The King

  Chapter 189 Conflict

  The arrival of the reinforcements still caused a sensation on the front line.

   Except for the soldiers who were completely numb, most people still saw hope.

  According to the official propaganda of the Principality of Moxi, the total strength of reinforcements from various countries is as high as more than 500,000, which is almost the same as the number of troops on the front line.

  Theoretically speaking, once all the reinforcements arrive, the strength and weakness of the two sides will be reversed.

  As an insider, Hudson knows very well how false the "500,000" army in this propaganda is.

   It’s not that the neighbors don’t work hard, it’s that everyone has their own difficulties. Being able to mobilize troops to come over for reinforcements is all about taking care of the overall situation.

  The Kingdom of Alpha and the Kingdom of Warhammer are also facing the threat of orcs. It is not easy to fulfill the ally's obligation to send reinforcements, and to expect more is to embarrass others.

  A few neighbors are not much better. For example, the Principality of Orton next to it has a standing army of only 10,000 people.

   It was announced that 70,000 troops would be dispatched, but in fact, they managed to scrape together 30,000 reinforcements.

  The neighboring country of Ruilin performed even better. Soon after receiving the request for help, it announced the mobilization of the whole country, calling for the support of the whole country.

  Mobilization is real, and support is also available. Just listen to the political slogan of national power.

   It was only an army of 10,000 people, but it was still sent out. Although due to various reasons, the efficiency has slowed down a little bit, the reinforcements have now arrived at the border.

   As of now, the Terran nations in the northern region have basically announced national mobilization and promised to send reinforcements to the Principality of Moxi.

  Theoretically speaking, with the strength of a group of people and countries in the northern region, it is absolutely possible to fight a decisive battle with the orcs.

   But the problem is that this is not an addition problem of 1+1=2. If there are too many people, there will be more problems. A group of countries are calling for mobilization and support, but few are really willing to contribute.

   One by one the slogans were shouted earth-shatteringly, and in the end they were put into action. They were all preserving their strength and imagining that others would contribute.

  According to the current situation, it is a miracle that half of the 500,000 reinforcements advertised by various countries can be in place.

   It's not that everyone doesn't understand the principle of cold lips and teeth, but the problem is that they can't help themselves.

   Rushed forward in a daze, and wiped out all his family assets. Will he be able to survive the rest of his life?

  …

   In the orc camp, the five royal families gathered together.

  Since the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor suggested playing with a big one, everyone's expressions became serious.

   Feint and strong attack are not the same concept.

  According to the previous plan, mainly through the siege of Dapes City, to lure the main force of the Principality of Moxi to come out for a decisive battle.

  Even if the plan fails, at most some cannon fodder troops will be lost.

  But if it is changed to storming the city of Dapace, that is another matter.

   Those who can sit here are not naive, and no one will take it for granted that the capital of the Mosi people is completely unarmed.

  Aside from other things, the private army of the princes and nobles in Guangcheng cannot be captured in a short while.

  Not to mention there are city guards, palace guards, mage colleges, chambers of commerce...

   At the juncture of life and death, the human race never lacks blood and courage, and the city of Dapace can definitely temporarily pull tens of thousands of young and strong people to the city.

  "The previous actions have already aroused the vigilance of the Moxi people. Now the defenders on their border have stepped up their guard.

   Once our people cross the line, they will immediately light up the smoke.

  With a large army, it is almost impossible to sneak in secretly.

  From the front line to the city of Pest, the journey in the middle is more than two hundred miles. Once everyone crosses the line, it is only a matter of time before they are exposed.

  If you want to catch them by surprise, unless all cavalry or air troops are dispatched, it will be difficult to work. "

  Eagle Emperor said expressionlessly.

   From his expression, it can be seen that he has no interest in attacking Da Pest City.

   It is easy to dispatch cavalry and air force. The problem is, who will be responsible for the next siege after launching a sneak attack?

   Never let the precious cavalry and airmen take up arms and exchange lives with the enemy defenders!

  If the city defense cannot be captured immediately, it will turn into a strong attack next.

  The city of Terence in front of us has not been taken down for many days of continuous attack, so how can we guarantee that the city of Dapac will be defeated in one battle.

   "It is difficult to storm Dapace, so we should besiege it. It seems dangerous to go deep alone, but as long as we change our thinking, the situation will change.

  The principality of Moxi is flat, and the territory is most suitable for cavalry to gallop. As long as we want, we can completely burn the flames of war to their hinterland.

   Counting the days, their autumn harvest is about to begin. The fields are full of wheat waves, and the problem of food can be replenished on the spot.

   While attacking the city of Dapes, they divided up their troops and plundered all directions, destroying the enemy's autumn harvest. As long as the enemy's logistics are destroyed, it is only a matter of time before the enemy army collapses.

  To be on the safe side, I suggest that you call in some of the main force to watch the Mosi defenders in Terence City. "

  The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor slowly suggested.

  Worried about being cut off from the back, it's just because there are too few elite troops in hand. If there are a few more, it is completely possible to suppress the enemy troops on the front line and launch an attack at the same time.

  …

  Emerald Palace, after receiving the good news from the Principality of Moxi, Caesar III was all red.

   It's not easy. After fighting for so long, there is finally a clean victory.

  Especially this victory was accomplished by the army commanded by the crown prince, so it will give him even more face.

   As for the specific details of the battle, that is not important at all.

  The Mosi people can use it for publicity, and so can the Alpha Kingdom.

  No matter how much moisture there is in the record, the battle scenes recorded by the Photo Stone can never be faked.

  The crown prince is not on the front line. He is a proper general who sits hundreds of miles away and strategizes.

  It was originally intended to be gilded for prestige, so we can't really let the crown prince go to the front line, right?

  The orcs never followed the rules. If the crown prince died on the front line, it would be a tragedy.

   When I feel better, I can do everything happily.

   "Is the situation on the side of the Moxi people stable now?"

   Caesar III asked concerned.

   As a qualified king, he was not blinded by a victory.

   The "Yueluowan Great Victory" seems to have achieved a lot, but for the huge orc empire, it actually only plucked a few hairs.

  The real meaning is not how many enemies are killed, but to boost morale.

   "Your Majesty, the internal problems of the Principality of Moxi may be bigger than we expected.

   Perhaps because they have not experienced the pain of subjugation and genocide, there is still a gap between the central government of the Principality of Moxi and the local powerful nobles.

  There is peace on the surface, but secretly they are still fighting non-stop. The orc army has crossed the border and penetrated deeply. So far, no one has been found out.

   But generally speaking, the situation is still developing for the better.

   Counting the days, the First Legion of the Expeditionary Army should have arrived in Terence City by now, and the remaining legions have also entered the Principality of Moxi one after another.

  The reinforcements from the Principality of Orton have also entered the Principality of Moxi recently, and the reinforcements from the Principality of Fick and the Earl of Ruilin will also arrive in the near future.

   With so many troops added, it shouldn't be a big problem to stabilize the defense line.

  The most worrying thing is their logistics.

  Suddenly increased more than a dozen or two hundred thousand troops, and the consumption of food and grass is not a small sum.

  Maybe the Principality of Moxi has a strong family and can support it financially, but how to transport things to the front line is a big problem. "

  The Grand Duke of Newfoundland said with deep emotion.

  Alpha Kingdom has accumulated so much experience, in order to raise food and supplies, there are still many problems.

  This is the first time the Principality of Moxi has encountered such a thing. Even if there is no shortage of money, food and materials, coordinating the transportation work is still a hassle.

   If the army is in place, but the logistics don't catch up in time, then it will be a lot of fun.

   "Let Chris IX slowly trouble himself with these problems!

  They also made preparations before the war. The front-line reserves can last for a few months, and there should be no accidents in the short term. "

  Caesar III said indifferently.

  Allies are used to block knives. Since the orcs dispersed part of their firepower to the Principality of Moxi, life in the Alpha Kingdom has been much easier.

  In recent days, there has been basically no news of the fall of the front-line fortress. Occasionally, the defenders would go out to fight wildly, killing a few orcs for fun.

  For the Alpha Kingdom, the longer the good times last, the better, and it is best to delay until the end of the war.

   "Your Majesty, there is a piece of news that you may want to prepare for.

  According to the information we have collected, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Anne of the Principality of Moxi is somewhat unusual. "

   Foreign Minister Earl Francis reminded.

  The marriage of the royal family is not only a matter of the two families, but also a matter of the two countries.

  Especially for the crown prince who is the heir to the throne, marriage needs to be more cautious.

   This relationship has just begun, and it was discovered by the dispatched officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and reported back along the way.

   "When the children grow up, we, the parents, can't help them. Let them pursue happiness by themselves!"

  Caesar III pretended to be hearty and said.

  Those who didn’t know thought he was more open-minded, but in fact it was because this well-matched marriage was in the interests of the kingdom.

  If the target pursued by the crown prince is not some Princess Moxi, but a singer, I am afraid he will be blown up immediately.

  In the continent of Aslante, if you want to "pursue happiness", there is also a threshold.

  …

  The prelude to the publicity kicked off, and Hudson, the front-line commander, became famous along with the crown prince.

  Especially in the southeast province, it caused the most commotion.

  I have heard of Hudson's reputation for a long time, but this record is too good.

  Looking at the official document sent by Wangdu, many people were stunned.

  Especially the Viscount Cayo, who was shocked the most.

   Others don't know what the Wrightshire Legion is, so can his neighbor still not know?

   Perhaps the nobles in Wright County worked harder when training soldiers, but there is still a long way to go to say they are elite.

  He was skeptical when he originally went out with the name of an elite.

  In his opinion, the real elite is Hudson's private army, and the rest of the noble troops are the same.

   It's just that I'm jealous of Hudson, and it doesn't involve my own interests, so I didn't expose it at the expense of others.

   As a result, after going out for a walk, the Wrightshire Army has not only become a true elite, but also has a record.

  Looking at the battle scene on the photo stone, Viscount Cayo was greatly shocked. At this moment, he had to admit that the Wrightshire Army could really fight.

  Thinking of this, he felt depressed for a while.

  Perhaps others will suspect that the overall military quality of the nobles in Wright County is high, which is why they have trained such an elite army.

   But he knew in his heart that the nobles in Wright and Wyton counties were all the same. The overall quality is not exactly the same, but the composition is surprisingly consistent.

  Looking at the soldiers trained by others, and then at the soldiers trained by himself, at this moment he fell into deep self-doubt.

  Catch up?

   This unreliable idea was just born, but he dismissed it.

  Ordinary people should not compare with geniuses.

  As early as the days of studying at the Magic Academy, he accepted the fact that he was an ordinary person.

   It's just that after he came back to inherit the title, he received more praise and gradually lost himself.

   It wasn't until I encountered several setbacks later that I slowly returned to rationality and rediscovered myself.

  Put down the photo stone, Kayo sighed helplessly.

  He knew that from now on, the guy who was once regarded as a competitor would become an existence he looked up to.

   Even if you have a higher background, it is useless.

   Troubled times are the best time to break the hierarchy, everything is possible here.

   Vaguely, he has seen the birth of a legend.

  At this moment, he suddenly worried about the fate of the Dalton family.

  …

   "What's going on here, why is there moldy food in the barracks?"

   Hudson asked almost roaring.

  Looking at that expression, it seems that he wants to eat people. The quartermaster was so frightened that he backed away again and again, unable to speak for a while.

  You must know that no matter where they go, these quartermasters have always been offered by others, and they have never been treated like this.

  Dare to make a fuss, do you still want military supplies?

  Like Hudson, who doesn't understand the rules and doesn't even prepare a gift, he can only receive moldy food.

  After accepting the beating, Lengtouqing will slowly accept the reality and follow their rules.

   It's just that this time, it seems a little different. The person in front of him has no intention of discussing it at all, and will turn his face as soon as he comes up.

   Seemingly remembering that this is his territory, the quartermaster who came back to his senses mustered up the courage to step forward and said:

   "Your Excellency, maybe it's raining and moldy!

   This is all an accident, and there is nothing we can do about it.

  The food is like this now, you should take it quickly, don't waste your time here! "

   Hearing this, Hudson smiled slightly.

  If he is a local nobleman of the Principality of Moxi, he will really worry about encountering a quartermaster who is going up and down.

   "Bear Stearns, someone has deducted your rations, or else use them as a snack pad for your stomach!"

   As soon as the words fell, a five-meter-tall giant bear appeared in front of him, grinning hoarsely at the quartermaster in front of him.

   "What are you doing? Guards, guards..."

   No matter how the quartermaster shouted, no one acted.

  Under the shroud of the gravity field, the surrounding soldiers were all overwhelmed, let alone moved.

   Realizing that the kick hit the iron plate, the quartermaster who collapsed on the ground hurriedly said: "Don't let your bear come over, everything is negotiable..."
