In Dapest, the high-ranking officials of the Principality of Moxie who received the battle report from the front line panicked.

No matter how high-minded a person is, he can't bear one defeat after another on the battlefield. Even though they still have emergency precautions, no one wants to activate them so early.

"The enemy's offensive is too strong, and the Augsburg line is dangerous; The Duchy of Orton is on the verge of collapse again, and a two-front battle is inevitable.

What should you do next, do you have a strategy?"

George asked with concern.

As king, he is well aware of the predicament that the Duchy of Moxi is now facing. There are two main reasons for the rapid collapse of the front.

In addition to the large number of defeated troops collected, which affected the morale of the army, there was another practical factor - the defense line was not strong enough.

The Augsburg Line was originally intended to target the enemy to the north, having been destroyed in the last orc invasion, and now the enemy forces are coming from the west, and all the lines are temporarily repaired.

Even the famous Fort Augs is only a half-finished product, and its defense is far from what it used to be.

The two unfavorable factors are superimposed, and if the front-line defenders can still block the coalition forces of the ancient relics, it will really be open.

The collapse of the defensive line was expected, but George did not expect the line to collapse so quickly. Anyway, it will last for a month or two to buy some buffer time for the principality!

It's frustrating enough that your own army is not performing as expected, but I didn't expect the performance of my allies to be even worse.

Within a dozen days of the war, the Duchy of Orton lost cities and territories one after another. At this moment, even the royal capital has become crumbling, and it may fall at any time.

There is no point in complaining, and the Duchy of Orton also suffered heavy losses in the last great war. This time, the performance is much better than the one when facing the orc invasion.

With a full score of 100 test papers, the Principality of Orton has at least increased from 10 to 20 points, which is a very astonishing increase, but the base is too low, and it is far from passing.

"Your Majesty, reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom have arrived on their way, and they are only two hundred miles away from Fort Augustus.

This time, the reinforcements were all elite, and as long as the defenders held out for a few days, the situation would improve.

With Field Marshal Hudson personally leading the team, the battle situation on the front line of Augustburg was basically worry-free.

Now we need to focus on the terrible situation we will face after the collapse of the Principality of Orton."

Count Martins said slowly.

The Ministry of Military Affairs has done its best, but the difference in strength between the two sides is really too great. Coupled with the drag of pig teammates, it is even more difficult to turn the tables.

[In view of the general environment,

"Count Martins, the current international situation is very unfavorable for us.

The elves have already sent troops. If nothing else, we will soon receive the bad news of the fall of the three principalities of Cantru, Usda, and Fik.

Stimulated by this, the aliens seem to go crazy. Not only did the Ancient Relic Alliance strengthen its offensive, but the Orc Empire also took action.

In addition to the three foreign countries that were destroyed, two more of the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe have reached the final stage, and now only the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Frantron still have a certain strength.

How long they will be able to hold out, no one can say. If it weren't for the vastness of the prairie, I'm afraid the grassland battlefield would have ended long ago.

Against this backdrop, the Alpha Kingdom is about to take care of itself, and the support it can provide to us is very limited.

On the battlefield of the Southern Continent, our human race has the upper hand, but it will take some time to determine the victory or defeat.

Moreover, even if the war is over, they will first support the battlefield in the Middle Continent.

At least in the next six months, it will be difficult for us to gain strong support from the Terran Alliance."

Count Renato said with a look of embarrassment.

In diplomatic issues, the core of the main theme is always interests.

On this basis, if a powerful diplomat is born, only one or two miracles can be achieved once or twice by operation.

If it doesn't involve core interests, the diplomacy of the Aslant continent is not as good

It is effective to get the king to come forward and take advantage of people.

Helping relatives and not helping them is the norm.

The current situation is clearly not applicable. No matter how many royal marriages there are, they must make concessions for national strategies.

If you want to change the strategic decision of a big country, the price you need to pay is by no means a small one.

In order to keep the foundation of the principality, George has already found a way to buy Caesar IV and Hudson, but it does not mean that he still has the ability to buy the countries of the Southern Continent.

It's all the cause of the collapse of the Warhammer Kingdom, and if it weren't for Joseph II's ruined son, the current situation would definitely not be so bad.

In the past, when the continental war broke out, there was nothing to do with the ancient relics. Every time a continental war broke out, they were fighting each other.

"Count Renato, the situation may not be so bad.

The Ancient Relic Clan has been suppressed by the Warhammers, and their true strength should not be as strong as everyone expected.

The defeat on the battlefield was mainly due to the fact that the strength of the principality was too badly damaged. Compared with three years ago, our strength has fallen instead of rising.

Don't forget that in recent years, the nobles have been recovering, and a copper coin is eager to be dressed as a two-half flower, and everyone knows what kind of life the serfs are doing.

The stomach can't be filled, where is the strength to fight.

The veterans painstakingly cultivated by the principality in the last great war have been starved to death in recent years, and there are at most four or five points left in ten out of ten combat effectiveness.

The situation in the Alpha Kingdom is much better, there are Hesses who jump out to pull hatred, and the nobles in their country do not dare to relax their armaments at all.

The nobles with a little bit of family background will regularly organize serfs for military training, and the combat strength of the veterans is relatively well preserved."

After listening to Prime Minister Hercheg's analysis, everyone's expressions were much better, followed by embarrassment.

finally accumulated a group of veterans, but in order to save the cost of rations, the combat effectiveness was tossed away.

They can't spray if they want to, and they themselves are "stupid people who throw watermelons in order to pick up sesame seeds."

As soon as the last war ended, the principality thought that the world was too peaceful, and directly released Nanshan.

Not only was the combat effectiveness of the serf soldiers lost, but the number of standing armies was also drastically reduced, so that after the outbreak of the continental war, they were taken by surprise.

After all, the body is not something that can be raised in a day or two. Before being drafted, they didn't have enough to eat, and after being drafted, they were limited to barely filling their stomachs.

Not every commander was as strong as Hudson and was able to secure enough meat for his soldiers. Most generals don't care about what the soldiers eat at all.

"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more. Once this crisis is over, let's learn our lessons!

The number of refugees who have recently poured into the Principality is a bit large, so we will arrange for them to be sent away first, and the relief food saved will be used as military rations."

George said expressionlessly.

Once stumbled, hatred for eternity.

An inconspicuous small detail actually affected the combat effectiveness of the public team. It's too late to regret it, but there is still a remedy.

If you can't open the source, intercept the flow. It is not easy to cut other expenses, but the expenditure on relief for refugees is expected to be reduced in a short period of time.

It's all promised good conditions, and sending people over early not only shows sincerity, but also reduces food consumption.

As for recruiting refugees to replenish the population, it is still necessary to consider it when the war is about to be won. You can't always arrange people with the front foot, and tell everyone to flee with the back foot.

……

In the middle of the night, the bloody battle for Augsburg continued. The only difference is that the atmosphere in the command is no longer so lifeless.

Of the officers in the room, few Hudson could name. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know these people, it's enough for everyone to know him anyway.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

As soon as Hudson sat down, everyone felt much more at ease. The boss is here, will the reinforcements be far away?

"Everybody relax, don't get so nervous. Outside, there is also a group of unruly ancient remnant coalition forces

, the time that belonged to them has long passed.

Now jumping out and being active is nothing more than relying on the support of the elven race, in a vain attempt to come out and take advantage of our Northern Continent when it is the weakest.

Don't let the rout affect your emotions and treat them as strong enemies. In fact, it will catch you off guard, as long as everyone stabilizes the morale of the army, the enemy outside will not be worried.

Reinforcements were already on the way, and the enemy did not give up the siege late at night, because there was not much time left for them.

Fight me up with your spirits, you are all like this, what do the officers and soldiers below think?

This is the end of today's meeting, and everyone is doing his duty, fulfilling his task, and not giving the enemy an opportunity."

Seeing Hudson's calm statement, the people who were originally panicked seemed to have been injected with tranquilizers and calmed down all of a sudden.

There is no problem, now is the era of the human race, and the ancient relics outside the city are all ruined. If it were really strong, it would not have been suppressed by the Warhammer Kingdom for hundreds of years.

The only problem is that the enemy's attack is indeed strong, much stronger than the orc cannon fodder back then, and the combat effectiveness is about to catch up with those orc elite legions.

Fortunately, the strength of the Ancient Relic Alliance is not as terrifying as the orc invasion, and the enemy commander in the battle is trying to minimize casualties as much as possible, otherwise the battle will really be impossible to fight.

"Marshal ......"

Seeing that Laquel wanted to speak and stopped, Hudson laughed and scolded:

", that's not your Raquel style. The momentum of the unstoppable gentleman back then, could it be that he was frightened by a few alien races?"

As soon as he came over, he gave orders, but it was not Hudson who grabbed power, but he really had this right.

Already in the last war, he was awarded the title of marshal by the Duchy of Moxi, and his status was higher than that of everyone present.

This time, it was also the Principality of Moxi who took the initiative to invite him to be the commander-in-chief. Come and take over the command of the army, that is also in accordance with the procedure.

Similar cases have not happened in the continent of Aslant.

Hudson was the marshal of two countries, and there were also Mengren in history who served as the marshal of all ethnic countries at the same time, commanding the allied forces of various countries to fight.

Although it was a special circumstance, the existence of a precedent still provided a legal basis for him to command the Mossi Gong *** team.

Of course, these are all theoretical. In reality, whether you can command and move people still depends on your personal prestige. If the officers on the front line don't buy it, the marshal is a false title.

"Marshal...... No...... Main...... Alas...... I've disgraced you!"

Raquel said with a slur.

In recent years, he has not been less bragging about the name of Hudson's heir. In a sense, he was able to serve as the front-line governor of this hard work, and he also made it himself.

The cowhide blew out, no big deal. As long as the results can keep up, it will be a historical story.

It's a pity that Raquel was unlucky and took over a mess. Before they could clean up, the enemy came to kill them.

"No, you're doing a good job. Looking at the entire continent, there are not many people who have the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

Don't look at the lively fight between the Central Continent and the Southern Continent, in fact, they made a lot of jokes, just to save face, and deliberately blocked the news.

The Augsburg Line did fall a little faster, but it was too many routs. Even if it was a series of defeats, it was generally able to retreat in an orderly manner."

Hudson said deliberately embellished.

He didn't know exactly how the offensive and defensive battles on the front line of Augsburg were fought.

By the time Hudson arrived on the battlefield, the front had collapsed, and only a handful of forts remained.

The so-called orderly retreat is purely a high emotional intelligence statement. The real situation is that after the outer city was lost, the defenders rushed to the inner city.

In general, he retreated in an orderly manner, because he ran fast enough and laid a large number of traps in the city in advance, and most of the troops successfully evacuated to the inner city.

"Meta

Shuai, do you think the military deployment of the city defense needs to be adjusted?"

As he spoke, Raquel pulled out a map and handed it to Hudson.

"There's nothing to adjust, and the most taboo thing at this time is to toss around, and follow the established plan."

Hudson shook his head and said.

The siege war has begun, and then the military adjustment of the city defense is purely tired.

Hudson and the generals of the Duchy of Moxie are familiar with him, but his understanding of other people's abilities is very limited.

In addition to damaging one's own reputation, there is no benefit in making a mistake, so it is better not to make adjustments.

Anyway, it's all about delaying time, as long as you can exhaust the enemy army, no matter how you fight.

……

It was late at night, and I don't know if the enemy was tired or simply not in a hurry, and the offensive gradually stalled.

It's just that wars are never one-sided. If the enemy wants to rest, he must first ask Hudson if he is willing to agree.

Raquel hid the magic crystal cannon at the bottom of the box, which was pulled out at this moment, and as soon as the enemy retreated, he began to greet him.

How many enemies are killed is secondary, the key is to be loud enough.

Originally, the atmosphere on the battlefield was tense, and in the middle of the night, there was such a loud noise, and those who could sleep were ruthless.

"Marshal, the raid team you commanded has been organized, now are you going to launch a night attack?"

Raquel asked with concern.

After being beaten for so many days, he had long wanted to fight back. Unfortunately, his teammates were not strong enough, and Raquel really didn't dare to take risks.

"It's not a night attack, it's just pulling the team out for a circle.

Pass the order down, open the city gate and let the commandos go out to attack, and once the enemy counterattacks, they will immediately retreat.

The moonlight is good tonight, and a city gate is dangling once, and the enemy cannot sleep well."

As he spoke, Hudson looked into the distance.

At a distance of only a hundred miles, the Warcraft cavalry would be able to kill it in less than an hour. The other elite cavalry was not much slower.

Counting the time, the expeditionary force had already rested for five or six hours. Toss for another two or three hours, and wait for the enemy army to be the most sleepy, which is the best time to raid.

"Marshal, what if the enemy reacts and follows into the city?"

Raquel said in fear.

Originally, the defenders were frightened birds, and if the enemy attacked the city at night, Augustburg would be lost.

"It doesn't matter, just let them in. It's okay to delay them for a few hours with your deployment in the city, right?"

Hearing Hudson's question, Raquel nodded hurriedly. A few hours is too contemptuous of people, even if you don't prepare anything, the tens of thousands of defenders in the city are not something that the enemy can kill in a few hours.

"Carry out the order, if all goes well, the enemy will be broken tonight!"

……

A loud horn sounded, and the expeditionary force immediately assembled. A dragon roar broke through the air, and Hudson fell in front of the battle.

"The officer distributes the magic potion to all the soldiers and immediately gives it to the horses under their crotch."

Hearing this order, everyone was slightly stunned. There is no shortage of magic potions that stimulate the potential of war horses in the continent of Aslanth, but everyone does not use them much.

Not to mention the high cost of the drug, the side effects are particularly large. It cannot be said that once used, all war horses will be scrapped, but the loss of forty or fifty percent is still the norm, and the life span of war horses that have recovered by luck will also be greatly reduced.

However, frightened by Hudson's majesty, the order was carried out. Although war horses are valuable, they are not worth mentioning compared to winning wars.

No one jumped out to question, and Hudson nodded in satisfaction. The military is not a place where democracy is spoken, especially in times of war, and only one voice is needed.

Now everyone is worried about the safety of the war horses, and there are doubts in their hearts, and when this war is over, everything will disappear into nothingness.

As the kingdom's most famous master of magical potions, create a stimulus with no side effects

potions, that is also very reasonable.

Now that his status is determined, Hudson can slightly expose some things without worrying about triggering the prying eyes of the outside world.

"A good opportunity to break the enemy has appeared, and all the soldiers obey my orders, abandon all baggage and heavy weapons, and immediately raid Fort August!"

As soon as the words landed, the earth trembled. The scene of thousands of horses rushing together is like a great earthquake.

The army embarked on the journey without the slightest delay, and a dragon roar broke through the air, and Hudson had disappeared in place.

……

By the time Hudson reappeared over Fort Augustus, the bloody battle had begun again.

Without any accidents, the expatriate raid team was not only bitten by the enemy, but also allowed the family to seize the opportunity and rush to the city wall in one fell swoop.

Faced with the opportunity to send it to the door, the representatives of all the clans in the camp of the Ancient Relic Coalition Army were about to lose their eyes one by one.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and order the whole army to attack!"

Remo Priest hurriedly reminded.

He was not a professional soldier, but after climbing the city wall, he still knew that he would take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: Elf goddess bless!

All sorts of horns sounded at about the same time. The representatives of all ethnic groups who woke up invariably ran to their own teams to direct the battle.

Countless soldiers of the Ancient Relic Clan poured into the city, and despite the desperate resistance of the defenders, they were unable to resist the enemy's attack.

For a while, the shouts and screams resounded through the heavens and the earth, and countless defenders and officers did not know what was happening, and they saw the enemy killed in front of them.

It's messy, the whole of Augustburg is in chaos. With the attack of the alliance of the ancient relics, the whole city was soon plunged into the smoke of beacon fire.

Except for Laquer, who vaguely guessed the truth, everyone didn't know what was going on, and could only meet the enemy in a panic.

"Marshal, this ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Hudson interrupted, "Don't worry, everything will be clear in an hour.

In the current situation, the Alpha Kingdom has no choice, and the Principality of Moxi has no choice. We can only fight quickly, and all sacrifices are for the ultimate victory!"

Do a full set, deceive others and deceive yourself first. In order to fool the enemy, Hudson had to make a real breach of the city.

As the minutes ticked by, the bloody slaughter continued, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth and mountains was heard in the distance.

"Not good, enemy attack!"

When Tanma passed the news to the alliance of the ancient relics, the representatives of each clan were commanding their own armies to fight, and when the news was transmitted to the commanders, the sound of thousands of galloping horses also came.

Only now do you realize the danger, it's too late. The main army that attacked the city was fighting at the moment, and it would not be able to withdraw for a while.

The officers and soldiers who stayed behind in the big camp had just come out to organize the defense, and the Warcraft cavalry had already pounced on them, and many of the coalition soldiers died before they could react.

The sequelae of the camps of various ethnic groups were also exposed at this moment.

……
