King

Canglan City, Jade Palace.

The breakout battle has begun, and all the top leaders of the Alpha Kingdom are anxiously waiting for the final result.

This path is their own choice, and no matter what the consequences are, they have to bear them themselves.

Not only are the elite members of the family on the front lines, but also their most valued younger generations.

Theoretically speaking, the worst-case scenario for a breakout now is a serious loss of vitality. The soldiers may not be able to be brought out, but the family members will most likely be able to save their lives.

Even though he has seen strong winds and waves, he still can't help but worry when things happen. Compared to other ministers, Caesar III was much calmer.

Maybe this calmness and calmness are just fake, but as long as you can pretend for a lifetime, there is no difference between it and the real thing.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"The Human Alliance meeting officially made a decision to expand the war. The second batch of expeditionary forces has been finalized, with a total of one million troops from all parties.

Different from the delay last time, this time the major forces promised to start organizing and mobilizing immediately from the date the alliance decision was made.

Troops will be dispatched within half a month at the latest, and reinforcements from all walks of life are expected to arrive in our country within the next three months to one year! "

Count Francis' words made people look shocked, and then they regained their anxious expression.

It is rare that the Human Alliance is highly efficient, which is indeed good news. Unfortunately, this good news is not what everyone wants the most.

But it’s normal to think about it. If the news of the Northern Expeditionary Army’s breakout had not been confirmed, the efficiency of the alliance would not have been so high.

Regardless of the circumstances of the breakout, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be severely damaged. The three most powerful countries in the north have all been weakened. If we continue to delay, there may be big trouble.

As a continental hegemon, you can fail, but you must not show decadence. Even if it's just a hint of fading, that's not okay.

The Alpha Kingdom's vitality was severely damaged, so the next step was to let the reinforcements that arrived earlier go over first.

The first batch of reinforcements is nominally three hundred thousand, but because some human forces are too far away, there are still many reinforcements on the way.

The total number of reinforcements that actually arrived was only 250,000.

If the orcs break the pot and launch an attack regardless of their strength, this small amount of troops will not be enough.

Even if the remnants of the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi are added, it will be difficult to block the orcs' front.

Once the defense line is broken through by the enemy, the small northern countries behind will have no hope at all. The foundation of the human race in the northern continent will be severely damaged.

How could the mainland overlord not be hated by others?

Once this kind of tragedy occurs, the script of the human race, which is invaded by all the races on the mainland, can be picked up again.

"Thank you, Count Francis. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done a good job this time. With this good news, even if the frontline battle situation is not satisfactory, it can stabilize people's hearts."

While speaking, Caesar III deliberately glanced at the ministers.

The king's belly can support the boat, but the king also has a bottom line. Being forced into the palace by a group of great nobles in the kingdom, no matter how pregnant you are, it will be remembered in your heart.

Especially a hero like Caesar III attaches great importance to his authority.

He thought he had conquered all parties and firmly controlled the kingdom, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

When all the great nobles stand in the same position, he, the king, is nothing. No matter how powerful your political skills are, you can't prevent the officials from colluding.

On the surface, Caesar III chose to follow the good path, but deep down in his heart, a strong sense of crisis lingered.

The ministers have already tried the sweetness of joining forces. Who can guarantee that there will not be a next time?

Although they didn't know what Caesar III was thinking, everyone still chose to bow their heads and remain silent.

Joining forces to evade the king is no problem in theory, but in practice we will see who can do it.

There are also many conflicts within the aristocratic group, especially when encountering Caesar III, a king who is good at digging holes and planting mines. The nobles of the Alpha Kingdom have been divided into multiple interest groups.

If nothing else, it is impossible for the Koslow family, represented by Hudson, to reconcile with the Locknard family.

Although such feuding families are rare among the kingdom's aristocratic circles, there are many families who have fallen out due to interests.

Many times, everyone's relationship cannot be eased if they want to.

Face is a problem, trust is a bigger problem, and interests are an unsolvable problem.

"Report!"

"Report!"

The voice coming from outside the hall door broke the tense atmosphere in the hall and aroused everyone's emotions again.

"finally come!"

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the final result was, it was better than suffering all the time.

"Urgent report from the front line. After a day and night of melee, the Northern Expeditionary Army has broken through the enemy's first blockade.

It's just that the losses were heavy, many troops were scattered, and the number of people cannot be counted at present.

The losses among senior officers were particularly serious, with many senior generals of the kingdom including Marshal Campbell killed in battle..."

Before he could finish speaking, the messenger had already fainted and walked out. Only then did everyone discover that there was an arrow stuck in this man's back.

"Taylon, hurry up and save people!"

Letting the archbishop of the kingdom take action to treat a soldier who was delivering information was a record-breaking one.

However, at this critical moment, Caesar III could not care about so many rules.

It is not that easy to pass the information back under the blockade of the orcs.

Even if all the griffin cavalry were sent, it would still be a narrow escape.

He stepped forward to check and released a Holy Light Technique. Archbishop Tyron shook his head slightly and said: "His current body is very weak and is not suitable for forced treatment, otherwise his longevity will be seriously damaged.

I have stabilized his injury. Let's take him down to rest first! It is estimated that it will take several hours before he wakes up. "

Obviously, this result is not what everyone wants. They want to know more information about the front line than the life and death of a griffon cavalry.

Archbishop Tai Lun seemed not to feel the earnest gazes from everyone. In other words, I felt it but pretended not to know.

He couldn't care what happened to others, but when it came to himself, Tai Lun still maintained his true feelings.

It was this original intention that made him become the archbishop of the kingdom.

If he were like the great nobles in the country, Caesar III would not dare to push him to the throne.

"Take him down to rest!"

Caesar III said uninterestedly.

All he could think about now was the death of Marshal Campbell.

Putting aside personal feelings, as the head of the kingdom's military, Marshal Campbell is an important pillar in his ability to control the kingdom's army.

Although as a king, he would not place his hopes on one person, but the spare tire was far inferior to Marshal Campbell in terms of ability and prestige.

In peacetime, the requirements for military command capabilities are not high, so this is not a big problem.

Unfortunately, we are now in a war period, and Caesar III does not dare to appoint a commander with insufficient ability and prestige.

Unlike the nobles of the kingdom who invested almost all their strength in competing for the fruits of victory, Caesar III also left some remaining strength.

After all, among the seven provinces recovered this time, three of them were once directly under the royal family. This cake is enough for the royal family, there is no need to compete with everyone else.

According to the plan, as long as this loot is digested, the power of the royal family will be directly doubled, and his control over the kingdom will be further enhanced.

Unfortunately, the plan failed to catch up with the change. Marshal Campbell was killed in battle, which greatly reduced the royal family's influence in the military.

In the next battle, they had to rely more on the great nobles in the country.

After all, military talents capable of commanding an army of millions are not something you can just have if you want.

…

The king was struggling, and Hudson, who was far away on the front line, was also having a headache. Although he refused simply and neatly, when it came to specific actions, he was still preparing to respond to the Kingdom's army that broke out.

It was impossible to run hundreds of miles away to help him, but within a range of 180 miles, he still had to reach out and give him a hand.

After all, it is the military power of the kingdom that can save every point. At this critical juncture, if we pick up one more soldier, the subsequent military pressure will be reduced by one point.

"Bear Stearns, you said there has been a big change within the orc army?"

Hudson asked in surprise.

The scouts sent out never returned, including two nobles who owned flying monsters. I had no choice but to ask Bear Stearns to take a trip.

The Northern Expedition suffered heavy losses, and the news of Marshal Campbell's death did not surprise him. Only the changes within the Orc army caught Hudson's attention.

His intuition told him that this was probably an opportunity.

"What do you mean, am I the kind of unreliable bear?"

Bear Stearns said with an unhappy look.

Initially, Hudson wanted to nod and say yes, but seeing the serious expression on the cub's face, he finally held back.

"Tell me more specifically, what happened to the orc army?"

Hudson changed the subject.

Reason tells him not to try to argue with the naughty child, otherwise he will be able to pester you to no end.

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that a group of orc tribes gave up and broke away from the orc army.

It is estimated that there are one-third of the total strength of the orc army!

In addition to the five major royal families, there are all kinds of messy races, and they are probably falling out. "

After hearing Bear Stearns' answer, Hudson was shocked.

One-third of the troops were lost at once, even if all the troops were cannon fodder, it would greatly weaken the strength of the orc army.

Even if the elite troops are not affected, the question is, are the five royal families still willing to use their own direct descendants to fight?

"Didn't the orcs send troops to intercept?"

Hudson asked expectantly.

Deep down, he was already expecting the orcs to fight. No matter who wins or loses, as long as this kind of civil war is ignited, it will be a heavy blow to the Orc Empire.

"I don't know what the situation is now. Anyway, when we left just now, the two sides hadn't started fighting yet."
