Chapter 69: The Offering Group

"The province of Pofil has fallen, the governor Count Bobaka has been killed in battle, and the lives and deaths of the two garrisoned Sanctuary powerhouses are unknown!"

As soon as the message was sent to the defenders to hold on, the next day they received bad news, and everyone in the headquarters suddenly became overwhelmed.

There is no need to dwell on the problem of rescue, the province of Pofil fell so quickly, and most of the defenders of the province of Palma could not hold out for a few days.

The generals were thinking about the battle situation, and the focus of the three commanders had shifted to the life and death of the two Sacred Domain powerhouses.

The Kingdom of Hesse has only declined in recent years, and three hundred years ago it was still the number one power of the human race, and there were not many top powerhouses.

In the case of a multi-front war, being able to invite two old antiques of the second order of the Holy Domain to sit in the province of Bofil is enough to explain the problem.

But there are many strong people, and they can't withstand such consumption.

The top powerhouse of a single race, Hudson is not intimidating. If he faced the two major races of more than a dozen Sacred Domain powerhouses joining forces, he would only have to run away.

This is still based on the lack of resources in the Inner World, and most of the enemies are first-order in the Holy Domain.

"The situation is very bad now, the strength of the defenders cannot be counted on, the total strength of the enemy is now four or five times more than ours, and the number of strong men is also several times ours.

In the next battle, everyone must be in good spirits and not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.

Marquis Simeone, immediately send the news back and ask His Majesty Alexander V to send reinforcements as soon as possible.

The army will not be able to arrive for a while, and the powerhouses of the Sanctuary must be in place immediately.

The two major races add up to more than a dozen Sanctuary, if you don't contain these people, the follow-up battle will be very troublesome! ”

Hudson said with a solemn expression.

The scarcity of the Sanctuary of the Aslant Continent is mainly due to the sequelae left by the elemental tides.

After three hundred years of faults, there was a comical scene where the second order of the Holy Domain had more people than the first order of the Holy Land.

After all, the lifespan of a Sacred Domain powerhouse is long enough, and the second order of the Sacred Domain can theoretically live for six hundred years.

Now it seems that there are quite a few strong people who have returned from overseas, and if they are spread over the period of six hundred years, they will suddenly become scarce.

The situation in the inner world is different, and they have also entered the trough of the elemental tide, but the dark element and earth element in their environment are obviously much richer than the surface world.

In the past three hundred years, the elemental concentration of the Aslant continent could not accommodate the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, but the Inner World could.

Hundreds of years of accumulation have come together, and the two clans have their current family background.

On average, it takes a race of decades to give birth to a Sacred Realm powerhouse. This proportion is not only not high, but pitifully low.

In contrast, the Terrans are more blessed in this regard. Although the probability of a breakthrough is lower than that of most aliens, it cannot support the large enough population base.

In many ethnic countries, the population base of a country is equivalent to a race of different races, and there may even be more.

Now there is a shortage of strong people, and that is because the time for the recovery of element concentrations is too short. After a few hundred years, the situation will definitely be very different.

"Don't worry, marshal, I'll send someone to urge you from the royal capital immediately!"

The Marquis of Simeone answered in one gulp.

The situation took a turn for the worse, making the situation of the coalition forces suddenly dangerous.

If it weren't for Hudson, the number one general on the mainland, the morale of the army would have been chaotic.

Frankly, asking Alexander V for help at this moment is not a good option.

If there is still strength left, the Kingdom of Hesse will not ask for help from its allies.

At present, if troops are to be deployed to support, the only way to do so is to use the standing army stationed on the border.

There is no doubt that this is a high-risk operation. If you are not careful, you will also attract the evil wolves of the Interracial Alliance.

If you don't want to take the risk, you have to ask for help again.

Ask for help from the Alpha Kingdom and ask for help from the Terran Alliance!

The final result is likely to be: the Alpha Kingdom has increased its troops, and the Terran Alliance has sent Sanctuary masters to support.

Don't look at the excitement of the war now, none of the old antiques in the Terran Alliance have moved.

Judging purely from the situation in the Middle and Northern Continents, the Interracial Alliance should have been involved in the war a long time ago.

There was no movement for a long time, but in essence, it was still shocked by the power of the Southern Continent of the Human Race.

The boss of the elves is reluctant to take the lead, and the other members of the alien alliance lack the confidence to start a war with the human race.

Especially the alien races sandwiched between the Southern Continent and the Central Continent did not dare to act rashly.

Unless they are sure to destroy the countries of the Central Continent and the Northern Continent before the Terran army of the Southern Continent is dispatched, they will be the next to be exterminated.

Even if the Alpha Kingdom still has to make a move in the end, the procedure still has to go. Selling favors must also be sold after others ask for help.

Maybe the favors between countries in the future are not valuable, but before the Terrans unify the continent, these favors are still valuable.

If you turn your face and don't recognize people, you will have a bad reputation, and the next time you encounter something, you will expect someone to help.

After a brief meeting, the news was blocked directly in the upper echelons of the coalition forces, and the army continued to advance as planned.

The more the situation deteriorates, the more it is necessary to show a strong side.

If they are strong, the enemy will not be able to figure out their true strength and will not dare to act rashly.

300,000 against one million enemies, a proper disadvantage in terms of troops, and high-end combat power is also at a disadvantage.

But if it is replaced by 300,000 elites, against the million army of the two clans, it will be a different situation.

……

Pofil Province, Headquarters of the Coalition of the Communes.

"Brother Demon Crocodile, we have completely taken down the province of Pofil, and the enemy army is still not panicked, and it is definitely the elite of the Alpha Kingdom!

If it had been replaced by the Hessian army, I am afraid that I would have been trembling with fright, and I would have turned around and ran away.

The enemy is menacing, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with! ”

The Centipede King said with a look of jealousy.

The previous defeat may have been a coincidence, but he had witnessed the confrontation between the two armies.

When the number of troops is small, the elite troops in the Giant Foot Centipede can still compete with the enemy.

Once the scale of the battlefield expands, the battle of equal forces is one-sided.

Especially those knights, they are regarded as a big problem by the Centipede King.

In the previous battles, half of their soldiers died tragically at the hands of these extraordinary troops.

Deep down, the Centipede King wanted to create a similar extraordinary cavalry more than once, but unfortunately in the end, he could only think about it.

The first problem that the cavalry has to solve is - mounts!

The Terrans can easily gather the war horses that the knights need, where can the Giant Foot Centipede find so many mounts suitable for their own race?

As for the more powerful Monster Legion, the Centipede King couldn't even think of it.

Just now in the Blackstone Mountains, he was beaten up by a group of demonic beasts, and he didn't have the courage to provoke the "big family" of demonic beasts again.

"Rest assured, I've studied Hudson's record, and he's the best at using intrigues.

Each of his military victories was to first seize the enemy's weakness and then take the opportunity to make arrangements.

We unfold according to the plan, and if we don't let him lead us by the nose, we won't have weaknesses to catch him.

When the enemy forces in the province of Palma are resolved, we will concentrate our superior forces and fight a decisive battle with him.

Brother Centipede, you and Hudson have fought many times, and you know the enemy's military rules best.

Now, I'm going to bother my brother to send troops to restrain them and delay their march! ”

The Demon Crocodile King said undoubtedly.

The front enthusiastically called the brothers, waiting for this moment.

Since he knew that Hudson was powerful, the drudgery of intercepting the coalition forces naturally had to be thrown to the "sad little brother".

"Big brother, you have to hurry up!

Hudson's use of troops is too vicious, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong after a long time. ”

The Centipede King's face changed dramatically.

As the weaker party in the cooperation, he has no confidence to refuse at all, so he can only choose to bow his head.

Even the title has changed from the previous "big brother" to "big brother", as if he has given in and taken over the identity of his little brother by default.

"Don't worry, your eldest brother knows the severity, and he won't make a mess on this issue!"

The Demon Crocodile King assured arrogantly.

Sincerely, hypocritically, as long as the centipede king is willing to lead the team to block the coalition led by Hudson, everything is easy to say.

The battle in the province of Palma has dragged on until now, and the main problem is that the defenders of the province of Porfil were desperate before, and finally gave them a ruthless blow.

Storming the city at a terrible cost, fighting in the streets and preparing to receive the fruits of victory, the enemy detonated a self-detonating magic circle hidden underground.

The entire city was razed to the ground, and not one of the hundreds of thousands of allied troops of the two clans who entered the city remained.

suffered a loss and realized that the great nobles of the human race were not easy to mess with. It's urgent, people can really play with their lives.

In the subsequent siege battle in the province of Parma, the army of demon crocodiles learned to be obedient at once.

Even if the fortress of the city is breached, the underground must be screened before daring to let the army enter the city.

After becoming cautious, the army of demon crocodiles was never attacked again, but at the cost of greatly reducing the siege speed.

Seeing that Hudson's coalition forces were approaching, there were still two cities in the province of Parma that had not been taken.

To fight against a famous general like Hudson, the Demon Crocodile King does not dare to leave himself with hidden dangers.

Even if the Hessian defenders in the city are only the last tens of thousands of remnants, they must first pull out the nails.

……

In the palace, since receiving the bad news from the front, all the Hessian high-ranking officials have become restless.

The Demon Crocodile Clan, who had been fighting with them for many days, actually hid their strength in front of them. If it weren't for the coalition approaching, they would have been able to hold on.

The war has started, and it is necessary to hide the strength, obviously with other plans.

It's uncomfortable enough to not understand the enemy's motives. The most troublesome thing is that they now look at each of the geocentric races, and they all feel that the other party is hiding their strength.

Try your best to tell them that it's impossible, but if you can't stand people, you just like to make up for your brain.

The more I thought about it, the tighter my brow wrinkled.

Pessimism is prevalent, and everyone can't help but think about the bad side of everything.

"When will the reinforcements from the Terran Alliance arrive?"

Alexander V asked expectantly.

I don't have enough confidence in my own strength, but I still have full confidence in the strength of the Terran Alliance.

The Terrans do not have a direct army, but the Terran Alliance has the strongest combat power of the Terrans - the Enshrinement Regiment!

The number of the worship group is not high, but the quality is not high. The entry threshold starts at the eighth level, and all the way up are the holy realm.

During the low tide period of the elemental tide, there was no strong person in the Holy Realm, and the presence of the worship group was not high.

With the return of many overseas powerhouses, the situation is suddenly different.

The current Terran worship group already has the strength to destroy some small and medium-sized races.

Most of the powerhouses of the Terran Sanctuary are members of the worship group.

This is further divided into: nominal worship and resident worship.

Except during the Continental War, nominal worship is usually almost unrestrained, and it does not enjoy the offerings of the Terran Alliance.

To reap the benefits of the Alliance, you need to make a contribution accordingly.

Resident offerings are different, they can enjoy a series of benefits provided by the Alliance, but they also have to perform the tasks assigned by the Alliance.

The nominal worship is basically subordinate to the major forces, and the resident worship is mostly from scattered cultivation and small and medium-sized forces.

In other words, the forces behind them have declined, and they can't support their daily cultivation needs.

The restoration of the foundation needs to be different from person to person.

Some strong people are obsessed with their families and countries and are willing to do their best to pay; Some strong people see through the red dust and have no feelings for the younger generations who have been separated by more than ten generations.

The former is still running for his family and country, and the latter has entered the Terran Alliance to devote himself to penance.

The Kingdom of Hesse is seeking support at this moment, just because it wants the alliance to send out the strongest people in the worship group.

"The Presidium has deliberated and decided to send the Seventh Enshrinement Brigade to support the Central Continent, and two of the detachments will be sent to the Kingdom.

The enshrinement regiment belongs to the top secret of the alliance, and the authority of our envoys to the alliance is insufficient, and the strength of the reinforcements is unknown for the time being. ”

The Marquis of Krasner replied with a depressed expression.

Reinforcements were all sent, and they had to continue to keep them secret, which really didn't make him understand.

However, this is the rule of the alliance, even if it is the Frankish Empire, the first power of the human race, it must be honestly obeyed.

"I have a general idea of the strength of the Seventh Enshrinement Brigade, and the two detachments supporting the province of Pofil and the province of Parma should not be a big problem.

It's all our fault that we are too light on the enemy, we should have asked the alliance for help a long time ago, and in order to save that sacrifice expense, we actually buried two Sanctuary seniors! ”

Alexander V couldn't help but sigh.

As a great power, the ministers of the Kingdom of Hesse did not have enough authority, but the king still had the right to know.

Although he didn't know all the family background of the worship group, he still knew something about the Seventh Brigade, which was active every day.

Previously, he would rather ask for help from the Alpha Kingdom than reach out to the Terran Alliance, mainly because once the worship group is dispatched, it will have to pay a price.

According to the rules set by the Alliance, the amount of money that the Kingdom needs to pay to the Alliance will be doubled in the next hundred years.

Since this rule was established, only the Alpha Kingdom has made an exception.

The main thing is that the Alpha Kingdom is in a special situation, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending against orcs.

Every few decades, the Terran Alliance would come to the rescue, and the cost would be incalculable.

As a poor ghost kingdom, the daily operating expenses of the alliance that have been shared are often in arrears in the Alpha Kingdom.

Generally speaking, as long as the orc invasion war breaks out, the alliance will not only take the initiative to forgive the debt, but also give another subsidy.

It can be said that in the past three hundred years, the Alpha Kingdom has been the largest gold-swallowing beast of the Terran Alliance.

No matter how much money you spend, you have to hold on!

The Alpha Kingdom blocked the orcs, and the foundation of the human race in the northern and central continents could be preserved, and the overlord of the continent could deserve its name.

This situation lasted until Hudson ascended to the throne and the Alpha Kingdom was able to deal with the threat of the Orc Empire, and the alliance put an end to this nightmare.

One exception is enough. The Kingdom of Hesse is not so strategically important that it does not enjoy that kind of benefits.

"Your Majesty, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, and you are also thinking about the kingdom.

The operating expenses of the alliance should account for three percent of the kingdom's financial revenue, and if it is doubled, it will become six percent.

Such a high percentage of the commission would be a very heavy burden on the kingdom's finances! ”

The Prime Minister, Duke Milton, spoke to persuade.

The sharing of the operating costs of the Terran Alliance has nothing to do with international standing and depends entirely on the revenues of each country.

The rules of the game are: those who have money pay more, and those who don't have money pay less.

Most of the time, the right to speak and the amount of contributions in the alliance are basically equal, and the military strength of the wealthy countries is usually stronger.

The Alpha Kingdom has once again become an exception, even if it is the third most powerful country of the Terrans, its own financial income is the lowest among the major kingdoms all year round.

There has been no controversy in this regard, after all, the current poverty of the Alpha Kingdom is caused by the hegemony of the guardian human race.

The three-point revenue sharing is already a burden on all countries, and the pressure will be even greater if it is increased to six points.

If you want to appeal, you can't do it, because if the Terran Alliance wants to maintain the hegemony of the Terran, it needs to spend a lot of money.

The enshrinement group came out to carry out the mission, and the alliance also had to be paid. This additional cost can only fall on the host country.

In the event of a war with an alien alliance, the two sides are fighting for continental supremacy, and the Hessian government can also apply for relief.

The situation is clearly different now, with only a few geocentric races, and the Terran Alliance does not see them as a threat at all.

The worst-case scenario is nothing more than that they will carve out a piece of land from the territory of the Terrans and establish their own country.

The continental hegemony is such a lofty thing, which is not something that a small clan like them is qualified to play with.

There is no minor trouble involving hegemonic disputes, that is the problem of each country itself, and the alliance is not everyone's nanny.

In essence, this is also to create a sense of crisis for the ruling classes of various countries, so as not to be arrogant and complacent.

The effect is very obvious, under this kind of Gu cultivation gameplay, no matter how bad the situation is, the comprehensive strength of the human race continues to grow.
