The Emerald Palace, after the fall of the Duchy of Cantroul, the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik asking for help soon appeared in front of Caesar IV.

"Humph!"

"It just doesn't make sense!"

"How dare you threaten to surrender, do Usda and Fick want to eat us......

In the face of Caesar IV's roar, the courtiers sat upright, lest they accidentally attract the firepower of their own king.

Smart people know that Caesar IV's gaffe is not only the two letters asking for help in front of him, but also the fact that he has been too aggrieved in recent days.

Since the outbreak of the Continental War, Caesar IV's power has been squeezed by the military.

No matter how dissatisfied it was, it was useless, and the major domestic forces, including the royal family, reached an agreement - not to let the king interfere in the military.

Under internal pressure, Caesar IV had no choice but to endure. You can comfort yourself by taking care of the overall situation for a day or two, and no one can stand it if you have been depressed for a long time!

Unconsciously, Caesar IV's temper was also growing day by day. It's just that it is well concealed in normal times, and it is rarely exposed in front of outsiders.

The letters of distress from the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik became the sparks that detonated the powder keg.

After a wave of catharsis, Caesar IV, who calmed down, gradually calmed down. No matter how angry you scold, you have to face the reality.

If they weren't forced to the wall, Usta and Fick would never have been able to do such a thing. Surrender is easy to say, but extremely difficult to operate.

The continental war is in a stalemate, and the Terran and alien alliances have their own advantages and disadvantages, and no one can judge the final victory or defeat.

In this situation, it is very fatal to be on the wrong side. In case the Terrans win a big victory, the Fall Queen will settle the accounts, and none of the guys who surrender to the alien race will not want to run away.

"Your Majesty, the Principality of Usda and the Principality of Fik wrote such letters, most likely on impulse, stimulated by the fall of the Principality of Canteru.

When they calm down, the top leaders of the two countries should make a rational choice.

The war has been going on so far, both sides are stained with each other's blood, and the unforgettable hatred has been formed, and it is not so easy to unravel.

With the elves, the status of the Usda and Fik people is destined to be not high, and they may be deliberately tossed.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and after a long time, the basis of their rule in the local area is gone.

This is still the case of establishing an interracial victory. If the Terrans were to win a great victory, they would be immediately reckoned.

The surrender of the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik has a great impact on the situation in the Northern Continent, which is the reason why everyone must be rescued.

But no matter how good the reason is, it must also take into account the actual situation. With the exception of a few neighboring countries, even if other countries wanted to send reinforcements, it would take a long time to do so.

Taking the kingdom as an example, according to the normal situation, the reinforcements were formed, the strategic materials for the expedition were prepared, and the time for the march was added, and it would take two months to arrive at the earliest.

With the situation of the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik, it is not said that it has been two months to resist the elven army, and if it can hold on for another month, it is the Lord of Dawn.

Maybe they don't really want reinforcements, but they want to use the last bargaining chip in their hands in exchange for a commitment from all sides."

Count Francis analyzed rationally.

The destruction of the foundation of surrender is equivalent to chronic suicide; Resisting nine deaths may not be able to keep the basic plate.

Not to mention the extreme situation of the high-level annihilation of the Principality of Canteroux, even if all the high-level leaders of the two countries withdraw safely, the restoration of the country has become a dream.

If the Terrans win a big victory, the lost land will definitely be recovered, but it is difficult to say whether the owner of the land is not them.

The major forces of the Terran race are not charitable. Sending troops to recover the lost territory, in addition to the righteousness of the human race, also has to divide the corresponding interests.

The borderless land is not divided enough, so it can only be pinched by soft persimmons, and forcibly divide the interests from it to appease the heroes.

The collapsed Duchy of Cantrolu, as well as the Principality of Usda and Fik, which are about to end, all belong to soft persimmons

。

If you don't take advantage of the time you can talk about it now, you will not only not be able to keep your aristocratic status after the war, but you may lose your life.

As long as they fulfill their obligations, everyone will naturally not touch them on the surface, but secretly it is difficult to say.

The infighting of the aristocratic group is also very intense. has no strength in his hands, and he blocks the way of others, and the end can be imagined.

"If it's about terms, it's up to them what they want. The kingdom can guarantee that it will not seek the interests of either of them.

But the Aslant Continent is not our sole decision, and what other big forces think is not something we can control.

Judging from the current situation, the national power of the kingdom after the war will inevitably be weakened. The right to speak in the Northern Continent will most likely be reduced.

If they want us to come forward and give a definite guarantee, I'm afraid it's too much."

The Prime Minister of Newfoundland said unhappily.

The Alpha Kingdom has enough troubles of its own, and it is not bad to be able to protect its own interests after the war, where can it take care of others.

The threat of the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik undoubtedly pierced this layer of window paper, allowing everyone to face the reality of the imminent decline of the kingdom in advance.

Anger is anger, but the Archduke of Newfoundland does not panic. As long as a large country does not decay internally, even if it declines in a short period of time due to external forces, it will quickly recover.

"Judging from the current strategic situation, the Duchy of Usda and the Duchy of Fik are still valuable, and we need them to buy Marshal Hudson time.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may wish to contact them, and as long as the two countries can resist to the end, we can pledge to support their recovery.

The strength of support is tied to the strength of their resistance, and as long as they can hold off the elven army for another two months, the kingdom will do everything in its power to support them."

The Grand Duke of Ephiero painted the pie without changing his face.

For a country with a territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, resisting foreign invasion for two hours does not seem to have any difficulty.

But this is theoretically, the elves are rushing for time, and they don't need to occupy every inch of land. As long as they take the main strategic points, the army can continue to march.

If you want to hold back the elven army, you can only block the path that people must pass through, and hold on to the fortress city.

"Your Excellency, don't say it's two months. It is a miracle that the principalities of Usda and Fik can hold out for another month.

Because of their close proximity to the elves, their military strength has always been suppressed, and the standing army in peacetime is less than 30,000.

The number of strong people is even more pitiful, and almost no Tianjiao is born. Occasionally, a few geniuses are born, and accidents can happen quickly.

For the safety of the younger generations, the great nobles of the two countries usually send their outstanding descendants abroad for training, and they will only return when their strength reaches a certain level.

Faced with the current complicated situation, it is too late for them to transfer their children, let alone recall the children who have gone out."

Count Francis shook his head and said.

Painting cakes also requires skill, if you can determine at a glance, this piece of cake can not be seen and eaten, and it cannot fool people.

Not to mention "support" and "guarantee", these are completely different concepts between the two countries.

Support for their return to the country can be supported by concrete actions or by words. The difference between the guarantee that they will be able to return to the country is too far.

When it comes to national reputation, this kind of public promise, basically as long as it is done, must be kept.

"That's it!

No matter what choice the Principality of Usda and the Principality of Fik make, our bottom line is here, and it is okay to support their post-war recovery, but it is guaranteed that it will not be given.

It is impossible to give such a guarantee to the countries of the mainland. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made an effort to make them realize the reality as soon as possible.

The War Department conveyed the matter to Field Marshal Hudson, telling him to hurry up and defeat the coalition of the Ancient Relics as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for the kingdom."

Caesar IV said with a wave of his hand.

Frankly, he did not want to interfere with the command at the front. The situation is becoming more and more complicated, early

It overwhelmed him.

Regardless of his personal views on Hudson, Hudson is the hope of the kingdom right now. The fate of the kingdom depends entirely on the situation on the front line.

In front of the ancestral foundation, there is no room for the slightest willfulness. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have deliberately drawn closer to Hudson before the expeditionary force set off.

Although it is superficial, something is better than nothing. At least a signal was sent to the outside world that the relationship between the king and the marshal was close.

……

"Marshal, we have contacted the resistance forces in the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom, and according to the information they have provided, the enemy is gathering in the province of Deklaas.

According to preliminary estimates, no less than 200,000 enemy troops were gathered. More detailed information is still under investigation."

After listening to Tom's report, Hudson was shocked and found the location of the province of Deklas directly on the map.

After a brief pause in his gaze, Hudson was speechless. The enemy was so frightened that he chose to assemble in a mountainous province hundreds of miles away.

The cavalry is strong in combat, but the cavalry combat is also very terrain-oriented. Cavalry fighting in plain areas was certainly simpler than fighting in the mountains.

The enemy is fully prepared, and it is almost impossible to carry out another big surprise attack and inflict heavy damage on the enemy army.

Hudson's greatest concern was that the enemy would not come out to fight him, but would huddle in the city and spend time with him.

"Marshal, the enemy has been frightened by you, and I am afraid that he will not easily fight us in the future.

Time is on the enemy's side, they just need to wait for the elven army to come over, and the two sides will be in the Oudulum of Orton.

Even the army of the Ancient Relic Alliance in the Principality of Orton may suddenly turn around and go to attack the Principality of Usda and the Principality of Fik with the elven army first.

If the enemy makes up his mind to delay time and defend the city directly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to achieve results in the future."

José analyzed with a frown.

In the current situation, the pressure on the expeditionary force is simply too great. Not only to use a limited force to severely damage the Ancient Relic Alliance, but also to race against time.

"If the enemy does not come out, then mobilize them to come out. Pass the order down, let the army pack their bags, and start early tomorrow morning!

They can give up a large area of land in the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom for the time being, but do they dare to give up the back road of the coalition retreat?

Interspersed behind enemy lines, I see how long they can shrink in the province of Deklaas. If they don't get it, then make it all the way from the Great Plains of Warhammer to the Duchy of Orton.

Anyway, it's all enemies, so it's the same to clean up their main forces over there first! Just after the battle, you can also see the elven army."

Hudson pretended to be calm.

It's easy to say, but deep down he and Jose have come to the same conclusion, this war is difficult to fight!

The enemy did not dare to engage him until the main forces were assembled. If the other party really completes the assembly, Hudson will not dare to go over and look for death.

No matter how elite the troops under his command were, it was impossible for them to storm the prepared camp of hundreds of thousands of troops.

The best fighter is always in motion. The high mobility of the cavalry is inherently designed to fight sports warfare.

Deep down, Hudson had prepared for the worst. No matter how the situation develops, the first thing he needs to ensure is that the army under his command will not suffer a major defeat.

In order to grab time, rush to the battlefield to gamble on luck, that is not his style.

Anyway, he has done his best, worthy of the title of marshal. The situation is erosive, and this is not something he can control alone.

If you can't block the elven army from the country, it's a big deal to go back to fight the local defense war, which is nothing more than the border provinces of the kingdom suffering.

Even if an orc empire is added, the war will not burn the southeast coast for a while and a half, and the safety of the lair is still relatively guaranteed.

As long as the elves do not have a single tendon on the kingdom, and the kingdom will hold on until the end of the continental war, Hudson is still sure.

……

The kingdom of Farrant wheel, in the midst of a series of experiences

After a bitter battle, they had to shrink their main forces back to Newport for a final resistance.

"What, the kingdom of light has fallen?"

Philip I exclaimed.

The Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe are the most powerful in the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of the Alien Wheel, and in the face of the invasion of the orc army, they have also held out for the longest time.

Watching one ally after another fall, the two countries are still making their last insistence. I didn't expect to wake up and the last ally was gone.

It's not a good feeling to be alone, or to be alone without reinforcements.

"Yes, Your Majesty!

The Kingdom of Light broke through last night, and it is unknown how many people ran out, anyway, their kings have fallen.

Across the savannah, only the kingdom is now left to put up its last resistance. If nothing else, the orcs will surely intensify their offensive against Newport next."

Prime Minister Drae replied bitterly.

No one likes a war that knows that it cannot be won, but still wants to continue fighting.

Compared to the unlucky allies, the situation of the Kingdom of Phalantha is much better. The royal capital is in the port, and you can run away at any time.

The main reason for the fierce resistance now is that everyone is making political capital. The most important thing is: run away in advance, the Alpha Kingdom refuses to let them go.

Life safety is guaranteed, so let's fight slowly! Anyway, you can't do anything, you can still board the ship and leave, no matter how powerful the orcs are, they don't have the ability to chase them to the sea.
