Chapter 67: A Plea for Help

The episode ended, and the army continued on its journey.

Along the way, Hudson's forces are also increasing, and he can't refuse it.

It's all a good thing done by a giant foot centipede, and the nobles who lost their territory in the war and need to make meritorious contributions are everywhere.

Not wanting to live incognito and live in a dark corner for the rest of their lives, Hudson became their lifesaver.

Losing territory is a felony, but they are excusable this time. The enemy was menacing, and the small and medium-sized nobles had no power to resist.

The world of the aristocracy is a society of human feelings, and if you follow a little military feats, things will pass after a little more operation.

The war is not over yet, the number of nobles killed in the Hessian Kingdom is already in the thousands, and the top management also needs to consider: the losses of the grassroots nobles are too heavy, which affects the stability of the rule.

Hudson didn't bother to get involved in the internal affairs of the allies, but he could still sell favors.

It can't be used as the main force, so it's good to use it as an auxiliary. With more cooperation, it is easier to get home advantage on the battlefield.

The army is advancing steadily and unhurriedly, and the giant-footed centipedes in front of them feel not good.

Recently, their morale has indeed recovered a lot, but thinking of the painful experience of fighting before, the centipede king himself has no bottom in his heart.

Stopping and fighting the enemy is indeed an option, but the risks are too great.

If the Terrans lose the battlefield, they can continue to call for reinforcements from the rear; If they suffer heavy losses, it will be a disaster of extermination.

The situation has developed so far, and the most important thing for the giant-footed centipedes is not how much territory to snatch from the Terrans, but to find a way to keep the race going.

"Your Majesty, the news has been verified, and the enemy has indeed caught up.

The number of troops is about 200,000 to 300,000, and all of them are hanging dragon and bear battle flags, so it should be that the Alpha Kingdom has increased its troops again.

Now the enemy is less than two hundred miles away from our position! ”

The army of the Aslant continent hangs the handsome flag when it goes out, and there is nothing wrong with judging the belonging of the army by the flag.

According to normal circumstances, even if it is a joint operation, all sides will hang their own flags.

It cannot be said that this kind of complete transfer of command and even the ability to put down one's own handsome flag is unique in the history of the mainland, but there are not many sincere records of it.

If it was just a flag, Marshal Howell would not have made a strategic miscalculation, the point is that these armies have been screened!

Compared to the Hessian Kingdom army they encountered before, the quality was obviously not of the same grade.

Hearing this news, the centipede king's face changed dramatically in an instant. Two hundred miles may not seem close, but that's just for ordinary troops.

For the elite and extraordinary troops, this distance is really nothing.

The Terrans are the overlords of the continent, and the Alpha Kingdom ranks among the top three among the Terrans, who knows how many families there are?

After seeing the strength of the aristocratic alliance of the southeastern provinces, the impression of the entire Alpha Kingdom was that it was powerful!

"Give the order to go down, throw away unnecessary baggage, throw away the worthless booty, and speed up the march.

Be sure to enter the province of Pofil within three days and join the Demon Crocodile Clan! ”

The Centipede King ordered decisively.

If you are not sure of the number of enemy troops, you should be sure to use a high estimate.

At the same time as making the decision, the Centipede King had already made up the picture of the main force of the 300,000 Alpha Kingdom killing him.

There is no doubt that such an enemy is enough to bring them the catastrophe of annihilation.

Even if they are lucky enough to win, they will lose a lot of money and lose the right to live on this land.

If you can't find an ally to help, whether the Demon Crocodile Clan wants to or not, they are forcibly designated as "allies" by the Centipede King.

Only the pursuers brought it over, and the Demon Crocodile Clan couldn't join forces with them if they didn't want to.

After all, in the eyes of the Terrans, there is no difference between the Demon Crocodile and the Giantfoot Centipede, both are invaders from the Inner World.

The dignity of the continental hegemon is inviolable, and it is impossible for the Terran countries to let these alien invaders go and claim the throne on their own territory.

……

The province of Pofil, the camp of the Demon Crocodile.

After passing the information to each other, a group of high-level officials, including the Demon Crocodile King, caught the giant-footed centipedes and scolded them for a while.

When they were in the Inner World, the Giantfoot Centipedes kept causing trouble for them, and they still couldn't escape this enemy in the surface world.

"Your Majesty, the situation has changed now, and our previous strategic plan is no longer feasible.

Judging from the information gathered, the Alpha Kingdom is much stronger than the Hessian Kingdom, and the strength of the two countries is not on the same level.

They were brought over by that group of hateful centipedes, and there was a big war in the future, and it was impossible to keep a low profile.

For today's plan, we can only speed up the pace of preparation and unite with the giant foot centipede to defeat this strong enemy! ”

Prime Minister Susilo said with a sigh.

With the support of the Alien Alliance, they were originally able to continue to expand into the outside world, but the shrewd Demon Crocodile Clan controlled their ambitions.

Maintaining the battle line only in the two provinces maintained a false balance with the enemy.

This kind of hidden strength play works very well, and successfully prevents them from becoming a bird.

Avoiding the key attack of the Hessian Kingdom, the Demon Crocodile Clan digested the territory while conducting diplomatic efforts to find an opportunity to join the anti-Terran alliance.

Theoretically, if this situation continues, the Demon Crocodile Clan will definitely be able to hold out until the end.

Even if they were to be defeated, it would be after the other geocentric races were cold, and the higher-ups of the Hessian Kingdom would only think about them.

If the anti-Terran alliance is dragged off the battlefield during this period and triggers a new round of continental war, they will also have a chance to gain a foothold on the mainland.

Full of calculations, how could the giant-footed centipedes be stirred, and they were instantly dragged into the limelight.

"Prime Minister, now that the situation is out of control, there is no need for me to delay on the battlefield.

Finish out the Hessian army besieging us first, and then go back and clean up those Alfa people!

If possible, that horde of abominable centipedes could not be spared.

Dare to calculate us like this, if we don't teach them a lesson, if it spreads, won't any race dare to come over and spread the wilderness in the future! ”

Marshal Kante said murderously.

Although the strategy formulated by the clan is good, it is not so friendly to them, the specific executors.

In the process of strategic stalemate, every time they fight the enemy, they have to think about controlling the rhythm of the battlefield.

It's not okay to lose, it's not okay to win, your hands and feet are tied.

After holding it for so long, he finally waited for the opportunity, and Marshal Kante also couldn't hold it back.

"Marshal, what are our chances of winning against the enemy?"

The Demon Crocodile King asked with concern.

The battle is definitely going to be fought, but the risks must be assessed before that.

They are confident in dealing with the Hessian Kingdom army in front of them, but when they encounter the mysterious number one general of the continent, no one dares to take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!

The Alpha Kingdom is indeed powerful, and Hudson is certainly powerful, but they did not have many troops this time.

As long as we are at war with him, we will be steady, and we will not give the enemy a chance, and no matter what Hudson can do, he will not be able to help us! ”

Marshal Kante said confidently.

Rong Ma fought for half his life, and he also defeated countless strong enemies before ascending to the throne of marshal.

For Hudson, who became famous at a young age, Marshal Kanter was indeed a little jealous, and he was also a little eager to try.

Challenging famous players and trampling them under their feet is the fastest way to become famous.

Compared with the famous Hudson, Marshal Kanter's prestige only spreads among some races in the inner world, and the races on the continent do not take him seriously at all.

Because of the release of water in front of them, including the Hesses who were fighting with them, they didn't take him seriously.

Of course, even if he released water, he expected the Terrans to proclaim his prestige for him.

As a constituent member of the continental hegemon, the Hesse also have their own arrogance. Unless he has a particularly awesome record, don't expect people to admit it.

At this moment, if you want to step on Hudson's position, personal success is only one aspect, and the other is for the sake of racial interests.

The elves refused to accept the Inner Earth race, and more importantly, they looked down on them, in addition to the hatred left over from ancient times.

Maybe the power of the entire Inner World combined, it is a force that can change the pattern of the continent, but the single race in it is the same thing.

This little military power in the hands of the Demon Crocodile Clan is at most a glance of the Elf Clan, but it is far from the point where it must be taken seriously.

But if on this basis, with an invincible commander, the weight is different.

The Anti-Terran Alliance has been losing in wars with the Terrans, not only because it is difficult to integrate internally, but also because it lacks a commander who can coordinate the overall situation.

This aspect is the shortcoming of the alliance, and it is also the shortcoming of the elves themselves. Because of the perennial peace, it is difficult for the elven generals to have the opportunity to practice.

"Marshal, since you have a plan, then go and implement it!

If possible, look for an opportunity to consume a portion of the Giantfoot Centipede's strength on the battlefield.

Our neighbor has always been ambitious, and now he dares to calculate us like this, if he doesn't teach them a lesson, there will be trouble later.

They themselves are not angry, and they have lost the geocentric passage, and it is very likely that they will attack our geocentric passage.

Be cautious when fighting the enemy, our allies are unreliable! ”

The Demon Crocodile King said earnestly.

The grievances between the Giant Foot Centipede Clan and the Demon Crocodile Clan can be traced back to many tens of thousands of years ago, and it has long been unclear which is right and which is wrong.

Because of the similar strength of the two races, and because there are other forces around them, they are fighting and making trouble in the inner world, but they still maintain a certain degree of restraint after all.

Now that he suddenly has to cooperate, the Demon Crocodile King is full of the "evil" of the Centipede King.

This deep-rooted cognition has long been deeply rooted in the bones, and it cannot be reversed in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty is right, those stinky centipedes are indeed hateful.

If I have the chance, I will let them know that the great crocodile clan is not to be provoked! ”

Marshal Kante replied in agreement.

……

"Boom ......"

The roaring magic crystal cannon rang out, and the ancient city of Palma became crumbling in the flames of war.

The once proud city defense magic array has long lost its due function under the attack of the enemy's demon-breaking spear.

The fortifications of the fortifications have appeared in multiple gaps under the attack of the enemy's magic crystal cannons.

In order to plug the gap, the Duke of Ernst even sent his own governor's guard, but this only solved the urgent need.

If you want to solve the problem, you can't complete the task by relying on the strength of the defenders alone.

At the beginning of the war, the Duke of Ernst only felt that his brain was not enough, and the enemy suddenly became rattling as if he had taken medicine.

If this ruthlessness had been shown earlier, the Parma City defense would have been finished long ago.

Taking advantage of the cessation of the artillery fire, Duke Ernst patrolled the city defense all the way, and couldn't help but greet the stone people in his heart.

If they hadn't sold so many advanced weapons to the Demon Crocodile, the defenders would definitely be in a much better position than they are now.

Sturdy and lightweight shields, sharp spears, magic cannons, crystal crossbows, magic scrolls......

The mainstream equipment on the continent has all appeared in the army of the Demon Crocodile Clan.

What angered Duke Ernst the most was a set of armor captured on the battlefield, which was a little stronger than the armor he wore and had a few points of defensive power.

You must know that his armor was ordered from the Dwarven Kingdom at a huge cost ten years ago.

Reality slapped him hard, and the dwarf who seemed to be honest and honest was also unambiguous in deceiving people.

At the beginning, in order to make him pay for it, he was promised: this is the most advanced armor on the mainland, adding extraterrestrial meteorites to enhance defense, and each set is a limited edition.

It is indeed a limited edition, but it is not the production volume that is limited, but the quality that is limited.

"Damn aliens, they all deserve to go to hell!

When I get through this catastrophe, every time the Terran Alliance Council convenes in the future, I will have to propose ......"

Perhaps because of the need to pay attention to the occasion, the Duke of Ernst complained so quietly that he could not be heard at all if he did not get close.

The voice can be small, but the accumulated anger is not much at all.

The family wealth accumulated over hundreds of years is now all set up on this line of defense, and there is a disaster of overturning if you are not careful.

"Good news, Lord Governor!

Information has come from the kingdom that a coalition of kingdoms and the alpha kingdom is coming to our side.

It is expected that in five days, we will arrive in the province of Phil, and we will arrive a little later by two days.

However, this time with Field Marshal Hudson himself as the commander of the army, as long as the coalition forces approached the province of Duffel, the enemy's good days were over.

The city of Palma is saved! ”

Viscount Carman, the military officer, said happily.

Many letters asking for help have been sent, but there are too many places to reach out to the royal government for reinforcements, and there are too few mobile troops that the government can send.

So much so that most of the time, the result of the feedback is: "Wait first, send reinforcements as soon as possible!" ”

As for how long this will be as soon as possible, then no one knows. Anyway, except for the support of some noble private armies from neighboring provinces, they didn't see the main force of the kingdom.

Upon hearing the good news, Duke Ernst was first overjoyed, and then his face turned ugly again.

No wonder the enemy suddenly launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties, it turned out that he knew that their reinforcements were approaching and wanted to clear the field in advance!

This is not good news for Palma City.

Reinforcements are available, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near. If you want to get support, you have to be able to hold on until that day.

The enemy's current offensive has already shaken the foundation of the city's defense, and if it continues to attack like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold out for three days.

"Send someone to contact Field Marshal Hudson immediately, inform him of the situation we are facing, and ask him to speed up!"

Duke Ernst ordered with a serious face.
