Chapter 127, the times are different

The non-aggression pact not only relieved the Alpha Kingdom's worries, but also untied the chains that bound the hands and feet of the elves.

The elven army, which was not worried about being copied back, sounded the horn of the southern expedition, and the countries along the way immediately ushered in the test of life and death.

Rescue letters were sent out one after another, but the result was spiritual encouragement from various countries.

It's useless to regret it, in the war before that, they also responded to the countries on the front line in this way.

With the exception of a few countries, which send symbolic reinforcements, the rest is only to provide spiritual encouragement to neighboring countries.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's their turn to enjoy spiritual support Dafa, and everyone can't stand it all of a sudden!

The Terran Alliance Council held round after round of meetings, and the issue of reinforcements was still not discussed.

The reasons given by each country are more adequate than the other.

Holy See: We are helping the Kingdom of Ruthenia defend itself against the dwarven invasion, and we expect to turn the tide on the battlefield within the year, and we will definitely send reinforcements in the coming year.

Frankish Kingdom: We are clearing the orc tribe, it will take about half a year to a year, you hold on first.

Kingdom of Hesse: We are busy fighting with the Stone Clan, and we will not be able to distinguish the winner in a short time, so we will definitely send troops to support when the situation on the battlefield improves.

Southbank Kingdom: The Three-Eyed Clan is too powerful, we can only barely parry, and want to send troops to support you, but we can't help it.

Duchy of Moxi: We have suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and we are defending against the Elder Relic Alliance, hoping that the Alliance can provide support.

Alpha Kingdom: The orc invasion of the kingdom of the northern front is lost, and now we are too busy to take care of ourselves, so we ask the alliance to support a batch of strategic materials.

……

Busy busy, crying poor crying poor, selling miserable selling miserable. When it came time for specific support, none of them were willing to help.

It's not that the countries don't have a sense of the overall situation, it's really that the elven army is not easy to mess with. In particular, the prestige of the Elven Wizard Regiment is even more resounding across the continent.

It may be an exaggeration to say that forbidden spells are flying all over the sky, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is definitely unreasonable not to suffer a few forbidden spells.

Unless all countries work together, no single human nation can afford such losses.

However, in the current situation, the only one who can free up his hands is the Frankish Kingdom, and the Holy See is at most half. Because they wanted to take advantage of their teammates in the war pit, the performance of the Holy See army on the battlefield was a mess.

If the top forces of these two clans join forces, it will naturally be no problem to clean up the elf clan. But the loss that needs to be paid will definitely not be small.

For the sake of a false name, he took out his family wealth to fight with the elves, which is obviously not in line with human nature.

In the palace of Lutesia, looking at the thick letter of help in his hand, Charles III now has a great headache. Compared to other countries, the Frankish kingdom's excuse was too clumsy.

Everyone knew that their war with the orcs was coming to an end, and it was obviously unreasonable to refuse to send troops on this ground.

If the Frankish Kingdom is not the number one power in the continent and does not have such great influence in the Terran Alliance, then it will be done.

The Holy See, which also has spare strength, will not panic at all now. It already has a bad reputation on the mainland, so it doesn't hurt to add another one.

The Frankish kingdom is not good, as the leader of the Terran Alliance, they still have to be a little face, and Charles III must consider the political implications.

The most troublesome thing is that the Frankish kingdom still has an enclave in the northern continent, which happens to block the way of the elven army, and the local lord also asks for help from him.

The obligations of the vassal are reciprocal, and while the vassal is loyal to the king, the king must also protect the interests of the vassal.

It is definitely not possible to directly betray the younger brother, once this precedent is opened, the loyalty of the nobles to the king will inevitably be impacted, and the vassal system of the Frankish kingdom may be shaken.

Even if you can't keep it, at least you must make a gesture of protection and fulfill the obligations of the monarch.

In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Frankish kingdom is not weaker than the elves, and if there are no other forces, it would not hurt to start a full-scale war directly.

But now the two sides are one south and one north, which belongs to that kind of game: there is no benefit in winning, and there is no blood loss in losing.

To fulfill the obligation of the feudal king, it is necessary to send troops to reinforce it. If there are fewer troops sent, that is, the heads will be sent; There are too many troops sent over, and the kingdom cannot afford to lose.

"Now that all countries are unwilling to contribute, and there is no way to organize a coalition army, what do you think should be done?"

Charles III asked at a loss.

If I knew that it was so hot, I shouldn't have coveted that little tax and directly made the enclave of the Northern Continent independent, and now there is nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Northern Continent is now powerless.

The collapse of the Warhammer Kingdom, the fall of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, the fall of the Duchy of Orton, and the great loss of the vitality of the Duchy of Moxi, except for the strength of the Alpha Kingdom, there is no longer a strong country.

A few days ago, a wave broke out in the Alpha Kingdom, which almost crippled the Alliance of Ancient Relic Clans, and it was just a flash in the pan.

After the orcs launched the northern invasion, they had to concentrate their forces to defend the northern frontier, and they were powerless to stop the elven army from moving south.

The kingdoms of Ruilimber, Grinteborg, and Nadal are all small countries, and Korubia has long been annexed by the Hesses, and none of them are of the highest use.

The rest of the region, with the exception of two enclaves in the kingdom, were enclaves of other great nobles. Judging by the current situation, it is clear that they are ready to give up.

It's hard to support it alone, even if the kingdom is willing to spend money, it is difficult to hold those two enclaves now, so it's better to simply give up.

It just so happened that the kingdom destroyed the orc kingdom and obtained a large area of land, and directly transferred the local lords back to let them clear the orc tribe. ”

The Prime Minister, Duke Bergson, proposed.

It is indeed a bit of a bully to ask a noble lord to abandon the well-developed cooked land and run a piece of raw land instead, but the current situation is special.

The elven army is about to reach the doorstep, and if you don't run, you won't have a chance to run. It is indeed a loss economically to move the seal, but compared with a small life, it is not worth mentioning.

As long as the noble lords and kings agree to such a thing as changing fiefdoms, others will naturally have no opinions.

Even if an extra group of nobles came back to grab the cake, it would be better than dragging the kingdom down the endless abyss for a fief.

If you really fight with the elven army alone, no matter what the final victory is, the Frankish kingdom will be the loser.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. Just two enclaves are not worth the fight at all.

The elven clan took action to rescue several alien races in the middle continent, which is actually a good thing for the kingdom.

After digesting the land left behind by the orcs, the strength of the kingdom will surely go further, and the power gap between the countries will further widen.

For the kingdom, what is most needed now is not to defeat the interracial alliance, but to end the continental war as soon as possible.

As long as the Terrans are not defeated, the sooner the war ends, the better it will be for us.

It's best to end this war ahead of the cannibals in the Kingdom of Ibya, and the dwarf kings in the Holy See! ”

The Marquis of Jesús offered ambitiously.

As Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Jesús has long been dissatisfied with the current international landscape. It's just that under the mutual containment of all parties, the Frankish kingdom does not dare to break the balance.

Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity, once his plan is completed, the situation on the mainland will definitely develop in the direction of the kingdom.

The Frankish Kingdom, which annexed the Orc Kingdom, was able to shake off its competitors in one fell swoop and become the only existence on the continent.

International competition has always been slow and slow. Once the Frankish kingdom has transformed its strategic advantage into strength, it will be difficult for countries to catch up.

After a slight hesitation, Charles III nodded.

"Then do it! By the way, tell those lords that when they evacuate, they will also bring their lords with them.

To develop the land left behind by the orcs, the kingdom also needs a large population. Not only their subjects, but also the war refugees from the Northern Continent, if they have the conditions, will also be brought back.

Prime Minister, organize the kingdom's fleet to go over and pick it up. Let the navy escort everyone, and it is important to ensure the safety of the fleet.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, send someone to communicate with the elves and make it convenient for them. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, you can agree to them.

The war belonging to the kingdom is coming to an end, and the domestic trade control can also be appropriately relaxed. ”

As the first kingdom on the mainland, every move of the Frankish Kingdom will affect the direction of the situation on the mainland.

Charles III's words may seem unremarkable, but they represent a strategic shift in the Frankish kingdom.

In particular, the final liberalization of trade and trade has almost openly expressed its support for the smuggling trade.

The internal trade of the Terrans was not interrupted by the war, and the so-called trade control only prevented strategic materials from flowing into the hands of foreign races.

Capital is greedy, and wherever there is profit, it will go there. One can imagine how many strategic materials will flow into the hands of foreign races in the coming period after the Frankish kingdom relaxes its crackdown on the smuggling trade.

Even for strategic purposes, it is possible that the Frankish kingdom will secretly and directly provide material support to certain foreign races.

Similar operations have not happened in the history of mankind. It's just that it was all in peacetime, and no one was stupid enough to support the alien race during the Continental War.

Charles III dared to do this, and the core factor was that the alien race was weak, and now it could not threaten the hegemony of the human race.

It can be seen from the performance of the various races in the war that many alien races are in decline, and only the elves are not affected in strength.

However, everyone knows the shortcomings of the elves. If they don't participate in the war, they still have a transcendent status, and once they get involved in the continental war, the little money they have painstakingly accumulated will be consumed sooner or later.

It seems that it is advancing all the way, but the price behind this is tens of thousands of elf soldiers, who will fall to the ground forever.

If you lose more than 10,000 soldiers in the Northern Continent, how much will you lose when you reach the Middle Continent?

Don't look at the three kingdoms of the continent not fighting well, that is mainly because they are preserving their strength and trying to use the war to consume the strength of the vassal small countries.

Stimulated by the elven clan, the performance of the armies of the Three Kingdoms on the battlefield in recent days has instantly improved to a higher level.

Don't say that it is a loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it is a loss of fifty or sixty thousand troops, it is enough for the elf clan to suffer for a while.

If you want to dominate the continent, you must first solve the low fertility rate of the elves. Otherwise, the leading brother of this interracial alliance can only try to keep the mainland peaceful.

……

On the shores of Snow Moon Lake, countless orcs drove cattle and sheep to gather here, making final preparations for all-out war.

"The front fought well, and without paying much, the enemy's first line of defense was taken.

As has always been the case, the first pass of the Alpha is the most difficult to take. As long as this level is passed, the subsequent war will be much easier to fight. ”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said in a good mood.

Once gold has the most suitable stage, it will be able to shine in its own way.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom.

After suffering from fighting their own battles, the Orc Empire also underwent changes in military command.

Duke Daniel, who had made outstanding achievements in battle, soon stood out from the crowd of generals and became the commander of the army appointed by the five emperors.

Duke Daniel also lived up to expectations, and after taking over the Imperial Army, not only did the attack speed increase, but even the casualties of the troops also decreased.

The son behaved so well, and he was naturally happy to be Lao Tzu. As for the flaws of indifference and unsociability, they were directly ignored by the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.

When a person is pleasing to the eye, disadvantages can also become advantages. This is the case now, the original shortcomings have now become "the cold arrogance of the emperor".

The rules of the game in the Orc Empire are Mu Qiang, Duke Daniel's outstanding performance in military affairs, which directly allowed him to squeeze out the previous brothers and become the heir of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

The result came a little suddenly, and even Daniel didn't expect that he, who was not liked by the nobles of the clan, miraculously won everyone's support.

Everything was forced out, and the days when they were chased and killed by the Terrans all the way into the wilderness made the magnates deeply realize that if they want to enjoy a luxurious life, they must first let the race survive.

Daniel, who can fight the most, suddenly became a sweetheart. The former cold-faced duke has directly become an "arrogant emperor".

The other four royal families don't care about dragging their feet and stabbing them now, so they will work together to eliminate their own threats first.

It is not enough to destroy the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, but also to severely damage the old enemy of the Alpha Kingdom. Otherwise, after the war, with the Alpha Kingdom taking the lead, maybe with the support of the Terran Alliance, the Seven Kingdoms will come back.

After all, the high-level leaders of the Seven Grassland Kingdoms have run a fine run, and these guys have the support of big forces behind them. With a little help, the army will be restored.

"This is not enough, the main forces of the enemy are still there. Now that the battlefield on the Western Front is over, it won't be long before the most elite expeditionary corps of Alpha will appear on the battlefield.

Hudson is not as easy to fool as James, this man has not been defeated since he entered the army.

With the current strength of the Empire, it is only slightly stronger than the enemy. But they are on the defensive side, and relying on the fortifications of the fortress can basically wipe out our advantage.

Marshal Daniel, what are you going to do next? ”

The Lion Emperor asked with concern.

If the family foundation is not thick, you can't toss blindly. The current orc empire wants to defeat the Alpha Kingdom without sacrificing too much strength.

"Then fight the enemy before Hudson arrives. Rest assured, the enemy has fallen into the trap and is now waiting to close the net.

Originally, I was thinking of waiting for the expeditionary force to come and swallow them all. But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there is no chance.

It's good to save too many fish and burst the net.

After this battle, the Empire will regain all of the lands lost in the previous war. No matter how powerful Hudson is, he has to have soldiers in his hands.

Of course, it is limited to severely attacking the Alpha Kingdom, and if you want to destroy them, it will be difficult to achieve it with the strength of the empire! ”

Daniel said confidently.

In the eyes of others, being able to break through the enemy's strongest first line of defense so quickly was already a great victory, but Daniel was not satisfied.

After tossing for a month or two, only one line of defense was taken and tens of thousands of enemy troops were annihilated, which was simply a weak explosion.

According to this style of play, the war will evolve into a war of attrition in the middle and late stages. The current orc empire doesn't have so much cannon fodder to use, and if it is really consumed, it will be a good lose-lose.
