King

Al Sadd family.

“Father’s dust has settled!

As you expected, Marshal Hudson did not take advantage of the situation and chose to minimize the big issue.

All the blame has been placed on the race in the center of the earth, and the king has sent people over to negotiate compensation with us! "

Rudy said with joy on his face.

In recent days, he has been under a lot of pressure. I'm afraid that the show will be messed up and it won't end later.

He even dreamed last night that the investigation team had found out the suspicion and found that Duke Tows had faked his death, and the Alsad family was suddenly in the spotlight.

Fortunately it's all over!

The investigation report is jointly endorsed by the military, the government, and the royal family. Even if something is wrong later, all parties will work together to cover up the situation.

Of course, Duke Towth still has to leave, and his current name can no longer be used.

The next time we met, he was a member of the Al Sadd family branch in the southern continent.

They are all from the same family, so it’s not surprising that they look alike.

As long as he doesn't run back to the kingdom and hang out in front of acquaintances, he'll be fine.

"Rudy, at times like this, you need to be more steady and don't show any suspicion.

If the king sends someone over to discuss compensation, then talk quickly.

You can ask for benefits, but you can't cut too hard from the royal family, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

First, ask for the withdrawal of the private army, and then ask for some flashy compensation, deliberately leaving an aggrieved image to the outside world! "

Duke Towth patiently asked.

My family knows their own affairs, and the Al Sadd family is indeed powerful, but there are too many outstanding people in the kingdom.

In this environment, if you want to pass on the family smoothly, disguise is an essential skill.

Duke Towth himself is an example. His previous image was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one suspected that there was something wrong with him from beginning to end.

"Yes, father!"

Rudy agreed immediately.

Although the benefits are good, be careful not to be greedy.

Now it is easy to blackmail the royal family, but the price is that the Al Sadd family will be targeted by the king, and they will settle accounts in the future.

In order to avoid the worst situation from happening, it is very necessary to leave a "wronged" image.

Everyone sympathizes with the weak, and the aristocratic world is no exception.

The more aggrieved the Alsad family behaves, the more sympathetic the nobles in the kingdom will be towards them.

This kind of sympathy score may seem worthless, but at a critical moment, it can play an unexpected role.

…

"Marshal, His Majesty has left the camp!"

After receiving the news, Hudson's good mood disappeared instantly.

Once the trap is revealed, you just slap your butt and walk away. This is a typical example of killing someone but not burying them!

If he hadn't been concerned about the political influence, he would have cursed.

But from the standpoint of Alpha I, leaving the talent is the best choice.

One-third of this expeditionary army is the private army of the Alsad family, and one-third of the noble officers are related to them.

Affected by the death of Duke Tous, these people already hated Alpha I.

Staying in the camp, there is nothing you can do except embarrass yourself.

"boom!"

Slapping the table in front of him to pieces, Hudson said angrily: "Give me the order and get ready to break camp.

Drafting an official document to report to the Royal Government, he said: The troops on the front line are demoralized and the combat effectiveness of the army is shaky. Let the Kingdom send reinforcements again! "

It is impossible to re-send reinforcements. Even if the royal government agrees, the nobles in various places will oppose it.

According to the rules of the aristocratic world, whoever causes trouble is responsible for cleaning up the mess.

Originally, Hudson was worried about the royal family's reputation and didn't want to do things too badly. Alpha I's sudden appearance completely dispelled his worries.

The coach has just died, and it is a fact that the morale of the army is weakened.

But all this changed after Hudson took over the command himself.

If he personally takes command of the troops, it will not be difficult to counteract the impact of Duke Tows' death.

But the problem now is that the ancestors of the royal family no longer care about the overall situation, so Hudson naturally does not have to continue to hold on.

Anyway, the royal family has many private armies, and they can shoulder these obligations alone.

"Marshal, it's over!

Even if we don’t consider the kingdom’s internal problems, we must also consider the reactions of our allies.

Originally, this accident caused us to lose face in front of our allies. If this happens again, I'm afraid..."

Before Grand Duke Efiero could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "Your Majesty, the Grand Duke, it is precisely to reduce the impact that you do this.

Duke Tous has just died. If the private army of the Alsad family suffers heavy losses, will the matter still be clear?

The kingdom cannot withstand turmoil, so let’s seek stability now! "

The reasons are very good, but it is a pity that it is the royal family who pays for the word "stability".

He wanted to continue speaking, but when the words reached his lips, Archduke Efiero suddenly got stuck.

He had been the Minister of Military Affairs and knew very well how complicated the situation of the Kingdom's army was.

The "principle of fairness" is the core of maintaining the kingdom's army. Once the rules are broken, the consequences will be much greater than what happened this time.

…

Kingdom of Hesse.

"Is the Alpha Man drama over?"

Alexander V asked with concern.

In recent years, the Alpha Kingdom has become extremely prosperous, directly elevating their kingdoms that were originally in the same echelon to a higher level.

Even though we are all allies, this feeling is still not wonderful.

If the accident was not caused by his own reinforcements, Alexander V would have been unable to help but rejoice in his misfortune.

Unfortunately, the reality was not what it would have been. The death of Duke Tous directly affected the efficiency of reinforcements, causing the Hessian army on the front line to suffer a lot.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not good.

The Alpha Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note claiming that the morale of the frontline troops was depressed and they were preparing to replace the troops with reinforcements. "

As soon as Foreign Minister Marquis Krasner finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall changed subtly.

Everyone may not care about the replacement of reinforcements in the Alpha Kingdom, but they need to bear the consequences.

War is a thing that consumes a lot of financial, human and material resources every day it lasts.

Maybe after fighting in several other battlefields, they would still have to contend with the enemy.

If they were at the peak of the Hessian Kingdom, they wouldn't care about minor troubles, but not now.

The past few years have been unlucky for them. First, they suffered heavy losses in the mainland war, and then there were the chaos of cults, demonic disasters, and the invasion of the inner earth race.

The war has been raging to this day, with the longest truce period being no more than three months.

For an agricultural country, the frequency of such wars has already exceeded their endurance limit.

“Send someone over to urge them to speed up the deployment of troops.

Tell our allies that the situation on the front lines is critical. Once a major defeat occurs, the surrounding alien races may take advantage of it at any time!"

Alexander V said with suppressed anger.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves!

When asking for help, you can only lower your posture.

From the establishment of the Five-Nation Alliance to the present, the Hessian Kingdom's voice in the alliance has been on a downward trend.

The most important factor is: the combat effectiveness of their army is incredible!

Fortunately, the situation in the three countries in the Central Continent was similar. There were two "brothers in distress" accompanying him, which allowed Alexander V to balance a little.

Deep down in his heart, he had made up his mind to comprehensively promote military reform after the war.

They had only learned half of the previous military reforms.

For example: the Alpha Kingdom's large reserve system, they only established a reserve, and daily training and logistical support were compromised.

After the war broke out, these troops did not disappoint, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

They were once the elites of the kingdom, and they are still the elites of the kingdom now. Unfortunately, the number of these troops has never been increased.

Affected by the war, the number of elites in the Hessian Kingdom not only did not increase, but actually shrunk a lot compared to before.

Having never experienced the pain of war, I picked up a copy of Hell at the beginning, so my reserve force was naturally unable to keep up.

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Five-Nation Alliance can maintain unity is that the three countries of the Central Continent continue to decline.

This is determined by geographical location!

Taking root in the land of the Fourth War destined them to a tragic fate in troubled times.

The second is the lack of a stable strategic rear. The key is that they are incomparable to the powerful human nations in the northern and southern continents.

The powerful countries in the south surpassed them in politics, economy, culture, and military.

The advantages of the two allies in the Northern Continent are not so obvious. They are even more economical than them, but they can't stand up to each other.

In troubled times, this advantage alone is enough to offset all disadvantages.

…

Augustburg.

The stalemate that lasted for many days finally reached a turning point today.

The reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom that appeared in the sky directly threatened the backs of the races in the center of the earth, forcing the enemy to divide their forces to intercept them.

"Finally here!"

Rubbing her tired eyes, Raquel couldn't help but sigh.

The armor on his body has been with him for seven days and has not been taken off. A foul smell can be smelled several meters away.

Fortunately, this is a battlefield, everyone's situation is similar, and no one can dislike anyone.

If he were in the capital, this unpleasant smell alone would be enough for the noble ladies to blacklist him.

"Send the order, let all soldiers put on armor, pick up weapons and prepare to fight back. Our reinforcements are coming!"

As he spoke, a spirit appeared from nowhere, and Raquel's state was suddenly revived to full health.

After hearing the news of reinforcements, the eyes of the exhausted defenders also shone with hope.

It was only natural for the younger brother to seek help from his elder brother.

It's not the first time anyway, everyone is already used to it. Everyone would be surprised if the Alpha Kingdom army did not come.

…

In the distance, the Alpha Kingdom aids the Mossi Legion.

"Blow the charge horn and all the troops attack!"

The cavalry, who were instantly ready to go, rushed out first and fought with the earth-centered races who came to intercept.

The spears flew away the enemies, and the blood dyed the ground red. The flying flesh and blood constantly tells the cruelty of war.

Seeing this scene, Duke Beckett's face did not change at all.

After leading troops in battles for half his life, he had long lost sight of life and death on the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the infantry phalanxes of both sides collided.

It is a pure clash of flesh and blood, without any technical content, and it is all about hard power.

The battlefield was filled with cries of killing and screams, one after another.

The shocking movement quickly attracted the attention of the defenders. Without any hesitation, Raquel immediately ordered a counterattack out of the city.

The attack from both front and back was complete, but the race in the center of the earth did not show the panic as imagined, but instead launched a tit-for-tat counterattack.

The spear passed through the body of the werewolf soldier, and the sharp claws tore through the chest of the human soldier at the same time.

The spirit and will in their brains are still fighting, but their bodies tell them: they are dead!

It has almost become the norm on the battlefield to use someone to support someone who is injured, and everyone has become red-blooded in the melee.

There is only one concept in his mind - kill the enemy in front of him.

In order to kill the enemy, soldiers in the battle did not hesitate to trade wounds for wounds and lives for lives.

In just one cup of tea, the color of the earth has changed, and the blurred flesh and blood has become the new embellishment of the earth.

"Father, if we continue to fight like this, our losses will be too great!"

A young officer muttered behind Duke Becket.

This is not the war that young people want!

In his mind, Hudson's strategizing and defeating the enemy at the minimum cost was the ideal war.

"I know!

But I only know this dull style of play, and I am not good at learning other tactics. If I use them, I will only humiliate myself! "

Duke Beckett said frankly.

The successful general is not necessarily the most capable of fighting, but he must be the most self-aware.

In his youth, Duke Becket also tried various tactics and almost killed himself.

After self-reflection, he believed that he did not have the talent to lead troops in war. From then on, he threw all kinds of tactics behind him, and some only practiced steadily.

Just like this, directly command the army to confront the enemy head-on, or simply defend the city.

The tactics adopted became simpler, and Duke Beckett's record became better.

He allowed his enemies to use all kinds of plots and tricks, but he chose to remain unmoved anyway. Even if the bait is brought to his mouth, he will not touch it.

As long as he leads the troops, he will fight the enemy in vain.

Naturally, I won't have any outstanding achievements, but I haven't suffered any big losses either.

An occasional defeat can bring considerable losses to the enemy.

After the timeline was stretched, most adventurous generals died on the battlefield. Duke Beckett, whose overall record was impressive, became a veteran in the royal army.

"Father, is this how you achieve your results?"

the young officer asked in disbelief.

The scene in front of him seemed to tell him that what he had learned before was a waste of time, and it was enough to just fight the enemy step by step.

“Don’t be surprised, war is inherently a process of waiting for the enemy to make mistakes without making any mistakes.

Marshal Hudson used his troops like a god because he could predict the enemy's movements in advance, or in other words, mobilize the enemy to follow his plan.

As a father, I don't have that ability, so I can only wait for the enemy to make mistakes.

Generally speaking, I won't suffer a loss if the strength is equal.

Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will discover the enemy's flaw, and you will be able to win one or two battles in which the weak defeat the strong!

After continuously attacking the city for many days, the enemy was now exhausted.

Just watch, we will definitely be able to break the siege of Augustburg today! "

Duke Beckett said with pride.

As long as victory can be achieved on the battlefield, no matter what tactics are used, they are all correct.

The conversation between father and son ended, and the killing on the battlefield continued. As time went by, soldiers on both sides of the war became red-blooded.

It’s time to test your daily training skills!

The soldiers of the inner earth race are indeed fierce, but in terms of discipline, they are far inferior to the kingdom's army.

Entering the melee stage, it is difficult for senior commanders to control the soldiers, and they can only rely on consciousness.

The war entered a stalemate stage. Kingdom soldiers in twos and threes spontaneously gathered to form a small military formation to fight together.

If someone in the military formation dies in battle, the soldiers next to him will spontaneously take over. When the number of people is gathered, some teams with only one seedling left will automatically join other teams.

Obviously there are more soldiers from the inner earth race put on the battlefield, but when fighting, the number of soldiers from the kingdom often turns out to be more.

It's not noticeable when charging, but in a stalemate, this performance is very eye-catching.

Fortunately, there are only a few main legions of soldiers with this quality. If the conscripted troops also had this quality, the battle would be one-sided.

…
