Chapter 90: Borrowing the topic to play

The battle line completely collapsed, and the desperate high-level demon crocodiles chose to flee for their lives. The laws of survival in Inner Earth tell them that there is only hope if they survive!

The chase and escape war was staged again, and the bloody slaughter unfolded on the plains. Blood stained the ground red, and corpses raised the ground.

As the commander-in-chief, Hudson immediately withdrew from the battlefield after the overall situation was decided, standing in the sky and looking down on the earth.

The tragic battlefield made him frown, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart.

The number one general on the mainland hates war, and if this news is passed on, the various ethnic groups will definitely not be convinced.

In terms of combat performance, in the entire history of the Aslant continent, there are few people who can surpass Hudson in the number of kills.

Totaling all the battles, Hudson's army annihilated at least six or seven million enemies.

A hero in the eyes of the human race, a butcher and a demon king in the eyes of the alien race.

In the outside world, Hudson has always appeared as a strong hawk, and he was not charged as a "war criminal" and became a public enemy of the mainland, all because the Terran is now the hegemon.

Witnessing the alternation of life and death, and feeling the cruelty of war, Hudson's law of fate unconsciously took a small step forward.

Immersed in the sea of laws, Hudson forgot that he was still on the battlefield and could no longer care about paying attention to the changes in the outside world.

Maxime and Bear Stearns were like two door gods, protecting Hudson to the death, forbidding anyone to approach him.

The sudden change made the strong men of the human race who participated in the war very envious and jealous, and then they were endlessly sad.

It turns out that people are really different.

They worked hard and practiced hard, and it was difficult for them to go further in the law, and Hudson had to be busy with worldly things, and he could improve his strength by going out to fight casually.

Especially the eighth-order powerhouses, they are even more envious. If they had this comprehension, they would have become the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm long ago.

As the minutes passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the battle came to an end. Seeing that Hudson was still in an epiphany, the two lieutenants automatically took over the command and presided over the aftermath.

At midnight, Hudson suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole temperament changed, and then he returned to normal.

"Thank you for your help in protecting the Dharma!"

Hudson said happily that although this comprehension did not directly break through the realm, the way forward was already clear.

If you continue to cultivate step by step, the breakthrough will be a matter of the next three to five years. With the long lifespan of a Sanctuary powerhouse, this little bit of time is nothing at all.

Referring to the cultivation situation of the powerhouses of the continent, every time most of the Sacred Domain powerhouses stepped forward to a realm, it took a hundred years.

If you are in a good mood, you will speak naturally and well.

Although there are no enemies here, everyone can spontaneously come over to help protect the Dharma, which is also enough to give him face.

"Marshal is polite, watching each other is the duty of the Terran Sanctuary!"

Hudson did not take his reply to the answer of Alfrex. It is true that the Terran Sanctuary has the obligation to watch over each other, but how to fulfill it depends on the individual.

Because the judging criteria are too vague, this obligation between the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm is not mandatory in essence!

Generally speaking, as long as it wasn't for the Holy Domain powerhouses killing each other, the alliance wouldn't care.

If the two sides have a personal enmity and fight in private, the alliance will also turn a blind eye and close an eye.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Hudson did not continue to be polite, but changed the topic and said, "Have the results been counted?" ”

The battle has certainly been won, and the key now lies in the results.

According to the original plan, it was supposed to cause trouble for the enemy to bleed first, and then after three or five days of tossing, then engage in a decisive battle with our enemy army.

Winning the war ahead of schedule means that there is no time to bleed the enemy and lose weight, and it is still difficult for the coalition forces to swallow a fat man in one bite.

"Marshal, in today's battle, we have killed a total of nearly 90,000 enemy officers and soldiers, including a number of high-ranking generals of the Demon Crocodile, as well as three enemy Sanctuaries and a number of eighth-order powerhouses.

It is expected that in the next few days, the number of enemy officers and men killed will gradually increase to 300,000.

……”

The Marquis of Simeone replied with great interest.

The army of demon crocodiles has been completely defeated, and the subsequent war is to beat the water dogs. Compared with a head-on battle, this kind of pursuit and defeat of the enemy's army is easier to achieve.

This was the case with the defeat of the Giant Foot Centipede before, and now the army of Demon Breakers will be no exception. However, this kind of pursuit can only consume the enemy's living force, and it is difficult to annihilate them all.

The Demon Crocodile is a race in the center of the earth, and the direction of their escape after the rout is completely determined by the soldiers, and there is no set goal at all.

This means that the escape route of the enemy soldiers is to draw a large circle centered on the battlefield. The more it spreads outward, the more difficult it will be to hunt it down.

Being able to leave more than half of the enemy army behind is already a great victory. This was determined by the strength of the coalition forces, and Hudson could not have surrounded the enemy with fewer troops.

Playing such a record is a miracle in itself. The only fly in the ointment is that the strong man who failed to completely annihilate the enemy army, the Demon Crocodile Sanctuary that slipped through the net, will be a big trouble in the future.

"Draft a good report, and by the way, mention the magic crystal cannon in the army of demon crocodiles. Most of these exotic products come from interracial alliances.

After finding evidence that the Stone People support the Demon Crocodile, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs put pressure on them, and if necessary, they can apply for the intervention of the Terran Alliance, so as to save these guys from taking in the remnants of the Inner Race! ”

Hudson ordered with a blank face.

The front-line commander arranges work for the royal government, or distributes tasks to foreign governments, and Hudson can do this kind of thing.

However, no one present objected. Other commanders would have been unlucky to look back if they did this, but Hudson had no worries about that.

After the fight, he patted his ass and left. No matter how fierce the political struggle in the Kingdom of Hesse is, no fool will burn it on his head.

The Giantfoot Centipede is gone, and the Demon Crocodile army is also defeated, but it does not mean that the war is over.

At this moment, the Kingdom of Hesse is still waiting for the coalition to finish fighting, and then go to other battlefields to help, let alone offend Hudson.

There is no need to deliberately oppose it, just a little passive slacking can make the Kingdom of Hesse suffer even more heavy losses.

……

In the vast darkness of the night, the Demon Crocodile King, who fled in a hurry, stopped in front of a mountain.

Without the drag of the army, they easily completed the feat of traveling two hundred miles a day, and they only needed to climb a few mountains to enter the territory of the stone people.

"Your Majesty, as long as we cross the border line of the Hesserians, we will be safe, you are ......"

Without waiting for the prime minister to finish speaking, the Demon Crocodile King shook his head bitterly:

"The Sacred Domain Venerable in the clan has all lost their traces, and we are the remnants of the defeated army, and we don't have much weight at all.

For the Stone Humans, we have lost our usefulness. If the Terrans put pressure, there's a good chance they'll sell us to the Terrans! ”

As a king, he knows very well the faces of the rulers of various tribes.

There is no eternal friendship between races, only unchanging interests.

In the past, the Stone People were able to give them courtesy, on the one hand, they wanted to exchange some specialties of the Inner World with them, and on the other hand, they wanted to weaken the Hessian Kingdom by their hands.

Now that the plan of the Stone People is complete, they, the partner, have unfortunately lost their pants.

The loser is not worthy of sympathy, he does not have enough strength in his hands, and it is humiliating himself to come to the door.

If he is a high-level of the Stone Race Clan, he will also choose to betray the Demon Crocodile Clan in exchange for easing the relationship with the Terran Clan.

As long as the Terran Alliance is not involved, at least for the next twenty or thirty years, the Hessian Kingdom will not be able to retaliate against them.

After fighting for such a long period of peaceful development, it is enough for the Stone People to digest the gains in the last continental war, and it is a high probability event that the strength will go further.

In addition to the race's self-interest, the attitude of the elves is also an important factor. There are all kinds of indications that those elves just want to use the hands of the inner race to consume the strength of the human race.

I have no interest in the elves who are desperate for the end and the human race, and their lives are too expensive to die.

If a chess piece has no use value, it is an abandoned piece!

After listening to the Demon Crocodile King's explanation, the faces of the high-ranking demon crocodiles became more and more ugly.

Pinning his life on the discipline of the stone people is obviously not the work of a wise man.

Referring to the previous deception in the process of cooperation between the two clans, everyone did not have any confidence in the discipline of the stone people.

"Your Majesty, the Stone People Race can't go now, and the territory of the other Inner Earth Races can't go. We've all been defeated, and I don't think they'll last long.

In a short period of time, there is no way to return to the inner world, so the only way to do this is to go into the mountains for a while.

There are many inaccessible mountain ranges in the Aslant continent, just choose a mountain range to dodge in, and you can avoid the pursuit of the human race! ”

Prime Minister Susilo suggested with a solemn expression.

It's easy to take shelter in the mountains, but the monsters in the mountains aren't vegetarians either. If you didn't die in the pursuit of the human race by a little accident, it is possible that you have added food to the monster.

At this moment, the resentment of the demon crocodiles against the powerhouses of the Holy Domain in the clan reached its peak again.

If they were there, it would not be difficult to protect the more than 100 demon crocodiles in this line.

This kind of thought, if the few remaining Sacred Domains of the Demon Crocodile Clan knew about it, they would definitely slap it in the face.

If you can beat the enemy, who wants to abandon your people and run away!

If they don't come back to join now, it's because they are all marked with souls. If you bring a group of people who are dragging their feet, it is because everyone is dying fast enough.

If you're not sure how wide the enemy's soul mark can feel, the best thing to do is to run as far as you can.

Other problems will be discussed when the troubles are solved. As for the thoughts of the people below, they were never in their consideration.

In the eyes of these clan pillars, only if they live, the Demon Crocodile Clan has hope.

The difference in concept, coupled with the asymmetry of information, has led to endless resentment in front of us.

"Okay, then let's go into the mountains!"

The Demon Crocodile King made a quick decision.

Fly separately when disaster comes!

The high-level could not protect themselves, and the matter of collecting the rout was directly given up by the Demon Crocodile King.

A small group of demon crocodile elites, entering the deep mountains and old forests infested by monsters, there is still the possibility of survival.

If you enter with a large army, the previous encounter with the Giantfoot Centipede in the Blackstone Mountains is the most typical negative teaching material.

……

Royal Palace of Hesse.

"Your Majesty, the time has come for a great counteroffensive!

Judging from the information fed back from various places, since the intervention of the Terran Alliance, the situation in various places has quickly stabilized.

Among them, the best performing Frankish Empire and Alpha Kingdom have already defeated the invading geocentric races, and are now clearing the remnants of their forces.

The internal war in the Kingdom of Ibya, which has now surrounded the enemy forces, has won only a few days.

Field Marshal Hudson won two great victories, and if nothing else, the fighting in the provinces of Pofield and Parma would soon be over.

When the time comes, we will arrange for several second-line corps to clear the remnants, and the coalition forces will become mobile forces in our hands, which can be put into other battlefields at any time.

If all goes well, the kingdom is expected to end the war in the next two to three months! ”

The Minister of War, Count Niklas, said with an excited expression.

But when the words landed, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Joint operations are destined to be indispensable to the issue of command. In the face of Hudson's pervert, which Hessian general dares to come out and compete for the position of coach?

After going around in a circle, in the end, the army of the Kingdom of Hesse still had to run to Hudson's command.

Judging from the actual results, his resolute opposition in front of him has become a joke.

seems to have taken care of the military's face, but in fact, it not only made trouble with a group of important ministers in the court, but also offended a group of local nobles who were in the midst of war.

The face of the aristocracy is very important, but the aristocracy values the lizi more. If they can quickly quell the war and reap the merits, they will not care who the coach is.

In a sense, the governors of the provinces would rather Hudson, an outsider, ascend to power than see a military strongman rise in the country.

Outsiders serve as coaches, and after making a fortune, they will leave. The military strongman who rises from within, that is going to share the cake.

Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also follow Hudson's example and lead everyone back from the mouth of the alien race, then everything is negotiable.

"Good job, keep up the good work!

Especially on the issue of military supplies, you all pay close attention to it, and the troops on the front line are urging supplies again.

Marshal Hudson is really good at fighting, and the speed of consumption of this material is also not too much! ”

Alexander V said with a smile.

It can be seen that his complaint is just to ease the atmosphere, and he is not really angry.

From the standpoint of the kingdom, no matter how quickly the supplies are consumed, as long as the war can be quickly ended, then everything is worth it.

Hudson led the troops with a lot of consumption, but he couldn't stand the high record of others. The strategic materials consumed are all used to kill the enemy, and on average, the materials consumed to kill an enemy soldier are less.

While people are spending money like water, they also save money for the royal government.

"Your Majesty, we have changed three quartermasters, and now this position has become a hot potato. If there is another replacement, I am afraid that no nobles will dare to take over in the future.

The quartermaster department really tried its best, and the logistics needs of the coalition forces were always put in the first gear, but they fought too fast and consumed a lot of supplies every day.

……”

Before Duke Milton could finish speaking, Alexander V interrupted forcefully: "I don't want to listen to this nonsense, what's the use of just changing quartermasters."

If you can't complete the task, then sit together. As we agreed with Marshal Hudson, we will directly check the military accounts, and all problems will be dealt with as collaborators! ”

If you can't deal with the problem, then deal with the people who are related to the problem. It is true that there are many interest groups involved in the munitions department, but they are not so big that they cannot be abandoned.

Once the charge of "collaborating with the enemy" is deducted, as long as it is involved, no matter how big the source is, it will be cold.

The change of three successive responsible persons seems to be the limited ability of the chief official, but in fact, it is the related households who are avoiding trouble.

Many second, third, and fourth generations who served in the quartermaster department were looking for connections and were transferred, so as to save them from being implicated in problems later.

Some people who are not long-sighted want to continue to reap the benefits, and they do have the courage to take over, but the important ministers in the court dare not let them go.

It's inevitable!

Any decaying kingdom has a bunch of moths inside, and the quartermaster department is just a microcosm of it.

If it is not for the attention of the upper echelons, it will not only be a problem of efficiency and high attrition, but also the quality of military supplies.

As an insider, Alexander V is obviously pretending to be confused, and wants to take the opportunity to make a big wave, and now he is just paving the way for the subsequent cleaning of the court.

Seeing the motives of their own king, the ministers tacitly chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Just fish out your own people, and keep the rest as pigs to slaughter.

Up to now, the Kingdom of Hesse is already in debt and urgently needs a sum of money to replenish its consumption.

The fattened quartermaster bureaucrats are the best prey, and it just so happens that these guys did not complete their tasks and handed over the charges themselves.
