The elven army was assembled, which directly pulled the situation on the continent to a critical point.

Anyone with a little insight knows that a new round of continental war is about to break out.

The situation suddenly got out of control, and the most feared thing was not the igniter of the Alpha Kingdom, but the pond fish that were affected.

A series of unlucky eggs who were mixed in the middle, such as the Dwarven Kingdom, the Trolls, the Duchy of Moxi, the Hessian Kingdom, and the Dante Kingdom, were all broken down in their hearts at the moment.

The situation ahead is tense, and everyone still has a sense of luck.

The frequency of conflicts between the Alpha Kingdom and the orcs has always been high, and it is also expected that something will happen every once in a while.

All of a sudden, it will turn into a continental war, and all the forces involved in it are panicking at the moment.

Although more than ten years have passed since the end of the last continental war, everyone has not lived in peace in the last ten years.

The current military strength of some forces that have not developed smoothly has not even returned to the level before the last war.

Even if the reform is effective, it is still in the digestion stage at this time. It is still a long process to turn the dividends of reform into military strength.

There is no point in complaining, and in troubled times, the weak have no right to speak.

With the protection of the alliance comes the corresponding obligations.

When war comes, neither the Terran countries nor the major alien forces have the right to choose.

……

Emerald Palace.

The sudden deterioration of the situation on the mainland, coupled with the panic of the allies and their pleas for help, directly contributed to the convening of a new round of court councils.

Glancing at the gathered magnates of the kingdom, Caesar IV put down the stack of official documents in his hand.

"The performance of the elves was much more intense than we expected.

Keeping the orc empire should be their bottom line, which is in serious conflict with the kingdom's strategy.

The situation on the continent has reached a crossroads, and as long as we persist in implementing the strategy of destroying the Orc Empire, a new round of continental war will be inevitable.

The main reason for inviting you here today is to unify your position and discuss what to do next for the kingdom! ”

It is a matter of deliberation, but in fact it is clear to everyone that this is just a matter of procedure.

According to the original plan, the Alpha Kingdom was indeed not prepared to destroy the Orc Empire so quickly, but it could not resist the enemy and exposed his flaws.

Don't look at the recent years when the kingdom has pressed the orcs to fight, but everyone knows that destroying the orc empire and defeating the orc empire are completely different concepts.

It is not unheard of in history that the pressure of external enemies has led to internal unity.

The slogan of destroying the orcs is earth-shattering, and deep down in our hearts, everyone actually doesn't have much bottom, mainly supported by hatred.

It is clear to everyone that a united orc empire cannot be destroyed by the kingdom alone.

The invaders of the Kingdom of God have disrupted the Orc Empire, and the top brass of the kingdom is about to go crazy with joy.

With these guys stirring up behind their backs, no matter how much the orc races try to unite, it won't help.

If you don't take this opportunity to destroy the orcs, it will be intolerable.

"Your Majesty, directly mobilize the whole country!

The main offensive on the eastern front, and the main defense on the western and southern fronts.

The kingdom is not alone, and our allies will share the pressure from the rear.

The Dwarven Kingdom faces the countries of the Southern Continent directly, and it is still too busy to take care of itself, and it is simply powerless to intervene in our war with the orcs.

The Troll Clan, the Three-Eyed Clan, and the Stone Man Clan are cleaned up by the Three Kingdoms of the Middle Continent, and the Ancient Relic Alliance has the Moxi people to deal with, and the only ones who really have the strength to interfere are the Elven Clan.

Those rotten elves, immersed in art, can't extricate themselves, and the inefficiency is terrible.

If we're fast enough, we might be able to clean up the orc empire, and the elven army is still on the way! ”

Duke Richard's rhetoric is a bit exaggerated, but it also represents the voice of many nobles in the kingdom.

For the sake of this war, the kingdom did not hesitate to risk offending the countries and forcibly dragged the Terran Alliance into the water.

At such a great price, the battle will definitely be fought.

As for tackling the Orc Empire before the elven army attacks, it is pure dreaming.

Judging from the map, if the elven army wants to invade the kingdom, it must borrow from the Duchy of Moxi or the Kingdom of Hesse.

But the problem is in the middle, and there are only a few provinces.

As long as the two countries are not stupid, they will not concentrate their forces in these provinces and the elven army.

If nothing else, the two countries will symbolically resist and give an explanation to all parties, and then the passage will be opened.

There is nothing to blame, it is understandable for a country to make any move in order to survive.

The kingdom's expectation of allies is limited to containing the younger brother in the alien alliance, and if it can slow down the speed of the elven army, that is, it is excellent.

"Duke Richard is right, the situation has developed to this point, and the kingdom is already ready to send arrows.

Now that the enemy is already alert, I must speed up and catch them off guard! ”

After the Earl of Oran finished speaking, a group of new nobles followed suit.

As an emerging aristocratic group that relies on military merit to rise, it is born to be the most resolute main battle faction.

What's more, when the elven army is coming, the first to bear the pressure will only be the old nobles of the Western and Southern Fronts.

The north side is already icy and snowy, and the army is not suitable for traffic, and the east side is the main direction of attack of the kingdom, and the safety factor of their territory is directly full.

For the emerging nobles, it would be even more perfect if they could weaken the power of the old aristocratic camp while destroying the orc empire.

Of course, these thoughts will only be hidden in the depths of the heart, and everyone still has to be in the same boat on the surface.

After all, most of the new nobles came from the old aristocracy, and the broken bones were still connected to the tendons.

Everyone just has different interests, and it is far from the point of life and death.

Even if it is a political struggle, it is only to suppress the other side, and it has not really seen blood.

"Your Majesty, everyone has no objection, it's time for you to make a decision!"

Seeing that the scene was enthusiastic, the king did not take a stand for a long time, and Prime Minister Becket opened his mouth to remind.

He naturally knew the abacus of the emerging aristocracy, but as the spokesperson of the old aristocracy, Prime Minister Beckett was not worried.

Risks do exist, but high risks come with high returns.

The kingdom has been expanding into the savannah, benefiting most from the emerging nobility near the front.

The old aristocracy seems to have a lot of benefits, but because of the distance, it is difficult to rule directly, so it has to be split into the management of the family children.

Although the power of the family has grown, the control of the descendants over these branches has also weakened with the expansion of each other.

It is impossible for any great power to have only one voice within it, and the voice of the destruction of the orc empire is the mainstream, but the voice of southward expansion and westward expansion also exists.

If there is no ambition, the nobles of the southeastern provinces will not go it alone and take the Baili Corridor.

The existence of the "covenant" makes it impossible for these two voices to appear in the court, but existence is existence after all.

The continental war was undoubtedly the best chance to break the shackles.

Even if the allies let go of the road, the elves will not really be reassured, and there will definitely be a lot of slaughter, and there will definitely be a lot of no man's land.

If the Terran Alliance is defeated, then everything will be put to rest.

But if the Terran Alliance won a big victory, then the interests of the northern continent and the central continent must be redistributed.

The collapse of the kingdom or the destruction of the orc empire, and the attack of the elven army, are naturally qualified to go over and get a piece of the pie.

Once you've taken the first step, the follow-up is simple.

The great cause of revenge is completed, and the obsession of the kingdom's nobles to advance eastward is also gone, and occupying the prairie is the limit.

The remaining poor countryside could not arouse the desires of the nobles, and the strategic shift was logical.

If one day you fall out with your allies and start a war of annexation within the Terrans, it is not impossible.

Once there is no danger of aliens, the value of the Alliance's existence is gone.

Under the nature of the Terran infighting, it is difficult for this kind of organization to strongly restrain countries for a long time.

Either they will be reduced to the tools of the great powers, or they will disappear into the long river of history.

In either case, the ability to forcefully intervene in the decision-making of several major powers has been lost.

The era of the jungle will come in full swing.

There are so many ideas, and they are completely based on strength.

In recent years, the entire Alpha Kingdom has worked together to expand its military strength.

The old aristocrats who have the advantage of financial, manpower, and material resources are much thicker than those of the emerging aristocrats.

It is not an exaggeration that a wealthy county in the rear can top a province on the front line, and it even exceeds it.

With the support of this family background, everyone is not afraid of the imminent invasion of the elven army.

As the defending side, you only need to fight a war of attrition with the enemy and drag it until the elves can't bear the casualties.

The real trouble is the advantage of the elves in high-end power, but the kingdom is not alone, and there is the support of the Terran alliance behind it.

When it comes to the high-end power game, the worship group will naturally make a move.

I don't know if I can suppress the enemy, anyway, if I cooperate with the defenders to contain it, the problem is still not big.

"Good!"

"Field Marshal Hudson, immediately make a battle plan.

This time, we want the whole continent to know how powerful the kingdom is! ”

Caesar IV said, slapping the table.

With a "boom" sound, the sawdust directly split apart.

Seeing this scene, Hudson shook his head in his heart. The king of his own country pretended to be forced, and the meaning of forcible was too obvious.

The strong man's control of power is far more subtle than that.

After all, he is a silver knight who relies on resources to pile up, and he can't compare with what he kills on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the battle plan will be taken out in the shortest possible time!"

There is no doubt that the battle plan must have been made in advance.

From the moment the kingdom decided to go to war with the orcs, the Ministry of War was busy making battle plans.

There are hundreds of large and small battle plans, waiting for the kingdom's top management to finalize them.

was robbed, and the face of Duke Richard, the Minister of War, was slightly ugly, but he still didn't say anything after all.

When it comes to the future fate of the kingdom, face is worthless.

This is not the first time that power has been usurped. Similar situations often arose from time to time during the days of the former Minister of War.

Under the system in which the army owns the country, it has always been that whoever can fight has a high right to speak.

The court council is over, and the kingdom's war machine is in full swing.

Picking out a relatively conservative one from a number of plans, Hudson signed his name after a slight revision.

The western front and the southern front are right, just use the defense line to fight with the elves, and you can't risk going out to fight a decisive battle.

Allies or something, the kingdom can't take care of it at this time.

At the same time, the Alpha Kingdom had to go to war with two great clans.

In a sense, it's a big gamble.

Hudson was betting that the elves would not pay the price of vitality for the orcs to come to the rescue.

Won, the kingdom dominates the northern continent; Lost, the kingdom fell directly from the peak, and the old noble group suffered a heavy blow.

Fortunately, the high-ranking members of the kingdom didn't know what he really thought, otherwise they wouldn't be so optimistic.

Half of everyone's confidence at the moment comes from their own strength, and the other half is the kingdom's successive victories in recent years.

Several times in adversity, under the command of Hudson, completed the turnaround.

When assessing the strength of the kingdom, it is customary to count Hudson's command ability.

Maybe other countries are afraid of the elven army, but the nobles of the kingdom don't feel anything.

In the battle for the Warhammer Kingdom, the elven army was beaten by Hudson and suffered heavy losses.

After a burst of boasting by the aristocratic officers who returned from victory, everyone's fear of the elven army disappeared without a trace.

Many people have the impression that the combat power of the elven army is about equal to that of the elite of the kingdom. Even if it's stronger, it won't be too strong.

What is the level of their own elite, the big nobles know best. It is completely feasible to pile up an elite army several times the second and third line legions.

Calculating the data on paper, the military strength of the kingdom at this time is very terrifying.

The three million Tuntian soldiers who came back from the change of defense, and there are still three million Tuntian soldiers in the border areas, and if they pick up arms and match them, they are the third-line corps, and they can be transformed into the second-line corps after a few battles.

Combined with the kingdom's original military strength, this is a very terrifying number.

With soldiers in hand and grain in the warehouse, it is difficult not to burst confidence.

In the eyes of many nobles, the kingdom is already invincible, and the Frankish Empire, the Ibbean Kingdom, and the Elven Kingdom are all floating clouds.

At least in the War Department's battle plan, Hudson saw a strategic plan to attack on three fronts and wipe out the alien alliance in one fell swoop.

There is no doubt that the genius of making this kind of strategic plan is not dared to be used by Master Ha.

……

Deep in the savannah.

Princess Madeleine's party, who had completed a wave of blitzkrieg, did not return directly to the kingdom, but wandered around the savannah.

The management of the Orc Empire was already very chaotic, and after the outbreak of the Civil War, this chaos was even more serious.

The question of who is the invader is itself a mess, and it is not uncommon for rival tribes to frame each other.

After disguising themselves as orc adventurers, they killed a few unlucky people every now and then and threw them on the territory of rival tribes, which became their daily routine.

After provoking, they ran away, and what would happen next, they completely ignored it.

The havoc sparked a large-scale regional scuffle, which soon attracted the attention of the orc higher-ups.

At first, I thought it was an intruder doing something, but after a random killing, I finally found out that it was my own people who were fighting.

Realizing that something was wrong, the orc higher-ups quickly thought of the infiltrated Terran powerhouse.

The grassland is too vast, and using conventional methods, trying to pull out a few disguised human powerhouses is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Santiago Priest, please now.

At all costs, this group of infiltrators must be found! ”

Listening to the words of the Bear Emperor, Santiago's face was very ugly.

After staring at each other with the orc higher-in-command, he had to swallow back the words of refusal.

The number of soothsayers is scarce, and he is not the only one in the vast orc empire.

This drudgery fell on his head, in addition to the fact that the object to be predicted was not simple, the most important thing was that the fox clan was too weak.

The other soothsayers are all from big clans, and he is the best bully.

"Your Majesty, before we can perform divination, we must first determine whether Hudson is among them.

You know, the last time the empire ......"

In the middle of speaking, seeing everyone's ugly faces, the priest of Santiago hurriedly took back the following words.

The Great Demon King is not only a taboo in the military of the Empire, but also in the world of soothsayers.

At that time, Hudson led his troops to wreak havoc on the grasslands, and many soothsayers in the empire joined forces to peek into the future and set traps in advance.

As a result, as soon as the divination ritual was completed, they were collectively devoured and died, leaving no valid information at all.

After that, no soothsayer dared to peep into anything involving Hudson.

Originally, the sacrifice of Santiago, like countless orcs, gritted his teeth with hatred for the Great Demon King, but now he desperately hoped that Hudson would be among them, so that he could reasonably cancel this mission.

"The Santiago Sacrifice can rest assured that Hudson is definitely not among them.

A message came from the spies we had planted in the Alpha Kingdom, which had just finished a court meeting.

Hudson will not be absent from meetings at this level. ”

The Eagle Emperor's affirmative answer shattered Santiago's last illusions.

I would have known it would have been like this.

From the moment the Bear Man Emperor said "whatever it takes", he knew that he would be part of the price.

"Then set up the altar and start as soon as possible!

However, the enemy is a strong man in the Holy Realm after all, and my own strength is definitely not enough, I must have a helper. ”

The priest said in a low tone.

Knowing that the risk was huge, he still didn't have the capital to refuse.

If you take the risk of divination, you may die from backlash, but if you refuse to divination, you will definitely die.

And not only will he die, but even his clan will be unlucky.

"Rest assured, the divination team assisting you is waiting outside.

A tribute to the power of the backlash, we've got you covered! ”

Seeing that Santiago promised to come down, the Bear Emperor's tone was much more polite this time.

It's just that this is useless, and the danger of the mission will not be weakened in the slightest because of his politeness.

After nodding slightly, the priest of Santiago appeared outside the tent, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked at the soothsayers who were busy setting up the altar.

In recent days, in order to deal with the invaders of the Kingdom of God, the empire has sent away quite a few fortune tellers.

In the team in front of him, the children of the royal family appeared, and the situation was even more severe than he expected.

In Aslant, soothsayers are a tragic profession.

At the peak of their power, there was basically no work for them, as long as they cultivated with peace of mind.

Whenever they need to play, it's time for pathos. Often this is also the time when a family is in decline.

After the tedious ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, the sacrifice of Santiago began divination, and in an instant, a mouthful of blood spit out, and he instantly aged fifty years old.

"God ......"

As soon as he said a word, he was directly killed. The soothsayers who acted together were also killed and wounded.

Everything happened so suddenly, and the items that were prepared to defend against the backlash didn't have time to come in handy.

The sacrifice was so great, and only one word was gained, and the faces of the orc high-level were not good-looking.

"The sacrifice of Santiago left a divine word, and judging by his facial expressions, it is very likely that he is talking about a god.

The gods have fallen, and what appears at this time may be the remnants of the gods, or the remnants of the gods.

There is so little information that we can't pinpoint the exact location of the enemy. ”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor shook his head and said.

Fortunately, the gods have fallen, otherwise I would not even have had a chance to leave a word when I peeked into the information related to the gods.

Fallen gods are not terrible, but the power of the world in the hands of the gods is extraordinary.

"Wolf Emperor, in fact, there is another possibility, that is, the gods have been resurrected!

The gods are characters who have crossed the ages and will never die easily.

The sudden collective fall, without even struggling, is too abnormal. ”

The Eagle Emperor's speculation made the atmosphere at the scene more and more tense.

The information about the gods is very limited, and the memories are full of power and omnipotence.

Even if the fall of the gods dilutes this impression, the ingrained perception is that they are full of reverence for the gods.

"Impossible!

If the gods have not fallen, then why haven't the beast gods returned to the Empire?

With the help of our devout believers, we will definitely be able to help him get back to the top faster! ”

After saying this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the boar king's face.

It seems that the orc empire at this moment is really not suitable for the return of the beast god.

"Devout believers", that's just everyone's mantra.

From the moment the gods fell, the image of the omnipotent gods collapsed in everyone's minds.

If the beast god really returns, exposing his weak side, it is estimated that many orcs will have the idea of "he can take his place".

Once greed is born, it is only a matter of time before it is put into action.

I don't want to die in a daze, and before I have enough strength, I expose my identity, which is killing myself.

After all, not all gods have the power of calamity, and their appearance is feared by countless people.

The authority in the hands of more gods is not small, but everyone can see it.

If you understand it, you can find a way to deal with it.

……

When the orc leaders were confused, the situation in the border area suddenly calmed down.

The army of 100,000 people, who had been slaughtering in all directions, withdrew to the country ahead of schedule because of the sudden change in the situation on the mainland and Hudson's going out for a meeting.

In the barracks on the shore of Xueyue Lake, a large number of Tuntian soldiers were conscripted and took up weapons for final training.

A large number of troops are constantly gathering on the front line, and it is only necessary for the commander to give the order to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy.
