There was a war of words, but in the end it ended in vain. The psychological disparity between the two sides was so great that even if both sides made concessions, the negotiations were at a stalemate.

According to the rules of the Aslant continent, the problems that cannot be resolved at the negotiating table are usually solved by a fight.

The interracial alliance hopes to force the three kingdoms to submit by force, and the three kingdoms also want to fight by military means to fight for their own rights.

The unpleasant initial contact pushed the situation in the Central Continent to a climax, and the war became more and more intense.

The changes in the international situation have not yet affected the Alpha Kingdom. It's not that the top level of the kingdom doesn't know that the situation in the Middle Continent is deteriorating, but it's really beyond the reach of the whip.

As the commander-in-chief of the military, Hudson naturally received the news of the deterioration of the situation in the Middle Continent. I don't know where the confidence came from, Caesar IV also sent a letter urging him to quickly solve the orc empire.

The situation is very good, but that's just the surface. If he really wants to lead a large army to fight a decisive battle with the orc empire, Hudson doesn't think the kingdom can win.

Now the good news continues, and that's because he dragged the orcs into a war of attrition. With the advantage of a higher level of civilization, bully the orc empire.

Once the orcs come to their senses, reluctantly abandon large areas of land, and give up directly confronting them, the situation will immediately change.

Even if the orcs are defeated temporarily, it is useless, and even if the Terran Alliance is backed up, the comprehensive national strength of the kingdom is not enough to support the labor expedition.

"Marshal, the enemy's army has moved. According to the reconnaissance information, the nearby orc army has all been mobilized and is rushing towards our side.

Fighters have appeared, and as long as we drag on here for a few days, we can get the defenders out of ......"

Before Kane could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "There's no need, the time for Armageddon is not yet ripe.

What the kingdom needs is not just a victory, but a victory that it has nothing to lose. If we fight with the orcs and lose both, what will we do to deal with the international situation behind?

Pass the order, ignore the enemy's troop movements, and let the troops wait for the opportunity to find the enemy's weak links and directly break through and return home! ”

A fighter that everyone can see is not a fighter.

Although I don't know what the orc's brain thinks, I actually stupidly mobilized the infantry to surround the cavalry, but it will definitely not be wrong to ignore it.

Expeditionary legions can go behind enemy lines once, and then they can come back a second time. In the vast grassland, even if the orcs are prepared, they can't prevent it.

Maybe the big tribes can bring a little trouble to the expeditionary force, but the mainstream of the orc steppe is still the small and medium-sized tribes.

A small tribe of several thousand people, even if the main force is at home, cannot stop the footsteps of the expeditionary force.

If the security problem in the rear cannot be solved, the orc empire will only become more and more passive in the next war.

"Yes, Marshal!"

……

In the camp of the orc army, the five emperors who received the battle report from the front line had gloomy and terrifying faces.

In order to improve the follow-up battle plan, all the orc high-level leaders, including the five emperors, didn't sleep all night last night.

However, the plan to lure the enemy has just begun, and the enemy is actually defeated.

"Idiot!"

"It's incorrigibly stupid!"

"Gathered three infantry legions and two cavalry legions, it didn't drag the enemy for a day, and the situation in the empire was ruined by the gang of rubbish below!"

The grumpy bear man emperor immediately scolded.

The failure of the decoy plan meant that they lost the possibility of defeating the main force of the Alpha Kingdom in a short period of time.

The enemy army cowered in the city and could not come out, and there was no way but to storm it.

The expeditionary force can run to the orc empire to walk, which does not mean that the orc army can also go deep into the Alpha Kingdom.

"Sabotage" is easier said than implemented. There are dense fortresses along the way, and even if you send troops over, you only dare to move around, and if you go deep, you are contributing to the enemy's achievements.

High risk is secondary, and the key is that it is useless to go behind enemy lines. In the hundreds of miles of territory on the front line, the enemy has already cleared the wilderness, and there is nothing to grab.

"Enough, Emperor Bear!

No one wants to see this happen. The officers and soldiers on the front line also did their best, but the enemy did not entangle with them at all.

Most of it was our plan, and Hudson saw through it, and he didn't give us a chance to do it at all.

It's better to end it now, if we really have a decisive battle at this moment, we won't be able to eat the enemy.

After Daniel comes over with a large army to join us, and then waits for the opportunity to fight the enemy, at least we can increase the chances of victory! ”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said angrily.

Obviously, the Xiongren Emperor's words just now stimulated him. The speaker may not have the intention, but the listener has the intention.

The Bear Man Emperor blamed his subordinates for being wasted, and in the eyes of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, he was referring to Sang scolding Huai.

The battle is like this, and Daniel, as the coach of the army, must pay the primary responsibility. The son did not perform well, and his face was dull.

can go back strongly, which is also set off by teammates. Daniel's performance was not as good as it could be, and the other orcs were even worse.

If you change the commander to command, the 200,000 troops that have gathered together have now been wiped out.

The tragedy of the Remnant Alliance of the Ancients has proved that the expeditionary legions under Hudson's command have the ability to defeat the strong with the weak.

"Humph!"

"Wolf Emperor, you're not kidding, are you?

Originally, the front line was short of supplies, if Daniel came over with more than 100,000 troops, what would be the logistical guarantee?

At that time, I am afraid that there is no need for the enemy to attack, and the logistics of the army alone will be able to drag down the empire.

One by one, you don't dare to tell the truth, then I'll tell you.

There are only two paths before us. Either attack all the way and forcibly tear through the enemy's layers of defense; Either give up a large area of land and directly withdraw the army and go back to recuperate! ”

As he spoke, the Bear Man Emperor slapped the table in front of him, and the flying sawdust frightened the orcs, and the scene was much more exciting than flipping the table.

The lid was lifted, and all the generals fell into panic, and they all set their eyes on the five emperors.

Now only they are qualified to participate in this kind of scene, and everyone else who speaks may set themselves on fire.

Looking at the bear man emperor with an indifferent face, the faces of the four emperors were also very ugly. The essence of such a faceless effort is that the strength of each ethnic group has changed.

The five royal families were all forced into the poor countryside to survive for a while, and in the era of serious and expensive materials, the losses of cavalry were definitely greater than those of infantry.

When the green and yellow were not available, in order to continue the racial inheritance, the orc royal family, who could not afford to raise so many war beasts, was also forced to reduce the number of cavalry.

To be exact, they only reduced the number of troops, and the specific disarmament work was done for them by the Terran coalition.

Affected by the lack of supplies, the various tribes had to reduce the number of war beasts they raised. The Silver Moon Wolf Clan and the Lion Man Clan suffered the greatest losses, not only eliminating the old and weak, but also temporarily suspending the reproduction of wolf warriors and lions.

These moves directly determined that their military strength would be greatly affected in the next few years.

The bear-man royal family, which was relatively damaged, gradually overshadowed the lion-man clan in military strength and became the number one powerhouse in the orc empire.

Whoever is strong has more right to speak, and the inherent political rules have always constrained the weak.

……

Hudson was relieved to re-enter the kingdom with his army. Don't look in front of the generals, he has always been unfazed, but the pressure in his heart is not small at all.

After all, it is to do things behind enemy lines, and any accidents are possible. If you accidentally collide with the main force of the enemy, you will have to suffer heavy losses.

Glancing at the generals who greeted him, Hudson waved his hand firmly and said, "The soldiers need to rest when they return from the expedition, so postpone the celebration banquet!"

Prepare the wine and meat and distribute them to the troops. It is important to ensure that every soldier of the expeditionary force receives adequate nutritional supplements. ”

After all the wars, there must be a "celebration banquet", not a simple game of praise. The wine and meat are enough, in essence, it is still to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers.

The expeditionary corps slaughtered all sides on the grassland, although there was no shortage of food supplements, but after all, it was on the battlefield, and the rhythm of life was still disrupted.

Because of the needs of war, it is the norm to be hungry and full. Many times when you want to take a sip of hot soup, it is a luxury.

After sleeping in the open along the way, many soldiers lost their weight.

Hudson was anxious to bring the troops back to rest, but he was also worried that the soldiers' bodies would not be able to hold up. If he used it too much and wasted this kingdom elite, he wouldn't be able to explain it to all parties.

"Yes, Marshal!"

When they replied, the generals were obviously suspicious. Still, Hudson's prestige made them swallow back the words that came to their mouths.

The postponement of the celebration banquet is not the cancellation of the event, and it is impossible to make trouble with the coach for this little thing.

The officers have no opinion, and the soldiers below are even less likely to have an opinion. The prepared wine and meat were distributed, and the celebration banquet was postponed, which meant that there would be another time in the future, and it would be a proper double happiness.

The only headache is probably the logistics department. However, this is also a small problem, the expeditionary corps went deep behind the enemy to make trouble for two months, which saved a lot of food and grass materials.

After settling down, the losses of the expeditionary corps were also counted. The price of killing all the way was that 4,000 officers and soldiers remained on the prairie forever, and 2,000 officers and soldiers were forced to retire and return to their hometowns.

Disability can be cured, but the consumed life force is difficult to replenish.

Because of the needs of the war, many soldiers have received many divine treatments, and their vitality has tended to be exhausted.

If you continue to stay on the battlefield, you may die at any time. When you return to your hometown, you can live for a few more years. If you take good care of it, you may be able to catch up with the average lifespan.

Hudson was not a heartless man who could not afford to ignore life. The situation in the kingdom has not deteriorated to the point where it is necessary to fight desperately, and it is impossible to send these heroes to a dead end.

"Jose, go to the army for me and persuade these officers and soldiers who are not suitable to stay on the battlefield."

"Forget it, I'll go over and say it myself. You are responsible for drafting documents to explain the details to the country, and to ensure that these retired officers and soldiers are properly resettled in various localities.

In addition, the expeditionary force's achievements on the prairie and the relevant war history, you can also summarize the statistics, polish and finish, and report them to the kingdom. ”

Hudson said sadly.

He can lead the expeditionary corps to slaughter all sides, but he can't change the cruel nature of war. In the face of the cold casualty figures, the joy of victory disappeared without a trace.

……

The palace of Lutesia, looking at the information gathered from all over the country, Charles III rubbed his forehead with a headache.

As soon as we were not careful, the situation in the Central Continent was on the verge of collapse. If no measures are taken to remedy the situation, the situation on the mainland is very likely to collapse.

"Damn the Holy See, what are they all going to eat! Can you actually divide the troops of the dwarven kingdom, is it difficult for them to want to bury the hegemony of our human race?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent someone to ask Pius VII about that idiot, and Lao Tzu wanted to know what was going on in his head......"

The chatter and angry scolding exposed the anger in Charles III's heart.

What kind of rationality is cultivated, it is all an illusion from the outside world. If something big happens, the people in power will be angry.

It's good to be able to vent your anger in time, but if you keep it in your heart, sooner or later you will have something wrong.

The king's angry words were not heard by everyone. Anyway, it was the Holy See that was scolded, and everyone didn't have the heart to defend the enemy, not to mention that the Holy See was not wronged at all.

The elven army slaughtered in all directions, as everyone expected. Under the joint siege of the Holy See and the Kingdom of Ruthenia, the Dwarven Kingdom still has the strength to stab the countries of the continent in the back, which is completely beyond everyone's imagination.

The kingdom of Ruthenia fell, a large pile of internal contradictions accumulated, and the poor performance was understandable. The powerful Holy See is also showing a downward performance, which is excessive.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that it must be the Holy See who is paddling in the war, vainly trying to use the dwarven kingdom to deplete the military strength of the Ruthenian kingdom.

It doesn't matter if you play with intrigues and tricks, anyway, all countries are calculating with each other, but because of the calculations of the Holy See, the situation in the Central Continent collapses, and it is intolerable.

In fact, Charles III also scolded. The Frankish kingdom is also powerless against the big man of the Holy See.

There is no accountability, and even if the Council of the Terran Alliance can pass it, it is now not capable of initiating a reckoning with the Holy See.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Middle Continent has deteriorated, and the subsequent development of the situation is very likely to be beyond our control.

The ideal state is that the countries of the Central Continent and the alien races will fight to the end until the arrival of the continental coalition forces to reverse the current passive situation.

However, the probability of this happening is not high. If the situation continues to deteriorate, it is very likely that the three kingdoms of the Middle Continent will choose to compromise with the Interracial Alliance! ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Jesús, analyzed with a solemn expression.

"Compromising" with the enemy in a completely passive situation is not simply a matter of stopping the war, but there must be a series of additional conditions.

Without the three countries of the Middle Continent, the future direction of the continental war has also become confusing.

It is true that most of the power of the human race is in the Southern Continent, but this power is not so easy to control. How to deal with the relationship between the three giants of the Holy See, the Frankish Kingdom, and the Libyan Kingdom is a thorny problem.

In addition, the kingdoms of Oprus, Avalat, and Ruthenia, which have declined, also have their own small abacus.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is not necessarily the worst. In fact, compared to us, the Holy See should have more headaches now.

Because of their own permissiveness, the blockade network against the dwarven kingdom has now collapsed, and the subsequent war has a headache for them.

It is estimated that the nobles of the countries in the Central Continent now hate them to death, and the influence of the Holy See in the mainland after the war will inevitably be dealt a heavy blow.

The conditions for the establishment of a separate papacy are now fully ripe. As long as the continental war is over, we can start the operation.

In addition to these benefits, the kingdom further established its superiority over the nations in this war.

In the future, the situation on the mainland is very likely to emerge under our leadership, with one superpower and many powers.

As for the interracial alliance, there is no need to take it too seriously. The current glory is just a flash in the pan, the current elven race is not suitable for war, and this continental war is already their last bloom.

The current victory, which seems to have changed the embarrassing situation of the interracial alliance, is actually too fragile.

Fairness is a big issue, and the fact that the Interracial Alliance can turn the tables against the wind is essentially the contribution of the elves.

But these efforts cannot be unlimited, and sooner or later they will need to be rewarded. When interests are involved, disputes will inevitably arise.

Suffering losses and taking advantage of advantages are inherently difficult to define. No matter how the post-war benefits are distributed, there will be racial dissatisfaction.

A little provocation, and the internal contradictions of the interracial alliance will intensify.

In a sense, the interracial alliance after the armistice was easier to deal with than it is now. ”

The words of the Prime Minister, Duke Bergson, lightened the atmosphere.

It seems that the situation has deteriorated severely, but the congenitally deficient interracial alliance poses a very limited threat to the Frankish kingdom.

The Elves can help the Alien Alliance turn the tide, but that doesn't mean they're willing to continue to contribute to the expansion of the races.
