The elven army marched south, and the situation in the Hessian Kingdom became tense. The threat of the old neighbors, the Stone Tribes, has not been eliminated, and now a strong enemy has been added.

The only one who was easy was probably the Count of Louis Vuitton. Woe to the blessings, how cool it was for the Hesse to annex the Korubi Abel before, and how much headache they have now.

The expansion of the territory made the Hessian Kingdom the first of the three kingdoms in the Middle Continent to face the elven army, a proper copy of hell.

Gratitude does not exist. It's not that he asked the Hesse people to help block the knife, and if he doesn't do things and drags his feet, he is taking care of the overall situation.

After all, it is not the lineage of the kingdom, and it is because Alexander V takes into account the international influence of the high-level meeting.

There wasn't much presence, and the Count Louis Vuitton was happy to paddle. It's okay to toss it casually, anyway, he was transferred again not long ago, and he changed from a rich county to a remote mountain county.

The backcountry also has the benefits of the backcountry, even if the alien army comes over, it won't be his turn for a while.

"The Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi refuse to send troops together, what's going on, don't they have a little sense of strategy?"

Alexander V asked with a puzzled expression.

If you open the map, you can see that once the Hessian Kingdom is defeated, the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi will be surrounded on three sides by the Interracial Alliance.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that under this all-out passive strategic pattern, the two countries may be in danger of collapse at any time.

"Your Majesty, according to the information coming from the north, the orc army has just won a great victory, and the Alpha Kingdom has been forced to abandon several provinces in the north.

In order to deal with the invasion of the orcs, they have concentrated their forces to the northern frontier, and they are afraid that they are really powerless against the invasion of the elves.

The Principality of Moxi has too many areas bordering foreign races, and most of the reluctance to send troops is for fear of burning themselves.

What's more, in recent years, they have been strategically following the actions of the Alpha Kingdom. Not long ago, the invasion of the Ancient Relic Alliance was also solved by the Alpha Fa for them, and it is not surprising that the two countries continue to maintain unity.

Of course, it is not excluded that the two countries and the elves have reached an agreement in secret. ”

Foreign Minister Marquis Krasner explained in embarrassment.

It's not that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't work hard, it's that the reasons for people's refusal to send troops are too sufficient, and there is no room for pressure to exert them.

The orc army has invaded the country, and people must protect themselves first, and they can't find anything wrong at all.

In a sense, the current passive situation is also of their own making. If they had supported the Northern Continent at the beginning of the war, the situation would never have collapsed so quickly.

But the problem is that they are not the only countries on the mainland, and if they only contribute to others watching them, everyone's heart will be unbalanced.

The impression of the elves paddling was too deep, and everyone was holding on to the luck mentality, thinking that they could end the war before the elves intervened.

With this mentality, when the countries of the Northern Continent asked for help, the three major kingdoms of the Central Continent all chose to wait and see.

This wait-and-see situation is a big deal, and by the time they realize that something is wrong, it will be too late to take action.

The expected Flesh Shield Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi did not play their due role, and they did not fight with the elven army at all.

Although it is suspected that they have reached an agreement in secret, if there is no evidence, the Terran Alliance will only bring shame on itself.

After all, when it comes to fighting against aliens, the Alpha Kingdom has always been on the front line, and its contribution to the human race is obvious to all.

"That's it, the two of them don't have much strength, so it's okay if they don't send troops.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should hurry up to contact the countries of the Central Continent, especially the Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Coast, and it is necessary to form a coalition army in the Central Continent in the shortest possible time to block the elven army from moving south! ”

Alexander V said helplessly.

It seems to be a light description, but in fact, his heart is not calm at all. Without the participation of the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi, it is not only a reduction in troops, but also a comprehensive strategic passivity.

According to their initial strategy, the elven army should destroy the Duchy of Moxie and inflict heavy damage on the Alpha Kingdom before heading south, so as not to threaten its flanks.

Although I don't know if the three parties have reached an agreement, the elven army went directly south anyway, and it seems that there is no concern about the threat to the flanks.

"Your Majesty, let's turn to the Alliance for help!

The Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Bank are in a similar situation to us, they are busy with their own wars, and they are limited in the number of troops they can draw.

The remaining small countries are all vassals of our three kingdoms, and their strength is very limited, even if they form a large army, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the elven army. ”

Count Niklas proposed.

As Minister of War, he was all too familiar with the military prowess of the Central Continent. There has been no big war for many years, and the army has long been rusty, and now they all belong to interns on the battlefield.

From the outbreak of the war to the present, all kinds of messy things have emerged one after another.

It has no national strength, but because of the low efficiency of the government and the poor coordination of all aspects, it is impossible to give full play to its full strength.

Each of them took their younger brothers to work, and they were all chicken feathers in one place, and after the formation of a coalition army, there would be more chaos.

The only good news is that everyone has grown up in the war. If the elven army had come a little later, and the generals of all countries had grown up, the situation would have been completely different.

"Count Niklas, you're thinking too simply. If the Alliance's request for help is effective, the elven army will not be able to reach our doorstep.

The countries of the Northern Continent have long asked the alliance for help, and no matter how tight the battle situation is, it will not be completely unable to draw troops.

Putting aside the declining Ophorus Kingdom, Avalat Kingdom, and Ruthenian Kingdom, it is not difficult for us, Dante, and the South Coast Kingdom to send seven or eight main army corps to reinforce the Northern Continent, right?

The Kingdom of Libya is stronger than us, and since the outbreak of the war, it has pressed the alien races to fight, and it is not a problem to transfer a dozen or so main legions.

The more powerful Holy See and the Frankish Kingdom have never felt the pressure, and each can easily transfer twenty legions.

Pieced together by a number of other small nations, the entire Terran Alliance could have sent a million-strong army to the Northern Continent at the beginning of the war.

It's a pity that because of their own interests, everyone found an excuse to refuse to shirk.

The more the current situation becomes, the more unlikely the major forces in the Southern Continent will be to send troops. Asking them for help has no meaning except to bring humiliation upon themselves.

In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already been in contact with them, and the final result is estimated to be guessed by everyone.

They all talk about reinforcements, but when it comes to specific actions, they just want to annex the surrounding alien races as soon as possible and strengthen their own strength.

Now they are hoping that we and the alien army will lose both, and the war will not end for a while anyway, they can completely finish their own business and come out to clean up the mess! ”

Listening to the mocking words of the Marquis of Krasner, everyone was embarrassed.

When the countries of the Northern Continent asked for help, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advocated sending troops, but unfortunately it was rejected by everyone.

It turns out that the theory of cold lips and teeth is really valid.

Without the reinforcements led by the great powers, the situation in the northern continent quickly collapsed, and the Kingdom of Hesse was forced to carry the banner of resistance to the invasion of the elven army.

The flames of war burned to their homes, and they could no longer hide. Regardless of the eventual outcome of the war, the strategic plans of the Kingdom of Hesse were bankrupt.

A similar scene took place at the same time in the Kingdom of the South Bank and the Kingdom of Dante. Only with the pain of skin can we understand the discomfort of being betrayed.

……

After glancing at the information in his hand, Hudson shook his head secretly.

This continental war has buried more than a dozen countries one after another. However, this is only the beginning, and if nothing else, more countries will fall.

If nothing else, there will be a major reshuffle within the Terran world.

The former top ten kingdoms of the continent, the Warhammer Kingdom has become history, even if it can be restored after the war, it will not change the fate of decline.

The kingdoms of Oprus, Avalat, and Ruthenia, which did not perform well in the war, are now clearly lagging behind.

As a great power declines, it is better to expect its neighbors to fall with it. It's just that judging from the current situation, this seems to be a luxury.

If the Three Kingdoms could not stand up, they would inevitably be devoured and divided after the war. As for the length of this time period, it depends on everyone's discipline.

In a sense, the future fate of the three kingdoms is directly proportional to the speed of the collapse of the moral system.

In addition to these three countries that have internal problems, the Alpha Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms of the Middle Continent are also being tested, and their future fate depends entirely on the subsequent war.

For a moment, Hudson felt the pressure. In the face of the great era, the power of the individual is too fragile.

The mountain leader has this little power, and from the perspective of the Alpha Kingdom, it can be regarded as a force. But if you look at the entire continent, you can't rank at all.

The biggest headache for him is that someone actually robbed refugees with him. Such a move is completely interrupting the development process of the mountain territory.

He knew who the other party was, but he couldn't do anything yet. Compared with the number one power in the mainland, the chips in his hands are too few.

"Pass the order down and let the people from the immigration department take the initiative, and you can't sit there and wait for the refugees to come to the door.

Don't keep your eyes on the Northern Continent, the war is about to burn to the Central Continent, and our old neighbors are about to be unlucky.

Arrange people to go over and wait for the Kingdom of Hesse to fall into war before waiting for an opportunity to act.

I don't care exactly what I'm going to do, I'm going to get people back anyway. Remember to be quiet, and don't put my flag on it.

When necessary, you can spend money to buy mercenaries and slave trading organizations. If something happens, let them take the blame. ”

Hudson said solemnly.

The situation is changing too fast to be risk-free. For the sake of territorial development, he can't afford to offend the Kingdom of Hesse.

Anyway, they have already stormed the whirlpool, and in the next war, the losses will definitely not be small. Even if he discovered his small actions after the war, he didn't have the time to think about it.

Moreover, their relationship with the kingdom had long since deteriorated. Even if there was a diplomatic protest, the kingdom would probably not pay attention to it. As long as the face is passable, that's fine.

"Yes, Count!"

……

After arranging the affairs of the territory, Hudson went straight to the royal capital without stopping. It's not easy to be a commander in wartime, and you can't take a vacation if you want to.

After staying in the territory for less than two days, he was urged by the kingdom to go back to deal with military affairs. It's all the fault of the unfavorable war on the front line.

Although he proposed the strategic contraction plan in order to preserve the strength of the kingdom, all parties still could not tolerate the loss of the city and the land.

Fortunately, this disaster was borne by Marquis James alone, and the kingdom did not announce to the public that it was willing to give up, otherwise Hudson would have been scolded.

The general environment of public opinion in the kingdom is like this, as long as the front line loses the city and loses the land, it is a great crime.

If the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, it is okay, the nobles have some insight and can understand what it is necessary to have it.

Now the difference in strength between the two sides is not big, because of the command error, everyone can't bear to lose all the way to the front!

It's hard to be a good person.

The strategic retraction was mainly to keep the noble lords in the north, and it turned out that the nobles in the border areas of the northern Xinjiang were now making the most trouble.

Hudson also understands their feelings, whose territory is distressed. It's not easy to get a little better, and now I suddenly want to give up, and I must be reluctant.

But there was no way, the supply of strategic materials could not be supplied, and the war could not be fought at all. Either the active strategy shrinks now, or the strategic supplies are exhausted and forced to retreat.

First, the noble lords of the border area were making trouble, and then the five dukes of the north took over and gradually became the main force among them.

In a word, the war burned to the doorstep, and its own core was damaged.

The Marquis James had a hard time. In the face of the pressure of public opinion, he could no longer resist.

Even without Hudson as a substitute, it was only a matter of time before he was ousted.

Hundreds of noble lords have now asked the kingdom to change their commanders, which is very rare in the more than 300 years of history of the Alpha Kingdom.

The kingdom couldn't withstand the pressure, so naturally Hudson couldn't be left idle. Even if the expeditionary corps was in a period of recuperation, he had to take over the position of commander-in-chief.

……

"The front line has suffered setbacks, and now that the morale of the army has been hit hard, it is imperative to restore confidence.

It's not enough to change the manager, reinforcements must also be sent to boost everyone's confidence.

Five standing corps were dispatched, and five legions were recruited from the provinces that had not yet been mobilized, forming an army of 100,000 to go to the front. ”

At the royal capital meeting, Hudson made a direct request.

Because of the defense of the elven army, not all of the kingdom's standing army was sent to the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, and the provinces in the southwest region did not recruit troops to fight.

Now that the contract has been signed, the threat of the elves can be ignored for the time being, and the kingdom can also deal with the northern battlefield with its hands and feet.

"The front-line troops have suffered serious losses, and it is appropriate to send troops to reinforce them. It's just a marshal, isn't it a little less to send an army of 100,000?

Otherwise, ten more legions will be recruited to gather an army of 200,000. ”

Archduke Ephiero asked with a slight hesitation.

The situation on the front line was tense, and in the process of retreating, it suffered several defeats and lost a lot of troops, and the 100,000 army only made up for the losses.
