Chapter 113: The Changes Brought About by War

"Ah, it's a giant!"

"Taylor, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and hide in the hole!"

Taylor, who was a step slower to react, was directly dragged into the cave by the old man, and the disguised stone door was immediately closed.

"Bastard boy, how many times have I told you, why don't you listen to persuasion when you see the alien army trying to dodge!

If you get your tracks exposed, do you want to kill everyone? ”

Although the cave was equipped with soundproofing magic, no matter how loud the sound was, the old man kept his voice down when he reprimanded.

It was with this caution that they were able to survive in the land that the ancient remnants coalition army havoc havoc on.

After the collapse of the East-West Warhammer Kingdom, a large number of nobles and refugees fled frantically, but there were also some people who chose to stay for various reasons.

A similar group of survivors is the origin of the resistance forces in the Warhammer Kingdom. It's not that they want to keep resisting, it's that reality forces them to resist.

When encountering a small group of enemy troops, they will easily kill them and loot the survival materials.

No one knows how long this underground life will last, where every piece of material is crucial.

"Third uncle, the enemy shouldn't be able to take care of us now. Just now I saw the giant running frantically, as if he was being hunted down. ”

Taylor hurriedly explained.

Being scolded is small, but he doesn't dare to bear the charge of killing everyone.

"Giants on the run?

What are you kidding, now the entire Warhammer Kingdom is the territory of an alien race, even if there is still an army left behind, it is still cautious, who dares to hunt down a group of giants?

I think you're probably scared before you appear ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man suddenly stopped.

"Look at this movement, it should be a large army in action. The footsteps were too scattered and compact, not like marching, but more like running for their lives.

Something doesn't seem right!

Difficulty: There is infighting in the Ancient Relic Alliance, and they are killing each other at the moment?

No way, the enemy shouldn't be so stupid. At least they won't be able to do anything until they defeat us.

You stay inside, I'll find a chance to go out and have a look. In recent days, the situation outside has changed again. ”

In the face of adversity, the main reason why everyone was able to persevere was that everyone believed that the Terran army would fight back.

The Terran race has been the overlord of the continent for so many years, and it has also cultivated its own arrogance.

If you encounter orcs, elves, and other powerful alien races, you may be nervous.

But the Ancient Relic Alliance, these declining races that have been suppressed by the Warhammer Kingdom for countless years, they still have confidence.

"Third uncle, if you don't wait for it to go out after dark, it will rain heavily outside, and it will be easy to leave footprints."

Taylor persuaded.

The old man is the backbone of everyone, and if an accident happens when they go out, it will be difficult for their small group to continue.

"Don't worry, I'm a fifth-order thief, as long as I'm careful, I'll be fine."

After speaking, the old man patted Taylor on the shoulder, turned around and went to the vent left in advance to observe the outside situation, and after making sure that there was no danger nearby, he cautiously stepped out of the cave.

After performing stealth skills all the way and choosing a hidden bush to shelter in, the old man quickly looked around.

The scene in front of him surprised him. It was not only the giants who were frantically fleeing for their lives, but there were no less than twenty races passing by in front of him in an instant.

The thousands of defeated soldiers are clearly a sign of defeat.

"The Terran army has come back?"

It seems that it is a bit fast, and with the situation on the northern continent, the countries should not have time to send troops to recover the homeland of the Warhammer Kingdom now.

Looking at the scene in front of him hesitantly, the old man hid himself more and more tightly, lest he expose his deeds and cause death.

For several hours, there were routs constantly passing in front of him, and the old man's scalp was numb.

This is a rout of tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is impossible for the remaining resistance forces to be defeated, and there must be a large army of Terrans nearby.

Resisting his curiosity, the old man continued to lurk in the bushes until a flag rising in the sky caught his attention.

"Dragons and Earth Bears, this is the Dragon-Bear Battle Banner. Marshal Hudson is here, is the era of the great counteroffensive coming in advance! ”

The old man said excitedly.

He had been waiting for this day for months.

In the dead of night, he couldn't help but wonder if his choice was wrong, and that it was best to bring his people to join the refugee team.

Just thinking of the old and young in the clan, he couldn't be ruthless after all.

In fact, if there was no family scroll to drag him down, as a fifth-order thief, he could leave at any time.

The Alliance of the Ancient Relic Clans only seized the city, and its actual control over the place was still very small.

The immigrants of all ethnic groups have not yet arrived, and they can leave the land as long as they avoid the enemy's army.

Seeing that a Warcraft cavalry was coming, in order to avoid misunderstanding, the old man hurriedly identified himself and said, "Don't do it, it's your own people!" ”

After a brief exchange, there was another identity check, and finally the team guide +1.

A similar scene has happened many times along the way, and the officers below can handle it themselves, and there is no need for Hudson, the manager, to worry about it.

The higher the quality of the army, the better it is to bring, and the Warcraft Legion is undoubtedly the pinnacle of this era.

Those who can become Warcraft cavalry are all children of nobles, and the lowest strength is also a knight.

The superiority of high quality can be most manifested in local operations.

Taking this pursuit of the enemy army as an example, everyone completed the task assigned by Hudson very well.

The enemy troops, who should have fled in all directions after the rout, are now running towards the north. It's not that they want to run this way, but they are forced to flee north.

Only the rout of the army in groups is worth rescuing. If the enemy scatters and flees, they don't know where to start if they want to rescue them.

In order to lure the enemy, the enemy reconnoitred from the air, and Hudson was generous enough to let them play.

The bait has been put down, and if you want to rescue, you should hurry up and send troops, but if you come, you will wait for the whole team to be wiped out.

If the current situation continues, in three days at most, the fleeing enemy will collide with 30,000 cavalry.

The muddy roads are indeed not suitable for cavalry, but without these disadvantages, the enemy will not take the bait!

"Marshal, news has come from the griffon dragoons, the enemy has amplified the army!"

Hearing this, Hudson smiled slightly, and immediately ordered:

"Pass the order, the whole army will camp on the spot and rest, and pursue the enemy army tomorrow!"

Regardless of how the enemy came and how many reinforcements were sent, as long as they left the province of Deklaas, the strategy of luring the enemy was successful.

Cavalry, what they are best at is fighting sports warfare. If you are not afraid of the enemy's menacing, you are afraid that the enemy army will not move a turtle shell.

……

"Your Majesty, good news from the front.

Yesterday, the Expeditionary Force commanded the Warcraft Legion and defeated the 50,000 troops of the Ancient Relic Alliance in the Krot region of the Warhammer Kingdom.

At present, the expeditionary force is encircling and suppressing the rout, and the specific achievements are still being counted. ”

Earl Martins reported happily.

Compared with the previous record of defeating 300,000 enemy troops, this big victory seems to be nothing, but looking at the entire Northern Continent battlefield, this is also a first-class record.

Since the beginning of the war, the countries of the Northern Continent have not won victories, but behind each victory they have paid heavy losses.

Only the two great victories of the expeditionary force caused very little losses on their side, as if they were not facing the same enemy.

These are all minor problems, anyway, the Alpha Kingdom has always been the number one power in the Northern Continent, and the commander Hudson is also the number one general in the Northern Continent, so everyone will get used to it if they sigh.

Now that everyone is an ally, no matter who wins the battle, it is good news for the Principality of Moxi.

The only pity is that the principality army did not participate and missed an opportunity to rub off on the record.

It's not that they are greedy for military merit, everyone in the hall is the pillar of the Duchy of Moxi, and there is no lack of military merit.

The key is international status.

The powerful countries are all fought, taking the Alpha Kingdom as an example, even if they suffered heavy losses in the war, no one dared to treat them as soft persimmons.

This has just appeared, and the good news on the battlefield has once again pushed the prestige of the Alpha Kingdom to the peak.

The stepping stone is not only the Ancient Relic Alliance, but also the countries of the Northern Continent.

The ethereal prestige seems to be just a false name, but in fact it is the basis for the re-division of interests after the war.

The plan of the Principality of Moxi is very simple, if you can't win the enemy alone, then follow the Alpha Kingdom to fight the record.

They don't have a chance with the first power in the Northern Continent, but the name of the second power is also good.

Brush up on the sense of presence more, and when you re-divide the interests after the war, you can bite a piece of meat from the homeland of the Warhammer Kingdom, and it is completely operable.

People must have ideals. Even in adversity, it cannot affect their dream of becoming a great power.

"Let Raquel lead eighteen legions, enter the Warhammer Kingdom, and fight under the orders of Field Marshal Hudson."

George ordered without changing his face.

Although Hudson's follow-up battle plan is unknown, there must be preparations.

In the unlikely event that the battle on the front line goes well and the Ancients coalition is defeated in one fell swoop, the Duchy army must be present in the battle to reclaim the Warhammer Kingdom.

It's not okay not to go out and grab the land, this time to buy Caesar IV and Hudson, he has made a bloody investment.

The refugees are just the deposit paid in advance, and the subsequent balance has not been specifically discussed!

If it's just the population, it's no problem to buy a noble lord like Hudson, whose territory is seriously short of people.

Caesar IV, who had a great family, was not so shallow-eyed. If there is a shortage of labor, it is not difficult to solve it with the network of connections that the royal family has.

When interests are involved, relatives also have to settle accounts. The benefits + favors promised earlier were limited to sending troops to reinforce the Duchy of Moxi.

If the Duchy of Moxi wants the cooperation of the Alpha Kingdom and seeks greater benefits after the end of the war, it must also add money.

If you want to expand in the continent of Aslant, the biggest problem is the legal system. This interracial rampant is actually clearing the legal obstacles to expansion.

The fallen kingdom of Warhammer can also be seen as a borderland, in a sense.

It's not realistic to swallow them all, but in the name of supporting the allies' recovery, it's still possible to collect a lot of money from them.

The geopolitical impact is the greatest. Among the members of the Warhammer royal family who narrowly escaped, whoever bids higher and who has no bottom line is the future king of the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms.

If it is a little ugly, it is feasible to get four or five heirs to come out and further divide the Warhammer Kingdom.

Of course, these plans were based on the fact that the Terrans would win a great victory, and if the continental war was lost, everything would be stopped.

At this moment, this thought was born mainly because of the victory of the expeditionary force, which gave George confidence.

"Your Majesty, the elven army is attacking very quickly.

Following the fall of the Duchy of Cantroul, the royal capital of the Duchy of Usda has just fallen, and it has now withdrawn to the mountains to resist.

The situation in the Duchy of Fik is also very dangerous, and it is only a matter of time before it falls. The three principalities have fallen, and we will immediately face the elven army.

At this moment, a large number of troops are transferred into the Warhammer Kingdom, I am afraid that it will affect the next battle. It is better to ask Marshal Hudson's opinion first. ”

Count Martins said tactfully.

The tension of the battle is one thing, the key is that the elite of the Duchy of Moxi are all invested in the battlefield of Orton.

Without the support of Moxi's reinforcements, the Duchy of Orton would have collapsed long ago, and it would have been impossible to support it until now.

The troops that remain in the country are either newly mobilized recruits or ripped allies from the ranks of refugees.

These legions have only completed basic military training, and they can barely make do with defending the city, and they are sent to the front line to fight purely to make up the numbers.

As the Minister of War, Count Martins could not directly say that his army was a waste, and could only euphemistically oppose the sending of troops to Warhammer Kingdom.

After a moment's hesitation, George nodded. Politically, it is necessary to send troops to the Warhammer Kingdom, but military factors cannot be ignored.

In the past, the purpose of sending troops was to fight with the wind and brush up on the sense of presence in the process of recovering lost territory, but it was not to give the enemy a head.

In case you accidentally lose a battle on the front line because of your own lack of strength, it will be a blood loss.

……

The elven army camp, singing along the way, did not make the three elf queens happy, but gave birth to countless sorrows.

"Eldest sister, those guys from the Ancient Relic Clan are really wasteful, and they actually lost the battle again.

If it weren't for the fact that several Terran countries in the Northern Continent had their own ideas and hadn't sent troops at the first time, I'm afraid they would have been defeated by others a long time ago! ”

The steppe elf queen couldn't help but complain.

The first time I suffered a loss, it can be said that I encountered a sneak attack by the enemy; In the second defeat, the enemy attacked the camp head-on in broad daylight.

There is no excuse to find, that is, the ancient relics coalition is too wasteful, and can only bully the soft persimmons, and when they meet the elite of the human race, their true form will be revealed.

"Second sister, this Terran army sent by the Alpha Kingdom is not an ordinary army.

According to the news from the Ancient Relic Alliance, the five thousand enemy troops who launched the attack were all Warcraft cavalry.

In recent years, all countries in the human race have been vigorously developing the Warcraft Legion, and this force should be the result of the Alpha Kingdom.

We have seen the combat effectiveness that the 5,000 Warcraft cavalry attacked the camp of the 50,000-strong army of the Ancient Relic Clan Alliance, and quickly achieved an overwhelming victory.

Judging from the information we have before, the combat effectiveness of the Ancient Relic Alliance is actually not bad, mainly because there are certain problems in internal command.

As the defensive side, it is no accident that the command requirements have been greatly reduced, and it has suffered a major defeat.

Judging from the current situation, the combat effectiveness of the Alpha Fa, the Warcraft Legion, is also one of the few elites in our clan.

This is just the power of the Alpha Kingdom, a similar big country, and there are several Terrans.

Unlike the Alpha Kingdoms, which are consumed by orcs all year round, these countries are able to devote more resources to the Beast Legion. The number of Warcraft cavalry in his hands must be only a lot more.

Like the Holy See, the Frankish Kingdom, the Libyan Kingdom and other top forces of the human race, there are probably tens of thousands of Warcraft cavalry.

This number, or just the beginning. With the passage of time, the few Terran powers that came later will also slowly catch up.

Even Cantru, Usta, and Fike, the three small countries that have been suppressed by us all year round, can make up thousands of Demon Beast cavalry.

If it weren't for the fact that their Warcraft Legion started too late, most of the Warcraft were still in the growth stage, and they would definitely not be so easy to wipe out by us.

In addition, the large-scale use of magic crossbows is also very bad for us.

Even the best archers will have a hard time taking advantage of a group of guys armed with magic crossbows.

The strength of the human race is expanding too fast, especially in the use of emerging equipment, it is at the forefront of the continent! ”

The Forest Elf Queen couldn't help but sigh.

There are some things that cannot be envied, the human race can vigorously develop the Warcraft Legion and magic crossbow, and the core factor is that as the overlord of the continent, he has enough resources in his hands.

Even if the races push forward with all their might, they will eventually fall behind the human race due to insufficient resource investment.

War is the easiest to change a person, originally thought that "the elves don't need so many resources", but until the war has progressed, they suddenly discovered that the elves also need resources.

The Warcraft Legion has strong combat effectiveness, but the cost of raising is also high, and the daily consumption of just one Warcraft can catch up with twenty or thirty ordinary soldiers.

Crafting a magic crossbow also requires a lot of resources. In the era of pure hand-made, high loss in the processing process is unavoidable.

"Big sister, do you mean that we also develop the Warcraft Legion and make magic crossbows in large quantities?"

The Night Elf Queen asked uncertainly.

The long-lived race has a wealth of experience, but is inevitably unresponsive when it comes to nascent affairs.

The habits formed in the past have become the biggest enemy of technological change. Even if they saw the big moves of the human race, the elven race did not follow up immediately.

"Let's discuss these issues after the war! The top priority is to speed up, we must kick off the stumbling blocks in our way and inflict heavy damage on the Duchy of Moxi before the defeat of the Ancients coalition.

If possible, it is best to wipe out the expeditionary force sent by the Alpha Kingdom on the battlefield together to clear the way for the south! ”

The forest elf queen said murderously.

Worry is mutual. The Alpha Kingdom was worried that after the elven army wiped out the countries of the Northern Continent, it also cleaned itself up.

The elven clan is not worried, after the army went south, the Alpha Kingdom suddenly sent troops to cut off the return route of its own army.

It is very simple to remove the hidden danger, which is to inflict heavy damage on the Alpha Kingdom in advance and strangle the potential threat in the cradle.

It would be even more perfect if the Northern Continent could be pocketed by the way on the premise of successfully rescuing the allies.

There is too much land to control, so abandon the wasteland and raise magical beasts. When it comes to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, the elves are perfect.

If you really build a Warcraft legion, with the talent of being close to nature, the probability of the elves being recognized by Warcraft is much higher than that of the human race.

There are not many elves who have Warcraft, and that's because these guys are all arrogant, and they are not interested in low-level Warcraft, and they only have mid-level and high-level Warcraft in their eyes.

……
