The King

  Chapter 182 Encountering the Enemy

   It was decided to send troops, but it was delayed until three days later.

   It's not that Hudson is deliberately delaying, the main reason is that the army of the principality of Moxi is not ready.

  Looking at the efficiency, you can tell that it has nothing to do with the speed of soldiers and speed.

   Fighting in a foreign country without the cooperation of the local army is difficult to operate.

  Moxi people are not in a hurry, so Hudson naturally won't worry about them.

  After such a move, he figured out why the Fort August defense line fell so quickly.

   It's not that the officers and soldiers on the front line are not strong enough, it's just that the dull bureaucracy has killed them.

  Looking at the speed of this reaction, you can tell that the bureaucrats of the Principality of Moxi are still at the level of civil wars among the human nations.

   But the problem is that the orcs never talk about martial arts, and they will not let them get ready at all, so they will attack slowly.

   Bathed in the morning light, the army finally embarked on the journey.

   All the high-level officials of the Principality of Moxi saw him off in person, and the etiquette was impeccable.

  Crown Prince Caesar also appeared in the team. Compared with the unhappy breakup a few days ago, his mental state has now been adjusted.

  Looking at the happy expression on his face, Hudson knew that he had a good time in the past few days.

   Of course, Hudson is also very happy now. Before the army set off, the Moxi people also offered a generous gift.

  From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with bureaucracy. At least in terms of human relationships, be sure.

  With short hands, Hudson was very cooperative on the march.

  No matter how many miles the army of the Principality of Moxi travels every day, the Wright County Army will follow as many miles as possible, and will never delay time.

  …

  In the orc camp, a large number of troops gathered, and clusters of flags were flying all over the sky. The scene was very spectacular.

  There are too many people and too many things. An empire ruled by the five royal families has never had anything to do with unity.

   When dealing with the human race, the five royal families are allies. In normal times, everyone is a competitor.

   Due to the threat of the human race, the overlord of the continent, the five royal families of the orcs were able to sit together and discuss issues.

  If there is no external threat, they can do it themselves.

  The end of the orc continent's hegemony is half due to the human race, and half is the result of their internal struggle.

  The five royal families have been arguing for a month about the choice of the main attack direction, but they are still deadlocked.

  The Lion Clan and the Yinyue Wolf Clan advocated continuing to attack the Principality of Moxi, while the Beamon and Eagle Clan proposed to reverse their direction and attack the Kingdom of Warhammer, and the Bear Clan said that both sides were fine.

  Both sides have their own reasons, and neither can convince the other.

  As the army continues to gather, the direction of attack has not yet been determined, and the five royal families are also a little anxious.

   "We can't drag it on any longer!

  According to the information we have collected, the reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom have entered the Principality of Moxi and are about to arrive at the front line.

  Reinforcements from other human nations are also starting one after another. In the next month, the Principality of Moxi will be able to receive reinforcements from at least five countries.

  The Terran Alliance meeting is coming soon. If we don’t quickly make a breakthrough on the battlefield and attract all ethnic groups in the mainland to join this war, we will be driven back in despair! "

   Yingrenhuang said indifferently.

  Orcs respect the strong.

   Taking the lead in making a breakthrough in the Principality of Moxi, and achieving the biggest record since the war began, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced his right to speak.

  Seeing that the strategic advantage he had finally obtained was disappearing in the quarrel, Yingrenhuang's anger also rose.

   "Eagle Emperor doesn't have to worry, we all know the efficiency of the Terran Alliance meeting, and it won't take a year or so to get results.

  If the Human Race Alliance does not fully intervene, the few Human Race countries in the Northland are not our opponents at all.

   Regardless of the countries sending reinforcements to the Principality of Moxi, they are actually a bunch of low-class people.

  Looking at the reaction of the Alpha Kingdom, they are not optimistic that their allies can block our soldiers.

   It seems that reinforcements were dispatched immediately, but they also put a lot of energy on the construction of a new line of defense.

   Numerous wars in the past have proved that it is unrealistic to pull the human race from the overlord of the mainland at once. The best way is to gradually erode their territory.

  The Principality of Moxi is flat, and it is indeed easy to take it down, but it is also easy for the human race to take it back.

  Located between the Kingdom of Alpha and the Kingdom of Warhammer, the human race would not tolerate losing such a strategic location.

   In contrast, the Warhammer Kingdom next door is different.

  The north is a world of ice and snow, only some declining races occupy it, and it is completely useless.

   There are only a few small human kingdoms to the west. It is estimated that before we can fight there, the gang of elves will take them down first.

   Taking down the Kingdom of Warhammer, the Pingchuan Principality of Moxi is still in our pocket.

   At that time, we can completely spend time with the human race in the Principality of Moxi, and wait and see the changes in the situation on the mainland before making the next decision.

  If the various tribes join in, we will continue the war; if the situation becomes corrupt, then we will abandon the Principality of Moxi and stick to the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom.

   After digesting the results of the battle, the next war will continue to settle with the human race. "

   Crown Prince Alex calmly analyzed.

  In the last war, the Orc Empire won some northern provinces of the Alpha Kingdom, and everyone got a bonus.

  After so many years of development, the actual strength of the Orc Empire has increased by 10-20% compared to before the last war.

   This number may not seem large, but for a race struggling to survive in the cracks, any increase in strength is of great significance.

   Realizing the benefits of cannibalization, the Beamon clan's concept has also changed. Instead of seeking to destroy the hegemony of the human race in World War I, they have turned to advocating the cannibalization strategy.

   "Alex, you think too well. The human race is not stupid, how can they watch us continue to encroach on their territory and do nothing?

   It was an accident last time, but this kind of accident will never happen often.

  If we win the Warhammer Kingdom, the Terran Alliance will definitely counterattack at all costs.

   I'm afraid not to mention defending the Warhammer Kingdom, even the land we occupy now will lose a lot.

  If you want to keep the loot, you have to injure the human race so hard that they have no time to take care of us.

  The top priority is to destroy the Principality of Moxi as soon as possible, sweep away a bunch of small countries behind them, and then turn around and destroy the Kingdom of Alpha and the Kingdom of Warhammer.

  As long as our speed is fast enough, it is entirely possible to complete most of the strategies before the arrival of human reinforcements.

   What's more, the enemies of the human race are all over the continent. Only when there are major changes in the north, the various races will not be idle.

  When the time comes, the entire continent will be in chaos, and the Terran Alliance might not even have the energy to recruit reinforcements!"

  The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor retorted.

  As a radical among the orcs, he didn't want to give up halfway.

   Finally gained the strategic initiative. If the human race is not ruthlessly slaughtered, the next time is unknown.

  In his opinion, the Eagle Emperor is a natural choice. Accustomed to playing tricks secretly, he dare not confront the human race head-on.

  Alex's choice is even simpler. In the last war, Emperor Bimon's encroachment plan was implemented.

  As the crown prince, if he overthrows his own father's strategy, wouldn't he feel that his position is too stable and want to find excitement?

   "Everyone, don't care about the strategy, you have to fight it out.

  In my opinion, it is better to tear through the defense line of the Principality of Moxi first and annihilate their main force.

   After solving this part of the enemy, whether it is to destroy the Principality of Moxie, or to turn around and attack the Kingdom of Warhammer, it will become easier. "

   Xiong Renhuang said casually.

  Looking at that lazy appearance, it doesn't look like an emperor at all, but more like a lazy bear.

   He doesn't have the ability to adjust the conflict between the two sides. Come up with a better strategy, the same can not be done.

  The only thing he is good at is making peace with each other, jumping out at critical moments to ease the conflict between the two parties.

   "Although the Terence defense line of the Principality of Moxi is not as good as the Augustsburg defense line, they are now stationed with heavy troops, and it is not easy to take it down.

   Unless we take a risk, cross their fortress and lead an army to attack the city of Dapace, forcing them to call out the main force for a decisive battle! "

  The Lion King on the side said with a sneer.

  The border defense line of the Principality of Moxi also stretches for hundreds of miles. Naturally, such a long distance cannot be all fortresses.

  In most areas, only city walls were built. Only important passes and strategic locations have built strong fortresses.

  As for other areas, a castle is only set up within five to ten miles.

   The defensive power can only be considered average, and it is okay to block a small group of orcs. It is only a matter of time before the army falls.

  Theoretically speaking, as long as the orc army is willing, they can break through the defense line at any time.

   But the problem is that the fortress on the only road has not been captured, and the logistics may be cut off at any time.

   Use war to support war, just listen to it. If you really fight, you will find that the spoils of war are far from keeping up with the consumption.

  Even if the orcs are not picky eaters, the consumption of more than 600,000 troops cannot be easily satisfied.

   Even if food is not considered, some necessary supplies are also indispensable.

  Sneak attack, which is based on the fact that the enemy is not prepared.

  Moxi's army along the way is not dead. The orc army broke through and entered. This kind of news will definitely be passed back as soon as possible.

  A well-prepared city cannot be taken down in three to five days.

   In the face of life and death, nobles and bureaucrats can also work hard. The noble lord who seems to have a big belly can also kill people with a knife.

  Relying on the perfect city defense fortifications, coupled with various magical black technologies, the price to be paid for storming the city of Dapace is definitely not small.

  Quick battle and quick decision is purely a joke.

  Forcing the main force of the Principality of Moxi to come out of the fortress for a decisive battle, it was completely a gamble on luck.

   Not only do you have to bet on the high-level officials of the principality to make wrong decisions, but you also have to bet that the nobles and generals on the front line are all good boys and will obey the principality's orders 100%.

  …

  Without the oil bottle, Hudson only felt relaxed when he led the army to gallop on the land of the Principality of Moxi.

  It's a pity that there are more followers behind him.

   Now he finally understood why Prime Minister Herceg wanted to make friends with him. It was his son who led Moxi's army this time.

  Looking at the performance of Moxi's army, you can tell that this is another noble private army put together improvised.

   Except for a small number of soldiers who are elite, most of them are mobs. The visual training time shall not exceed three months.

  Soldiers who didn't even complete basic military training were also sent to the battlefield.

  The quality of soldiers has dropped to this point, which is enough to prove how hard the Principality of Moxi is resisting.

   Just defending the city, it seems that the problem is not too big. It's nothing more than exchanging lives for lives. The three northern countries are now playing with orcs to exchange lives.

  Smart people are different. Knowing that the front line is full of dangers, they arranged their children to a safe area early.

  Compared with the local army, which is responsible for defending the territory, the guest army undoubtedly has a much higher degree of freedom, and they can escape when they encounter danger.

   Especially with a "master" like Hudson, the survivability on the battlefield is much higher.

   Taking a group of second-generation children to the battlefield, Hudson can only lament that being too famous is not a good thing.

   With so many people staring at him, it is inconvenient to do anything. In case of a big defeat, resulting in the death of a large number of second-generation children, even the guest army would not be able to bear it.

  The only advantage is that the possibility of being reduced to cannon fodder is greatly reduced.

  Involving so many rich and powerful children, when assigning tasks, don't mention special care, at least they won't receive tasks of ten deaths and no lives.

  Of course, the most important thing is that Hudson hinted at the Mosi people with practical actions: the mission of sending death will not be done.

   The fight with Crown Prince Caesar was not for nothing. On the territory of the Mosi people, the quarrel of the day was naturally passed on to the ears of these dignitaries.

  A guest army who can fight but is not very obedient. While making everyone helpless, it also made some smart people see a different kind of opportunity.

  Children who need to be specially arranged by their parents, their personal abilities are naturally not that strong. The real elite children have long served in the army and devoted themselves to the battle of defending their home and country.

  The rest of the children are all good and bad. It is impossible for them to go to the battlefield.

  Unfortunately reduced to a nanny, Hudson became more and more cautious. Looking into the distance, he immediately ordered:

   "Send the order, and half of the heavy armored infantry will put on the armor and advance. The horses will be sent out for thirty miles to investigate the enemy's situation, and pay close attention to all the strange movements around them."

   Be careful there is no big mistake. Although the possibility of a large orc army crossing the defense line and driving straight in without being detected is very low, it does not mean that there is no possibility.

  In case of an encounter, you will suffer a big loss if you are not prepared.

   As soon as the voice fell to the ground, a familiar voice came from behind.

   "Viscount Hudson, you are too cautious. This is the hinterland of the principality, and there are still a hundred miles away from the front line. Even if you encounter an orc army, there will only be a small group of miscellaneous soldiers who accidentally broke in.

  If a large group breaks through and enters, it is impossible for the defenders on the front line not to send back information. With the strength of your army, there is no need to worry at all! "

  Glaring at the fat man behind him, Hudson replied angrily: "Viscount Raquel, we are going to fight, not go on an outing.

  Any negligence may bring huge losses to the troops. Other actions can be lost, but don't forget that we only have one life.

  If it falls into the hands of orcs, what will happen to you? You don’t want to experience it even if you think about it! "

  While speaking, a picture of a fat man falling into the hands of the orcs and tied to a barbecue grill appeared in Hudson's mind, and the two soldiers couldn't lift it no matter what.

  He weighs more than 500 pounds, and he is full of fat as far as he can see. It is definitely the best food for orcs.

   "Report!"

  The sound suddenly sounded, and the marching team silently gave way to a road, letting Tan Ma run wildly on the road.

   "Report to the head of the army, the traces of the orc army were found 30 miles ahead, and the exact number is still in the process of ascertaining."

   Hearing the bad news, Hudson was almost shocked. Raquel's crow's mouth said just now that he would not collide with the orc army, but he ran into it so quickly.

   I can't take it anymore, that's it for today, don't wait.
