Before the affairs of the realm were arranged, Hudson received an invitation from Governor Pierce, followed by an invitation from the King.

When a continental war breaks out, the mountain realms need to take countermeasures, and the provinces and kingdoms are no exception.

The kingdom, in particular, has been hit the hardest. As the number one power in the Northern Continent, the Alpha Kingdom has not only glory, but also responsibility.

In the event of a large-scale invasion by foreign races, the kingdom is bound to send troops to rescue the nations. Of course, the specific rescue strength depends on the festival.

……

"Hudson, is there another war?"

Melissa asked with concern.

For some reason, since giving birth to her eldest son, her political sense of smell has become dull.

Reaching out and patting the dust on little Franz, Hudson nodded slightly.

"The continental war has broken out, and there will be no more pure land in the entire Aslant continent, and no one can be left alone.

However, this time the advantage of the Terrans is very large, and the probability of victory is as high as ninety percent, so there is no need to worry too much.

Perhaps after this war, the alien race will no longer be a threat. To use a war to stabilize the supremacy of our human race, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it! ”

The truth is true, but when you need to bear the price, it's a different picture.

They are all fighting for the survival of the race, standing on their own sides, and all are on the side of justice.

"Then you be careful, don't be reckless on the battlefield, Franz is still waiting for you to come back!"

As she spoke, tears appeared in the corners of Melissa's eyes.

The more you know, the more you know about awe.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a dragon knight like Hudson is left to his own hands on the battlefield, only he kills, and no one can do anything to him.

Melissa, who is familiar with history books, knows very well how bloody the battles of various races during the Continental War were, and there were not a few dragon knights who fell on the battlefield.

Heroes are born in troubled times, but more people have become stepping stones for heroes. Once the success is achieved, the vast majority of people fall halfway to becoming heroes.

Reaching out to help Melissa wipe away her tears, Hudson smiled and said, "Don't worry." The war was burning for a while, and it didn't burn the kingdom.

Even if they go to war now, they will only send troops symbolically. Unless the situation on the front deteriorates, it will not be my turn to play. ”

There is no problem, as a banner of the Alpha Kingdom military, Hudson will not go to the front line unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, others bring troops out to reinforce them, and if they lose, they lose. The impact on the kingdom is not very great.

If Hudson were defeated, even if it was just a small defeat, it would cause an uproar and affect the morale of the kingdom's military.

……

Emerald Palace.

Glancing at the important ministers from all over the kingdom, Caesar IV said with a little tiredness:

"The war on the mainland has broken out in full force, and we don't need to worry about the situation in the southern and central continents. The war was provoked by them on their own initiative, and they should have made comprehensive preparations.

The trouble is the North Continent!

The strength of the alien race in the Northern Continent is the strongest, and none of the elves, orcs, and ancient relics are easy to mess with.

However, the strength of my human race is the weakest here. In all the continental wars, the kingdom has taken on the main task of fighting against the aliens.

The situation is slightly better now, with the Seven Steppe Kingdoms separating us from the Orc Empire, and there is an additional strategic barrier.

But what the specific situation is, everyone knows it in their hearts. The little strength of the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland alone can't stop the orc army.

The situation on the other two fronts is also not optimistic. The elves and the ancient relics also provoked wars.

So far, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received letters of assistance from 11 countries. Judging by the content, all of them are urgent. ”

As he spoke, the attendant had already distributed the letter of request for help to the people.

After a long time, the faces of the big nobles who roughly understood the situation all fell.

Theoretically, the Alpha Kingdom is obliged to send troops to the rescue of its allies. However, so many letters for help arrived almost at the same time, and they couldn't be saved at all!

"Your Majesty, militarily speaking, the kingdom does not have the ability to rescue all countries at the same time.

I think it would be better to transfer these letters of request for help to the Parliament of the Terran Alliance and seek help from the countries of the mainland.

Of course, as a responsible nation, we can't do nothing.

The Warhammer Kingdom is at war with each other, and now the situation is critical, just in time to convince them to stop fighting.

Whether it is re-merging or becoming two independent countries, as long as they stop infighting, it will have a very important positive significance for the battlefield of the Northern Continent. ”

Hudson suggested to himself.

Except for the first sentence, which is sincere, the rest are prevarication, and there is no nutritional value at all.

There was no way, everyone's eyes were focused on him, forcing him to open his eyes and tell nonsense.

Use the soldiers like gods, just take them out to fool others, if you follow the faith, then it's over!

In fact, Hudson was also making a big gamble. With the safety of the northern continent as a bargaining chip, the gambling elves will not invade with all their might.

As long as this paddling champion is still just paddling, the Alpha Kingdom will be able to survive this catastrophe.

As for mediating the war in the Warhammer Kingdom, that's pure nonsense. Except for a few battles at the beginning, most of the time people are just "quarreling and fighting".

Everyone is a smart person, and they know that the situation on the mainland is tense, and they still fight desperately.

The struggle between the aristocracy is, in essence, the art of struggle and compromise. If there had been no external interference, the Warhammer Kingdom would have been unified long ago.

Noisy, that is because someone gave them the confidence to think that they have the ability to overwhelm each other.

At this moment, the war broke out on the mainland, and the ancient relics invaded the Warhammer Kingdom in groups, and they couldn't stop if they didn't want to.

After all, this is an existential race war.

Live or die, there is no third option.

"There is no problem in mediating the civil war in the Warhammer Kingdom.

Since the outbreak of the Continental War, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been in contact with the two major factions within the Warhammer Kingdom, and both sides have a lot of sincerity.

However, judging from the current situation, even if the Warhammer Kingdom stopped the civil war, it would be difficult to stop the troops of the Ancient Relic, let alone support the neighboring countries to resist the invasion of the Elves. ”

Count Francis said worriedly.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was definitely the most active department in the Alpha Kingdom after the outbreak of the Continental War.

Coordinating the two major factions of the Warhammer Kingdom to join forces to resist the enemy, this kind of place to brush up on prestige will naturally not be missing their figures.

The understanding of the situation is also the deepest. It is very clear that the current Warhammer Kingdom is no longer of great use.

"Then find a way to stabilize the elves first!

Unlike other races in the continent, the elves have a slow ability to reproduce, and they do not have the strength to dominate the continent, so they are not a big threat to our human race.

In recent years, the contradiction between the human race and the elf race is nothing more than someone capturing elven slaves.

The big deal is that we made a commitment to ban the elven slave trade in the kingdom, and proposed at the Terran Alliance Council that it would be a felony to capture and trade elves.

In the current situation, the probability of the Coalition Parliament agreeing is very high. As a matter of sincerity, the kingdom released the elven slaves in its hands first.

Of course, this is limited to slaves who have just been captured and have not been insulted.

Those elven slaves who have been insulted must be dealt with immediately, and there must be no hidden dangers left at this time. ”

Hudson said solemnly.

In his opinion, it was too cost-effective to ban slave hunting in exchange for the neutrality of the elves.

Even if it doesn't work, as long as it can delay the speed of the elves' troops, it is of great strategic significance.

"Earl Hudson, you're thinking things too simply. The elven slaves are all the great nobles of various countries.

Even if the Terran Alliance Council issued a law, it would be difficult to restrain them. Our proposal at this time has no substantive meaning except to offend people! ”

Duke Torsten scoffed.

This is a fact, and the binding force of the Terran Alliance Parliament on the countries is both strong and weak.

Whether it can play a role or not depends on whether it is in everyone's interests. Only when the interests of the group are safeguarded can the laws of the alliance be truly binding.

"Duke Tolsten, it doesn't matter if it's binding or not, at least our decisions can be implemented within the kingdom and can play a role in the Northern Continent.

You can't put the kingdom at risk just because you can't afford a few elven slaves.

Regardless of whether these promises can make the elves neutral, at least the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can use this excuse to pull the elves to the negotiating table first.

One more day of talking, and we have one more day to prepare. It would be even better if it could drag on for a few years and wait for the situation on the mainland to become clear. ”

Hudson said calmly.

In fact, he still has a lot to say. This continental war is different from the past, and the enthusiasm of the elves to participate is definitely not the same.

If you want to stabilize the elves, the price you need to pay will definitely be greater.

There is a precedent for something similar in history. The outside world only saw the elves acting as paddling champions, but they didn't notice that in the previous few continental wars, they all made a profit.

In order to keep the elves neutral, not only did the Alpha Kingdom promise him benefits, but all the countries on the continent made similar promises.

Secretly, the elves have even signed secret treaties with many Terran countries.

This is not a waste of paper, and with the blessing of magical powers, many secret covenants are binding on those who sign them.

Looking at the performance of the countries of the human race, we know that every time there is a major international conflict, the measures taken against the elves are mediation.

Compared with the orc empire that is also in the northern continent and is often brushed up by groups, the elves are really much happier.

However, these contracts are not without hidden dangers, and once the person in power changes, the original secret contract loses its binding force.

After all, no matter how binding a contract is, it can only bind the signatories of the contract, and it is impossible to expand the scope indefinitely.

"Earl Hudson is right, as long as the pace of the elves is slowed down, any opportunity should be attempted.

Isn't it just a few elven slaves, compared with the interests of the human race, I believe that most nobles with a conscience will make the right choice.

Everyone present should make a statement first, can you give up the elf slave in your hand? ”

The Archduke of Newfoundland asked sharply.

The old prime minister, who had been silent for many years, once again broke out with a decisive side, as if pulling everyone back to the time of Caesar III.

It is impossible to refuse, and when it comes to this, whoever continues to oppose it is an unscrupulous aristocrat who does not care about the overall situation.

With such a hat, there is no need to mix in aristocratic circles.

No matter how unhappy they were, everyone could only smile and pretend to be happy to agree.

The big strategy was decided, and Hudson instantly turned into a small transparent, and the audience was silent on the question of how to support the countries.

It is enough to do things that are in the limelight, and there is no need to finish things alone.

These nobles present are all the elites of the Alpha Kingdom, and they have all experienced the tempering of war.

Even if you don't have the talent to lead soldiers, at least you know how to lead soldiers. When it comes to supporting allies, it's more steady than the other, without the slightest hint of presumptuousness.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to send reinforcements from each of the eleven countries. As for when to send troops and how to compose the troops, it is natural that we need to discuss it slowly.

Anyway, the Alpha Kingdom promised to send troops and fulfill its obligations as an ally with practical actions. The efficiency of implementation is only necessary to catch up with the average speed of the countries on the mainland.

After all, this is an expedition to 11 countries, and it must be well prepared.

……

Around the same time, a similar military meeting was being held in the Duchy of Moxi, with the only difference being that George had seven fewer letters asking for help.

Perhaps out of distance, or perhaps because they were worried that the Duchy of Moxi would also be in the midst of war in the near future, the Seven Steppe Kingdoms did not ask for help from them.

Seven fewer letters for help does not mean that the Principality of Moxi will be easy. Because of geopolitics, they need to bear more pressure than the Alpha Kingdom.

Once the Warhammer Kingdom collapses, the flames of war will soon spread to the Duchy of Moxi.

Whether it is the alliance of the ancient relics or the army of the elves, as long as they kill them, they can't hide.

The only ally is the Alpha Kingdom behind him. As for the other countries of the Northern Continent, they were directly ignored by George.

After all, it's been too long. The biggest crisis faced by ordinary people is the infighting between the aristocracy.

Nominally called war, in fact, this kind of frontal PK showing the carriage and horse is a "brawl" that does not enter the stream.

In a real war, how can there be thousands of people fighting and casualties in the single digits?

Accustomed to fake wars every day, these countries have long forgotten how the real war is waged.

Perhaps a few small countries that have been hammered by orcs a few years ago have learned some lessons and paid a little attention to armament.

But this little effort is not enough in a real race war.

"Your Majesty, the Warhammer Kingdom lost many cities in the border area at the beginning of the war, and the current situation is not optimistic.

The situation in the Duchy of Cantru, the Duchy of Usda, and the Duchy of Fik is even worse, and the elves have not made a move, and they have already panicked.

Once the elven army invades, I'm afraid that in less than half a year, they will fall.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated with several major powers on the mainland, and except for the Alpha Kingdom, which has made it clear that it will provide assistance, the rest of the countries have refused on the grounds that they are also fighting.

I'm afraid it's ......."

Before Count Renato finished speaking, the military minister on the side mended his sword and said:

"Count Renato, you are too optimistic. If the elves really send troops, don't say that they can't support it for half a year, even if it is difficult for us to hold out for half a year.

In the case of the Duchy of Cantru, the Duchy of Usda, and the Duchy of Fik, they were able to hold back the elven army for a month, and they all made outstanding contributions to the Terrans.

Once the Elves and the Ancient Relic join forces, it is also a matter of time before the Warhammer Kingdom falls, and it is estimated that they will be able to support it for half a year with optimism.

Not because of how good they are, but because it will take a lot of time to occupy their vast territory. ”

The words of Count Martins deeply stung everyone.

At any other time, it would have been a great example of low emotional intelligence. But at such times, it is the most rational answer.

As Minister of War, he must always be rational in times of crisis in the Principality.

Any unrealistic optimism will lead the Duchy of Moxi to the point of no return.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of the current situation?"

George asked calmly.

The orcs besieged the city and the principality was in danger, but he persevered, and how could he be intimidated by what did not happen.

A true warrior who dares to face the bleak reality.

Originally, George also behaved very ordinarily during the time of the crown prince, but since his accession to the throne, the Duchy of Moxi has always been in an eventful situation. The more things I experienced, the more I slowly grew.

The current situation is in crisis, but the situation in the Principality of Moxi, when will it not be in crisis?

After cleaning up the orc mess, then there is the debt crisis; The debt crisis was resolved, and the central kingdoms were ready to move again.

The outbreak of the continental war has made the above crises not a problem, and the threat of the elves and the ancient relics has come again.

Born of sorrow.

Every day is in crisis, and over time, George gets used to it.

"Your Majesty, let's wait for the decision of the Alpha Kingdom for now!

The elven clan Ding Buwang, even if it is really invaded, most of them will not come out, at most they will send some clansmen who are about to die.

If the Alpha Kingdom is willing to join forces with us, they should be able to stop them from joining forces with the Ancient Relic.

The trouble now is that the orcs have also moved, and once the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland are defeated, a large part of the energy of the Alpha Kingdom will be restrained by the orcs.

……”

Prime Minister Hercheg said worriedly.
