After flickering away Marshal Hodge, the battle plan proposed by the Moxies arrived at Hudson, which was naturally put on hold for the time being.

The siege of Dapace is not something that can be solved if you want to.

When it comes to the mobilization of two or three hundred thousand troops, there are too many things that need to be involved, and the time that needs to be prepared is by no means overnight.

As a military boss, Marshal Hodge has too deep a deep understanding of the Duchy of Moxi.

He was well aware of the current situation, and it was almost impossible for the Duchy to keep its foundation by relying on its own strength.

Hudson's proposal, while somewhat refreshing, was indeed a way to save the country. are on the verge of life and death, no matter how effective it is, you have to try it first.

The sequelae that may be involved in the future must also be able to live into the future.

After solving a problem, Hudson slowly opened the official document from the kingdom.

Commendation is a must, although there is no way to calculate the merits of the war, but the kingdom will not be stingy with verbal praise.

After the award, it was the official conclusion of the two countries about the two great victories, and the naming was still as lacking in artistic cells as ever.

"The Victory of the Bethel Bear Clan", this name does not find any merit except for being simple and easy to understand.

However, Hudson can also understand that everyone's knowledge level is not high these days, and many low-level nobles are semi-literate, let alone serfs.

If it is too complicated, everyone will sound confused, and it will not play a propaganda role.

The official "Bethel Bear Clan's Royal Victory" not only explained the location of the outbreak of the war, but also introduced the warring objects and the significance of the war.

As long as the word "imperial court" is mentioned, in the eyes of ordinary people, it must be extraordinary.

In most people's eyes, it is far more convincing to lead troops to storm the Bearren Imperial Court and snatch their Imperial Court Battle Banners than to create a few orc legions.

There is no surprise, the war is characterized as a "turning point" in the war with the Orc Empire.

Frankly, Hudson's scalp tingles when he hears the words "turning point."

There is no way, the last time I just publicized a wave of turning points, my teammates immediately sent an epic defeat.

Although the battle situation in the Duchy of Orton has not yet been reported, experience has taught Hudson that the situation there is definitely not optimistic.

I don't know if there's an avalanche now. There is a high probability that the big victory he has just achieved will be buried by the defeat of his teammates.

Deep down, Hudson had secretly prayed that the bad news would come later, otherwise it would be unclear for everyone to connect the two things.

……

The Duchy of Orton, the bad news finally reached the royal capital, and along with the news, there was also an army of orcs who were on their way.

It was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the high-level leaders of the Principality of Orton were stunned. Although everyone didn't have much confidence in their own army to stop the orc army, the speed of the collapse came too quickly.

Anyway, they had to resist for a few days to prove that they also worked. According to the current situation, even if the Terran Alliance recovers its lost territory in the future, there will be nothing for them.

Weakness is the original sin, even if there is a layer of rules wrapped on the outside, but in essence, the Aslant continent still pursues the law of the jungle.

"The orc army has been killed, what can I do?"

Orton XIX asked in a panic.

As a salted fish monarch, he has never been interested in this kind of fighting, killing, and killing. Now that I have encountered enemy soldiers approaching the city, I naturally don't know how to deal with it.

The performance of the ministers was not much better. The greatest value of the front-line army is to delay the advance of the orc army with a rout.

Effective resistance is not impossible, but under the general trend of the collapse of the army, any individual efforts are in vain.

At the end of the day, it's still too few elites and too many recruits. The few soldiers who can fight have no chance to perform at all under the drag of their teammates.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we can only prepare for the defense of the royal capital.

Either way, we'll have to fight the orcs to prove the Duchy's unyielding spirit. ”

Prime Minister Jacob said stiffly.

It's hard to hear, but it's also a reality. If they don't show themselves on the battlefield, they won't be able to mix in the aristocratic circles in the future.

Not only them, but the nobles of the entire Principality of Orton will die.

Many times it doesn't matter if you lose a battle, if you lose a battle under the absolute difference in strength, no one will laugh at it.

The key is how to lose.

This kind of collapse at the touch of a button, and losing the city and losing ground under fierce resistance, are completely two different concepts.

In the world of great disputes, the nobles who cannot protect one side are a cancer for the human race.

The prime minister made it clear that he was going to die, and the faces of many of the ministers were gloomy, but in the end, no one proposed to run away.

It's not that they don't want to move the capital and run away, but the current situation doesn't allow them to leave.

At this point, all the nobles of the Duchy of Orton have no way out.

If they still can't show a thing or two in the next battle, the wolves who are eyeing them won't let them go.

Once retreated, the future status of the nobility of the Duchy of Orton will no longer be a glory, but a joke to be ridiculed.

Even if you can't win against the orcs, you can only bite the bullet. The only thing that can wash away the shame is blood.

If you don't have enough strength, you can only show the tragic heroic side and win sympathy in aristocratic circles.

Compassion can't be eaten, but compassion can make the major forces leave a bowl of soup for the family behind them when they go under the knife.

"Where's our reinforcements?"

Orton XIX asked with concern.

In any case, if you can struggle, you must struggle.

It is true that the orc army is menacing, but those who come over are elite, and they are not necessarily willing to use it to attack the city.

"Your Majesty, the signal for help has just been sent, and the countries have not yet given a reply.

Considering the problem of distance, the reinforcements of most countries are far away and cannot quench their thirst.

In the few countries that border us, the Mossi are too busy to take care of themselves. The strength of several small countries to the west is limited, and it is basically impossible to count on it.

Now the only ones who have the strength to lend a hand are the Warhammer Kingdom.

It's just that their performance in this war is not active, and it is not easy to get their reinforcements. ”

Dubs said worriedly.

Weak countries have no diplomacy. As the foreign minister of a small country, Dubs has always been under pressure.

It is barely possible to maintain daily international relations. Now if you want all countries to send reinforcements in earnest, it is definitely not something that can be done in a few words.

"Issue a conscription order, let all the nobles of the principality gather in the royal capital and fight the orcs to the death!

As for the others, staying won't make a difference, so let them run for their lives! ”

Orton XIX said ruthlessly.

There is no hope of keeping the entire principality, so you can only give priority to keeping the royal capital.

In a sense, it was also a subtle political exchange.

Let the nobles abandon their territories and run over to participate in the defense of the royal capital, in exchange for the legal evacuation of their families.

Before the order of Orton XIX could be heard, the wave of refugees began early.

Knowing the brutality of the orcs and the need for any organization, the people of the Principality of Orton have already begun to flee first.

The wealthy left in a carriage, and a package from a poor family took away all the belongings.

With the exception of some conscientious nobles, who were still maintaining order, the social order in most parts of the principality had collapsed.

Countless evils are constantly being staged in this suffering country.

……

Fleeing is also particular, and I have seen the horror of the orc army, even if I am fleeing for my life, everyone knows how to pick a strong country.

As a good neighbor, the undefended Warhammer Kingdom naturally became the first choice for fleeing.

The influx of countless refugees has caused the mentality of the nobles in the border areas of the Warhammer Kingdom to collapse.

The forcible expulsion of refugees is not in keeping with the spirit of the nobility. If it spreads, it will affect your reputation.

Generous, his own pockets are not so bulging. In the face of a steady stream of refugees, there is simply no way to save them.

As a last resort, everyone can only make a bad move to lure the refugees to the hinterland of the kingdom.

An aristocrat can't afford the influx of refugees, so pull everyone to bear it together.

They were all forced out, and the Terran Alliance had a rule: in a war against a foreign race, each country had an obligation to provide assistance to the belligerents.

This also includes provisions for the relief of refugees.

Although the enforcement is not very good, the regulations are still regulations, and they still need to be complied with on the surface.

In particular, the Warhammer Kingdom is now one of the belligerents, and once the orcs fight, they will also need the assistance of various countries.

If you make a mistake of principle at this time, you will get into trouble later, and it will be difficult to get help from other countries.

Under the layers of transmission, trouble soon reached the hands of Joseph II.

"Helping refugees?"

It is a pity that His Majesty the Great King is busy considering the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield.

The elongated battle line of the orc army also means that the border between the Warhammer Kingdom and the orcs is extended.

"After all, I still can't hide!"

Joseph II said depressedly.

Since the outbreak of the war, he has saved a lot of face for the orcs. It's a pity that these guys didn't appreciate it at all, and still pointed the butcher's knife at them.

"Your Majesty, sooner or later the kingdom will face an invasion by an orc army. It's just that the performance of the Moses and Ortons is too wasteful to make this war early.

Judging by the trajectory of the orc army, it is almost certain that they will use the Duchy of Orton as a pedal to attack us.

Due to the long-term and friendly influence of the Duchy of Orton, the kingdom did not invest much energy on the western borders.

According to the current situation, the orc army will definitely invade the kingdom in two months or ten days.

It's too late to build a well-established line of defense.

For now, the only way to do this is to set up a few more temporary lines of defense to resist the slow pace of the enemy's attack. ”

Marshal Borg said with a solemn expression.

It was not that he lacked strategic vision and did not take into account the defense of the western border in advance, but the main thing was that the kingdom had limited financial, manpower, and material resources.

Just by building a defensive line with the Duchy of Moxi, the Warhammer Kingdom mobilized half a million laborers, almost reaching the limit of the kingdom.

In the relatively safe western region, the defense issue can only be dealt with later.

Aside from an order to the nobles on the border to be on higher alert, the Warhammer Kingdom was simply unable to provide more support.

Originally, it was planned to organize people to build a defense line in the western part of the kingdom when the fortifications in the danger zone were almost completed, but unfortunately the enemy came too quickly.

"Build a temporary line of defense, that's fine. However, the speed of the military is about to be accelerated, and it is necessary to complete the construction of a temporary defense line before the orc army can attack.

There is a shortage of manpower, so let the nobles on the border figure out a way. Didn't they complain every day that there was a huge influx of refugees, so let them organize the refugees to build fortifications.

It just confines people to the border areas, so that they do not have to wander around and affect the law and order of all parts of the kingdom. ”

Joseph II said indifferently.

In the absence of enough castle forts to accommodate refugees, to confine people to the front line is to send human heads to the butcher's knives of the orcs.

Everything is for the good of the kingdom. If we don't have the ability to solve the problems caused by the refugees, we can only solve the problems caused by the refugees.

……

"Your Excellency, there is a griffon cavalryman outside, claiming to be a member of the House of Hollis, who has brought a letter from Miss Melissa."

As a general in command, Hudson can now barely be regarded as a high-ranking power. Under normal circumstances, strangers are not eligible to see.

However, the current situation is special, and the nobles of the southeastern province know about his relationship with Melissa.

The letter sent by the boss's fiancée, everyone dare not press it and not report it.

"Have you identified the person who came?"

Hudson asked with concern.

As a cautious commander, he doesn't give strangers a chance to get close. Especially at times like these, the letters come by too much coincidence.

Although he didn't have much time with Melissa, he still got to know each other. Under normal circumstances, his fiancée would not stir up a teacher for a letter.

The Holliser family has a rich background, but they still don't have the ability to raise griffins. The few griffon cavalry in the family were traded from the royal family at a great price.

This kind of long-distance dangerous mission, Mo said that it is a noble lady, even if Viscount Oran wants to call, he must weigh one or two.

"It's confirmed, the person who came is indeed a member of the Holliser family. Not only did he speak to him, but there were also people in the army who knew him. ”

Tom affirmed.

Having received a definite answer, Hudson waved his hand and said, "Since there is no problem with the man, then bring him here!" ”

In war, there is not so much tenderness. Even if you are a general in command, it is very difficult to communicate with your family.

Kumon could allow the Mossi to send griffon cavalry to the kingdom, but a private letter would not work.

It's not that I'm afraid of being sprayed with public weapons for private use, but the number of griffin cavalry is too small, and it's not enough at all.

It is normal to rely on messengers for information, and it is normal to delay for a month. The time interval is so long that the contents of the letters become old news.

The most important thing is that Hudson opened this head, and the nobles and nobles in the expeditionary force will follow suit, and I am afraid that the soldiers who specialize in delivering letters will have to get three digits.

"Your Excellency the Earl, Miss Melissa and the head of the family have specially explained that this secret letter can only be opened by you personally."

As he spoke, the person who came had already handed over the letter. However, Hudson did not rush to reach out to take it, but released a spell that left the letter suspended in the air.

After making sure that there is no problem, I slowly open the letter. After a long time, Hudson said slowly:

"Go back and tell Viscount Oran, and say that I already know what happened. It's just that the battlefield is unpredictable, and the real troubled times have just begun, so it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being.

I'll give you the rest in the letters, and you can rest in the city for a day, and help me bring some letters back by the way. ”

After a pause, Hudson commanded, "Tom has ordered to go down and block news about today's events." ”

It's not that things don't see the light of day, but it's mainly because I'm afraid that after the news spreads, a bunch of nobles will run over with family letters.

Although the griffin is a magical beast, its level is not very high. If there are too many letters, it will be embarrassing to find that the pack does not move.

What's more, the nobles of the expeditionary force are distributed in six provinces. This communication work is also a big project.

It is impossible to take the resources of the Holliser family as a favor, and it is impossible for people to have no opinions.

Hudson wouldn't do this kind of rotten good guy.

Picking up the pen and about to write, Hudson suddenly realized that he didn't know how to put pen to paper.

He understood what the Holliser family meant, but he felt that there were not enough radish pits vacated in front of him, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to fill them, so he wanted to dig a few more pits.

The problem is that the big nobles are not stupid, it is a miracle that Duke Liufeng's kind of foolishness can meet one, and it is too whimsical to expect all the big nobles to be at this level.

The hoe is right, and it is the pit that is dug down. If the hoe misses, it is likely that your own foot will be dug down.

didn't pit people to death, but provoked a big enemy for the family, which would be a tragedy.

In all the previous wars, there was no shortage of teammates pitting each other. But this kind of thing is not now, but at the time of the big counteroffensive.

The overall situation on the battlefield has been decided, and even if a few companies are killed, it will not affect the overall situation of victory in the war, and only then will everyone have the heart to engage in infighting.

Generally speaking, in this kind of mutual pit game, the aristocracy who is good at military command can often have the advantage.

The worst ones are usually military novices, and many times they don't know what happened, so they are sold in a daze.

What's even worse is that I was overshadowed, and I don't know who did it.

Originally, Hudson was not prepared to get involved in this kind of, but judging from the current situation, it seems that he still can't hide from it.

Fortunately in the Principality of Moxi, everyone did not share the same piece of cake, and there was no conflict of core interests.

For a foreign general like him who can influence the development of the situation, it is too late for everyone to win him over, and he will not offend him at all.

Once back home to participate in the counterattack against the Orc Empire, the situation is different.

In the case of a serious shortage of radish pits, in addition to the big nobles in front, it is also necessary to pit potential competitors.

In the face of interests, Hudson may be able to remain rational himself, but there is no guarantee that others can be equally rational.

Pick up the pen and put it down, and the letter was soon completed.
