On the Holy Mountain, the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Holy See was suffocating. As the person directly responsible for the deterioration of the situation in the Central Continent, the pressure of public opinion is overwhelmingly swept towards the Holy See.

You can't shake the pot if you want to. According to the division of tasks within the Terran Alliance, the dwarven kingdom happens to be within the scope of the Holy See's responsibility, and they took this task on their own initiative.

Such an active performance of the Holy See, in addition to taking the opportunity to weaken the Kingdom of Ruthenia, is mainly to expand the influence of the Holy See.

It would be terrible for a religious organization to have no presence.

Especially when there is an anti-bone boy in the north and south continents, and they want to subvert their sacred status at any time, the Holy See needs to come out and brush up on its presence.

It's just that judging from the current situation, the situation has backfired.

Through this war, the influence of the Holy See was indeed expanded, and the declining kingdom of Ruthenia was infiltrated into a sieve by them.

It's a pity that something happened on the side of the dwarven kingdom and didn't follow the established script, ruining the good situation of the Holy See.

If it weren't for believing in the allies too much, not guarding against the enemies in the rear, and being taken advantage of by the dwarven kingdom, the situation in the Middle Continent would not have deteriorated to the point of collapse all at once.

After suffering such a big loss, the countries of the Central Continent will naturally not give up. If you can't help the Holy See in action, then you will fight back in public opinion.

Regardless of the final result, there is such a big omission, and the Holy See must give everyone an explanation.

So much so that the new round of the Terran Alliance Council has directly become a critical meeting against the Holy See. The delegates of the mainland countries all caught them and sprayed them fiercely, and the representatives of the Holy See almost became depressed.

The polite deputies lightly sprayed them for "conniving at the alien race as a calamity to the human race"; The unceremonious deputies directly charged them with "colluding with foreign races and eliminating dissidents."

The Lord of Dawn is above, and on the issue of the deterioration of the situation in the Central Continent, they are at most suspected of conniving at foreign races, and they definitely not reach the point of "colluding with foreign races and eliminating dissidents".

After all, no matter how you look at it, the countries of the Central Continent are not the sworn enemies of the Holy See.

Even if it is true to collude with foreign races and eliminate dissidents, it will be against the two heretics of the Alpha Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom.

"Captain Gu Lei, I need a reasonable explanation for the Dwarven Kingdom's division of troops to invade the Middle Continent!"

The words of the Seventh Face, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

The coach was summoned back from the front in a hurry, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was the rhythm of accountability.

If you directly reprimand, or even scold, it means that there is still room for redemption, and what you are most afraid of is this kind of non-expression.

"Your Majesty, this incident was a complete accident. The armies of the dwarven kingdom were all dragged to the front line by us, and no one expected that they would form dozens of second-line legions......"

Before Ghulei's explanation was finished, a mocking smile appeared on Pius VII's face, and he asked indifferently:

"I didn't expect it, why don't you go to the Terran Alliance Council and explain things clearly in front of the representatives of various countries?

Dozens of second-line legions, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, not dozens or hundreds of dwarves, you, the front-line commander, actually told me that I don't know!

Well, really good!

If these troops do not go to the Middle Continent and appear directly on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Ruthenia, will you also tell me - no one thought of it beforehand? ”

It is very difficult to keep the movements of large groups of troops completely secret. This kind of thing is not something to be thought about, as long as you send a little more people to investigate, you will definitely find something.

The Holy See is not without an air force, and no matter how tightly guarded the enemy is, it is impossible to block the entire border line.

Just look for a chance and you'll be able to fly over. It's really not good, sneak in at night with the help of night cover.

At most, the Dwarven Kingdom is well defended on the front line, and there are not so many air forces in the rear. With a little care, you can see that something is wrong.

Even if the intelligence lags behind, everyone can accept it. However, the reality is that the Holy See is ignorant of the military maneuvers that are taking place in the Dwarven kingdoms.

If the enemy really targets the Kingdom of Ruthenia and there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops at once, the coalition led by the Holy See will have to suffer a great loss.

No matter how good the reason is, Gu Lei will definitely not be able to escape the charge of dereliction of duty this time.

It's good that the situation can be salvaged, but if the Central Continent can't be pulled back from the abyss, the tragedy will not only be Gu Lei himself, but the entire Holy See will be hit hard politically.

"Your Majesty, please give us a chance to make amends!

Since the situation in the Middle Continent deteriorated, the Knights of the Judgment have launched an onslaught on the front line, striving to defeat the Dwarven Kingdom in the shortest possible time.

The deterioration of the situation is only temporary, and when we can defeat the main force of the Dwarven Kingdom, we will immediately wave our troops into the Central Continent to support the countries and help the ......."

Before Gray could finish speaking, Blake, the old rival on the side, the head of the Knights of the Trial, stood up and interrupted:

"Anyone can say big things, but the key is to look at the performance on the battlefield.

The Dwarven Kingdom, if it had been so easy to defeat, this war would not have dragged on until now.

If you make a mistake, you have to admit it!

If you carry it to the end, you will only be more wrong.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that before we defeat the Dwarven Kingdom, the situation in the Middle Continent will collapse first.

The top priority now is not to defeat the Dwarven Kingdom quickly, but to stabilize the countries of the Middle Continent first.

It's rare for an alien alliance to really cooperate, and I don't think that will last long, maybe the elves are already negotiating.

After all, the strategic goals of their participation in this war have basically been achieved. If you continue to do so, you are purely giving to your allies.

All the races in the Interracial Alliance are now heavily dependent on the support of the Elves, and as long as the Elves want to negotiate peace, they can't stop them.

In view of the current situation, if it weren't for the fear that the Terran Alliance would be held accountable afterwards, I am afraid that as long as the Elven Race released a little bit of goodwill, the countries of the Central Continent would rush to compromise with them.

It is best to be able to stabilize the situation in the Central Continent, and if it is impossible to do anything, then find ways to ease relations with the countries of the Central Continent. Otherwise, the post-war situation will be very unfavorable for us! ”

A series of analyses made Gu Lei break out in a cold sweat directly on his forehead. There is no way, the old opponent's fall into the well has all been smashed on his soft underbelly, and these problems are exactly what he is most worried about.

Caught on the verge of extinction, if the countries of the Central Continent are lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, they will definitely alienate the Holy See after the war.

In his mind, Ghuray had already vaguely seen a new heresy rising. Echoing the two major heresies of the north and the south, from the south to the north are full of heresies.

"You ......"

The trouble caused was too great, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, and when the words came to his mouth, Gu Lei was forced to swallow them back.

If you want to fight for sympathy points, you have to show weakness now.

There are many factors that affect accountability, and right and wrong are only secondary factors, and the pope also has to consider the political balance.

Some time ago, the Knights of the Inquisition caused a mess, and Blake was able to land smoothly, the main thing is that the Pope wants to play balance.

The situation is similar now. The several major knightly orders of the Holy See confronted each other and checked and balanced each other, so that the authority of the Pope could be guaranteed.

In the style of Pius VII, the probability of directly beating a person to death with a stick is very small until a more suitable replacement is found.

What's more, the current battlefield of Ruthenia is still dominated by the Knights of the Adjudication, and after taking down the commander of the legion, Guray, and suddenly changing someone, the problem of command alone will not be smooth for a while.

"Enough!"

"Whoever makes the mess, who is responsible for cleaning up. Commander of the Gregories, I don't care what difficulties you have, the battle situation of the Kingdom of Ruthenia must make a breakthrough in the shortest possible time.

If you can't, then you don't have to come back. The Holy See does not raise waste, especially waste that only causes trouble!

Bishop Sauron, you can arrange for people from the countries of the Middle Continent to contact you, and if they are willing to persevere, we can compensate them to a certain extent.

No matter how the situation changes, our relations with the countries of the Central Continent must now be repaired.

Let the Three Kingdoms hold on as much as possible, it is really impossible to do it, and do not force it. Promises can be made to them when necessary, and in short, everything is based on repairing the relationship. ”

Patronus VII said ruthlessly.

Now is not the time to settle accounts after the autumn, even if it is to be replaced, it will be after Gu Lei has cleaned up the mess.

Looking at everyone's reactions, you can see that there are many people who are angry at Gulei, but there is no one who asks for a change of coach.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to replace it, it's mainly that the position of the commander-in-chief of the front line is too hot now. Whoever goes up is cleaning up the mess, and it should be done well, and if it is messed up, it will be held accountable together.

If you want to turn things around in a short period of time, hit the dwarf kingdom hard, and enter the Middle Continent, you are purely painting a big pie.

It is true that the Holy See army is strong, and the dwarves are not soft persimmons. In particular, the entrenched area of the dwarven kingdom is still dominated by mountains and hills, which is not suitable for the development of large armies.

To be precise, it is not suitable for the Terran army to deploy, and the dwarven army can still move freely.

The Arms Kingdom is also a mining maniac, and most of the traffic in the Dwarf Kingdom is a super tunnel connected by a series of mines, which is equipped with an exclusive magic mining vehicle with a load capacity of several tons.

Transporting ore in peacetime, transporting troops and strategic materials in wartime, is a proper national weapon.

In order to guard against the human race, the dwarven kingdom deliberately designed the height of the mines in the border area to be particularly short. With a height of less than one meter three, humans simply cannot walk normally in it.

In terms of national defense projects, the investment of the dwarven kingdom is also not low. There are a lot of various fortresses and fortresses, which are basically built beyond the specifications, and they are rich and capricious.

Not to mention weapons and equipment, the most powerful arms dealers on the mainland will not lack equipment if they lack anything.

The reduced version sold to the outside world is a symbol of quality and is deeply loved by all ethnic groups in the mainland. The power of the original and authentic products will only be greater.

In the war in front of the Holy See, the delay in making a breakthrough and the lack of effort were only one of the reasons, and it was more that the dwarves were really hard to bully.

……

In the Northern Continent, since the expeditionary force entered the period of repair, Hudson once again lived a life of staring at the enemy.

A decisive battle is impossible.

No matter how the orc army outside lured him, he insisted on holding his ground. The generals who were eager to try were also bloody, and Hudson scolded them.

Fortunately, Hudson had already made a name for himself and established his prestige in the army, otherwise he would have been suspected of being a mess.

The more unpretentious the tactic, the harder it is to crack. A simple move of static braking caused a headache for the orc army.

Daniel, the commander, also returned to his position with his troops, but after a walk around the prairie, his status as a military god no longer existed.

Everything is afraid of comparison, and meeting Hudson can only be regarded as unlucky. The end of the loss of soldiers buried most of his prestige in the army.

The main reason is that he is too young, he has been a coach for a short time, and his prestige has not yet had time to penetrate into the hearts of the people.

If a veteran celebrity encounters such a setback, it is nothing at all. After all, no flower is red for a hundred days, no one is good for a thousand days, and no one can guarantee that they will always win and be undefeated.

"Marshal Daniel, you don't have too much psychological pressure either. We all know what happened in the battle on the steppe, and the main responsibility is not on you.

Under normal circumstances, no one could have expected that following the march would lead dozens of miles.

The officers involved are all killed, and there is no way to hold them accountable, so let the matter pass!

Adjust your mentality first, and you still need to worry about the next war. ”

Beamon Emperor Alex opened his mouth to comfort.

This kind of soothing work is only he can do among the five emperors.

has nothing to do with personal ability, the main thing is that the other four emperors are arrogant and can't let go of their bodies.

It's all about strength.

In recent years, the Beamon royal family has declined too much, and it has fallen behind among the five imperial courts.

In the just-concluded Prairie War, they lost another large tribe. Let the already not rich population be hit hard again, and if some changes are not made, the race will be wiped out.

As a result, Alex had to find a suitable role in the empire in order to keep Beamon's royal status.

"Thank you for your concern, my current state has stabilized, and it will not affect the follow-up battle."

Daniel responded politely.

There was still a sense of gratitude between the eyebrows. It is obvious that this cold-faced duke also has a tender side.

Even if he knew that Alex was putting on a show, he was still very grateful.

No matter how much the emperor is defeated, it is also the head of the orc empire, and having Alex to help him say a fair word is more effective than Daniel's own defense a hundred times.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start talking about the withdrawal!

Now that the war has been going on, the plan to quickly defeat the Alpha Kingdom can already be declared bankrupt.

The empire could not afford to lose a forced siege, and the enemy refused to come out for a decisive battle. The army continues to stay here, and there will be no substantial gain except for wasting money, food, and time.

Personally, I don't think it's necessary to continue the confrontation that doesn't make sense. It is expected that the national strength will be wasted here, so it is better to go back and recuperate.

In recent years, the consumption of the empire has been very large, and all races are in a state of exhaustion, and it is time to take a good rest. ”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor was the first to speak.

Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat. The supply of strategic materials is insufficient, and these carnivorous races have become the biggest victims.

"The Wolf Emperor is right, it's really time to take a break. The empire had just regained the steppes, and production everywhere needed to be restored.

It is not enough to rely on the old, weak, sick and disabled in the rear alone, and it is what we should do to stop the war at an early date, disband the people and the army, and go back to reclaim the land and graze the pasture. ”

The Lion Emperor chimed in.

The former main battle faction has become the current main peace faction, and politics is so mysterious. Flexible political stances are also necessary in the face of racial interests.

"Stopping the war is not something we can count just by saying it.

Did the Alpha Kingdom on the other side say yes?

What about the Interracial Alliance?

Originally, our relationship with the alliance was not good, and if we made peace with the enemy without authorization, I am afraid that the relationship with all the races in the alliance will be over! ”

The Bear Man Emperor immediately objected.

Stopping the war he is not against, but not now. The situation in the Middle Continent has finally been in favor of the Interracial Alliance, and withdrawing from the war at this time is selling out of teammates.

Similar operations have been done by the Orc Empire in history, and being isolated in the last war is the price they paid for "betrayal".

If there is a shortage of strategic materials, then find a way to solve it. If the food supply is insufficient, it is better to replace wild vegetables, leaves, bark and grass roots, who was not a carnivore in ancient times?

In the eyes of the Bear Emperor, the insistence of these pure carnivorous races is hypocrisy. Just a few more days of hunger will naturally change.

Anyway, the bears can become omnivorous, so there should be no problem with other races.

"Emperor Xiong, you said it yourself, we don't have a good relationship with the major forces in the alliance, so why rush to it?

Even if we grit our teeth and persist until the end, they will not appreciate it, but will think that it should be so.

The Interracial Alliance wants to explain, why?

Except for the support of the elves, we have never received a single aid from other races, so why should we look at their faces. If you want to exclude us, then let them go.

Our areas of control don't border, and even if we are excluded from the Interracial Alliance, it won't affect us much. ”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor immediately retorted.

It's not that the Orc Empire doesn't want to be in a group with the Interracial Alliance, it's mainly because of the "nail household" of the Alpha Kingdom in the middle, and it can't pull out this nail, and it can't hold it if you want to.
