Chapter 193 Military Missions
The blackmail task was completed, but Hudson only got one-third of the items on the list.

The rest has to be paid in batches. It can be seen that the current armaments of the Principality of Moxi are not rich.

Otherwise, just a legion, no matter how big Hudson's appetite is, how much can he take away?
All the ordnance was not in place, but the craftsmen and civilian husbands all sent it over.

It can be seen that in the eyes of big shots, labor is really worthless.

After counting the supplies, before he had time to be happy, Hudson received an invitation from Marshal Hodge.

"The transaction was exposed?"

As soon as the idea was born, it was cut off by Hudson.

Even if this kind of thing is really exposed, the gang of bureaucrats in logistics will have a way to deal with it.

As a guest army, even if the Principality of Moxi wants to hold him accountable, it is impossible to hit him with the board.

For the commander-in-chief on the front line, the smartest way to discover this kind of thing is to pretend not to know anything.

No matter whose hands the ordnance falls into, it will be used to fight the orcs after all.As long as it is not smuggled out of customs, it means that the meat has rotted in the pot.

Even if he wanted to lift the cover and make matters worse, he, the frontline commander, could not do it.

Otherwise, everyone will be offended, and how will everyone cooperate in the subsequent battles.

If it has nothing to do with the transaction, it can only be a military mission.

In recent days, Hudson has also seen how much pressure is on the front line.

Fortresses like Terence City are fine. Some of the fortresses hanging outside were directly besieged by the orc army, and they were almost out of contact.

Reinforcements are non-existent.

No one dared to send reinforcements to these besieged fortresses at the risk of being besieged by the orcs. The defenders inside could only count on themselves now.

Fortunately, in these military fortresses, there is a habit of hoarding food and water sources. As long as the defenders can block the enemy's attack, there will be no problem for a while.

Perhaps in some people's minds, using the defenders in the fortress to attract orcs to attack and consume the enemy's troops is also a very cost-effective deal.

Anyway, at this time, the defenders couldn't run away.He didn't want to be sent to the grill, so he had to fight the orcs to the end.

In the face of desperation, people's potential can be most stimulated.It is not impossible for the cannon fodder troops to play a combat power close to the main force.

There is no doubt that the first game of this game is Alpha Kingdom.It's just that the Principality of Moxi has only learned half of it so far.

The aristocrats of the Alpha Kingdom did this at first, mainly because of the responsibility of guarding the land.

I have a duty, I can't leave the territory and run away, and I don't want to be the soul of the orc.

The castle is simply built tall and thick, and the inner city defenses are layered one after another. The whole castle is a war machine.

Facing the attack of the orc army, everyone directly played the game of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, leading the people to hide in the castle.

An ordinary fortress castle is not worthy of an army of orcs.Usually after a tentative attack, you will give up after finding out that it is a hard bone.

With a successful example, more people will follow suit soon.So much so that it has developed to the present, the northern provinces of the Alpha Kingdom are full of various fortresses.

When the number of fortresses reaches a certain level, you only need to add a city wall in the middle to become a new line of defense.

Facing the army of orcs, the defenders in these fortresses were all good boys; as soon as the main army of orcs left, they immediately came out to make trouble.

It's not that the orcs didn't think about pulling out these nails blocking the road.Unfortunately, after many attempts, I found that this is completely worth the candle.

Although there are many cannon fodder races in the Orc Empire, they can't hold back the castles and fortresses along the way that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

To win a castle, not only need to pay a lot of casualties, but also need to consume a lot of time.

Fortress after fortress was pushed horizontally, and the battle line hadn't moved forward much, and time had passed.

What's more, no matter how much cannon fodder there is, it is limited after all, and will eventually be used up one day.At that time, you can't use the main force to smash the city wall, can you?

Perhaps drawing on the successful experience of the Alpha Kingdom, the Principality of Moxi also built its own strategic defense line in this way.

It seems that the operating modes of the two parties are similar, but in fact the difference is very large.

After passively bordering the orcs, the insecure Principality of Moxi, in order to quickly build a strategic defense line of its own, directly led the central government to organize the construction.

One side is a fortress built to save his own life, and the other side is a fortress built by bureaucrats. Anyway, Hudson does not believe that the quality of the two sides can be the same.

The fallen Augustsburg Line is an example.

Being caught off guard by the enemy is only one aspect, and there are loopholes in the city defense construction, which is also one of the core reasons.

Under normal circumstances, even if the city defense map is exposed, it will not be attacked by the enemy and destroy all the anti-aircraft firepower.

Even if the reaction is a step slower and the outer city is lost, the inner city can still be defended.There is no guarantee that you will hold on, at least you can hold on for a while.

On the battlefield, time is life.Even if it is just one more day, it may change the situation of the war.

If the Principality of Moxi could withstand the most severe wave of beatings, perhaps the one being beaten now would become the Kingdom of Warhammer.

Strolling on the street where only sergeants shuttled, the strong smell of gunpowder blows to the face, which is so depressing that it is suffocating.

Stepping into the Marshal's mansion, there are already many officers gathered in it at this moment, and Hudson is considered to be late.

Following the guidance of the guards, he sat down in a front seat and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone is acquaintances, only Hudson is a strange visitor, the position is still very front, the identity is ready to be revealed.

No one came forward to strike up a conversation, and no one came to provoke.From the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, it can be seen that the news about him making a big fuss about the Military Supply Department must have spread.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be followed by everyone.As a guest army, after fighting the battle, you can pat your ass and leave, and it doesn't matter if you offend someone.

All the officers present had to consider their own family interests, and they might even be beneficiaries in the chain of interests.

When interests are involved, it is natural that one cannot act according to one's temper.Even if you feel a little wronged, you can only bear it first.

Hudson has long been used to all this.In order to reduce the pain of parting, he has never been interested in making friends with the dead.

Among the dozens of officers present, half of them survived after the battle, and that was due to the Lord of Dawn's blessing.

If the Principality of Moxi unfortunately collapses in the war, it might be wiped out.

Hudson was not interested in betting on the odds, so he simply ignored everyone and closed his eyes to rest.

……

"Everyone who can come here has arrived, so now the meeting begins. I guess you have guessed it. The main reason for calling you here this time is to deal with the increase of orc troops.

It's not as exaggerated as the rumors say, the Alpha Kingdom still holds back most of the orcs' strength, and the number of enemies we have increased is only tens of thousands.

As long as everyone is united and keeps the enemy out of the line of defense, there is still hope for completion. "

Marshal Hodge's words pulled Hudson out of his meditation.

It is true that the total strength of the orcs has only increased by "tens of thousands", but the threat of these tens of thousands is more than the hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder outside.

The arrival of these guys made the victory balance, which was already tilted on one side, completely drop.

Even defending the city is not easy. Among the five royal families of the orcs, apart from the Yingren family, which are all airmen, and the Beamon family, which are all cavalry, the other three have infantry.

Randomly pull out a team and put it among the human race, it is all first-class and elite, and belongs to the existence on the ceiling of combat power.

Once the orcs made up their minds, no one knew whether Terence's line of defense could be held.

"Marshal, the elite infantry regiment of the orcs has also come, I am afraid this time they are determined to break through our defense line.

Maybe we can still defend Terence City now, but there are loopholes everywhere in the front that stretches hundreds of miles, it is really too easy for the orcs to break through and enter.

The orc army was allowed to get in the way last time, and now it is even more difficult to guard against.The enemy only needs to capture a few fortresses to open a safe passage more than ten miles wide.

The enemy has so many elites, leaving just a few cavalry regiments to guard them, it will be difficult for our defenders to destroy them.

If the orcs divide their troops to contain us, and the army goes south to take the king's capital Dapace, I'm afraid..."

When the words came to his lips, the middle-aged officer swallowed them back.This kind of unpleasant speculation has always been "can only be understood, not expressed in words".

After listening to the middle-aged man's analysis, Hudson couldn't help but take a second look.Being able to analyze the problem so thoroughly is obviously not for the idle generation.

Now these problems happen to be what the defenders of the Terence line of defense need to worry about the most, even more important than the enemy launching a full-scale attack.

Regardless of political factors, once the orcs divide and advance, the logistics of the army will be cut off.

Now the principality of Moxi is empty, obviously it can't stop the advance of the orc army.The destruction of the country and the family may happen at any time.

"Wagner, the situation you analyzed may indeed become a reality, and even the orcs have already begun to plan and implement it.

It's not like they haven't done similar operations before.How could the principality be completely defenseless?
It is inconvenient to disclose the specific plan. Our current task is to defend the Terence line, and the rest of the matter will be considered by the Principality.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, I plan to increase troops to some fortresses with high strategic value and implement key regional protection.

Calling you over for a meeting today is to prepare to readjust the previous combat missions.

Earl Hudson, the situation is tense now, and the frontline forces are tight, so you have also been arranged for combat deployment. "

It seems that the wind is calm, but in fact Marshal Hodge's heart is also ups and downs, and he has no confidence at all.

There are some things that cannot be done with preparation alone.Even though the orc's combat intentions are now felt, the Principality of Moxi does not have enough strength to deal with it.

Fortunately, reinforcements from various countries have arrived one after another, otherwise Hodge really doesn't know how the Principality can deal with it.

As the words fell to the ground, everyone's eyes were on Hudson, waiting for his answer.

"Your Excellency Marshal, there is no problem in participating in the battle. We have been prepared to fight the orcs to the end since we left our hometown.

It's just that if you are unfamiliar with the place, you have to prepare for a few days to adapt.Now that we are not familiar with the place, it is best not to make the station too complicated. "

Hudson said meaningfully.

Military service missions are definitely unavoidable.From the moment I arrived at the front line, many things became involuntary.

Now it is nothing more than that the task came too soon, and did not wait for the follow-up legions of the expeditionary army.

After such a long time of no contact, Hudson suddenly felt that Crown Prince Caesar might be planning something.

Naturally, this kind of untimely speculation cannot be told to outsiders.

He didn't have enough troops to be brave, and with only one legion in his hand, Hudson didn't dare to go out.

Seeing this scene, Marshal Hodge suddenly laughed, and directly handed the garrison map to Hudson, pretending to be generous and saying:

"No problem, the Earl of Hudson can come from thousands of miles away for reinforcements, such a small request is nothing at all.

The places where additional troops need to be stationed are all marked on it, and you can choose by yourself! "

As long as you are willing to go to the front line, it doesn't matter where you are stationed.Whether it is safe or not is relative, the key is where the orcs will attack from.

For Marshal Hodge, no matter where the Wrightshire Army is stationed, it can save a lot of troops and then use them where they are most needed.

Looking at the information marked on the map, Hudson went blind.

As an outsider, even if he has done some homework, he only knows one geographical location, and there is no time to understand the specific details.

In front of everyone, you can't back down at this time.After a little hesitation, Hudson pointed at the map and said heartily:
"Just choose here. My hometown also has a Flying Bear Fortress. It is fate to meet it now."

It's definitely fate, it's not that he, Mr. Hudson, is picky.As a nobleman who owns the Earth Bear, he has reason to have a good impression of the fortress with the bear in its name.

From the disappointed eyes of everyone, it can be roughly seen that the garrison position he chose should be pretty good.

Glancing at the crowd, Marshal Hodge said expressionlessly: "Since Earl Hudson likes Flying Bear's Fort, you are responsible for leading troops to garrison here.

In addition to the Wrightshire Legion, the new No.20 Three Legion will also assist you to garrison here.For the specific military deployment, His Excellency the Earl can discuss with the commander of the Raquel Legion.

After the defense change is completed, the Sixth Army Corps and the newly formed Third Army Corps stationed here will first withdraw to rest and replenish their troops.

......"

A series of military orders were continuously issued from Marshal Hodge, and none of the officers present made a fuss.

Seeing this scene, Hudson suddenly understood why the Mossi were able to stabilize the front line.The internal bureaucracy is rotten, but there are still a few Optimus Primes after all.

Orders and prohibitions are the fundamental principles of an army.It is definitely not easy for the unknown Marshal Hodge to be able to manage an army composed of private troops of nobles in a submissive manner.
