Chapter XVI, the Council of Nobles

News came from the royal capital that something had happened to the Duchy of Moxi. The orc army attacked Augustoburg, reinforcements could not arrive in time, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.

Fort Augustus was the northern gate of the Duchy of Moxey, and the core of their first line of defense, which was always heavily guarded.

Based on the Kingdom's previous experience, even in the worst-case scenario, our first line of defense can hold off an orc army for half a year.

It has only been more than four months since the outbreak of the war, and the main battles in the early stage were carried by our family, and the Augustan defense line still fell so quickly, and the high-level of the kingdom was very worried.

The specific loss of the Principality of Moxi has not yet been clarified, but it is estimated that it is not small.

Now the main attack on them is the Hawkman Imperial Court, and it is too difficult for the main force to evacuate under the nose of the Hawkman.

If the Duchy of Moxi copes properly, it may be able to evacuate some of the knights to the second line of defense under the cover of night, so as to preserve the living force as much as possible.

Regardless of the final outcome, it is certain that the direction of the Orcs will change next, and the hard times for the Duchy of Moxi will come.

As the weakest of the three kingdoms, once it encounters the full force of the orcs, it will be difficult for the Principality of Moxi to hold on.

The royal capital is discussing whether to divide troops to reinforce the Duchy of Moxi. The stakes are high, and as one of the most important provinces in the Kingdom, we should also make our voices heard!"

Earl Pierce said with a solemn expression.

Having the right to speak should be a good thing. But the current situation is really not happy.

Whether the Principality of Moxi can hold on is of great significance to the Alpha Kingdom, and can even affect the situation on the entire continent.

Judging from the map, once the Duchy of Moxi falls, the adjacent Alpha Kingdom and Warhammer Kingdom will directly flank the portal.

Although there are some fortifications prepared on the border, they are not at all of the same magnitude compared to the defense lines in the Northland.

If the defense line can't withstand it, then you can only rely on the noble castles along the way to resist and delay time.

Even if they can hold on, the western provinces are bound to suffer heavy losses.

A terrible war, and all provinces of the kingdom could not escape. Once a new front is opened, it is inevitable that the southeastern provinces will go to the battlefield ahead of schedule.

If you're unlucky enough to not make it to the arrival of reinforcements, it's even worse.

If you don't get the order of the Alpha Kingdom, you will be defeated.

There is no compromise in race warfare. Without the unified dispatch of the kingdom, the nobles in various places will have to fight on their own, and the situation will be even worse.

"Sending troops to help the Principality of Moxi hold the line" is also not so easy to complete. Not only will it disrupt the military deployment of the Alpha Kingdom, but it will also be tight on troops.

The most important thing is whether the Principality of Moxi can withstand it is still unknown. If their native nobles don't give their strength, it will only be a drop in the bucket with the reinforcements squeezed out by the Alpha Kingdom.

"Your Excellency the Governor, according to the Kingdom's estimates, how long will the Duchy of Moxi be able to hold out?

When will reinforcements from the Terran countries arrive at the earliest?"

Viscount Oran was the first to ask.

There was too little information in hand, and it was too difficult to make a decision that would determine the future fate of the kingdom with just that little bit of information.

"The most optimistic estimate is that the Duchy of Mossi will be able to hold out for a year and a half; Pessimists, on the other hand, believe that they will hold out for a maximum of half a year.

In the royal capital, there is also controversy. The generals on the front line, judging the strength of the Principality of Moxi, are also very different.

Some people think that the strength of the Principality of Moxi still exists, and it can also rely on the city fortress and geographical advantages to spend a period of time with the orc army.

Others believe that the Duchy of Moxi is an empty shelf, and the orc invasion has punctured their disguise, and it may fall at any time.

Judging by the situation in Augustburg, the Duchy of Moxi was clearly ill-prepared for this war. If it is left in the kingdom, there will definitely be no problem that reinforcements will not arrive in time.

As for the reinforcements from the Terran countries, we have to wait for the alliance meeting in July, and the most optimistic estimate is that the reinforcements will also be next year.

Taking into account the actual situation, I am afraid that the specific time for each country to send troops will have to be delayed for a while.

The Terran Alliance has a lot to worry about. It's not just orcs who threaten the safety of our human race, but other alien races are also ready to move.

Especially when the orcs make a phased breakthrough on the front line, the stimulation of all races will be even greater. If other aliens took advantage of the opportunity, the situation would be even worse.

In addition to external threats, we must also consider internal issues. The restless Holy See has always been a major hidden danger for the human race.

However, this cancer is deep in the bone marrow, and it is difficult to pull them out.

First we clashed with the Holy See, and now it is the turn of the Frankish Kingdom to clash with the Holy See, and we simply don't want to make peace for the human race for a moment.

If it weren't for their human skins, I would have suspected that they were impersonating aliens, infiltrating the Terrans and stirring up civil strife."

After listening to Earl Pierce's words, the temperature in the room dropped by ten degrees. Even if the fiery sun outside scorched the earth, it still couldn't blow away the cold indoors.

Assessments of the strength of the Duchy of Moxi are polarized, which means that uncertainty is very high.

It would be nice if the strength was still as the optimists estimated. The kingdom sent a dozen or two hundred thousand reinforcements to relieve their urgent needs, and they would be able to recover later.

Otherwise, the calf is finished. If the Principality of Moxi is not strong on its own, even if it fills in a million reinforcements, it can only send human heads to the orcs.

This ultra-high uncertainty made Hudson hesitate on the question of whether to send troops to reinforce the Duchy of Moxi.

What's even worse is the reinforcement from various countries. Now the three northern kingdoms still have a certain strength, and each country only needs to send tens of thousands of elites to teach the orc army to be human again.

It's a pity that these guys with their own ghosts just want to preserve their strength, and they don't want to work hard in this kind of pure public welfare activity with no interests at all.

As for the evaluation of the Holy See, Hudson simply chose to ignore it. Anti-papal is politically correct in the kingdom, and if Count Pierce can say good things about the papal see, then there is a problem.

Perhaps the Holy See does want to see the Terrans in danger, but they want to turn the tide and restore glory, not kick the Terrans into the abyss.

From the standpoint of the kingdom, what the Holy See is doing now is indeed a betrayal of the human race.

"Your Excellency the Governor, in addition to the kingdoms, the Warhammer Kingdom, the Principality of Orton, the Principality of Fik, and the Ringham Kingdom...... These countries bordering the Principality of Moxi should also make a choice now.

If we can all act together and send troops together to reinforce the Principality of Moxi, the situation should be much better."

Hudson bluntly proposed.

The collapse of the Principality of Moxie means that other Terran nations can wait and see, but these neighbors cannot.

No one knows where the orc army will target next, and if they are not careful, the flames of war will burn into their homes.

The guarded Alpha Kingdom can at least resist it. The countries that are not prepared will really become the meat on the eucalyptus board of the orcs.

A family gathered tens of thousands of reinforcements, and it was not a weak force. There is no guarantee that it will be able to turn the tide, but at least it can be done to buy more preparation time for the kingdom.

"Viscount Hudson's proposal is good, and I will respond to the Kingdom. It is estimated that in the royal capital, there will also be this consideration.

What countries will decide will probably depend on the choices of the kingdom. After all, among the neighboring countries of the Principality of Moxi, in addition to the kingdom, the Warhammer Kingdom has some strength.

The remaining bunch of small countries have very limited military strength. The military strength of some countries is not even comparable to that of China's southeastern provinces.

If you want to pull all countries to send troops together, the prerequisite is that the kingdom sends troops first, so that they can follow up.

The war on the front line cannot be delayed, and the kingdom must take a stand as soon as possible. Due to the war, the Council of the Nobles of the Kingdom could not be convened.

As a member of parliament, let's vote now! The result of the vote is not only the position of everyone in the parliament, but also the position of our southeastern province.

It involves the future fate of the kingdom, and also the fate of each of us in the future. This time, we must take a stand, either for support or against, and we cannot abstain from neutrality.

Those who support the rescue of the Principality of Moxie, please raise your hand!"

Earl Pierce said solemnly.

In order not to fall into the endless bickering, he directly played "Quick Knife Cutting Mess". Comments could be put forward slowly, but the vote had to take place immediately.

The result came out in advance, and the ripped skin lost its value. After being summarized in the royal capital, the will of a group of powerful nobles is the choice of the kingdom.

It may seem incredible, but it's actually the best choice. As a shareholder of the kingdom, at this critical moment, you always have to show a sense of ownership.

Decisions made by everyone together, whether right or wrong, can be faced calmly by everyone.

If it is arbitrary, the pressure on the king will be great. The right choice is right, and the wrong judgment is responsible.

The slightest carelessness is a political storm. In the face of the orc army, the Alpha Kingdom now needs to unite and can no longer withstand internal tosses.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hudson was the first to raise his hand. It is better to burn in the Principality of Moxi than to spread to the territory of the Alpha Kingdom.

It seems that the southeastern province is in the rear of the kingdom, and it is safe to fight it. But once the western provinces are eroded, then the heavy responsibility of providing supplies for the front-line army will all be on the eastern provinces.

When the time comes, not only will they have to ask for money and food, but they will also have to provide soldiers, and even everyone will have to personally lead the troops to the front.

With the family background of the mountain leader, bankruptcy is a matter of minutes. The great cause of land reclamation is also counted on, and priority must be given to ensuring the supply of money and grain on the front line.

There were many other nobles with similar concerns, and Hudson made a start, and then everyone followed suit.

Interestingly, the county guards of the Dalton family also raised their hands in unison. Obviously, on the issue of sending troops to rescue the Duchy of Moxi, Governor Pierce was also supportive.

"Everyone has seen the result, and I will report it to the royal capital truthfully. After all the nobles who are eligible to vote have voted, the final result will be the final decision of the kingdom.

The situation is getting more and more difficult, and I hope that everyone will put more effort into preparing for the war. Prepare a little more now, and the probability that you will come back alive in the future will be a better point.

Colleague, I don't want to see someone shroud in horseskin.

As a word of caution, given the current complex situation, it is possible that we will be called up earlier!"

Earl Pierce said earnestly.

I may be concerned, but I still see the tragedy of the loser, and I don't want to follow in the footsteps of those unlucky people.

According to the establishment of the kingdom, once the private armies of the nobles in the southeastern provinces were reorganized, the county guards would be appointed as the commanders of the legions, and the governors would be the commanders of the group armies.

Under the same establishment system, when performing tasks, there is a high probability that they will also act together.

If the younger brother doesn't give his strength, he will be implicated as the boss. The orc army doesn't care so much, and when they find a weakness, they will beat it hard.

The best way to survive on the battlefield is to increase the number of troops as much as possible and make them elite.

In addition to stipulating the minimum number of troops, the kingdom's military service mission also encourages everyone to bring more troops on the expedition.

If the army of 10,000 people exceeds the number of 100,000 people, the logistics department of the kingdom will distribute supplies according to the actual number. In a word: I am not afraid that you have many soldiers, but I am afraid that you have no soldiers.

The larger and more elite the army, the higher the probability of completing the mission and the safer the kingdom becomes.

Theoretically, as long as all the nobles complete their mission, the orc army will never be able to enter.

In fact, if you look through the history books, you know that it is impossible.

The nobles stationed in the early stage, relying on the help of the kingdom, were able to barely complete the task.

In the later period, when the troops were tight, reinforcements could not be arrived in time, and that was when the defense line collapsed.

In all major wars, it was only a matter of time before the defensive line collapsed. The difference is limited to when it collapsed and in whose hands it collapsed.

There is no need to panic if you lose a battle, because when the front collapses, everyone is often losing.

As long as you have a good record, you don't need to worry about accountability. The ones who will really be held accountable are usually the ones who didn't complete the mission and didn't even do it to the enemy.

Worried that his subordinates are too powerful, that's purely thinking too much. No matter how awesome the character is, when he arrives on the battlefield, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Too active, that's what the orcs are targeting. was beaten by the most ruthless orcs, and even if he could pick up a life, it was inevitable that he would suffer heavy losses.

This is also the reason why the Alpha Kingdom has been able to maintain balance for a long time. No matter how awesome the aristocracy is, once the war breaks out, they will be beaten back to their original shape.

For example, the five nobles of the Northland, who were awesome before, returned to the same starting line with the big nobles of the kingdom after the war.

Even if the fiefdom was larger, the losses suffered were even greater. Not only the losses of the army were large, but also the losses of the serfs under his command would not be small.

In the face of the evacuation and transfer of the orc army, they can only move into the nearby castle fortress. If you want to evacuate to the rear, even if the kingdom is willing to come forward to organize, the old and weak body is not allowed to travel long distances.

……

Out of the Governor's Palace, Hudson's whole body became heavy. The changes in the Principality of Moxi were like a thousand pounds of weight on him.

Will sending reinforcements restore the decadence of the Principality of Moxi?

No one can answer this question. In short, the pace of the war is further approaching the mountain territory, and the time to enter the war may be brought forward.

Correspondingly, it also means that this war is more brutal and difficult to fight. Without the reinforcements of the Terran countries, the pressure on the three northern countries to face the orc army alone is too great.

Perhaps the pace of the reorganization of the armed forces needs to be further accelerated. It is also necessary to open a second round of training for the children of the nobility in the county.
