King

The interlude ended and the army continued on its journey.

Along the way, the troops in Hudson's hands were also increasing, and he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

It was all the fault of the giant centipede. There were nobles everywhere who lost their territories in the war and needed to make meritorious deeds.

If they don’t want to live anonymously and in a dark corner for the rest of their lives, Hudson becomes their life-saving straw.

Losing territory is a serious crime, but this time they had extenuating circumstances. The enemy is coming fiercely, and the small and medium-sized nobles have no power to resist.

The world of aristocrats is a humane society. Just get some military exploits and run things and things will be over.

The war is not over yet, and the number of nobles killed in the Hessian Kingdom is already in the thousands. The top management also needs to consider: the losses of the grassroots nobles are too heavy, which affects the stability of the rule.

Hudson had no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of his allies, but favors could still be sold.

If you can't act as the main force, you can use it as an auxiliary force. With more cooperation from local snakes, it will be easier to gain home field advantage on the battlefield.

The army advanced steadily and unhurriedly, and the giant footed centipedes in front had an unpleasant experience.

Their military morale has indeed recovered a lot recently, but thinking of the painful experience of previous battles, King Centipede himself felt unsure.

Stopping and fighting the enemy is indeed an option, but the risk is too great.

If the human race loses on the battlefield, they can continue to call for reinforcements from the rear; if they suffer heavy losses, it will be the disaster of annihilation.

The situation has developed to this point. For the Giant Foot Centipedes, the most important thing is not to seize much territory from the human race, but to find a way to continue the race.

"Your Majesty, the news has been verified and the enemy has indeed caught up.

The number of troops is approximately between 200,000 and 300,000, all flying dragon-bear war flags. It should be that the Alpha Kingdom has increased its troops.

Now the enemy is less than two hundred miles away from our position! "

The Aslant continental army always flies the commander's flag when going on expeditions. The flag is used to determine the army's affiliation. There is nothing wrong with it in theory.

Under normal circumstances, even in joint operations, all parties will fly their own flags.

This kind of complete transfer of command power, even the ability to put down one's own flag, cannot be said to be unique in mainland history, but there are not many records of sincerity.

If it were just a flag, Marshal Howell would not have made a strategic misjudgment. The key is that these troops have been screened!

Compared with the Hessian Kingdom army they encountered before, the quality was obviously not at the same level.

Upon hearing the news, King Centipede's expression suddenly changed. Two hundred miles may not seem like a close distance, but that's only for ordinary armies.

For the elite extraordinary troops, this distance is actually nothing.

The human race is the overlord of the continent, and the Alpha Kingdom ranks among the top three among the human race. Who knows how much wealth it has?

After seeing the strength of the coalition of nobles in the Southeast Province, the entire Alpha Kingdom gave them the impression of being powerful!

"Give me the order to throw away unnecessary baggage, throw away those worthless trophies, and speed up the march.

You must enter the Bofill Province within three days and join the Demon Crocodile Clan! "

King Centipede ordered decisively.

If you're not sure about the enemy's strength, just use a high estimate.

While making the decision, King Centipede had already imagined the 300,000 main force of the Alpha Kingdom coming to kill him.

There is no doubt that such an enemy is enough to bring them annihilation.

Even if they were lucky enough to win, they would suffer heavy losses and lose the right to survive on this land.

If you can't win, you can find allies for help. Regardless of whether the Demon Crocodile is willing or not, they are forcibly designated as "allies" by King Centipede.

As long as the pursuers are brought over, the Demon Crocodile Clan doesn't want to join forces with them.

After all, in the eyes of the human race, there is no difference between the Demon Crocodile Tribe and the Giant Foot Centipede. They are both invaders from the inner earth world.

The dignity of the continent's overlords cannot be violated, and it is impossible for human nations to allow these alien invaders to claim their own territory as kings.

…

Bofill Province, the base camp of the Demon Crocodile Clan.

After passing the information to each other, a group of senior officials, including the Demon Crocodile King, grabbed the giant centipedes and cursed them.

When they were in the inner earth world, the giant centipedes kept causing trouble for them, and they still couldn't escape this enemy in the surface world.

"Your Majesty, the situation has changed now, and our previous strategic plan is no longer feasible.

Judging from the intelligence collected, the Alpha Kingdom is much stronger than the Hessian Kingdom, and the strength of the two countries is not on the same level.

They were brought here by those hateful centipedes, and a big battle was inevitable. It was impossible to keep a low profile.

For the current plan, we can only speed up the preparations for war and unite with the Giant Foot Centipede to defeat this powerful enemy! "

Prime Minister Susilo Susilo sighed and said.

After gaining the support of the alien alliance, they were originally able to continue to expand to the outside world, but the shrewd Demon Crocodile tribe controlled their ambitions.

Just maintaining the front line in two provinces maintained a false balance with the enemy.

This method of hiding their strength worked very well and successfully prevented them from becoming standouts.

Avoiding the key blows from the Hessian Kingdom, the Demon Crocodile tribe digested its territory while making diplomatic efforts to seek opportunities to join the anti-human alliance.

Theoretically speaking, if this situation continues, the Demon Crocodile Clan will definitely be able to persist until the end.

Even if they were to be defeated, it would only be after the other inner earth races had become cold that the top leaders of the Hessian Kingdom would care about them.

If the anti-human alliance is dragged off the battlefield during this period and triggers a new round of mainland war, they will have a chance to gain a foothold on the mainland.

They were full of plans, but as soon as the giant centipedes got involved, they were dragged into the limelight in an instant.

"Prime Minister, since the situation is out of control now, there is no need for me to delay on the battlefield.

First deal with the Hessian army that besieged us, and then go back and deal with the Alphas!

If possible, those nasty centipedes cannot be spared.

They dare to plot against us like this. If they don't teach them a lesson, if word spreads, all races will dare to come and act wild in the future! "

Marshal Kanter said murderously.

Although the strategies formulated by the clan are good, they are not so friendly to those who implement them.

In the process of strategic stalemate, every time they fought against the enemy, they had to think about controlling the rhythm of the battlefield.

It doesn't work if you lose, it doesn't work if you win, your hands and feet are tied.

After holding it in for so long, Marshal Kanter finally got the chance, and he couldn't hold it back.

"Marshal, what are our chances of winning against the enemy?"

The Demon Crocodile King asked with concern.

The war must be fought, but the risks must be assessed before doing so.

They were confident that they could deal with the Hessian Kingdom army in front of them, but when they encountered the mysterious and unpredictable number one general in the mainland, no one dared to take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!

The Alpha Kingdom is indeed powerful, and Hudson is indeed powerful, but they did not send many troops this time.

As long as we are more steady when fighting him and don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him, no matter what Hudson can do, he can't do anything to us! "

Marshal Kanter said with confidence.

He fought in the army for half his life, and defeated countless powerful enemies before ascending to the throne of marshal.

Marshal Kanter was indeed a little afraid of Hudson, who became famous at a young age, but he was also a little eager to try.

Challenge famous generals and trample them under your feet. This is the fastest way to become famous.

Compared with the famous Hudson, Marshal Canter's reputation was only spread among some races in the inner earth world, and all the races on the mainland did not take him to heart at all.

Because of the water release in front, not even the Hessians who were fighting with them took him seriously.

Of course, even if he lets go, he can't expect the human race to promote his reputation on his behalf.

As a component of the continent's overlords, the Hessians also have their own arrogance. Unless he has a particularly impressive record, don't expect others to admit it.

At this moment, if you want to step on Hudson and get to the top, personal success and fame are only one aspect, and the other is to consider racial interests.

The elves are unwilling to accept the earth-centered races. In addition to the hatred left over from ancient times, more importantly, they still look down upon them.

Perhaps the power of the entire inner earth world combined is a force that can change the pattern of the continent, but a single race in it can only do that.

This small amount of military power in the hands of the Demon Crocodile Tribe can at most make the Elf Tribe take a look at it, but it is far from the point where it must be taken seriously.

But if you add an invincible commander to this foundation, the weight will be different.

The anti-human alliance has continued to lose in the war with the human race. In addition to being difficult to integrate internally, it also lacks a commander who can coordinate the overall situation.

This aspect is the shortcoming of the alliance, and also the shortcoming of the elves themselves. Because they have enjoyed peace all year round, it is difficult for the elven generals to have the opportunity to practice their skills.

"Marshal, since you are confident, let's implement it!

If possible, look for opportunities to consume part of the Giant Foot Centipede's strength on the battlefield.

Our neighbor has always been ambitious, and now he dares to scheme against us like this. If we don't teach them a lesson, there will be trouble in the future.

They failed to live up to their expectations and lost the geocentric passage. It is very likely that they are targeting our geocentric passage.

When fighting the enemy, we must be cautious, our allies are unreliable! "

The Demon Crocodile King said earnestly.

The grudges between the giant-footed centipede clan and the devil crocodile clan can be traced back many thousands of years, and it has long been unclear what is right and what is wrong.

Because the strength of the two races was similar, and there were other surrounding forces eyeing them eagerly, they fought and fought and made trouble in the inner earth world, but in the end they maintained a certain degree of restraint.

Now that they suddenly want to cooperate, the Demon Crocodile King is filled with the "evil" of the Centipede King.

This deep-rooted understanding has been deeply rooted in the bones for a long time, and it cannot be reversed in a short time.

"Your Majesty is right, those stinky centipedes are indeed hateful.

If there is a chance, I will definitely let them know: the great demon crocodile clan cannot be provoked! "

Marshal Kanter replied in agreement.

…

"Rumble..."

The roaring sound of magic crystal cannons sounded, and the ancient city of Parma became crumbling in the flames of war.

The once proud city defense magic array had long since lost its due function under the attack of the enemy's magic-breaking spear.

Under the attack of the enemy's magic crystal cannon, many gaps have appeared in the solid city defenses.

In order to plug the gap, Duke Ernst even sent his own Governor's Guard, but this could only relieve an urgent need.

To solve the problem, relying solely on the strength of the defenders is currently unable to complete the task.

The war has progressed to this point, and Duke Ernst only feels that his brain is not enough, and the enemy suddenly becomes fiercer as if he has taken medicine.

If they had shown such ferocity earlier, Parma City's defense would have been destroyed long ago.

Taking advantage of the lull in the artillery fire, Duke Ernst patrolled the city defenses all the way, and couldn't help but greet the Stonemen in his heart.

If they didn't sell so many advanced weapons to the Demon Crocodile Tribe, the situation of the defenders would definitely be much better than now.

Strong and light shields, sharp spears, magic cannons, magic crystal crossbows, magic scrolls...

All the mainstream equipment on the mainland appear in the army of the Demon Crocodile Tribe.

What made Duke Ernst the most angry was the suit of armor captured on the battlefield. Its performance and defense were much stronger than the armor he wore.

You must know that his armor was ordered from the Dwarf Kingdom at a huge cost ten years ago.

Reality slapped him hard. The seemingly honest and honest dwarf was equally unambiguous in deceiving others.

In order to get him to pay for it, I promised him: This is the most advanced armor on the mainland, with extraterrestrial meteorites added to enhance defense, and each set is a limited edition.

It is indeed a limited edition, but it is not the quantity that is limited, but the quality.

“Damn aliens, all of them deserve to go to hell!

After I get through this disaster, I will make proposals every time the Human Alliance Parliament is convened in the future..."

Perhaps because he needed to pay attention to the occasion, Duke Ernst's complaining voice was very quiet and could not be heard clearly unless he was close.

The voice may be small, but the accumulated anger is not much at all.

The wealth accumulated by the family for hundreds of years is now all built on this line of defense. If you are not careful, it may overturn.

"Mr. Governor, good news!

Information came from the Kingdom that the coalition forces composed of the Kingdom and the Alpha Kingdom are coming towards us.

It is estimated that we will arrive in Phil Province in five days, and we will be a little two days late.

However, this time Marshal Hudson personally served as the commander of the army. As long as the coalition forces approached the Duffel Province, the enemy's good days would be over.

The city of Parma can be saved! "

Military officer Viscount Carman said happily.

Many letters asking for help have been sent out, but unfortunately there are too many places reaching out to the Royal Government for reinforcements, and the government has too few mobile troops that can be dispatched.

So much of the time, the result of the feedback is: "Wait first and send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

As for how long this will take, no one knows. Anyway, except for the support of some noble private armies from neighboring provinces, they did not see the main force of the kingdom.

After learning the good news, Duke Ernst was happy at first, but then his face turned ugly again.

No wonder the enemy suddenly launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties. It turned out that they knew that their reinforcements were approaching and wanted to clear the area in advance!

This is not good news for Parma City.

Reinforcements are there, but water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. If you want to get support, you have to be able to persist until that day.

The enemy's current offensive has shaken the foundation of the city's defenses. If they continue to attack like this, they may not be able to hold on for three days.

"Immediately send someone to contact Marshal Hudson, inform him of the situation we are facing now, and ask him to speed up!"

Duke Ernst ordered with a serious look.

…
