Blackstone Mountains, Hundred Mile Corridor.

The high-ranking members of the Giant Foot Centipede are gathering together to discuss the aftermath, and the centipede soldiers guarding outside are also worried.

In the first battle to enter the surface world, he lost a clean, and everyone knows that the future prospects of the race are worrying.

"This defeat is mainly my responsibility.

Rushing to attack before the enemy's strength was known was the core cause of the defeat.

However, more important than the failure of the review is the strength shown by the enemy! ”

Marshal Centipede was the first to speak.

The decision to attack is made by the clan, but it is he who is responsible for directing the battle, and the responsibility for defeat must be carried on his back, but he cannot carry it all on his shoulder, which requires political wisdom.

"Marshal Howell, it was our joint decision to test the Alpha Kingdom, and the responsibility for the defeat should be borne by us.

The main reason for the defeat of this war is that we are too proud and take it for granted that the strength of the divided Terran kingdom is not enough to fear.

The terrestrial world is different from the inner world, and many of the previous concepts are not applicable here.

In the Inner World, although our Giantfoot Centipede clan is not a top clan, at least it can be ranked in the top ten.

The difference in strength between the various clans is not huge, even if we meet a few top clans, we have a certain amount of self-preservation.

The continent of Aslant is different, and the major forces here are even more divided.

It's just a kingdom in the Terran world, and they all have the strength to match our race, or even surpass our race.

It is enough to suffer a loss and be fooled once, and the next priority is to find out the situation of the major forces on the mainland as soon as possible! ”

The Centipede King said with a serious face.

Victory is the easiest way to get lost, and the success of the Inner World in recent years has made the Giantfoot Centipede lose their sense of crisis.

Including himself, he also indulged in the glory of victory. This battle was lost miserably, but it also woke up the lost Giantfoot Centipede clan.

"Your Majesty, although we have suffered defeat, we have also captured several nobles of the human world.

From their mouths, they initially figured out the distribution of power in the Aslant continent, but unfortunately the status of these guys is not high, and the information they know is on the surface.

From the information obtained from the captives, it can be concluded that the failure of this attack was not at all wronged!

The southeastern province is relatively remote in terms of geographical location, but this province is the province with the strongest overall strength in the Alpha Kingdom.

There are two great nobles entrenched here, namely the deep-rooted Dalton family and the newly rising Coslow family.

Especially the Coslow family, this generation gave birth to a great great man, the dragon knight who appeared that night.

It is said that this person has shown extraordinary talent since birth, and he has been favored by fate all the way in the process of growing up.

The first time he led his troops to quell the rebellion, he won the favor of the Earth Bear; During the expedition to the Orc Empire, he was recognized by the dragon again.

Hudson himself was gifted with extraordinary talent, and was the youngest Sanctuary in the continent of Aslanth.

In addition to luck and cultivation talent, the most powerful thing about this person is to fight with soldiers.

Since his debut, no matter how strong the enemy is, he has been able to win a big victory.

The classic battles he commanded were collected by the major forces on the mainland and compiled into teaching materials for the training of future generations.

It is said that ten years ago, the southeastern province was only a rich province of the Alpha Kingdom, and its military strength was only at the middle and lower level of many provinces in the kingdom.

The situation continued until the rise of Hudson, and the military power of the southeastern provinces, or the entire Alpha Kingdom, increased dramatically.

In the end, under the leadership of Hudson, three major battles were launched, defeating the powerful enemy Orc Empire, and the kingdom's territory directly doubled.

He himself was awarded the Terran Marshal by the Terran Alliance for his many victories in defeating the alien race, and he is now the only Marshal who can be recognized by the Terran Race!

There are many more legends about Hudson, which cannot be explained in a few words.

Now he is recognized by the titles: the strongest man in the continent, the first commander in the continent, and the first magic pharmacist in the continent.

In the last battle, the enemy's eighth-order powerhouse was able to hold back our Sanctuary by taking the magic potion he refined.

Even if the energy in the body is exhausted, it can recover instantly after taking the medicine with almost no side effects!

……”

After listening to Marshal Howell's explanation, all the centipede high-ranking officials were dumbfounded.

Myths and stories sound good, but if it happens to you, it's terrible.

If Hudson really had the captive to confess his words, the future of the Giantfoot Centipede would be bleak.

"Impossible!

Marshal Howell, so many things all happened to one person, it's so fake!

The path of the strong requires penance, and the magic apothecary also needs a lot of time to precipitate.

Taking into account these two, he is still the first general in the mainland, which is too magical.

Shouldn't it be his victory, it was all killed by himself?

Hudson himself is a Sanctuary powerhouse, and he also has an artifact blessing in his hand, plus the help of the Dragon King and the Bear King, which is enough to affect the victory or defeat of the local battlefield! ”

The white-bearded old man on the side immediately questioned.

Centipedes always prefer to believe in what is within their own cognition, and everything that is beyond their cognition is heretical.

In fact, Hudson's legendary story can be widely accepted by all ethnic groups in the mainland, which is also the result of step-by-step foreshadowing.

Progressing again and again, in the end, moisturizing things silently became a legend.

The greatest advantage of success is that as soon as a person stands on the ground, the enemy will tremble; As soon as the banner is erected in the middle of the camp, the morale of the enemy will be low.

Especially in the prairie, as long as they saw the dragon and bear battle flag, the orc tribe immediately fled.

The Giantfoot Centipedes were unaffected, and that was because they didn't know who Hudson was.

If you really have heard these legends, the next time the two armies meet, the morale will automatically -1.

"Prime Minister Jawat, I hope this is fake, but after interrogating a number of prisoners, the final result is the same.

What I said is already relatively objective and has a factual basis.

The legend of Hudson is actually much more exaggerated than that.

You're not on the battlefield and you can't feel the influence of this person in the military.

We had been fighting the enemy for hours that night, and the soldiers on both sides were very tired and supported by willpower.

As a result, as soon as Hudson appeared, the defenders, who had been tired soldiers, instantly resurrected with full blood, as if they were not tired.

I've witnessed the madness of the Terran soldiers' charge, and once I've experienced that scene, no one will want to come back a second time! ”

Howell said with palpitations.

In the Inner World, he has also seen a lot of crazy scenes, but they are all controlled by evil magic.

This time it's different!

The defenders' frantic counterattack was completely convinced that they would win. What is in front of them is no longer the enemy, but the battle exploits that are waiting for them to harvest.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more solemn, and unfortunately kicked the biggest iron plate, and this luck was not ready to make them happy.

With a simple loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the Giantfoot Centipede can still accept it, the key is that this wave of losses is all elite.

In particular, the loss of high-end combat power cannot be made up for in a short period of time.

In the follow-up counterattack, everyone couldn't even give birth to this idea.

In front of me, I didn't know that I hit the iron plate, but now I know that it is an iron plate, and then I kick my foot up, which is really dead.

"Well, now the situation has changed, and the original plan has been cancelled directly.

Judging from the information we have gathered, our military strength is above that of the Southeastern Province, but this is only one province of the Alpha Kingdom!

In addition to this province, there are more than 40 provinces.

A country where all the people are soldiers, and they fight against foreign tribes all year round, how weak can other provinces be!

From now on, we will first take a defensive position on the northern front, and then wait for the situation on the mainland to change.

Although the Terrans are dominant, the other forces in the Aslant continent are not weak.

The entrance to the center of the earth is open, and it is the best opportunity for the anti-Terran alliance to launch a counterattack. Missing this time, they were left with a fate waiting to be swallowed up by the Terrans.

I thought of contacting the big clans in the surface world to seek support, and the anti-Terran camp in the Northern Continent is not weak, this is our best chance! ”

The centipede king's direct clap ended this controversy, but everyone's mood was still heavy.

The Giantfoot Centipede clan is also ill-fated, and finally came to the surface world, directly sandwiched between the two human kingdoms, and there are demonic beasts around.

As soon as he showed his tentacles to the outside world, he kicked the hardest iron plate.

If the previous temptation was not to go to the Alpha Kingdom, but to go south to the Hessian Kingdom, the current situation would definitely not be so bad.

……

Emerald Palace.

Caesar IV was lazily basking in the sun, and it was evident that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

The kingdom has added three entrances to the center of the earth at once, which should have been a trouble, but it can't stand the fast news coming.

It was only at night that I received the news that the southeastern province had been invaded by the geocentric race, and the next day I woke up from my sleep and received good news.

Reinforcements or anything, they didn't have time to send out, and the matter was settled.

The younger brothers are so capable, and it's easy to be the boss.

The question of the subsequent battle was directly ignored by Caesar IV.

If under the personal defense of his own marshal, he can still be broken through by the enemy, then the inner race of the earth is inevitably too terrifying!

There is no doubt that it is impossible for the barren inner world to raise such a strong dragon.

The powerhouses of the Sanctuary have all fallen on the battlefield, and if he wants to say that the enemy is not working hard, he will not believe it.

Judging from the data on the battle report, the enemy must have been hurt this time, and he will never be so aggressive next time.

The southeastern provinces did not need reinforcements, and the troubles of the kingdom were directly reduced by one-third, and the remaining two Caesar IV did not panic.

The kingdom's standing army has not been sent, but the nobles of the surrounding provinces have already sent reinforcements, and they will just wait for the battle report.

It's useless to worry about specific military commands, and the people below won't listen to them at all.

At first, Caesar IV was indignant, but over time he got used to it.

Relax your mind, and the world suddenly becomes a better place.

"Your Majesty, this is a new round of noble canonization lists, as well as the specific division of fiefdoms.

Both the military and the government have checked it, can you see if there is anything that needs to be changed? ”

The words of the Marquis del Delgado, the prime minister, sounded in his ears, and the new work was about to begin again, and Caesar IV stretched his waist and said, "Got it."

The information will be put here first, and I will approve it as soon as possible! ”

Both the military and the government have checked, but it is not a simple verification, but a compromise on the canonization list on behalf of the major powers of the kingdom.

Theoretically, the king had the power to push back in, but in practice Caesar IV could not change much.

It's okay to pick a few unpleasant ones to kick out, or add a few barely qualified cronies to go in, but if you have more, you're going to get into trouble.

In fact, Caesar IV did a very good job in the canonization of the nobility. Except for the occasional adjustment of the fiefdom position, there was almost no work.

Installing cronies doesn't even exist!

The front line is not the rear, and if you don't have the ability to pass, you just contribute to the enemy's achievements.

Even if he takes care of his cronies, it is only after he has made military exploits on the battlefield and proved his ability that Caesar IV dares to reuse.

"Your Majesty, in addition to canonizing noble lords, the current international situation has gradually changed.

There are more and more entrances to the center of the earth, as if someone has deliberately opened the seal and released these ugly guys.

It is said that someone has found the breath of an elven powerhouse near the entrance to the center of the earth, and it is suspected that it is the handiwork of the elves.

The alliance has been paying close attention, but unfortunately the number of Sacred Domain powerhouses in the clan is too small, and our territory is too large.

Even if there are elven sanctuaries going deeper, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet them, let alone leave them behind! ”

The Marquis of Omar's complaint made Caesar IV frown.

Many suspicious possibilities are the truth of the matter.

When it comes to understanding the Earth's Center Seal, there is no force in the entire continent that can compare to the elves, and most of the seals were completed by their ancestors.

From ancient times to the present, the inheritance of the elves has not changed, and it is not surprising to have the information of these seals in their hands.

Outsiders break the seal, and the movement is earth-shattering, and if they are the owners of these seals, it will be different.

It just so happens that the recent invasion of the geocentric race has all occurred in the territory of the human race, and the suspicion of the elven race is even greater.

The Terran Alliance only paid attention to it, not formed an investigation team, and it was estimated that it was also determined that the mastermind behind the scenes was the elves.

It was originally a hostile camp, and it was logical to have a black hand, so there was nothing to say at all.

"If the mastermind behind the scenes is the elven race, then it is not for nothing that the geocentric race and the alien race will join forces to fight against our human race.

Forget it, there's no need to delve into this kind of thing. Without proof, those elves wouldn't admit it at all.

The current situation is not suitable for war with the elves, so let's not make any extraneous troubles.

Write down the accounts for them first, and when our clan dominates the continent, we will slowly settle accounts with them! ”

Caesar IV said a little helplessly.

Among the many Terran nations, the Five Nations Alliance is the least likely to start a continental war now.

Once the Great War breaks out, the development momentum of the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be affected, and the other four countries will become the primary targets of the alien race because of their poor geographical location.

Even if the Terrans can win the final victory, the five-nation alliance on the front line will become a big loser because of the serious loss of its own strength.

If you don't want the situation to get out of control, you can only pretend to be confused first. Even if there is to be a war, it will have to be delayed until the troubles of the Inner Race are dealt with.

The problem now is that the five-nation alliance wants to stall for time, and the interracial alliance may not agree.

It is too tempting to unite the Inner Earth Race to drive the Terrans from their position as the overlord of the continent and redistribute the cake.
