In the middle of the night, Raquel had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by shouts of murder outside.

"I was in a hurry to attack the city as soon as I arrived, and it seems that tonight is another sleepless night!"

Secretly complaining, Raquel immediately got up and walked quickly to the command headquarters without any panic in the whole process.

It's not how strong his mentality is, it's mainly that he has been tempered by the enemy.

Because of the living environment, the night has almost no effect on the Inner Race.

Since discovering that the Terrans are not good at night warfare, "night attack" has become the standard tactic of the Inner Race.

Relying on night battles, the geocentric race really took advantage of a lot in the early battle.

Affected by this, the army of the Principality of Moxi was forced to change its schedule and divide the soldiers into two shifts.

Under the city wall, there are countless swords and swords. The black pressure is terrifying to look at.

The first to attack was a group of monsters with wolf heads, purely similar to the Silver Moon Wolf Clan in terms of physical appearance, perhaps the two sides were close relatives in the past.

But they are much thinner, as if a gust of wind can blow them down.

It's these thin bodies, and the combat power that bursts out is not weak at all.

Without the use of ladders, werewolves' claws are the best climbing weapon, and even if the walls are built straight, they can still stick to the wall.

If it weren't for the experienced defenders and always paying attention to the movements under the city walls, the enemy would have stolen the city.

In order to deal with the sneak attack of the Inner Race, the defenders also specially equipped magic lamps.

At the moment of the enemy's sneak attack, Augustburg was instantly lit up and illuminated as daylight.

The whereabouts were exposed, but the attack of the werewolf soldiers did not stop, and countless sharp claws clinged to the city wall, quickly completing the climb.

Seeing this scene, the defenders immediately counterattacked, and rolling logs and boulders poured downward like a tide.

The crystal cannon is roaring, the magic crossbow is screaming, and the archers are busy.

The geocentric races outside the city are not idle, and the siege equipment that belongs to the inner world of the geocenter world has appeared one after another at this moment.

The strange Demon Breaker Bed Crossbow is aimed at the magic lamps on the city's head, and these lighting devices are more threatening to the Earth's inner race than the magic crystal cannon at the city's head.

Suddenly, the walls began to tremble, and realizing that the situation was not good, the experienced Raquel immediately ordered:

"If an enemy attacks from underground, the magician regiment will immediately intercept it!"

Fort Augustus is guarded by a magic array, and if you want to avoid the magic array and dig a hole in the ground, the amount of work is very terrifying, and it will not work under normal circumstances.

It's just that this time the enemy is the Inner Earth race, who has lived in the underground world since childhood, and digging holes is a part of their daily life, and it is obviously impossible to deal with it with common sense.

The dazzling magic danced, and the highlight moment belonging to the earth mages arrived, and the gathered earth elements continued to be injected under the city walls, and the originally dug caves were filled in an instant.

"The enemy has been prepared for a direct attack on the enemy's walls!"

With the order of the werewolf general, the magic machinery that was originally used to make holes immediately appeared under the city wall.

The sound of the drill bit turning sounded, and holes quickly appeared in the originally solid city wall, and the defensive magic array seemed to be non-existent.

"Oh my God!

How is it possible to make a demon-breaking drill bit made of Mithril? ”

The exclamation of an old magician made the faces of the defenders on the city wall change greatly.

In the continent of Aslanth, "Mithril" is a hard-to-find magic material, only found in the laboratories of the strong, and is usually used to craft some legendary weapons.

There were dozens of drill bits underneath, all of which were made of Mithril, and such a violent approach was completely beyond the understanding of the defending officers and soldiers.

Even if you search the entire Duchy of Moxi, you may not be able to raise so much Mithril, and as a result, it is actually processed into siege equipment by the enemy.

In an instant, Raquel understood why the enemy was able to avoid the city's defense magic array.

With so many Mithril weapons, no matter how strong the magic array is, it is for nothing.

"Don't keep it, take out all the defending equipment and fight back!"

Governor Raquel immediately ordered.

Reason told him that if he didn't seize the last time to fight back, the stored equipment for defending the city would soon become scrap.

Without the protection of the magic array, the city wall would not be able to withstand the toss.

It's a pity it's late!

From the moment the first hole appeared in the wall, it was only a matter of time before the wall fell,

"Boom ......"

After a loud bang, the walls collapsed.

A gap appeared, and countless werewolf soldiers immediately poured in.

Before the commander could give the order, the defenders had already spontaneously pounced and fought with the werewolves.

A soldier's armor was pierced by wolf claws, blood stained his body red, and he instinctively waved the spear in his hand with his stubborn willpower, doing his best to resist the invasion of the werewolf soldiers.

Similar images continue to appear on the battlefield.

The walls collapsed, but the will of the defenders did not crumble, and the war continued.

The soldiers' faces were full of determination, as if they had forgotten their exhaustion and fear.

In this tragic war, they were brave resisters and heroes who defended their homeland.

Corresponding to it is the ruthlessness of the werewolf soldiers, one werewolf soldier fell, and there are countless geocentric wolf clans behind him to make up for it.

At this moment they forgot their fears, as if death was not the end, but the destiny that belonged to them in the first place.

The same fight for the survival of the race, and they will stop at nothing to win.

They may not be the most powerful army in the Aslant continent, but the fighting will shown by the warring parties is definitely the top in the continent.

As the minutes ticked by, the bloody battle continued. Following the werewolf soldiers, countless lizardbuises have joined the battlefield.

The addition of a new force has injected confidence into the Inner Ground camp.

At the moment when the war was tilted, a hiss pierced the sky, and thousands of griffon dragoons appeared on the battlefield.

Accompanied by all the flying beasts of the Principality of Moxi, these flying beasts were full of soldiers.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

With the air force to send reinforcements, the Principality of Moxi undoubtedly opened a new chapter in the military of the Terran Terran in the continent of Aslant.

The number of reinforcements was not large, and there was obviously no advantage over the enemy troops outside the city, but the confidence brought by the reinforcements stabilized the morale of the defenders.

I had been holding the heart of fighting to the death, but now there was a sudden burst of life, and smiles appeared on the faces of countless defender soldiers.

If you look closely, you will also find a variety of patterns on the soldiers' bodies. Those who know it will know at a glance that this is the standard configuration of the Knights.

The pattern is different, which means that it comes from a different order.

This scene means that reinforcements come from all over the country. The seemingly accidental unification support is actually an oath of unity in the Principality of Moxi.

Obviously, this kind of Liwei action is not only for the geocentric race, but also for the front-line officers and soldiers.

A knight without a war horse will have a great reduction in combat effectiveness, but if it is a city defense, these are not a problem.

The walls are broken, but they are not lost!

After a night of entanglement, until the sky cleared, the two sides still fought over the city wall.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two warring sides had already killed the red eyes, and all that was left in everyone's eyes was killing!

This is a contest of willpower, neither of the warring sides has any intention of giving in, and the offensive and defensive battle of Augsburg gradually transitions to a meat grinder.

……

Similar bloody battles are constantly being staged in various parts of the mainland. In the face of the sudden general attack of the geocentric race, the countries fought back.

Fort Augustus is just one episode, with the difference being that some battlefields where the Terrans withstood the attacks of the Inner Race, while others unfortunately fell.

The Armageddon directly stimulated the Terran Alliance Council, and the members of all walks of life, who were originally quarrelling, passed the "Bill for the Cleansing of the Inner Race" with a high vote in the shortest possible time.

As the regional hegemon of the Northern Continent and the boss of the Five-Nation Alliance, the Alpha Kingdom naturally took over the responsibility of supporting the allies of the Four Nations.

The plan was perfect, and the Alpha Kingdom was willing to send troops, but due to the influence of the battle of commanders, the schedule of sending troops could not be put forward for a long time.

In the Emerald Palace, a new round of high-level meetings of the kingdom has opened again.

Different from the previous meetings of a small number of people, the great nobles from all over the country also appeared at the venue.

At the high-level gathering in the Alpha Kingdom, there are not necessarily many people, but the problem must be serious.

"It has been ten days since the Terran Alliance made a decision, and all countries have announced the timetable for sending troops, leaving the kingdom to be silent for a long time.

Within the Five-Nation Alliance, the inaction of the kingdom is already very annoyed.

If it drags on any longer, the relations of the five-nation alliance will inevitably be affected! ”

Foreign Minister Marquis Omar said solemnly.

The Alpha Kingdom, which is known for its efficiency, suddenly fell behind the countries, knowing that this was affected by the internal power struggle, and those who did not know thought that they were deliberately delaying.

If it is an ordinary international public welfare action, the efficiency will be low, and as long as it can solve the problem, no one can say anything.

But this time it's different!

The situation on the battlefield in Shikoku is tense at the moment.

The surrounding alien races have held back a large number of their troops, and if there are no reinforcements to join, the final outcome is likely to be tragic.

At this critical juncture, it should have been the time for allies to play a role, but the Alpha Kingdom dropped its chain at such a critical moment.

If the problem is not resolved for a long time, the relations between the five nations alliance will be ruined in name only if the relations between the five nations are not done well after this war.

As the most important link in the international diplomacy of the Alpha Kingdom, the five-nation alliance plays an irreplaceable role.

Externally, it can deter the Alien Alliance, and internally, it can improve its voice in the Terran Alliance.

At least until the Orc Empire is swallowed, the Alpha Kingdom cannot afford to lose the Five Nations Alliance!

The seriousness of the problem was clear to everyone, and the pressure was suddenly shifted to the two parties, Alpha I and Caesar IV.

The magnates of the kingdom have come, and today no matter what, one side must make concessions.

"All countries have set the date for sending troops, so let's announce it to the public!

The time was set for three days later, just in front of the Franks and Libyans, and it was an explanation to the allies. ”

Hudson was the first to strike.

As a military boss, it is related to the strategic security of the kingdom, and he must do this evil man.

Although he is suspected of forcing the palace, his body is thick, and he will be remembered at most, and the board will not be able to be beaten down for a while.

In the future, after the autumn will be settled, at least after the power struggle between the two kings will be decided.

"The marshal's proposal is good, we must send troops before the Franks and Libyans, otherwise it will be difficult for the allies to explain.

Your Majesty, it's time to make a choice! ”

Duke Beckett said with a slightly solemn expression.

Originally, he was not ready to take the lead.

But there was no way, Hudson had already made a stand on behalf of the kingdom's military, and the urging eyes of the big nobles from all over the country made him have to speak on behalf of the local powerful faction.

"Your Majesty, you see ...... matter"

The words of the Prime Minister Marquis delgado landed, and the atmosphere on the field was suddenly so solemn that it was suffocating.

The military, the local nobles, and the royal government, representing the largest group of the Alpha Kingdom, have pressed the palace one after another, and the royal power has essentially been impacted at this moment.

Since ancient times, the power of ministers and the power of the king have been the relationship between one and the other, and the three major groups have joined forces to force the palace, which will inevitably lead to the weakening of the authority of the monarch.

For Caesar IV and Alpha I, who were in the midst of a storm, the power struggle had not yet been decided, but they had already been the losers.

If they don't compromise quickly and agree on the choice of commanders, the three groups will have to make decisions for the king.

As soon as this kind of precedent was opened, it was undoubtedly the first step to open the king of the sky.

No one dares to guarantee whether the three parties will continue to unite and continue to empty the royal power.

There is a precedent for a similar picture on the continent of Aslant.

In front of us, it seems to be three groups, but in fact it is a complex complex of "you have me, I have you", and it has the basis for confluence by nature.

"Divide the troops into four routes, support the battlefield of the four countries at the same time, and send troops three days later.

The commander-in-chief candidate will be directly promoted, and Marshal Hudson will be responsible for the nomination! ”

Caesar IV said slowly.

In the face of the aggressive Alpha I, the only best option he could make was to divide his troops.

No matter how powerful Alpha I is, the four-way army can only choose to follow the army all the way, and the risk of infiltration can be minimized.

"Your Majesty, the stakes are high for this expedition, so the commander must have enough prestige.

I propose that the Duke of Beckett, the Duke of Richard, the Duke of Tous, and the Marquis of Zuel should each be the commanders of the Four Routes Army.

The kingdom dispatched eight standing legions and recruited thirty-two elite legions, which were directly divided into four to support the four countries at the same time.

For the sake of the strategic security of this trip, each army must be accompanied by a sufficient number of masters, in principle:

There is no less than one strong person in the Holy Domain;

There are no less than twenty eighth-order powerhouses, of which there are no less than seven magicians, and they can be replaced by other special professions.

……”

When the words landed, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

The four front-line commanders correspond to four of the five major families of the kingdom, except for those of the royal family.

It stands to reason that Hudson should not have made such a mistake.

However, after everyone secretly counted the generals of the royal family, they unexpectedly found that there was no one available!

The elite of the royal family was wiped out in the orc invasion, and the Marquis James was also defeated in the Continental War, and the royal officers who followed him were out.

The ensuing war was almost a one-man show for Hudson, the other officers did not have many opportunities to perform, and the reserve forces of the royal family were not able to fill the position in time.

In the Alpha Kingdom, which focuses on military exploits, there is no way to convince the people without enough military merits.

What the officers and men need is victory, and the appointment of generals purely for the sake of balance is bound to cause a backlash in the army.

As the boss of the military, Hudson naturally had to prioritize the interests of the military.

Caesar IV asked him to nominate him, and simply introduced four respected old foxes to silence all parties.

Throughout the wars they commanded independently, there were not many eye-catching victories, but there were no major defeats either.

The main focus of the whole process is stability, and all battles are directly competing with the enemy for hard power.

Occasionally, he suffered defeats, ran relatively fast, and his strength was relatively well preserved.

"Does anyone else disagree?"

Caesar IV's slightly unpleasant questioning was something that everyone could hear.

It's a pity that he knows that his military ability has been labeled as unreliable early.

The cronies were able to find reasons to oppose Hudson's nomination, but to get everyone to nominate according to the king's wishes, the crowd was instantly intimidated.

Political behavior needs to be responsible, and if the recommended general loses the battle, the recommender will also be implicated.

Unless it is a great aristocrat with a solid foundation, this kind of change can end his political life at once.

"Field Marshal Hudson, none of the four commanders of the army is from the royal family, if you think that there is no successor to the royal family, how about I occupy a seat on behalf of the royal family?"

Alpha I's sudden speech made the already tense atmosphere in the hall more and more solemn, and everyone's breathing became heavy.

"Your Majesty is serious, there are still many talents in the royal family, but for the time being, some experience is needed.

If Your Majesty does not dislike serving as the commander-in-chief himself, there is naturally no problem of being incompetent.

It's just that the matter spreads, and the outside world will think that there is no one in my Alpha Kingdom, and I still need you to come out and do it! ”
