The King

   There was a war of words and guns, but in the end it was fruitless. The disparity between the psychological expectations of the two parties was too great. Even though both sides made concessions, the negotiations still reached a stalemate.

  According to the rules of the Aslant Continent, problems that cannot be resolved on the negotiating table are usually resolved by fighting.

  The Alien Alliance hopes to use force to force the three countries to submit, and the three countries also want to fight through military means to fight for their own rights.

   The first contact, which broke up unhappy, pushed the situation in the Central Continent to a climax, and the war became more and more intense.

  The changes in the international situation have not yet affected the Alpha Kingdom. It's not that the high-level officials of the kingdom don't know that the situation in the mainland is deteriorating, but that they are really beyond their reach.

   As the commander-in-chief of the military, Hudson naturally received news of the deteriorating situation in the Central Continent. I don't know where the confidence came from, Caesar IV even sent a letter urging him to quickly solve the orc empire.

  The situation is very good, that's just a superficial phenomenon. Hudson doesn't think the kingdom can win if he really wants to lead the army to a decisive battle with the orc empire.

   Now the benefits continue, it is because he dragged the orcs into the war of attrition. With the advantage of a higher level of civilization, bully the orc empire.

  Once the orcs came to their senses, reluctantly gave up a large area of ​​land, and directly gave up confronting them, the situation would change immediately.

   Even temporarily defeating the orcs is useless. Even with the backing of the Human Alliance, the overall national strength of the kingdom is not enough to support Lao Shi's expedition.

   "Marshal, the enemy's army has moved. According to the intelligence of the investigation, all the nearby orc armies have been mobilized and are rushing towards us.

  A fighter plane has appeared, as long as we drag it here for a few days, we can let the defenders fight out..."

   Before Kane could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "No need, the time for the decisive battle is not yet ripe.

   What the kingdom needs is not just a victory, but a victory without too much loss. Fighting with the orcs will hurt both sides. What can we do to deal with the international situation later?

   Pass on the order, ignore the enemy's troop mobilization, let the troops wait for the opportunity to find the enemy's weak link, and directly break through and return home! "

   A fighter plane that everyone can see is not a fighter plane.

  Although I don't know what the orc's mind is thinking, it is foolish to mobilize the infantry to surround and hunt the cavalry, but there is definitely nothing wrong with ignoring it.

  The expeditionary army can go deep into the enemy's rear once, and then it can come a second time. In the vast prairie, even if the orcs were prepared, they would not be able to guard against it.

  Maybe the big tribes can bring a little trouble to the expeditionary army, but the mainstream on the orc prairie is still small and medium tribes.

   A small tribe of thousands of people, even if the main force is at home, it cannot stop the expeditionary army.

   It cannot solve the security problem in the rear. In the coming war, the Orc Empire will only become more passive.

   "Yes, Marshal!"

  …

  In the camp of the orc army, the faces of the five emperors who received the battle report from the front line were gloomy and terrifying.

  In order to perfect the follow-up battle plan, all the high-level orcs, including the five emperors, did not sleep all night last night.

  However, just as the plan to lure the enemy started, the enemy actually slipped away.

   "Fool!"

   "It's just hopelessly stupid!"

   "Three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments were brought together, and they didn't hold the enemy for a day. The situation of the empire was ruined by the gang of trash!"

  The violent Xiong Renhuang immediately cursed.

  The failure of the plan to lure the enemy meant that they lost the possibility of defeating the main force of the Alpha Kingdom in a short period of time.

  The enemy army huddled in the city and could not come out. There was no other way but to attack.

  The expeditionary army can run to the Orc Empire for a walk, but it doesn't mean that the Orc Army can also go deep into the Alpha Kingdom.

  "Destroying" is easy to say, but difficult to implement. There are densely packed fortresses along the way. Even if you send troops, you only dare to move around. Going deep is to contribute to the enemy.

   High risk is second, the key is that it is useless to go deep behind enemy lines. In the hundreds of miles of the front line, the enemy has already fortified the walls and cleared the field, and they can't grab anything.

   "Enough, Emperor Xiong!

  No one wants to see this kind of thing happen. The officers and soldiers on the front line also tried their best, but the enemy didn't get entangled with them at all.

  Mostly it was our plan, which was seen through by Hudson again, and we were never given a chance to display it.

  It’s good to end it like this now, if we really had a decisive battle at this moment, we wouldn’t be able to eat the enemy.

   Wait for Daniel to bring the army to join us, and then wait for the opportunity to fight the enemy, at least it will increase the odds of winning by a few percent! "

  The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said angrily.

   Obviously, Xiong Renhuang's words just now stimulated him. The speaker may not be intentional, but the listener is intentional.

   Xiong Renhuang blamed his subordinates for being useless, in the eyes of Yinyue Wolf Emperor, he was pointing fingers at Sang Huai.

  Daniel, as the coach of the army, must bear the primary responsibility for the current bad state of the war. The son's performance is not good, and his face as an old man is also dull.

   Being able to fight back forcefully is also brought out by teammates. Daniel's performance was poor, and the other orcs were even worse.

  Change the general to command, maybe the 200,000 army gathered together has now been wiped out.

  The tragedy of the Alliance of Ancient Remnants has proved that the expeditionary army under the command of Hudson has the ability to defeat the strong with the weak.

"snort!"

   "Wolf King, are you kidding me?

  Originally, the front line is short of supplies. If Daniel brings hundreds of thousands of troops to meet up, what kind of support will the logistics provide?

   At that time, I am afraid that the enemy will not need to attack, and the logistics of the army alone will be able to drag down the empire.

  You all look forward and backward and dare not tell the truth, so let me speak.

   Now there are two roads before us. Either attack all the way through and forcibly tear through the enemy's layers of defense; or give up a large area of ​​land and withdraw the troops directly to recuperate! "

   While speaking, Emperor Xiong smashed the table in front of him with a slap, and the flying sawdust startled all the orcs. The scene was much more exciting than lifting the table.

  The lid was lifted, and all the generals fell into panic, and turned their attention to the five emperors.

  Now only they are qualified to participate in this kind of scene, and others may get burned if they speak.

  Looking at the indifferent Xiong Renhuang, the faces of the four emperors were also very ugly. The essence of being so shameless is that the strength of each ethnic group has changed.

  The five royal families were all forced to live in the backcountry for a period of time. In the era of severe shortage of supplies, the losses of the cavalry must be greater than that of the infantry.

  When the young and yellow were not picked up, in order to continue the racial inheritance, the orc royal family, who could not afford so many war beasts, was forced to reduce the number of cavalry.

  To be exact, they just reduced the troop number, and the specific disarmament work was done by the Terran coalition for them.

  Affected by the lack of supplies, all ethnic groups had to reduce the number of war beasts raised. The Yinyue Wolf Clan and the Lion Clan suffered the most. Not only did they eliminate the old and the weak, they also temporarily suspended the reproduction of the Wolf Warriors and Lion Warriors.

  These actions directly determine that their military strength will be greatly affected in the following years.

  The Bearman Royal Family, which was relatively less damaged, gradually surpassed the Lionman Family in military strength, and became the most powerful family in the Orc Empire.

  Whoever is strong has more power to speak. The inherent political rules have always restrained the weak.

  …

  Leading the army back into the land of the kingdom, Hudson breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at him in front of the generals, he has always been calm, but the pressure in his heart is not small.

   After all, they are doing things behind enemy lines, and any accidents are possible. If you accidentally collide with the enemy's main force, you will suffer heavy losses.

   Glancing at the generals who were welcoming him, Hudson waved calmly and said: "The soldiers need to rest after returning from the expedition, so let's postpone the celebration banquet!

   Distribute the prepared wine and meat to each unit. It is important to ensure that every soldier of the expeditionary force receives adequate nutritional supplements. "

  There must be a "celebration banquet" after every war, not just a game of boasting. There is enough wine and meat, and it is essentially to supplement nutrition for the soldiers.

  The Expeditionary Corps slaughtered all directions on the grassland. Although there was no shortage of food supplements, it was the battlefield after all, and the rhythm of life was still disrupted.

  Because of the needs of the war, it is normal to have a hungry meal and a full meal. Many times, wanting to drink a sip of hot soup is an extravagant wish.

  During the journey, eating and sleeping in the open, many soldiers lost weight.

  Hudson was anxious to bring the troops back to rest, but also worried that the soldiers would not be able to hold on. If this elite team of the kingdom was abolished due to overuse, he would have no way to explain it to all parties.

   "Yes, Marshal!"

   When replying, the generals were suspicious. However, Hudson's prestige still made them swallow the words that came to their lips.

  Postponing the celebration banquet is not canceling it, so there is no need to quarrel with the coach over such a trivial matter.

  The officers have no opinion, and the soldiers below are even less likely to have any opinion. The prepared wine and meat were all distributed, and the celebration banquet was postponed, which meant that there would be another one later, which would be double the happiness.

  The only thing that needs a headache is probably the logistics department. However, this is also a small problem. The expeditionary army went deep into the enemy's rear and made trouble for two months, which saved a lot of food and supplies.

   After they settled down, the losses of the expeditionary legion were also counted. The price of killing the Quartet all the way is: 4,000 officers and soldiers will stay on the prairie forever, and 2,000 officers and soldiers will be forced to retire and return home.

  Disability can be healed, but it is difficult to replenish the consumed vitality.

  Because of the needs of the war, many soldiers have received many magical treatments, and their vitality has been exhausted.

   If you continue to stay on the battlefield, you may die at any time. If you return to your hometown to be honored and raised, you can live for a few more years. If it is well maintained, it may be able to catch up with the average life expectancy.

  Hudson is not a heartless person, and he cannot ignore life. The situation in the kingdom has not deteriorated to the point where it must be desperate, and there is no need to send these heroes to a dead end.

   "Jose, go to the army for me to dissuade these officers and soldiers who are not suitable to stay on the battlefield."

   "Forget it, I'll go over and make an agreement in person. You are responsible for drafting documents, explaining the detailed situation to the country, and asking the various places to properly accommodate these retired officers and soldiers.

  In addition, you should also collect statistics and sum up the records of the expeditionary force on the prairie and the relevant battles, and report them to the kingdom after polishing and sorting. "

   Hudson said quite sadly.

  He can lead the expeditionary army to kill all directions, but he can't change the cruel nature of war. In the face of the cold casualties, the joy of victory disappeared without a trace.

  …

   Lutetia Palace, looking at the information collected from various places, Charles III rubbed his forehead with a headache.

   If you don't pay attention, the situation in Central China is on the verge of collapse. If no remedial measures are taken, the situation on the mainland is likely to collapse.

   "Damn the Holy See, what are they doing! They can actually divide the dwarf kingdom, so it's hard for them to ruin my human race's hegemony?

  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent someone to ask that idiot Pius VII, I want to know what is going on in his mind..."

  The chattering and cursing exposed the anger in Charles III's heart.

  What cultivates rationality is an external illusion. If something big happens, those in power will be angry.

  It's good to be able to vent your anger in time, but if you keep holding it in your heart, sooner or later something will go wrong.

  The king's angry words were ignored by everyone. Anyway, it was the Holy See who was scolding, and everyone didn't have the heart to defend the enemy, not to mention the Holy See was not wronged at all.

  The army of elves killed all directions, as everyone expected. Under the joint siege of the Holy See and the Kingdom of Ruthenia, the dwarf kingdom still had the strength to stab the countries of the mainland from behind, which was completely beyond everyone's imagination.

  The Kingdom of Ruthenia has fallen, and internal conflicts have accumulated a lot, so the poor performance is understandable. It would be too much for the powerful Holy See to collapse.

  Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that the Holy See must be paddling water in the war, trying to use the dwarf kingdom to consume the military strength of the Ruthenian kingdom.

   It doesn't matter if you play tricks and tricks. All countries are calculating each other anyway, but because of the Holy See's calculations, the situation in Central China collapsed, which is intolerable.

  In fact, Charles III also cursed. The Frankish Kingdom is also helpless against the big man of the Holy See.

   There is no accountability. Even if the Human Race Alliance Parliament can pass it, it is now unable to initiate a liquidation against the Holy See.

   "Your Majesty, the situation in Central China has deteriorated, and the subsequent development of the situation is likely to be beyond our control.

  The most ideal state is that the countries in the mainland and the foreign races will fight to the end until the mainland coalition forces arrive to reverse the current passive situation.

   But the probability of this happening is not high. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the three major kingdoms in Central China are likely to choose to compromise with the alien alliance! "

  Foreign Minister Marquis Jesús analyzed solemnly.

   To "compromise" with the enemy in a completely passive situation is not simply to stop the war, there must be a series of additional conditions.

  Without the three kingdoms in the mainland, the future direction of the mainland war has become confusing.

  It is true that most of the human power is in the Southern Continent, but this power is not so easy to control. How to deal with the relationship between the three giants of the Holy See, the Frankish Kingdom, and the Iberian Kingdom is a thorny problem.

  In addition to this, the fallen Kingdom of Oprus, Avalat, and Ruthenia also have their own plans.

   "Your Majesty, the current situation may not be the worst. In fact, compared to us, the Holy See should have more headaches now.

  Because of their own laissez-faire, the blockade against the dwarf kingdom has now collapsed, and the subsequent war will cause them headaches.

   It is estimated that the nobles of the countries in the middle mainland hate them now. After the war, the influence of the Holy See in the mainland is bound to be hit hard.

  The conditions for establishing a separate Holy See are now fully mature. As long as the Continental War is over, we can begin our operations.

  In addition to these benefits, the kingdom has further established its advantages over other countries in this war.

  In the future, the situation on the mainland is very likely to have a pattern of one superpower and many powers under our leadership.

   As for the alien alliance, there is actually no need to take it too seriously. The current glory is only a flash in the pan, and the current elves are not suitable for war. This continental war is their last bloom.

  The current victory seems to have changed the embarrassing situation of the alien alliance, but it is actually too fragile.

  Fairness is a big issue. The fact that the foreign race alliance can come back against the wind is essentially the contribution of the elves.

   But these contributions cannot be unlimited, and they need to be rewarded sooner or later. When interests are involved, disputes are bound to arise.

   Suffering and taking advantage are difficult to define in themselves. No matter how the postwar benefits are distributed, there will be racial dissatisfaction.

   With a little provocation, the internal conflicts of the alien alliance will intensify.

   In a sense, the alien alliance after the armistice is easier to deal with than it is now. "

  The words of the prime minister, Duke Bergson, made the atmosphere relaxed.

  It seems that the situation has deteriorated severely, but the threat of the congenital alien alliance to the Frankish Kingdom is very limited.

  Elves can help the alien alliance to reverse the situation, but it does not mean that they are willing to continue to contribute to the expansion of each race.
