Chapter 45, the poor soldier Wuha master
Fortress Beuthel, reduced to ruins, once again ushered in a highlight moment.
The top leaders of the five major orc royal families gathered for a final round of consultations on the issue of joint troops.
As soon as the meeting began, the scene fell into awkwardness. are all the sequelae left by the Great War, and from the eyes of the Eagle Emperor who wanted to kill, you can see how much he has opinions about the Bear Man Emperor.
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
The Eagle Emperor's sharp questioning broke the silence. Obviously, the loss of the three thousand eagles has made it difficult for him to restrain his emotions.
Among the five royal families of orcs, the Beamon clan was the most rare, followed by the Eagle Clan, and the total population barely exceeded seven figures.
Although the orcs are all soldiers, men, women, and children can go to war, that's just that.
In the case of the Eagle Clan, the young and the old can't fly after a few flutters in the air.
Losing the ability to fly, the air force becomes an army, and the advantage of the Eagle Race over other races no longer exists.
Three thousand eaglemen were lost at once, which was greater than the loss of the sneak attack on Augustburg that day, and if the eagle emperor didn't say anything, it would be difficult to explain to his clansmen when he went back.
"Confess, what do you want to confess?
The command of the Eagle Man army is in your own hands. They themselves will go into the city, and I did not command them to go.
Your eagle soldiers have suffered heavy losses, so they came to me to give an explanation; The bear-man warriors have lost more, who do I go to to explain? ”
The Bear Emperor replied angrily.
suffered heavy losses, and both of them were holding back fire in their hearts. As a fellow victim, although he understands the Eagle Emperor's feelings, it does not mean that he can accept this accusation.
The bear's temper came up, and he didn't bother to continue to give face. Someone has already been sent to explain what happened. If you love it, you will believe it, and if you don't believe it, he will have a clear conscience anyway.
"You, you ......"
Seeing that the Eagle Man Emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak, he was about to become a full martial artist, and the three people watching the excitement couldn't sit still.
"The Eagle Emperor is angry, and people cannot be resurrected after death. I think this incident is all to blame for the conspiracy of the human race, in a vain attempt to provoke internal strife between us.
At the critical moment, you must stay calm, and you must not fall for the conspiracy of the human race. ”
It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, there is nothing wrong with using conspiracy theories to dump the blame on the human race.
As for how ridiculous this excuse is, the Lion Emperor doesn't care, and the other emperors don't care either.
People are dead, no matter how much they toss, they can't survive, and now it's just a face.
Even if you want to retaliate, you have to find an enemy. Unfortunately, the Earl of Langton, who planned all this, and the tool man responsible for the implementation, were wiped out in the battle that day.
Even if an orc priest took action and personally searched the entire battlefield, he didn't find the remnants of the enemy. If you want to vent your anger, you can't find the right owner now.
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
The two of them uttered disgruntled voices almost simultaneously. seems to be unhappy, but in fact, it is a temporary statement to expose this grievance.
In the past endless years, the internal disputes of the five royal families have not been broken, and countless contradictions have long accumulated.
If it weren't for the pressure of the Terrans, they would have been able to fight on their own. The unity that has been forced by external forces is only superficial after all.
Rush, in the end cheap others, everyone is not so stupid. can dig holes and calculate with each other, but they have never stopped.
Seeing that the farce was over, Crown Prince Alex, who represented the Beamon royal court, took the lead in speaking: "Now, let's talk about sending troops!"
After such a long time, it is estimated that everyone's preparations are almost completed.
According to the previous agreement, my Beamon clan and the Eagle Man clan each sent one legion, and the remaining three clans each sent two legions.
The Beamons will keep their promises, you have no problem, right? ”
As he spoke, Alex set his eyes on the Hawkman Emperor and the Bearman Emperor. In recent days, these two have suffered the most losses.
In particular, the bear-people who attacked Bethel Fortress directly tossed and lost a legion. Sending two corps to participate in the operation at once at present will inevitably lead to a shortage of troops.
After all, while besieging the city of Dapest, they also had to watch their own back roads, and they could not let the Terran army come out of the fortress to make trouble.
"My Eagle people value credibility the most, and what I promised will naturally be done. However, because of the previous battle, several of our regiments are now not in good shape.
The total strength of the legion sent this time was only 9,000 men. It is enough to suppress the enemy's air power. ”
After speaking, the Eagle Man Emperor glanced at the Bear Man Emperor provocatively.
"Look at what, if you Eagle Clan can fulfill your promise, my Bear Clan will naturally not be left behind.
Two regiments of elite infantry, ready to go at any time. ”
The Bear Emperor said dissatisfiedly.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, he began to regret it. The gambling was cool for a while, and the crematorium afterwards.
The five royal courts all have their own tasks, and this time the bearren clan took the Bethel Fortress and took the lead in opening the way to the south, making outstanding contributions to the orc empire.
Originally, I could have asked a few others to share a part of the bear people in the next action, but now I didn't bring it up for the first time.
Although it can be remedied in the future, the matter of the bear people sending two legions is a foregone conclusion.
"No problem!"
"No problem!"
The Lion Man Emperor and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor followed closely. It can be seen that they are in a good mood and are very satisfied with the results so far.
The number of elites of each race has been determined, and there is nothing to discuss about the miscellaneous soldiers. Cannon fodder is not lacking in everyone's hands.
Even in the battle against Bethel Fortress in the front, losing tens of thousands of vassal races, the Bear Man Emperor did not worry about this problem.
The era of tight forces has not yet come. Generally, when there is a shortage of troops, it is in the middle and late stages of the war.
As the battle line continues to lengthen and the reinforcements of the Terran Alliance arrive one after another, the Orc Empire will not be able to support it.
"Since everyone is fine, then the soldiers are fast. Let's go back now and gather our troops and horses, and try to set off within ten days. ”
Emperor Alex said firmly.
There are eight main legions alone, plus everyone's vassal races, even if the total strength is not 300,000, it will not be less than 250,000.
Even on the front line, it is not easy to gather so many troops.
What's more, it is divided into five camps, which increases the difficulty of transfer. It was definitely a challenge to assemble a team and set off in ten days.
……
After getting acquainted with the defense, Hudson once again started the training business that he was familiar with.
Not only did the officers and soldiers of the Rite County Regiment strengthen their training, but also other armies in the city were also within the scope of the training, and even the people who followed the auxiliary did not let go.
All able-bodied men, women, and children in the city, from sixty-five years old to twelve years old, were pulled out by Hudson for military training. It's just that the relative training intensity has been reduced a lot, and it is mainly city defense training.
The frenzied plan of all the people to be soldiers has been completely implemented in the Flying Bear Castle. As the de facto supreme commander, Hudson has completely let himself go.
Opposition is ineffective, and what is played is reckless force. The orcs killed them, but they did not distinguish between men, women, and children. If you don't go to the battlefield with a weapon, just wait to be slaughtered by the enemy!
As a price, the supplies stored in Fort Flying Bear were rapidly depleted, and it was unknown whether the supplies that were originally planned to be used for three years for the soldiers and civilians in the city could last for two years under Hudson's scourge.
Knowing that it was dangerous, Hudson couldn't care so much. Judging from the current situation, the situation in the Principality of Moxi is already quite dangerous, and it may collapse at any time.
The situation in the Flying Bear Fort is relatively good. As the owner, the Erwin family has been operating in the local area for hundreds of years, and the family foundation is thick enough to have so many material reserves.
"Tom, send someone to urge the logistics department, so that they can quickly replenish the war horses for us, and there are still weapons and equipment owed to me."
……
Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet. As a commander on the front line, the big movement made by the orcs can't hide from his eyes.
Regardless of who the orc army is targeting, once the war burns out, it will become difficult to obtain these strategic material replenishments.
There was no way, the hatred was too much, and Hudson had to be weak-hearted. Won two wars, but correspondingly offended the two royal families of orcs.
If this is revenge, he, a guard with a lot of hatred, will most likely become the focus of care.
In order to enhance the survivability on the battlefield, the current Hudson can do anything.
Of course, in addition to improving the city's defense capability, one of the main purposes is to select a reserve source from among the young and strong.
As a guest army, it is easy to say anything else, but it is difficult to replenish personnel.
The fewer soldiers fight, the more dangerous it is for any unit.
Rather than asking the Moses for new recruits, Hudson preferred to train them himself. In times of war, as long as you can win battles all the time, these are minor problems.
Some officers and soldiers were transferred from the Rite County Legion to serve as the backbone, and a new army of unrelegated recruits and an excess city defense corps were added to the Flying Bear Fort.
The recruit corps are all men and craftsmen who are asked from the logistics department, plus some young men drawn from the Flying Bear Fort, and the total strength is only more than 5,000 people.
The organization of the city defense corps was chaotic, and the local aristocratic private army, including the Erwin family, and the men, women, and children who participated in the training, were all included in the city defense corps.
To say that it is a legion is actually a hodgepodge. As can be seen from the name, the characterization of them is - to defend the city.
Combat effectiveness is not extravagant, as long as it can play a certain role when defending the city.
Relatively speaking, the recruit corps is the focus of training.
It is necessary not only to provide replenishment of troops for the main corps, but also to assume the duties of engineering troops. Temporary bridges, paving roads, and building some simple ordnance were all their tasks.
……
A busy life is always full and helpless. He paid close attention to military training every day, so much so that Hudson forgot about the "caravan" he saved halfway.
The result of the cold treatment is to let the Leberon family live like a year. The circle of the upper nobility is not large, how can no one know it?
From the moment they entered the Flying Bear Fort and settled down, their identities were revealed. They were greeted with neither flowers, applause, nor accountability.
No action was taken against them other than that they could not leave, as if they did not exist.
Being ignored was the most terrible of all, and Hudson's oblivion made the Leberon family fall into endless panic.
"Uncle, the situation is not good. Raquel and William had no opinion at all, and all the power of the Flying Bear Castle fell into the hands of the Earl Hudson.
He has not been in contact with us for so long, and I am afraid that the Earl Hudson has great intentions. Once he gets the grip, I'm afraid ......"
Anthony said bitterly.
As a veteran aristocrat, he still has a lot of connections. It's just that now that people are leaving, the principality has not yet characterized the declining Leberon family, and everyone's attitude towards their gang of broken families is also very complicated.
It's not hard to get some news, but it's a little difficult to get everyone to help.
The main problem is that the two aristocratic leaders, Raquel and William, are now in a state of insecurity.
It seems that he has no opinion, but in fact he has to do it. If you give up the dominance, you will lose some face at most, but you may lose your life if you fight for the dominance.
There is no luck in the face of war, what can be done is good, and if it is not good, it will not work.
His own ability and the strength in his hands are not good, so it is not surprising that he chose to follow Hudson.
This is true for the two people with the highest status, not to mention the nobles below.
Everyone is a smart person, and no one wants to die unexplained on the battlefield, so naturally they will not offend the boss for no reason.
The most important thing is that Hudson did nothing about the Leberon family. Although the treatment offered was slightly worse, who let them claim to be caravans themselves?
The treatment of a merchant naturally cannot be compared with that of a noble lord. Along the way, it was the fate of gnawing black bread, and after entering the Flying Bear Castle, he was taken care of by relatives and friends, and only slightly improved.
This kind of improvement is only reflected in life. Before Hudson spoke, no one dared to let them go.
In a day or two, they were able to calm down. After a long time, you can't help but think cranky.
"Let's take a chance to visit Earl Hudson! There are some things that are clearly on the table, but it is more advantageous than the current dragging.
The details of our departure from Bethel Fortress are simply not known to outsiders. As long as you insist that it is a breakthrough after the city is broken, then it is not a big problem.
For such a long time, nothing was done to us. Presumably, the Earl Hudson had not yet found evidence against us, otherwise he would have sent someone to negotiate with us.
It is not too late to make a decision to find out what this famous earl wants from us. ”
The old magister said calmly.
It's just the sadness between his eyebrows, which still exposes the uneasiness in his heart.
Reason told him that this was the beginning, and Hudson was definitely not the only one who was eyeing the inheritance of the Buron family.
If there is a chance, the nobles and nobles in the city don't mind coming up to get a piece of the pie.
No action was taken, mainly the protection of the rules of the game, or the face of the nobility.
No one wants to bear the notoriety of forcible seizure. Even if you want to take action, you have to find a high-sounding reason.
Just because there are no excuses doesn't mean they're safe. You can't do anything to them on the surface, but it doesn't affect the dark hands.
Compared with the convergence on the surface, the methods of the nobles in the secret are the real blood.
There may be moral virtues, but the old magister doesn't dare to gamble.
