Chapter 131: Political Battles
Orc camp.
"I just received the news that the enemy army has crossed the border in three ways and launched an invasion of the empire!
Except for the enemy army in the middle who hung the dragon and bear battle flag, it can be judged that Hudson led the troops, and the commanders of the other two enemy forces are unknown for the time being.
Judging from the information detected, the total strength of the enemy's dispatch this time should not be less than 2 million. ”
After the Eagle Emperor's words were finished, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became solemn.
The first reaction of many orcs is: impossible!
In the past, even in the defensive stage, the Alpha Kingdom had not mobilized so many troops at one time.
It's not that the high-level of the Alpha Kingdom doesn't want to, it's that its own national strength can't support it at all.
After a short period of distraction, everyone has to accept the reality.
The fact that the Alpha Kingdom in the past could not support such a large-scale mobilization does not mean that it cannot support it now.
From a purely financial point of view, the Alpha Kingdom does not seem to have changed much, and its fiscal revenue has increased by 30 percent compared to 20 years ago.
However, the territory, population, and grain output of the other side have undergone earth-shaking changes.
While the comprehensive national strength continued to increase, the enemy also moved logistics to the front line, greatly reducing transportation consumption.
These are public messages, and they will know when the Arfa takes action.
At one time, there were orc high-level leaders who proposed to send troops to destroy, but the prairie has not been peaceful in recent years.
The tentative dispatch did not do anything to the enemy, but under the revenge of the enemy, he caused his own heavy losses.
Compared with the orc army that crisscrossed the northern continent back then, forcing the enemy to only huddle in the castle and survive, these are completely two extremes.
"Eagle Emperor, maybe the enemy is not divided into three ways, but four ways.
The fall of the kingdom of God has caused heavy damage to the sea forces of various countries, but the enemy still has the power to transport an army from the sea.
Back then, Hudson had attacked the empire from the sea, and there was no reason to give up the advantage this time.
Coupled with those invaders from the Kingdom of God, we are actually besieged by the enemy from five directions! ”
The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor analyzed with a solemn expression.
The Alpha Kingdom, the Divine Invaders, and the Orc Empire have inherently irresolvable contradictions among the three parties.
In other words, they are invaders of the kingdom of God, and they will also choose to find ways to strengthen themselves in the process of the war between the two hostile forces.
The most direct operation is to take the opportunity to annex more orc tribes.
"Otherwise, find a way to join forces with those God invaders?"
The Boar King proposed.
The lesser of two evils!
Compared to the great enemy of the Alpha Kingdom, the strength of those invaders of the Kingdom of God is still much weaker.
If it weren't for the Alpha Kingdom's constant troubles, they would have crippled them now, even if they hadn't finished dealing with the invaders of the Kingdom of God.
Referring to other continental forces, we know that those invaders were quickly suppressed except for taking advantage of some advantages in the early stage.
The current treatment is equivalent to that of a cult organization, and it belongs to a street rat that does not see the light.
"If you're not afraid of being robbed of your body by those guys, you can try to cooperate with them, I can't accept it anyway!"
King Beamon was the first to object.
If it is an ordinary hostile force, it is indeed possible to cooperate once in the face of a more powerful enemy.
The invaders of the Kingdom of God are different, they are not simply invaded, but descended to the continent by invading the body.
With these guys, you have to worry about being taken by those demons at all times.
I am afraid that more energy is used to defend allies than it is used to fight enemies.
After a brief hesitation, a group of orc executives objected.
The invaders of the Kingdom of God are too mysterious, and it is really insecure to stay with these guys.
Perhaps because the suspense of the war has settled, or perhaps because the way to cooperate with the invaders of the Kingdom of God has been cut off, the orcs have a sense of relief in addition to being nervous.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
As a natural fighting race, there are belligerent genes flowing in their bones.
The enemy was menacing and did not intimidate them.
The Great Demon King is not easy to mess with, and there are several other Terran armies.
As long as you don't fight with the Great Demon King, everyone will have enough confidence.
……
Elven kingdom.
When the news of the outbreak of the Great War came, the Elven Court was also filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
The Split Land Project was postponed, forcing the Elves to participate in the war.
"The 300,000 troops of the Forest Elf Kingdom have all been assembled now, how are your preparations?"
The Forest Elf Queen asked.
The Alpha Kingdom launched a war against the Orc Empire, and the fuse of the continental "powder keg" was ignited, leaving only a split second before the explosion.
The letters of help and inquiries from the allies came like snowflakes, waiting for the elves to give a reply.
However, the elven clan is still in a state of co-governance of the three kingdoms, and the forest elf queen has the most right to speak, and she can only command her own army.
"Eldest sister, please rest assured, the Steppe Elf Kingdom has completed its mobilization, and the 200,000 army can attack at any time!"
"The Night Elf Kingdom has also completed its mobilization, and the 200,000 army is ready to go!"
After the steppe elf queen made a statement, the night elf queen also took a stand.
At other times, there can be different opinions, but now at such a critical moment, they are not allowed to drag their feet.
The 700,000 army of the three elven kingdoms is most of the elven clan.
It seems that there are not many of them, but it has the advantage that all races on the mainland are envious and jealous of-the Magician Regiment!
Out of every three elves, there will be a gifted magician, which is unmatched by other races.
As long as you don't die halfway, with a long lifespan, you can also have good strength.
Even if it is the continent overlord clan, the number of high-level magicians is not as large as that of the elf clan.
"Now that you're all ready, go to war with the Terrans!
The steppe elf kingdom attacked the kingdom of Hesse to the south, providing support to the dwarven kingdom within its capabilities.
If conditions allow, unite with our allies to take the Middle Continent.
The Night Elf Kingdom is responsible for the destruction of the Moxi Kingdom, and at the same time unites the Elder Relic Alliance to attack the western part of the Alpha Kingdom from the east.
The Forest Elf Kingdom launched an attack from the Korubia Kingdom, and after taking this area, it directly attacked the southwestern provinces of the Alpha Kingdom.
This war was provoked by the Alpha Person, and they made full preparations for this war in advance, and the Orc Empire is afraid that it will not last long.
Facing the threat of the countries of the Southern Continent, the situation in the Dwarven Kingdom is even worse.
Unlike any previous continental war, now we need to race against the enemy for time.
The enemy's breakthrough along the way may lead to the collapse of the battle, and the situation does not allow us to delay! ”
The Forest Elf Queen warned with a serious expression.
As paddling champions, elves have a wealth of paddling experience.
In its treatment of war, it is far inferior to that of other continental races.
When the anti-Terran alliance had the upper hand, they were fishing and paddling, which was only a small problem.
It's a big deal to be scolded by your allies, and you won't lose a piece of meat, and preserving your strength is the king.
The current situation is different, if you continue to fish and paddle, the anti-Terran alliance will be cool.
Without the participation of their boss, the younger brother below alone would not be able to withstand the siege of the Terran countries.
"Sister, please rest assured, a mere Duchy of Moxi can't stop our troops at all.
If all goes well, we can besiege the Alpha Kingdom together in three months at most.
On the contrary, the Ancient Relic Alliance is in some trouble, they have not yet recovered from their losses in the last continental war, and they have been consumed by the civil war that has just ended.
The combat effectiveness of the troops that can be taken out now is worrying, and they can only follow the strong momentum.
It's better to mobilize some vassal races, follow the army to act, and be able to pick up the fish that slipped through the net! ”
The Night Elf Queen couldn't help but complain immediately.
The most important characteristic of the multi-racial alliance is internal chaos.
In terms of internal management, the Ancient Relic Clan has not yet caught up with the Orc Empire. The strength of the various ethnic groups is close. There is no way to pick a leader.
It seems to be taking a family of younger brothers, but it is actually acting with a group of younger brothers.
In addition to nominally bearing the name of the Alliance, the Elder Relic Alliance is completely loose within it.
If the strength of each ethnic group is strong, then it is just that, but they are all weak chickens.
"Just take care of it a little longer!
The political significance of the existence of the alliance of the ancient relics is far greater than the military significance.
No matter how much strength they have, this war must bring them.
The issue of transferring troops from vassal races is your internal affair, just decide for yourself! ”
The Forest Elf Queen said slowly.
Affected by the number of clansmen, if the elven kingdom wants to function normally, it has to absorb other races to join.
The elves did a very good job in this regard, and the vassals they selected were all hard-working races with little ambition.
In addition to these traits, the vassal races that cling to them have a common trait – difficult reproduction.
Even if the original fertility is not bad, after following the elves, the fertility will gradually deteriorate.
It will not slowly stabilize until it is unable to explode the number and threaten the rule of the elves.
The all-round gap ensures the stability of the elven kingdom. Even if there is a mess, it can be quickly extinguished.
The shortcomings are also very obvious, the perennial comfortable life, these vassal races are basically raised.
It's okay to rely on elves to engage in production, but they haven't touched this thing for many years.
Even these vassal races, there is no permanent army. The strongest armed forces are limited to the law and order guards.
In the past continental wars, these races participated in the war, and they were limited to following and engaging in logistics.
The elven army did not fight with all their might, and they had no chance to feel the cruelty of war.
More people die in accidents during transportation than on the battlefield.
This time the situation is different, the elven race needs to participate in the war in earnest, and the vassal race naturally cannot be idle.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a regular army, as long as the cultivators in the clan participate in the battle, you can still achieve your goal.
The biggest difference in the transcendent world is that the strong have the same good lethality on the battlefield without training.
An extra cannon fodder unit can not only reduce its own losses, but also weaken the strength of the vassal race, so as not to have undesirable thoughts after the war.
……
With the participation of the elven race, the continental war was suddenly pushed to a climax, and the Terran countries that originally wanted to wait and see the situation threw themselves into the war.
The Interracial Alliance cannot afford to lose a war, and neither can the Terrans.
If you win, there will be only one voice on the future continent of Aslante.
If the other races survive by chance, they must also be attached to the Terrans.
The game of race supremacy will come to an end in the hands of this generation, and a new era will begin.
If you lose, then everything is not discussed.
Don't say that you dominate the continent, even the current hegemony will be impacted.
The great cause of the human race to unify the continent has come to naught.
Kingdom of Hesse.
After so many years of following the Alpha Kingdom, they have gained a lot of benefits before, and now it is time to pay the price.
The stone people invaded on a large scale, and the Hesse Kingdom could still parry, and the elven army followed closely to kill, which was embarrassing people.
Upon receiving the news that the flames of war had been ignited, Alexander V almost fainted on the spot.
It's really too bullying, among the nine kingdoms of the human race, they are at the middle level.
Millions of stone human armies + hundreds of thousands of elven armies divided into two paths, this is a military force that the two Hessian kingdoms can't parry.
"At what point in the war readiness of various places, do you have the confidence to defend against the enemy outside the country?"
Hearing the king's question, the hall suddenly became silent.
In normal times, it is just enough to shout slogans, but now at times like this, no one dares to guarantee indiscriminately.
The strong enemy is menacing, and it is lucky to be able to survive the whole society in troubled times.
"Your Majesty, we have strengthened the defensive lines in various places.
The defenders are confident that they can hold off the Stoneman army, as for the elves...... The army ......"
After a while, Count Niklas still didn't dare to say what was in his heart.
The effect is the same.
Everyone is a smart person, and judging from the performance of the Minister of War, the military lacks confidence in defeating the elven army.
It has only been more than 10 years since the last continental war, and the main generals of the current military have all experienced the last war.
Having personally seen the terrifying elven army, he naturally knows the difference in strength between the two sides.
"That's it!
If you are not sure of victory, just say it.
Against the most elite elven army, no one in the whole continent dares to guarantee that they will win.
Come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, not to keep the enemy out of the country, and at least to ensure the safety of the core territory of the kingdom! ”
Alexander V retreated.
The implication is already very obvious, and the bottom line is to protect the country.
Anything that is achieved on top of that is an alpha.
Defeating the enemy army and playing the prestige of the Kingdom of Hesse in one fell swoop is just a political slogan used for propaganda.
"Your Majesty, the situation is not as bad as it seems.
Our strategic location, while important, is not worth the Elven main force pouring out.
The elven army was divided into two routes, and one of the troops was directed towards the Korubi Abel Kingdom, obviously heading towards the Alpha Kingdom behind.
The kingdom's strength is limited, and it can't afford to hold on to so much territory, so it needs to make trade-offs.
The Ministry of Military Affairs planned an orderly retreat from the country of Korubia and retreated to ......"
As soon as Count Niklas made his proposal, everyone hesitated.
In troubled times, there is certainly nothing wrong with preserving yourself first.
You can directly give up the territory and let the elf army pass, and it is difficult to explain it internally and externally.
Ethnic wars are brutal, and the loss of not only territory, but also millions of people in the country, has been abandoned.
Once it is put into action, domestic public opinion will not show mercy.
The external pressure is also not small, and the Alpha Kingdom is not easy to mess with. I can't take care of them now, and I will settle accounts in the future.
What's more, there are also worship groups sent by the Terran Alliance, who are also watching from the sidelines.
In case things get bigger, a hat of "fear of alien races and passive resistance" will fall on their heads.
It doesn't sound serious, but for the nobles of the kingdom, with this kind of infamy on their backs, everyone doesn't need to mix in the aristocratic circle.
If the Terran Alliance wants to make an example of the monkeys, it may directly exterminate them from the country legally.
At that point, the king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, and the nobles are reduced to commoners, which is much worse than death.
"Your Excellency, this matter is not tied!
In any case, we have to fight a war in the country of Korubia, and we have fought hard enough.
Retreat without a fight, the spitting stars inside and outside can drown us directly!
The time has come to test the achievements of the Kingdom's military reform, and I believe that the military can work miracles.
If we were lucky enough to hold on to the kingdom of Korubia for a year, or even just half a year, it would be enough for the kingdom to leap to the top of the continent's powers. ”
The Prime Minister, Duke Milton, immediately vetoed.
The war for the defense of Korubia cannot be fought militarily, but it must be fought politically.
If you don't pay enough price, you won't be able to get out at all.
The words that boost morale in the back are purely painting cakes.
If you invest in the country, maybe there is still some hope.
But now that the wolf smoke is everywhere, the old enemy of the Stone People has restrained a large number of their troops, and the border that the kingdom needs to defend is very long.
If the enemy wants to attack the country of Korubia, it does not mean that the rest of the country is safe, and the other elven army is not idle.
"Prime Minister, the kingdom has a limited number of mobile troops, and at most ten more legions will be sent over for reinforcements.
If you want to play our prestige, then you can only give death orders to the local nobles and fight the enemy to the end! ”
Count Niklas said with a slight hesitation.
As the spoils of the last expansion of the kingdom, most of the nobles who were canonized to the kingdom of Korubia were the sons of the kingdom's magnates.
To give such an order is undoubtedly to give them up directly.
"In war, someone always needs to shed blood.
How can some people who are not dead prove that we have done our best!
There is no need to rush to refute, this is the first time that the elven army has been fully mobilized at the beginning of the war.
Just think about how tragic the subsequent war was.
The sacrifice now is just the beginning.
If necessary, I can also be added to the list of future casualties, as the prime minister! ”
After Duke Milton's words were finished, everyone who originally wanted to oppose fell silent at once.
Having said that, if you oppose it, you will ignore the overall situation.
