Looking at the alien army that appeared in the sky, and then at his own team, Raquel's brow suddenly furrowed.

After all, the time is still too short, and we can only barely complete the reorganization of the defeated troops, and there is no time to train the troops, let alone think about it if you command freely.

There is a team of warlords staring, and it is okay to defend the city and perform other combat tasks, I am afraid that it will collapse as soon as it leaves the city.

"Pass the order, the magic crystal cannon is aimed at the enemy camp and fire a salvo!"

Raquel sighed.

His own strength is not good, and he can't take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to launch a surprise attack, so he can only rely on the magic crystal cannon to give the opponent a dismount.

It doesn't matter how effective it is, the key is to give yourself the courage to do so. Looking at the reaction of the soldiers on the city wall, you can see that before the enemy has attacked, some people are shaking their legs.

The roaring sound of artillery kicked off the prelude to the war.

The flying cannonballs, the dirt that splashed up after the explosion sprayed the giant general's face, which immediately angered the commander-in-chief.

The eighteen-meter-tall behemoth picked up a boulder with a diameter of one and a half meters and smashed it towards the city wall, and roared in his mouth: "Counterattack!" ”

The giants in the team got busy, some picking up boulders, others uprooting trees...... Say hello directly to the city walls.

A boulder that fell from the sky directly smashed into the three soldiers defending the city, and there was an extra puddle of flesh and mud in an instant.

As if to awaken the memory of panic in their bones, many soldiers defending the city directly dropped their weapons and wanted to flee the battlefield, so angry that Raquel pulled out his knight's sword on the spot and personally killed two deserters.

The Warlords also took action, relying on the heads of the people hanging from the city towers to stop the farce.

didn't say anything on his lips, and deep down Laquel was also shocked. Fighting against magic technology with flesh and blood, it's no wonder that the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom collapsed so quickly.

If the number of giants increases, I am afraid that the pattern of the Aslant continent will change accordingly.

As far as he knew, these big men of more than ten meters in front of him could only be regarded as an average level among the giant clan.

Judging from the information collected by the principality, the largest giant that has appeared on the battlefield is more than thirty meters in size.

When a player of this level appears on the battlefield, it is a proper big killer.

"It's a race that can stand up to dragons!"

Raquel couldn't help but sigh.

This is an exaggeration, and a giant who can stand up to a dragon does exist, but it is the legendary Titan.

casually fifty or sixty meters tall, and Niu Cha's body size can even exceed 100 meters, these big perverts are the same level of players as the dragon.

As if cursed, the mighty Titans were extinct in ancient times.

The remaining bloodline is inherited among the giants, and occasionally when luck comes, maybe they will be able to awaken a wave, but this is all short-lived.

Ordinary giants are still strong compared to the Terrans, but their numbers have made them withdraw from the continental stage.

Seeing the decline of the Warhammer Kingdom, the giant clan that had been recuperating for hundreds of years, and whose territorial resources could no longer meet the needs of racial development, came back with a group of ancient relics.

"Calm down, Catem, and don't forget our mission!"

The octaclawed monster scolded.

When it comes to this impulsive partner, Holt is also very helpless. But there is no way, they have been huddled together for many years to keep warm.

If it is said that the giants typically only grow muscles, not brains; Then their multi-clawed clan is the other extreme.

Under the pressure of survival, two races with complementary talents naturally came together.

In fact, the giants are not completely brainless. It's just that there are only a few giants with brains, and most of them are impulsive goods.

The multi-clawed clan is not a pure weak chicken, but compared to the ancient relics of the ice and snow world, the overall strength of the race is weak, for example, Holt is a strong man.

Judging their strength is very simple, just count the claws. One paw represents the first order, and eight paws represent the eighth order.

As the vanguard, their mission was not to attack the city, but to lure out the Terran army in the city, or to intimidate them into leaving.

There is no doubt that this mission must have failed. Thinking of this, Holt was angry, and since partnering with Catem, except for successfully scaring off the enemy twice, the rest of the missions have ended in failure.

The Alliance of the Ancient Relic Clans was able to unite, and naturally formulated corresponding regulations to restrain everyone's behavior.

For example, the distribution of territories after the war, which everyone is most concerned about, is linked to the merits achieved on the battlefield.

After such a toss by Catem, it is naturally impossible for the defenders in the city to sneak out of the city to attack. There is no running away now, which means that there is a high probability of a bloody battle next.

For the Alliance of the Ancient Relic Clans, the land they want, the siege war with low returns can not be fought, and it is better not to fight.

Who made the number of Dingkou of all the clans in the alliance limited?

If they hadn't prepared in advance, they would have been able to fight hard now, and when the Terrans launched a counterattack, they would not be able to parry.

"Holt, it's none of my business. It's all the Terrans who did it first, and I just let my men fight back.

Besides, the front was not very smooth, just to intimidate the defenders, they were scared and ran around.

Let me try again, maybe the defenders in the city will be scared away, and we will not even be able to siege the city. ”

Catum exclaimed.

If it weren't for the sound of artillery fire, I'm afraid the defenders on the opposite side would have been able to hear it.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Holt really wanted to let the big guy in front of him continue, anyway, it wasn't his multi-claw people who died.

But in the end, reason prevailed, and the clan had long analyzed: taking advantage of the fact that the human race did not have the time to take care of the Northern Continent, it was okay to take advantage of this war; If you have too much appetite, you will definitely pay a terrible price in the future.

In the alliance of the ancient relics, the multi-claw clan is a typical one. However, the progress in the early stage went smoothly, allowing the main battle faction to occupy the absolute upper hand.

If you can't change the overall situation, you can only save your strength. Not only do you have to keep your own, but you also have to take care of your allies.

After all, the giants are a little impulsive, but the advantage is that they don't have much heart, and they don't need to worry about being betrayed by their allies all the time!

"Enough, Catem!

This is the Duchy of Moxi, and the defenders are not the Warhammers who have been terrified by us. Don't fight a few hard fights. How can the enemy be intimidated by us?

There's no need to make senseless sacrifices to get your men out of range of the enemy's crystal cannons and wait for the big army to come before attacking.

Don't forget, your giant clan has a population of tens of thousands, and if you suffer heavy losses here, how will you go back and explain? ”

Holt said angrily.

Flesh and blood against magical technology, that comes at a price. In a short encounter, more than a dozen giants paid the price with their lives, and dozens more were injured.

The casualties on the defender's side are even greater, but they can't stand the number of Terrans!

In the interracial alliance, except for the number of orcs who can be unscrupulous, the fertility of other races cannot catch up with that of the human race.

In order to reduce the losses of his soldiers, Holt preferred to be less efficient and wait for the main force to come.

With the elves acting as wet nurses, the magic weapons and equipment of the Ancient Relic Alliance are not weak. What's more, there is also the accompanying magician group, which is a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications.

Of course, in addition to the lack of siege weapons, the most important thing is the lack of troops.

Together, several races could not gather an army of three thousand. If it weren't for the five hundred giants among them, he wouldn't dare to hang around here with his team.

……

"The enemy is back!"

"The enemy is back!"

……

Hearing the cheers of the defenders, the solemn look on Raquel's face slowed slightly, and then sank again.

Today, this catastrophe has passed, but what should we do next?

Under the influence of the Alfa people, the Duchy of Mossi also deployed multiple lines of defense along the border. The Augsburg Line was the first and strongest line of defense of the principality.

Retreat is fine, but it must be done after giving the enemy a certain amount of damage and buying a certain amount of time for the principality.

Don't try to make peace without hurting the enemy. Even if there is an ally of the Alpha Kingdom, you can't pin all your hopes on others.

"Pass the order, the whole army will strengthen its vigilance and strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attack!

In addition, send someone to the royal capital to send a message, the defense of Augustburg has begun, and we need the strength of our allies.

If reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom can't come for a while, then invite Marshal Hudson over first and help us command the army! ”

Such cowardly words should not come from the mouth of a front-line officer. If it falls into the hands of political opponents, it is a ready-made handle.

But Raquel doesn't care, even if a little problem causes a storm, the old man of the royal capital will clean up the aftermath for him.

Now he is the heir of the family, and the political power he can use is far from being comparable to that of the gentleman back then.

Anyway, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. The last time the orcs invaded in the middle or late stages of the war, the Duchy army was put under Hudson's command, and it was no big deal to do it again.

Raquel was not in the slightest worried about opposition. In the last war, almost all of the best sons and daughters of the Nabo nobles in the Principality of Moxi were buried on the battlefield.

Now the characteristics of the army, that is a typical successor. Just look at his own appointment, if there were a better option, the king would never appoint him as the front-line manager.

The character of the gentleman for more than ten years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how can it be changed by one or two wars.

Catch the ducks on the shelves and be pushed to the position of the governor of the front, the biggest problem is the lack of generals in the principality!

Including the previous George spent a lot of money to dig up the wall foot from the Alpha Kingdom, he was also forced out by reality.

It's a pity that those small and medium-sized nobles, although they have inherited the fine tradition of martial arts in the Alpha Kingdom, their own abilities are still very limited.

The elite of the officers who served as the rank of corps commander were barely competent. To be the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands is purely difficult for a strongman.

……

In the large camp of the expeditionary force, looking at the problems summarized by various troops, Hudson did not rush to solve them, but instead delegated authority to the officers below to deal with them.

The rapid march and training itself is a preparation for the attack. The problem encountered was actually the exam questions Hudson gave to the officers below.

Those with high scores will be assigned important tasks, and those with poor performance will be transferred, and those who should be dismissed will be dismissed.

Time is too tight, there is no time to systematically train the officers, and they can only play screening.

Compared with the current test, it is the real challenge encountered on the battlefield in the future.

Hudson can't guarantee that every next big battle will be personally led and commanded, and more often than not, everyone will have to play freely.

"Marshal, I have just received news from the realm that the great nobles of the coastal provinces have signed peace treaties with the ghost ships.

It's just that I don't know what happened, and the news suddenly leaked out, and Jacob was worried that the matter would cause a storm of public opinion......"

The army has its own rules in the army, and since the formation of the expeditionary force, Hudson has only one title left here - marshal.

Listening to Jose's story, Hudson smiled slightly. Leaks are inevitable, and if they don't leak the news, how dare businessmen go to sea.

When something like this happens, a storm of public opinion is sure to happen. The Holy See, which has suffered such a big loss, would not be normal if it did not take the opportunity to vent the evil spirit in its chest.

It was precisely because it was expected in advance that it was the great nobles who signed the contract with the Ghost King, not the Alpha Kingdom.

It is indeed unjustifiable for a kingdom to compromise with heresy. But when things are left on the nobles, it is completely different.

The murderous reputation of the "Three Kings of the Netherworld" resounded throughout the continent, and the local nobles could not afford to provoke them, and they were forced to sign unequal treaties, which is logically completely reasonable!

If nothing else, under the pressure of public opinion, everyone will also cooperate to fund and hang a task in the Mercenary Guild to exterminate the Three Kings of the Netherworld.

It doesn't matter whether there is someone to take the order, the key is to have enough attitude to prove that everyone and the ghost ship are incompatible.

"Tell Jacob not to worry about these little things. If public opinion is out of control, go to the Mercenary Guild with everyone to hang up the task.

In addition to rehousing the refugees, the most important task for him next is to store more grain.

The next season will not be fallow, and the soybeans will be planted in rotation, and the fallow will resume after the war is over. ”

Hudson said with a blank face.

Continuous cultivation is very easy to hurt the fertility of the land. However, the situation of the mountain collar is special, in addition to the use of farmhouse fertilizer, it is also using swamp brand fertilizer.

With these external forces, even if the fertility of the land is damaged, it will not be too serious. At most, the yield will be slightly reduced, and it will still be a bumper harvest in the outside world.

It is worth it to sacrifice a little fertility of the land in exchange for a short-term increase in the food production capacity of the territory.

Who made the number of refugees in the Duchy of Moxi increase again?

The local nobles are about to use their strength to eat, but they still can't help it. Diaspora to neighbouring countries has also become the best solution to the refugee crisis.

Hudson, who took the initiative to send it to the door, naturally enjoyed the first wave of dividends. The first 200,000 refugees are now on their way.

The second batch of 300,000 refugees is also beginning to assemble, and it is estimated that they will be able to leave by the end of the month.

Even the third group of refugees, the Mossi had a plan. It is estimated that when Hudson's army crosses the border, it will be implemented.

With such a large number of people, it is naturally impossible to be just right. The first batch of 200,000 refugees is actually an imaginary number.

Dense crowds, scurrying around. Along the way, there are people who continue to join, and some fall on the way, and how many people there are, the official of the Principality of Moxi is not clear.

If nothing else, the follow-up immigration work is all played like this.

It is also very likely that the number of refugees entering the Duchy of Moxi remains high, and the total number of immigrants in the end exceeds one and a half million.

If you don't want to choke on pies, you can only prepare food in advance. The pre-storage was not sufficient, and the market was regulated by the kingdom, so the next step was to tap its own food production potential.

"Yes, Marshal. I'll write back to Jacob later.

In addition, there is another letter of help from the Duchy of Moxi, hoping that you can go over and help them command the army first.

Judging from the information gathered by the kingdom, the preparations for the Mossi are still very good, but they themselves seem to have no confidence.

It was as if the officers on the front line had no confidence in themselves, and the princes and ministers of the principality also doubted the ability of their commanders. ”

Frankly, José didn't believe it when he first received the news. If you don't have confidence, then change people!

But after learning about the actual situation in the Duchy of Moxi, he expressed his understanding.

Those who are able are loyal to the principality. The rest are short generals, and if they can make do with it, let's have fun!

Controlling more routs than his own army, and not being demoralized, it proves that the Moses still have a brave spirit.

"Where are we located, how far is it from Augsburg?"

Hudson asked with concern.

"Eight hundred and seventy miles. At our current pace of march, we will be able to reach it in ten days at most. ”

José replied without even thinking about it.

As the chief staff officer in Hudson's army, he knew all kinds of data by heart. Distance, marching speed, these basic data, naturally come at your fingertips.

After wandering a few steps inside the tent, Hudson looked at the map on the wall and said slowly, "At this point in time, the Battle of Augustburg should have begun.

Defender Raquel, I know this person. It's okay to let him defend the city to the death, and it is almost impossible to expect him to flexibly use his troops to fight back against the alien army.

The Moses had too many troops in the army stationed at Fort August, and the morale of the defenders was certainly not high, and I am afraid that they would not last long.

I have a feeling that the fighter plane will appear soon. Perhaps the day of the fall of Augsburg is when we take action.

The order went down, and the march was doubled from tomorrow. If the pony carrying the supplies can't keep up, use a magic potion on them. ”
