Chapter 68, a sharp turn

"Marshal, Duke Ernst has sent a letter asking for help!"

Hudson's brow furrowed at the familiar yet unfamiliar name.

As a "businessman", it is essential to have a wide range of contacts. Although the two are not friends, they are also familiar.

As far as he could, Hudson didn't mind sending a favor.

The situation is clearly different now, the Demon Crocodile is entrenched in the provinces of Pofil and Parma, and has formed a confrontation with the defenders.

Originally, Hudson thought that the two sides were evenly matched, and even the Hesses still had the upper hand, but he never expected the reality to slap him in the face.

As the governor of the province of Parma, if he really had the initiative on the battlefield, the letter sent by the Duke of Ernst should have been a joint battle.

Knowing that the coalition forces would only be able to arrive in a few days, and hurriedly sending a letter asking for help, it was clear that the situation was on the verge of collapse.

After scanning the contents, Hudson handed the letter to Governor Pierce.

Whether or not the province of Palma fell was not so important to them, the guest army.

But they need to bear the serious consequences caused by this.

According to the original strategic concept, the Hessian defenders would hold back the Demon Crocodile, and the coalition could first deal with the Giant Foot Centipede and then turn back to clean up the Demon Crocodile.

Anyone can see such a simple tactic. The Demon Crocodile Clan, who didn't want to fall into strategic passivity, chose to take the initiative.

The defenders of the province of Parma could not support it, and the defenders of the province of Pofil, who were closest to them, were also too busy to take care of themselves, and the situation could even be said to be worse.

The army of the Giantfoot Centipede appears directly behind them, and it is possible to join forces with the Demon Crocodile Clan to flank them at any time.

If the defenders don't hold on, the coalition will have to face a two-race coalition army, and the total strength will directly exceed one million.

There is also a limit to defeating the strong with the weak, and when the disparity in strength between the two sides reaches a certain level, it is not something that can be made up for by simple tactical command.

"Marshal, this battle is not easy to fight!

The enemy had clearly hidden their strength before, and our arrival had put pressure on them, and it was only then that their family was revealed.

Once the defenders can't hold on, the odds of victory are indeed too low with the strength of the Light Alliance Army.

It stands to reason that the defenders of the two provinces have asked for help, and we should help.

How can you not quench your thirst from far away, even if you speed up the march, I am afraid that you may not be able to catch up with the big battle! ”

Listening to Governor Pierce's words, Governor Simeone frowned, although he did not explicitly refuse to rescue, but the meaning was similar.

Only the cavalry can rush over to participate in the battle in a short time, and the combat effectiveness is really strong, but the number is too small.

If you are a little careless, you will be entangled by the enemy, and if you don't do it, you will be wiped out.

Don't say that the two sides are just allies, even if they are their own people, they have to make trade-offs at this time.

"Your Excellency, as you said.

Once the defenders are gone, we will have to deal with the two races alone, and it will be difficult to get reinforcements anytime soon.

The situation will inevitably deteriorate further, and if it doesn't spur the interracial alliance, they will also take advantage of the fire to rob! ”

Governor Simeone tried to persuade him.

As a guest Governor Hudson and Pierce, he could let the defenders go unpunished, but Governor Simeone couldn't.

At this critical moment, if he doesn't do something, he won't be able to explain to the country when he turns back.

"Your Excellency Marquis, if you think that those defenders can be saved, then bring your own army to reinforce it!"

After Pierce's angry words, Governor Simeone's face turned blue with anger, as if anger burned in his chest.

It's a pity that no matter how good the performance is, the eye contact between the two still can't hide from Hudson's eyes.

I have to admit that the big nobles are all qualified actors. It seems that the two of them are making a lot of noise, but in fact, they are deliberately acting for outsiders.

Everyone knows that the probability of success in sending troops to rescue at this moment is very small, but the refusal cannot be said by Governor Simeone.

After all, he was mixed up in the kingdom of Hesse and had to be politically correct.

Governor Pierce jumped out to be a villain so quickly, and with Governor Simeone's acting, Hudson didn't expect it.

Considering that the two families are neighbors separated by a hundred-mile corridor, there must have been exchanges with each other, and it is also said that the relationship is close.

"Calm down, two of you!

Everyone is thinking about the battle situation, now is the stage of speaking freely, there is no need to hurt the harmony because of some differences! ”

Hudson took advantage of the situation to play the round.

This kind of drama is performed, and he has a toothache when he watches it. If they don't come out to stop it, the two can keep arguing.

The quarrel is over, and so is the topic.

Governor Simeone was very intrigued, and after the performance he sat in his seat and said nothing, as if he were angry.

After seeing this scene, the generals of the Hessian Kingdom were worried one by one.

The army is the most hierarchical place, and without the permission of the commander, these people have no right to speak at all.

Command fell silent, and Hudson picked up his teacup and savored it as if nothing had happened.

Beneath the calm exterior, there is endless sorrow.

The situation suddenly deteriorated, and he panicked. It's just that after many years of military career, Hudson's ability to resist pressure has long broken through the sky.

The current situation is indeed a bit troublesome, but it is still much better than when he first led the troops on the expedition.

At the very least, the command of the army is in his hands, and how to fight it can be decided in a word, and he can control his own destiny.

After drinking a cup of tea, Hudson said slowly: "Reply to the defenders in the two places, let them hold on, and the reinforcements will arrive as quickly as possible."

The original battle plan will remain unchanged, and we must not mess up our positions because of a single action by the enemy.

Pass the order, and increase the marching mission to fifty miles from tomorrow, so that the troops are ready! ”

I don't know what to do, but the best thing to do is to keep things the same.

On the battlefield, less tossing means making fewer mistakes.

Although the Giantfoot Centipede and the Demon Crocodile are both from the Inner Earth, there must be disputes where there are interests, and Hudson does not believe that they can cooperate closely.

The question of command alone can turn two races apart.

Because the same human race comes from different countries, there is a lot of estrangement within the coalition army.

If Hudson's prestige hadn't been high enough to suppress these contradictions, the coalition forces would never have been as quiet as they are now.

Referring to the past continental disputes, cross-racial joint operations, the final result is mostly 1+1<2.

……

The coalition forces chose to wait for the opportunity, and the defenders of the province of Pofil, who had been reduced to sandwich biscuits, were the first to pour blood mold.

In the face of the joint strangulation of the two races, the originally solid defense line was directly broken by a single stab.

The defenders were forced to abandon their outlying positions and retreat into several fortresses for a final resistance.

Under the sound of the magic crystal cannon of "booming ......", the bloody offensive and defensive battle kicked off.

The old enemy of the inner world has also completed a smooth meeting at this moment.

"Brother Centipede, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you want to kill me......"

The enthusiasm of the Demon Crocodile King really made the Centipede King unable to resist.

If the relationship between the two clans is good, it would be fine, but the problem is that they have been fighting with each other non-stop, and now they have brought a strong enemy to the Demon Crocodile Clan.

Under normal circumstances, the meeting on this occasion, without slapping the table and scolding the street on the spot, can be regarded as quality.

As soon as he came up, he called him a brother, obviously with other plans.

What broke the centipede king's heart even more: the roaring magic crystal cannon!

Originally, I thought that this was the exclusive domain of the overlord of the continent, but I didn't expect that a large amount of equipment was also carried out in the army of demon crocodiles.

Heavy weapons like the Magic Crystal Cannon can be obtained, so other weapons and equipment in the ground world are naturally not a problem.

The weapons of war that others have they don't have, this is the gap!

Coupled with the defeat in the previous two wars, a large number of troops were lost, and the military strength of the Giantfoot Centipede at this moment has lagged behind the Demon Crocodile Clan.

The imbalance in strength means that in the next cooperation between the two clans, the right to speak will be tilted towards the Demon Crocodile Clan.

In an instant, the Centipede King had insight into the motives of the Demon Crocodile King, no wonder he was so enthusiastic, it turned out that he wanted to take them as his junior brothers.

After reacting, the Centipede King was furious on the spot.

Everyone is a strong clan in the inner world, and they have fought against each other for thousands of years, why should they be the little brothers?

The centipede is too much!

But when the anger came to his mouth, the centipede king forcibly suppressed it again.

Now is not the time to turn their faces, in addition to joining forces with the enemy to fight against strong enemies, they are also worried about the geocentric passage in the hands of the Demon Crocodile Clan.

I have lost contact with my hometown for more than half a month, who knows what will happen below?

If contact cannot be restored in time, the foundation of the Giant Foot Centipede in the Inner World will collapse.

Even if you can gain a firm foothold in the continent of Aslanth, the foundation of the Inner World cannot be abandoned!

After all, there are abundant materials on the surface, but mineral resources cannot catch up with the inner world.

"Brother Crocodile, this... Younger brother... This time......"

After all, he has been in a high position for a long time, and his kung fu has long been zero. I wanted to climb along the pole, but the words became slurred again.

"Hahaha......

It's good that you can come over safely, the rest is in the past, and there is no need to take it to heart.

Our two races are from the Inner Earth, and now it is time to take a piece of the foundation from the Terrans, the overlord of the continent, and it is time to unite sincerely.

Everybody's looking ahead......"

After a warm greeting, the high-level leaders of the two clans opened a banquet for drinking and talking, and the scene was hot.

It's a pity that everything is an appearance, and when it comes to specific interests, the Demon Crocodile King is perfunctory every time.

The only benefit is that it borrowed the passage from the center of the earth, and got the permission of the Demon Crocodile King, but it is limited to no more than three centipedes.

The joining forces of each mind also brought together the strength of the two races, and the defenders of the province of Pofil became the biggest victim.

Perhaps in order to show each other's strength, neither clan has preserved its strength, and the fighting on the battlefield is extremely fierce.

A castle fell, followed by another, and a succession of bad news followed, and the morale of the defenders continued to be low.

If it weren't for the fact that the outside of the city were all aliens, it would have been difficult to survive the surrender, and the defenders would have collapsed long ago.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

"Protect the Governor!"

The guards reacted very quickly, jumping directly in front of Count Bobaka, and kept waving their weapons to block the enemy's arrow rain.

At the cost of the lives of a dozen of his guards, Count Bobacca finally retreated from the city walls.

However, the guards' particularly eye-catching behavior also exposed the identity of Count Bobacca.

Sensing the opportunity, the three Demon Crocodile Clan Sanctuary powerhouses suddenly made a move and came straight to Count Bobaka.

Sensing that something was wrong, the two Sacred Domain powerhouses in the city hurriedly intercepted them.

The moment they just fought, the cold sweat on the foreheads of the two of them came out directly, and in the blink of an eye, six more enemy soldiers were added to the battlefield, surrounding them from all sides.

"Conspiracy!"

It is obvious that Count Bobaka, who has patrolled the city defenses many times, has long been exposed to the eyes of the enemy, and he has not taken action for a long time, mainly because he wants to catch the two of them in the bait.

Sanctuary powerhouses are a valuable asset to any race, and under normal circumstances, they are very difficult to kill.

Before the arrival of the Giant Foot Centipede, the Demon Crocodile Clan had to take care of two fronts, and the two of them could still cope with it.

Now it's different, the enemy has increased reinforcements, and the number of strong people who can be used has skyrocketed.

The exception in front of the situation was that the enemy had set the trap early and waited for the two of them to jump.

They are all people who have lived for hundreds of years, and the reaction speed is quite fast in times of crisis. Without the slightest hesitation, the two quickly chose to break through separately.

The city is no longer able to take care of it, and the top priority is to save his life first.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and a centipede and a demon crocodile blocked their way.

"Despicable!"

The blonde old man scolded angrily.

In the previous battle, the Sacred Domain powerhouses sent by the Demon Crocodile Clan to confront him were all Sacred Domain First Order, so much so that he mistakenly thought that the strongest person in the enemy army was the First Order of the Sacred Domain.

The strongest of the geocentric races that invaded the continent before was basically the first order of the Sanctuary, and the races with the second order of the Sanctuary were all strong races of the geocentric world.

With the advantage of being a little higher than the realm, even if you can't beat the enemy, you can run away calmly.

It was this judgment that ruined the life of the blonde old man. It was obvious that he was a strong man in the same realm, and his personal strength was even one point stronger than him.

After a brief entanglement, the blonde old man had fallen under siege by four demon crocodiles.

His companions from the other side were in the same predicament, but the giant foot centipede besieging him.

"Haha......

Thank you for your compliment, we are very honored! ”

The Demon Crocodile Sanctuary led by him laughed and teased.

It's just funny to talk to them about it.

In the dark inner world where I have lived since I was a child, where there is any benevolence, righteousness and morality, and there are just the jungle.

Seeing this scene, the furious blonde old man immediately made a decision: since he is destined to die here today, then pull as many enemies as possible to support him!

After the idea of dying together, the blonde old man instantly became crazy in the battle, and he didn't care about being injured anymore.

Realizing that the enemy was desperate, the Demon Crocodile Sanctuary who participated in the siege became timid, lest he become an unlucky person who was pulled on his back.

"Die!"

……
