Chapter 199 Revenge
If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created the problem.The Principality of Moxi has nothing to do with the orc army that caused the culprit, so it can only start with its own family.

Looking out of the window, after hesitating for a while, Chris IX said helplessly: "According to Marshal Hodge's proposal, carry out the fortified wall and clear the field.

Tell the nobles that the orc army has come.The Principality's darkest hour is coming, so prepare them.

Facing the invasion of the orc army, the Alpha Kingdom can survive, and so can we.

Whether it is rushing to transport food or rush to repair the fort, it is too late in time.

Migrate the serfs!
There is no need to keep everyone buried with them.Except for the young and strong who kept the city guard, the rest were transferred to the south.

Let the nobles along the way provide them with supplies, and all consumption will be settled by the principality with them.

The principality only makes suggestions on the migration of serfs and does not force them.If the food problem can be solved, all the people can be left behind.

Almost all the castles and fortresses in the occupied area fell.Facts have proved that our preparations are not enough to withstand the orc's soldiers.

Scattered garrisons will only be easily broken by the enemy.Allow nobles from all over the country to move closer to each other with the county government as a unit, and stick to a strong city.

Also do not make mandatory orders, if you think you have outstanding strength, you can garrison your own castle alone, or even take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the orc army. "

Except for the strong wall and clearing the field that must be enforced, the rest of the orders are all suggestions, which is enough to prove the inner contradiction of Chris IX.

Strong walls and clear fields are strategic materials.If you don't clean up the crops in the field by yourself as soon as possible, it will be too late when the orc army kills them.

No matter how heavy the loss is, it is better than the cheap enemy.The harvested grain is immature and cannot be put into the warehouse. At least it can be fed to the livestock, which can somewhat make up for the loss.

Migration of serfs, this is a big project.Judging from the area with strong walls and clear fields, there are millions of people who need to migrate.

In the feudal era, this is undoubtedly a very crazy decision.Deep down, Chris IX wasn't even sure if it could be done.

Especially the young and strong were left on the front line, and all the evacuated were old, weak, women and children.Migrating thousands of miles on foot from north to south, the reduction in staff is definitely an astronomical figure.

It is better to suffer heavy losses than to fall into the hands of the orcs and be completely wiped out.Although he didn't say it directly, it can be seen from the actual actions that Chris IX's inner hesitation.

As a king, he is not optimistic about his own country.If this news gets out, all the nobles of the Principality of Moxi on the front line will burst into tears.

It seems that migrating serfs is just a necessary means to solve the food problem.In essence, it is still to preserve vitality.

In Chris IX's view, it is only a matter of time before the gaps in the defense line appear, and the fall of several northern provinces in Yimapingchuan.

The only place that can struggle is the southern provinces of the Principality.Trade space for time, and continue to resist, maybe you can persist until the reinforcements of the Human Race Alliance arrive.

When the time comes to counterattack and recover the lost land, these serfs who moved south will be the main force for post-war reconstruction.

The serfs must be preserved as much as possible, and the nobles who are the foundation of the principality must be saved as much as possible.

With the precedent of the Alpha Kingdom, Chris IX is still very confident that in the future, with the help of the Human Race Alliance, he will regain the lost land and regain the ancestral foundation.

The strategic deployment made now has already paved the way for the future involuntarily.

……

The Principality of Moxi was preparing for the worst, and the political pressure on Crown Prince Caesar suddenly increased.

Although no one said it clearly, the fall of Bethel Fortress and the slow movement of the expeditionary force were inevitably linked together.

It is conceivable that once the news is sent back to the country, the hat of disregarding the overall situation and going his own way will most likely be put on his head.

If timely remedial measures were not taken, leading to the failure of the strategic mission entrusted by the Kingdom, it would not be enough to pay back all the prestige he had accumulated in the early stage.

"Are the Moxi people all useless? The gap was torn open so quickly by the orcs, it's just a defense line of paper.

It is the Bethel Fortress that has fallen now, so will it be Terence or Dapace that will fall next time? "

The complaints from the depths of the soul are enough to prove that Crown Prince Caesar is really angry.Judging from the anger on his face, those who didn't know thought he was the crown prince of the Principality of Moxi.

"Your Highness, the orcs are determined to capture a fortress, and it is almost impossible to defend it with only the strength of a noble family.

The Moxi people made a mistake in their misjudgment. They underestimated the determination of the orcs to take down the Bethel Fortress, and failed to provide reinforcements in time.

Slow movement and poor control of the frontline battle situation are also their chronic diseases.

From the fall of the previous Augustsburg defense line to the loss of the current Bethel fortress, this has been confirmed.

The Moxi people are unreliable at critical moments, we must learn a lesson, and we must not let the army be trapped in an isolated city. "

Earl Jose persuaded earnestly.

It seems that they are talking about the garrison issue, but they are actually telling Crown Prince Caesar cryptically: the Mosi people are unreliable, so give up the unreliable plan before!
"Good news!"

"Good news!"

……

The sudden sound of "good news" interrupted the conversation between the two.Immediately afterwards, the guards handed a sealed document to Crown Prince Caesar.

After a cursory glance at the content of the good news, Crown Prince Caesar's cloudy face suddenly turned cloudy.

This "good news" came too timely.

Just after the fall of the Bethel Fortress, he received this turning point. If anyone criticizes the expeditionary force for inaction, he can directly reply.

It was not only the first time since the start of the war to encircle and annihilate a fully formed Beamon cavalry regiment in a field battle, even if the time was extended for hundreds of years, such a record was rare.

It's not that the human army can't fight. It's mainly a field war. If you want to carry out annihilation, you must have the right time, place and people.

With the fighting power of the Beamon cavalry, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can break through and run away even if they can't beat them.

A full-stacked Beamon cavalry regiment was simply unlucky to be surrounded and annihilated in the wild.

"Count, look! The mighty orc army is actually nothing more than that, not as powerful as the Mosi people say."

While speaking, Crown Prince Caesar had already handed the victory letter to Earl José.After all, he was still too young to hold his breath and write his inner thoughts on his face.

After glancing at the contents of the good news, Earl Jose was also shocked, and immediately recovered.

With this good news, the political dilemma they faced disappeared in an instant.

However, he directly ignored the complaints about Crown Prince Caesar.If the orc army was not strong, the three northern countries would not have been passively beaten.

"Your Highness, send the news back to the country as soon as possible! It is best to send the news to the capital before the news of the fall of the Bethel Fortress arrives."

Politics is like this, magnifying one's own advantages as much as possible to cover up problems that one does not want to expose.

"Ok!"

"Our troubles are gone, but the Moxi people's plea for help must be taken seriously.

If they really collapse early, no matter how brilliant our tactical achievements are, we will not be able to cover up our strategic failures.

According to the order, starting from tomorrow, the marching speed will be increased to forty miles, and we will strive to rush to the front line as soon as possible.

The Beamon family has always been vengeful, and sent someone to remind Earl Hudson to be careful of the orc's revenge. "

In the face of interests, the conflict between the previous two is not worth mentioning at all.

Titans always have more privileges.

Compared with the continuous defeats of other people, Hudson's two consecutive victories have a very different status in the eyes of Crown Prince Caesar.

Before that, he wished that Hudson would fall a big somersault, but now there will be no more.

Common interests made Crown Prince Caesar abandon his initial prejudices.Even if there is still a estrangement, it will only be kept deep in my heart.

They all learned from their father. Even the mighty Caesar III was often stunned speechless in military meetings.

Under the inheritance system monopolized by nobles, the talent base itself is not large.

There are a total of [-] large and medium-sized nobles who have the ability to cultivate excellent generals, that is, master core resources, in the entire Alpha Kingdom.

With such a small base, it is not easy to train several generals who can fight.

It is too illusory to expect them to have super high emotional intelligence while being able to fight.

He has heard and seen a lot since he was a child, and his adaptability will naturally become stronger.With the threat of the orc army, the first element now is to be able to fight, and other problems can be postponed.

As for the battle, they went back to their respective families, and only a few remained in the army to serve.

Most of the nobles and generals have returned to their fiefs, and they may not be able to meet the king for ten or eight years. It is a typical out of sight, out of sight.

……

In the Beamon camp, Crown Prince Alex's face was gloomy and terrifying.A fully formed Beamon cavalry regiment disappeared directly on the battlefield.

For such an unprecedented event to be encountered by a coach with insufficient prestige, it is undoubtedly pouring cold water into the frying pan.

"I just asked Royeia to take someone to the bear camp to check it out. Why did it suddenly disappear?"

Competition among the five imperial courts is still unavoidable. There was a big explosion in the camp of the bear tribe, and each tribe naturally sent people to check it out.

It would be impolite to send someone to investigate from the air.If he is killed by someone as a "human spy", there is no way to go and reason.

The cautious Crown Prince Alex directly sent a cavalry regiment.Theoretically speaking, such a force is sufficient to deal with any emergencies.

"His Royal Highness, there was an encounter between us and the bear camp.

It's just that the traces on the battlefield are almost destroyed, and the identity of the belligerent cannot be directly determined.

Judging from the position where Royeia sent out the signal for help, the two almost coincided, and it could be inferred that the cavalry regiment led by him was the one fighting.

About three or four hours after the big bang, the bear people also sent the only remaining eagle people to investigate, and we also found several dead eagle people nearby.

According to the information from the dark thread, the bear people suffered heavy losses in the battle to attack the Bethel fortress. A main army was almost wiped out, and all kinds of auxiliary troops lost no less than [-].

In addition, many strong men were tricked by the enemy and stayed in Bethel forever.

It can be preliminarily judged that it will not be the bears who are responsible for it.The other three imperial courts have not sent out the main army recently, so the suspicion can also be ruled out.

Basically, it is certain that the cavalry regiment led by Royeia should have been ambushed by the elite human legion, and then suffered a tragic disaster.

Just at the time of their accident, a human army passed by nearby.They are the First Legion of the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force and the new 23rd Legion of the Mosi people.

The two forces have been operating together for some time.The last time the troops sent by the Silver Moon Imperial Court met them on the way, they were almost wiped out in the end.

With their strength, if they are prepared in advance, they can still eat one of our cavalry regiments. "

Prince Butzweig analyzed solemnly.

Royeiya was single-handedly promoted by him, and the Beamon Cavalry Regiment he led was also his old department, a proper direct line of force.

He didn't do anything, just went out to perform a mission, and the entire army was wiped out, which weakened his strength a lot.

If he hadn't been sure that this was an accident, he would have wondered whether Crown Prince Alex was going to kill someone with a knife, and wanted to take the opportunity to cut off his wings.

Of course, this is just a thought.Although the internal strife of the Bimon clan was bloody, they were not so prodigal that they sent a cavalry regiment to the enemy for the sake of internal strife.

The entire Bimon family has less than 30 people, and the loss of a thousand-member regiment at one time is a major event that needs to be reported to the imperial court.

This kind of thing happened, and Crown Prince Alex, as the supreme commander, was also to blame.

After a long silence, Crown Prince Alex said slowly: "Your Excellency, I leave this matter to you.

Find their location and kill them.Use their heads to commemorate our dead warriors! "

The truth is not important, the key is to find a target to kill and give the country an explanation.

"His Royal Highness, the enemy's position has been determined. Judging from the direction they are heading, they should go to the Fort of Flying Bear to change defense.

Counting the days, now they are almost arriving.It was too late to intercept halfway.

Flying Bear Castle has a longer history than the Moxi Principality.The fortifications of the city are very strong, and a strong attack cannot be completed overnight.

Moreover, we have to be vigilant about the Bethel Fortress.The background of the veteran human nobles must not be underestimated.

My Bimon family are all cavalry, and I am not good at siege.It is best to find an opportunity to settle with the enemy in the field.

What's more, the Fort of Flying Bear is not within the area we are responsible for, and the army needs to negotiate with the bear people to move across the border. "

Prince Butzweig resolutely refused.

Knowing that there is a pit, but still jumping into it is definitely not the act of a wise man.

Unable to give full play to the advantages of the Beamon cavalry, and only relying on a group of miscellaneous soldiers to attack the enemy's heavily guarded fortress, Butzweig's brain is not broken.

Naturally, tasks that are destined to be impossible to complete cannot be accepted.
