"Justice and strictness" is a serious proposition. They are all old politicians in the aristocratic circle, and they can see at a glance the true purpose of Chris IX.

Propaganda can be expanded, but the line cannot be crossed in the evaluation of military merits. This is the foundation of the Principality of Moxie, and it must not be broken.

After all, the is blown out, fooling the ordinary people, but not deceiving the people in power above.

Whether it is the generals on the front line or the princes and nobles in the rear, you can see the moisture at a glance.

If you can't give a convincing result, many things will not be easy to do.

"Your Majesty, our juniors are all children of the kingdom, and they participate in the war mainly to expel the orcs, and they don't care about the rewards for military merits.

Now that the battle situation on the front line is urgent, everything is focused on the battlefield, and it is not suitable to come back to participate in the reward celebration.

Personal suggestion: put aside the matter of the reward for now, and then evaluate it uniformly after the war is over.

On the contrary, the guest army that participated in the war was not obligated to fight for the kingdom, but had to be rewarded heavily as a sign of encouragement. ”

Prime Minister Hercheg said helplessly.

I can't pick it up cheaply. Then it must reflect the "high wind and bright festival" side, and the prestige thing is never too much.

The king's entrustment of the reward to them means that the military merits can only be pressed downwards and cannot be expanded unusually.

As a pragmatic aristocrat, Prime Minister Hircheg had a very simple idea. The nominal reward can be avoided, but the substantive benefit must be obtained.

The war is not over yet, and to talk about fiefdoms is to play bulls. The Borderlands are basically on the front lines, and who knows if they can be taken back from the orcs.

Wouldn't it be a tragedy if the fief he obtained fell into the hands of the orcs and could not be recovered, and he became an empty lord.

What's more, although this military achievement is great, there are many people who can't stand sharing. So many second generations are divided together, and there are very few that fall on everyone's head in the end.

Gold, silver, jewelry, incense cars, beauties, they are not lacking in these big nobles. It is better to accumulate military merits there first, and settle them together after the war.

Compared with these chicken rewards, it is better to take the opportunity to seek a higher position in the army and obtain substantial benefits.

didn't bring it up directly, it was because Helcheg Zai was not sure about his son's ability. Promotions are a good thing, but now in times of war.

If there is a mismatch between ability and position, it is easy to get into an accident.

The newly formed 23rd Legion was able to block the orcs from breaking through, not only because of the smooth battle, but also because the guards arranged by each family for the younger generations also played an important role.

In contrast, it is the military exploits of outsiders such as the Wrightshire Regiment that are easier to deal with.

"Are there any nobles in the Leythshire Legion who want to get a fief in my Duchy of Moxie?"

Chris IX asked with concern.

Elite troops, everyone is greedy.

If he could dig the foot of the wall of the Alpha Kingdom, he would definitely not be stingy with rewards. Even if the reward is heavier, everyone can understand it.

Anyway, there are no ownerless fiefdoms, and now most of them are concentrated in the border areas, and some people are willing to go over to the mines, and everyone is happy to relax.

"Your Majesty, we have secretly contacted these nobles. Perhaps it is difficult to leave the homeland, and the final result is not optimistic. ”

Renato replied with a slight embarrassment.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs worked really hard, but unfortunately everyone mixed well in the Alpha Kingdom, and they didn't even think about changing jobs.

No one is a fool, the land in the northern region of the Alpha Kingdom, everyone avoids it, how can it be possible to run over to guard the frontier for the Principality of Moxie?

Especially the promised fiefdom is still in the hands of the orc army, and it is unknown whether it can be taken back, let alone something to talk about.

Turning around and sighing, Chris IX said indignantly: "That's it, since they don't want to come, then forget it."

The order went down and canonized Crown Prince Caesar as Earl of Augustburg and Hudson as Earl of Moonfall Bay.

The rest of the nobles, look at the titles!

In addition, some fine wine and food were prepared for the labor army, and the state treasury allocated 200,000 gold coins to give bounties to the officers and soldiers on the front line. ”

There is no doubt that such a generous reward must be an honorary nobleman. Although the place name is included, it is only to show "glory".

If you want to become a real earl, unless you really fight the "turning war" in the propaganda, or you will severely damage the orc army on the battlefield.

If you want to accumulate military merits, you have to accumulate at least a dozen victories at this level before you can hope for it.

It's not that the threshold is high, but that land resources are limited. In the situation where there are more monks and less meat, the competition is naturally fierce.

Unless the war is further eroded, more borderlands appear in the Duchy of Moxie.

In a sense, this is also the biggest drawback of the aristocratic military merit title system. When it develops to a certain extent, there will be no land to seal.

If it weren't for the orcs breaking through the defense line of Augustburg and scourging the nobles of a large area of land to the north, the Duchy of Moxi would not have been able to get even a decent fief.

……

"Send the propaganda report of the Principality of Moxi back to China as soon as possible, and by the way, copy a copy for the rest of the legions.

Everyone received the order together, the Wrightshire Regiment has made great achievements, and they are still grinding on the road, what is this like! ”

Crown Prince Caesar said in a good mood.

Although he was unhappy with Hudson's move to treat him as a drag bottle, it did not affect his rejoicing in the victory on the battlefield.

As the supreme commander of the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force, all the victories on the front line have his share of credit.

Correspondingly, if his troops suffer defeat, he also has his responsibility.

To promote the victory of the Wrightshire Regiment is to promote himself.

As long as he doesn't tell the small changes that happened before, no one will know.

In the face of interests, a little unpleasant is not worth mentioning at all.

Instead of worrying about these details, it is better to turn the passive into the active and let this war turn into a prestige booster.

Deep down, the seeds of Caesar's reluctance are also sprouting.

Hudson dared to be tough in front of him, and that was because the Leythshire Regiment could fight.

Since ancient times, the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals have not been so easy to command, and everyone has expected it in their hearts in advance.

If you change to an ordinary legion, you won't have this kind of confidence. Dare to stab in front of the commander, and put on small shoes in minutes.

Constantly urging the next few legions to speed up, that is because Crown Prince Caesar now has no troops at his disposal. No matter how many ideas you have in your mind, you don't have the ability to implement them.

"Your Highness, the six legions have been renumbered according to your will, and the second and third legions of the expeditionary force have now entered the Duchy of Moxi.

At the current pace of marching, they would be able to reach the royal capital in five days.

The Fourth Army also arrived at the border, and was expected to be able to do so within ten days.

The remaining two legions were a little slower. It is estimated that in half a month, he will also be able to arrive at the royal capital.

Compared to other countries, this speed is actually not slow. You must know that the nearest Duchy of Orton, reinforcements are still on the way. ”

Count José persuaded.

As a close minister of the royal family, he didn't want to see the crown prince fall out with the nobles below.

Although the reaction speed of the next few legions is indeed a little slower, it is also a special situation.

With a makeshift team, to be able to have the current speed, the people below are also working hard.

is obviously a cannon fodder army, and it insists on demanding others with the standards of an elite army, isn't this deliberately embarrassing people?

The speed of the march is secondary, and he is most worried about Crown Prince Caesar's use of the cannon fodder army as an elite army in order to show his ability.

Looking at the reaction of the royal family, if the king thinks that the crown prince has the ability to use soldiers, how can he not equip him with a descendant army?

The current situation is essentially that the king has no confidence in the crown prince's military ability, and is reluctant to give him the elite to bring him into trouble.

Sent over to brush up his reputation, in essence, he used the aristocratic private army as a guinea pig for his son to experiment.

If you succeed, you will earn blood, and if you fail, you will lose a few cannon fodder legions, and the Alpha Kingdom will be able to bear it.

The plan is right, but the situation is changing a little quickly.

The Leythshire Corps got off to a good start, and they had already gained prestige for Crown Prince Caesar.

At this time, what is most needed is not to make persistent efforts and create more brilliance, but to stabilize the results.

If you act blindly and make a big defeat, the previous achievements will be in vain.

What the royal family needs to cultivate is an heir to the king, not the so-called god of war.

Military merit is just an embellishment on the king's road, and a keen political sense and mature political skills are what the crown prince needs to have the most.

"Maybe I'm too anxious, the situation on the front line of the Duchy of Moxi is even worse than expected.

Tens of thousands of orc troops broke in, and the defenders didn't report the news in time.

I don't know if it was the dereliction of duty of the aristocratic officers on the front line, or the bureaucrats in the royal capital had a problem, in short, it was very dangerous.

Fortunately, there were not many orcs who came this time, and they happened to be bumped into by the Leyte County Legion, and the hidden danger was cut out in advance.

If the orcs send out an army of 180,000 at a time and sneak in, the defenders on the front line still don't know anything, where do you think they will attack?

More than 200 years ago, my Alpha Kingdom met once! ”

Crown Prince Caesar said with a sneer.

What is the military ability, there is no chance to go to the battlefield, and no one knows what level it is.

But in the history books, Caesar has memorized them well since he was a child. When I met a familiar bridge, I naturally made associations.

After all, the royal family grew up, and there is still political acumen. Finding out that something was wrong, he didn't report it to the Duchy of Moxi as soon as possible.

This kind of shadowless thing, it doesn't take much credit to remind you right, and it's easy to complain if you remind you wrong.

Despite the pleasant time spent in the Duchy of Moxie these days, Caesar did not forget who he was.

"Your Highness, what do you want......"

Halfway through his words, Count José swallowed it back.

Without a solution, this plan is too risky.

It's okay if the guess is wrong, no one knows anyway, and it's better to treat it as if nothing happened.

Once the judgment is correct, the opportunity to get millet from the fire does come.

The question is, with their strength, can they really turn the tide?

In case of a mistake, the Principality of Moxi is directly killed by the orcs, and the orc army drives straight in, and the Alpha Kingdom needs to face great pressure.

"Your Excellency, what if you don't give it a try, what if you don't give it a try?

The Duchy of Moxi is seriously ill-prepared for the orc invasion, and even now, many people's perceptions have not changed.

Coupled with the gap in strength between the two sides, it is unknown whether they can survive half a year if they continue to defend all the time.

Don't look at the fact that there are only more than 600,000 orcs on the front line now, but this number is increasing every day.

Even if all the reinforcements promised by various countries are in place on time, it will last an extra month or two.

If you don't take risks and find an opportunity to weaken the strength of the orcs, it will only be a matter of time before the Duchy of Moxi collapses. ”

Caesar said with great interest.

After coming to the front line for so long, it was the first time he had spotted a warplane. If he didn't give it a try, he wouldn't be reconciled.

Originally, he was not so confident, but the victory of the Kletshire Army strengthened his determination.

Even if the strength of the next few legions is greatly reduced, it is a soldier who has been trained for more than a year, and there is still some combat effectiveness.

Combining the strength of the six legions, joining forces with the Moxies, plus the reinforcements from the nearby countries that are about to arrive, it is still very likely to succeed in eating the lone army of orcs.

Even if the plan fails, Dapest will not fall in a short time, and countries still have a chance to rescue.

The emergence of a substantial threat can also allow the Terran Alliance to make a rescue decision as soon as possible to a certain extent.

"Your Highness, it is best to consult Captain Hudson on this plan.

If we want to encircle and annihilate the lone orc army, among the forces we can mobilize, the most effective is the First Army. ”

Count Jose said stiffly.

I have to admit that the scene described by Caesar is indeed very tempting.

Not to mention direct annihilation, even if it is just to defeat the lone army of orcs, they can reap huge political benefits.

Sending charcoal in the snow is always better than icing on the cake. If the Duchy of Moxi is not in danger, how can their importance be highlighted?

It's just that for some reason, he always feels bottomless in his heart. Deep down, there was always a voice telling him: be cautious, be cautious.

……

After the rain had cleared, and looking at the rainbow rising in the sky, Hudson decided to stay where he was for another day.

There is no way, and the muddy roads are really not suitable for marching. Even if the soldiers could hold out, the vehicles would not be able to stand it.

Deep down, he has complained more than once about the ways of the Moses. This is the lifeline of transportation to the front line, and it is still a pure natural dirt road.

In normal times, muddy roads are not a big problem at all. But now is the time of war, and bad roads will directly affect logistics and transportation.

It's useless to complain, even if you want to build a road at this time, it's too late in time.

The summer flames are poisonous enough, and the muddy roads are almost dry after a day.

As for the potholes, the only way to fix them is to repair them. Anyway, that's how everyone came, and the Moxies were not in a hurry, and he was too lazy to be a villain.

"Commander, there is a team of Mossi sergeants escorting supplies outside, it is said that they have come to work for the army.

The people of the newly formed 23rd Army have already confirmed their identities, and now they are waiting for you to go over and preside over the overall situation. ”

Listening to the captain of the guard, Hudson nodded slightly.

Having won a big battle, how could the Principality of Moxi not show it.

Treat the meritorious people lightly, who will still work hard in the future!

Without much delay, Hudson changed into a military uniform, and Hudson appeared outside the camp tent.

Looking at the half-muddy labor army, it is impossible to say that it is completely unmoved.

Judging by this situation, the labor army must have arrived in the rain.

The fact that the work can do this is enough to prove that the princes and nobles above attach great importance to this war.

The feeling of being valued is always refreshing.
