king.

Chapter 163

The Principality of Moxi watched the Alpha Kingdom fight fiercely, but there were only a few scattered orc tribes attacking from their own side.

Looking at the good news that the frontline defenders kept sending, Chris IX always felt a little unreal.

It really went so smoothly. In the past, when the orcs came to rob, there was more movement than now.

No one likes to be beaten. It is a good thing after all that the main attack direction is not on your side.

"Order the defenders on the front line to be on strict alert and not to attack without authorization.

Send people to keep an eye on the movement of the main force of the orcs, and be careful that the enemy will suddenly change the direction of the main attack with a feint shot. "

As the weakest family among the Three Kingdoms.As a reminder to the Alpha Kingdom, Chris IX dare not take it lightly.

If the army of orcs suddenly turned their guns and hit them hard, the Principality of Moxi might directly become history.

Although it has been operating in the north for decades, it still cannot compare with the Alpha Kingdom in terms of defense capabilities.

The aristocratic lords of the Principality of Moxi are not the nail households in the Alpha Kingdom who have been hammered by the orcs for hundreds of years and are still strong.

The battle line collapsed, and the noble castles still persisted until the end of the war, and there were not a few of them in the Alpha Kingdom.

Some well-known castles have been besieged dozens of times by orc armies in the past hundreds of years, and they still stand in the north.

When the war was at its worst, it was not uncommon for the capital to fall. It was not once or twice that the capital was temporarily moved to southern Xinjiang provinces to persist in resistance.

The Alpha Kingdom was able to stand firm because they had a lot of experience in being beaten.

Many things are difficult to accept when encountering them for the first time. As long as you experience them more times, you will gradually get used to them.

Whether the Principality of Moxi can bear it, Chris IX has no idea at all.

At least he didn't dare to formulate a plan in advance for the collapse of the front line, the fall of the capital, and the relocation of the capital to continue the resistance.

In the plan that can be discussed publicly in the Alpha Kingdom, Chris IX cannot even reveal this kind of meaning, otherwise the nobles in the country will be able to fry the pot immediately.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not easy for the orc army to sneak attack. The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops is so huge that it can't be kept secret at all.

It's not just us who are calm now, but also the Warhammer Kingdom next door.

The orcs grabbed the Alpha Kingdom and beat them up, probably because of history.They were originally feuds, and the beast kings of all generations had set the goal of destroying the Alpha Kingdom.

In contrast, the grievances between us and the orcs are not deep.If it weren't for the orc tribes who often went south to rob, there would be no conflicts. "

Prime Minister Herceg persuaded.

Although these reasons are not sufficient, there are only so many he can think of.From a military point of view, it must be to pick weak links to break through.

It is not impossible to gnaw hard bones first.But the problem is that there is a defense line behind the defense line of the Alpha Kingdom, and every noble castle is a ready-made fortress.

The ancestors have managed the castle for countless years, and even have rich experience in dealing with the siege of the orc army.

There are nails along the way. If they cannot be pulled out, the threat to the army's rear is too great.

In history, the orc army that bypassed these nails and forcibly went south, without exception, all ended in tragedy.

"Don't worry, how can I rest assured! Even because of hatred, the orc army stormed the Alpha Kingdom recklessly.

But after the head was smashed, can the orc not learn the lesson?
Although the Alpha Kingdom lost a large piece of territory in the north during the last war, the border between them and the orcs was also shortened by half.

Although the orcs are playing fiercely now, in terms of defensive pressure, I am afraid it is far from what it used to be. "

Chris IX said rather tangled.

The strength of the allies is definitely a good thing for the overall situation.But if the allies can't make a breakthrough, the enemy will point their guns at them, which is embarrassing.

The current situation is very obvious, which country the orc army will make a breakthrough in next will suffer the most vicious beating.

Fortunately, he was able to persist until after the war, and with the support of the nations of the human race, the country was restored.If luck is bad, the royal family will cool down early, and the foundation will belong to others.

Either a certain noble in the country will rise, or it will be annexed by a neighboring country.The newly-emerged royal family is at most somewhat related to the former royal family in terms of blood.

Even if the king can be replaced, it will be easier to replace the nobles below.If the loss of family strength is too heavy, it is only a matter of time before they are replaced.

……

The Warhammer Kingdom on the other side is also not peaceful.There are a few smart people in any country. Even if the king doesn't find the problem, people around him will remind him.

The collective stupidity of the ruling class is only a small probability event after all.When it comes to matters of life and death, no one dares to take it lightly.

Even the most optimistic nobles can't guarantee that the orcs will continue to fight against the Alpha Kingdom and will not change the direction of attack.

The only thing that comforts Joseph II is that the orcs are now mainly attacking the rough-skinned Alpha Kingdom, and there is no need for them to send people to help.

If the target of the beating turned out to be the Principality of Moxi next door, it is estimated that rescue letters would have flooded his desk, urging him to send troops to rescue.

The lips are cold and the teeth are dead. If any family is broken by the orc army, the enemy can attack them in a detour, and the three "bad brothers and bad brothers" will be unlucky together.

"What is the reaction of the countries on the mainland now? Have they agreed to send reinforcements?"

Joseph II asked concerned.

As the overlord of the mainland in the last era, the orcs are not only the enemies of the Three Kingdoms, but also the enemies of the entire human race.Facing the enemy of the race, it is natural to pull everyone together.

Theoretically speaking, combining the power of the Three Kingdoms can also fight the orcs to the death.Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, it is only in theory.

It's not that everyone doesn't work hard, it's that the two sides are facing different situations.The orc army can use the corpses of their companions as rations, but the human army can't be so crazy.

All the troops mobilized by the three studs, the pressure on logistics alone can directly cause the front line to collapse.

Supporting an army of one million to fight has already made the Three Kingdoms do their best.To train the young and strong from all over the country into an army and send them all to the battlefield is purely talk.

In the era of no breakthrough in transportation, it is not feasible to mobilize tens of millions of troops to the battlefield.

The only thing the Three Kingdoms can do is to slowly consume the Orc Empire.Although there are many cannon fodder troops of the orcs, they still have their limits.

The ability to reproduce is fast, and it is not enough to be an adult at birth.The cannon fodder is almost consumed, and it is the turn of the elite to go to the battlefield.

When it was the turn of the direct descendants of the family, the five royal families also needed to feel distressed.For example, the Beamon royal family with the smallest population, once they lose tens of thousands of troops on the front line, their own strength will immediately be shattered.

The situation of the four imperial courts is better, but overall it is much better.Losing tens of thousands of elites will also hurt your body; losing 10,000+ elites will also hurt your muscles and bones.

What is fair in the world, while giving these races great power, also weakens their fertility.

In previous wars, as long as the five royal families suffered heavy losses, the war would end soon.

It doesn't even need five families to be seriously injured at the same time. As long as one or two of them suffer heavy losses, they may choose to withdraw their troops.

There is no such thing as dead knocking.Orcs are not stubborn, if they were so reckless, they would have already become history.

"National countries have condemned the shameless behavior of the orcs. Some countries have promised to consider providing assistance to our three countries in the near future. The specific actions will have to wait for the next Human Race Alliance meeting.

In response to the call of the Frankish Kingdom, all countries will send representatives to Lutetia in July this year to participate in the No. 17 Human Race Alliance Meeting to discuss how to deal with the current complicated situation on the mainland.

According to the information we have collected, apart from discussing the issue of alien races, the Franks may propose a proposal that is unfavorable to the Holy See at the meeting.

Now they are in a very deadlock with the Holy See. The new Frankish Archbishop publicly announced that he will not accept any orders from the Holy See, and has questioned the legitimacy of Pope Pius VII. "

After hearing what the Minister of Foreign Affairs said, Joseph was so angry that his beard was about to stand on end.They fought the orcs on the front line, while the human nations behind them watched the fun.

They talked about support, but when it came to specific actions, they all pushed back and forth.

It sounds good to be discussing and discussing, but it sounds bad to find an excuse to shirk, not wanting to waste one's own strength.

It's only March now, and there are still four full months before July.It will take four months for the Human Race Alliance meeting to be held.

If we wait until all the countries have finished wrangling and come up with a proper plan to send troops, we don't know when we will have to wait.

Deep in his heart, Joseph II couldn't help but greet his ancestors.Why did you want to watch the show during the last orc invasion, and help the Alpha Kingdom earlier, so as not to put yourself in a dangerous situation!

Only after experiencing the cruelty of the orc invasion first-hand, can one know how good it is to have someone blocking the knife in front.It's a pity that time cannot be turned back, and now the Warhammer Kingdom can only bite the bullet by itself.

He wouldn't mind supporting the Alpha Kingdom to regain lost ground if possible.Joseph can guarantee that the nobles of the Warhammer Kingdom will never be jealous this time.

Especially the gang of nobles in the border area, they have been tortured by the orcs in recent decades, and many small and medium nobles are almost unable to support them.

If it weren't for the Warhammer Kingdom also imitating its neighbors and subsidizing the nobles in the border areas, it is estimated that many small and medium nobles who are on the verge of bankruptcy can only leave their territories and run away.

The situation is so critical, and the human race is still busy fighting among themselves.At another point in time, the Franks want to target the Holy See, and he definitely doesn't mind adding fuel to the flames.

Questioning the pope's illegitimacy was a great deal of fun.It would not be a good king if he did not take part in it.

When it comes to the struggle between kingship and theocracy, as a king, there is no need to think about which side to sit on.

But not now, the Kingdom of Warhammer needs support.Any struggle within the human race will weaken the support of the major forces for them.

The Alpha Kingdom and the Holy See fell out, but the Warhammer Kingdom had not yet broken with the Holy See, and Joseph II had to come out and call for a timeout for his own benefit.

Unfortunately, his right to speak seems to be somewhat insufficient.As one of the top ten kingdoms in the mainland, the Frankish Kingdom is the overlord, the Alpha Kingdom can also be ranked in the top three, but the Warhammer Kingdom is at the bottom of the list.

Even the title of "Top Ten Kingdoms" was shouted out by them. In fact, there is still a big gap between the previous kingdoms and the Warhammer Kingdom.

As for the kingdoms of the people behind, that's not to mention.The water in it is not so big. Being able to call a kingdom does not necessarily mean that it is powerful, but it may also mean that its ancestors are awesome.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will contact the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi to see if the three countries can come forward together and call on them to exercise restraint.

At this juncture, if the Holy See and the Frankish Kingdom fight, it would be terrible! "

Joseph II said helplessly.

For some reason, he always felt like he couldn't finish it.Things on the front line have to be taken care of, issues of allies have to be considered, and even the situation on the mainland has to be worried about.

……

In the mountainous area, the turbulent situation made Hudson also have a headache.

Looking at the kingdom's public battle report, his face was almost green with anger.This kind of rubbish record, are you embarrassed to take it out for publicity?

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the orc army is a terrifying, evil, and powerful existence.

But Lord Hudson, who has tens of thousands of slaves, said: Orcs are nothing special.

If it was really as powerful as in the legend, the mountain leader would have been overthrown by these guys long ago, how could he work honestly?
As the defensive side, they played a garbage record of [-] to [-], and most of the opponents were a group of cannon fodder troops.

Hudson didn't even know how to comment.

Not to brag, the tens of thousands of slave riots under his command only need a few hundred elites to suppress them.

Most orc cannon fodder races have very limited combat effectiveness.Hudson doesn't think that the Orc Empire has the ability to equip all cannon fodder with armor weapons. Maybe some orc cannon fodder still fight with wooden sticks.

The heavy losses of the defenders obviously cannot be caused by these orc cannon fodder.Then there is a high probability that an encounter will occur, and they will fight against the elite orcs.

For a moment, Hudson thought of "political necessity."It is estimated that the generals on the front line used it as political propaganda in order to fight a good battle.

It's just that the ideal is very full, but the reality is very slapping.The beautiful battle was not fought, but was blasted by the orcs.

Now I can only hope that the frontline generals can be more rational and stop doing anything for the sake of military exploits.

No accidents on the front line is the biggest benefit for the mountainous territory.

After a year or two, if he goes to the battlefield at that time, Master Hudson will be able to bring [-] well-trained soldiers and horses to the battle.

The military service tasks of the branches of the Koslow family were all transferred to the southeastern province, and all of them were placed on Hudson's head.

Once it was his turn to go to the battlefield in the southeast province, he would not only have to lead the army in the county to join the battle, but also the troops from all branches of the family had to keep up.

Considering that the obligations of each province are different, the southeastern province is more responsible for providing supplies, and the military service is relatively less. The Koslow family also needs to provide an army of weapons and equipment to compensate the provinces.

Fortunately, the equipment is only provided according to the standard of ordinary troops, and the armor only needs to account for one-tenth of it.If everyone in the elite troops wears armor, the Koslow family really can't get it together for a while.

The private army of the family + the private army of the nobles in the county, it is not a problem to gather [-] to [-] well-trained soldiers and horses.As long as two battles are fought, the survivors are the elite.

(Note: The Alpha Kingdom counts the number of troops as "Soldiers = Soldiers + Horses", and war horses are also included in Dingkou)

With so many elites following, not only the safety factor has been improved, but the right to speak will also be greatly increased.In important military meetings on the front line, they can also get the right to speak.

As long as you don't try to kill yourself, you basically don't have to worry about becoming cannon fodder.The kingdom is not yet so extravagant that it can abandon tens of thousands of elites at once.

In comparison, the struggle between the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See was nothing.

From the beginning to the end, Hudson never thought that these big forces would immediately support the northern battlefield.If the human race were so united, the orcs would not dare to take the initiative to start a war with ten courage.

It doesn't matter if there is a commotion, the bigger the commotion, the more valuable the blood moon horn in his hand will be.

Feng Shui took turns, Pius VII knocked a sap in the Frankish Kingdom in front of him, and now he is ushering in his revenge.

Questioning the legitimacy of the pope was the first time in the continent of Aslante.It can be said that Pius VII, this wave has also been named through the ages.

It's just this reputation, like the Frankish king, damage is inevitable, and it depends on whether it can be made up later.

Against this background, if the Horn of the Blood Moon falls into the hands of the Frankish Kingdom, and the Holy See is convicted of colluding with a cult organization, Pius VII will die in this wave.

From the standpoint of the Holy See, it is absolutely inevitable to win the blood moon horn.

If it weren't for the high-level officials of the Kingdom to have identified the corner of the Blood Moon as being in the hands of the Holy See, and then sealed it with the help of the mysterious compass.Hudson really didn't dare to trade at this time.

After all, it is still too poor, otherwise the prudent Hudson would not choose to take risks.Of course, being targeted is also one of the reasons.

When he was in the Mountain Territory, there was no problem, and no one dared to do anything.But once you go out with a large army, the situation is different.

With the style of the Holy See, the mountain leader can't stop prying eyes.If you keep this hot potato, you will bring disaster.

When it comes to the reputation of the Holy See, even if it is just a guess, it is enough to make the Holy See take a big action.

Especially now, when the dispute over the Pope's legitimacy is also involved, it is even more inevitable.

Looking at the Blood Moon Horn that Bear Stearns used to hold animal milk, Hudson smiled to himself.If the seal is not released, I am afraid it will be placed in front of everyone, and no one will think that the broken horn is an evil weapon.

Even if the news leaked out, everyone must be willing to believe that this is the "Blood Moon Horn".If it cannot be proved that the Blood Moon Horn is in his hands, then it can only be slander.

"Undead Magister", this terrifying title, even if Hudson himself stood up and admitted it, the outside world would treat it as a joke.

I really think that undead magic is so easy to practice, and you can just be a magister casually.If there is that kind of talent, it is exactly what the Alpha Kingdom needs most.

Although the reputation of necromancers is bad, everyone is still not interested in hunting them down before doing something.

Among the mage associations supported by the kingdom, there are many necromancers.It is people, not forces, that are inherently evil.

Especially in the current frontline, necromancers are most needed.As long as the necromancer makes a move, the corpses infected by the dark forces will no longer be used as rations for the orcs.

Being able to sneak into the circle of power, the eighteen generations of Hudson's ancestors have been checked by everyone.The course of birth and growth was all innocent, so she was included in the circle.

To say that someone is fake and shoddy is simply insulting everyone's IQ.

Without the most basic ability to distinguish, I am afraid that everyone's foundation has long been usurped by people and gods.

The only question now is whether the mysterious organization is the Holy See?

Only after confirming the identity can he be able to cheat better.If it is another big force, this price will definitely be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that only if the Holy See buys the "Blood Moon Horn", it will not make any public announcements.Even they are more worried about leaking than Hudson.

From the beginning to the end, the Holy See firmly insisted that the "Blood Moon Horn" was in the seal. If it was revealed that it was dealing with others, it would be a slap in the face.

The best way to deal with this kind of shady matter is to quietly erase all traces, instead of publicizing it with great fanfare.

　Call for the names of the five royal families: Beamon and Lionman are already available, and the other three are undecided.If it was mentioned earlier, please remind me that Haiyue only wrote two.
