Even coaxing and flickering, coupled with miserable sales and moral kidnapping, finally invited Marshal Borg out of the mountain.

There was no time to breathe a sigh of relief, and new troubles were in front of Joseph II.

As an ally, the Duchy of Moxi's request for help must give a clear answer.

Before that, none of the countries took a stand, and the Warhammer Kingdom could wait.

But now the Alpha Kingdom has announced in a high-profile manner that it will send "200,000" troops to support the Principality of Moxi, which has forced them into a corner all of a sudden.

Everyone is an ally, and the Alpha Kingdom, which has been attacked by the orc army, has drawn out its forces, and it is obviously unreasonable for the Warhammer Kingdom to sit idly by.

Send troops to the rescue, there is a threat from the orc army on the side.

In case the reinforcements just set off on the front foot, the orcs immediately called.

If you can't rescue your allies, you will become the one who asks for help, and then it will be a joke.

"Marshal, what do you think about the affairs of the Principality of Moxi?"

Joseph II asked.

Never led a soldier, never went to the battlefield.

On military matters, the sane Joseph II felt that it was better to consult a professional first.

Although he himself promoted many generals, he had no experience in commanding large corps in battle. Judgments made based on one's own perception may not necessarily be accurate.

"Your Majesty, the Principality of Moxi must be saved!

Politically and militarily, the kingdom could not sit idly by.

Otherwise, the alliance relationship will deteriorate, and the next time the orcs will attack us, it will be difficult to ask for help from various countries.

Unlike the Duchy of Moxi, which was sandwiched in the middle, we no longer border the Alpha Kingdom.

Even if the kingdom falls under the iron hooves of the orcs, the impact on them in the short term will not be great, and it will not belong to the place of salvation.

Without the Alpha Kingdom taking the lead, the few neighbors to the west were overwhelmed, and the Principality of Moxi was too busy to take care of itself.

Once the orcs turn around, we'll be left alone.

Now the kingdom not only wants to rescue the Principality of Moxi, but also must follow the example of the Alpha Kingdom and send troops to rescue with great fanfare.

This is not only for the Principality of Moxi, but also for the countries of the Terran Alliance.

If possible, we would also like to say that the Duchy of Moxy will counterattack to regain the Augsburg defense line and reverse the current strategic passivity."

Marshal Borg said with a serious face.

Militarily, the more land the Duchy of Moxi falls, the longer the Warhammer Kingdom's exposed flank defenses.

Politically, it is more related to the survival of the Triple Alliance.

"Marshal, the Alpha Kingdom sent 200,000 troops, most of which was just a bluff.

Although the orc army has shifted the direction of attack, the army that stays on their borders is still a huge number.

Even if the Alpha Kingdom is stronger than us, it can still affect their mobilization system if it can draw 200,000 troops at a time.

I think they can come up with 100,000 reinforcements at most, plus reinforcements from several other small countries, it is a miracle that they can gather 300,000 troops.

Moreover, the quality of these reinforcements is also very doubtful.

The standing army of the Alpha Kingdom could not move, so it could only send the private army of the nobles, and several other small countries had just been mobilized, so it was not good that some people would make up the number with serfs.

With the quality of these soldiers, it is okay to be sent out to defend the city, and it is hopeless to expect them to help regain the lost territory.

Even with the kingdom added, there is no chance of victory. Forcibly regaining the defensive line will result in heavy losses at least and annihilation of the entire army.

In the event of another major defeat, countries will not be able to send enough reinforcements again in a short period of time. The Principality of Moxi, which is already panicking, is afraid that it is about to collapse completely."

Prime Minister Gai Yin said with a frown.

It's one thing to rescue the Duchy of Moxi, it's another thing to help them regain lost territory.

From a strategic point of view, recovering the Augsburg Line would definitely be beneficial to Warhammer Kingdom. The only problem is that it can't be done.

"Haha......"

"Your Excellency, what we're going to talk about now is what is best for the kingdom, not for you to worry about your allies.

From the perspective of the overall situation, it is best to help the Principality of Moxi to stabilize its defenses. But the loss to be paid by the kingdom is great.

Do you think that the orc army that can't make a breakthrough will run to gnaw the hard bone of the Alpha Kingdom next, or will it turn the direction of attack and turn the direction of attack at us?

Unlike the heavily built northern defensive line, the kingdom was woefully ill-prepared on the eastern front.

Beyond Augsburg is the Great Plains of Warhammer, and apart from our unfinished steel lines on the border, there are scattered noble castles.

Once it is attacked by the main force of the orcs, it is only a matter of time before it falls. Without fortress fortifications, if you want to hold off the orc army in the wild, even if you mobilize the army of the whole country, you can't do it.

If you don't want the kingdom to be beaten into nothing, then you can only let your allies sacrifice it. The long march of the orcs into the Duchy of Moxie will indeed make us more passive strategically.

But all this will take time, and they will not risk a full-scale attack on us without pulling out the nails in the road.

In the meantime, we can strengthen our defenses while exaggerating the strength of the orcs to the Terran nations that have not yet been involved, forcing them to make decisions in advance.

With the stimulus of a major defeat at the front, it was possible for the July meeting of the alliance to make a decision in our favor and allow countries to send troops ahead of schedule.

Of course, there are also significant risks. If a group of alien races seized this opportunity to make a move and contain the reinforcements from various countries, it would be a big trouble.

However, this is a small probability event, even if they want to take advantage of the opportunity, the various clans will choose to wait for the reinforcements to depart, and then jump out to do something."

Marshal Borg said indifferently.

Pit teammates, he doesn't want to either. There is no way, if there is no problem with the Duchy of Moxi, there will be a big problem with the Warhammer Kingdom.

Even if this plan was to quench his thirst, Marshal Borg had no choice.

If something is not done, with the unfinished fortifications on the Eastern Front, it is impossible to stop the attack of the orc army.

Unlike the Alpha Kingdom, which was experienced in beatings and ready to be invaded at any time, the nobles occupied the dangerous territory early, built enough castles and fortresses to accommodate all the people, and stored enough food.

The Warhammer Kingdom's preparations for this war were completely hasty. According to their prior estimates, they had always thought that it would be impossible for the orcs to invade with all their might before the old Beamon Emperor hung up.

If you make a mistake in strategic judgment, you naturally need to pay for it. Based on the experience of the reinforcements from various countries gathering to counterattack the orcs when they participated in the war in the past, most of the nobles of the Warhammer Kingdom overestimated their own strength.

Even now, there are still many small and medium-sized nobles in the Warhammer Kingdom who are optimistic about this war. Naively thought: as long as they are fully mobilized, they can drive the orcs back to their homeland.

In this state, let the orc army slaughter into the hinterland of the kingdom, and if you don't do it, you will really be beaten into nothing.

Everyone has been wiped out by the orc scourge, and even if the Terran Alliance helps to regain the lost territory afterwards, it will be difficult to revive the Warhammer Kingdom.

After a slight hesitation, Joseph II nodded helplessly. Deep down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Marshal Borg was invited out, otherwise according to the plan of his gang, it would have been a tragedy to stupidly take up the thunder for the Duchy of Moxi.

……

The Duchy of Moxi, receiving the news that the Alpha Kingdom was sending troops, Chris IX breathed a deep sigh of relief.

With this big brother taking the lead, the rest of the problems will be easy to handle. The neighbors in the neighborhood have to give more or less help.

The family gathered tens of thousands of reinforcements, which is not a small number. Even if you can't defeat the main force of the orcs, at least you can help stabilize the situation.

In addition to reinforcements, what the Principality of Moxi needs most is "faith". Resistance with reinforcements, and fighting alone without reinforcements are completely different concepts.

"Your Majesty, this is a note from the Warhammer Kingdom. They propose to join forces of our two countries, together with reinforcements from all countries, to retake Augsburg and restore the former line of defense."

As he spoke, Foreign Minister Renato handed over a piece of paperwork.

Taking the paperwork, flipping through the pages and scanning the contents, Chris IX fell into hesitation.

The reason given by the Warhammer Kingdom is very good, the terrain on the front line of Augustburg is the best place to build a defensive line.

In contrast, the current defense line of Terence City is completely built by manpower. The so-called natural danger is just a small mountain bag 180 meters high.

If the hills are more continuous and form a hilly terrain, it can also be used for improvisation.

Unfortunately, there aren't many hills in the area. The real mountainous terrain is still in the southern region of the Duchy of Moxi.

No matter how much you retreat, you can't abandon the foundation of the principality and run into the ravine to fight guerrilla attacks with the orcs!

What's more, the place where the orc army passed, even if it was not a white land, there were not many living people. It's very difficult to swim.

Closing the paperwork, Chris IX asked slowly, "What do you think of Warhammer Kingdom's proposal?"

It can be seen that he is really tempted this time. The pie drawn by Warhammer Kingdom is too tempting.

Once the Augsburg line was recaptured, everything was back to the pre-war period. The Principality of Moxi, which is on the verge of extinction, will be resurrected directly with full blood.

Even because of the war, he was able to passively train an army with good combat effectiveness. In the next confrontation against the orc invasion, it has a few more chances of winning.

"Your Majesty, from a strategic point of view, recovering the Augsburg Line is indeed the best option, and the only two problems are:

Politically, whether it will affect the coalition meeting in July; Militarily, will the troops really complete their combat missions as expected?"

Prime Minister Hurcheg said worriedly.

The plan is good, but in the end, it is up to people to carry it out. The orc armies are coming, and it will not be easy to recover Augustburg from them.

In case the initiative leads to a major defeat at the front, from the side that regained lost territory to the side that fled in a hurry, then it will be over.

In contrast, the Terran Alliance meeting in July was less important. According to the past practice, the alliance can quarrel with any matter.

For such a big thing as sending troops and reinforcements, if you don't make a fuss for a while, you won't be able to enter the voting procedure at all.

"Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity. With the Warhammer Kingdom cooperating and reinforcements coming together, this is our best chance to regain lost territory.

If we talk about mobilizing the Alpha Kingdom to contain the orc army on the front line, the probability of success is even higher."

War Minister Martins said cautiously.

"Opportunity" is only a matter of probability, and does not mean that it will be realized.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and in the final analysis, it still depends on strength.

Unfortunately, many of these issues are not just simple military issues, but also contain a series of political issues.

The front line is constantly losing cities and territory, and the pressure on the military headquarters is also increasing day by day. Domestic calls for Martins' removal are getting louder and louder, and if he doesn't make some achievements, he will get out.

Even if he knew that there was a risk involved, Martins could only take a gamble. For him personally, it's easy to say that he won everything, and it won't be much worse if he loses than he is now.

Glancing hesitantly at the north, Chris IX asked with a solemn expression, "What is the probability of success in recovering the Augsburg defense line if we join forces with the Warhammer Kingdom?"

……

After a series of preparations, the expeditionary force ushered in the day of assembly.

Looking at the large and small packets, Hudson was very suspicious that this was a team that was going to the market, not an army going to the battle.

People are cheap when they leave their homes. It's two thousand miles away, and fighting in a foreign land is not enough to be prepared.

Other daily necessities can be provided by the Duchy of Moxi. Clothes and quilts for all seasons of the year must be prepared in advance.

Out of distrust of the logistics capabilities of their allies, the nobles and lords rarely collectively bled for a while, and arranged for all the soldiers participating in the battle.

Fifteen thousand soldiers are only a lot more, counting people and animals, the total strength directly exceeds 20,000, just waiting for the kingdom to send someone to come and check it.

Inspecting the neatly lined line, a sense of pride arose from Hudson's chest. Looking at this magnificent momentum, it is not in vain that he has worked hard for so long.

The aristocratic officers who were in charge of counting the number of people on the side were all taken aback by the momentum displayed by the team.

It's not that they don't know, it's that the soldiers of Latshire showed a lot of morale. There is no shortage of elite reinforcements in other regions, but when they hear that they have to fight against the orcs, they are all like dead fathers and mothers.

The exception of the soldiers of Latshire was that, in addition to complaining about the long distance, they did not pay attention to the orc army they were about to face.

Vaguely, there is also a disdainful arrogance.

There is no doubt that this spirit was deliberately cultivated by Hudson. When they were training in the Mountain Territory, they were all sent out in batches to supervise the work of orc slaves.

For a soldier who has wielded a leather whip and supervised the work of orc slaves, it is easy to have a sense that orcs are nothing more than such a psychological advantage.

The subtle psychological suggestion implantation gave everyone a sense of superiority over the orcs. So much so that when it comes to going out to fight against the orcs, everyone has a strong contempt in their bones.

This mentality made the morale of the expeditionary army far exceed that of the reinforcements sent by neighboring provinces.

"Viscount Hudson, your training skills are amazing! It's just that if you look at the whole continent, it's one of the best.

Perhaps you should take on a heavier responsibility, such as serving as the chief instructor of the kingdom's army, and training an elite for the kingdom to match!"

The middle-aged officer didn't say anything, he was really ready to recommend it to the king. In the face of national crisis, anything that can enhance the military strength of the kingdom is very meaningful.

It's just that his own family knows his own affairs, and the training of the soldiers in Latshire seems to be replicable, but in fact it is very difficult to operate.

The Alpha Kingdom is not without orc slaves, but there is really no second home for such a large-scale use of orc slaves as Mountain Territory.

This alone blocks the way to large-scale imitation.

As for the rest of the cohort training, it is only effective in improving the discipline and momentum of the recruits, and the old fritters are not interested in these.

If Hudson had been put in charge of training the nation's troops, the problems of these people would have been exposed very quickly. Coupled with the fact that there are not enough military instructors, blind reforms will only make things worse.

"Count José laughed, trying to command the team in front of me has exhausted me. How can we take on the heavy responsibility of training the national army.

In normal times, it doesn't hurt to carry out military reforms and try them. But now is the time of war, and every move will be magnified.

Rather than carry out reforms with uncertain prospects, it is better to maintain the status quo and wait until the war is over."

Hudson politely declined.

It's all true, it's really not suitable to play with military reform in wartime. As for the end of the war, the war has already been fought, so what is there to reform?

As a traditionally conservative country, the Alpha Kingdom itself is not suitable for radical reforms.

The basic national conditions of the princes everywhere determine that any reform will be difficult to replicate on a national scale.

As if thinking of this, Count José, who was originally in high spirits, nodded helplessly and did not continue to dwell on this sensitive topic.
