Things did not go as Hudson had imagined, Caesar IV did not wait for his reply, but the situation of the Hessians stabilized first.

After a series of defeats, the nobles of Gutland finally fought for a breath and defeated the centipede army in the defense of the provincial capital.

The specific results were not announced, and the battle line was stabilized anyway. It turns out that the defense of the lair of the great nobles can still be trusted.

For a big country, as long as it stabilizes its position, everything will be easy to say about the future.

There are two sides to many things, and the deteriorating situation has also promoted the reform of the Kingdom of Hesse to a certain extent.

The Hessian aristocracy, feeling the pressure of survival, joined the ranks of expanding the armament war.

It's a little late to cram, but it's a hard work.

Theoretically, as long as you survive the embarrassment in the early stage, you can get back the future that you have lost now.

Hudson deeply despised this practice of not seeing the coffin and not shedding tears.

If a few years ago, the Hessian nobles had this enthusiasm, cult rebellion, demon plague, and invasion of the geocentric race would not have been a problem.

Referring to the neighboring Duchy of Moxi, the strength on paper is only half of that of the Hessian Kingdom, and the strength of the enemy facing it is almost the same, but the performance of the battlefield is reversed.

The battle of Moxi was indeed fierce, but except for the initial unpreparedness and a little loss, the latter basically had the upper hand.

The second invasion of the geocentric race broke out, and the Moses had just completed the national mobilization, and the overall performance was easy.

Of course, the reinforcements sent by the Alpha Kingdom also played an important role.

Judging from the feedback from various places, every reinforcement sent by the kingdom has blocked an intruder at an entrance for the allies.

No one is surprised by this kind of record. These reinforcements, in addition to the conscripted private army of the nobles, also had several standing legions.

The Principality of Moxi was able to hold on, not to mention the Alpha Kingdom, and it can be said that the situation in the Northern Continent is very good.

If nothing happens and there is no accident, ending the war before the beginning of spring next year is not too much of a problem.

The situation in the three countries of the Central Continent is slightly worse, and the main problem is the tight military strength caused by too much pressure on national defense.

In this regard, the three countries are at a congenital disadvantage!

On the surface, the alien races in the northern continent are stronger, but the orc empire has suffered heavy losses in front of it, and there is still intrigue inside.

The Ancient Relic Alliance is a group of small clans, and their family backgrounds are not thick. Since the last continental war, all races have chosen to recuperate, almost unconcerned.

The elven clan is still strong, but the Principality of Moxi is single enough, and he knows that he is not the opponent of the elves, and after feeling the tightness of the troops, he directly withdrew half of the soldiers and horses deployed on the elf line.

The number of troops on the front line was sharply reduced, and the defenders on the border became symbolic, and their main role was to arrest the slave hunters.

It doesn't matter whether the person is caught or not, the key is to make enough posture, and not let the slave catcher group bring the captured elves into the territory of the principality.

The pretending method is still effective, maybe the arrogant elves don't take the Moxies seriously, or maybe the elves are really peace-loving, and nothing major happens in the border area anyway.

……

In the Emerald Palace, after receiving a joint inquiry from Hudson and Governor Pierce, Caesar IV was secretly worried.

The truth he also wants to know, the problem is that although the royal family has entered the decision-making level, the representative in the alliance is Alpha I.

Behind the scenes of the Terran Alliance, a group of old guys were in control, and it was not surprising that Alpha I was among them, but the old ancestor was the good of someone else's family.

The ancestors of other big forces have long been ignorant of worldly matters, and even if they control power in the alliance, it is for the strategic needs of the human race.

Alpha I is different, after coming back and failing to compete for power, he directly played a game of evaporation in the world.

The continent of Aslant is so vast, the powerhouses of the Holy Domain don't want to show up, and no one wants to find it.

No one can find it, and it is even more unknown what political statements Alpha I made in the alliance on behalf of the kingdom.

However, these problems are internal contradictions in the royal family, and they belong to the family scandal and cannot be publicized.

The letter of inquiry in his hand was read over and over again, and Caesar IV also fell into deep doubt.

Because Hudson and Governor Pierce's speculation confirmed half of it, the Terran ancestors did sign a similar treaty with the foreign powerhouses in the overseas battle for a foothold that year.

It's just that the agreed category is not the whole human race, but themselves.

According to the terms of the contract, if the Terrans start a war against the aliens for no reason, they will unilaterally remain neutral.

There is no doubt that such unilateral commitments will certainly not be so willing. It's normal to want to regret it afterwards.

The inability of his own peak powerhouse to make a move undoubtedly put the Terran in a strategic passive state.

If you want to regain the strategic initiative without violating the contract, you can't do something.

It is entirely feasible to deliberately show weakness to the enemy and lure the enemy to take the bait.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is: why do these old antiques think that the Terrans will win?

If you win on the battlefield and completely destroy the alien alliance, then the loss will be worth it.

But once the battle situation is unfavorable, or unfortunately defeated, the consequences can be serious.

The mainland overlord has a solid family background, and he will not die if he loses once, but now he is in the period of 10,000 years of tribulation, and he may encounter uncertain dangers at any time.

Once defeated, it is very likely that the human race will follow in the footsteps of elves and orcs and lose the current hegemony of the continent.

With a mind full of questions, he kept wandering around the hall, and even the letters for help from the Hesseians were ignored by Caesar IV.

It is a matter of the rise and fall of the human race, the life and death of the kingdom, and he has to be cautious. As for the life and death of allies, it is necessary to lean back at such times.

After hesitating for a long time, Caesar IV commanded the maid: "Bring a pen and paper!" ”

The face of the royal family is important, but the unity of the kingdom is equally important. It's just that it's not discovered, since the window paper has been pierced, then it's just a showdown.

His intuition told him that once the speculation became a reality, the future of the kingdom would become uncertain again.

In troubled times, there must be a commander who can fight enough to better maintain the royal power.

……

Rutsia.

"The Alpha Kingdom has sent a diplomatic note, hoping that we can take action to calm the current chaos as soon as possible.

They have decided to take action, as long as the geocentric race in the country is wiped out, they will immediately send troops to reinforce the allies.

This approach is completely different from their previous performance in the alliance's secret meetings, what do you think? ”

Faced with the chaotic situation on the mainland, Charles III also felt the pressure.

As the host and the emperor of the continent's first power, the high-level meeting of the Terran Alliance naturally would not keep it secret from him.

The building near the water got the moon first, and the ministers in the court were also fortunate to know some secrets.

There is no doubt that not everyone supports the resolution of the alliance's top leaders, otherwise there would be no mixed gossip about true and false.

"Your Majesty, there is a message from within the Alpha Kingdom that it is said that the relationship between Caesar IV and Alpha I is very bad.

Previously, the two had a fierce power struggle, because the death of Alpha I and a duke was involved, which triggered a fierce backlash from the aristocratic group, and they were forced to choose to retire.

At present, it is still Alpha I who represents the Alpha Kingdom to enter the decision-making level, perhaps he has brought personal grievances into the decision-making of the Terrans.

The situation of the alliance of five countries is very dangerous, and in the current state of the Alpha Kingdom, it is really not suitable for waging a large-scale war. ”

The Marquis of Jesús replied calmly.

The Alpha Kingdom has always been in the first echelon of Frankish diplomatic work, and it is a key focus object, and intelligence collection is also ranked high.

In the past, the two families joined forces to fight the Holy See, but now it is due to the strength of the Alpha Kingdom itself.

It was precisely because he was aware of the internal power structure of the Alpha Kingdom that the Marquis of Jesús dared to assert that the previous statements of Alpha I in the secret meeting of the alliance could only represent his own position.

It's one thing to know, it's another to debunk. If it is not about their own interests, they are completely guilty of being evildoers.

Regardless of whose position it represents, the geographical location determines that once a major war breaks out, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be involved.

"Poor Caesar, meeting such an old ancestor is enough for him!

But Alpha I is really not afraid of tossing his kingdom away from it, or is the temptation of power already driving him crazy? ”

No one dared to answer the exclamation of Charles III.

This kind of topic involving royal power has always been the most sensitive. Other people's families have ancestors, and they are no exception.

The difference is that the Frankish Empire has existed for a longer time, the founding ancestors have long since hung up, and now only ordinary royals are returning.

To be precise, among the powerful people who returned to the Terrans, only Alpha I was the king.

This special background of the times determines that this round of power grabbing war belongs to the one-man show of the Alpha Kingdom.

Other returning powerhouses want to follow suit, but they can't find any legal basis, let alone supporters.

After sighing, Charles III glanced sympathetically at the north.

The political structure of the Alpha Kingdom is stable, and the prestige of Caesar IV is also good, and the only way to seize power and usurp the throne is in troubled times.

Provoking a continental war is undoubtedly the best option.

War will break the original established order and create an opportunity for the shuffling of power.

Theoretically, as long as Alpha I can seize the opportunity and pull up the team in the troubled times, he has the possibility of re-ascending.

"The Alpha Kingdom obviously doesn't want to participate, do we still want to continue with the previous plan?"

The strategic plan was set by the ancestors, but whether to implement it or not, the actual decision-making power is still in the hands of those in power.

If you don't want to do it, there are too many excuses to put things in the past.

"Your Majesty, this hastily launched war is in fact very irresponsible.

The ancestors did this, not simply for the benefit of the human race, but more out of their personal interests.

Although I don't know what will do them any good, there are all kinds of signs that there must be a deep plan behind this! ”

The Prime Minister, Duke Bergson, said worriedly.

Referring to the Sanctuary that has broken through in recent years, nine out of ten are ascetics, and they have long been free from secular power disputes.

It stands to reason that the ancestors who have been away from the world for more than 300 years will only be more disgusted with worldly disputes.

In normal times, when these juniors came to visit, they loved to ignore them, and they knew at a glance that they were people who were afraid of trouble.

"Then start both programs at the same time, and at the same time help countries end the war, and at the same time strengthen the preparation of the empire for war.

Even if someone can't bear it and directly provokes a big war, we can handle it! ”

Charles III said angrily.

As an emperor, he has always hated this kind of uncontrollable event.

However, this is an extraordinary world, and the strong are destined to have more privileges.

After staying at the peak for a long time, many strong people have developed a sense of déjà vu that they regard all beings as ants.

That kind of contempt from the heart is very uncomfortable. But these people in power are the best at figuring out people's hearts.

There is a huge disparity in strength, but playing tricks is not inferior to those old antiques.

It seems that they get along very well, but in fact, even if they are their own family, there is a gap between them.

Compared to these ordinary juniors, the ancestors preferred the juniors who had already broken through the Holy Domain, followed by the cultivation geniuses in the clan.

As if these people are their kind, and the rest are leftovers.

Even if you are the emperor, people are only symbolic to give face, and the essence is still "leftovers", and it is impossible to have no resentment in your heart for this kind of gap.

……

A similar scene took place in the Kingdom of Iraq.

It is also a duck to the shelves, and the top level of Libya, too, does not want to provoke a continental war if they are not ready.

It's just that the people who make the decision are their own ancestors, and they directly refuse to stiffen the relationship, and it will be troublesome when they need to shake people in the future.

Now that the Alpha Kingdom has jumped out against it, they are just pushing the boat with the flow.

Without the suppression of the three major powers, the representatives of various countries, who had long been impatient, launched motions one after another at the alliance meeting.

The resolution of the secret meeting, everyone tacitly pretended not to know, and they did not participate anyway.

On the surface, it is the Union Parliament that represents the highest power of the Union, and according to the provisions of the Union Parliament Act, as long as a certain number of members of the parliament reaches a certain number, they can initiate proposals.

In just a few days, the delegate of the troubled countries completed the concatenation, and more than 200 parliamentarians signed the motion.

It directly set a new record in the history of the Terran Alliance, and the largest proposal before that was only signed by more than 50 parliamentarians.

The number of participants in the proposal directly exceeds half of the seats of permanent Union members. It has created a strange landscape where the vote has not yet begun, and the proposal has been passed ahead of schedule.

The Bureau has the power to invoke the veto, but this proposal of unprecedented unity of positions by all parties itself represents the position of the three Powers.

As time passed, the meeting that decided the future fate of the mainland had entered the countdown.

The eyes of the continent are all focused on Lutesia, and all parties are waiting for the Terran Alliance to make a decision in order to formulate the next response.

Hudson, who was eating melons on the front line of the Blood Moon, did not know that one of his letters of inquiry helped Caesar IV make a decision, causing an uproar on the mainland.

Like countless people who eat melons, he is busy watching the excitement at the moment. The teleportation magic array rang every now and then, and new news came back every day.

Now the topic of discussion between him and Governor Pierce is no longer about the Hessian battlefield, but whether the old antiques of the Terrans will come out to interfere with the alliance's decisions.

"Marshal, if the elders of the alliance forcibly interfere with the decision-making of the council, how should we deal with ourselves?"

Governor Pierce couldn't help but ask.

At the moment he really had no bottom, and since he received the king's reply, his confidence had gone.

If the ancestors of the Terrans were like Alpha I, they directly bypassed the royal government and made decisions on their own behalf of all parties, which triggered the current fierce backlash, the consequences would be serious.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the situation should not be so bad!

Directly interfering with the decisions of the Coalition Council and ignoring the Coalition Code will make the credibility of the Terran Alliance lose its credibility as soon as it is opened.

This act of overturning the table is not good for anyone.

If the alliance really collapses and buries the continental hegemony of the Terrans, it will be even more difficult for their plan to be realized.

They are all old people, and they shouldn't be so impulsive. Even if this plan fails, they can wait for the next time.

The most serious consequence is nothing more than a few years of silence. When the countries recover, everyone will naturally cooperate with them.
