The situation was at a stalemate, and the first to be unlucky was the Northern Expeditionary Army. Perhaps in order to put pressure on the Alpha Kingdom, the orcs intensified their attack.

Countless cannon fodder races were continuously sent to the battlefield, as if they were going to grind the Northern Expeditionary Army to death.

"Don't worry, the orcs are running out of skills. The soldiers on the battlefield are fast, our reinforcements are on the way, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us.

In the past, they would have sent their main forces to fight us in a decisive battle, and it was impossible to be so abrasive! ”

Marshal Campbell boosted morale.

If reinforcements are really on their way, this slow-paced war of attrition is obviously strategically undesirable.

It's a pity that all the big nobles present are understanding people, and they can't fool at all.

Although everyone is trapped here with the army, it does not mean that they have completely cut off their contact with the country.

The Alliance's reinforcements have been delayed, and the Kingdom's organization has limited reinforcements and is not capable of relieving them from the siege.

At this critical moment, it was not the nobles of the Northland who were most panicked, but the nobles of the central and southern parts of the kingdom who were more worried.

Because they are located on the frontier and need to worry about the orcs attacking their lair after returning to their master, the nobles of the Northland also left some elites at home.

The people who really poured out of the nest and picked up the cheap ones were mostly the nobles in the central and southern regions. After all, the front is a tailwind battle that you know you will win at a glance, and no one thought that there would be changes in the back.

If everyone really loses a lot together, the nobles of the Northland, who originally suffered heavy losses in the war, will be able to turn the tables against the wind and occupy an advantage in the next domestic competition.

The only exception was the Duke of Pias. Ever since he received the news of Hudson's arrival in the Northlands, he had not been in a relaxed mood.

The two families are feuding, and from the information he has gathered, he knows that Hudson is not a lord who repays grievances with virtue. If there is a chance to make a move, he will definitely not be soft on the Lockonard family.

Fortunately, the orc army can't afford to invade the Alpha Kingdom now, otherwise the supreme commander of the northern defense line will be replaced by his own enemy, and the Lockonard family will be in a tragedy.

"Marshal, it's not an option to wait like this. It will take some time for reinforcements from the Terran Alliance to arrive, so it is better to urge the kingdom's reinforcements first.

We don't expect them to be able to relieve the siege for us, as long as they appear near the orc army, they can disperse the enemy's forces and reduce the military pressure on our side! ”

Duke Pias stubbornly proposed.

This is a typical bad idea, but for the sake of his own interests, he can only do this.

Only by luring Hudson away can the safety of his lair be guaranteed, and the province is worried about being cheated at any time.

"Duke Pias, the situation of the Kingdom's reinforcements is very complicated, except for a few legions in the hands of Earl Hudson, which have some combat effectiveness, the rest are all newly formed legions.

You all have your own channels of information, and you probably have heard about it. On the march, these new legions caused a lot of trouble.

It can be said that it is a disgrace to the army of the kingdom, counting on them to come to the rescue......"

Marshal Campbell vetoed decisively.

The Northern Expeditionary Force is already in danger, and in the unfortunate event that it is completely destroyed, the military strength of the Alpha Kingdom will fall to the bottom.

In this context, if the last support army is compensated, the days to come will not pass?

As a member of the royal family, he had to consider the interests of the kingdom first and foremost. The grievances between the nobles, he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

The five dukes of Northern Xinjiang are united in the same spirit, and it stands to reason that everyone should support at this moment. The reality was that a few people closed their eyes as if they hadn't heard anything.

Everything is a benefit, and it is the Locknard family that has a blood feud with the Coslow family, and everyone can sell favors, but if you are directly involved in the conflict, you have to negotiate the conditions.

There is no impermeable wall, and no one can guarantee that today's conversation will not reach Hudson's ears.

If they provoke others in a hurry, they deliberately plant mines when they are carrying out military deployments, and it will be a tragedy to trap them.

There is no way, similar things have been done countless times by the five major families in the past years, and they really dare not test Hudson's discipline.

This is the deterrent effect of the "halo of famous generals", and if it is replaced by a military scrap, everyone will not have such worries.

"Selling teammates" is also a technical job, especially selling teammates reasonably and reasonably, which makes people unable to pick out the thorns, and it is a test of micro-manipulation ability.

Out of fear of Hudson, everyone would rather secretly help the Lockonard family than jump out directly to get involved.

In this regard, the Duke of Cavadia felt the deepest, his own bastard son with good ability, but he was tossed by Hudson when he was in the southeastern province.

Even if the Sith got the position of county guard and won the support of the nobles of the northern frontier, he had the upper hand militarily at the beginning, and finally had to quit in disgrace.

What made the Duke of Cavadia jealous was not only Hudson's military command ability, but also his strategic layout ability and ability to dig into the wall.

Quietly, he put the Sith in the pit, and in the end, he didn't even have the ability to resist and struggle, so he could only stop the loss in time.

Even preparing a team for his son ended up cheapening Hudson. If he hadn't pushed behind the scenes, how could so many young heroes have gone to the southeastern province?

After suffering such a big loss, Duke Cavadia naturally would not swallow his anger. It was only out of fear of Hudson that he did not make a move.

The Dalton family took the lead against Hudson, and he chose to support it; Now that the Lockonard family is coming forward, he also expressed his support.

However, this support is limited to the secret, and on the surface, it is pretended that nothing happened, as if nothing had happened.

……

Nadersenburg, located in the north-east of the province of Credler, atop the Hrenladen Mountains.

The castle is surrounded by undulating hills, and the terrain is very dangerous, and only a three-meter walkway in front of it can be passed.

On the south side of the foot of the mountain is the Obugai River, which flows under the cliff of 100 meters on the south wall of the ancient city, and it will make people dizzy when they stand on the wall and look down.

As the headquarters of the Loonard family, it has been passed down from the time of the Empire of Light to the present.

After dozens of sieges by the orc army, it has always stood tall, and it can be called an "immortal monument" in the northland.

To be able to take such stubborn roots here, in addition to Fort Nadson's dangerous terrain and avoiding strategic locations, the strength of the Lockonard family is also an important factor.

It's just that at this moment in Fort Nadson, the atmosphere is particularly dignified. Even if the city was besieged by the orc army, I had never seen everyone so nervous.

Unlike previous enemies, this time the enemy is directly exempt from terrain restrictions. No matter how majestic the city of cliffs is, it is equivalent to giving it to the dragon for nothing.

"Torsten, we just had a bloody battle with the orcs, and now half of the family's troops are in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and no one can say how much we can withdraw.

It's really not suitable to make enemies now, otherwise discuss with the clan elders, negotiate terms with the dragon outside, and spend money to buy peace. ”

Listening to his mother's words, Tolsten fell silent. As the heir to the family, he has a lot to think about.

With the strength of the Loonard family, driving away a giant dragon is not a problem at all, but changing to a dragon king is another matter.

Confession may seem like a good choice, but the price to be paid is the prestige of the Loonards.

Originally, their reputation in the aristocratic circle was not good, and what they could get along with was their strength. If the strength is gone, the future life in the kingdom will not be easy.

After hesitating, Tolsten said slowly: "I know Mother." I'll test the dragon's appetite first, and if I can talk about it, I'll be considered ruined. ”

I have to admit that Maxim's appearance is born to do business without capital. With the huge size of more than 70 meters, it can really scare many people.

From this point of view, the special education carried out by the Dragon Mother for him is not without reason.

Before Tolsten stepped out of the room, the dragon flames that fell from the sky caused chaos in the city.

There is no way, who makes them not fast enough, and Maxim is not some patient dragon.

If you don't see anyone reply, of course, you have to solve the problem in your own way.

The dragon's flames erupted, and in an instant a fire broke out at Fort Naderson.

Unfortunately, Maxim missed a point, and the warning can not only be frightening, but also attract the enemy's counterattack.

The defenders who have been fighting with the orcs for a long time have a first-class reaction speed. After discovering that the dragon was attacking, the officers below spontaneously organized a counterattack.

Crystal Cannon, Magic Crossbow, Trebuchet...... Whether it worked or not, all of them beckoned to Maxim.

The huge body increases the efficiency bonus for Maxim when fighting creeps; Similarly, when being beaten, it is inevitable to increase the enemy's hit rate.

As soon as he was not careful, he was hit by the enemy's magic crystal cannon, which was a little attack that would kill the dragon, but the pain made Maxim scream.

"Damn reptiles, you dare to attack the great Maxim, you are all going to die!

No, death is not enough, I will burn your souls for a thousand years......"

The red dragon who was angry had forgotten the purpose of coming out this time at the moment, and also launched the most fierce revenge in the midst of the angry scolding.

The bloody battle began, and Tolsten, who originally wanted to negotiate, completely extinguished the idea of "resting the dragon".

It's not enough to die, it's necessary to burn their souls, so what's the point?

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you go and ask the clan elders to help!"

While reprimanding his men, the strong men of the Lockonard family have already appeared on the battlefield. It's hard not to get their attention to such a big movement.

Seeing Maxim's huge size, the white-haired old man led by him was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Dragon, there is something to ...... business."

It's a pity that they didn't finish speaking, and they were greeted by a tail, which frightened several people to dodge quickly.

If you don't have to talk about it, you can only fight. Soon they realized that something was wrong, and the strength of the dragon in front of them was completely disproportionate.

Under normal circumstances, a single blow from the Dragon King would have been enough to kill any of them, but the thing in front of them only injured them.

"Don't be afraid, this dragon should be injured and unable to exert its full strength!

The attacks of the magic crystal cannon and magic crossbow continue, all ordinary attacks are stopped, and the knights above the silver can stay and participate in the battle! ”

The white-haired old man hurriedly commanded.

A dragon with rough skin and thick flesh, he is a professional at torturing and killing small soldiers. If the red dragon in front of him is allowed to toss, the defenders will have to suffer heavy losses.

Even after the reaction, the damage was done. Not too many people died directly under the claws of Maxim, but the fireworks all over the city made it impossible to hide.

The weird dragon flame is not something that can be extinguished by watering at all. There are not enough water mages in the city, so they can only be buried with earth.

However, the widespread fires and a little dust were a drop in the bucket. Many people died in the raging fire before they could react in the house.

……

"With thick skin and thick armor, it is simply a natural weapon of war killing. If it is used well on the battlefield, the role it can play is enough to defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers!

Especially this talent for setting fires, he is simply the best player to play with the fire company......"

"Cut, this dragon is a piece of waste! rushed in so stupidly, I didn't know that the sneak attack hit the stuffy stick, and it deserved to be beaten!

If Uncle Ben were to make a move, these old guys would have died a long time ago, how could they give them a chance to besiege......"

Hidden in a special cloud and mist, a person and a bear commented wantonly. Especially Bear Stearns, who hated dragons and couldn't become talents, was even more cute.

Spit and complain, but Hudson has no intention of making a move.

The aristocratic infighting is also principled, it doesn't matter if you secretly borrow a knife to kill people, you will participate in it in person, and the nature will change.

As for helping the Lockonards against Maxim, it is even more impossible. His discipline is not yet high enough to save even the enemy,

"Let's go, Bear Stearns. This scene is coming to an end, and when the stupid dragon below comes to his senses, he will run away.

If we don't leave here, we're going to be discovered. ”

Hudson said, stroking the bear's head.

I have to admit that this gravity magic is just very useful. It's obviously earth-based magic, but it can actually make people fly.

It's a pity that the threshold is too high, and a strong person who can use gravity magic to this level doesn't need chicken ribs at all.

At the very least, Hudson's earth-based magic was not up to this level, but it was wind-based magic, which allowed his budding magician to gain the ability to fly for a short time.

The only problem was that the after-effects were a bit bigger, and Hudson crashed into a tree more than once while practicing flying.

Thankfully, he had the foresight to get Bales to the front every time. Even if there is a collision, the tree is gone.
