The mobilization order was issued, and before the reinforcements arrived, the overwhelming beast tide broke out first.

The half-finished blood moon defense line does not play a protective role at all. For the safety of the workers, Hudson had no choice but to order a retreat to important strategic points.

In fact, at this time, it is not important whether the "strategy" is not strategic at all. After the herd crosses the line, the free-spirited mode is activated.

The high-level demonic beasts are qualified high-level commanders, but the low-level demonic beasts below are not qualified grass-roots officers, and it is too difficult for them to command the beasts to fight.

In their eyes, the herd under their command is equivalent to food. When they were hungry, they went and grabbed a few at will, so that the wild beasts would hide away when they saw them.

If it weren't for the restraint of the three high-level demonic beasts, the demonic beasts would all fight freely. A low-level monster with an average IQ of less than a seven-year-old child doesn't know what the big picture is

After seeing the style of the herd, Hudson suddenly found himself nervous. Even if there are no reinforcements, the rabble in front of them will be played to death by the nobles everywhere.

Even if the Blood Moon County was under siege by the Warcraft army, Hudson didn't take it seriously.

The notice has been notified, and it is not the first time that the beast tide has been encountered, and the nobles of the Blood Moon County have their own set of coping plans.

The three high-level demonic beasts that launched the beast tide are all consumed outside the city, and the demonic beasts that invade other places are all miscellaneous fish, and they can't become a climate at all.

"Earl Hudson, something is wrong. The general beast tide will not have such a rigorous organization, let alone a clear goal.

The size of the beasts gathered outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the three high-level demonic beasts have been staying here, so there is something in the city that attracts them. ”

Governor Pierce said worriedly.

Obviously, he was not as optimistic as Hudson. The beast tide comes with a purpose, which is rare in history.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I have naturally noticed this problem. However, if you want to find out the reason, I'm afraid you can only ask the three-headed demonic beast.

Our mounts did not react, proving that the monsters outside the city were not attracted by natural treasures.

Maybe it was a mercenary group that caused the trouble, or maybe a certain nobleman did something big in the Blackstone Mountains, it can't be ruled out that someone did it deliberately.

If the Hessians want to invade from here, it is entirely possible to create a beast tide in advance to attract the demonic beasts of the Blackstone Mountains.

It's also a good thing that the herds are gathering outside the city. All we need to do is hold the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Hudson said with a blank expression.

Everything is the fault of interests, since negotiating the price with Maxim, Han Hanlong has been going out to hunt monsters.

Probably because he has been with Bear Stearns for a long time, this thing has also learned to beat the stuffy stick behind his back, and every time he moves, he shrinks his body and sneaks out.

When there is a harvest, it is not brought back immediately, but chooses to bring it back quietly at night with the help of night cover, which is not at all as high-profile as a normal dragon.

If it weren't for the increasing number of monster captives in Hudson's private army camp, I don't know what this thing is doing every day.

The nose of the monster is very smart, and there are many captives of the monster, and it is inevitable that it will be noticed by the same clan.

Although there is no full evidence, judging from the current reaction of the beast herd, it is likely that the trouble caused by its own dragon.

To know is to know, but Hudson certainly won't admit it. If this kind of thing gets out, it won't do him any good.

At present, the Hessian Kingdom is regarded as the biggest threat by the provincial nobles, and they all look at problems with colored glasses, and it is right to throw the blame at them.

The bloody battle kicked off, and it was another tragic day. Patrolling the battlefield from afar, Hudson sighed to himself.

In his eyes, whether it is the soldiers defending the city or the monsters besieging the city, they are all a valuable asset. It's a pity that now I can only watch the two be consumed here in vain.

There was no accident, all the nobles' mid-to-high-level Warcraft mounts did not appear on the battlefield, and even if they did, they refused to participate in the battle.

In normal times, they are free to fight, but when it comes to this, they all choose neutrality.

No one knows the reason behind it, and the question is: unique Warcraft thinking. Hudson couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have the time to dig deeper.

Obviously, the attacks of the herd are much more casual than those of organized humans. There is no cooperation, although the roar of the three-headed high-level demonic beasts continues, it can't change the willfulness of the demonic beasts.

"If someone can control the herd of beasts and launch a magical attack in an organized manner, our city fortifications will not last for three hours!"

Hudson sighed heartily.

I have to admit that the talent of Warcraft is unique, and all of them are born with dual cultivation of Demon and Martial Arts. It is capable of both long-range magic attacks and hand-to-hand combat.

"Earl Hudson, laughing.

If the demonic beasts of different races could cooperate with each other, they would have become the overlords of the continent long ago, and there would be nothing to do with us humans.

The creator God is fair, giving them their unique gifts and depriving them of wisdom.

If all the demonic beasts have wisdom, even low-level demonic beasts can break through the bloodline limit through cultivation and grow into high-level demonic beasts.

A long lifespan, coupled with that great talent. It can be said that any low-level Warcraft race has wisdom and is an elf race.

Even more terrifying than the elves, the elves don't have their fertility! ”

Governor Pierce laughed.

There are no higher-level demonic beasts, because these perverted creatures, the only restriction is low fertility.

If a high-level Warcraft race breaks through the limitations of its own fertility and can breed one litter at a time, it will soon be able to replace the human race as the new continent overlord.

A short conversation eased the tension at the command.

"Pass the order, let the magic crossbows, magic crystal cannons, and trebuchets in the city aim at the beasts and shoot freely."

Hudson ordered.

There's no need to continue to hide, the enemy is a monster, and people don't understand the art of war.

If you kill the opponent, you will be killed by the opponent. The world of Warcraft is so unpretentious.

The roaring artillery fire sounded, and the pressure on defending the city was greatly reduced in an instant. In the face of the defenders' long-range attacks, the monsters also launched a magical counterattack.

It's just that this group of fools obviously don't know how to cooperate. It often happens that the magic of their own beasts collides in the air, and it explodes in advance before it reaches the city.

The consequence is that the magic counterattack is launched, causing indiscriminate blows to both the enemy and the enemy. After some temper-raising monsters were injured by mistake, they even gave their teammates a critical blow with a backhand.

Hudson was amazed by the chaos of the scene. He was very skeptical that if it weren't for the three high-level demonic beasts that constantly maintained order, the beasts outside would be able to fight on their own.

Theoretically, if you launch a counterattack at this moment, as long as you drag those three high-level demonic beasts, the beast herd that no one commands will soon collapse.

It's a pity that Lord Hudson, the dragon knight, is too desperate for his life and doesn't have the slightest idea of taking the fire into the fire. Others are more than they can handle.

The nobility of the southeastern provinces is still lacking in high-end power.

Judging from the information Hudson has, there are quite a few magisters and earth knights in the province, but the higher-level magisters and sky knights are all broken.

Whether it is a real fault, or whether the Dalton family has hidden their high-end power, it is still unknown, anyway, no master of this level has ever appeared.

In terms of the comparison of power systems, the Magister and the Earth Knight correspond to the seventh-order demonic beasts. There was only one eighth-order demonic beast and two seventh-order demonic beasts outside, and gathering more than a dozen masters to besiege them in the past could also achieve their goal.

Unfortunately, like Hudson, these big names are also very desperate for their lives. In the event of a siege by a herd, they would not have the ability to escape with their whole body.

Hudson did not give such an offending order, and the others did not mention it, and they were quietly waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

……

Emerald Palace, the news of the outbreak of the beast tide in the southeastern province has reached the royal capital. It's just that all the princes and nobles, including Caesar IV, don't care about paying attention to these "little things".

The fact that none of the nobles in the southeastern province asked for help was enough to show that the situation was still under control and that they could not spend too much energy to pay attention.

Looking at the intelligence gathered from all over the continent, Caesar IV couldn't help but ask: "Is the continental war about to break out so soon?" ”

"Your Majesty, judging from the information gathered so far, all countries are preparing for war.

The Franks, in particular, had already issued an ultimatum to the Orc kingdom about the assassination of the Legation. Mobilization of armies everywhere also began, and it was only a matter of time before war broke out.

The kingdom of Oprus has also clashed with the Dwarves. In recent days, more than a hundred dwarves have been involved in accidents in the border area between the two countries, and seven Oprus nobles have also been killed.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, the spearhead is pointed at the other party. At present, the two countries are busy arguing, and it is said that there have even been two armed conflicts in the border area.

If the situation is not eased, the kingdom of Oprus, which has the support of the Holy See, is likely to wage war against the dwarven kingdom.

】

The kingdom of Libya has recently clashed with the ogre horde. Judging from the information they have found, it is very likely that they will use troops against the Ogre Kingdom again.

The central part of the continent is also not peaceful, and there is an armed conflict between the kingdom of the south bank and the Three-Eyed Clan; The conflict between Dante's kingdom and the troll clan escalates; The Kingdom of Hesse is also in opposition to the Stone People.

The above mentioned are all conflicts between the Terrans and several powerful alien races, and some conflicts between small aliens and Terran countries, and even more.

There are all kinds of signs that a new round of continental war is imminent, and now it is up to us who ignites the fire first. ”

Count Francis said with a tired expression.

Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been very busy. This kind of complicated international situation, which cannot be fought, is the most abrasive.

A series of international conflicts broke out, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to constantly adjust the current foreign policy of the kingdom according to the changing situation.

Even if you work overtime, the key is that you can't produce results. If you're not careful, you'll get into trouble.

The conflict between the human race and the alien race seems to be brainless and on the side of the human race. But the reality is very cruel, and the standing line at this moment is not something that can be done by shouting a few words of support, but by taking practical actions.

Once the continental war broke out, no one would be left alone.

The Alpha Kingdom seems to be extinct in the vicinity, but the Northern Continent is the place where the alien race is the most powerful. If there is a fight, the pressure will only be greater than that of the countries involved.

After all, people are ready to take the initiative to launch wars with foreign countries, and if they win, they will have a lot of land wealth in their accounts.

It's not the same when it rests on the Alpha Kingdom. He is surrounded by Terran countries, and even if he wins the war and destroys the aliens, he will be able to take a few enclaves.

This is still the most ideal state, it is more likely that the Terran countries in the central and southern continents have cleared the alien races, the alien races in the northern continent are still alive and well, and the Alpha Kingdom is working in vain.

It can't be regarded as a vain effort, it's just that the gap between the north and the south of the mainland is even greater. From a continental power, it has slowly become an ordinary kingdom, and it is in an increasingly disadvantageous position in international competition.

"The Continental War is now breaking out, and it is very bad for the kingdom. Even if the Terrans win a great victory, we will not be able to divide the spoils.

If possible, it would be better for the kingdom to avoid this war as much as possible. No matter how bad it is, we must delay the outbreak of war and ensure that we are not dragged into the battlefield at the beginning of the war.

The Kingdom's current finances are still not optimistic. Perhaps the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could take this opportunity to ask governments for debt relief.

We do not expect private lending to be exempted, and as long as government borrowing is erased, our pressure will be greatly reduced. ”

As soon as the Marquis delgado spoke, he showed the qualities of a chancellor of the exchequer, thinking about the financial problems of the kingdom all the time.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. We owe governments more than 10 million gold coins in total, which is not a small amount.

At such a time, if you make a request, maybe only the small countries of the Northern Continent that are close to the elves will agree, but it is also a conditional agreement.

The kingdom does not want to intervene in the war at the first time, so the best option is to find an excuse to hold on. Anyway, there are so many countries in the way, and the war will not reach us for a while.

If it can drag on for three or five years, the kingdom will recover, and it will be a different situation to intervene in the war. ”

The Prime Minister of Newfoundland vetoed.

The pressure on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already great enough, and it is really embarrassing to make unrealistic demands.

Anyway, if anyone owes a large amount of money to the Alpha Kingdom and suddenly comes over and asks for debt relief, he will not agree.

Even if you really don't have any money, you can extend your debt. In the continent of Aslanth, there is no country that has paid its debts before it perishes.

As for the choice to wait and see the situation, it is even less surprising. The Hessian Kingdom was able to come up with a policy of suitude in the past, and now it can also be immobilized.

Anyway, this kind of thing is not exclusive to the Alpha Kingdom. When the orcs invaded earlier, most of the countries in the northern continent did not send troops in time.

"The prime minister is right, the most important thing now is to buy time, and other issues have to give way.

Grand Duke Ephiero, if a continental war breaks out suddenly, how much military pressure will the kingdom face, and will we be able to deal with it? ”

The Archduke of Ephiero, who was named by Caesar IV, was embarrassed, and before he could answer, his facial expression revealed his true thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the international situation is unpredictable, and now we don't even know who the enemy is, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Military Affairs to give a clear answer.

If you want to deduce an outcome in advance, I suggest summoning Earl Hudson to the royal capital to report on his duties. In the military, he has more say. ”

The Grand Duke of Efiero decisively shook the pot.

As Minister of War, he naturally does not lack professionalism. But he was pessimistic on this issue, and did not dare to give Caesar IV the assurance he wanted.

"The southeastern province is experiencing a beast tide, and Earl Hudson is presiding over the overall situation, and he will definitely not be able to leave for a while.

The Ministry of Military Affairs first made a reasonable response plan in light of the current situation. lest a continental war suddenly break out and catch us by surprise.

Don't be so pessimistic, at least the threat to our south has been lifted for the time being. It is impossible for the three central kingdoms to provoke a civil war among the human race during the continental war.

The threat of alien races, and other countries are in the way first.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs could strengthen communication with the elves, preferably by signing a binding non-aggression pact. As long as we can stabilize them, we will win most of this war. ”

Caesar IV said bluntly.

These countermeasures were left behind by Caesar III during his lifetime. After predicting that the continental war was about to break out, he made plans for the future of the Alpha Kingdom in advance.

Originally, Caesar IV did not think so, but he did not expect that the development of the situation was not much different from Caesar III's prediction.

The only difference is that the time of the outbreak of the war on the mainland was a little bit earlier, but there was still no big difference in the development of the situation.

In the absence of a better countermeasure, Caesar IV could only use the national policy left by his father - "to maintain health from the inside, and to stabilize the elves from the outside".
