King

Orc Empire.

Seeing the neighbor next door prospering while one's own family is still struggling to fight a civil war would make anyone feel panicked.

They are also worried, but the four royal families are obviously more anxious. Unlike the Alliance of Seven Clans, which has no way out and can only fight to the end, those with vested interests have more concerns.

The plan did not change quickly. The plan to divide the Seven Races Alliance was successful, but the plan to disintegrate the Seven Races Alliance failed.

The operation of "six peaches and seven soldiers" can only make the seven tribes suspicious, but they can't stand it because they still have contractual constraints.

The magic contract is so easy to use, but it has not become popular. On the one hand, it is because the cost is too high, and on the other hand, it is worried that someone will tamper with the contract.

Like the Elf Tribe and the Alpha Kingdom, both sides have strong men from the Sanctuary who can ensure that the other party cannot tamper with the contract.

The Alliance of Seven Clans does not play magic. If someone really tampered with the contract, they might not be able to detect it.

However, this was just a normal operation, and the seven clans could not stand it. Each of the seven clans prepared a contract and signed seven magic contracts at once.

You can distrust the magic contract provided by others, but you can't take it seriously if you take it out yourself.

The leaders of each clan are treaty-makers. Even if they have doubts about their allies, they can only go ahead with it.

What's more, the credibility of the four royal families is far from enough to convince everyone with just one promise.

Every time when hesitating, everyone can't help but think: What if the four royal families suddenly turn against each other after the seven clans become the six clans?

If this knot cannot be untied, no one will dare to betray their teammates. Otherwise, as long as they act a little slower every time, the seven tribes can become the six tribes without violating the contract.

To be precise, the current Alliance of Seven Races is no longer just seven races. Relying on coercion, inducement, and alliances, another group of races was fooled.

The situation has developed to this point, and the neutral faction no longer exists. The four major royal families and the Seven Clans Alliance each have a group of subordinates, directly dividing the Orc Empire into two.

The strength gap between the two sides has also been further narrowed. When it comes to disputes over the core interests of races, the more similar their strengths are, the more difficult it will be to resolve the matter.

"Dear emperors, we cannot delay it any longer. We must take thunderous measures to quickly suppress this rebellion, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"

Crown Prince Daniel persuaded him hard.

He was not that proficient in political matters, but Daniel had a very thorough understanding of military matters.

The core reason for the failure of the previous military operations was that the four royal families had their own agendas. We made an appointment to act together, but at the last minute something changed.

So much so that a good plan turned into a fueling tactic. If he, the commander-in-chief, had not adjusted his strategic deployment in time, he might have been pushed back by the enemy.

Fortunately, this kind of tragedy only exists in joint operations. When several royal families work alone, the army's cooperation will be much more powerful.

"Marshal Daniel, the alliance of the seven races has become a climate. The human race is watching eagerly from the side again. We are provoking a large-scale civil war at the moment, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of it.

War is only a means, not the ultimate goal. Through this period of strategic confrontation, the Alliance of Seven Clans also learned how powerful it was.

Why fight and kill when you can solve problems through negotiation? They are all members of the Orc Empire, and fighting will only benefit the evil humans! "

The Yingren Emperor's words made Daniel angry to death. You must know that a few months ago, he was still shouting and killing the Seven Race Alliance, but now he has changed his stance.

This shameless look alone is enough to prove that this is a qualified emperor.

Ability to adapt to changing circumstances - full marks!

"Your Majesty the Eagle Emperor, war is not about fighting with more people. The Alliance of Seven Clans may seem powerful, but it is actually at the end of its rope.

Gathering a large group of sub-races, it appears that the strength is doubled, but in fact it is just the opposite.

The more races there are, the more difficult it is to coordinate. The original alliance of seven races, they can also cooperate with each other. Now that there are so many younger brothers, it’s hard to organize and coordinate them.

If a military operation is launched against one of the clans at this moment, their rescue speed will definitely drop significantly. We have every chance to defeat them one by one! "

Daniel said confidently.

Ever since he witnessed the destructive power of pig teammates in the mainland war, he was no longer interested in the improvised multi-ethnic coalition.

The speed at which each tribe mobilizes its own troops is 10, so the speed at which they can mobilize their troops together is only 5 at most. Not only will the efficiency be reduced, but even the combat effectiveness will be affected.

Among the Seven Races Alliance, the only ones who have experience in leading many races are the Beamon family, and the rest are all oppressed poor people.

Once you become the master, many things are in the learning stage. I haven't even figured out how to manage my younger brother yet.

“Three of you, I think what Daniel said is right, the current situation really shouldn’t be delayed any longer.

Let's all work together and pay a certain price to quell the rebellion first.

If heretical ideas continue to spread, I am afraid that more and more races will demand power from us. You don’t want to be on an equal footing with the vassal races below, right? "

The Lion King spoke in support.

Although the political slogan at the beginning of the establishment of the Orc Empire was "to achieve equality among all races", in fact this thing has never been fulfilled.

In the past countless years, the orc royal family has undergone many changes, but the essence is still "the weak and the strong".

Even at the peak of the orcs' domination of the continent, only a few powerful races enjoyed the overlord bonus, and they had nothing to do with the ordinary races.

When it comes to core interests, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Without the support of the vassal races, the good days of the four royal families would be over.

"Marshal Daniel, if we cooperate fully, how much will it cost to quell this rebellion?"

The Bear King asked with concern.

Although deep down in his heart, he looked down upon the gang of boys recruited by the Alliance of Seven Clans, the current military strength of the other party should not be underestimated.

Different from the previous suppression of rebellion, the rebel parties can be directly killed. There are too many races involved this time. If they all were killed, the Orc Empire would be severely damaged.

Let alone letting them go. If the rebels can be forgiven, how can the four royal families have any majesty at all?

The dilemma was the reason why the four royal families were hesitant and often contradictory in their actions.

"Your Majesty Xiong Emperor, the battlefield is ever-changing. No one knows how much the war will cost before it ends.

However, this time the situation is special, and the price required to put down the rebellion depends entirely on what outcome everyone wants.

If all the rebels are to be killed, this war will probably last for several years, and may even drag on for more than ten years.

If everyone could issue a pardon: only the first culprits will be punished, no threats will be made, and those who have done meritorious deeds will be rewarded!

I think this storm will subside soon. When necessary, members of the seven clans can also be incited to rebel.

Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it can shake the enemy's military morale. After the rebellion is put down, use these races as cannon fodder to attack the Near East and consume them! "

Daniel said coldly.

Once unfaithful, never.

Daniel, who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, had already sentenced these rebellious races to death deep in his heart.

When such a tragedy happens, we can't just suffer the misfortune of our own family, we must also bring our neighbors together to share it.

"Okay, let's do it!

However, we need to focus on wiping out one or two of the big families and frightening the rebels.

All the rebels deserve to die, but they cannot all die in the civil war. The Empire had suffered heavy losses and could not take advantage of the Alphas.

Don't expect a complete victory, at least destroy their Near East strategy, otherwise there will be endless trouble! "

The Bear King said cruelly.

In the blink of an eye, it became "three to one". Any objections would be swallowed back by the Yingren Emperor.

The four royal families acted together, and countless vassal races mobilized. The Alliance of Seven Clans, which took action upon hearing the news, was not to be outdone and immediately mobilized the entire clan.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the entire orc empire. The Alpha Kingdom spies noticed something was wrong and immediately passed the news back to the kingdom.

Looking at the information gathered in his hands, Hudson's expression suddenly became serious.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the outbreak of civil war in the Orc Empire is a good thing; but in Hudson's view, the division of the Orcs into two camps for a long-term confrontation is the most beneficial situation for the kingdom.

In the long-term confrontation, the two camps have restrained each other, and the orcs have no time to interfere in the affairs of the Near East.

In the past year or so, the Near East has developed rapidly. The most important reason is that the orcs have no time to come and cause destruction.

Once the two camps decide the winner, the situation will be completely different. No matter which side wins, the kingdom cannot be tolerated to gain a foothold in the Near East.

"well!"

"Isn't it good to have peaceful development? Why do we always have to fight and kill!"

After sighing deep in his heart, Hudson shook his head. It is very good to have such a long period of peaceful development. There is no perfect good thing in the world.

The year 99994 is coming to an end. If you count the time, 20 months have passed since the end of the mainland war.

The civil war in the Orc Empire is still going on. Even if the two sides decide the winner immediately, the aftermath will take a lot of time.

This means that the kingdom's golden development period is at least one year away.

As of now, the main project of the Near East Defense Line has basically come to an end. Some ancillary projects are also under construction.

If we meet the construction deadline, there is still hope to complete the defense line before the orcs invade.

The only problem is: we need to work harder for the magician group.

In the extraordinary world, magicians are the best construction teams. It's just that the master mage is used to being aloof, so it's not easy to make them do hard work.

The magician group of Alpha Kingdom is an exception. They were coaxed and deceived by Hudson and did a lot of hard work.

Many magicians have been working on the front line of construction since the end of the war. It wasn't until the reefs in the coastal areas were almost cleaned that we started the holiday.

Now that we need to meet the deadline, we have no choice but to recruit the kingdom's magicians to serve again.

The most miserable ones are undoubtedly the earth magicians and the necromancers. The former is a natural engineer, and the latter is the best "contractor".

In comparison, although magicians from other departments also have work to do, they are far less hardworking than magicians from these two departments.

"José drafted an official document for me, telling the kingdom: The situation in the Orc Empire has suddenly changed, and the kingdom's peaceful days are coming to an end.

Taking into account the situation of the Orc Empire, the Near East Front Army Command determined that the enemy's earliest invasion time is likely to be after next autumn, and the construction of the border defense line must be completed before then.

Recommendation: The kingdom recruits all earth magicians and necromancers and rushes to the front line immediately to support construction. "

Hudson's words shocked Jose.

Looking at the entire Aslant continent, Hudson is the only one who dares to use the magician master as a coolie.

If another general dared to make such a suggestion, it would be best not to go out. In order to avoid being beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, we still don’t know who did it.

Especially the sentence "recruiting all..." is simply a thorn in the sky. Once the plan is approved, it means that someone as powerful as an eighth-level magician will have to join the frontline engineering team.

"Your Majesty, is this going too far?"

Jose persuaded tactfully.

Hudson is not afraid of getting into trouble, but he is! If it were known that he drafted the official document, the hatred would most likely be recorded on him.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. We have to believe in the king, he will find a way to convince these mage masters!"

Hudson said calmly.

There is no professional discrimination. In his opinion, magic should be applied in production and life. If the magicians hadn't been accustomed to being superior, the productivity of the Aslant continent would not be as low as it is now.

Building bridges and paving roads, building city walls, and constructing water conservancy projects are all the specialties of magicians. Many times, a magical task requires the engineering team to work exhaustingly for several months.

Judging from the construction speed of Xueyue Ling, we can tell that the water conservancy project has just been planned and the main construction was completed in less than a month.

As a price, Hudson paid Bear Stearns and Maxim 10,000 gold coins each day as their labor fee.

The main body has completed a lot of follow-up supporting projects. There is no way for Bear Stearns and Maxim to do these delicate tasks.

It’s not that they can’t do it, but the main reason is that the fees are too high, and even Mr. Hudson, who is rich and wealthy, can’t afford to hire him.

It's a pity that the magician group in the territory has not grown up. Except for the pitiful few magicians, the rest are still magic apprentices.

With just the little magic power that a magic apprentice has, he can earn a lunch by sending it to the construction site.

If Hudson can't gather the magicians together, it doesn't mean that the kingdom can't do it either. The population base is there. After the kingdom has accumulated for so many years, there will always be thousands of magicians.

After all, magicians always stay in the safest places during wars. Even if they encounter a major defeat, they are the first to evacuate. The own safety factor is much higher than that of ordinary knights.

…

In the Emerald Palace, Caesar IV, who had "high hopes" from Hudson, was scratching his head in worry.

After just a few days of peace, the orcs made trouble again, forcing the kingdom to take precautions.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of Marshal Hudson's proposal?"

Caesar IV asked with concern.

It was obvious that he had directly ignored the Near East Front Army Command in the official document.

In addition to its name, the "Near East Front Command" is actually Hudson's decision.

This kind of power evasion was not deliberate by Hudson, but because his prestige in the military was too high, and the deputy generals and supervisors arranged by the kingdom could not function as checks and balances at all.

Not only did they not check and balance, after arriving at the place, these guys turned into Hudson fans. Whatever the boss says, that’s what it is.

"Checks and balances of power", they have not lived enough and do not want to die in confusion on the battlefield.

Caesar IV was naturally dissatisfied with this situation and changed the core officials of the Near East Front Command many times, but to no avail.

He has no foundation in the army and wants to command the entire army with just a letter of appointment from the king. That would be too much to underestimate the noble officers on the front line.

All of them are arrogant warriors who have been killed on the battlefield. How can ordinary people control them?

If it weren't for the joint-stock structure of the Alpha Kingdom, the proud frontline soldiers, including Hudson, would have long since become a thorn in the kingdom's side.

After struggling for a while, seeing that no one was playing with him, and even his own family members were opposed to the tossing, Caesar IV also accepted the reality.

If the checks and balances fail, then we simply don’t play anymore. Focus your energy on the management of the royal family. As long as the royal family is strong enough, the royal power cannot be shaken.

The problem of having great achievements and shocking the master is just a small trouble. Anyway, in the continent of Aslant, there has never been a case of wearing a yellow robe.

Even if there is a political struggle, what is fought for is the right to speak (shares) in the kingdom, not the sacred and inviolable throne.

"Your Majesty, we have to guard against the question raised by Marshal Hudson!

If we are not fully prepared and allow the enemy to take advantage of us, all our investment in the Near East will be in vain.

For the sake of safety, we can only speed up the construction progress of the defense line and complete it before the orcs are ready.

It seems that as long as the defense line is completed and Marshal Hudson personally guards the front line, the Near East will be safe and sound.

If the Near East is stable, the northern frontier will be stable; if the northern frontier is stable, the kingdom will be stable! "

Caesar IV still heard the vague reminder from the Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland. It doesn't matter whether other areas are stable or not, the key is that the royal family must be stable.

In order to develop new territories, the royal family made a heavy bet. Not only was the family's hundreds of years of accumulation put on the line, but it also owed a large amount of debt.

If an accident occurs in the Near East and the orcs advance into the northern Xinjiang land, all the royal family's investments will be wiped out.

As long as such a major loss occurs once, the royal family will not be able to turn around in the next few decades.

Everyone's interests are tied together, and the current situation is that both the royal family and the Near East will suffer, and both will prosper.

“Well, let’s follow Marshal Hudson’s proposal and implement it as soon as possible.

Let people prepare the carriage, I want to go to the Magic Academy and the Arcane Academy in person. If we don't convince those old guys, the recruitment order may not be implemented! "

Caesar IV said with a troubled expression.

No one can do this kind of work for you. Facing a bunch of grandfathers and antiques, if the king doesn't take action himself, no one else can handle it.

Caesar IV was not sure whether he could convince everyone even if he went out in person.

After all, the story of Hudson detaining a group of magicians and instructing them to do hard labor some time ago is still being circulated in the magician circle.

If you are not called "shit", it is because everyone is showing mercy. Out of the need for balance of power, Caesar IV also secretly contributed to the situation and took the opportunity to reduce Hudson's reputation.

The effect was very good, and many magicians in the kingdom were dissatisfied with Hudson. He never expected that not long after, it would be his turn as the king to be sprayed.

The previous order was given by Hudson, so naturally it was his frontline coach who was criticized. The current mobilization order was issued by Caesar IV.

You can imagine how everyone criticized Hudson some time ago, and next they will criticize him as the king.

He knew he was going to be scolded, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Who made him the king?

At this critical moment, we must take the responsibility we deserve.

What's more, even if he was scolded, no one would scold him in front of him except for a few old antiques. If you don't hear the curse, just pretend it doesn't exist.
