In the large camp of the Chinese army, a number of high-level generals from the front line, plus the foreign minister of the kingdom, jointly discussed the impact of changes in the situation on the mainland on the kingdom.

It wasn't Hudson who wanted to steal Caesar IV's work. It is true that the Northern Xinjiang War has not really ended, and a number of high-level generals cannot return to the royal capital to participate in the deliberations.

As a shareholder of the kingdom, even if people can't rush back, they must make their own stand.

In order to avoid suspicion, Hudson invited Earl Francis, the foreign minister in charge of negotiations, to him.

The issues involved are too big to be done carefully. Of the thirty-two provinces of the kingdom, there were eighteen governors at the front. One can imagine how much this meeting had an impact on the Kingdom's final decision-making.

Full wings do not mean that you have to jump out and fight against the king. Hudson was not ready to set foot in the court, as long as he maintained his voice in the army, it was enough.

If Hudson extends his tentacles to the political arena again, I am afraid that Caesar IV will not be able to sleep peacefully for a long time to come.

"I think everyone has received the news of the truce between China and the Mainland.

Originally, there was no need to convene everyone to discuss this kind of matter, but last night the kingdom's envoy to Franks activated the teleportation magic array.

The latest round of the Terran Alliance parliament decided not to impose sanctions on the three countries of the Central Continent.

The proposal for an armistice with the Interracial Alliance was also raised, but it was vetoed by the Alliance because the opposition was too loud.

What this means, I think everyone should know!

The Continental War is drawing to a close, and it's time for the kingdom to make a choice. If you have any ideas, please take this opportunity to speak up!"

Hudson said with a blank face.

Everything was expected. The major forces of the Terrans are now fed and lack the motivation to continue the war.

The situation of the Interracial Alliance is similar, except for the two unlucky ones who have been destroyed, the rest of the races have gained a lot.

The winners have won their own stage victories, and it is difficult to continue to fight to obtain greater benefits, so it is naturally time to settle down.

The big forces don't want war, and no matter how much a group of small countries are annihilated, they can't change the overall situation.

There was no immediate armistice negotiation with the alien alliance, and it was only the major giants who deliberately took into account the position of the representatives of the small countries in consideration of the influence.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked when I count it. The Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe + the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms + the Duchy of Orton + the Principality of Ruilimbo + the Duchy of Cantero + the Duchy of Usda + the Duchy of Fik + the Kingdom of Grinteber + the Kingdom of Nadal, sixteen countries in the Northern Continent alone were destroyed.

Coupled with the fifteen unlucky eggs in the Middle Continent, a continental war directly buried thirty-one human countries, a proper new historical record.

"Marshal, the alliance doesn't want to fight now, what about the countries that unfortunately perished in the war?"

Duke Hiro asked eagerly.

It is not that we are concerned about the lives and deaths of all countries, but the main thing is that the handling of this matter will have a direct impact on the future international situation.

If the destroyed countries cannot be restored, then only the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi will be left in the Northern Continent, and even the land communication to the Middle Continent will be cut off by the aliens.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows how much defense pressure the kingdom will need to face next.

At that time, there were alien races in the west of the kingdom, there were also alien races in the south, and the northern frontier was a powder keg, and the scene was unimaginable.

"I'm not very familiar with diplomatic questions, so I'll leave it to Count Francis to answer them!"

No matter who asks, he, Field Marshal Hudson, does not understand diplomacy today. Perhaps for a long time to come, he will be presented as an image that does not understand diplomacy and politics.

As for whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter at all. In many political issues, form is more important than truth.

This gesture was made mainly for the king and the royalists, and showed that he had no intention of becoming a minister.

When the war is over, resign from his position and return directly to the territory with the benefits he deserves, the matter will be over.

As long as Caesar IV is not in his head

, Hudson will be pushed to the "moral high position", and the subsequent political storms and power reshuffles in China will try to avoid involving him.

Unless a candidate emerges in the military to replace Hudson, this supremacy will continue until the kingdom's strategic dangers disappear.

"Duke Hiro, your understanding is skewed. The continental war will both stop and continue for a long time.

Even if an armistice is signed, it will only be in the shadows. On the surface, the Terrans will not recognize every inch of land occupied by the Alien Alliance, and the Alien Alliance will not recognize the achievements of our Terran countries.

As for the countries that have been tragically destroyed, it is a great pity. This topic will be discussed by all parties in the future, and even the Terran Alliance Council will not be convened again in the near future."

Count Francis's explanation shocked everyone. I never thought that the alliance representing the interests of the human race would be able to do such a frugal thing, which is completely challenging everyone's cognition.

The only one who did not react was Hudson on the main seat. He has seen a lot of all kinds of strange operations. The choice of the Terran Alliance is already considered responsible.

In essence, in this war, the two sides will win and lose each other. From the perspective of the long-term interests of the race, the Terrans have also taken advantage of it.

The Interracial Alliance now seems to be majestic and invincible, but in fact it is leaking everywhere.

The multi-ethnic alliance is reluctant to share hardships and hardships, let alone prosperity and prosperity. Even if they are forced by the threat of the Terrans, the various races can suppress the contradictions, strategically they still lack a stable rear.

The Southern Continent had no trace of them, and the Middle Continent and the Northern Continent were not completely occupied by them. If the races can't quickly regain their strength, the next continental war will be their end.

"Count Francis, according to this reasoning, does it also mean that the next chaos in the Northern Continent can only be faced by ourselves?"

Marquis Zuel asked nervously.

Without the support of the Terran Alliance, facing the chaos in the Northern Continent alone, the kingdom is facing more pressure on its defense than it was five years ago.

Five years ago, facing the powerful Orc Empire, only a few provinces in the north faced a direct threat, but now it is a multi-line threat from foreign races at the same time.

The southwestern provinces, which were the rear of the kingdom, directly became the front line. This sudden reversal really challenges people's nerves.

"Your Excellency Marquis's judgment is basically correct, the Terran Alliance has deteriorated, and now it is completely impossible to count on. The situation in the northern continent that followed was mainly supported by the kingdom alone.

The Duchy of Moxi can share some of the pressure on us, but more often than not, they need the support of the kingdom."

Count Francis's words directly explained the kingdom's diplomatic embarrassment. This is not the lack of efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is entirely due to geopolitics.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Hudson knew that everyone was scared. No matter how well-informed you are, you can't stand the sharp deterioration of the situation.

"You don't have to worry too much, this change in the continent is both a challenge and an opportunity for the kingdom.

Breaking it down, the problems facing the kingdom are not as bad as everyone expected.

Although the Warhammer Kingdom in the northwest has fallen, nearly half of its territory is still controlled by the Terrans. The remnants of the ancients have been destroyed by us, and the wounds left by the war are enough for them to live for ten years.

The areas to which several small countries in the southwest belong are temporarily controlled by the elven army, and the question of belonging is uncertain for the time being.

I think it will either be handed over to a certain alien race in the Middle Continent, or it will be annexed by the elven race. No matter who it is, the pressure on us is not too great.

The elves were scarce, and it was impossible to garrison a large number of troops on the border. As long as the lords on the border are honest and don't let the slave traders go over to do things, it will be rare to encounter an elven invasion in a hundred years.

If it falls into the hands of other aliens, then there is no need to worry. We fought on multiple fronts, and they were also in the realm of Hesse.

In terms of military strength, except for the elves, orcs, and dwarves of the alien races, the rest are not the opponents of the kingdom.

The only thing that doesn't have a solution is the orcs, and I don't think anyone has thought about it

I have to reconcile with the orcs. As long as the alien races don't come together, the kingdom can still withstand the orc empire that has suffered a lot of vitality alone.

End the war as soon as possible, recuperate with the people, and the next thing everyone competes is the speed of recovery.

Not wanting to fall into strategic passivity in the future, the kingdom must launch an eastward campaign on the prairie before the five royal families can regain their strength.

Count Francis, let us know the results of the negotiations, so that they may be at ease!"

Hudson pretended to be calm.

Some words can be used to comfort others, but you can't follow the faith. Aliens are not stupid, how can they watch the Alpha Kingdom solve the orcs.

The Alpha Kingdom has been strategically passive since its establishment.

Local wars can also be operated, and once a full-scale war is launched against the orcs, the alien alliance will definitely intervene.

It can be said unceremoniously that in the following days, the nobles of the kingdom must be frugal and carry out the reckless military force to the end.

"Negotiations went very well, and the orcs agreed to return all the kingdom's territory and retreat at least five hundred miles.

Calculated from the agreed time, at this time, the orc army is already on the way to evacuate.

The Northern War is over, and in a short period of time, everyone does not have to worry about the threat of orcs.

After the orc army is withdrawn, the entire Near East will be brought under the kingdom's rule.

Next, the kingdom will rebuild the northern defense line, and if you have any ideas, you can put them forward to the kingdom."

If it weren't for Earl Francis's failure to mention *** ownership, Hudson would have thought it was a miracle in diplomatic history.

Obviously, this positive is frothy. Whether or not the Near East can be included in the kingdom's rule mainly depends on strength.

The contraction of the orc empire is not that they are afraid, but a strategic need. This is different from the past, the army has been facing each other on the border for a long time, and the orc empire simply can't afford it.

Simply retreat a little more, leaving a vacuum area. Anyway, now they are declining badly, and a large area of land is deserted and uncared for, and it is not bad for the little land on the border.

Even if the land is thrown to the Alpha Kingdom, it will not be developed for a while. When you recover, you can just grab it back.

After a short period of distraction, a group of high-ranking generals reacted one after another. However, even if you know that there is a pitfall, it will not affect the choice of the kingdom.

The land bonds issued need to be cashed out, and the meritorious people need to be rewarded, and these all need land.

The losses of this war were not large, there were not so many borderless lands in the country, and everyone had to come to the Near East to open up the wasteland.

Whether we can stand firm or not, that's a matter of the future, and now we will solve the problems in front of us.

……

The camp of the orc army, Duke Daniel took a nostalgic look, and the camp that was constantly being demolished, sighed deeply.

He couldn't understand whether the empire chose to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge at this time, whether it was right or wrong.

It's just that there is a voice in his heart that keeps reminding him that now that he is retreating, it will be difficult to revisit his old place in the future.

During the war, many issues were suppressed. Now that the war is over, it is time to break out.

The first to bear the brunt was the Beamon Imperial Court, which was already sparsely populated, and was eaten by the expeditionary army during the war, and a large tribe was eaten.

The loss of 20,000 or 30,000 people by other big clans may not be a big deal, but for the Bimeng clan, it is a nerve-wracking event.

Their population had been drastically reduced, and now that there is another wave, the number of remaining clansmen is only one-third of that of five years ago.

The number of clansmen is so small, no matter how strong the combat power is, it can't suppress the careerists below.

What's more, the current Beamon Legion is not the former Beamon Legion. In order to ensure the number of troops, they were forced to make all the people soldiers, and the price was that the combat effectiveness plummeted.

If the Beamon Legion at its peak, although it is not as good as the Warcraft Legion made up by the Alpha Kingdom, it is definitely rich in exchange with the ordinary soldiers in the expeditionary legion.

Now the situation is reversed

In the case of equal strength, the Beamon cavalry, whose combat effectiveness had declined, would most likely suffer a big loss when they encountered the expeditionary corps.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, delivered directly to your door. The powerful races below, if they don't attack the position of the imperial court, they deserve to be cannon fodder.

The other four royal families were able to pull Bimon once, but they couldn't pull them a second time.

If you keep helping them hold on, you will cut off the hope of the tribes below. There is nowhere to vent the discontent accumulated by the various clans, and it will eventually come to the five royal families together.

There is no point in talking about the overall situation with the cannon fodder race that has been oppressed for a long time. Anyway, they are not vested interests, and no matter how bad the situation is, that's it.

Remembering Emperor Beamon's suggestion at the meeting that "the Orc Empire needs a major overhaul", Daniel shook his head.

The problems exposed by the empire have long been thoroughly studied. The call for reform has always existed. But when it came to specific actions, everyone was directly dumbfounded.

The five royal families who have the right to speak are all vested interests under the current rule system. Reform is to cut one's own flesh to meet the interests of the following ethnic groups.

"Let's go, Daniel!

The Empire has failed dozens of times here, and it doesn't hurt to add one more. In the face of a stubborn enemy like the Alpha Kingdom, you must learn to adapt.

When it's time to let go, you have to let go. This time it failed, and we have a next time, a next time.

The current situation on the mainland is very favorable to the empire. In the future, we will not be alone!"

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said encouragingly.

He values this son very much. Although he was not able to defeat Hudson, Daniel's command ability within the empire was second to none.

[In view of the general environment,

Choosing an heir who can fight is of great strategic significance to stabilizing the position of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan. Daniel can't be beaten and wasted.

"Don't worry, Father! I can still bear some setbacks, and now I'm just thinking about domestic affairs."

Daniel's words made the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor's worried heart quickly calm down.

It's good that you haven't been knocked down, and only after experiencing setbacks can you have better growth. Famous generals are tempered from adversity.

"Don't think about it, the domestic problem is already very complicated. If you think about it too much, it's even more complicated.

The turmoil has been in place for a while, but it has not affected us. When the situation is uncertain, let's wait and see the situation."
