The King

  Chapter 284 Half a year later

   After the skirmish, Blake settled down a lot. Without the giant of the Holy See to take the lead in doing things, the internal conflicts in the alliance have been reduced a lot at once.

  Everyone is winking, and they know very well that the big forces above have stopped making trouble. If they make troubles at this time, they will set themselves on fire.

  If you unfortunately become the focus of the big power game, then you have to passively stand in line. In a short period of time, there may be no troubles, but it will be hard to say when the war is over.

   There are not too many forces that are declining due to standing on the wrong team in the history of the human race. There are many lessons learned from the past, so it is natural to learn lessons.

  The Holy See settled down, but Hudson was dumbfounded. Originally thought that Blake came here to find fault with preparations, but now it seems that it was purely on a whim.

   Vaguely, he realized that he seemed to have tricked the Holy See again. Back then, in order to sell the "Blood Moon Horn" for a good price, he made a cameo appearance as the great magister of the undead, but he didn't expect the people in the Holy See to really believe it.

  Thinking about it is also speechless. For such an important matter, I don’t know how to verify it before launching it.

   However, with his current status, it seems that the Holy See is also difficult to verify. Unless it is during a gathering, it is difficult for people in the Holy See to get close to him in normal times.

   For some reason, Hudson always felt wrong. Even if the identity of the great magister of the undead is real, it won't be much lethal if it is revealed.

   The reputation of necromancers is indeed bad, but apart from the Holy See who is shouting and shouting, other forces are not so hostile.

  Since the break with the Holy See, necromancers have openly appeared in the kingdom's mage group, and even arcanists and wizards who are considered blasphemous by the Holy See have made public appearances in the Alpha Kingdom.

  In an instant Hudson came to his senses. The Holy See's move was not for his life, but for the military power in his hands.

  The identity of a necromancer is too intimidating, and it is not enough to shout and kill, but professional discrimination still exists. Once his identity is hammered, the position of Hudson's coach will definitely not be stable.

  If he steps down now, the next ones who have the chance to take over are the Marquis of James and the Duke of Cavadia. Some of these two people are in collusion with the Holy See!

  After reaching this conclusion, Hudson was in a bad mood. Foreign enemies cannot defeat the Alpha Kingdom, but internal troubles are different.

   No matter who is colluding with the Holy See, it means that the Holy See's tentacles have secretly extended into the kingdom.

  Hudson is not too worried about the dispute between the Kingdom and the Holy See. Everyone has been fighting for so many years, and it is estimated that all methods have been used.

   But if he involved himself, that would be intolerable. If you don't find out the enemy's tentacles and cut them off, wouldn't it appear that he is easy to bully?

  It's a pity that I don't have any clues now. In Blake's capacity, Hudson can't arrest people for interrogation.

   Have no clue at all, it is really too difficult to find the traitor in the team.

  After this failure, the enemy's next actions are bound to become more subtle.

   No clues could be found, and Hudson looked like a traitor to everyone. Behaving more and more cautiously.

  …

   Time flies, half a year later. In the past years, the front line has generally been peaceful.

   Within the alliance, there were occasional quarrels between several major powers, creating gossip topics for everyone in their boring lives, and no major disturbances occurred.

  The orcs came over to attack and sabotage at the beginning, but after suffering a few big losses, the Yingren also learned how to behave, and no longer came to throw stones foolishly. Even if it was an order from the imperial court, it was mostly dealt with.

   They were all forced out. The Terran Alliance has improved its efficiency, and the first to arrive on the battlefield is the Air Force.

  Although they only took out part of their wealth, hundreds of forces, large and small, gathered together and still gathered an air force team of more than 20,000 people.

  The pressure instantly shifted to Yingren. Even in a decisive battle, the Terran Air Force would not be defeated.

   What's more, these human forces who don't talk about martial arts, in order to better deal with the Ying people, have equipped the air force with magic crossbows one by one.

  Compared with the rich and powerful human race, the performance of the orc empire is much poorer, and they can only make up with bows and arrows.

   For high-end products such as magic crossbows, the output of the Orc Empire is already low, and the cost is frighteningly high.

  Especially after the outbreak of the war, the Alpha Kingdom blocked all trade routes, causing them to directly lose their production capacity.

   There are no precision parts made by the dwarves, and the magic crossbows made by the orc empire are all giants.

  Even the smallest magic crossbow weighs five or six hundred catties. It's okay for the infantry to use it, but if it's used by the eagle soldiers, I'm afraid it can only be carried by two or three people.

   Holding a bow and arrow and shooting at the magic crossbow, Hudson couldn't help crying when he saw that scene.

   Carnage!

  Naked massacre!

  Intensive fire strikes often only need one face-to-face to deal a heavy blow to the Eagle Air Force.

   Except for a few strong Yingmen who can rush over to fight hand-to-hand, ordinary Yingren soldiers often die before the enemy can touch them.

  The battlefield is the best teacher. Reason tells Hudson that there is a high probability that there will be a big era of magic crossbow explosion.

  If the production cost of the magic crossbow can be reduced, the next continental war mode will be completely rewritten.

   Not to mention the lowest-level soldiers, even ordinary knights have little resistance to magic crossbows.

   Even sky knights can't resist the dense magic crossbow for long. Once the power of the life seeds in the body is exhausted, there is no choice but to run away.

   I have to admit that the development and popularization of war-related weapons is fast.

  The exact time when the magic crossbow was born is impossible to verify, but the portable miniature magic crossbow actually appeared forty or fifty years ago.

  Limited by cost, it has not been equipped on a large scale. However, research in related fields has never stopped.

  Looking at the various shapes of magic crossbows in everyone's hands, you can tell that these things are made by different alchemists, and they are obviously the results of the major forces over the years.

   What made Hudson speechless the most was that these results were not the result of people deliberately organizing manpower to study them, but just a sideline business created by the alchemists to make money.

  …

   "It can't go on like this, the strength shown by the human race is much stronger than that during the last continental war.

  Enemy air units in particular, over a third equipped with miniature magic crossbows. The shortest range is more than one hundred meters, and the farthest can even reach three or four hundred meters.

   Our people and enemies are fighting, and many times we have suffered heavy losses before we have time to get close!

  In the past six months, a total of 7,000 Eagle Warriors died on the battlefield, and the casualties to the enemy would never exceed 3,000, including the enemy's ground troops.

   Unless we can also mass-produce magic crossbows, this war will simply not go on! "

   Ying Renhuang said with a livid face.

  I thought it would be a good job to make trouble for the enemy and play air strikes, but I didn't expect that the losses would be so heavy.

  What worried the Emperor Yingren most was the speed of development of the human race. If this situation continues, the living environment of the Orc Empire in Aslante will only get worse and worse.

   "Eagle Emperor, calm down first. We have almost suppressed the domestic rebellion, and the next step is the decisive battle with the human race.

   Judging from the current situation, the power of the empire is obviously insufficient to defeat the enemy head-on.

  The danger of the magic crossbow really needs to be carefully considered, but it is not without a solution.

  The crisis has spread, and we are not the only ones who need to accept the challenge. All ethnic groups in the mainland must reconsider the threat of the human race.

  Record the battle screen of the magic crossbow, and send someone to the dwarves, and they will know what to do.

   Next, follow the old rules, trade space for time, and slowly consume with the human race amidst steady resistance.

  You don’t have to worry too much. The human race together is indeed invincible on the mainland, but the human race alliance has long since split.

  We need to face a human race composed of hundreds of forces, not a unified human race. The consumption of internal competition alone will at least consume more than half of their strength.

  The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. As long as the rulers of the various races in the mainland are not stupid, it is impossible to watch the human race destroy us. With the deterioration of the empire's situation, various races will definitely put pressure on the human race.

   If there is no accident, as long as it drags on for a while, and then finds a mediator to surrender to the human race, the war should be over. "

   Alex tried to comfort him.

  The tragic experience of the eagle race is just the beginning, and as the war progresses, more races will encounter.

  Deep in his heart, Alex couldn't help but secretly delighted. Finally, there is a backing, and they are no longer unlucky for the Beamon clan alone.

   "Eagle Emperor, what Emperor Bimon said makes sense. What we have to do now is to persevere. The human race is indeed very powerful, but all races in the mainland are not vegetarians.

  The main reason is that the time to start this war was too hasty, and I didn’t have time to coordinate the relationship with the various ethnic groups, otherwise I wouldn’t be so passive.

  After suffering this loss, as long as we learn the lesson, there will still be opportunities in the future.

  For example: the miniature magic crossbow in the human army.

  As long as the relationship with the dwarves is established, making spare parts is no longer a problem, and we also have the possibility of large-scale equipment.

   At worst, we will also develop sea transportation, trade with the dwarves by sea, and completely break the blockade of the Alpha Kingdom! "

  The Lion Emperor said proudly.

  From that calm and calm tone, it is completely impossible to see that this war was initiated by him, let alone a trace of guilt.

   It can only be said that being the boss is different. The strength didn't increase much, but the thickness of the skin increased first.

  The style of speaking and doing things is exactly the same as that of the old Beamon Emperor who passed away.
