Chapter 83: Reinforcements

The bed crossbow strikes, the trebuchet is paralyzed, and the crystal cannon smokes......

In the fierce battles that have been fought for several days, both the Terran defenders and the orc army besieging the city have all paid a heavy price.

Looking at the battlefield from afar, the gloomy look on Crown Prince Alex's face can be seen by anyone at a glance.

The outside world thought that it was caused by the unfavorable situation on the front line and the heavy losses suffered by the Beamon army, but only he knew that the real worry came from his father.

Emperor Beamon's re-emergence from the mountain greatly surprised him. The network of contacts that he had worked so hard to manage was instantly shattered with the appearance of Emperor Beamon.

"Prince", after all, there is still one more word "reserve". Seeing that Emperor Bimeng was becoming stronger, he was originally going to stand in line.

There have been too many negative examples in the past, and Emperor Bimeng has survived several crown princes, and it is not a big deal to add one.

The "Secret Method of Immortality" that is now rumored within the human race is certainly released by the Alpha Kingdom, but it is also indispensable to Alex's promotion.

His own plan is like a child's game in front of Emperor Beamon, and the success rate of the comeback is frighteningly low.

If you don't want to follow in the footsteps of a few brothers, you can only rely on external forces. The emergence of the secret method of immortality is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Rumors are not terrible, what is terrible is that the rumors are close to the truth. What Alex did was just to reveal the information in his hands after artistic processing.

Not only the Terran magnates are ready to move, but even within the Orc Empire, there are many peepers.

If it weren't for the shock of Emperor Beamon's majesty in the past, and the war was still going on, it was not a good time for infighting, and the orc empire would not be peaceful.

"Your Highness, Prince Butzweig has led a large army to the Duchy of Orton, and now that he is out of danger, you don't need to worry too much.

The battle of Dapest, although temporarily lost, is still under our control.

The enemy's Terence Line has almost been taken by me, and only the last big cities remain. After these nails are pulled out, we will settle accounts with the Moses.

The prince's proposal is good, and if the Duchy of Moxi cannot be destroyed for the time being, then let the army turn around and destroy the Warhammer Kingdom first.

If the plan for the wave of refugees goes well, we will not only be able to take the Warhammer Kingdom this time, but we will also be able to disrupt the rear of the Alpha Kingdom and disrupt their military deployment.

If you're lucky, you might be able to wipe out the Three Northern Kingdoms in one fell swoop and take the Northern Continent by chance! ”

The time has come to test the connections, seemingly to persuade Crown Prince Alex, but in fact he is helping Prince Butzweig to speak.

In terms of personal connections, Prince Butzweig, who has been in the army all the year round, has a much deeper foundation than Alex, the crown prince who eats, drinks and has fun.

They are all descendants of Emperor Beamon, and it is still unknown who will be able to sit on the throne in the end.

Especially the current Emperor Beamon is particularly able to survive, maybe Alex, the last prince, will also be the first to see the beast god.

The prince is gone, and it is the turn of the princes and grandchildren to participate in the competition for the throne, and Prince Butzweig has a great advantage. Even if he has experienced a failure, he is still favored by many people.

"Got it, ask General Agustín's opinion. If he thinks that the plan to cross the Duchy of Moxi and bypass the Duchy of Orton into the Warhammer Kingdom is feasible, then go for it. ”

Crown Prince Alex said with a gloomy face.

The old immortal father hasn't been done yet, and the group of juniors below are now unsettled.

Several brothers met the beast god in advance, but the connections they managed were retained. Prince Butzweig inherited the political legacy of a late crown prince.

Alex, who has endured for countless years, naturally will not lack patience. Knowing that now was a good opportunity to suppress Prince Butzweig, he still chose to refrain from it.

There are so many competitors, pressing one will not solve the problem at all. Jumping up and down the well will only make the situation more passive.

As the prince, he has already occupied the advantage of righteousness, just follow the trend, there is no need to do things absolutely.

The top priority is to solve the threat posed by Emperor Beamon first. Without this sword hanging over his head, the rest would be easy.

It's a pity that Emperor Bimeng was too cautious, and he didn't leave him a chance to do it at all, and now he can only expect a little bit from the peepers outside.

The consequences that may result from this, Alex can't think about it so much. Shrouded in the fear of death, his heart wandered on the verge of collapse every day.

……

"Rubbish!"

"It's all a bunch of rubbish!"

"All of them are stupid, and they are still known as the first cavalry in the world, but they are actually ......"

The sound of the bear man emperor scolding and scolding sounded in the camp, and the nearby imperial court officials all lowered their heads one by one, reducing their sense of existence as much as possible.

Seeing the opportunity of snow shame appearing, but flying away from under his nose again, the bear man emperor who had a temper is now a cannon barrel.

The bearman's temper is innate, and the nature of the race cannot be changed by becoming an emperor. It's not just the temper of the Bear Emperor, but all the emperors of the orc clan are not very good-tempered.

Many times the anger comes up, and it is not at all lovely. The good thing is that after venting your anger, things will pass quickly, which is much better than holding it in your heart.

After venting for a while, the bear man emperor, who had calmed down, frowned more and more.

Scolding will not solve any problems. After venting your emotions, you still have to face reality.

The defeat at the front led to the collapse of the plan to destroy the Duchy of Moxi, and there was no point in continuing the original plan.

If it is a cavalry unit, you can also consider whether to enter the Duchy of Orton from the Duchy of Moxie and stab the Warhammer Kingdom.

But the bears sent by the imperial court are all infantry, if you follow the example, it is estimated that the army has not yet gone out, and it will be surrounded by the Terran coalition army.

The Expeditionary Engineer Regiment, which had destroyed the road, had now gone back to rest and no longer dug pits along the way.

It is clear that the enemy is not afraid of them now, and may even be waiting for them to come to the door. Without allies to echo, the little army sent by the Bear Imperial Court alone was not enough for the Terran coalition to fight.

"Pass the order and let Bruno come back with the team!"

The Bear Man Emperor ordered helplessly.

"Cavalry", the Bearman Imperial Court needs a cavalry that can fight tough battles. The Elephant Cavalry handed down from the ancestors is indeed very powerful, but the problem is that the number of Elephants is too small.

Unlike war horses, which can be bred in batches, the Golem's fertility is notoriously low. After reaching adulthood, a baby is born five or six years later, and young elephants need to be domesticated for more than ten years before they can go to war.

Since the fall of the mighty Golem Cavalry Legion at the hands of the Terrans, the Bearren Imperial Court has been thinking about regrouping all the time. It took a lot of hard work to catch a few magic elephants, and after decades of development, the elephant herd multiplied to more than 300 heads.

If you want to recreate the grand occasion of Vientiane back then, I don't know how long it will take. The number of war elephants is insufficient, and the elephant cavalry becomes an embellishment.

In order to really play a role in a big war, you need at least a few hundred war elephants to be able to determine the success or failure of a battle.

There is no doubt that this is impossible for the current Bear Man Imperial Court. The elephant herd still needs to reproduce, and it cannot be fished at all costs.

Now the more than 50 war elephants in the imperial court camp are definitely not enough to attack.

After all, this is an otherworld, and there are so many things that can threaten war elephants. Whether it is a high-level knight, a magician, or a large magic crossbow or magic crystal cannon, it can deal a fatal blow to the cavalry.

Until it reaches a certain size, it will be difficult for the Elephant Cavalry to exert its power. There are many similar endangered arms among all ethnic groups on the mainland.

The Elephant Cavalry was transferred, in addition to serving as a façade, it was more responsible for the protection of the camp to avoid the tragedy of "Horse Riding Bear Camp" again.

……

Watching the retreat of the orc army, the borrowing of the way, Hudson, who had no fighting, suddenly became idle.

Perhaps because of the excitement of the war, the bureaucrats of the Duchy of Moxi were much faster.

The battle exploits and rewards that might have been disputed for several months were originally contested, but on the seventh day after the end of the war, a specific plan was proposed.

There is no accident, except for replenishing some of the ordnance and materials consumed in the war, there is only a small amount of cultivation resources rewarded, and more rewards are "war bonds".

The real reason is much more complicated than Hudson had predicted. Although the Principality of Moxi sold a lot of bonds, it didn't get many gold coins.

After most of the gold coins were in hand, they were immediately traded and exchanged for strategic materials. Even if there are surplus funds in hand, the money is abroad, and it is not shipped back at all.

So much so that now the Duchy of Moxie has money only in name, and the actual treasury does not allow rats to come in and cry, but it is also difficult to feed them.

If you don't have cash in your hand, when you reward the heroes, you can only settle them with bonds.

This is still due to the special preferential treatment given by the expeditionary force as a guest army. When it is put on the domestic army, it is directly recorded in the accounts first.

It can be seen that there are still smart people in the government of the Duchy of Moxi, who know that bonds cannot be issued indiscriminately.

If you have nothing to do, you can only hang around and exchange feelings. Although he didn't like these socials very much, Hudson chose to accept reality in order to make more connections.

"What, reinforcements from the Terran Alliance are coming?"

It's not that he's making a fuss, it's really that this time is too early, when did the Terran Alliance have such a high efficiency?

"Your Excellency, don't be too surprised. Now those who have come ahead of schedule are only the masters sent by the major forces.

They were all stimulated by the secret method of immortality, and after the alliance meeting reached an agreement, the major forces sent experts over one after another.

According to the information we have gathered, the number of masters who have come this time is much more than what was required by the Council of the Alliance.

Especially in the Holy See, it is said that hundreds of ascetics have come out.

Almost all the strong people in the continent who are about to die have come over. With so many strong people gathered, Emperor Bimeng's good days are coming to an end. ”

After listening to Crown Prince George's explanation, Hudson instantly understood. Whatever interests are not interested, they have to give way in front of Changsheng.

Especially those strong people who are close to longevity, when they encounter this kind of thing, they must try hard.

However, to attract so many people to participate, it is definitely not enough to rely on just one immortal rumor, and there must be more evidence circulating.

Vaguely, Hudson discovered that it seemed to be a big conspiracy, and that someone was manipulating something behind the scenes.

"Your Highness, could it be that the rumors of the secret method of immortality are true?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

Two people from different walks of life can become friends and sit here and gossip purely because of interests.

As Crown Prince George also has his own suffering. Under normal circumstances, when the king falls ill, it should be his turn as the crown prince to preside over the overall situation.

Unfortunately, the domestic aristocracy did not trust him, and the young crown prince, including members of the royal family, was unwilling to support him to preside over the overall situation.

In the short term, it is not a big problem to let the ministers of the DPRK and China take power for a while. But once this kind of thing continues, it is easy to have a pattern of "strong ministers and weak kings".

It is easy to delegate power, but it is difficult to collect power.

The current minister is very peaceful and has enough respect for the royal family, and it is difficult to say what the future holds.

Rebellion may not be possible, but the matter of the great nobles overthrowing the king has happened in the continent of Aslanth.

If he wants the future to not be overlooked, Crown Prince George must build up his prestige. In the current complex situation, there is almost no possibility of making a difference politically.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies in the military. Crown Prince Caesar's experience directly blocked the way for Crown Prince George to command the army and make achievements.

If you can't break through from the front, then take a detour from the side. The risk of leading troops to the battlefield is too high, and everyone will not support it, so it's always okay to follow the battle achievements!

Hudson, who was invincible all the way, soon came into the sight of Prince George. Although Hudson failed to change jobs, it did not affect the two to become friends.

Compared with a group of old men, the two are close in age and obviously have more topics in common.

"Whether the secret method of immortality is true or not, I can't be sure. But Emperor Beamon has been able to live until now, and he did use the secret method of prolonging life.

This news has been confirmed.

It is said that in his current state, Emperor Beamon will be able to live for another 500 years. Eight hundred years of longevity can catch up with the elves.

Even if it is used by the human race, if you want to make a discount, it is still four hundred years of life, and those who are stronger than the Holy Domain can live.

Especially for those strong people, once they have such a long lifespan, the probability of further cultivation will inevitably increase greatly.

It is possible to break through the Sacred Domain, or even touch the realm above the Sacred Domain.

Anyway, according to the arcanists, if you continue to cultivate and continue to achieve a life leap, your lifespan will continue to increase.

The specific situation is not recorded in the royal collection, and most of them are wild historical observations, and it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false.

The only proof that can be found in the history books is the ancient epic heroes. Many of them survived for more than 300 years.

However, these myths and legends have had a lot of accidents in the process of inheritance, and the content may be distorted.

In particular, the impact of the 10,000-year catastrophe is the most serious, and after almost every catastrophe, the situation on the continent will undergo drastic changes, and the civilization of many races will suffer heavy losses. ”

Crown Prince George replied, leaving Hudson unsure of how to pick up. The child's greatest hobby was to explore these strange things, and he lacked devotion to the gods.

If it were in the era when the Holy See dominated the continent, a master like him, who openly preached heretical thoughts, would definitely be sent to the barbecue.

However, it was the age of kingship, Caesar III dared to confiscate the papal estates, Charles III was able to question the legitimacy of the pope, and George preached the arcane theory, which was nothing at all.
