If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who created the problem. The Principality of Moxi is powerless against the orc army that started it, so it can only start from its own family.

Looking out the window, after hesitating for a long time, Chris IX said helplessly: "According to Marshal Hodge's proposal, carry out the strong wall Qingye."

Tell the nobles that the orc army is here. The Principality's darkest hour is coming, so get them ready.

In the face of the invasion of the orc army, the Alpha Kingdom can survive it, and so can we.

Whether it is rushing to transport grain or repairing the fortress, it is too late in time.

Migrate serfs!

There is no need to leave everyone for the burial. Except for the young men who stayed behind to defend the city, the rest were transferred to the south.

Let the nobles along the way, provide them with supplies, and all consumption is settled by the principality and them.

Serfs migrated, and the principality only made suggestions, not coercion. If the food problem can be solved, all the people can be left behind.

The castle fortresses in the occupied area have almost all fallen. As it turned out, our preparations were not enough to withstand the orcs.

Scattered garrisons will only be easily broken by the enemy. Nobles from all over the country were allowed to move closer to each other with the county government as a unit and stick to a fortified city.

If you think you have outstanding strength, you can garrison your castle alone, or even take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the orc army. ”

Except for the strong wall Kiyono, which must be forced, the rest of the orders are all suggestions, which are enough to prove the contradictions in Chris IX's heart.

The fortified clear field is a strategic material. If you don't clean up the crops in the field as soon as possible, and wait for the orc army to kill you, it will be too late.

No matter how heavy the losses are, it is better than a cheap enemy. The harvested grain is not ripe and cannot be put into the warehouse, so it can be fed to the livestock, which can make up for some losses.

The relocation of serfs is a big project. From the perspective of the area with strong walls and clear fields, there are millions of people who need to migrate.

In feudal times, this was undoubtedly a very crazy decision. Deep down, Chris IX wasn't sure if it would be done.

In particular, the young and strong were still left on the front line, and all the evacuated were old, weak, women and children. Thousands of miles on foot from north to south, attrition is definitely an astronomical amount.

It's better to lose a lot than to fall into the hands of the orcs and be wiped out. Although it was not directly said, it can already be seen from the actual actions that Chris IX has hesitated in his heart.

As a king, he is not optimistic about his country. If this news spreads, it will have to make the nobles of the Principality of Moxi on the front line collectively cry.

It seems that the emigration of serfs is just a necessary means to solve the food problem. In essence, it is still to preserve the living force.

In Chris IX's view, a gap in the defensive line appeared, and it was only a matter of time before several northern provinces of Pingchuan fell.

The only ones who could struggle were the southern provinces of the principality. Exchanging space for time, resisting step by step, may be able to hold out until the reinforcements of the Terran Alliance arrive.

When the time comes to regain lost territory after the counteroffensive, these serfs who moved south will be the main force of post-war reconstruction.

The serfs must be preserved as much as possible, and the nobles, who are the foundation of the principality, must be saved as much as possible.

There is a precedent of the Alpha Kingdom, and Chris IX is still very confident in the future with the help of the Terran Alliance to regain the lost territory and regain the ancestral inheritance.

The strategic deployment made now can't help but pave the way for the future.

……

The Duchy of Moxi was preparing for the worst, and the political pressure on Crown Prince Caesar suddenly increased.

Although no one says it explicitly, the fall of Bethel Fortress and the slow movement of the expeditionary force are inevitably linked.

It is conceivable that once the news is transmitted back to China, there is a high probability that the hat of ignoring the overall situation and insisting on going its own way will be detained on his head.

If he can't remedy it in time, resulting in the failure of the strategic mission assigned by the kingdom, all the prestige he accumulated in the early stage will not be enough.

"Are the Moxies all rubbish? The gap was torn open by the orcs so quickly, and it was simply the defense line of the paper lake.

Now it is Bethel Fortress that has fallen, so will it be Terrance that will fall next time, or will it simply be Dapest? ”

The complaint from the depths of his soul is enough to prove that Crown Prince Caesar is really angry. Judging from the anger on his face, those who didn't know it thought that he was the crown prince of the Duchy of Moxi.

"Your Highness, the orcs are determined to take a fortress, and it is almost impossible to defend it with the strength of a single nobleman.

The Moxies were wrong in their judgment and underestimated the orcs' determination to take Bethel Fortress and failed to provide reinforcements in time.

Slow action and inadequate control of the front-line battle situation are also their stubborn diseases.

This is confirmed from the fall of the Augsburg Line in front of it and the loss of the current Bethel Fortress.

At the critical moment, the Mossi people are unreliable, we must learn a lesson, and we must not let the army sit in a lonely city. ”

Count José said earnestly and persuasively.

It seems to be talking about the garrison, but in fact it is vaguely telling Crown Prince Caesar: The Mossi people are unreliable, so quickly give up the previous unreliable plan!

"Good news!"

"Good news!"

……

The sudden sound of "good news" interrupted the conversation between the two. Immediately afterwards, the guards handed a sealed document to Crown Prince Caesar.

After a cursory glance at the contents of the good news, the cloudy face of Crown Prince Caesar suddenly turned cloudy.

This "good news" came too well.

No sooner had Bethel Fortress fallen, than he received this turning point, and anyone who criticized the expeditionary force for inaction could go straight back.

The encirclement and annihilation of a fully formed Beamon cavalry regiment in a field battle was not only the first time since the start of the war, but even if the time was extended by hundreds of years, such a record was rare.

It's not that the Terran army can't fight, it's mainly a field war, and if you want to carry out total annihilation, you must have the right time, place and people.

With the combat effectiveness of the Beamon cavalry, as long as you don't make a mistake, you can break through and run away even if you can't beat it.

A fully formed Beamon cavalry regiment can be surrounded and annihilated in the field, which is purely unlucky.

"Look, Count! The invincible orc army is actually nothing more than that, not as powerful as the Moxies say. ”

As he spoke, Crown Prince Caesar had already handed the good news to Count José. After all, he was still too young to be able to calm down and write his inner thoughts on his face.

Glancing at the contents of the good news, Count José was also shocked, and immediately recovered.

With this good news, the political dilemma they faced disappeared in an instant.

However, the complaint against Crown Prince Caesar was directly ignored by him. If the orc army is not strong, the three northern kingdoms will not be passively beaten all the time.

"Your Highness, send the news back to China as soon as possible! It is best to send the news of the fall of Bethel Fortress to the royal capital before the news of the fall of Bethel Fortress arrives. ”

Politics is like that, magnifying your strengths as much as possible to cover up the problems you don't want to expose.

"Hmm!"

"Our troubles are gone, but the Mossi people's requests for help still need to be taken seriously.

If they really collapse early, even if we achieve a brilliant tactical record, we will not be able to hide the strategic defeat.

The order was given, and from tomorrow onwards, the speed of the march was increased to forty miles, and efforts were made to rush to the front as soon as possible.

The Beamons have always been eager to retaliate, and sent someone to remind Earl Hudson to beware of the orcs' revenge. ”

In the face of interests, the conflict between the first two is not worth mentioning at all.

Titans, always with more privileges.

Compared with the continuous defeat of others, Hudson's two successive victories have a very different status in the mind of Crown Prince Caesar.

Before that, he wished Hudson had a big heel, but not anymore.

The common interest made Crown Prince Caesar abandon his initial prejudices. Even if there is still a gap, it will only be placed in the depths of my heart.

They all learned from their own fathers, and even the powerful Caesar III was often silenced at military meetings.

Under the inheritance system monopolized by the aristocracy, the talent base itself is not large.

Large and medium-sized nobles who have the ability to cultivate excellent generals, who also master the core resources, have a total of one hundred and eighty in the entire Alpha Kingdom.

With such a small base, it is not easy to train a few generals who can fight.

It is too illusory to expect them to have super high emotional intelligence while being able to fight.

Since childhood, I have heard and seen a lot, and my adaptability will naturally be stronger. There is a threat from the orc army, and the first element now is to be able to fight, and other problems can be postponed.

As for the end of the war, they also went back to their respective homes, and only a few who continued to serve in the army.

Most of the noble generals have returned to their fiefdoms, and they may not be able to meet the king for ten or eight years.

……

In the Beamon camp, Crown Prince Alex's face was gloomy and terrifying. A fully formed Beamon cavalry regiment disappeared directly from the battlefield.

Such an unprecedented thing was encountered by him, a coach whose prestige was already insufficient, and he undoubtedly poured cold water into the oil pot.

"I just asked Roye Yinya to take someone to the bear clan camp to check it out, how did it suddenly disappear?"

There is still competition within the same five imperial courts, and there is a big explosion in the camp of the bear people, so all the clans naturally have to send people to check it out.

It would be rude to send someone from the air to reconnoitre. If you are killed by someone else as a "Terran spy", you can't go over and reason.

Cautious Crown Prince Alex, sent a cavalry regiment directly. Theoretically, such a force would be sufficient for any eventuality.

"Your Royal Highness, there was an encounter between us and the bear people's camp.

It's just that the traces on the battlefield are almost destroyed, and it is impossible to directly determine the identity of the belligerents.

Judging from the position where Roye Yinya released the signal for help, the two almost coincided, and it could be roughly pushed to the side of the battle that was the cavalry regiment led by him.

About three or four hours after the explosion, the bear-people also sent the remaining eagle-men to investigate, and we also found several eagle-man corpses nearby.

According to the information from the dark line, the bearren clan suffered heavy losses in the battle against Bethel Fortress, a main army was almost completely wiped out, and all kinds of auxiliaries lost no less than 30,000.

In addition, there are many strong men who have fallen into the enemy's calculations and stayed in Bethel City forever.

It can be preliminarily judged that it will not be the bear-man clan's black hand. The other three imperial courts have not dispatched the main army recently, and the suspicion can also be ruled out.

It is basically certain that the cavalry regiment led by Roye Yinya should have been ambushed by the elite army of the Terrans, and it was a tragic disaster.

Just as they were in trouble, an Terran army passed by. They were the First Legion of the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force and the newly formed Twenty-third Legion of the Moses.

The two forces have been operating together for some time. The last time the troops sent by the Silver Moon Imperial Court met them halfway, and in the end they were almost completely wiped out.

With their strength, if they are prepared in advance and eat one of our cavalry regiments, they will still be able to do it. ”

Prince Butzweig analyzed with a solemn expression.

Roye Yinya was single-handedly raised, and the Beamon cavalry regiment led by him was also his old department, a proper descendant force.

He didn't do anything, just went out to perform a mission, and he was directly wiped out, which was also a big weakening of his strength.

If he wasn't sure that it was a coincidence, he would have wondered if Prince Alex was going to kill with a knife and take the opportunity to cut off his wings.

Of course, this is just a thought. Although the internal fighting of the Beamon clan was bloody, it was not defeated to the point that for the sake of infighting, a cavalry regiment was given to the enemy to eat.

The entire Beamon clan is less than 300,000 people, and the loss of a thousand-person group at one time is a major event that needs to be reported to the imperial court.

This kind of thing happened, and Crown Prince Alex, as the supreme commander, is equally to blame.

After being silent for a long time, Crown Prince Alex said slowly: "Your Excellency, this matter will be handed over to you.

Find their location and take them out. Use their heads to pay tribute to our fallen warriors! ”

The truth is not important, the key is to find a target to kill and give an explanation to the country.

"Your Royal Highness, the location of the enemy has been determined. Judging from the direction they are heading, they should be heading to the Flying Bear Fort to change defenses.

Count the days, and now they're almost there. It was too late to intercept halfway.

The Flying Bear Fort has existed longer than the Duchy of Moxi. The fortifications were so strong that a storm could not be completed overnight.

And the Bethel Fortress, we also have to be vigilant. The heritage of the old Terran aristocracy should not be underestimated.

My Bimon are all cavalrymen, and they are not good at sieges. It is better to be in the field and look for opportunities to settle accounts with the enemy.

What's more, the Flying Bear Fort is not in our area of responsibility, and the army needs to negotiate with the bear people when they operate across borders. ”

Prince Butzweig decisively refused.

Knowing that there is a pit, and jumping into it, it is definitely not the work of a wise man.

Unable to take advantage of the advantages of the Bimon cavalry, relying only on a group of miscellaneous soldiers to attack the enemy's heavily guarded fortress, Butzweig's brain was not broken.

The task that is destined to be unfinished naturally cannot be accepted.
