In the Emerald Palace, the high-level officials of the kingdom gathered again, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

It's really "what to be afraid of, what to come".

The Alpha Kingdom has been trying to stabilize the elves and prevent them from joining this war, but unfortunately it has failed.

The elven army did not come to the kill, but the elven mages appeared on the battlefield first.

"The elves joining the war is both unexpected and reasonable.

From the moment they refused to sign a non-aggression pact with the kingdom, everyone knew the result in their minds, and now it was nothing more than that they entered the war a little earlier.

Magicians have a special position in the army, and they have always been the focus of protection by all parties, and the probability of death is relatively smaller.

From the standpoint of the elves, sending a mage to help an ally fight is actually a very cost-effective act.

Joining the war in advance, perhaps the elves realized the danger and realized that this continental war was different from the past. ”

Hudson was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

No matter how bottomless he is in his heart, at this time, he, the commander in the army, can't panic.

Kingdom unity is based on the premise that we can get through crises together. If you really don't see any hope, you will inevitably have to fend for yourself in advance.

Looking at the performance of the magnates of the countries on the front line, you can see that those big nobles have already secretly transferred some of their children, and only the forces on the battlefield appear on the battlefield.

If everyone is willing to fight hard, the coalition forces on the Western Front will not be frightened by a few forbidden spells and retreat.

Although the mage division sent by the elves was powerful, it did not exceed the boundary.

Once the large-scale magic that is cast by the magic array begins, it cannot be stopped in the middle of the process.

Otherwise, under the backlash of the forbidden spell, the people of the main array will almost die, and the rest of the spellcasters will be greatly injured if they don't die.

If the coalition forces are willing to fight hard, they can directly rush out and fight the enemy in a bloody battle, without the luxury of defeating the enemy, they only need to close the distance to destroy the spell.

Anyway, it's just a little distance, and the enemy's magician can't run away during the spell casting, even if the enemy desperately intercepts it, it's nothing more than exchanging life for life.

It is completely feasible strategically to take away a regiment of mages of the enemy with heavy losses in one large army.

As long as you do it a few times, the elves will definitely not be able to stand it. They were only here to help, not to exchange lives with the Terran coalition.

"Marshal, why the elves entered the war in advance doesn't matter at all now.

The point is that if they enter the war, the Western Front is doomed to be undefended.

Judging from the current situation, in two months at most, the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom will all fall.

The Western Warhammer Kingdom is mountainous, and the situation is slightly better, but it doesn't help the big picture.

Once the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom is destroyed, the combined forces of the Ancient Relic Alliance and the Elves can enter the Duchy of Moxi and threaten the kingdom's western front.

The countries of the Northern Continent can't count on it, we have put in so much effort before, and the countries have only sent a small number of reinforcements.

Now that the situation is collapsing, everyone will only take care of themselves.

Even if they know that after the collapse of the front line, the flames of war will burn on their own heads, and countries can only take care of the present. ”

Duke Rodriguez said in a deep voice.

Don't panic, once the western front of the kingdom is threatened, the southwestern provinces will definitely have to take care of their own safety first, and the orcs in the north can only face it themselves.

The seven provinces newly recovered by the kingdom seem to have a large territory, but the new nobles in the local area are all in the stage of primitive accumulation of strength.

To be able to delay the enemy army for two or three months, it is all everyone who is desperate, and the final pressure will still fall on the five major families of the Northland.

If they can't stop it, they will die, and with their embarrassing position in the noble circle of the kingdom, there is no second way to choose at all.

Previously, they supported Hudson, the "enemy", as the coach, and the main reason was the strategy of first north and then west.

"Duke Rodriguez, what you said is not bad at all, the elves will definitely not be able to hold the Western Front under normal circumstances.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and the coalition of the Ancient Relic can kill the kingdom from the Duchy of Moxi, and it is also possible to sweep through the other countries of the Northern Continent from the Duchy of Orton.

If the elves also send troops on a large scale to destroy the Duchy of Kantru, the Duchy of Usda, and the Duchy of Fik, and the two of them go south after completing the meeting in the Duchy of Orton, there will be no force in the northern continent to stop them.

The elves have a limited population and a limited need for land. Even if there is ambition to expand, the three principalities of Canteru, Usda, and Fik together are enough for them to digest for many years.

The interior of the Ancient Relic is a bit more complicated, requiring a lot of land under the sun, but eating things and the Warhammer Kingdom can choke them on.

Do you guess they will join forces to invade the kingdom, or will they go south to help the alien alliance break the siege? ”

Under Hudson's deliberate guidance, everyone's faces looked much better.

The population of the elves and the ancient relics is not large, and neither side has the strength to encroach on the entire Northern Continent in a short period of time.

Theoretically, even if it is an invasion of the Alpha Kingdom, it is making a wedding dress for the orcs.

However, for these theories to be valid, there must also be a premise - the elves really want to save the alien alliance, and they can't delay too much time in the Alpha Kingdom.

"Marshal, if the kingdom is not the target of the elves, then will we refuse the Moxies' request for help?"

I don't know if it was because of political incompetence or deliberate eye medicine, Duke Hiro's questioning made Caesar IV very unhappy.

This kind of decision-making involving the life and death of the kingdom, why should you ask him first, the king, how can he let the marshal be in charge?

Everyone's attention was focused on Hudson, and they didn't bother to pay attention to his thoughts as a king.

If he is unhappy, he can only hold back, if he is really allowed to make a decision, Caesar IV will also panic.

In this kind of life-and-death situation, any mistake in judgment in detail will bring huge losses to the kingdom.

"Reinforcements still have to be sent, judging from the current situation, if the Western Front does not fight a war, I am afraid it will be difficult to be stable.

The exact number of troops to be sent and how this battle should be fought will be decided after I have met with the envoys of the Moses to understand the details.

You don't have to worry too much, among the three major alien races in the Northern Continent, the weakest is the Ancient Relic Alliance.

Don't look at them now as a whole, in the past, when they were cowering in the ice and snow world, in order to compete for limited survival resources, there were no fewer conflicts between them.

None of us in the Terran Alliance can unify our interests, and I don't believe that they can reconcile internal contradictions in an alliance composed of many ancient races.

Before they took the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom, they still had a common goal, and once they took it, the situation changed.

Perhaps some races want to go further and get a broader living space; But there are also many races who are content with the status quo and just want to be given a piece of fertile land to recuperate.

In the case of successive victories, these internal contradictions can still be suppressed, and once they suffer a major defeat on the battlefield, the contradictions will be exposed.

Unless the Interracial Alliance wins this continental war and pulls our Terran from the position of the overlord of the continent, there should be no alien race who wants to be our neighbors! ”

】

Hudson said with a pretentious pretense.

If you don't understand the situation, you may think that the Alpha Kingdom will win and can wipe out the ancient remnants alliance at any time.

In fact, Hudson had no idea how many reinforcements to send now, and how to fight this battle.

It's not that he is incompetent, but the main thing is that he rushed to the palace after receiving the news, and he didn't even know much about the situation at the front.

Strategizing and making decisions thousands of miles away is based on an in-depth understanding of the enemy.

The information Hudson now has is the same as what the kingdom had collected before. The situation is changing so quickly, who can guarantee that the current alliance of the ancient relics is still the original loose alliance?

Including the understanding of the elves, the intelligence work is also very lagging behind.

In the transcendent world, many things cannot be extrapolated from the analysis of interests and inherent logic.

If the legendary elven goddess issued an oracle, the elves who were obsessed with art could also be turned into killing machines.

Or maybe it is to obtain some treasure that has increased the fertility of the elf race, and they will immediately be the main force fighting for the hegemony of the continent.

Or if a cult organization does something and bewitches the officers on the front line, it can also cause changes in the situation.

"In addition to the problems of the Western Front, the problem of the southeast coast has also reached the time to be resolved, and the Holy See fleet has set off and is expected to arrive in half a month.

We have already let out the rumors, and the momentum has been created for the Holy See, but it is still unknown whether they will enter the Misty Sea.

Marshal, you fought with the ghost ship. If the Holy See's fleet met them in the Misty Seas, how much trouble would it bring to the Holy See? ”

From the addition of gray hair on Earl Pierce's head, Hudson knew he had been worrying a lot lately.

It's right to think that the Holy See Treasure Hunt Fleet is missing, and they are the number one suspect.

As long as the Holy See tracks it down, sooner or later it will be traced to the Dalton family fleet.

Although it was Hudson who did the crime, no one believed this kind of thing!

What's more, they were not completely uninvolved, at least they destroyed the pirate ship, cut off the return route of the treasure hunting team, and by the way, they also shared the credit for contributing artifacts to the kingdom.

With this merit, when another papacy is established in the future, they will most likely be able to add the word "holy" in front of the family title.

It is also a natural thing to recommend personnel to obtain a high position in the new Holy See.

The benefits are all predetermined, so the Holy See's revenge will naturally not be avoided.

For the sake of their own safety, it is undoubtedly the best choice to let the kingdom fight against the Holy See in front.

There is no surprise that the plan of action for the Holy See is also a credit to Hudson, and in essence, the two are singing double yellow.

"Don't worry, those three ghost ships aren't easy. Ordinary attacks have no lethal effect on them at all.

In particular, they also have a set of secret methods, which can raise the three ghost kings to the level of the holy realm in a short period of time, and with the characteristics of the ghosts themselves, it is simply invincible to sneak attack ordinary eighth-order powerhouses.

There were dozens of warships that were in the sea that day, and we were not able to keep them.

After entering the Sea of Mist, the Magic Crystal Cannon cannot be aimed at the target, and the warship is similar to a normal merchant ship.

Even if there are many magicians in the Holy See's army, who can dispel the fog, they can't resist the continuous flow of fog.

Especially at night, I'm afraid that the ghost ship is approaching, and they may not be able to detect it in time.

The ghost ship is not destroyed, the ghost is not destroyed.

Fighting these immortal monsters, once you can't use the magic crystal cannon, ordinary soldiers can't be used at all.

The only way to destroy the ghost ship is to cast a single-body forbidden spell that is devastating.

The ghosts are not stupid, and if they can't win, they will run. Covered by fog, it is difficult for the forbidden spell to hit the target.

Whether or not the ghost ship can be destroyed, the Holy See's fleet will suffer heavy losses. If they are unlucky, they get lost in it, or they break into dangerous unknown and unfamiliar waters, they may be wiped out.

All we need to do is make up for it when it counts. If the losses of the Holy See fleet are not significant, then the plan is temporarily terminated. ”

Hudson flickered hard.

Let the ghost ship "rob" the Holy See fleet by itself, there must be no chance of victory, but there is also him, the behind-the-scenes controller!

Now it is necessary to strengthen the confidence of the kingdom and make it possible to lure the enemy into the misty seas.

The greater the losses of the Holy See, the greater the gains for Hudson. Feeding the ghost ship is secondary, and the key is to be able to make the danger of the misty seas deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Everyone didn't dare to go, so it became his back garden.

It is impossible for such a large area of sea to be worthless. At the least, there is also a hidden overseas base where you can store some shady things.

……

On the grassland, the orc army suddenly strengthened its offensive, and the pressure on the remaining Terran countries increased greatly for a while.

Philip I was speechless at the moment, the orcs seemed to have a life-and-death feud with him, and recently they were always caught and beaten by the Kingdom of Frantron.

The reason is very clear to him, it is nothing more than that they control the only large port on the steppe, and only by taking this place can they cut off the support of the Terran Alliance for them.

"The orcs are crazy and don't give us a chance to breathe.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must hurry up, and our negotiations with the Alpha Kingdom must be accelerated, and if it is slow, it will immediately become the Four Steppe Kingdoms! ”

Philip I said angrily.

A runaway diplomatic dispute cut off his evacuation plans. Deep down, he had greeted all the magnates of the Alpha Kingdom.

But there was no way, and the negotiations still had to continue. Each additional force evacuated will have a better chance of recovering the country in the future.

If he is a bare pole, even if he really recovers the country in the future, he will not be able to control the situation.

"Your Majesty, the Holy See's fleet has gone north, and the Arfa should not dare to block the route, can we ......?"

Before the Foreign Secretary could finish speaking, Philip I interrupted; "They really don't block the route, they just make our fleet unexpected.

For example, the ghost ship they are encircling and suppressing is the best target to take the blame.

What's more, the people of the Holy See can be relied upon?

Even their very existence is a threat!

Don't forget where we're from.

In the eyes of the Holy See, you and I are heretics. ”

It's not okay to be irrational, but my brother is a strongman who declares the Pope illegal. On the front line of the confrontation between the monarchy and the theocracy, there is no possibility of détente between the two sides.

No matter how ugly the Alpha Kingdom looked, they didn't dare to kill him, and even entertained him with good wine and meat, and sent him back to China according to the rules.

Falling into the hands of the Holy See, good luck becomes a bargaining chip in negotiations, and bad luck is directly buried in the sea.

The crime of killing the monarch is stressful for individuals to carry on their backs, but the wind and waves at sea do not matter.

There is no difficulty for the Holy See to create an accidental killing of chickens and monkeys.

"Your Majesty, if the negotiations are to be accelerated, major concessions must be made.

Alfa's fleet has already appeared in the open sea, just waiting to receive refugees. If I show a little bit of sincerity first, it will be of great help to the next negotiations. ”

Doni suggested.

The fleet did come, but not on behalf of the Alpha Kingdom, but on the temporary hire of Lord Hudson.

Robbing people has always been fast, slow and slow. Hudson, who is familiar with the rules of the game, will naturally plan ahead.

That's where your connections come to the test.

As the head of logistics during the conquest of the Orc Empire, Hudson's social circle was not small. Doni, who also participated in the last war, had a lost relationship with Hudson because he received grain and grass a few times.

In normal times, such a little relationship is useless, but now the situation is different.

Doni didn't want his family's painstaking accumulation to be ruined, and Hudson also set his sights on refugees from the steppe countries. The representatives of the two sides communicated privately and directly hit it off and finalized the cooperation.

Philip I, who didn't know that his people had made a deal and only thought that it was needed for negotiations, naturally would not refuse such an offer that would help solve the problem.

"Then send them some refugees first, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will handle the specific situation at its own discretion. Everything is in the interests of the Kingdom! ”
