King

After the small conflict, Blake felt much more at ease. Without the giant of the Holy See taking the lead in making things happen, the internal conflicts in the alliance suddenly decreased a lot.

Everyone has a clear eye and knows very well that the big forces above are no longer making trouble. If they make trouble at this time, they will be causing trouble.

If unfortunately you become the focus of a big power game, you will have to passively take sides. In the short term, there may not be any trouble, but it will be hard to say when the war is over.

There should not be too many forces in the history of the human race that have declined because they were on the wrong team. There are many lessons learned from the past, and it is natural to learn lessons.

The Holy See was at peace, but Hudson was dumbfounded. I originally thought that Blake came here to find trouble, but now it seems that it was just a whim.

Vaguely, he realized that he seemed to have tricked the Holy See again. In order to sell the "Blood Moon Horn" at a good price, I made a guest appearance as the Archmage of the Undead. I didn't expect that people from the Holy See actually believed it.

I'm speechless when I think about it. I don't know how to verify such a big thing before launching it.

However, given his current status, it seems difficult for the Holy See to verify it. Except during gatherings, it would be difficult for people from the Holy See to get close to him.

For some reason, something felt wrong to Hudson. Even if the identity of the Archmage of the Undead is true, revealing it will not do much harm.

The reputation of necromancers is indeed bad, but except for the Holy See who is shouting about beating and killing, other forces are not so hostile.

Since the break with the Holy See, necromancers have openly appeared in the Kingdom's magic group. Even arcane masters and wizards who are considered blasphemous by the Holy See have also appeared publicly in the Kingdom of Alpha.

For a moment Hudson came to his senses. The Holy See's move was not to kill him, but to take advantage of the military power in his hands.

The status of a necromancer is too disturbing, and shouting and killing would not be a problem, but professional discrimination still exists. Once his identity is undermined, Hudson's position as head coach will definitely be unstable.

If he steps down now, the next people who have a chance to take over are Marquis James and Duke of Cavadia. Some of these two people are in collusion with the Holy See!

After coming to this conclusion, Hudson felt bad. Foreign enemies cannot defeat the Alpha Kingdom, but internal troubles are different.

No matter who is colluding with the Holy See, it means that the Holy See's tentacles have secretly extended into the kingdom.

Hudson is not too worried about the dispute between the kingdom and the Holy See. Everyone has been fighting for so many years, and they have probably used all kinds of methods.

But involving himself would be intolerable. If you don't find and cut off the enemy's tentacles, wouldn't it make him look easy to bully?

Unfortunately, there is no clue now. With Blake's identity, it is impossible for Hudson to arrest the person for interrogation.

There is no clue at all. It is really difficult to find the traitor in the team.

After this failure, the enemy's next actions will inevitably become more subtle.

With no clues to be found, everyone looks like a traitor to Hudson. His behavior has become more cautious.

…

Time flies, and it’s half a year later. In the past few years, the front line has been generally peaceful.

Within the alliance, there were occasional quarrels between several major forces, creating topics for everyone to talk about in their boring lives, without causing any big trouble.

At first, the orcs came to attack and destroy, but after suffering heavy losses several times, the eagle men learned their lesson and no longer foolishly came over to throw stones. Even if it is an order from the imperial court, it is mostly done as a matter of course.

They were all forced out. The Human Alliance improved its efficiency, and the first to arrive on the battlefield was the Air Force.

Although they only used part of their wealth, hundreds of forces, large and small, came together to form an air force of more than 20,000 people.

The pressure instantly shifted to Yingren. Even in a head-on battle, the human air force would not fall behind.

What's more, in order to better deal with the Yingren, these human forces who do not respect martial ethics have equipped the air force with magic crossbows one by one.

Compared with the wealthy human race, the performance of the orc empire is much shabby, and they can only make do with bows and arrows.

The output of high-end goods like magic crossbows in the Orc Empire is already low, and the cost is terrifyingly high.

Especially after the war broke out, the Alpha Kingdom blocked all trade channels, causing them to directly lose their production capacity.

Without the precision spare parts made by the dwarves, the magic crossbows made by the Orc Empire themselves are all huge.

Even the smallest magic crossbow weighs five to six hundred kilograms. It's okay if it's left to the infantry, but if it's used by the Yingren soldiers, I'm afraid it can only be carried by two or three people.

Holding a bow and arrow and shooting with a magic crossbow, Hudson couldn't help crying when he saw the scene.

massacre!

Naked massacre!

Intensive fire strikes often only require one encounter to deal a heavy blow to the Yingren Air Force.

Except for a few strong Yingmen who can rush over and engage in hand-to-hand combat, ordinary Yingmen soldiers often die before the enemy even touches them.

The battlefield is the best teacher. Reason tells Hudson that there is a high probability that there will be a great era of magic crossbows in the future.

If the production cost of magic crossbows can be reduced, the next continental war model will be completely rewritten.

Not to mention the lowest level of soldiers, even ordinary knights have little resistance against the magic crossbow.

Even the Sky Knights couldn't resist for long in the face of the dense magic crossbows. Once the power of the life seeds in the body is exhausted, there is no choice but to run away.

We have to admit that the development and popularization of war-related weapons is very fast.

The specific time of the birth of the magic crossbow cannot be verified, but the portable miniature magic crossbow actually appeared only forty or fifty years ago.

Due to cost constraints, it has not been equipped on a large scale. But research in related fields has never stopped.

Looking at the various shapes of magic crossbows in everyone's hands, we can tell that these items are made by different alchemists and are obviously the results of the major forces over the years.

What left Hudson speechless the most was that these results were not the results of anyone's deliberate effort to research them, but were just a sideline business created by alchemists to make money.

…

"We can't go on like this. The strength shown by the human race is much stronger than during the last continental war.

Especially the enemy's air troops, more than one-third of them are equipped with miniature magic crossbows. The closest one has a range of more than a hundred meters, and the far one can even reach three to four hundred meters.

Our people fought with the enemy, and many times they suffered heavy losses before they even had time to get close!

In the past six months, a full 7,000 Yingren warriors died on the battlefield, and the casualties caused to the enemy would never exceed 3,000, including the enemy's ground troops.

Unless we can also mass-produce magic crossbows, this war will not be fought at all! "

The Yingren Emperor said with a livid face.

I originally thought that causing trouble for the enemy and engaging in air raids would be a good job, but I didn't expect that the losses would be so heavy.

What worries the Yingren Emperor the most is the rate of development of the human race. If this situation continues, the living environment of the Orc Empire in Aslant will only become worse and worse.

"Eagle King, calm down first. We have almost suppressed the rebellion in the country, and the next step is the decisive battle with the human race.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to defeat the enemy head-on, the empire's power is obviously insufficient.

The dangers of magic crossbows do need to be carefully considered, but this is not without solutions.

The crisis has spread, and we are not the only ones who need to accept the challenge. All races on the mainland must reconsider the threat of the human race.

Record the battle scenes of the magic crossbow and send someone to give it to the dwarves, and they will know what to do.

Next, we should follow the old rules, trade space for time, and slowly wear out the human race while resisting.

There is no need to worry too much. The human race together is indeed invincible on the mainland, but the human race alliance has long since split.

We need to face a human race composed of hundreds of forces, not a unified human race. Internal competition alone will consume at least more than half of their strength.

As long as the leaders of all races on the mainland are not stupid, they will not be able to watch the human race destroy us. As the situation in the empire worsens, various races will definitely put pressure on the human race.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as it drags on for a while and finds a mediator to admit defeat to the human race, this war will be over. "

Alex tried to comfort him.

The tragic experience of the Eagle people is just the beginning. As the war deepens, more races will be encountered.

Deep down in his heart, Alex couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. Finally, they have someone to back them up, and they are no longer the Behemoths alone in their misfortune.

"Eagle Emperor, what Emperor Beamon said makes sense. What we have to do now is to hold on. The human race is indeed very powerful, but all races on the mainland are not vegetarians.

The main reason is that the war was launched in a hurry and there was no time to coordinate the relationship with all ethnic groups, otherwise they would not be so passive.

After suffering this loss, as long as we learn from the lesson, we will still have opportunities in the future.

For example: the miniature magic crossbow in the human army.

As long as we have a good relationship with the dwarves, making spare parts will no longer be a problem, and we also have the possibility of large-scale equipment.

At worst, we can also develop sea transportation, trade with the dwarves by sea, and completely break the blockade of the Alpha Kingdom! "

The Lion King said proudly.

From that calm and calm tone, there was no hint that he had single-handedly initiated this war, and there was no trace of guilt at all.

All I can say is that being the boss is different. His strength has not increased much, but his thickness of face has increased first.

His style of speaking and doing things is not exactly similar to that of the late old Emperor Beamon.
