Chapter 33: The Decisive Battle in Advance
The alliance meeting is still going on, and the situation on the mainland has begun to change.
The divided human races are all capable of coercing the mainland, and the energy that can erupt when united is even more terrifying to all parties.
The geocentric race has not been beaten by the Terrans, and this feeling is not obvious, and the interracial alliance is different.
In recent years, everyone has been digesting the results of the battle, and it seems that there has been a lot of progress, but this progress has not only not narrowed the gap between the strength of the two sides, but has made the comparison of strength between the two sides more and more disparity.
Under the threat of the human race, all races are working hard to develop their own strength, how can there be pig teammates who are holding back at a critical moment.
The Orc Empire, which is the main force of the alliance, is declining with lightning speed, and they don't even have a chance to interfere.
With one less main meat shield, the Interracial Alliance is already at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with the Terrans.
If it weren't for the infighting of the Terrans, perhaps Armageddon would have begun.
The successive appearances of "Demonic Calamity" and "Invasion of the Earth's Inner Race" undoubtedly balanced the balance of strength between the two sides, and also gave rise to new ideas among the various races.
However, it is one thing to breed ambition, and if they want to take the lead in overthrowing the hegemony of the human race, no one dares to be the first bird.
Because of geopolitics, except for the elven race, the other members of the alien alliance are more or less affected by the human race.
Especially the several alien races in the Middle Continent, once a new round of war breaks out, they will be under the greatest pressure.
No one can say the final victory or defeat before the decisive battle, but their "sandwich biscuits" will definitely decline in the big war.
It's okay if you don't want to be a bird, you have something to find the boss. This kind of thing involving the future of the camp is the responsibility of the boss.
……
"Eldest sister, all the races in the alliance want to unite with the demons and overthrow the overlord of the human race......"
Without waiting for the Steppe Elf Queen to finish speaking, the Forest Elf Queen interrupted: "Second sister, there is no need to think about this matter!"
You and I know what the demons are. If they hadn't acted recklessly, they wouldn't have been banished to the Inner Earth by their ancestors back then.
I thought that they would slowly decline and die down below, but I didn't expect that only tens of thousands of years later, these guys would make a comeback again.
With the feud between our people and the demons, the union is a joke!
What's more, with our current situation, even if we overthrow the hegemony of the human race, we will not have the ability to take over the hegemony of the continent, and we will only cheapen other races for nothing.
Even if you really want to make a move, you don't need to rush now. The 10,000-year catastrophe has just begun, and there are opportunities to follow.
The continent of Aslant is not a good place, and I always feel that there is something wrong with the departure of the dragons. Continue to prepare for the splitting plan, and if the situation is not right, we have the means to deal with it! ”
The more you know, the more questions you have to think about.
The enmity between the geocentric race and the elven race is as deep as the sea, and there will inevitably be a plot of pit teammates in the union, and from the standpoint of the elf race, the pit must be avoided.
The careful thinking of the allies, the forest elf queen knows it clearly. It is precisely because it is clear that there is no interest in mixing.
As a race that has experienced many 10,000-year tribulations, the elves have a lot of information in their hands, so they will not go to the fire at the beginning of the catastrophe.
"The Dragon Clan's withdrawal from the mainland back then was indeed a bit abnormal. With their strength, coupled with a group of wurm vassals, no one dares to mess with them at all.
Avoid the young dragon being harassed, which can only fool ordinary people. The place where the dragon clan lived back then was a forbidden area for all races on the mainland.
There are a large number of wurm beasts guarding the periphery, and even if it is a powerhouse in the holy realm, it is very difficult to sneak in quietly.
Almost all dragon slaying cases are accidents that occur when the young dragon runs out on its own.
The reason given by the dragon clan is indeed a bit far-fetched! ”
The Queen of the Prairie Elves said thoughtfully.
It doesn't make any sense to know that there is a problem. The dragons don't want to explain, who dares to force them to say!
What's more, only a few high-level people in the dragon clan know about these truths, and ordinary dragons don't necessarily know as much as a few of them.
"The affairs of the dragon clan have little to do with us, and the trouble is the land splitting plan.
The mother tree has just begun to recover, and if the leylines are moved at this moment, it will inevitably affect the recovery of the mother tree.
It is a matter of the safety of the mother tree, it is better to delay the time for a hundred years, and wait for the mother tree to recover before acting! ”
The Night Elf Queen sighed.
At the mention of the "Elven Mother Tree", the atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive. The Rift Plan is important, but the restoration of the Elven Mother Tree is even more important.
……
The Terran Alliance Council is still hotly discussed, and the countries have begun to act in private. The first few major countries to get rid of the threat of the geocentric race have become the focus of public relations of various countries.
No matter what decisions the alliance makes, the main force on the battlefield in the end is still a few powerful powers.
As the military leader of the kingdom, even if he was hiding in his own territory, Hudson was not able to get rid of the "harassment".
Fortunately, the Alpha Kingdom is located in the northern continent, and the surrounding small countries have almost been wiped out, otherwise there will be more people who come to visit.
There are no small countries in the Northern Continent and the Central Continent, and every member of the Five-Nation Alliance is placed on the continent and is not considered weak.
In the face of the invasion of the geocentric race, all countries have performed well, at least not to the point where they need to ask for help from outside.
It's just that things are subject to change. After the meeting of the Terran Alliance, the positions of several major powers were biased towards hawks, which suddenly gave everyone new ideas.
To be able to borrow strength without borrowing strength is foolish behavior. In addition to the threat of the geocentric race, there is also an interracial alliance on the sidelines.
Face is worthless compared to the tangible benefits of putting an early end to the plague of the geocentric race.
Originally, this was nothing, and it was only right for allies to help each other, but in the end, there was still a moth.
After receiving the news, Hudson went straight to the royal capital and knocked on the palace door in the middle of the night. If nothing else, the great nobles from all over the country are on their way.
It's all because Caesar IV suddenly wants to go on a personal expedition!
The conscience of heaven and earth, it's really not that Hudson wants to be a powerful minister and deliberately suppresses the prestige of the king, it is really not easy for the kingdom to accumulate some family funds.
If he did not send a standing army, but only mobilized the royal family's private army, Hudson would definitely not interfere.
Stepping into the main hall, Hudson found that he had arrived too late.
The six giants in the court, and several big nobles near the royal capital, have all rushed over.
There is only one purpose to persuade the king of his own country to retract his fate!
With so many people persuading, Hudson's hanging heart instantly relaxed.
It seems that everyone has a big picture of the big picture, and this wicked man doesn't need him to do it alone.
The atmosphere in the main hall was very oppressive.
Caesar IV sat in his seat with a red face, as if he was angry, and glared angrily at everyone.
His instincts told Hudson that the anger was not directed at his ministers. Being a courtier to persuade the monarch is originally a proper duty, even if you don't want to listen to it, you can't be so angry.
"Your Majesty, what happened, why did you suddenly take the expedition?"
Hudson asked.
has been a monarch for so many years, and they know each other well. Caesar IV may not have been a great man, but he could listen to persuasion!
Every time, as long as the ministers are united, he will accept it. There were some accidents during this period, but the results were generally good.
The scene in front of me is obviously different, as if it was stimulated by something, and I vow not to give up until I achieve my goal.
"Humph!"
"The old ancestor has pacified the geocentric race in Cromwell Province, and is returning to the dynasty, and he is ready to lead the army to crusade against the geocentric race in the territory of the Five Nations Alliance again!"
Hearing this answer, Hudson instantly understood. Where is this simple leading troops, it is clearly reaching out to the standing army of the kingdom.
What made Caesar IV so angry was probably because there was a change in the royal family's private army, and someone defected to Alpha I under his pressure.
The power of his own lineage is at risk of getting out of control, and he can't bear it on any monarch.
It's just that this is a conspiracy.
Even if it is useless to refuse Alpha I to lead the army, people can still choose to follow the army.
When it comes to prestige in the army, unless Hudson personally leads the troops, no one else can suppress Alpha I.
To be exact, Hudson couldn't hold it back. He is the founder of the country, and his status is terrifying, and he can not listen to greetings as a courtier, but it is obviously impossible to restrain the behavior of Alpha I.
As long as Corporal Neng Lixian can rely on the prestige of Alpha I in the kingdom to gather a group of supporters in the army, it is not difficult.
If you want to prevent this kind of hookup, the best option is naturally to stare at it yourself.
In any case, Caesar IV is the one they are loyal to now, and even if they want to hook up, they will be a little more restrained in front of him.
The founding lord is shameless, this kind of reputation suppression is really difficult to do!
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered in the long run!"
Hudson tactfully persuaded.
Suppressing Alpha I is indeed important, but it is also risky to take the throne in person. If there had been a big defeat in the past, the consequences would have been even more severe.
The current situation is that the great nobles are generally not interested in Alpha I, but the name of the founder is very useful among the small and medium-sized nobles.
This is the royal family's own pot, and it has been praising how awesome their ancestors are for many years, and now it's time to pay the price.
"Marshal, I also know the risks, but I don't have a choice!
If you continue to back down, you don't know what will happen in the future!
By the way, what's going on on the orc's side? ”
Listening to Caesar IV's questioning, Hudson instantly understood. It's been a long time, and I'm thinking about him.
The royal conquest binds the prestige of the monarch, and he can only win but not lose. In such a war, the requirements for the commander are very high.
After being talked about by his ministers for so many years, Caesar IV has long lost confidence in his military command ability.
Although there are many generals in the kingdom, none of the Hudsons can be reassured by who can be arranged.
The king is in command does not mean that the king personally commands, entrusts the major affairs of the army, and keeps an eye on Alpha I under his own name, which can also achieve the goal.
"Your Majesty, the orcs are still restless. The invasion of the Inner Race has caused them some trouble, but that's because the races are pulling each other back.
If the kingdom reveals a flaw, this infighting will soon subside, and another invasion is not out of the question! ”
Hudson decisively refused.
Even if they support their allies, the main force of the kingdom's army still has to stay on the border to guard against the orcs. If you leave the front line without permission, you will be occupied by doves if you don't do it.
Alpha I can pull down his face and go to the reinforcements, and he can also go to the front line of Xueyue Lake to "support".
For the sake of political interests, there will be no border conflicts, and conflicts will arise.
If it weren't for Hudson's suppression, those militants in the army would be eager to do things every day.
The battle at the top is not clear to the middle and lower officers. As long as Alpha I is in charge, there will be no supporters.
Referring to the royal private army, Hudson was very suspicious of many officers, and they all joined the Alpha I party in a daze.
It has been less than two months since the expedition was carried out, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to even understand each other, how can people's hearts be so easy to win over!
Even if Alpha I's personality is strong, everyone has a good feeling in their hearts at most. If you want to gain everyone's support and allegiance, this is not enough.
Hudson himself is an example.
To be able to have a call for appeal in the army is mainly to bring benefits to everyone. Following him to the battlefield, not only is it easy to get promoted and rich, but the death rate is also much lower.
Caesar IV was frightened by Alpha I's actions, but Hudson didn't take it seriously.
Even if there are small and medium-sized nobles who move closer to Alpha I, it does not mean that they are willing to support Alpha I to usurp power, these are two different concepts.
As the current king, as long as Caesar IV himself does not make mistakes, no one can do anything with him.
Knowing that he knew, Hudson still didn't open his mouth to remind.
Ministers are never easy to be.
Holding great power is already hateful, but when the threat of foreign enemies is serious, it is okay, everyone can help each other in the same boat.
With the gradual decline of the Orc Empire, Hudson's situation in the kingdom has actually slowly become awkward.
It seems that he is supporting Caesar IV against Alpha I, but in fact he is happy to see Alpha I jump out to fight for power.
There is a fight between the old king and the current king, so everyone's eyes will not be on him.
If Alpha I does not appear, Hudson is also ready to launch a target to distract Caesar IV.
However, the chess pieces that are forcibly pushed out are definitely not as good as Alpha I.
As the founder of the country, even if it is just an empty shelf now, it can still make Caesar IV restless.
And even what he can't do yet!
From the moment he publicly recognized his identity, Caesar IV was tied hand and foot.
"Marshal, do those orcs dare to invade again?"
Caesar IV asked dissatisfiedly.
Obviously, this is Hudson's prevarication. The Orc Empire may invade the Alpha Kingdom again, but definitely not now.
Once an internal contradiction breaks out, it is by no means something that can be straightened out in a few words. What's more, the current political structure of the orc empire has changed, and the time that needs to be run in will definitely not be short.
"Your Majesty, orcs have always been bold, and they can't do things with common sense!"
With that, Hudson went straight back to his seat.
What a loyal minister should do, he has already done, and whether to listen or not is Caesar IV's own business.
Anyway, he won't do thankless things. It's easy to suppress Alpha I, but the problem is that there are sequelae after doing it!
The reputation of "suppressing the founding father" is not good to hear. Even if Caesar IV appreciates it now, it will slowly change over time.
The unhappy scene did not stir up a single wave. Everyone is smart, and Hudson's refusal was to be expected.
On the issue of confronting Alpha I, they also chose to play dumb. It has nothing to do with loyalty, the main thing is that Alpha I has not crossed the line yet.
Judging from his current performance, he is at best greedy for power. For a founding father, this small flaw is nothing at all.
Beautify, in other words, it becomes caring for the juniors.
It is impossible to defeat Alpha I with this little thing.
Even if this operation fails, people can do it again. But for the ministers of the DPRK and China, their political life is only once.
Once he encounters defeat in the struggle for royal power, he will be covered and leave; If it is serious, he will be ruined and lose his life.
……
The internal power strife in the Alpha Kingdom directly affected the efficiency of sending troops.
The princes and nobles of the court opposed the king's personal conquest, and Caesar IV did not want to give Alpha I a chance to win the hearts of the people, and the matter suddenly became deadlocked.
As a result of this delay, the situation has undergone subtle changes.
Armageddon broke out ahead of schedule!
The geocentric race didn't have time to plant spies within the Terrans, but the Interracial Alliance planted them, and these guys who were afraid that the Terrans would not be chaotic directly spread the news of the Terran Alliance's meeting.
The geocentric race, which realized that something had happened, was naturally unwilling to sit idly by, and directly chose to launch a decisive battle in advance.
Fort August.
This military fortress, which once resisted the invasion of orcs, was destroyed by the war because of the invasion of the Inner Race.
Time was running out, and there were still traces of temporary repairs on the walls. It can be seen that this is another emergency project that was rushed out of overtime.
This is no longer the case. Once faced with an orc invasion, the Duchy of Moxi was a purely defensive side; At this moment, in the face of the geocentric race, the two sides are fighting back and forth.
Time is the best way to train people, and the young generals who followed Hudson to resist the orc invasion have now grown up.
Raquel patrolled the defence as usual and was noticeably more mature than he had been a few years ago. His face was full of vicissitudes, as if telling that he had not been in vain all these years.
The times make heroes.
If there was no orc invasion, no brother died tragically on the battlefield, he would still be a rice borer who eats and waits for death.
Life is not up to people.
The sudden change made him have to shoulder the burden of family inheritance, and the pressure from all sides urged him to keep improving.
With this effort, the Principality of Moxi has one more rising star.
Whether it is the previous continental war or the current invasion of the geocentric race, Raquel's performance is remarkable.
"Lord Governor, the enemy has moved!"
