front line. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the rhythm of holding people accountable.

If you directly reprimand or even curse, it means that there is still room for recovery. The most fearful thing is this lack of expression.

"Your Majesty, this incident was a complete accident. The armies of the Dwarf Kingdom were dragged to the front line by us, and no one expected that they would form dozens of second-line legions..."

Before Gu Lei finished his explanation, Pius VII had a mocking smile on his face and asked coldly:

"I didn't think of that. How about you go to the Human Race Alliance Assembly and explain the matter clearly in front of representatives from all countries?

There are dozens of second-line legions, as many as hundreds of thousands of troops, not dozens or hundreds of dwarves. You, the front-line commander, actually told me that I don’t know!

Well, really good!

If these troops did not go to the Mid-Continent and appeared directly on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Ruthenia, would you also tell me - no one thought of it beforehand? "

It is difficult to keep large-scale military deployments completely confidential. This kind of thing is not based on imagination. As long as more people are sent to investigate, something will definitely be discovered.

It's not like the Holy See doesn't have an air force. No matter how tight the enemy's defenses are, it's impossible to block the entire border.

If you find an opportunity, you can fly there. If that doesn't work, use the cover of darkness to sneak in at night.

The dwarf kingdom is only well-defended on the front line at best, but there is not that much air force guarding the rear. With a little bit of care, you can notice something is wrong.

Even if the information lags behind, everyone can accept it. However, the reality is that the Holy See knows nothing about the military maneuvers taking place in the Dwarf Kingdom.

If the enemy army really targets the Kingdom of Ruthenia, hundreds of thousands more enemy troops will suddenly appear, and the coalition led by the Holy See will suffer heavy losses.

No matter how good the reasons are, Gu Lei will definitely not be able to escape the charge of dereliction of duty this time.

It's good to be able to save the situation. If the Central Continent cannot be pulled back from the abyss, it will not only be a tragedy for Gu Lei personally, but also the entire Holy See will suffer heavy losses politically.

"Your Majesty, please give us a chance to make amends!

Since the situation in the mid-continent deteriorated, the Judgment Knights have launched a fierce attack on the front line, striving to defeat the dwarf kingdom in the shortest possible time.

The deterioration of the situation is only temporary. After we can defeat the main force of the Dwarf Kingdom, we will immediately send troops into the Central Continent to support other countries and help..."

Before Gu Lei could finish what he said, his old enemy Blake, the leader of the Judgment Knights, stood up and interrupted:

“Everyone can talk big words, but the key still depends on the performance on the battlefield.

If the dwarf kingdom had been defeated so easily, this war would not have been dragged on until now.

If you make a mistake, admit it!

Carrying it to the end will only make more mistakes.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the situation in the Central Continent will collapse before we can defeat the Dwarf Kingdom.

The top priority now is not to quickly defeat the dwarf kingdom, but to stabilize the countries in the Central Continent first.

It's rare for an alien alliance to cooperate sincerely. I don't think this situation will last long. Maybe the elves are already tinkering with negotiations.

After all, their strategic goals for participating in this war were basically achieved. If you continue to do so, you are simply paying for your allies.

All races in the alien alliance now rely heavily on the support of the elves. As long as the elves want to negotiate peace, they cannot stop them.

In view of the current situation, if it were not for the worry that the Human Alliance would be held responsible afterwards, I am afraid that as long as the elves show a little bit of goodwill, all the countries in the Central Continent would rush to compromise with them.

It would be best to stabilize the situation in the Central Continent. If nothing can be done, then find ways to ease relations with other countries in the Central Continent. Otherwise, the post-war situation will be very unfavorable to us! "

A series of analyzes made Gu Lei break into cold sweat on his forehead. There was no other way. This wave of attacks from his old enemy hit his weak spots. These problems were exactly what he was most worried about.

Being pushed to the brink of national subjugation and genocide, if the countries in the Central Continent were lucky enough to escape this disaster, they would definitely alienate themselves from the Holy See after the war.

In his mind, Gu Lei could already vaguely see a group of new heretics rising. Echoing the two major heresies in the north and the south, heretics are everywhere from south to north.

"you……"

The trouble caused was too great, and Ming Ming gritted his teeth in hatred, but Gu Lei was forced to swallow the words when they came to his lips.

If you want to win sympathy points, you have to show weakness now.

There are many factors that affect accountability. Right and wrong are only secondary factors. The Pope also has to consider the political balance.

The Knights of Judgment caused trouble in the past, and Blake was able to land smoothly. The most important thing is that the Pope wants to play a balance.

The situation is similar now. The several major knights of the Holy See confront and balance each other, so that the authority of the Pope can be guaranteed.

With Pius VII's style, the probability of beating someone to death with a stick before finding a more suitable replacement was extremely slim.

What's more, the current Ruthenian battlefield is still dominated by the Knights of Judgment. After taking down Gu Lei as the commander of the regiment, and suddenly replacing him with someone else, the command issue alone was not smooth for a while.

"enough!"

"Whoever caused the mess is responsible for cleaning up. Commander Gulei Corps, I don't care what difficulties you have, the Kingdom of Ruthenia must achieve a breakthrough in the shortest possible time.

If you can't do that, then you don't have to come back. The Holy See does not raise trash, especially trash that can only cause trouble!

Bishop Sauron, please arrange for people to contact the various countries in the Central Continent. If they are willing to persist, we can provide certain compensation.

No matter how the situation changes, our relations with the countries in the Chinese mainland must now be repaired.

Let the Three Kingdoms hold on as much as possible. If it is really impossible, don't force it. You can make promises to them when necessary. In short, everything should be done to repair the relationship. "

Pius VII said cruelly.

Now is not the time to settle accounts after the fall. Even if someone needs to be replaced, it will only happen after Gu Lei cleans up the mess.

Judging by everyone's reactions, you can tell that there were many people who were angry at Gu Lei, but not one of them asked for a change of coach.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to replace him, it's mainly that the position of frontline commander is too hot now. Whoever comes next will be responsible for cleaning up the mess. If you do a good job, you should be responsible. If you mess up, you will have to bear the responsibility together.

If you want to turn things around in a short period of time, severely damage the dwarf kingdom, and march into the middle continent, you are just trying to spread the pie.

The Holy See's army is indeed powerful, and the dwarves are not soft persimmons. In particular, the area occupied by the dwarf kingdom is still mainly mountainous and hilly, which is not suitable for the expansion of large armies.

To be precise, it is not suitable for the expansion of the human army. The dwarf army can still move freely.

The Kingdom of Arms is also a mining maniac. Most of the traffic in the Dwarf Kingdom is a super tunnel connected by mines, which are equipped with exclusive magic mining vehicles with a load capacity of several tons.

It transports ore in peacetime and transports troops and strategic materials in wartime. It is an important weapon of the country.

In order to guard against the humans, the dwarf kingdom deliberately designed the height of the mines in the border areas to be particularly short. At a height of less than 1.3 meters, humans cannot walk normally inside.

The Dwarf Kingdom’s investment in national defense projects is also not low. There are a lot of fortresses and fortresses, all of which are basically built beyond specifications. You just have the money to do whatever you want.

Not to mention weapons and equipment. The most awesome arms dealer in the mainland will not lack equipment for anything.

The reduced version sold externally is a symbol of quality and is deeply loved by all ethnic groups in mainland China. The power of the original and authentic products will only be greater.

In the war ahead of the Holy See, it has been unable to achieve a breakthrough. The lack of effort is only partly due to the fact that the dwarves are really not easy to bully.

…

In the northern continent, since the expeditionary force entered the repair period, Hudson once again lived a life of staring at the enemy.

A decisive battle is impossible.

No matter how tempted the orc army outside was, he insisted on standing still. The generals who were eager to try were also scolded by Hudson.

Fortunately, Hudson had already achieved success and established prestige in the military. Otherwise, people would have suspected him of being a show-off if he were to play like this.

The more unpretentious a tactic is, the harder it is to crack. A simple move of stopping with static gave the orc army a huge headache.

Daniel, the coach, also returned with his troops, but after a walk on the prairie, his military god status no longer existed.

He is afraid of comparison in everything, and it would be unlucky for him to meet Hudson. The loss of troops and generals destroyed most of his prestige in the army.

The main reason is that he is too young and has only been a head coach for a short time, so his prestige has not yet had time to take root in the hearts of the people.

If a veteran general encounters such a slight setback, it will be nothing at all. After all, flowers don’t last forever, people don’t last a thousand days, and no one can guarantee victory.

"Marshal Daniel, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. We all know what happened in the battle on the prairie, and the main responsibility is not on you.

Under normal circumstances, no one would have expected that following the march would lead to a deviation of dozens of miles.

The officers involved were all killed, and there is no way to hold them accountable, so let the matter go!

Adjust your mentality first. You still need to worry about the next war. "

Behemoth Emperor Alex spoke to comfort him.

Among the five emperors, only he can do this kind of job of soothing people's hearts.

It has nothing to do with personal ability. The main reason is that the other four emperors are full of arrogance and cannot let go of their figure.

Everything comes from strength.

In recent years, the Behemoth royal family has declined too much and has fallen behind among the five royal courts.

In the prairie war that just ended, they lost another large tribe. Let the already poor population be hit hard again, and if some changes are not made, the race will be exterminated.

Therefore, Alex had to find a role that suited him in the empire in order to preserve Beamon's royal status.

"Thank you for your concern, His Majesty Beamon. My current condition has stabilized and will not affect the subsequent battle."

Daniel responded politely.

Gratitude still flowed out inadvertently between his brows. It's obvious that this cold-faced Duke also has a tender side.

Even though he knew Alex was putting on a show, he was still very grateful.

No matter how much he brought down the emperor, he was still the leader of the Orc Empire. With Alex's help, a word of justice would be more effective than Daniel's own defense a hundred times.

"Everyone is here, let's start discussing the withdrawal of troops!

The war has progressed to this point, and the plan to quickly defeat the Alpha Kingdom can already be declared bankrupt.

The empire could not afford the losses of a forced siege, and the enemy refused to come out for a decisive battle. If the army continues to stay here, there will be no real gains except a waste of money, food and time.

I personally think there is no need to continue this meaningless confrontation. It is expected that national power will be wasted here, so it is better to go back to recuperate.

The empire has been very consumed in recent years, and all races are in a state of exhaustion. It's time to take a good rest. "

Silver Moon Wolf Emperor was the first to speak.

Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. The supply of strategic materials is insufficient, and these carnivorous races have become the biggest victims.

"The Wolf King is right, it is indeed time to take a rest. The empire has just recovered the prairie, and production in various places also needs to be restored.

We cannot accomplish this by relying solely on the old, weak, sick and disabled in the rear. What we should do is to stop the war as soon as possible, disband the civilians and the army and go back to reclaim the wasteland and herd their animals. "

The Lion King followed closely and echoed.

The former war faction has become the current peace faction. Politics is so mysterious. In the face of racial interests, a flexible political stance is also necessary.

“Stopping the war is not something we can just say.

Will the Alpha Kingdom across the way agree?

How should the alien alliance explain it?

Our relationship with the Alliance is not good to begin with. If we continue to make peace with the enemy without permission, I am afraid that our relationship with all the tribes in the Alliance will be over! "

The Bear King immediately objected.

He was not opposed to stopping the war, but not now. The situation in the Central Continent was finally favorable to the alien alliance. If we withdraw from the war at this time, we are betraying our teammates.

Similar operations have been carried out by the Orc Empire in history. Being isolated and helpless in the last war was the price they paid for "betrayal".

If there is a shortage of strategic materials, then find a way to solve it. If the food supply is insufficient, just use wild vegetables, leaves, bark and grass roots to replace it. Who was not a carnivore in ancient times?

In the eyes of the Bear King, the insistence of these purely carnivorous races is hypocritical. As long as you stay hungry for a few more days, things will naturally change.

Anyway, the Ursines can become omnivores, so other races should have no problem.

"Xiong Emperor, you said it yourself, we don't have a good relationship with the major forces in the alliance, so why rush to join them?

Even if we grit our teeth and persevere until the end, they will not appreciate it, but will think that this is how it should be.

The alien alliance wants to explain, why?

Except for the support from the elves, we have never received any assistance from other races. Why should we depend on their faces? If they want to exclude us, then let them be.

Our control areas are not bordering each other, so even if we are squeezed out in the alien alliance, it will not affect us. "

Silver Moon Wolf Emperor immediately retorted.

It's not that the Orc Empire doesn't want to unite with the alien alliance, it's mainly because there is a "nail house" called the Alpha Kingdom in the middle. This nail cannot be removed, and even if it wants to unite, it cannot be united.
