Chapter 33: The Beginning of the Conflict

The arrival of reinforcements caused a sensation at the front.

With the exception of the soldiers who were completely numb, most of them saw hope.

According to the official propaganda of the Principality of Moxie, the total number of reinforcements from various countries is as high as more than 500,000, which is almost the same as the number of troops on the front line.

Theoretically, once all reinforcements arrived, the strength of both sides would be reversed.

As an insider, Hudson knew very well how empty the "half a thousand" army of propaganda was.

It's not that the neighbors don't help, it's that everyone has their own difficulties. Being able to send troops over for reinforcements is all taking into account the overall situation.

The Alpha Kingdom and the Warhammer Kingdom are also facing the Orc threat. It is not easy to fulfill the obligations of allies and send reinforcements, and it is difficult to expect more.

A few neighbors are not much better, such as the Duchy of Orton on the side, with a standing army of more than 10,000 people.

It was announced that 70,000 troops would be sent, but in fact, it was scraped together, and 30,000 reinforcements were barely gathered.

The surrounding Ruilin Boguo performed even better, and soon after receiving the letter asking for help, it announced a national mobilization and wanted to come to support with the strength of the whole country.

The mobilization is real, and there is support, and it would be nice to listen to the political slogan of the power of the whole country.

However, a 10,000-strong army was still sent. Although the efficiency has been a little slower for various reasons, reinforcements have now arrived at the border.

Up to now, the Terran states in the northern region have basically announced a nationwide mobilization, and they have also promised to send reinforcements to the Principality of Moxi.

Theoretically speaking, with the strength of all the human nations in the northern region, it is completely possible to have a decisive battle with the orcs.

But the problem is that this is not an addition problem of 1+1=2, the more people there are, the more problems there are, a group of countries shouting for mobilization and support, but few are really willing to contribute.

One slogan after another was shouted earth-shattering, and finally implemented in action, all of them were preserving their strength and fantasizing about others to contribute.

According to the current situation, it is a miracle that half of the 500,000 reinforcements advertised by various countries can be delivered.

It's not that we don't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, but the problem is that we can't help ourselves.

Rushed up in a daze, and wiped out his family, and the next days can't be passed?

……

In the orc camp, the five royal families gathered together.

Ever since the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor proposed to play a big game, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Sheep attack and strong attack are not the same concept.

According to the previous plan, the main thing was to entice the main force of the Duchy of Mossi to come out for a decisive battle by besieging the city of Dapest.

Even if the plan fails, at most some cannon fodder troops will be lost.

But if you take the city of Dapest instead, that's a different story.

No one can sit here, and no one will take it for granted that the capital of the Moses is completely unarmed.

Not to mention anything else, the private army of the princes and nobles in the city of light is not something that can be taken down in a while.

What's more, there are also city guards, palace guards, mage colleges, and chamber of commerce organizations......

At the critical moment of life and death, the human race has never lacked blood and bravery, and the city of Dapest can temporarily pull out tens of thousands of young people to the city.

"The actions ahead have aroused the vigilance of the Mossi people. Now the defenders of their borders have strengthened their guard.

As soon as our people cross the line, they immediately light wolf smoke.

With a large army, it is almost impossible to sneak in secretly.

From the front to the city of Pest, the distance in the middle is more than 200 miles. Once everyone crosses the line, it is only a matter of time before they are exposed.

If you want to catch them off guard, unless all the cavalry or air troops are dispatched, it will be difficult to make a difference. ”

The Eagle Emperor said expressionlessly.

It was clear from his look that he was not interested in a sneak attack on the city of Dapest.

It's easy to send out cavalry and air forces, but the question is who will be responsible for the next siege after a sneak attack?

Don't let the precious cavalry and air force soldiers take up arms and fight the enemy's defenders!

If you can't capture the city defense in the first place, it will evolve into a strong attack.

The Terence City in front of him has not been taken down for many days without attacking, how can it guarantee that Dapest City will be defeated.

"It's difficult to storm Dapest, so it's better to besiege it. It may seem dangerous to go it alone, but if we change our thinking, things can change.

The Duchy of Moxi is a flat country, and the territory is most suitable for cavalry galloping. If we want, we can bring the flames of war to their hinterland.

Counting the days, their autumn harvest is about to begin. The fields are full of wheat waves, and the problem of grain can be replenished on the spot.

On the one hand, he attacked the city of Dapest, and on the other hand, he divided his troops and plundered the four directions, destroying the enemy's autumn harvest. As long as the enemy's logistics are destroyed, the collapse of the enemy army is a matter of time.

To be on the safe side, I propose that you send some more of your main forces over and watch over the Moxi garrison in Terence City. ”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor slowly proposed.

Worried about being cut off from the back road, it was only because there were too few elite troops in hand. If there are a few more teams, it is completely possible to suppress the enemy forces on the front line while launching an attack.

……

The Emerald Palace, receiving good news from the Duchy of Moxi, Caesar III's whole face was red.

It's not easy, after such a long time of fighting, there is finally a neat victory.

Especially this victory, which was completed by the army commanded by the crown prince, gave him a long face.

As for the specifics of the battle, it doesn't matter at all.

The Moses can be promoted, and so can the Alpha Kingdom.

No matter how big the water in the battle record is, the battle picture recorded by the Shadow Stone can never be faked.

The crown prince is not on the front line, he is a proper general who sits hundreds of miles away and strategizes.

It was originally for the purpose of gold-plated prestige, so you can't really let the crown prince go to the front, right?

Orcs never follow the rules, and it would not be a tragedy if the crown prince died on the front line.

When you're in a good mood, you're happy to do anything.

"Has the situation on the Moxies' side stabilized now?"

Caesar III asked with concern.

As a worthy king, he was not blinded by a victory.

The "Moonfall Bay Victory" seems to have made a lot of gains, but for the huge orc empire, it is actually only a few hairs.

The real meaning is not how many enemies are killed, but how much morale is boosted.

"Your Majesty, the internal problems of the Duchy of Moxi may be even bigger than we expected.

Perhaps because he has not experienced the pain of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, there is still a gap between the central government of the Principality of Moxi and the local powerful nobles.

On the surface, it was peaceful, but secretly they were still fighting. The matter of the orc army crossing the border and going deep has not been found out so far.

Overall, however, the situation is on the good side.

Counting the days, the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force should have arrived in Terence City at this moment, and the remaining legions have also entered the Duchy of Moxi one after another.

Reinforcements from the Duchy of Orton have also recently entered the Duchy of Moxi, and reinforcements from the Duchy of Fik and Ruilimbo will also arrive in the near future.

With so many troops, it shouldn't be much of a problem to stabilize the defensive line.

The most worrying thing is their logistics.

The increase of more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops at once is not a small amount of grain and grass.

Perhaps the Principality of Moxi has a solid family background and can support it financially, but how to transport things to the front line is a big problem. ”

The Archduke of Newfoundland said with deep feelings.

The Alpha Kingdom has accumulated so much experience, and in order to raise food and grass materials, there are still many problems.

It was the first time that the Duchy of Moxi had encountered such a thing, and even if there was no shortage of money, food, and materials, it would be a trouble to coordinate the transportation work.

If the army is in place, but the logistics don't keep up in time, then it's a lot of fun.

"These questions, let Chris IX himself slowly have a headache!

They also made preparations before the war, and the reserves on the front line can last for a few months, and there should be no accidents in the short term. ”

Caesar III said indifferently.

The allies are used to block the sword, and since the orcs scattered some of their firepower to the Duchy of Moxi, life in the Alpha Kingdom has been much better.

In recent days, the bad news of the fall of the front-line fortress fortress has basically not been received. Occasionally, the defenders would go out to fight in the wilderness and cut down a few orcs to cheer up.

For the Alpha Kingdom, the longer this good day lasts, the better, preferably until the end of the war.

"Your Majesty, there is news that you may want to prepare.

According to the information we have gathered, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Anne of the Duchy of Moxi is somewhat unusual. ”

Foreign Minister Count Francis reminded.

The royal marriage is not only a matter of two families, but also of two countries.

Especially as the crown prince who is the heir to the throne, the marriage needs to be cautious.

This relationship had just begun, and it was discovered by the expatriate officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it was reported all the way back.

"When the children are older, we are not the parents. Let them pursue happiness on their own! ”

Caesar III pretended to be hearty.

I don't know how open-minded he is, but in fact, it is because this marriage is in line with the interests of the kingdom.

If the crown prince pursues a goal not of Princess Moxie, but of a singer, I am afraid that he will be immediately angry.

In the continent of Aslanth, if you want to "pursue happiness", there is also a threshold.

……

The prelude to the propaganda began, and along with the crown prince, Hudson, a front-line commander, rose to prominence.

Especially in the southeastern provinces, the cause of the greatest disturbance.

I've long heard that Hudson can play a name, but this record is inevitably too good.

Looking at the official letter sent by Wang Du, many people were confused.

Viscount Cailliaud, in particular, was the most shocked.

Others don't know what the Lettshire Legion is, can he, the neighbor, still not know?

Maybe the nobles of Laite County are working harder when they train their troops, but there is still a distance from being elite.

Originally, he went out in the name of elite, and he was skeptical.

In his opinion, the real elite is Hudson's private army, and the rest of the aristocratic troops are just like that.

It's just that he is jealous of Hudson, and he doesn't involve his own interests, so he doesn't debunk it at the expense of others.

As a result, after going out for a walk, the Lyteshire Army not only became a real elite, but also had a good record.

Looking at the battle picture on the Shadow Stone, Viscount Cayo, who was greatly shocked, had to admit that the Lyteshire Legion could really fight at this moment.

Thinking of this, he was depressed.

Perhaps others will suspect that the overall military quality of the nobles of Laite County is high, so they have trained such an elite army.

But he knew in his heart that the nobles of Rite and Wyton counties were all the way. The overall quality is not exactly the same, but the components are surprisingly consistent.

Looking at the soldiers trained by others, and then looking at the soldiers trained by himself, he fell into deep self-doubt at this moment.

Pursue?

As soon as this unreliable idea was born, he dispelled it.

Ordinary people shouldn't be compared to geniuses.

Back in his days at the Academy of Magic, he accepted the fact that he was an ordinary person.

It's just that after coming back to inherit the title, he was praised a lot, and he gradually lost himself.

It wasn't until he suffered a few setbacks later that he slowly returned to reason and re-understood himself.

Putting down the Shadow Stone, Cayo sighed helplessly.

He knew that from now on, the guy who was once seen as a competitor would become an existence that he looked up to.

Even having a higher background is useless.

Troubled times are the best time to break the class, where anything is possible.

Vaguely, he had seen a legend born.

At this moment, he suddenly became worried about the fate of the Dalton family.

……

"What's going on, why is there moldy food in the barracks?"

Hudson asked, almost snarling.

Looking at that expression, it was as if I was trying to eat someone. Frightened, the quartermaster retreated again and again, and for a while he couldn't even speak.

You must know that all along, no matter where they go, these quartermasters are provided by others, and they have never been treated like this.

Dare to make a fuss, do you still want military supplies?

A stunned young man like Hudson, who doesn't understand the rules and doesn't even prepare a greeting gift, can only receive moldy food.

After accepting the beating, the stunned youth will slowly accept the reality and follow their rules.

It's just that this time, the situation seems to be a little different. The person in front of him didn't mean to discuss at all, and he was about to turn his face as soon as he came up.

As if remembering that this was his own territory, the quartermaster, who had come to his senses, mustered up the courage to step forward and said:

"Your Excellency, it may be that it is raining and moldy!

It was all an accident, and we couldn't help it.

Now that the food is like this, you better hurry up and take it away, don't delay your efforts here!" ”

Hearing this, Hudson smiled slightly.

If he is a native nobleman of the Principality of Moxi, he will really worry when he encounters a quartermaster who is colluded up and down.

"Bear Stearns, someone is withholding your rations, or use them as a snack to cushion your stomach!"

As soon as the words fell, a five-meter-tall giant bear appeared in front of him, looking at the quartermaster in front of him with a hoarse grin.

"What are you going to do? Guards, Guards ......"

No matter how the quartermaster shouted, no one moved.

Under the shroud of gravity, the surrounding soldiers were overwhelmed one by one, let alone moved.

Realizing that the kick had hit the iron plate, the quartermaster who collapsed to the ground hurriedly said: "Don't let your bear come, everything is negotiable......"
