King

“Marshal, these two are Venerable Marcello and Venerable MacDonald.

In the previous defensive battle in Gutland Province, it relied on two venerables to stabilize the front! "

Marquis Simonyi introduced enthusiastically.

The reinforcements from the Alliance have not yet arrived, but the support from the Hessian Kingdom has arrived first.

It can be seen that the top management of Hesse still knows the priorities.

In the current situation, if any node suffers a big defeat, it will affect the whole situation.

Once the situation collapses, the human race can afford the losses, but the Hessian Kingdom cannot bear it.

The addition of two new second-level Saint Domain experts cannot make up for the high-end power gap between the two sides, but the battle will no longer be one-sided.

"You two came at the right time. The enemy used despicable means to assassinate the pillars of the human race stationed in Bofill Province. We are worried about the imbalance of power between the two sides.

With the help of two more sages, the next war will be easier to fight! "

Hudson said with a smile.

This is no courtesy, coming to the rescue at a critical moment when the two sides are at their peak power imbalance, and it comes in a timely manner.

With the lessons learned from the Bofill Province, the two Saint Domain experts stationed in the Parma Province will definitely be cautious.

It is difficult to hold the front, but if you run away when the city is broken, the success rate is still very high.

The strong men in the holy realm also want to save face. If they go back in despair after a defeat, where can they put their face?

Running over to join the coalition is a high probability event. By then, the comparison between the two sanctuaries will not be so disparate.

It is true that it is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, but it cannot stand up to its high quality. If you plan a little, you might be able to gain something.

In fact, the previous actions of the Demon Crocodile Tribe and Giant Foot Centipede had caused a wave of death, but they were not aware of it.

How could the Human Alliance just give up on such an act of challenging the bottom line by killing the powerful man from the Sanctuary of the human race?

If this trend is not killed, there will be many more imitators in the future.

“Marshal, you’re welcome, this is what we should do.

It is also an honor for us to be able to fight side by side with the marshal!

…”

The enthusiastic response of Venerable Marcello and Venerable Macdonald stunned Marquis Simonyi who was standing aside.

He had dealt with these two people more than a dozen times, and every time he saw them, they had cold faces. This was the first time he saw them talking pleasantly.

They were originally worried that their relationship with Hudson would not be handled well and that it would be difficult for them to behave themselves in the middle, but now there is no need to worry.

The cold and aloof Lord of the Holy Realm also knows how to watch people order their food.

After a brief absence, Marquis Simonyi quickly recovered. No matter what the reason is, the results are good.

"Marshal, we will catch up with those stinky centipedes tomorrow. How do you think we will fight them?"

Marquis Simonyi asked with concern.

Don't panic, it's going to be a close fight, and the coalition forces are still playing "bluff."

A counterfeit is a counterfeit after all. No matter how good he is at acting, the Hessian army he leads cannot become the elite of the Alpha Kingdom.

In fact, the Hessian army that has been screened has a good foundation.

Not only have they received basic military training, but they have also seen blood on the battlefield, making them far stronger than ordinary troops.

Unexpectedly, they had suffered a series of defeats in the past, and there was no trace of elite mentality.

"Your Majesty the Governor, you are certainly proceeding steadily as planned!

Tell the soldiers that what we have encountered is a group of defeated generals and there is no need to be polite to them. "

Hudson replied calmly.

Since he is pretending to be an elite, he must continue to act.

War is about military morale. As long as the enemy thinks that the coalition forces are elite, then they will be elite.

The centipede army is running in front, and the coalition forces are chasing behind. The pursuers have certain psychological advantages over the fleeing enemies.

Now that we have reached the place, the giant footed centipedes have stopped running, but the morale disadvantage of the army cannot be reversed at once.

The enemy has superior strength, and if they want to win, the coalition must continue to expand their morale advantage.

After catching up with the enemy, launching an attack immediately is undoubtedly the best way to continue your advantage.

Ordinary soldiers have limited knowledge and cannot distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. As long as the coalition is the one taking the initiative to attack, everyone will automatically assume that their own side has the advantage.

Just as he was about to say something, Marquis Simonyi swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

The coach in front of him was not an ordinary general he could question.

In his mind, Marquis Simonyi had already found an excuse.

It is normal not to understand Hudson's tactics. If he can understand them, then the enemy can also understand them.

Marquis Simonyi does not object, and others will not object.

All the generals in the camp are not fools. No one raised any objection, mainly because they were too smart.

Ordinary coaches can object to their opinions, but there must be deep meaning behind the decisions made by a legend like Hudson.

If you haven't discovered the secret of using troops like this, it's because your knowledge is limited. Maybe others have already discovered it.

If you jump out and ask why, wouldn't it look like you are very incompetent?

Once you leave an impression of incompetence to the outside world, it will greatly affect your career.

Obviously they don't know anything, but everyone pretends that I understand.

The two powerful men from the Sanctuary were confused. However, they were just powerful individuals and had never led troops to fight in hundreds of years.

Since you don't understand it, you just don't want to worry about it.

Seeing the "honey confidence" displayed by all the top leaders of the coalition forces, Hudson knew that his plan was half successful, and the next step was to pass on this confidence.

…

Giant Foot Centipede Camp.

"Your Majesty, this city is in ruins. Even if we defend the city, it will be difficult to have much effect.

The enemy's strength is only half of ours, so it's better to catch them off guard while they have just arrived and are not yet firmly established! "

As soon as the six-winged centipede finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. The way the centipedes looked at him was really weird.

"Marshal Howell, this is the centipede you brought out, why are you so reckless?

If the Alphas are easy to deal with, why don't we retreat all the way from the Hundred Mile Corridor to here?

If we blindly fight the enemy, even if we win by chance, we will lose blood.

Compared with the human race, which has a great family and great business, our little family wealth is only the military strength of a province! "

Lord Saiyam was the first to retort.

As a cautious centipede, what he hates most is risk.

After the last battle with the coalition of nobles in the Southeast Province, he personally arrested several human nobles for interrogation, and finally learned the total strength of the Southeast Province.

Reserves are also soldiers. Anyway, in terms of numbers, the Giant Foot Centipede has about the same strength as the Southeast Province.

After rounding, it can be said that the two are equal.

The military strength of a powerful province is comparable to theirs. If we compare the strength of the two major races, the disparity is endless.

"Venerable Saiyam, this is not how the accounts are calculated. There are strong and weak among the human race, and the southeastern province of Alpha Kingdom is just an exception.

If all the human provinces had such strong military strength, the continent of Aslant would have been unified by the human race long ago.

Along the way, everyone has seen the gap between the strong and weak countries in the human race.

Although Six Wings' proposal is a little radical, it is not completely without merit.

It is a good tactic to strike hard at the enemy while they are not yet firmly established.

Don't expect to severely damage the enemy, at least you can dampen their spirit first! "

Marshal Howell replied slightly unhappy.

He loved and protected his subordinates, and Liuyi followed him in battles in the north and south for more than ten years, but he made a lot of achievements.

It is your job as a counselor to make suggestions. Even if there are flaws, that's understandable.

It's okay to veto the proposal, but to criticize him in his name is going too far.

If he pretends to be cowardly at this time, how can he be a marshal?

If it weren't for the special status of Lord Saiyam, Howell would have cursed him loudly. There are not many good-tempered generals who emerge from the battlefield.

"You two calm down, it's all for the future of the race. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Prime Minister Jawat hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over.

Before the enemy comes to attack, it would be tragic if one's own family starts fighting among themselves.

After the interlude ended, the atmosphere at the scene changed. Many Centipede generals wanted to speak out, but were afraid of a scene similar to what happened just now.

The strange changes made King Centipede secretly annoyed. If he had known that this would happen, he would have discussed the battle plan separately.

Although the sages in the clan are powerful personally, they have been away from the battlefield for countless years, and no one knows how much military command they have.

Even if the command level of the peak period is retained, in the current environment, the old-fashioned combat thinking will most likely not keep up with the times.

"The situation of the enemy is unknown now. We should wait and see for now. Once we know the strength of the enemy clearly, we can then decide on the next battle plan!"

Seeing that no one spoke, King Centipede said gloomily.

In fact, they should have figured out the strength of their enemy.

Unfortunately, the morale of the troops in front was low. Everyone was thinking about running away and did not dare to turn around and fight the enemy.

Detecting the enemy camp is also done from a distance. If you get a little closer, you won't be able to get back.

Judging from the intelligence collected, it seems that the Alpha Kingdom has increased its troops, and it seems that the Hessian army has changed its vests.

The equipment of the human nobles' private armies is all decided by the lord, and there is no unified standard.

The two different investigation results came together, which directly confused the senior management of Giant Foot Centipede.

Radical and conservative combat methods are essentially based on two possibilities.

…

"Rumble..."

In the early morning, the familiar roar of the magic crystal cannon woke King Centipede from his sleep.

"What's going on? What happened outside?"

Perhaps it was the body's instinct. While asking, a trace of fear flashed between King Centipede's brows.

The last time I heard this sound, the Giant Centipede lost its vital passage to the center of the earth and was forced to flee thousands of miles away.

Just when the pillar was erected, the nightmare-like sound appeared in my ears again.

"Father, something bad has happened, the enemy has launched an attack!"

Justin's voice came from outside the door, and King Centipede immediately yelled:

"You bastard, stop talking nonsense!

Isn't it just that the enemy launched an attack, making it look like the sky was falling, so what's the fuss? "

He sounded relaxed, but deep down King Centipede was equally uneasy.

After the panic, I felt lucky. Fortunately, I was able to secure the city and defend it. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened if the enemy attacked like this.

It's a pity that the time is too short, otherwise after the entire defense line is repaired, the chance of winning against the enemy will be greater.

According to the agreement with the Demon Crocodile Clan, they only need to hold back the coalition forces, and there is no need to go out and fight the enemy desperately.

The current giant foot centipede actually plays the role of the former defender of Bofill Province, except that the enemy is coming from the opposite direction.

Frankly speaking, he was not used to sleeping in a human noble's big bed.

It's just that when entering the continent of Aslant, if you want to integrate into this land, you must learn the habits of ground creatures.

If you continue to live in a cave, you will be laughed at.

"Let's go and take a look outside first!"

After simply tidying up, King Centipede immediately gave instructions to his son.

In a short time, all the generals in the army had arrived at their respective positions and performed their duties.

I patrolled the camp all the way, and apart from some confusion, the overall performance was good.

The only thing that makes King Centipede unhappy is that enemy shells fall into the city from time to time. Once within the range of the enemy's magic crystal cannon, there is no sense of security.

"Commander of the Belt Corps, how is the fight on the front line?"

King Centipede asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has just begun to test, and there are only seven or eight magic crystal cannons attacking the city.

It is estimated that it will take another hour or two before the general offensive will be officially launched.

The time is too short, we can only rush to repair part of the city wall, and there is no time to set up the city defense magic array.

Once hundreds of magic crystal cannons gather together to blast together, I am afraid that the temporarily raised city wall will be destroyed under the enemy's fire in less than half an hour! "

The commander of the Belt Army hurriedly replied.

A mere seven or eight magic crystal cannons pose a limited real threat to the army, but once this base is expanded tenfold, the situation will be completely different.

The lack of long-range countermeasures is the biggest dilemma facing Giant Foot Centipede now.

This is the sequelae of a biased technology tree.

Living in the dark inner earth world for a long time, one's temperament will inevitably become dark and extreme. Everyone is studying how to improve their personal strength.

Just because his power is dark, doesn't mean he's degenerate.

In fact, most of the dark magic studied by the Giant Foot Centipedes is orthodox.

There are indeed evil spells, but they are all forbidden spells, and they are even more forbidden than those in Aslant Continent.

The environment is too harsh, and everyone will do anything in pursuit of strength.

The powerful are worried that the forbidden arts will spread, and the people below will be unable to control their desire to improve their strength, and will destroy the race.

In this regard, the inner earth world has never lacked negative teaching materials.

Every eight or eight hundred years, something will happen. At worst, several tribes were wiped out by their own people, at worst, the race was directly exterminated.

Judging from the performance of the giant foot centipedes, we can see that up to now, they have not caused any undead natural disasters.

It's not that they are benevolent, it's that the inner earth world is too dark, and practicing undead magic can easily drive you crazy.

To be precise, practicing all magic involves the risk of mental breakdown.

Except for a few races with unique talents, most of the races in the center of the earth are taking the physical route.

Magicians are a niche profession, so the development of magic technology cannot be counted on.

"Be on strict alert, don't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, wait until dark before looking for an opportunity to launch a counterattack!"

King Centipede nodded and said.

Everyone can see the threat of the enemy's magic crystal cannon at a glance, but knowing it does not mean being able to deal with it.

In fact, when taking over the interception mission, King Centipede also proposed to the Demon Crocodile Clan to trade the Magic Crystal Cannon.

The other party agreed immediately, and then told him: The order has been scheduled for two years, and the Demon Crocodile Clan can help order it from the Alien Alliance by paying the reward first.

After two years, even the best food will become sour.

There's no point in being angry, the Demon Crocodile King really didn't lie to him this time. The magic crystal cannon production line in the Alien Alliance is indeed scheduled to be two years away.

Their family alone certainly does not have the purchasing power, but there are many races in the center of the earth who cannot bear the support of the alien alliance.

In the Alien Alliance, except for the dwarves and elves, the productivity of other races is higher than the last, and many races do not even have the ability to produce magic crystal cannons.

The race that has the ability to produce this thing has very limited production capacity.

After all, the magic crystal cannon is not only expensive, but also slow to update and iterate, and its service life is long enough.

As long as the post-maintenance is good, it can be passed down to five generations in one shot.

The stock is large enough, the new demand is small, and only a few big forces have dedicated production lines.

Other forces only temporarily recruit a group of craftsmen and magicians for production when needed.

In this era of purely manual manufacturing, it is easy to have a backlog of orders when a bunch of orders are suddenly added.

If parts are not prepared in advance and are done from scratch, it will take three months at the fastest to produce a magic crystal cannon.

The magic crystal cannons currently used by the Demon Crocodile Clan are all second-hand goods from the Stoneman Clan. Some magic crystal cannons are older than the Demon Crocodile King and Centipede King combined.

"Rumble...Rumble..."

The sound of artillery fire continued. Seeing the enemy's continued passiveness, the coalition soldiers became more and more courageous.

"What a pity. If all the magic crystal cannons were concentrated here, we could completely level this city!"

Governor Pierce sighed.

After witnessing the power of concentrated use of magic crystal cannons, he had unknowingly become an advocate of the "win by fire" theory.

In private, he had told his cronies more than once that he would add a new magic crystal cannon corps to enhance the long-range attack capabilities of the family's private army.

It's useless to regret. These magic crystal cannons were transported from the rear with great effort, and more magic crystal cannons are still on the way.

Transporting such a heavy thing requires keeping up with the marching speed, which is difficult to achieve at this stage.

"Since the enemy has chosen to stand firm, it won't hurt if the magic crystal cannon arrives in a day or two at night!

Next, we will see how much time the defenders of Parma Province can buy us.

Your Excellency, Governor, please pay attention to the battlefield. I will go to observe the enemy's camp. "

After Hudson finished speaking, he flew directly into the clouds.

Maxim was not summoned this time. Since he became a strong man in the Holy Domain, the sky is no longer his forbidden land.

The first step of the bluff was successful, and the enemy's caution provided an opportunity for the coalition forces. Now it was time to find a way to defeat the enemy.
