Chapter 103, Fighting and Plotting
Outside Augustburg, the camp of the Allied Army of the Ancient Relics.
Representatives of dozens of races gathered together, arguing non-stop about how to siege the city, and the elven old man frowned.
Internal contradictions are the common enemy of all alliances.
Even if the elves have been trying to reconcile the contradictions, they have not been able to change the quarrel.
This is the pot of the Terrans.
When the Warhammer Kingdom was strong, in order to protect its own interests, it has been creating conflicts in the ice and snow world.
Digging pits and burying mines is secondary, and the key is the implementation of the policy of racial balance.
Whichever race has signs of rising, it will suppress whichever race, so that the strength of multiple races in the Ancient Relic Alliance is at the same level.
The contradictions are evenly matched, and it is difficult for the Ancient Relic Alliance not to be lively.
If it weren't for the death of the Warhammer Kingdom and the tossing of themselves to death, and if this gameplay continued, these ancient relics would not be able to make a big wave at all.
"Enough!"
"The continental war has entered a critical moment, the human race has gained the upper hand in the southern continent, continue to quarrel here and waste time, just wait for people to come over and settle accounts after the autumn!"
The elven old man, who couldn't bear it, opened his mouth and reprimanded.
Anyway, these guys are on the chariot, and it's too late to go down at the moment. If you don't want to be settled by the autumn, you can only move forward.
It's just the old man's reprimand, which can't convince everyone. The essence of quarrels is that everyone wants others to contribute more and share less benefits.
Just like the elves who encouraged the Ancient Relic Alliance to send troops, the core is to reduce the losses of their own families.
It doesn't matter what you think in your heart, everyone is still quiet on the surface, after all, in the next war, everyone still has to rely on the elf clan.
"Everyone has their own reasons, and the quarrel is destined to be fruitless, and it is impossible to say who is forced to give in.
Just write out all the tasks and we'll go straight to the draw. Whatever task is drawn, you will complete any task, and no one will continue to pass the buck.
Dear Remo Priest, I beg you to be a witness. ”
Deliger said with a serious face.
A solution was proposed, but the annoyance between the eyebrows was still exposed.
Unlike other races, the Wraiths have always been a marginal race in the continent of Aslant and have never had a glorious history.
The population is small, and the cultivation is illusion, so the demand for resources is not large.
No need to ask for nothing.
Participating in this war, it was completely the surrounding neighbors who joined in, and the independent special forces were in danger of extinction, so they had to follow.
was forcibly pulled in, and naturally looked down on the chaos in the alliance.
"Okay, I'll do this testimony."
The elf old man agreed.
It doesn't matter who the dirty work falls on, it has nothing to do with the elves. All they came to support was a group of magicians, and everywhere they were a baby bump.
If the siege is blocked, it is a big deal to release a forbidden spell. No matter how crazy you are, you can't make a magician charge.
……
In the Half-Orc Kingdom, in the face of the war of annihilation launched by the Frankish Kingdom, they have already used their strength to eat, and in the end, they will inevitably start the battle to defend the royal capital.
Looking at the refugees gathered outside the city, Azevedo XVII said with a solemn expression: "Franks, this is to kill them all!" ”
The loss of a large amount of land also means a large loss of population.
The Frankish kingdom didn't play genocide from the beginning, but their gameplay was more brutal than outright slaughter.
A large number of orcs were expelled from their homes and embarked on the path of exile. It seems to give a way out, but in fact, it is to disrupt the rear of the orc kingdom.
This is the conspiracy of the Franks. No matter what the Orc Kingdom takes, the end result is wrong.
Giving supplies for relief will deplete strategic material reserves and affect their war potential.
Leave it alone, the stomach is very bad for refugees, but you can do anything.
You can't do the slaughter of refugees yourself, can you?
Although the Orc Kingdom is in a barbaric era, this order to massacre its own people will still cause resistance among its people.
Faced with the continuous influx of refugees, for the safety of the royal capital, Azevedo XVII had to order the closure of the royal city and prohibit refugees from entering.
However, this is also a palliative rather than a cure, and refugees outside the city are a hidden danger after all. Once the Frankish army arrived, these people were cannon fodder for the siege.
In the previous continental wars, similar cases have happened countless times.
"Your Majesty, the law of the jungle is the essence of the continent of Aslante. For the continuation of the race, someone will have to sacrifice after all.
Except for the dragons of the ancient era, the overlords of the continent of all dynasties wanted to dominate the continent alone.
But these races eventually fell behind.
The Terrans do not know how to restrain their ambitions, and sooner or later they will have to pay for it. We just need to hold the front and wait for the situation to reverse. ”
Prime Minister Philippon opened his mouth to comfort.
The overlords of the continent did have times of decline, but before they fell, countless races had already paid the price of extinction.
The great clan that can be passed down from ancient times to the present, which family is not stained with blood in their hands?
Land resources do not fall from the sky, and if you want to better pass on civilization, you must fight for it.
Any soft-heartedness may bring disaster to one's own race in the future.
"Send a message to the elves and tell them that the kingdom is going to be overwhelmed. If we don't see any more reinforcements, we'll surrender to the Terrans! ”
Azevedo XVII said viciously.
The surrender of the Ju clan means a complete admission of defeat.
There is a high probability that he will become cannon fodder and become a sharp blade in the hands of the human race to attack all races.
After a few battles, the family wealth was completely tossed away, and there was only one way to rely on the human race to make a living.
In this case, it can only be said that it is better than exterminating the clan, but if there is a choice, everyone will not do this.
But once it does, the consequences are very serious.
As a result of one increase and one decrease, there is an imbalance of strength between the Terran and the alien alliance, and the war in the southern continent is very likely to end in a short time.
The victorious countries, even if they divide a tenth of their forces to reinforce their allies, will change the tide of the war in the Middle Continent.
If the war between the two places ends with the victory of the Terrans, it is useless for the Northern Continent to fight well.
In particular, the current war trend in the Northern Continent has not been as smooth sailing as the Interracial Alliance expected.
……
Under the mother tree, the three elven queens gathered together with a sad brow.
"Eldest sister, this group of disgusting orcs is really too rampant.
To dare to threaten us with surrender is simply ......"
Maybe she was really angry, and the steppe elf queen couldn't find an adjective for a while.
Threatening allies with surrender is the first time this kind of strange thing has happened in a continental war.
It's a shame to say, but it's effective!
Once the orcs surrender, it will be a stimulus to the entire continental battlefield.
In case other races can't afford the casualties and follow suit, then they will be done directly.
Judging from the current situation on the continent as a whole, if all the alien races work together, the human race has no certainty of victory.
As long as the alien race is willing to surrender, the Terran nations will inevitably accept it.
Compared with military means, political means are the strength of the Terrans. When given a choice, the Terran nobles also did not want to fight hard.
But in this way, the elves will be embarrassed.
What would they do if the other aliens surrendered to the Terrans?
followed the surrender, and couldn't stand the grievance; Sticking to it alone seems to be too risky.
If it is used by the Terrans to make an example of chickens and monkeys, it will be a real tragedy. The situation was ten times worse than the worst they had expected.
"Second sister, don't be angry. The more times like these, the more we have to hold our ground.
Azevedo XVII should have been forced to speak in a hurry, which does not mean that he really wants to surrender to the Terrans.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will choose to persevere.
It seems that the situation in the Orc Kingdom is even worse than we know. The original level of support was no longer enough to help them stabilize the situation.
Take military action in advance!
Destroy the three kingdoms of Cantru, Usda, and Fik first, and make a gesture to show your allies.
At the same time, a group of magicians was sent to the orc kingdom to help them stabilize the situation first. ”
As she spoke, the Forest Elf Queen's heart seemed to be dripping blood.
It is easy to enter the war, but it is difficult to end the war.
Because of the proximity to the elves, the development of the three principalities of Cantru, Usda, and Fik has not been smooth, especially the slow growth of military strength.
The proportion of the population and the number of masters are seriously disproportionate. The premature mortality rate of genius children is even more surprisingly high.
To deal with such an opponent, the elves do not have any pressure. The only question is how much it will cost you.
"Eldest sister, otherwise, after the destruction of the Three Kingdoms, we will act together with the army of the Ancient Relic Alliance, right?"
The Night Elf Queen couldn't help but suggest.
"Third sister, this matter has to be discussed in the long run. When everyone joins forces, there will be more contradictions and conflicts between each other, which is not conducive to playing. ”
The Forest Elf Queen shook her head and said.
It's not that she doesn't want to act with her allies, it's that the elves are too good looking and fit the aesthetics of most races.
Based on past experience, as long as they act in a joint manner, they will eventually do things that are not conducive to unity because some people are in the brain.
It's just that the elves are not a race that can swallow their anger, and when they encounter things, they will only make a big fuss, and they will not suppress them.
In case the old thing repeats itself, and it is not good to deal with the enemy, the allies will fight among themselves first.
……
The changes in the international situation have directly affected the Moxi battlefield. The participation of the elves in the war directly stimulated the alliance of the ancient relics and the orc empire.
Now everyone has one point of view, the battlefield in the Northern Continent is stable. No matter how the countries of the Northern Continent struggle, they are also powerless to resist the alliance of the three major alien races.
Without any hesitation, the alliance of orcs and ancient remnants unanimously made a decision - to increase the intensity of the attack.
I can't drag it out. If they continue to grind, when they want to distribute the loot in the future, they will have nothing to do.
When it comes to interests, allies are not easy to use. Especially the Ancient Relic Alliance, which was originally close to the elven race, was even more stimulated.
Everyone knows that in ancient times, the elven race suffered a big loss from a vassal race.
After expelling the Terrans from the Northern Continent this time, even if there is too much land to use, even if it is left to the Warcraft to live, it is impossible for them to give it to other intelligent races.
If you want to leave enough space for your own race to survive, the only option is to grab the territory quickly.
Anyway, the Ancient Relic Alliance is composed of many races, and even if the cake is too big, it will become smaller when it is distributed to each race.
If you can't threaten the elves, you naturally don't need to worry about attracting jealousy. There is a great enemy of the human race, and the alliance can last for many years.
The alien coalition moved in earnest, and the defenders on the front line of Augustburg were sad. In the face of the enemy's heavy siege, the demoralized defenders were really unable to parry.
With the loss of fortresses and fortresses, Augustburg was once again isolated, and many gray hairs suddenly increased on the top of Raquel's head.
The early collapse of the defenders along the route disrupted his entire military deployment. According to the original plan, the Augsburg line was to withstand the enemy for at least two months.
It's a pity that there are too many pig teammates, and the Warlord can only delay the collapse of the army, but it can't boost the morale of the army.
As long as the rout has escaped once, he will not mind running a second time. It's okay to follow the tailwind, but once they encounter a headwind, these people will be the first to collapse.
In a sense, putting the rout of the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom on the front line is the biggest failure in military deployment.
It's just that the Duchy of Moxi has no choice, and Raquel has no choice. If you don't put the rout on the front line as cannon fodder, will it be possible to throw them to the rear to cause chaos?
The roaring cannon fire is non-stop, but if you listen closely, you will find that the interval between the magic crystal cannons in the city is getting longer and longer, but the frequency of the cannon fire outside the city is increasing.
"Your Excellency, the enemy is attacking again. Now that the mage regiment has suffered heavy losses, it is powerless to prevent the enemy from releasing the forbidden spell, and the city wall is afraid to ......"
Before the young officer could finish speaking, Raquel interrupted, "I see. According to the established plan, after the outer city was lost, the troops were to withdraw to the inner city.
Pass the order down, and let all the Overseers go out. If anyone escapes, they will be killed! ”
As he spoke, Raquel took out a handkerchief and wiped the knight's sword. After waving his hand to signal the officer to leave, he muttered to himself:
"Old friend, it's time to fight hard again. I don't know if we'll be lucky enough to leave this time.
Alas!
If you were spiritual, you would be scolding me at this moment: let you kid do it. It's obviously a second-generation gentleman, but he wants to come out......
But there is no way, when the principality reaches the moment of life and death, someone has to go up.
In the last war, the elite of the principality almost died. Now it's my turn to be useless waste, reinforcements ......"
……
Above the clouds, Hudson watched the battle of Augsburg with cold eyes. After countless wars, he has long learned to be hard-hearted.
The reinforcements were two hundred miles away, and as long as he gave the order, they could reach the front line in one day, and it would not be a problem to keep Augsburg. It's just that in this way, it is impossible to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army.
If you want to achieve a bigger battle, you can only let the defenders continue to consume the alien coalition forces outside the city. It doesn't matter how many enemies you kill, the key is to turn the enemy into a tired soldier.
Looking at the convergence of the elements below, Hudson knew it was the enemy preparing the forbidden spell. If you interfere at this moment, you will inevitably inflict heavy losses on the enemy's mage regiment and buy more time for the defenders.
It's a pity that Hudson didn't have time, and the sudden international situation forced him to find a way to solve it quickly.
The enemy army in front of him is only one of his goals, and there are many enemies waiting for him in the future.
"The magic array of defending the city is broken, and it is destined to be unable to block the attack of the forbidden spell, and the outer city will not be able to defend it.
In a short period of time, the enemy should not be able to cast the forbidden spell again, and the inner city is estimated to be able to hold out for a few days.
Bear Stearns, you go for a trip yourself. Let the army move, and bring the two sides closer to a hundred miles before dark. ”
Hudson said slowly.
The coach himself is a scout, and there is no one left. But there is no way, if someone else comes, it will definitely be discovered by the enemy.
Including the operation of the army, in fact, it is difficult to keep it secret. The enemy also has air power, constantly monitoring the four directions.
On the way, Hudson easily dealt with many enemy spies, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Even his current hiding, it is only for the enemy forces below. If you encounter the enemy's air power at close range, it will be exposed in an instant.
Concealment magic is not a panacea, and once you get up close, you can't hide it at all.
Only when the army keeps a certain distance and does not let the enemy perceive the danger that it is approaching, can they fight with confidence and boldness.
In a sense, Hudson is gambling right now. Bet that the enemy doesn't know that the reinforcements sent by the kingdom this time are the elite of the elite.
Ordinary armies travel dozens of miles a day, but elite cavalry can easily attack for one or two hundred miles. This distance is not a distance that cavalry can run every day, but on the premise of maintaining a certain combat effectiveness.
If you don't consider combat effectiveness, you can do it by traveling thousands of miles in a day. The only problem is that it is too wasteful, and only a few high-quality war horses can do it.
There was a loud "boom", and the walls of Augustburg fell in response. The collapsed city wall is hundreds of meters long, and such a large gap can no longer be plugged if you want to.
A loud trumpet sounded, and the army, receiving the signal, swarmed towards the gap and launched the fiercest attack on the defenders.
The picture below made Hudson unbearable to look at it directly, and directly stopped observing the magic, but it was the nervous Maxim who watched it with relish.
"Maxim, find a place to rest first, and we will enter the inner city at night to help the defenders strengthen their courage to resist!"
Hudson said indifferently.
The enemy's confidence in taking Augsburg was already high, but the morale of the defenders was really worrying him. If the defenders collapse early, then it will not be possible to steal chickens and eat rice.
Compared with the performance of Moxi's army in the last orc invasion, the quality of the defenders in front of him has dropped by more than one notch.
Looking at the heads hanging from the towers, you can see that the number of deserters is not ordinary. If it weren't for the defenders' decisiveness and timely suppression, we don't know what would have happened.
His instinct told him that the fighter plane was about to appear. As long as the defenders are stable, the next step is to watch the enemy's performance.
