Frankish Palace.

Looking at the representatives of the Frank Wheel Kingdom, Charles III was angry. Obviously, I reminded them not to make a big deal out of it, but the result was that they didn't listen.

Now, everything is as he expected, and things are out of control.

The day's affairs came to an end for the time being, and it was the face that the Alpha gave to the Frankish kingdom, so he didn't continue to delve into it, but it didn't mean that the matter was over.

Next, if everyone communicates well, they can also make big things small; If the conditions cannot be negotiated, the final decision of the Terran Alliance will be very unfavorable to the Kingdom of the Farrant Wheel.

No matter how big the trouble is, he has to help solve it, who made the king of Farrant Wheel his younger brother! As the eldest brother, he has the obligation to clean up the mess for his younger brother.

"Tell Philip not to be clever all the time. Today's incident, I will clean up the aftermath for you, but this is the last time!

Whatever happens next, there can be no surprises for Baird I and Bellent I.

And your idiot evacuation plan, stop me immediately. Is it true that all the councillors in the Terran Alliance are dead?

It's okay when no one is watching, and you countries are acting together, and you may be able to cover things up with your connections.

But now because of these fools, you have offended the Alpha to death, and people are waiting for you to make mistakes!

Using the army of your allies as cannon fodder, putting the monarch of a neighboring country under house arrest, and committing another crime of desertion, do you want to send yourself to the gallows with your own hands, so that you can feel comfortable? ”

Charles III said angrily.

Deep down, he already secretly regretted it. If he had known that things were so troublesome, he would not have spent a lot of money to put his younger brother on the throne.

The benefits of this investment have not yet been seen, but the trouble has not stopped. From the early construction of the kingdom to the current situation, the price paid by the family is too great.

Stop loss now, it is a loss. Carrying it to the death, at least there is hope of recovering the cost.

After all, it is not only the royal family that invests in the Kingdom of Farrant, but also a group of powerful people in the country.

Originally, I just wanted to find a good job for my children, but I didn't expect the situation to develop too quickly, and the mainland war broke out before I could gain a firm foothold.

The additional investment is certainly not as important as the main business. The Frankish kingdom has to prioritize the domestic battlefield, and the support it can provide to the Frankish kingdom is very limited.

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger! This time it was a complete accident, and there will never be a next time!

The main reason is that the Alfa is too despicable, and he actually doesn't admit to what he has done, and he bites us back!

Especially the two soft eggs Carlis and Houston, who had promised to stand with us in advance, didn't expect them to turn back on the spot and catch us off guard......"

It's okay not to explain, listening to Earl Davis's words, the anger in Charles III's heart rose again.

"Humph!"

After a cold drink, he brushed his sleeves and left. Deep down, he understands very well that the lack of political experience of these people is not due to their own ability, but more to the family positioning!

Unlike the Alpha Kingdom, the death rate of the children of the nobility is not so high, and in order to avoid chaos in the change of power, the heirs are often focused on training.

Other children can also share the family resources, but the education they receive is not exactly the same. Many people are trained as professionals from birth.

In their respective fields, these people are talented. The ability to consider problems comprehensively will inevitably be lacking.

Located in the core area of the Terrans, there are not many opportunities within the Frankish Kingdom, even if you can go out and start a business, through temporary make-up classes, it is not a problem to be qualified as a small and medium-sized noble lord.

But the plan did not change quickly, and no one knew that there was an opportunity to establish the kingdom of the Farrant Wheel decades ago.

A group of people who were supposed to become ordinary nobles in the kingdom were pushed to the fore by the torrent of the times and took charge of the fate of a country.

Suddenly being in a high position is not something that can be made up for by temporary make-up classes. If the world is peaceful, with the support of the Frankish kingdom, they can also slowly learn from the experience in their work.

Why did the troubled times come too early, and before they were ready, they ushered in the first international game, and they were taught a hard lesson by the Alpha Person.

Charles III is reluctant to talk nonsense, because he knows very well that if he wants people to mature quickly in politics, then he can only keep people stepping on the pit.

For example, now, if the powerful people of the Kingdom of Farrant cannot put away their desire to prove their ability, it is impossible for them to mature politically.

It is destined to pay the tuition fee, and it is cheaper to pay the fee early. What the Alpha Kingdom wants is cannon fodder, and it won't want the lives of these nobles.

Like the five countries of the steppe who rudely use their allies as cannon fodder, the next operation of the Alpha Law must be much more technical, at least there will be no handle for people to attack on the surface.

……

Similar troubles were encountered by Pius VII. It's just that because of the distance, he received the message so late.

didn't warn in advance of the that didn't listen to persuasion, but he didn't rush to export anger. is also angry, and he is even more angry that Alfa does not give face.

Of course, this time there was not much anger. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two that the Alpha Kingdom does not buy the accounts of the Holy See.

"Is there any news from Josip and Jelačic?"

Pius VII asked with concern.

He hadn't received news for a long time, and deep down he already had an ominous premonition. Even if the strength of the team sent is very strong, the strength of these people will still be greatly reduced when they go to sea.

If the enemy does not give the opportunity to fight in close combat, most of the knights will have no place to show their strength, and can only become spectators of naval battles.

But the place where the fleet disappeared is close to the Alpha Kingdom. Others don't dare to do anything to the people of the Holy See, but when they meet those alpha madmen, it's hard to say.

"Your Majesty, we are working hard to investigate, and judging from the current situation, the team looking for the artifact is afraid that it will be more than lucky.

According to the information gathered, before the pirate fleet disappeared, a Dalton family warship was sunk off the southeast coast of the Alpha Kingdom.

Immediately after that, the main fleet of the Dalton family was assembled, and even the dragon knight Hudson appeared in the fleet.

In order to compete for the dominance of the southeastern provinces, the Coslow family and the Dalton family secretly did not have a lack of contradictions, and under normal circumstances, Hudson should not appear in the enemy's fleet.

To be able to get them to join forces, I am afraid that there is only a higher level of pressure.

It is very likely that Josipp and Jelačić and his party revealed their identities and attracted the attention of the Alpha Kingdom to plan this operation.

It is not ruled out that it was because of the appearance of the artifact, which attracted the peeps of the Dalton family and the Coslow family, and the two families teamed up to plan the attack.

The latter is relatively unlikely, with the Coslow family being one of Hudson's masters, and the Dalton family's masters also suffering heavy losses in the last war.

We have compared the strength of the two fleets, and although the fleet of the Dalton family has the upper hand, it does not have the ability to completely annihilate the Barbarian Beard Pirates.

In the vast sea, as long as you want to leave, most warships should be able to escape.

If it were just them, even if our men would lose, they wouldn't be wiped out.

Only the Arfa sent more masters to the battle, and as soon as the naval battle was over, a large number of strong men appeared on our ships, hindering the retreat of the fleet.

With the dragon knights here, it was not difficult for them to send the master to the pirate ship.

If our people have already found the artifact, there is a good chance that the artifact has now fallen into the hands of the Arfa.

Combined with their dragnet search in the Misty Seas, it is likely to be the last round of hunting and killing of the survivors.

At least of all the information we've gathered, no one else has seen a ghost ship except for the Dalton family's fleet! ”

Ulise said with a serious face.

The truth or something, it's all up to the brain. If you do the job of gathering intelligence, you can't do it without an imaginative brain.

My family is missing, and I must have an explanation. In the absence of evidence, it is best to let the hostile forces take the blame.

Deep down, Uliste had a hunch that Alfa had done this, and that Hudson and the Dalton family were the executors.

It just so happens that now the Holy See needs to help the Kingdom of Light tide over the difficulties, but a series of evidence that has appeared in the current Council of the Alliance is very unfavorable to the Kingdom of Light, and the Holy See can't directly come out to help them stand on the platform if they want to avoid suspicion.

After receiving a hint from the Pope, Ulise, who had passed the political acumen, simply pinned the pot on the Alpha Kingdom for the disappearance of the treasure hunting team.

Next, let's look for the bad luck of the Alpha Kingdom, that is, the personal grudge between the two families. Helping the Kingdom of Light relieve pressure is a complete coincidence.

"Humph!

Damn Arphys, who have repeatedly challenged the majesty of my Holy See, this time we must teach them a lesson!

Under the pretext of encircling and suppressing pirates, we will let our fleet move north and put pressure on the Alpha Kingdom.

If they don't know how to advance or retreat, and still want to block the route, then let our fleet continue north and help them encircle the ghost ships. ”

Pius VII said angrily.

……

In Canglan City, Marshal Hudson, who was supposed to ride a dragon around to inspect the training of the army, was chatting with a group of big nobles on the city tower at the moment.

A dragon groaned through the air, and Maxim began his day's inspection.

Compared to the huge body of the dragon, whether there is a dragon knight on it or not, it is really not so easy to find.

Occasionally touch the fish, and the people below will not notice. After all, dragons are not industrious creatures, and it is a bit difficult for dragons to work alone without dragon knights to follow.

In fact, Hudson took the dragon out every day, blinding the eyes of many nobles.

You must know that the dragons of the other three dragon knights on the continent are either sleeping with their heads bored or playing pranks. The dragon knight was not careful, and the dragon went out to rob.

In the absence of any other kind of care, Maxim, a seemingly peaceful and diligent dragon, has become an outlier among dragons.

In the kingdom, Maxim has his own title - the most morally cultivated dragon.

As for his reaching out to the kingdom for a salary, everyone expressed understanding. For creatures like dragons, which are full of combat power, everyone's requirements are generally not high, just don't cause trouble.

It is better to buy peace with money than to be robbed by a dragon. This guy has never taken it lightly, and if he is killed or disabled, it will not be a tragedy in life.

"Hudson, how long will the soldiers' physical training last?"

Count Oran asked casually.

"Let's practice for another two or three months, and when they can travel 100 miles a day with light clothing, they can barely start the next stage of training."

Hudson replied calmly.

This is not bragging, even if you have not cultivated in the transcendent world, nourished by the energy element, the physical potential of human beings is far stronger than that of the technological world.

The elites who have undergone rigorous training are all special forces on the scientific and technological plane. Traveling 100 miles a day is completely achievable.

Those elites in their own territory, without considering logistics, can travel hundreds of miles a day to ensure a certain combat effectiveness.

Of course, such a high-intensity march cannot become the norm. It's fine to come for two days once in a while, if it's every day, unless he can train all his soldiers to become knights.

Just think about it, Hudson is satisfied with being able to have one or two percent of the soldiers, through acquired physical training, and their strength reaches the level of a first-order knight.

In essence, this is still in the exploration stage, and if you want to increase this ratio, the best way is to create a supporting cultivation method and actively absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

Hudson had studied a variety of cultivation systems on the continent of Aslant, but he was still far from creating a universal practice that did not require qualifications.

Aristocrats have arrogance towards commoners, and in addition to their status, cultivation talent is also an important reason.

Hudson had been tested in his territory, and the percentage of commoners' children who had cultivation talent was much lower than that of the aristocratic group.

Hudson prefers to believe that it is genetic optimization compared to the god-given bloodline that is circulating in the outside world.

Marriage within the aristocratic group, both parents have cultivation talents, and the children themselves are a combination of excellent genes.

With the key cultivation of cultivation talent, those who do not have cultivation talent are directly out, generation after generation of survival of the fittest is screened out, and the talent of the younger generations is naturally upward as a whole.

"Two or three months is not a long time, the only problem is that your training method consumes too much material, we can still hold on in a short period of time, and everyone can't stand it for a long time!"

Hearing Earl Oran's complaint, Hudson smiled slightly. He has heard countless similar complaints, but everyone's body is still very honest.

If it weren't for the kingdom's backing and the guaranteed supply of materials, Hudson would not have dared to train his soldiers like this. Including the training of their own private army in the past, the intensity is not so high.

Regardless of the other materials, meat alone consumes more than 200 tons per day.

Looking at the supply of meat provided by the kingdom, we can see that the proportion of fish meat is getting higher and higher, and it is obvious that the production of other meats cannot keep up.

In order to meet the needs of the army, the kingdom issued a decree requiring the local lords to organize manpower to expand pig and poultry breeding.

In fact, even if the kingdom did not ask for it, due to the increased demand for meat in the army, the great nobles in various places would develop the breeding industry themselves.

The upward and downward effects, the big nobles have done it, and the small and medium-sized nobles below do not follow suit. Even if they don't know why, instinct will still make them choose to follow up.

It can be said that Hudson single-handedly led the unprecedented development of the kingdom's aquaculture industry. The only question is whether this enthusiasm can be sustained.

Anyway, Hudson is not optimistic about the development of aquaculture at such a time. It has nothing to do with breeding technology, but mainly about food.

In times of war, the kingdom did not have a surplus of food to feed its livestock. Even if there is grain in the warehouse, the nobles are reluctant to do so.

After all, with the current price system, the price of beef and mutton is only five times that of rye, and the price of pork is only more than three times.

Knowing that everyone's reluctance to use food would not affect the kingdom's war readiness, Hudson didn't bother to pay attention to it.

If the growth cycle is slower, it will be slower, and maybe in the middle and late stages of the war, these animals will still be able to catch up with the slaughter.

The worst thing is that these animals can be raised, and they can also slightly improve the food of the people at the bottom. The aristocracy was reluctant to throw pork.

"All for the sake of winning the war!

The hard times are only temporary, and when the continental war is over and the military pressure is not as great as it is now, our attrition will be reduced.

If you're lucky, you might even get some windfall. We can't afford to mess with the elven clan, and the ghost place where the ancient relics stay has no value for plotting, but the orc savannah kingdom still has a chance to get a piece of the pie.

The Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe were destroyed by the Orcs, and it is still unknown whether they can be restored. Anyway, now that we've all fallen out with our neighbors, it doesn't matter if we offend a little harder.

If we move the border line outwards and divide each family into one county, it will be regarded as our military compensation, and on the whole we should not lose too much. ”

Hudson drew the pie again.

The strongest measure to increase the combat effectiveness of the army is training?

No!

In Hudson's view, that's just a fundamental factor in normal play. If you want everyone to play at a super level, you still have to rely on painting cakes.

It's a very technical test. Ordinary soldiers are easy to fool, and their appetite is not very big, throwing some noble titles out is enough to make them desperate.

But the great nobles in the kingdom are different. These people have good vision and brains, and Hudson doesn't dare to take them for fools.

Even if you are painting a cake, you must draw a cake that everyone can smell. Pure fake emptiness, people can see through it at a glance.

Therefore, the elves and the ancient relics must be excluded, and only the prairie can plot.

Although it is the land of the allies, now that everyone has fallen out, it is not so polite.

One family and one county, everyone has the strength to eat, and at the same time, they can tie the interests of the major forces of the kingdom to the border.

When the neighbors were weak, it was a forward base for foreign expansion; When neighboring countries are strong, everyone can also sincerely cooperate to face the threat of foreign enemies, which is a good choice for all parties.

"Your Excellency, are you so optimistic about this war?"

Count Calais asked in surprise.

Everyone is thinking about how to survive the crisis, and many people are ready to go home after defeat and stick to the castle, it is really hard to imagine that their own coach has sharpened his knives......

"Haha......"

"Count Calles, there is always a mix of risk and opportunity. As long as we fight fast enough on the battlefield, we can win this war.

The Orc Empire has declined, and the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe are nominally seven countries, but the military strength of a single country may not be able to catch up with you.

None of the orcs were able to destroy such an opponent in one fell swoop, doesn't that explain the problem?

Defeated the Orc Empire, in the blitz of the Ancient Relic Alliance, we negotiated the rest of the Elves.

Anyway, we don't have a border with them, there was no hatred in the past, and there was a basis for compromise between the two sides. ”

kept fooling all parties, and said a lot of things too many times, and Hudson himself was about to believe it.

The slow progress on the battlefield of the Orc Empire is not only due to military strength, but also due to logistical pressure.

How rich the seven countries of the steppe are, I am afraid that the rats will shed tears when they go, and the loot is pitiful.

There is no need for strong walls to clear the wilderness, they themselves are a "clear". For some of the orc races that eat grass, it's not a big problem.

The local noble lords have no determination to fight to the death, so they naturally will not force the people to feed the orcs.

There was not much population in the first place, and as soon as they dispersed in the vast prairie, there were even fewer "vegetable people" captured by the orc army.

The lessons of the last war still made the orc empire more memorable. Considering the issue of internal unity, the five royal families also had to be more restrained, and did not dare to openly use the cannon fodder race as military food.

In addition, I was worried that the loss of troops would be too great, and when it came to attacking the city, I didn't work as hard as before.

Especially after realizing that the defenders were just trying to stall for time and give an explanation to the Terran Alliance, he was even less interested in storming.

Under the superposition of multiple factors, the attack speed of the orc army seems to be very weak.

Regardless of what the truth is, in the mouth of Hudson, the head coach of the kingdom, it must be a manifestation of the decline of the orcs.

In line with the principle of fooling one counts as one, Hudson did not hesitate to brainwash everyone over and over again.

The later strategies are all based on the premise of a quick victory against the orcs. If something happens on the battlefield, then it's as if Lord Hudson didn't say anything.

Judging from the current situation, there are still very few nobles who believe in this judgment.

The main thing is that these guys in high positions, not only do they have good brains, but they also have a group of think tanks behind them to help analyze, which is really not easy to fool.

Knowing that it was a fool, he still ran over to attend the party, but in essence, he still had no bottom in his heart and wanted to seek psychological comfort.

Of course, these suspicions were limited to the gathering of the great nobles, and they all showed confidence when they went outside.

Every time I go back, everyone will pass on the Hastelloy Dafa to his subordinates after artistic processing.

In a word, they, the high-ranking of the kingdom, can be suspicious, but the middle and lower nobles and low-level soldiers below must firmly believe that the kingdom can win the war.

If there is a setback on the battlefield in the future, it will be after everyone works together - the kingdom wins the war.

Any doubts and problems must be analyzed with the conclusion that "the kingdom can win the war."
