Chapter 121, Debt of Affection

"What reinforcements are coming?"

Hudson asked incredulously.

The reinforcements of the Terran Alliance have been grinding in the Principality of Moxi for two months, but there has been no movement. It's hard not to be surprised that you've arrived at the front line so quickly.

In fact, this "fast" is also relative. Hudson was still on his way to the Northlands, and they were already on their way.

I came all the way to Fort Augustus, and then stopped. It was not until the Northern Expeditionary Army decided to break through that they acted again.

Calculating the distance, when they arrived at Bauhinia Pass at this time, it could only be regarded as a normal marching speed.

"Yes, Count. This is a document from the Bauhinia Pass defenders, and the rest of the Terran Alliance reinforcements from various forces."

Receiving a thick stack of paperwork from the herald's hand, Hudson was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

The bureaucrats of the Terran Alliance Council did not appoint a military commander-in-chief, and all the reinforcements were in their own hands.

Now he suddenly understood why the Orc Empire was so active and could continue to exist.

If the Terran Alliance had been playing like this, it would have been able to destroy the Orc Empire.

There are more than 100 large and small forces in the alliance, and the difficulty of coordinating internal relations alone is enough to suffocate people.

There is no unified military commander, everyone plays their own game, and they can still beat the orcs back, purely by relying on strength.

There is no point in getting angry, the paperwork still has to be read. These are all official documents, and each document represents a party.

After a cursory glance at the similarities of the parties, Hudson's patience had been drained.

Just looking at the pile of documents in front of him, he knew that the biggest task in the next step was not to fight, but to coordinate the reinforcements of the Terran Alliance.

It was impossible to reply to the letter by hand, and he had to write more than a hundred letters, and I guess I would want to go to bed tonight.

"After such a long journey, you guys should go down and rest first! Tom, summon the noble officers above the rank of viscount in the army to come over and discuss the matter."

Deliberations are nonsense, and helping to write official documents and replies is what they need to do.

This kind of delicate work can only be done by middle and high-level aristocrats. If it is handed over to the younger brother below, without a certain amount of political experience, the reply can be given back to the accident.

The official letters sent by all parties, although the general meaning was similar, were all routine greetings, and by the way, they put forward their own ideas for the next battle.

But when it comes to the specific details, the focus of each family is different. Out of political respect, it is necessary to respond in a targeted manner.

Before they even met, the workload had increased so much, and Hudson was speechless.

But there are no reinforcements, no need for nothing. Fool people first, this is the right way.

Now that the orcs have divided their forces, they are not the opponent of the coalition forces by leaving them to hunt down some of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

……

In the camp of the Beamon army, Prince Butzweig was enjoying a roast leg of lamb. The spice plate full of spices next to him seems to tell his pride.

In this southern invasion, there may not be much other gain, but the economic gains, the orc empire is still bloody.

Along the way, they were either fighting or robbing, and they really grabbed a lot of good things. ….

Spices, which were once very valuable, have reached Prince Butzweig, but now they have become ordinary food on the table.

In the past, this kind of high-end goods had to be matched with Warcraft meat. Ordinary cattle and sheep are not qualified to be put together with these spices at all.

"Your Royal Highness, Duke Daniel invites you to send troops with you, annihilate the reinforcements of the Alpha Kingdom, take down the enemy's defense line, and then drive straight into the destruction of the Alpha King......

Before the last word "country" could be spoken, the big leg of lamb in Prince Butzweig's hand had already fallen to the ground. Even the mouth that opened wide couldn't close for a while.

The information was so powerful that he drove straight into the Alpha Kingdom for a long time, and he seemed to hear a joke.

Concentrating the power of the entire orc empire, countless beast emperors have fought for it all their lives, but they have not been able to complete the goal.

With only the little strength in their hands, all of them are cavalry, even if they fight all the way into the hinterland of the Alpha Kingdom, they can only look at the city wall and sigh.

After calming down, Prince Butzweig took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and began to calculate.

Duke Daniel, he still knows better. This god of war of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, if there was no special reason, would never have come up with such a fantastical plan.

Thinking of the current situation in the Orc Empire, he suddenly understood. It's not that Duke Daniel's brain is in the water, it's precisely because he's too sober.

The best and only way to reverse the ruin of the Orc Empire is to create an earth-shattering victory.

Victory on the battlefield can not only suppress domestic contradictions, but also stimulate all ethnic groups on the mainland who are on the sidelines.

Neither the Warhammer Kingdom nor the Principality of Moxi are heavy, and if you want to truly intimidate the heroes, you can only use the Alpha Kingdom.

The problem is that it's only theoretically possible. Everyone knows the strategic significance of destroying the Alpha Kingdom, but the problem is that he really can't see any hope of success.

Is this the difference between a battlefield veteran and a god of war?

Just as he was about to say something, Prince Butzweig noticed that his adviser was winking, and in an instant he understood.

"Tell the person who came, just say that this matter is too involved, I have no right to make the decision, and I must ask Empress Beamon to decide first."

Whether it is militarily feasible is still unknown; But politically, he absolutely cannot mix.

If you win the war, you will attract greater jealousy than Emperor Meng, and it is unknown whether you can get out of the way.

If you lose, then not to mention, it is necessary to be held accountable. To be able to legitimately remove a hidden danger that threatens the throne, he doesn't think that Emperor Bimeng will show mercy.

In any country full of barbarism, the struggle for imperial power is very fierce. The rules of order do not apply here, and only the weak and the strong can pass.

It seems that the dust has settled, but in fact, the battle for the throne of the Beamon family has not really come to an end.

As the new Beast Emperor, Alex is limited by his previous personal comments, and his reputation in the imperial court is not high.

There are several other challengers, including Prince Butzweig, all of whom have the strength to threaten his throne.

There was no civil strife, because the current situation was too complex for anyone to act rashly and trigger an unpredictable crisis. ….

Not moving does not mean that you cannot move. Alex wants to secure the throne by either purging his rivals or subduing them for exploitation.

When it comes to factional struggles, it is no longer up to Prince Butzweig himself to say it. Even if he wanted to step down, the interest groups behind him would not agree.

……

In the lion-man camp, around the same time, the Marquis of Ussuch received a similar message.

Compared with Prince Butzweig's delay, the Marquis of Usuch's performance was much more neat.

"Let someone tell Duke Daniel that the great strategic plan he proposed, let whoever likes to do it, don't take me with you anyway!"

Marquis Ussuch said angrily.

Duke Daniel's strategic plan, he didn't understand at all. Experience has taught him that the best way to deal with a plan that he doesn't understand is to stay away.

……

"Your Excellency, you can't go on like this! We have to move closer to reinforcements, or ......."

Only halfway through the words, Earl Pierce still felt the pressure. There was no way, the news of his painstaking blockade still spread among the army.

Although the decision of the day was led by the Earl of Pierce, it was also the common choice of everyone. Even if everyone is in a very unhappy mood, they are embarrassed to accuse him of being the boss on this issue, and at most they complain in their hearts.

But now it's different. Seeing Hudson keep his promise and go around rescuing without selfishness, everyone's feelings are mixed

Finish.

If they don't think they're smart, their losses will be greatly reduced. Especially those nobles who died in the war, their hearts are the most tormented.

People are always accustomed to shirking their responsibilities and are unwilling to admit their villainous hearts, so they simply dump the pot on Earl Pierce.

There is no problem, it is all the bitter fruit that will be brewed under the blind command of this boss.

This kind of self-shirking responsibility in the heart made everyone have endless resentment against Earl Pierce. Now that we have reached the threshold of an outbreak, the slightest mistake will break up the team.

"Alright, let's go over and meet now! But on the Earl Hudson's side, I'm bothering Viscount Oran to send someone to coordinate."

In the end, I was not able to withstand the pressure. Between the safety and face of the great army, Earl Pierce chose the former.

It's a pity that it's still too late, and there are less than 3,000 people left in the team that follows them, and the children of the nobility have also been greatly reduced.

If you want to join up with reinforcements, you will have to face the hunting of orcs and armies. In the end, no one can say how many people will be left.

Even if there are still soldiers scattered in other places, but under the continuous pursuit of the orcs, it is difficult to think that the men and horses who can finally be gathered are more than 10,000.

Such a heavy loss was a fatal blow to most of the nobles in the province. Including the Dalton family and the Holliser family.

It can be said that apart from Earl Pierce, Viscount Oran's heart is the most complicated.

Like most of the middle-class nobles who have a chance to replace him, he originally wanted to secretly pit his teammates and clear the obstacles on the road to revival for his family.

didn't expect that without his help, everyone would lose a lot together.

At the last moment, he had to ask his son-in-law for help. If Hudson follows the plan agreed upon by both parties, the Holliser family will have to be cool.

There is no family affection in front of interests, and the world of nobility is realistic. Stabbing a knife in the back is a daily operation, not to mention just seeing death and not saving it.

"No problem!"

No matter how complicated his heart is, Viscount Oran still responds to it. It's just that deep down, it inevitably made a note on Earl Pierce.

I just released other people's pigeons, and now I want someone else to lend a hand, which is obviously embarrassing people.

Now let him intervene to coordinate, obviously to use the special relationship between him and Hudson to break the deadlock.

After all, in-laws are involved. If he didn't pay any attention, Hudson would have wanted to mingle in aristocratic circles.

Aristocracy is a relational society, and no one wants to befriend a guy who doesn't know each other. Even if it's just to look good, you have to lend a hand.

Everyone has nothing to lose, the only thing that is damaged is the face of Viscount Oran. But in the face of the eager eyes of the nobles in the province, he really couldn't say no.
