The King

  Chapter 239 Reinforcements

  The bed crossbow strikes, the trebuchet is paralyzed, the magic crystal cannon smokes...

  The fierce battles in the past few days, whether it is the human defenders or the orc army attacking the city, all paid a heavy price.

   Looking at the battlefield from a distance, anyone can see the worry on Crown Prince Alex's face.

  The outside world thought it was caused by the unfavorable situation on the front line and the severe damage to the Beamon Legion. Only he himself knew that the real hidden worry came from his father.

  Bimenghuang's re-emergence greatly exceeded his expectations. With the appearance of Emperor Bimon, the network of personal connections that had been painstakingly managed was instantly shattered.

   "Chu Jun", after all, there is still an extra word "Chu". Seeing that Emperor Bimon was old and strong, those who were planning to stand in line stopped in their tracks.

  There have been too many negative cases in the past. Emperor Bimon survived the death of several crown princes, and adding another one is no big deal.

  The "secret method of longevity" that is widely spread among the human race is certainly released by the Alpha Kingdom, but Alex's help is also indispensable.

  My own plan is like a child's game in front of Emperor Bimon, and the success rate of comeback is frighteningly low.

   If you don't want to follow in the footsteps of your elder brothers, you can only use external force. The emergence of the secret method of longevity is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

   Rumors are not terrible, what is terrible is that rumors are close to the truth. All Alex did was to process the information in his hands and reveal it after artistic processing.

  Not only are the powerful people of the human race ready to move, but there are also many peepers inside the orc empire.

  If it wasn't for being intimidated by the majesty of Emperor Bimon in the past, and the war is still going on, it is not a good time for internal fighting, and the orc empire will not be peaceful.

   "Your Highness, Prince Butzweig has led an army to the Principality of Orton, and is out of danger now, so you don't need to worry too much.

  Dapest battle, although temporarily lost, but the situation is still under our control.

  The enemy's Terence line of defense has been almost taken down by me, and only the last few big cities are left. After pulling out these nails, it's time to settle with the Moxi people.

  Prince’s proposal is good. If we can’t destroy the Principality of Moxi for the time being, let the army divert to destroy the Kingdom of Warhammer first.

  If the refugee wave plan goes well, not only will we be able to take down the Warhammer Kingdom this time, but we will also be able to disrupt the rear of the Alpha Kingdom and disrupt their military deployment.

  If you are lucky, you may be able to destroy the three northern countries in one fell swoop, and win the Northern Continent! "

  The time has come to test the relationship. It seems that he is trying to persuade Crown Prince Alex, but he is actually speaking for Prince Butzweig.

   In terms of personal connections, Prince Butzweig, who has been in the army all year round, has a much deeper foundation than Alex, the crown prince who eats, drinks and has fun.

   They are all descendants of Emperor Bimon. It is still unknown who will be able to sit on the throne in the end.

  Especially the current Emperor Beamon is particularly able to survive, maybe Alex, the last prince, will also meet the Beast God first.

  The prince is gone, and it is the turn of the princes and grandchildren to compete for the position, so Prince Butzweig has an advantage. Even after experiencing a failure, he is still favored by many people.

   "Understood, ask General Agustin for his opinion. If he thinks that the plan of crossing the Principality of Mosi and bypassing the Principality of Orton to enter the Warhammer Kingdom is feasible, then implement it."

   Crown Prince Alex said with a gloomy face.

  My old and immortal father has not been dealt with yet, and the group of juniors below are now restless.

  The elder brothers met the Beast God in advance, but the contacts they managed remained behind. Prince Butzweig inherited the political legacy of a deceased crown prince.

  Alex, who has endured countless years, will naturally not lack patience. Knowing that now is a good opportunity to suppress Prince Butzweig, he still chose to restrain himself.

  There are so many competitors, pressing one will not solve the problem at all. Going up to add insult to injury will only make the situation more passive.

  As the crown prince, he already has an advantage in righteousness, and he can just follow the trend, and there is no need to do things absolutely.

   The most urgent task is to solve the threat posed by Emperor Beamon. Without this sharp sword hanging above the head, things will be easier to handle later.

  It's a pity that Emperor Beamon was too cautious and didn't give him a chance to do something. Now he can only hope that the peepers outside will give a little bit of strength.

  Alex couldn't care less about the possible future troubles caused by this. Under the shroud of fear of death, his heart was on the verge of collapse every day.

  …

   "Trash!"

   "It's all a bunch of trash!"

   "Everyone is an idiot. Fortunately, they are still known as the world's number one cavalry, and they are actually..."

  The voice of the Xiongren Emperor swearing and cursing sounded in the camp, and the nearby royal court officials lowered their heads one by one, trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible.

   Seeing the opportunity to avenge his shame, he flew away from under his nose. The bear emperor with a bad temper is now a cannon barrel.

  Bearman's violent temper is innate, and the racial nature cannot be changed by becoming a king. Not only the bear emperor has a bad temper, but all the emperors of the orc clan have bad tempers.

  Many times when I get angry, I don't save any sympathy. The advantage is that after venting your anger, the matter will pass quickly, which is much better than holding it in your heart to ferment.

  After venting for a while, the Xiong Renhuang who calmed down, frowned more and more.

   Cursing can't solve any problems. After venting emotions, we still have to face reality.

  The big defeat on the front line led to the bankruptcy of the plan to destroy the Principality of Moxi, and it was meaningless to continue the original plan.

  If it is a cavalry unit, you can also consider whether to enter the Principality of Orton through the Principality of Mosi, and then stab the Kingdom of Warhammer.

  But the Xiongren imperial court sent all infantry. If they followed suit, they would be surrounded by the human coalition forces before they could go out.

  The expeditionary military engineering corps that originally destroyed the road has now gone back to rest and no longer digs holes along the way.

   It is obvious that the enemy is not afraid of them passing by now, and may even be waiting for them to come. Without the support of allies, the little army sent by the bear emperor's court alone is not enough for the human race coalition army to fight.

   "Send the order, let Bruno bring the team back!"

   Xiong Renhuang ordered rather helplessly.

   "Cavalry", the bear court needs a cavalry capable of fighting tough battles. The golem cavalry handed down from the ancestors is indeed very powerful, but the problem is that the number of golems is too small.

   Unlike war horses, which can be bred and produced in batches, golems are notoriously low in fertility. After becoming an adult, they give birth to one child every five or six years, and the young elephants have to be domesticated for more than ten years before they can go to the battlefield.

  Since the prestigious Golem Cavalry Legion was destroyed by the human race, the bear court has been thinking about reorganization all the time. It took a lot of hard work to catch a few magic elephants, and after decades of development, the elephant herd multiplied to more than 300 heads.

   I don’t know how long I will have to wait to reproduce the grand occasion of Vientiane rushing together. The number of war elephants is insufficient, and the elephant cavalry has become an embellishment.

   To truly play a role in a great war, at least hundreds of war elephants are needed to determine the success or failure of a battle.

   Undoubtedly, this is impossible for the current bear court. Elephants still need to reproduce, and they cannot exhaust the water for fishing.

  The more than 50 war elephants in the royal camp are definitely not enough to attack.

   After all, this is an extraordinary world, and there are so many things that can threaten war elephants. Whether it is a high-level knight, a magician, or a large magic crossbow or magic crystal cannon, they can all cause fatal blows to cavalry.

   Before a certain scale is formed, it is difficult for the golem cavalry to exert its power. There are many similar endangered arms among the various ethnic groups in the mainland.

   The golem cavalry was transferred here, in addition to acting as a front, it was more responsible for the camp security work, so as to avoid the tragedy of "horse stepping on bear camp" again.

  …

  Watching the retreat of the orc army, and excuses, Hudson, who had no more battles, suddenly became idle.

  Perhaps because of the stimulation of the war, the administrative speed of the bureaucrats of the Principality of Moxi was much faster.

   The military exploits and rewards that could have been disputed for several months, came up with a specific plan on the seventh day after the end of the war.

   There is no accident. Apart from supplementing some of the ordnance and supplies consumed in the war, there are only a small amount of rewards for cultivation resources, and more rewards are "war bonds".

  The real reason is much more complicated than Hudson expected in advance. Although the Principality of Moxi sold a lot of bonds, the gold coins it got were actually not many.

  After most of the gold coins were obtained, they were immediately traded and exchanged for strategic materials. Even if there are surplus funds in hand, the money is still abroad and has not been shipped back at all.

   So much so that now the Principality of Moxi, the finances are only rich in name. Although the actual treasury will not let mice come in and cry, it is difficult to feed them.

  There is no cash in hand, and when rewarding heroes, they can only settle with bonds.

   This is still a special preferential treatment given to the expeditionary army as a guest army. If it is placed on the national army, it is directly recorded in the account first.

   It can be seen that there are still smart people in the government of the Principality of Moxi, who know that bonds cannot be issued indiscriminately.

   If you have nothing to do, you can only visit and exchange feelings. Although he doesn't like these entertainments very much, in order to make more connections, Hudson still chooses to accept the reality.

   "What, reinforcements from the Terran Alliance are coming soon?"

   It’s not that he made a fuss, it’s really too early. When did the Terran Alliance have such a high efficiency?

   "Your Excellency, don't be too surprised. The ones coming here ahead of time are only the masters sent by the major forces.

   They were all stimulated by the secret method of longevity. After the alliance meeting reached an agreement, all major forces sent experts over one after another.

  According to the information we have collected, the number of masters who came this time is much more than what was required by the Alliance Council.

  Especially the Holy See, it is said that hundreds of ascetic monks have come out.

  Almost all the strong men whose lifespan was nearing the end of the continent gathered together. With so many strong men gathered, Bi Menghuang's good days will soon come to an end. "

  After listening to Prince George's explanation, Hudson understood it instantly. Whatever is beneficial or not, must give way in front of Changsheng.

  Especially those powerhouses whose lifespan is nearing, when encountering such a thing, they must try hard.

  However, to attract so many people to participate, it is definitely not enough to rely on only one longevity rumor, and there must be more evidence that has been circulated.

   Vaguely, Hudson discovered that this seemed to be a big conspiracy, and someone was manipulating something behind the scenes.

   "Your Highness, could it be that the rumors about the secret of longevity are true?"

   Hudson asked tentatively.

  Two people from different classes can become friends and sit here chatting purely because of their interests.

  As Crown Prince George, he also has his own hardships. Under normal circumstances, it should be the crown prince's turn to preside over the overall situation when the king falls ill.

   It is a pity that the domestic nobles do not trust him, the young crown prince, including members of the royal family, and are unwilling to support him to preside over the overall situation.

  It is not a big problem for the ministers of the DPRK and China to take power in the short term. But once this kind of thing continues, it is easy to have a pattern of "the minister is strong and the monarch is weak".

  Delegating power is easy, but collecting power is difficult.

  The current ministers are very peaceful and have enough respect for the royal family. It is hard to say what the future will be.

   It may not be possible to rebel, but the matter of the great nobles taking over the king has happened in the continent of Aslante.

  If the future is not to be emptied, Prince George must establish prestige. In the current complicated situation, it is almost impossible to make a difference politically.

  The key to breaking the game lies in the military. The lessons learned by Crown Prince Caesar directly blocked the way for Prince George to command the army to make achievements.

   If you can't break through from the front, then make a detour from the side. The risk of leading troops to the battlefield is too high, and everyone will not support it, so it's okay to follow the battle!

   Hudson, who was invincible all the way, soon entered the sight of Prince George. Although Huyou Hudson failed to change jobs, it did not affect the two becoming friends.

  Compared with a group of old men, two people of similar age obviously have more topics in common.

   "Whether the secret method of longevity is true, I am not sure. But Emperor Bimeng was able to live until now, and he did use the secret method of longevity.

  This news has been confirmed.

   It is said that in the current state of Emperor Bimeng, he can live another five hundred years. Eight hundred years of longevity can catch up with elves.

  Even if it is used by the human race, if it is discounted in half, it is also a lifespan of 400 years, which can live longer than the strong in the sanctuary.

  Especially for those strong people, once they have such a long lifespan, the probability of further cultivation will increase greatly.

  It is possible to break through the sanctuary, or even touch the realm above the sanctuary.

  Anyway, according to the arcane masters, if you continue to practice and realize life leaps, your lifespan will continue to increase.

   As for the specific situation, there are not many records in the royal family's collection, and most of them are unofficial history, so it is impossible to judge whether it is true or false.

  The only proof that can be found in history books is the group of ancient epic heroes. Many of them survived for more than three hundred years.

   However, these myths and legends, many accidents occurred in the process of inheritance, and the content may be distorted.

  Especially, the impact of the Ten Thousand Years Calamity is the most serious. After almost every catastrophe, the situation on the mainland will change drastically, and the civilizations of many races will suffer heavy losses. "

  Prince George replied, leaving Hudson wondering how to answer. The child's biggest hobby is to explore these strange things, and he lacks piety to the gods.

  If it was in the era when the Holy See ruled the mainland, a master like him who openly preached heresy would definitely be sent to the grill.

   But now is the era of kingship, Caesar III dared to confiscate the property of the Holy See, Charles III was able to question the legitimacy of the Pope, and George preached the theory of arcane arts, which was nothing at all.

   Remarks: Collateral and direct line are relative relationships, brothers and sisters belong to collateral blood relatives.

   Now that Alex is the crown prince, his lineage is the direct lineage, and other lines are collateral lines.

   If Emperor Bimeng is the source, then the descendants of the other deceased crown princes are also direct heirs.
