King

The volcano blocks the road, and the dwarves' bad luck cannot be found for the time being. Everyone can only vent their hatred on the alien alliance.

Without the usual quarrels, the Human Alliance quickly made a decision to increase investment in the war.

The countries in the Southern Continent, which originally watched the Five Nations Alliance and the foreign races fight, were forced to become the main force in the war this time.

Hatred is one thing, but the key is that we can't afford to lose face.

Overall, the Five-Nation Alliance performed well in the war, and could even be said to have performed at a superb level.

On the other hand, the countries in the Southern Continent are in embarrassment. As the war continues, no one has a record that they can show off.

It doesn't matter if there are a bunch of small countries, since they are weak anyway and it is normal for them to have no record.

The pressure put on the five major kingdoms of the Southern Continent, especially the Frankish Empire and the Iliban Kingdom, were under the greatest pressure.

If we don't show a brilliant record, the top management will be ruined by the spitting stars at home and abroad.

After the alliance made the decision, the five kingdoms accelerated the dispatch of troops.

A large amount of strategic materials and troops were transported to the Central Continent via sea routes, further escalating the scale of the war.

The countries in the Southern Continent were stimulated, and the three countries in the Central Continent became direct beneficiaries.

The reinforcements that had required repeated pleading were now delivered to the door themselves.

This shocking reversal makes the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi very envious, and they also want to help them!

Especially the Principality of Moxi, in the war with the elves, it lost troops, generals, cities and territory.

Unfortunately, they are a landlocked country. Even if the countries in the southern continent are willing to provide support, it is difficult to provide substantial help.

Until now, the war has received the greatest support from the several legions sent by the Alpha Kingdom.

Because of the strategic adjustment of the elves, when the reinforcements arrived, the battle on the front line basically came to an end.

There is no such thing as a "counterattack" to regain lost ground.

The enemy's 400,000 troops deployed along the line directly extinguished the illusions of Moxi's top leaders in counterattack.

After experiencing it personally, I realized how powerful the elf army was.

Unless the Alpha Kingdom can transfer its main force, the strength of the Moxi Principality will not be enough to fight against them.

Compared with the fierce reactions from all parties, the two countries in the Northern Continent have behaved particularly calmly in this wave of changes.

After the tragedy of the Southern Continent Allied Forces reached the Alpha Kingdom, it became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

There were millions of people killed. If it were left in a country, it would definitely be a fatal event.

Divided among multiple countries, the country that lost the most troops suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties.

For the Alpha nobles who were used to seeing big scenes, they really didn't feel much about such little battle damage.

As the war progresses, which of the Five Nations Alliance has not lost its troops and generals?

Even the kingdom's army, which swept all the way, suffered more than 300,000 casualties, of which one-third were killed in battle.

The three countries in the Central Continent that suffered the heaviest losses each had more than one million casualties, and the number of casualties started at least half a million.

Millions of civilians died in the war.

In the past, when continental wars reached this level, they were basically at an end.

The situation this time is different. The strategic goal of the human race to unify the continent is directly stated.

Once the human race is completely victorious, in the next hundred years, other races will gradually decline or even die outright.

The tragic counterattack of the dwarves opened a new chapter.

As if they were infected, the alien alliance performed more and more fiercely on the battlefield, and many chose to die together after being at a disadvantage.

On the prairie, the kingdom's army led by Hudson also ushered in a counterattack by the orcs.

Either the seal here broke and a demon popped out, or the space crack there was opened, or some evil god suddenly came.

The methods used by the orcs to threaten the human alliance back then were now used.

It's a pity that times have changed. In the early years, when encountering these guys, everyone needed to be extremely wary.

Now that there are strong men from the holy realm in the army, these evil spirits with bad minds will be killed as soon as they show up.

"Marshal, the orcs ran away again!"

Earl Gulen's words made Hudson confused.

The footprints of the orcs' activities are all over the grasslands, and it is normal for them to run away from several tribes.

The current tactics of the kingdom's army are to divide areas and then advance forward step by step to continuously compress the enemy's activity space.

It is completely normal for fish to slip through the net.

Even if the orc imperial court who was preparing to encircle and suppress them ran away, there would be no need to make a fuss.

"Your Excellency, please speak slowly, the sky will not fall!"

Hudson said nonchalantly.

"Marshal, all the orc tribes suddenly gathered and headed straight towards the Ula Mountains.

If nothing else goes wrong, they have reached an agreement with the Kingdom of God invaders and want to retreat to the mountains and forests to fight.

Once the enemy's plan succeeds, it will become more difficult for us to destroy the Orc Empire! "

Count Gulen hurriedly explained.

The living conditions in the barren land are harsh, but the living conditions of the orcs are not easy to begin with.

They were driven in once by the human coalition a few years ago, but they were not destroyed. Now let them escape over there, and they might come back in a few years.

"Count Gulen, please be patient!

The enemy is well prepared for this action. Recently, various monsters have emerged on the grassland to distract our attention.

While we were not paying attention, they first dispersed and migrated a group of tribes there. Now that the time was ripe, they suddenly gathered their troops to launch an action.

From the map, the nearest troops to them were three days away.

It was almost impossible to gather a large army to intercept them.

It was destined to be unstoppable, so let them retreat.

Without these guys, the remaining orc tribes would probably have no fighting spirit.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to end the war on the grassland as soon as possible.

We will find a way to deal with the subsequent problems in the future.

A group of stray dogs will not be able to achieve anything! "

Hudson said calmly.

In a sense, this copy of the Orcs is a blessing to him.

He was able to rise from an inconspicuous baron to his current position, all thanks to the contribution of the Orc Empire.

He was a little reluctant to end the Orc Empire in one fell swoop.

Putting these aside, Hudson had to consider how he should deal with himself in the kingdom after the war.

It is a good thing to be able to win a battle, but it is not necessarily to be too good at fighting.

"Peace is determined by the general, and the general is not allowed to see peace! ”

This kind of case is not an isolated case in any world.

The biggest advantage of a joint-stock country is that there is a bottom line. As long as you don't fight the court, you can just return to your territory and be a local emperor behind closed doors.

But this is obviously not the best choice. With Hudson's achievements, it is impossible for him to fade out of everyone's sight all of a sudden.

Even if he wants to, the military will not agree.

The current strength of the Alpha Kingdom is all due to the army.

Hudson's rapid fame on the continent is not just the natural spread of his reputation, but there are countless people behind him to help promote it.

On the surface, Hudson is in a high position because of his achievements, and there have been countless political games in secret.

Only However, Hudson did not personally participate in these political games, but was behind the scenes.

The biggest landmark event was the military reform of the Alpha Kingdom.

Before the military reform of the kingdom, he was just an ordinary commander; after the military reform was completed, the military merit faction headed by him began to control the military power of the kingdom.

Now, the tentacles of this inconspicuous emerging faction have spread all over the country.

The internal members include both old nobles and emerging nobles, and it is difficult to divide them according to traditional positioning.

The initial power was concentrated in the army, and now it has gradually spread to the local areas.

If nothing unexpected happens, most of the core forces in the court in the future will be All of them will come from this faction.

There is no way, the best talents of the Alpha Kingdom have all joined the army.

According to the tradition of the kingdom, the direct heirs of the great nobles must join the army for training.

If you want to gain more military merits, you must get close to Hudson.

Political transactions have always been made quietly. It seems that nothing has been done, but in fact everything has been done.

At least in this military resume, they are tied to Hudson.

The destruction of the Orc Empire, this outstanding achievement that is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime, must not be left unused.

As long as the war between the kingdom and the orcs is mentioned, the commander Hudson cannot be avoided.

Showing it off every now and then is fine in the short term, but over time it will be hard for Hudson not to become a thorn in the king's side.

It's okay for a monarch like Caesar IV who is soft-tempered. At most, he can curse a few words in private and the matter will be over.

If a strong monarch takes the throne and does something unpleasant, Hudson will also fight back.

It's too much trouble to directly pull a group of people together and confront the king in the court.

It's just right for the orc remnants to run away.

If the king doesn't like him one day and makes trouble, or if he doesn't like the king, he can encourage the king to brush the orc dungeon.

"Marshal means that we don't care about them for the time being? "

Count Gulun asked thoughtfully.

Being able to serve as the chief of staff, he is certainly not a political novice.

The reasons given by Hudson seem sufficient, but in fact they are untenable.

No one stipulates that the kingdom's army cannot continue to pursue the enemy if they enter the mountains.

The kingdom has a large number of troops gathered on the grassland, and it is not a problem to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops to pursue the enemy.

"Of course not!

The most important strategy of the kingdom at the moment is to occupy the grassland and turn the orc empire into history.

The several orc tribes that escaped must also be encircled and suppressed, but it depends on the actual situation. "

Hudson rejected it decisively.

The essence has not changed, but there are some things that can be done, but they must not be said publicly.

It is obvious that the core force of the Orc Empire has escaped, but in Hudson's mouth, it has directly become "several Orc tribes", and the political significance has completely changed.

The kingdom can let go of a few Orc tribes, but it cannot let go of the main force of the Orc Empire.

The current destruction of the Orc Empire is obviously a bit self-deceptive, but this is what all walks of life in the kingdom want.

The king needs the merit of destroying the Orc Empire, the officials in the court need this outstanding political achievement, and the officers and soldiers who participated in the war also need this achievement.

The early determination of the destruction of the Orc Empire means that what everyone wants can be put in the bag in advance.

If you hold on to it, then for political correctness, the kingdom must continue the war.

One year, two years, three years...

The orcs who have entered the ravines cannot be wiped out in a short period of time.

Theoretically, the enemy can be killed by time, but this cycle is too long, and the money, food and materials consumed are absolutely painful.

The most important thing is that the benefits are not proportional to the cost!

In the past, the kingdom could not only fight against the orcs out of hatred, but also to expand its territory.

After occupying the prairie, if the war continues, there will only be a pile of rotten land left.

...

Everything was as Hudson expected. After the orc royal court and the king's court fled with the main force, the resistance of the remaining orc tribes suddenly weakened a lot.

Wherever the kingdom's army went, there were surrendered soldiers everywhere.

However, whether they could surrender smoothly at this time was not only a matter of attitude and position, but also depended on their luck.

The vassal army, eager for military exploits, was already blood-thirsty at this time, and did not give them a chance to surrender.

Hudson pretended not to see this situation.

From the moment he set the rules, he knew this scene would happen.

The vassal army was actually forced into a corner.

After collecting 200,000 tribesmen, there were only 100,000 tribesmen quotas. What to do with the remaining 100,000 tribesmen?

Killing the enemy for a quota is always better than sacrificing one's own family members.

However, wandering around the prairie, the number of tribesmen inevitably continued to increase.

So that the military merits of the vassal army have never been enough since its establishment.

The naked conspiracy is in front of them, forcing them to go out to fight.

Anyway, they are killing foreigners, so there is no pressure.

As time goes by, the number of orcs on the grassland begins to decrease sharply.

It is impossible to count how many enemy troops were killed, but the size of the vassal army has grown to 1.5 million.

The number of orcs attached to the kingdom has also reached an astonishing 7 million.

If the dark elves are included, this number has exceeded 8 million.

How to deal with such a huge force has become a new problem for Hudson.

If you can't solve the problem, then transfer it.

A memorial appeared directly in the court, and the high-level officials of the kingdom, who were originally immersed in the joy of destroying the orc empire, were suddenly confused.

"Prime Minister, how does your government plan to settle these orcs attached to the kingdom?"

Caesar IV's question gave Duke Beckett a headache.

Preferential treatment is impossible!

Given the relationship between the Alpha Kingdom and the orcs, if they didn't kill them all, it would be mercy.

If preferential treatment was really given, the domestic spitting would drown him, the prime minister.

If it is not easy to resettle these orcs, they will easily become a bomb and explode one day.

If there is a choice, he would rather the kingdom's army kill all these guys.
