Chapter 91: Upheaval
"What?"
"The orc army has withdrawn!"
Hudson couldn't help but exclaim.
They were all ready and were about to do a big job, but when it was about to be launched, the orc army actually didn't come.
The roads have been cut off, and now it's too late to send troops to chase them. There is no point in arranging for a small group of cavalry to raid the trail.
"Yes, Your Excellency. This morning, the orc army suddenly returned the same way it came. The walk was in a hurry, and even some of the siege equipment carried by the army were thrown in the middle of the road, as if something drastic had happened in the rear. ”
Viscount Kenny's words reminded Hudson of the good news he had just received.
If there were those old antiques in front of them, and the army of the Alpha Kingdom would follow all the way into the Orc Empire, then it would make sense for the enemy to withdraw.
The destruction of the Duchy of Moxi is important, but compared to its own nest, it is not worth mentioning at all.
The orc army is playing genocide against the Terrans, and the Terran army is not the same for the orcs?
The hatred that has accumulated between the two sides for countless years has long been as deep as the sea. If there is a chance to enter the orc empire for revenge, the kingdom will never give up.
Hudson would not be surprised that the defeat of the General Battle would inevitably trigger a chain reaction that would lead to the collapse of the orc army entrenched in the Alpha Kingdom.
After this defeat, although the orc empire was not weak enough to be powerless, their interior was really empty.
Relying only on the rout of the troops withdrawn from the Alpha Kingdom, coupled with the remaining troops within the Orc Empire, there is a high probability that it will not be able to stop the great counterattack launched by the kingdom.
Against this background, it is very necessary to withdraw the troops at the front.
Man is not as good as heaven, the withdrawal of the orc army, all Hudson's deployment, is now useless.
Everything happened, and Hudson could only comfort himself: if he didn't fight a battle, he picked up the position of commander of the coalition forces for nothing, and he didn't lose anything!
Looking at the map on the wall, he was already in silent mourning for the Warhammer Kingdom. The Duchy of Moxi can be abandoned, because it is now unprofitable for the orcs.
But the Warhammer Kingdom is different, there are still more than 100,000 orcs in their country. Basically, they are all valuable elite divisions, and if these troops are not brought out, the orcs will definitely not retreat with confidence.
This kind of thing can't be discussed with the Warhammer Kingdom: let the family open the defense line and let their troops out, right?
It's okay not to discuss, but if you go, people will only block you from working harder. No matter how many conditions were promised, there was no point, and it was impossible for the Warhammer Kingdom to be at ease with the orcs.
What's more, the Terran Alliance is still watching from the side, and if you let the orc army leave, you will be labeled as colluding with the orcs, so don't think about mixing in the alliance.
If you can't discuss it, you can only forcibly break through the defense line of the Warhammer Kingdom and forcibly lure the army out.
Of course, there is another option, which is to let the orc expeditionary force that has penetrated deep into the Duchy of Moxie return along the same path to bypass the defenses of the Warhammer Kingdom.
The barriers to the road are gone, but the distance that needs to be walked has increased by thousands of kilometers out of thin air.
Not to mention the delay, you have to ask the local snakes along the way, willing to let them go.
The Duchy of Orton is not qualified to stop them, but it is difficult to say when they arrive in the Duchy of Moxi. As long as Hudson is still the manager, it is certainly impossible to let them go back.
Leaving behind the main force of more than 100,000 orcs, Hudson did not have such a good appetite, but it was very easy to delay for twenty or thirty days.
Coupled with the time it took for the orc army to hurry, reinforcements from the Alliance also came. The two sides work together to eat these armies, and it is not a problem at all.
Estimating that the orcs had also weighed the pros and cons, they were not sure that they would destroy the Duchy of Moxi before the Alliance reinforcements arrived, so they turned around and bullied the Warhammer Kingdom.
Vaguely, Hudson felt that there was a merit for this. The "aura of a famous general" has a great bonus effect when evaluating military strength.
Even if the "No. 1 General" has a lot of moisture, but it is all that has been blown out, and the Bear Man Imperial Court and the Beamon Imperial Court can't slap themselves in the face!
Even if you squeeze out the water, it is a fierce level. No amount of special reasons can erase Hudson's actual military achievements.
The same "famous general" who can play is a waste of time, it is better to bully those who have no record, and the winning rate is even higher.
Who made Warhammer Kingdoms fail in performance? gathered an army of 700,000 people, and was led by the nose by the orc expeditionary force, which was completely to help the orcs boost morale.
Especially now, relying on piecemeal tactics, this 700,000-strong army has been consumed by a quarter. Judging from the current battlefield situation, before the Warhammer Kingdom completes its strategic shift, the army will be almost consumed.
Compare them to see who is more like a soft persimmon.
"Guards, immediately send down the order and inform all units to cancel all military operations!
Viscount Kenny, you continue to keep an eye on the orc army until they leave the Duchy of Moxi. ”
Hudson ordered decisively.
The enemies have all fled, and the plan naturally does not need to continue. But the monitoring still has to continue, and the rest will be waited.
The battle is not to be fought, and Hudson will not resign immediately from the position of manager. Being able to stay in the position for an extra day counts as much as possible, and taking the opportunity to brush up on prestige is the king.
In any case, it has always been difficult to appoint the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and it is even more difficult to remove him from his post. Even if someone wants to pick peaches, they don't dare to act rashly.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries were involved, and Hudson could have been in position until the end of the war without making a big mistake.
This is an important political qualification, and it can also be applied when you return home, and you will be directly on the list of candidates for the commander of the kingdom.
……
"Wow Wow ......"
"Kill!"
Amid cries mixed with shouts of killing, the Beamon cavalry drove the army of refugees and captured a Terran city.
Prince Butzweig was already immune to this scene, and even liked this "alternative music performance" a little.
Facts have proved that his plan to go deep into the hinterland of the human race to carry out sabotage is completely feasible. Small countries have been swallowed up directly by the influx of refugees.
With each victory, the ranks of refugees grew stronger. Before he knew it, he had amassed an army of millions of refugees.
Under the impact of refugee flows, the production and economies of many small countries along the route have been devastated.
There were only a few fortified cities left, and they could be preserved, but Prince Butzweig did not want to waste his precious time on a few meaningless cities.
Looking at the chaotic siege procession, Prince Butzweig smiled slightly. He likes to see the Terrans killing each other and consuming their strength in vain.
"The army of refugees is almost gathered, and it should be appropriate to cause some trouble for the Alpha Kingdom. If we continue to delay like this, I am afraid that the situation on the front line will not be able to support it. ”
Prince Butzweig was busy thinking to himself when a voice suddenly interrupted his train of thought.
"Your Highness, it's not a good thing! There is news from the Imperial Court that our army on the front line of the Alpha Kingdom has suffered a heavy defeat, and even His Majesty is now in ...... of life and death."
Before anyone could finish speaking, Prince Butzweig stood up from his position, stepped forward, grabbed the paperwork and looked through it.
The real situation is even more cruel than what people described. The defeat of the general battle directly brought the orc empire to the edge of the cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall and fall to pieces.
In particular, the unknown life and death of Emperor Beamon made Prince Butzweig feel anxious. The matter of seizing the throne will be put aside for now.
Without Emperor Bimeng in charge, the crown prince, who can only eat, drink and have fun, wants to deal with the current complicated situation, he is not optimistic at all.
Stereotypes are not easy to change. Even if Crown Prince Alex performed very well on the front line, the prejudice that had long been developed still affected Prince Butzweig's judgment.
The situation is difficult, and internal strife is about to arise, which is really worrying.
These negative emotions did not last long before Prince Butzweig recovered. The problems that may be faced in the country are not something that he can change, the key is the current troubles.
There was an influx of refugees, but as the situation collapsed, it was difficult for the original plan to meet expectations.
The Alpha Kingdom is not a small country, and without the cooperation of the front-line army, it is too difficult to destroy a kingdom with just a group of refugees.
You can't kill the enemy, and the probability of being killed by the enemy is very high.
The imperial court has decided to withdraw its troops, and it is almost inevitable that they will stay in the hinterland of the human race for a long time, and bury their bones elsewhere.
Beamon's legion wreaked havoc in all directions, provoking countless enemies. These small countries may not dare to attack at other times, but the enemy will find out that they want to escape, and it is necessary to cause chaos along the way.
In particular, the route borrowed from the Duchy of Moxie has now been blocked by Hudson. Only by running to the Warhammer Kingdom and joining up with the troops over there can it be possible to tear through the enemy's defenses and break out.
"Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately march towards the Alpha Kingdom!"
Prince Butzweig ordered decisively.
It took so long to set off a wave of refugees, and it can't be in vain. No matter how much trouble you can cause to the enemy, you have to take it out and test the effect.
The drowsiness came, and a small chapter was posted
