The King

  Chapter 186 follow-up

  The state machinery is running, and the propaganda effect is just now.

  Especially when it involves a group of second-generation children, when the opportunity comes for the younger generation to show their faces, how can the princes and nobles not contribute their strength.

  The dubbed photo stone quickly spread in the city of Da Pest. Countless people were celebrating the victory. The joy of victory in the war dispelled the oppressive atmosphere in the air.

  Because the battle took place in Yueluowan, the unexpected encounter also gained a famous name "Yueluowan Victory".

  In order to boost morale, the official of the Principality of Moxi even directly announced that this is a turning point in the war between the human race and the orcs.

   It can be called a "turning battle", and Hudson's battle report seems a bit petty.

   Need pictures as evidence, the number of beheadings has not increased much, but the number of orc troops encountered has directly expanded to 100,000.

   After defeating an army of 100,000 orcs and beheading more than 10,000 heads, the weight of the "great victory" instantly changed.

  Any battle that defeats the enemy's 100,000 troops will be recorded in the annals of history.

  The Principality of Moxi needs this victory, the second-generation family needs this victory, and Prince Caesar also needs this victory.

   Blow, but blow vigorously into the air.

  With the joint efforts of all parties, an ordinary encounter was quickly exaggerated into an "epic victory".

  Hudson, who was originally only a little famous, became famous in the first battle, and he seems to be a rising "star star".

  …

   Hudson, who didn't know that he was passively famous, was worrying about the heavy rain outside at the moment.

  Since the war that day began, heavy rain has been falling for three consecutive days. Even if it turns sunny occasionally, the muddy road is not suitable for the army to advance.

  Watching the soldiers dig pits in the rain to dispose of the corpses, Hudson was also very helpless. What was once a fire, now has to be buried.

  The rain-soaked corpse decays at an unusually fast rate.

  In order to avoid the plague, only the most primitive method can be adopted.

   Originally wanted Bear Stearns to help dig a hole, but he couldn't bear the resentful eyes of Uncle Xiong, so he had to give up in the end.

  The main reason why this war was won so easily is that the two sides have unequal information.

  If the orcs had known about the existence of the Earth Bear in advance, they wouldn't have divided up their forces foolishly, and the battle still had to be fought.

  How long the news can be concealed counts as long as it lasts, and as many people as can be deceived to death count as one.

  With the relationship between the five royal families of the orcs, if this kind of thing happened, everyone would just cover it up tightly.

   Perhaps some of the orcs who escaped realized that something was wrong, but the probability of being able to directly associate it with the Earth Bear is still not high.

   Unless there is a traitor betrayed by the race, the existence of Bear Stearns will not spread among the orcs in the short term.

  Thinking of the eagle scouts that appeared above him from time to time, Hudson felt that it was better for Bear Stearns to show less.

   Working hard in the rain, although a little tired, has advantages and disadvantages.

   In the past few days, Master Hudson has had enough meat. The orc corpses need to be disposed of, but it does not affect everyone's consumption of war beast corpses.

  In order to preserve the meat delivered to the door, the camp was smoky for several days.

  Unprofessional smoking and roasting techniques filled the camp with various smells, forcing Hudson to release magic to block the smell from entering his tent.

  These are minor problems. For soldiers at the bottom of society, as long as they can eat meat, a little taste is nothing at all.

  Affected by the continuous heavy rain, the marching date was passively delayed, and there was only one day left before the final deadline. Hudson didn't panic about this little problem.

   If there is no such encounter, then there is no other way, and we have to rush to the front line even in the rain.

  Military orders are like a mountain, even if it is a transnational operation, the basic rules of the game must still be followed.

  It's different now, a sentence of "deal with the battlefield" is enough.

   It took a long time to process the corpse, which also proved the brilliant results of this war from the side.

   Hudson did not forget to ask someone to take a picture of the scene of busy handling the corpse in front of him. These are good promotional materials, which can prove that he is a responsible nobleman.

   If these corpses are not disposed of properly, if a plague is triggered, the consequences will be serious.

  For the fragile Principality of Moxi, it cannot withstand any turmoil now, let alone a terrible plague.

  …

  In a camp full of wolf-headed flags, an old man was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, bowing his head and waiting for the final judgment of fate.

   "Claudine, you have been with me for so many years, and you have made great contributions to the imperial court.

  But for so many years, you have been able to complete the task cautiously, why do you still make such mistakes in your later years? "

  After hearing the words of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, Claudine's body trembled even more.

  Orcs don’t believe in tears, all losers must pay for their own failures.

  Leading the army into the hinterland of the Principality of Moxi this time, not only failed to complete the task assigned by the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, but also ended up with annihilation of the entire army.

   Committing such a serious crime, it cannot be justified without a decent explanation.

   "Your Majesty, this complete failure was an accident. No one thought that the Alpha Kingdom would send the most elite troops here.

  It’s all those **** Eagles who didn’t deliver the information on time, and we accidentally encountered the enemy.

  Although our soldiers are very brave, they are still unable to hold on in the face of the enemy's absolute strength.

  But Your Majesty can rest assured that we have not shamed the royal family. On the battlefield, everyone was very brave.

  If I didn’t want to pass the news back, I would fight to the death and choose to wash it away with blood...”

   Claudine struggled hard.

  In order to reduce the punishment for himself, he also went all out. On the one hand, he exaggerated the strength of the Wright County Army, and on the other hand, he blamed the Eagles.

   It's just that these are not enough, excuses are just excuses after all, and they must be approved by the wolf emperor in front of them.

  Looking at the old man indifferently, the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor who was sitting above came down, and said in a cold tone: "Okay, I already know everything.

  Don't say I'm unfeeling, I won't leave you a chance. After causing such a big disaster, there must be an explanation for all parties.

   Otherwise, everyone will follow suit in the future. Wouldn't our Silver Moon Wolf Clan go into decline?

  As Ni said, humiliation can only be washed away with blood. After a few days of rest, go to the crime camp to report! "

  After hearing the words of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, Claudine froze. Blood washes away shame, that's just talk.

  If he really wanted to go all out, he wouldn't run back. He stayed directly to fight against the human army, and finally died on the battlefield with his soldiers.

  Orcs advocate blood, and there is no shame in dying on the battlefield. Those who shed blood on the battlefield are all warriors, and no one will cling to the fault of the dead.

   "Thanks, Your Majesty!"

   Claudine replied with a trembling voice.

   There has always been a saying in the Yinyue Wolf Clan: Once you enter the "crime camp", life and death are beyond your control.

  Since it is necessary to use blood to atone for sin, it is natural to undertake the most bitter and dangerous task. Therefore, the casualty rate of officers and soldiers in the "crime camp" has remained high.

  It is common to suffer heavy losses. If the war situation is in trouble, it is nothing new for the criminal camp to be destroyed.

  No matter how dangerous the crime camp is, it is better than directly investigating the responsibility for the defeat. If luck is good enough, after ten battles, if you are still alive, you will be able to come out.

  No time to pay attention to the complicated thoughts of his subordinates. Being able to show mercy outside the law without directly chopping off Claudine's head, the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor felt that he was enough.

   Losing 10,000 to 20,000 troops, the Silver Moon Wolf Clan can afford it. The problem is that the original plan failed.

  According to the agreement, the five royal families sent troops together to cross the enemy's defense line, detour into the rear and storm the capital of the Principality of Moxi.

  The plan is very good, but the risk is also very high. This kind of high-risk work, everyone is reluctant to take risks with their main force.

   The team led by Claudine is the best example. Because I met the wrong person at the wrong time, I ended up with a near-annihilated end.

  The team that set off together is far more than just this one team. But the operation has just begun, and there is a lack of one-fifth of the strength of the Yinyue Wolf Clan, so everyone can only withdraw passively.

  If you want to force the main force of the enemy to come out of the fortress for a decisive battle, you must first be able to besiege the city of Dapace.

   Don't even touch the city of Da Pest, and end up with annihilation first, that would be a tragedy.

  Cannon fodder troops are also an important force on the battlefield. If one hundred thousand and eighty thousand were accompanied in one go, the five imperial courts would also feel pain.

   Now it is not only for consumption, but more importantly, to realize their strategic plan to weaken the human race and strengthen themselves.

   During the months of hard fighting against the Alpha Kingdom, they killed tens of thousands of defenders, and their own casualties were only a few hundred thousand.

   Losing a hundred thousand troops just for a plan that doesn't know whether it will succeed or fail, no matter how strong the family is, it can't stand such a toss.

   It can be said that the sudden encounter made the five royal families of the orcs somewhat confused. For a while, the strength of the human race was predicted, and there was another disagreement.

  Since the Alpha Kingdom was able to mobilize a main army to support its allies in the bitter battle, who can guarantee that the Principality of Moxi will not have the main force to stay in the capital?

   It doesn't take much, just a main army and a group of miscellaneous soldiers can keep the army they sent out.

  If there are two main armies and three or four ordinary armies, a counterattack can be organized. There is no need to call back troops from the front line to help them out, and they can be driven out.

  As the Yinyue wolf clan that led to the bankruptcy of the plan, they were suddenly pushed to the forefront, and various criticisms followed.

  Deep in his heart, the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor was also secretly thinking about whether or not he should send his elite to take a risk.

   Thanks to the sudden heavy rain, which covered up the traces of the army's retreat, their strategic plan was not really exposed.

  The army that was only lost by the Silver Moon Wolf Clan would at most be considered to have been sent there to make trouble. After all, an army of 20,000 orcs is not qualified to attack the city of Dapace.

  As long as the adventure plan is successful, the previous failures are not a problem. Not only will all the criticism disappear without a trace, but a lot of prestige can also be gained.

   Once the plan fails, the consequences will be very serious. Although the elites of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan are not as rare as Beamon, they are not that many.

  If you are accidentally bitten by the enemy and lose tens of thousands of people at once, you will also feel pain.

  What will happen in the future, no one knows. If you suffer heavy losses in the adventure at this moment, and then unfortunately suffer heavy losses, you will not have a good life in the future.

  The Orc Empire has never been peaceful. If too many main forces are lost on the battlefield, the Silver Moon Wolf Clan's voice in the five imperial courts will inevitably decline significantly.

   If you are unlucky, you may be kicked off the throne of the royal family and lose the power to control your own destiny.

   It would be perfect if the other four royal families could be mobilized to dispatch elites to carry out this adventure plan together.

   Vaguely, the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor felt that he seemed to be doing it again.

  Adventures are not terrible, and heavy losses are not terrible. The terrible thing is that their family lost, but others did not.

  Under the ebb and flow, the balance is broken, and that is the beginning of the disaster.

  …

  Dapest City, after the ardent publicity, a new problem was placed in front of everyone.

   "Epic Victory" was blown out, and rewards became a big problem. Especially when joint operations between the two countries are involved, there are more issues to consider.

  At this moment, Chris IX suddenly understood why the treatment of so many epic heroes in history did not match their own merits.

   Perhaps it wasn't just because of jealousy that they deliberately lowered their rewards, but a large part of their outstanding achievements were blown out.

   This is not a random guess. There are too many similarities between what is recorded in the history books and what is happening now.

  Thinking of the villains and dignitaries who have been criticized for countless years, Chris IX trembled. He didn't want to get his name in life and after because of a political propaganda.

   "Prime Minister, do you have any suggestions for rewarding the heroes?"

  A king who can’t throw blame is definitely not a good king.

   Can’t break the rules, give rewards that exceed the actual military exploits, and don’t want to be mistreated by future generations, so Chris IX will naturally blame him.

   "Your Majesty, my second son is also on the list of meritorious officials. I need to avoid suspicion regarding the reward."

   Prime Minister Herceg said with a smile.

   "Avoid suspicion", this reason is really perfect. Anyone who listens can only praise the prime minister for his integrity.

   Before Chris IX could speak, a bunch of princes and nobles came out and said: their children are on the list of heroes, and they need to avoid suspicion.

  Seeing this scene, Chris IX, who was originally worried, suddenly lit up.

  According to normal operations, lowering the rewards for the heroes will definitely cause criticism among the people.

  But when it comes to the younger generations of princes and nobles, the situation will be different if they are pressured by their parents and elders.

   "Don't say too much, regarding the matter of awarding meritorious officials, there must be a result today.

  I will leave this matter to you. As long as everyone does it fairly and strictly, I believe no one will criticize it. "
