"The last chance, just missed!"

Rejected by his allies, Duke Daniel couldn't help but sigh.

The probability of several families succeeding together is not high, and without the help of allies, with the strength of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan alone, there is no need to even try.

Before he could continue to feel sad, an urgent report from the camp pulled Duke Daniel back.

"Duke, something is wrong. Enemy Aid...... Reinforcements are coming......

Listening to the scout's breathless words, Daniel's already cold face became more and more cold.

Now you don't have to think about it so much.

The 250,000 army of the Terran Alliance + the 200,000 army of the Principality of Moxi has arrived at Bauhinia Pass, and it is almost impossible to tear through the enemy's defense line.

Even if there was an opportunity to bypass the defense, he did not dare to implement it. You can take risks for the generals, but you can't go out with the army to die.

Not only was the plan shattered, but even there was not much time left for them to hunt down the Northern Expeditionary Army. In two days at most, the true elite of the Terrans will appear on the battlefield.

The Swift Dragon Legion of the Libyan Kingdom, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Legion of the Frankish Kingdom, the Earthly Dragon Legion of the Holy See, and the ...... of the Hessian Kingdom

All the extraordinary military branches that are famous in the continent will appear on the battlefield.

The Beamon cavalry is the first in the world, and that is only for ordinary cavalry. Encountering these giant beast legions is also not enough to see.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the number of these extraordinary classes is limited, the cost of raising magical beasts is high, and the most productive Terrans cannot be equipped on a large scale.

In fact, the Alpha Kingdom used to have extraordinary troops, but under the continuous suppression of the Orc Empire, it finally came to an end.

Successive Alfa kings wanted to rebuild the extraordinary army, but unfortunately due to their own financial resources, they had no choice but to give up.

There's no way around it. Since the establishment of the Alpha Kingdom, it has faced the threat of orcs, and the treasury has never been rich.

finally accumulated some family funds, but before they could do anything, the orc army came to the door again.

Tossing again and again, the Alpha Kingdom is either on the way to repay its debts, or on the way to borrow debts, and it has no spare energy to develop extraordinary troops.

However, the number is small, and it is also relative. When the extraordinary troops of the great forces of the Terran clan come together, the scale effect is generated.

The Orc Empire also has extraordinary troops, but that's all at its peak. In the process of being driven all the way from the center of the continent to the borderlands, the extraordinary troops in their hands also suffered heavy casualties.

What is left is just a little seed. Limited by their own financial and material resources, they are no longer able to participate in this luxury game.

The cavalry advantage is gone, and the air force advantage cannot be maintained either. Wyvern, Pterodactyl dragoons...... The familiar names made Duke Daniel frown.

"Pass the order, let the eaglemen keep an eye on the movement of Bauhinia Pass. As soon as the enemy leaves the city, come and report immediately.

Inform the troops and speed up the pursuit of the enemy. By the way, let them gather their troops, and all military operations below the regimental level will be cancelled, and the troops will move as close to the Chinese army camp as possible."

This is a command full of contradictions. It is obviously difficult to speed up the pursuit and kill of the Northern Expeditionary Army and to gather the troops, which is obviously difficult to strengthen the "wolf".

But there is no way, the best fighter has been missed. If you continue to stay here, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed.

If he had divided his troops, he might have thought about concentrating his superior forces and eating this Terran reinforcement, but unfortunately the situation was obviously the opposite now.

It's just a part of the cavalry left by the various races, and the reinforcements who want to eat the Alpha Kingdom have to join forces, not to mention that the enemy has added 450,000 reinforcements.

With more reinforcements from the Terran Alliance, it is estimated that the Alpha Kingdom Infantry Legion defending the city will dare to go out of the city at this time.

After all of them are added together, the total strength is estimated to be able to break one million, and the comprehensive strength is definitely not inferior to the previous Northern Expeditionary Army.

If the Northern Expeditionary Army is not in a hurry to break through and the two teams join forces to attack back and forth, I am afraid that the Orc Empire has already been defeated

。

After secretly rejoicing, Daniel's expression became solemn again. Reason told him that the hidden dangers in the country must be solved as soon as possible.

Otherwise, let the human race and the rebels collude together, and give them an inside and outside cooperation, then it will really be the end of the calf.

Sowing discord and dividing is the usual method of the human race. Under the conspiracy of the Terrans, the great forces that split are not one or two.

For example: Elves.

Before the rise of the human race, although there were also races, everyone gathered under the banner of the elven queen.

However, with the rise of the human race, the internal contradictions of the originally harmonious elf clan were soon stimulated.

Forest Elves, Prairie Elves, Night Elves...... One by one, they all became independent, and finally formed a pattern of three elven kingdoms standing side by side.

Of course, the elves are making trouble, but they usually have a good time, and they spray a few words to each other when they meet, which is far less bloody than the internal fighting in the orc empire.

The centripetal Elven Empire can be divided, let alone the Orc Empire. A sieve that leaks through the air will fall apart if you are not careful.

If this were not the case, the five royal families would not often take advantage of the southern invasion war to carry out internal ethnic cleansing.

Except for the five royal families, the strength of all races is limited to a very low level, and they usually have no capital to make trouble, which is the core reason why the orc empire can be maintained forever.

……

The sunshine, the grassland, the rippling blue waves of the lake. In this beautiful land, the two armies finally completed the victorious meeting.

Looking at a group of old acquaintances approaching him, Hudson burst out with enthusiasm.

It's not that he wants to gloat, it's mainly that he can't help but see his competitors so embarrassed.

"When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears."

From the moist eyes of the crowd, Hudson read the nostalgia. It's really homesickness, and it's sad - what to do when you go home.

When we set out from the southeastern provinces, a total of more than 100,000 troops were gathered, and by the time we completed the division, there were only more than 1,000 people left, which was really miserable.

To be exact, there should be more than 3,000 people left. Along the way, Hudson successively collected many of the routs of the noble coalition of the southeastern provinces.

If this situation continues, it is estimated that a few thousand more people will be able to pick up a few thousand more people in the future. The classic Nine Deaths and One Life Negative Textbook.

If there was no previous error in judgment and Hudson completed the meeting two days in advance, the total strength of the aristocratic coalition army in the southeast province would have exceeded 10,000.

The first to be eliminated on the battlefield were the serf soldiers with poor physical strength and insufficient training, and those who could hold out to the end were the elites of each family, and it was distressing to lose one, not to mention that so many losses were made at once.

"Your Excellency, you have traveled all the way, and you have never rested well.

The barracks have been prepared in the army, and all the supplies are in the tents, so let's go wash and rest first!"

Hudson said with a smile.

This is not a mockery, it can be seen from the dark circles under everyone's eyes that they have suffered a lot these days.

Now that it's safe, a good night's sleep is a must. The intimate Hudson naturally will not arrange any welcome banquet in a big way.

In fact, no matter which noble alliance he received, he never arranged a banquet.

The main reason is that the affairs at hand are too busy, and there is no time to make friends, let alone hold banquets.

If you meet a big nobleman, you will not even be able to see Hudson's face.

There is no way, now there may be a shortage of anything in the army, that is, there will be no shortage of nobles.

There are a lot of dukes, marquises, and earls, and even princes of the royal family, and there are two in the military camp.

In fact, this kind of royal prince is also famous, but in fact it is not valuable. In terms of the real power in his hands, he is not as good as a real earl.

They appeared in the military, and their political significance was greater than their military significance. There is no small irritation for ordinary soldiers, but in the eyes of the great nobles

That's what happened.

The high title is just a noble status, and the one who can really hold the real power on behalf of the royal family is Marshal Campbell, who died in the previous battle.

If nothing happens, after the end of this war, Marshal Campbell will most likely be posthumously crowned Grand Duke or Prince by Caesar III.

Frankly, Hudson genuinely admired Caesar III. At the beginning of his succession, he was almost overturned by the great nobles in the country, but he was still reversed.

The prime minister is a member of the royal family, the military minister is a member of the royal family, and the dead head of the army, Field Marshal Campbell, the core members of the kingdom alone account for one-third of the royal family.

A proper iron triangle controls these three core positions, and the court is basically under the control of the king.

Vaguely, Hudson felt as if he had gone too far. For those in power, loyalty is more important than ability.

It's not a cronie, and if you want to seek the position of the first person in the army, aren't you deliberately looking for a draw?

Fortunately, this is not the centralization of power by the Eastern monarchy, otherwise he, the commander of the army who commits taboos, will most likely have a "rabbit dead and dog cooking" after the war.

Knowing is knowing, and the benefits that should be taken are still not allowed. It's a big deal that as soon as the war is over, he will resign and return to his fiefdom, and he will not stay in the royal capital.

This is also the routine operation of the great nobles. If you don't get along with the king, you simply don't get along with each other. Within the rules of the game, as long as you don't toss, there is no failure.

The Five Northland Families are the best example of this. It is estimated that Caesar III was eager to get rid of them as soon as possible, and in the end all he could do was to suppress them politically.

Relatively speaking, they are still passive, they need the support of the kingdom to be able to keep their own territory, and they must be mixed with domestic political activities.

Southern lords like Hudson have a very low dependence on the kingdom and can completely avoid the mess of the central government.

Deep down, after making the decision not to enter the central government, Hudson's whole person was relaxed.

……

"Earl Hudson, long time no see!"

With a simple greeting, Hudson saw the unnaturalness of Viscount Oran. After just over a year, the status of the two sides has been reversed, and it is estimated that normal people will be unnatural.

If it's just an honorary title, with the energy of the Holliser family, it's not a bad name. Even Caesar III was canonized, only to be pushed away by the Viscount of Oran.

It all starts with unspoken rules.

The boss of the Southeast Province, Pierce is holding the title of Earl, if the people below dare to overstep, do they want to mix in the Southeast Province?

Taking over the title of earl is equivalent to announcing to the outside world: he will be alongside Earl Pierce and no longer follow the Dalton family.

If there are not enough benefits, no one will offend the boss at the head to death for the sake of a false name.

Hudson dared to take over the position of earl, because he had enough military merits, and the military strength in his hands also swelled rapidly, and there was a high probability that he would be able to turn the false title into a real seal after the war.

There are real interests involved, and even if it offends the Dalton family, it is worth it.

"Your Excellency, what happened on the battlefield, and why did you end up in such a mess?"

Hudson asked, feigned confusion.

After all, he is his father-in-law, and he still has to give face. In order to hide the embarrassment of Viscount Oran, he decisively chose to shift the topic of Dafa.

"It's hard to put into words. Originally, although we were besieged by the enemy, we were generally able to hold our ground. Unless the enemy is willing to lose both, he will not be able to take us.

It's all those guys from the Northland, bent on breaking through. Everyone was bewitched by them, and after making a series of preparations, they launched a breakout battle.

The enemy blockade line, we are tearing apart. But the next days of being chased by the enemy's cavalry were the beginning of the nightmare, and the army soon suffered heavy losses.

You know the rest of the story. It could have been sooner rather than later, but it was Pierce

The guy thinks you're going to die, and you're going to run away with us!"

The more Viscount Oran spoke, the more angry he became.

Half of this resentment was directed at the five major families of the Northland, and half was directed at Earl Pierce. Tossed by two gangs, the Holliser family's road to revival has once again encountered setbacks.

This wave not only caused heavy losses to the family private army led by him, but even the strength of the kingdom's standing army was also heavily damaged.

The strength in his hands is insufficient, and he can't speak hard. Next, if you want to plot a province, the difficulty has risen by more than one notch.

Hearing the expected answer, Hudson wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. The southern nobles in the kingdom suffered heavy losses, and the situation of the five major families in the north was much better.

At the time of their rendezvous with Hudson, each family had at least six or seven thousand private troops.

You must know that this is just the private army of one of their families, not the private army of the southern nobles, who are grouped together by the nobles of a province.

In addition, some of the defeated troops can be collected in the future, and it is estimated that the number of private troops surviving from the five major families in the north can easily exceed 10,000.

Compared with these initiators, the nobles of southern Xinjiang whose strength has suffered heavy losses have become proper and wronged.

Especially the nobles in the southeast province, after stepping on the pit dug by the five major families, they jumped into the pit again, and they are simply the kings of the unjust seeds.
