Chapter 108, the conspiracy is coming
With the passage of time, the influence of the victory of Augustburg continued to spread to the continent of Aslant.
Many people's first reaction to receiving the message is:
"Impossible!"
"It can't be!"
It was originally magical to defeat 300,000 enemy troops overnight, and with the subsequent achievements, the victory at Augustburg killed and captured more than 200,000 enemy troops, which is really unbelievable.
It's like the ancient remnants coalition is a weak chicken, and it can be slapped to death casually.
However, in the previous battle, the alliance of the ancient relics slaughtered all sides, and the strength is obvious to everyone.
Especially the generals of the major forces are busy at the moment. The mainland has added another classic case, which must be studied in depth to prevent a similar tragedy from happening to the mainland.
Most of the Terran forces are fine, and the situation in the Northern Continent has improved, which is also a good thing for everyone.
But there are accidents in everything, and Pius VII is very unhappy right now. Without the confidence to go to the Sea of Mists to find the bad luck of the ghost ship, the account of the destruction of the Holy See fleet naturally fell on the head of the Alpha Kingdom.
originally thought that in the face of the threat of the three major alien races, this thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh would soon be hit hard, and even disappear in the long river of history.
Pius VII thought he was a generous person, and he would not care about past grievances with the dead, so he simply ignored the Alpha Kingdom.
As soon as the news of the victory at Augustburg came out, the situation changed in an instant. The Alliance of the Ancient Relic Clan lives in a world of ice and snow where resources are scarce, which dooms them to a limited number of people.
The losses of the 200,000-strong army at one time exceeded the total population of some races. Counting the losses in the previous series of battles, the Ancient Relic Alliance has lost at least 300,000 troops since the outbreak of the war.
This number, resting on any big force, will feel painful.
Two or three more times, or even again, the Ancient Relic Alliance could not afford the casualties and would be forced to abandon its strategic plan to invade the Duchy of Moxi.
The essence of their war is to seize the living space for their clansmen, and if the clansmen are gone, what is the use of holding the land.
"Rubbish!"
"It's all a bunch of waste, and anyone can sneak attack every city you attack, no wonder you can only survive in that corner of the ice and snow world!
The Ancient Relic Alliance, I think it might as well be renamed: Ancient Waste Alliance. They have been passed down to the present day, and they are polluting the eyes.
The elves are also a bunch of fools, and they don't even know what their allies are, so it's no wonder that they can only cower in a corner.
And those ignorant orcs, who know all day long that they are entangled with the countries of the steppe, and forget who their real enemies are.
I don't know how they were passed down from antiquity......"
The roar of the Seventh Emperor of the Asylus greeted the three major alien races of the Northern Continent all over again, and he couldn't even care about the image.
"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it's not these alien wastes, but they didn't expect Hudson to be so powerful.
If you don't make a move, this shot is to break the backbone of the Ancient Relic Alliance.
The multiracial alliance is already unstable internally, and its ability to withstand losses is far lower than that of a normal power.
If the elves can't quickly destroy the three principalities and provide them with more support, the Ancient Relic Alliance is likely to become the first alien race to be eliminated in the continental war! ”
Blake said with a sigh of relief.
As the head of the Knights of Trial, it is not all based on personal connections, but there are still some military qualities, and I can see at a glance the flaws in the army of the Ancient Relic Alliance.
Recalling the series of losses he suffered in the process of dealing with Hudson, he still can't let go.
Seeing Hudson's opponent slaughtering all sides, he felt both uncomfortable and relieved.
The words are full of leaks, it's really not that he's Lord Blake's garbage, but that the enemy is too powerful.
Compared with the alien race who suffered heavy losses, he clashed with Hudson on the prairie battlefield back then, and only lost part of his right to speak, which is already very good.
has been a man with his tail between his legs for several years, and now with an alien foil, Blake naturally wants to clear his name.
"Hudson, indeed, is a threat. It's just that this person is guarded by dragons and earth bears, and it will be difficult to get rid of him.
Seeing the reaction of the alien race, Hudson is so aggressive, the elves should take action. In the eyes of those arrogant elves, there should be no such character in the Northern Continent.
In recent years, our influence in the Northern Continent has almost been swept away. If you want to meddle in the affairs over there, you can't do it.
However, the necessary preparations still need to be made.
If the Alpha Kingdom is destroyed in the Continental War, then everything will be stopped; If they're still strong, we can't let them go.
It is far easier to crush a kingdom from the inside than to attack it head-on. The lord is weak and the minister is strong, which is the way to take trouble.
Since Hudson is so top-notch, let's help him promote it again.
The first god of war in the mainland, the strongest in the mainland, and the first ...... in the mainland
Look at the weaving, and give me all the hats you can put on his head.
Remember, this time only to promote his merits, and to do it imperceptibly, so that the outside world can't find out that we are behind the scenes. ”
Pius VII said with a sneer.
They are all bosses, and he is very aware of the complex psychology of the superiors. Usually, they want their subordinates to be capable, but they are afraid that their subordinates are too capable.
Rabbits and dogs can't be cooked, but it will definitely happen when the birds are exhausted. The more propaganda is made, the more fierce the backlash will be in the future.
Once the two sides clash, no matter who wins or loses, it will weaken the power of the Alpha Kingdom.
It would be even more perfect if a civil war broke out directly like the Warhammer Kingdom, and the country was forced to split into two.
In order to achieve his goal, Pius VII was not even ready to ask for the title of "the strongest man in the continent".
Fame is tiring.
The name of the strongest person in the mainland can not only bring fame, but also trouble.
For example: when a big devil emerges that cannot be dealt with, it will be the turn of the first strongest.
The status is there, and many times you can't shirk it.
If it is really strong and overpowering the continent, then it will be enough. But the heart of the Seventh Emperor is weak, and the water of he, the strongest person in the continent, is too great.
Missing two inheritance artifacts, he is a blood-thick meat shield, and his real combat power is far inferior to that of several dragon knights.
It would be embarrassing if a strong man appeared one day and wanted to challenge him, the number one powerhouse in the pseudo-continent.
"Your Majesty, wise!
It didn't cost a single soldier, just a little false name, and it laid the hidden danger of infighting for the Alpha Kingdom, which is really ......"
Listening to the praise of his subordinates, the corners of Pius VII's mouth couldn't help but smile slightly. When it comes to playing with people's hearts, he is a professional.
……
Augsburg, the bloody picture has been washed away. Only the crumbling walls and the scars everywhere tell the cruelty of the great war.
The defenders who survived the catastrophe became fierce after experiencing the test of life and death. Wherever you go, the temperature will drop.
After the expansion of the battle, the expeditionary force was withdrawn by Hudson to recuperate.
A good hunter is never short of patience. They will only shoot a crucial arrow at a critical moment.
"Marshal, it's not good!"
"Last night, the elves attacked the capital of the Duchy of Cantrulu, and all the high-ranking officials of the principality, including the king, were unfortunately killed.
The Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik have issued a strong warning that if there are no further reinforcements, they will surrender to the Elves! ”
Raquel said in a panic.
The current situation is very obvious, the fall of the Duchy of Cantrum has frightened the upper echelons of the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik.
At the moment of life and death, the high-level leaders of the two countries, who could not see any hope, did not hesitate to threaten surrender.
Once the barriers of the three principalities disappear, the elven army can meet with the ancient remnants at any time. The two alien races join forces, and no one can stand it!
Hearing this, Hudson also hesitated. It was not easy to gain a little strategic initiative from the battlefield, and then you want to give it up like this?
Vaguely, he found out that it was his own pot. The war has been going on until now, and the mass acceptance of prisoners took place only in the Battle of August.
The Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik dared to threaten to surrender, and it was obvious that the elves had sent them a signal to surrender and made certain promises.
If the other party doesn't keep prisoners, then they will surrender to a ghost, and they will definitely have to fight to the death!
"Rakir, immediately send someone to inform the royal capital, and ask them to strengthen the intelligence collection of the elven army, especially to determine whether they are carrying out large-scale racial slaughter now!"
Leave a line in everything, and see you in the future. If the elven clan really changes the way they play in the continental hegemony, the countries of the northern continent will not even have room for struggle.
Die to the end, that is forced to be helpless, but as long as there is a glimmer of life, how many people are willing to die?
Perhaps some nobles may choose to fight to the end for the sake of glory. But more people will still retreat in the face of life and death.
Hudson's gut told him that the odds of this happening were very high.
The elven race is not a race that likes to kill, if they are really allowed to slaughter all the way, I am afraid that the mentality of many elves will collapse.
Knowing this, Hudson was not prepared to remain silent. If there are no fighters, then create them yourself.
The alliance of the ancient relics is converging, and if you take the initiative to attack and kill the armies of several tribes, it is still very possible.
"Cross the Warhammer Kingdom and go directly to the lair of the races in the Ice and Snow World, forcing them to come to their aid."
As soon as this idea was born, Hudson dispelled it. Now in this season's ice and snow world, snow has begun to fall in many areas.
Cultivators are indeed more resistant to frost, but they lack logistical supplies and directly break into other people's nests, which is also risky.
There is no precedent for this kind of in the continent of Aslanth, but there are so many negative teaching materials in the past life, and Hudson knows how terrifying the power of winter is.
"Marshal, there is no need to specifically investigate. The elven army did not massacre, they would only kill all the young and strong, and then expel the old and weak women and children in the area under their control.
A large part of the refugees who poured into the Principality were driven by them.
For this matter, the principality also held a special meeting to analyze it, and finally came to the conclusion: this is to weaken our war potential.
In the case of the Principality, for example, at least 1,000 tons of food and supplies are required every day to meet the basic needs of refugees within its borders.
This is also because a large number of refugees have died on the road, otherwise the consumption will be even greater.
The huge consumption of materials is simply not affordable for the principality. The question of whether to rescue refugees has been debated at the top level.
It wasn't until you stepped in and promised to open restrictions on accepting refugees that the situation improved slightly.
Now that the Principality of Cantruo has fallen, the number of refugees will skyrocket in the future, and it will be difficult to do so. ”
Luckle's explanation pulled Hudson back to reality, and then he gasped.
The elven army's approach seems to be better than massacre, but in fact, the hidden purpose is even more vicious.
Not to mention the deaths on the road, it was a refugee team composed of the elderly, weak, women and children, which was a proper burden during the war years when supplies were scarce.
Receiving refugees consumes a lot of supplies; If left unchecked, it will harm the local area. Once a person's stomach is extremely hungry, any moral bottom line will no longer exist.
At this moment, Hudson understood why when he asked for a refugee, the Moses would say yes.
During the war years, the least valuable thing was human life. Fortunately, the definition of "old" in the Aslant continent is different, otherwise there would be no male in the refugee ranks.
Sick of the population, Hudson didn't know what to do next. Perhaps the "European-style romance" in the previous life was caused by the sequelae of the war.
"If that's the case, there's no need to waste time. Raquel, immediately arrange for someone to prepare dry food and forage.
Dry food is mainly jerky and cheese, and each person prepares half a pound of salt and, if possible, some sugar.
Forage must be a good concentrate......"
Hudson immediately ordered.
Since it was a long-distance attack, the expeditionary force naturally did not carry much material. Now that he has arrived in the Duchy of Moxi, the logistical supply naturally depends on the Moxi people.
Elite troops must have elite treatment. In the continent of Aslanth, where productivity is lagging behind, logistical replenishment is also monotonous.
In particular, "sugar" has become a luxury.
Due to the backward production process, the production of sugar in the continent of Aslant was extremely limited, and the price was more expensive than gold, and it was usually the exclusive supply of the aristocracy.
It was Hudson who first proposed to let sugar enter the army and serve as a strategic material.
The sugar production of the Kingdom of Echo is too low, and the annual output of 3,000 pounds in the Mountain Territory accounts for one-tenth of that of the Alpha Kingdom.
It's not that Hudson doesn't work hard, it's that the sugar production process is not up to par. Where is the total output, even if it is taken from the mouths of the nobles, it is not enough for the soldiers.
"Marshal, it's easy to talk about other supplies. Even if it's a patchwork, you can make it, but the sugar ......
If you report to the royal capital, you may be able to make up a hundred and eighty pounds. It's really ...... in the front-line army"
