Chapter 208 Commander of the Expeditionary Force

"Daniel, you came so fast!"

Prince Butzweig couldn't help mocking.

The two parties agreed that everyone will join hands to make a big wave together.He led his subordinates to fight all the bitter battles, but the final spoils were snatched away by Duke Daniel.

The orc empire pays attention to the law of the jungle, and the spoils that are eaten will not be spit out again.

After a great battle, apart from gaining fame, the Behemoth army did not see any substantial benefits.

Although a lot of weapons and equipment were seized, they were bought in exchange for soldiers' casualties.Regardless of the loss of the cannon fodder troops, the key is the loss of the Beamon cavalry.

"When the rabbit is in a hurry, it will bite people."

What's more, the opponent is the human army.

Facing the large-scale charge of the Beamon cavalry, the expeditionary army really had nothing to do, but facing the Beamon cavalry who were chasing after them, the noble knights who fled for their lives were not so cowardly.

The nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are also experienced in how to deal with the single Beamon cavalry.Even if you haven't experienced it yourself, you have heard the elders in your family bragging about it.

I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, nobles who can walk down from the battlefield may not be able to learn the ability to command thousands of troops, but they must have learned a lot of pure combat skills and life-saving skills.

This kind of inheritance can be found in almost every noble family.After all, if you are unlucky, the elders who participated in each war will die, and the family will not be passed down to the present.

Three or five Bimon cavalry chased them out, and they would never come back alive.When it comes to life and death, the noble knight with explosive potential still does not lack the determination to fight to the death.

So much so that the Beamon cavalry lost less than four digits in the previous battle, but because the troops were too scattered in the follow-up pursuit of the enemy, the loss was increased to four digits.

After the battle, Prince Butzweig was surprised to find that the total strength of his direct lineage had dropped from more than 500 before the battle to less than 7000.

Compared with the record achieved, such a loss is really nothing, but the pain is still inevitable.

If the wolf cavalry came a little faster, the loss of the Beamon cavalry could definitely be controlled within a thousand.

Another loss of troops, another loss of spoils, Prince Butzweig didn't lose his temper on the spot, that's all due to self-restraint.

"His Royal Highness, praise!
My silver moon wolf cavalry is not as brave and good at fighting as the Beamon cavalry. The only advantage I can show is speed.

If the speed is slower, I am afraid that there will be no place for us in the five imperial courts. "

Duke Daniel responded indifferently.

It seems that this battle was really won because the wolf cavalry arrived in time.

Faced with such a shameless person, Prince Butzweig could do nothing.Things happen, and even winning the argument won't help.

This time I was taken advantage of by the Silver Moon Imperial Court, so I can only find a way to make up for it next time.The infighting between the five imperial courts did not happen every day or two, and digging pits with each other had long been the norm.

If the position of the body is changed and the teammates are cheated, Prince Butzweig will not be soft.

No matter how they were torn apart, this battle was won by the joint efforts of the two imperial courts.

The expeditionary force would not have collapsed if there hadn't been an army from the Silver Moon Emperor's Court attacking the camp of the Human Race Allied Forces.Facing the Beamon cavalry alone, no matter how heavy the casualties are, the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force can carry it through.

After all, what is fought on the battlefield is confidence.

If the morale of the army does not collapse, even if more troops from the Silver Moon Imperial Court join in, the expeditionary army, which has the superiority in strength, can still fight to the death.

Maybe it will fail in the end, but at least it can get a decent ending.For example: Both losers suffer, and the orc army only wins miserably.

"Humph!"

After a cold drink, Prince Butzweig directly left a back view.He failed to ask for an explanation, and he wrote down the account.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the Direct Legion has lost more than [-]% of its personnel, and it has suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, this battle was won beautifully, and the imperial court's supplementary troops were already on the way, which comforted Prince Butzweig's wounded heart a little.

……

On the fourth day of the failure of the great battle, that is, September 99988, 9 in the sacred calendar, the Principality of Moxi finally gave this failed battle an official name "Battle of Dacias".

There is no technical content in the naming, just because the main battle locations are in Daqi and Yass. After some quarrels, everyone made a compromise and chose to put the two place names together.

The senior officials of the Principality of Moxi chose to block the news of the defeat internally, but they had another diametrically opposite attitude towards the outside.

After the first high-level meeting after the defeat, the news was delivered immediately.In order to obtain more international aid, they even exaggerated their own losses.

As one of the unlucky ones who jointly paid the bill for the defeat, Caesar III's beard stood up in anger after the news reached the Alpha Kingdom.

It doesn't matter if you lose troops or lose generals. From the moment the expeditionary army was dispatched, there was no expectation that these troops would be able to retreat unscathed.

But the crux of the problem is that the supreme commander in command of this battle is actually his precious son.

It is conceivable that this epic failed battle will be recorded in the annals of history along with the life of his son Caesar Jr.

The reputation of the royal family has been completely lost in this wave.

It's impossible to find someone to take the blame. This battle was too tragic, and at the same time, the Principality of Moxi, the Principality of Orton, and the Earl of Ruilin suffered heavy losses, and the others simply couldn't bear it.

"Tell the Moxi people, I don't care what happens in this battle, anyway, Little Caesar can't have any accidents!"

Caesar III said angrily.

If the reputation can't be washed away, then simply don't bother to wash it off.The big battle can fail, but the precious son can't have an accident.

There was no place to vent his anger, and Caesar III couldn't help venting his anger on the Principality of Moxi.If it wasn't for helping them in the past, they wouldn't have trapped their son in it.

Originally, he just wanted to provide a high-standard experience. According to his original plan, the crown prince just went to observe and study, and by the way, to gain some military exploits.

Of course, if one can cultivate extraordinary military command ability, it will be even more lucrative.

Everything went very smoothly in the early stage. The First Army fought on the front line to earn their military exploits. As the commander-in-chief, the crown prince only needs to sit behind and watch.

The two good news came, and Caesar III thought that his son had grown up and learned the necessary skills for a monarch-sitting and reaping the rewards.

It's a pity that the slap in the face came too fast. The country is still promoting the record of the First Army of the Expeditionary Army to wipe out the Beamon Cavalry Regiment. My son immediately sent an epic defeat.

Even counting the wolf cavalry that participated in the battle, the ratio of the total troops invested by the two sides in the war was 18 vs. 7, an absolute superiority in troops, and they were defeated on the first day of the battle.

Put it anywhere, it is a proper negative teaching material.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. At this time, the Moxi people will not let His Royal Highness be surprised.

Perhaps at this time, they have already found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but they have not had time to deliver the news. "

The Grand Duke of Newfoundland forcibly comforted him.

He can fully understand His Majesty's suffering.It would be uncomfortable for anyone to meet such an uneasy son.

As for the safety of the crown prince, as long as the guards sent out are not dead, there will be no accidents.

What's more, in addition to the masters sent by the royal family, the Principality of Moxi also sent masters to protect secretly.Everyone is very careful about this top-level second generation.

In a sense, the Mosi people attached more importance to the safety of Crown Prince Caesar than their own crown prince.

Who made Caesar III such a single seedling?

In case of an accident, who knows what the crazy Caesar III will do next.

"Humph!"

"When that traitor comes back, I will definitely make him look good.

The order was passed on to relieve the Crown Prince of the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force and be replaced by Viscount Hudson, the commander of the First Army.

After finding the crown prince, immediately take him back home.If you don't obey, tie me back. "

Caesar III said angrily.

It can be seen from his slightly relieved expression that Caesar III's anger has been suppressed a lot.

My dear, there is no way.As long as there is no accident for the son, other problems will not be taken care of so much.

The failure of the great battle can basically declare that the Principality of Moxi is going to die.

At this time, to stay in the Principality of Moxi is to dance on the tip of a knife.If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Taking advantage of the trend to remove the Crown Prince from his position may seem like a punishment, but it is actually a father's love for his son.

As for the title of commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force falling to Hudson, there is simply no choice.

Of the six legions that went on the expedition, five were directly defeated and collapsed.Among the high-ranking officers on the front line, except for Hudson, who is the only seedling, even if the rest can save a life, they still bear the responsibility of defeat.

It would be good for a defeated general not to be questioned, how could he continue to be promoted.

Unless the Alpha Kingdom is willing to fill the quagmire of the Principality of Moxi with more troops.Otherwise, the First Legion is the last face of the Expeditionary Force.

Regardless of whether there are personnel appointments, Hudson has now become the de facto commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.

Competitors do not exist. Originally, everyone thought that rescuing the principality of Moxi was breaking into the dragon's pond and tiger's den. Now it only proves this point better.

Even if there are big nobles with more senior qualifications, they will not jump out at this moment to grab this hot potato.

Even knowing that the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force is of a high rank, the authority in his hands is very large.In the Principality of Moxi, it can represent the Kingdom of Alpha.

……

In the Principality of Orton, Orton XIX, who received the news, couldn't help but swear.

From the Crown Prince Caesar to the high-level commanders of the countries participating in the war, he greeted them all over and over again.

Of course, the one who received the most spray was the expeditionary force coach Raimondo.It doesn't matter if you lose the battle. It would be too much to lose the [-] army that the Duke of Orton painstakingly assembled.

The most important thing is that once the Principality of Moxi is cold, the Principality of Orton will also become dangerous.Without this neighbor standing in front of them, these small countries are simply unable to resist the orc's soldiers.

"Your Majesty, issue the highest mobilization order!
This battle directly ruined 10,000+ mobile troops, and the Mosi people have lost the ability to launch a strategic counterattack.

The next battle to defend Dapes City can only delay for a while.According to the most optimistic estimate of the military, they can last up to one and a half months.

This means that at the end of October, the Principality of Mosi will lie down.If it is delayed until November at most, the resistance of the Principality of Moxi will fall into a trough.

The orc army, with nowhere to release their energy, will look for new prey.

It could be the Kingdom of Alpha, it could be the Kingdom of Warhammer, it could be us as well. "

Prime Minister Jacob said with a serious face.

The sorrow of the weak country is reflected at this time.The defeat of the expeditionary force directly exposed the reality of the Principality of Orton to the orc army.

Once the orcs set them as a breakthrough target, even if they just sent out a partial army to invade, it would be difficult for the Principality of Orton to resist.

"it is good!"

That short word seemed to have exhausted all the strength in Orton XIX's body.

Similar scenes are still being staged in the homes of neighbors in the Principality of Moxi.Realizing that the danger was really approaching, one after another entered the national mobilization mode.

One after another serfs were continuously recruited into the army; one army after another was continuously trained.

Overnight, all countries in the north launched national mobilization.Regardless of the combat effectiveness of these troops, the number has indeed expanded, as if only the number can reassure everyone.

If all the countries worked harder in supporting the Principality of Moxi, even if it was only one-third of the current mobilization intensity, the situation would definitely not collapse to the point where it is now.

……

Lutetia, after receiving the news of the failure of the Dacias Battle, the noisy members of the House of Representatives rarely calmed down and began to think.

To be precise, everyone is waiting for the decision of the power behind them.

The situation has deteriorated too quickly, and the original delaying tactics can no longer satisfy the current development of the situation.

The more countries involved, the lower the efficiency of making decisions, and the worse the implementation will be.

As a person in power, these issues must be taken into consideration.Even if the support plan is launched immediately, it will be a matter of the coming year when reinforcements from various countries gather.

For such a long time, I still don't know what will happen in the middle.It would be fine if the northern countries could hold on, but if they all suffered a big defeat like the Principality of Moxi, then it would be over.

The strength of the northern countries accounted for almost one-fifth of the power of the human race.If it breaks and goes in, the various alien races suppressed by the human race will probably jump out of it.

The scene of fighting against a hundred clans alone, just imagining it makes one's scalp tingle.

Only one-third of the human race's status as the overlord of the mainland was due to military strength, and the remaining seven-point was due to political means.

Dividing, disintegrating, and provoking confrontation among various races have been the core strategies of the Terran Alliance for a long time.

It's a pity that after the human race established itself as the overlord of the mainland, they continued to occupy the living space of all races and gradually became the public enemy of the mainland. These political methods became more and more pale.

No matter how nice the words are, in the end it depends on what you do.There are more and more black histories, and the relationship between the human race and various races has become more and more subtle.

It has developed to the present, and has gradually transformed from the original three-point military and seven-point politics to seven-point military and three-point politics.

A mainland hegemon dominated by military means must maintain a strong position at all times.Any trace of decadence may trigger a new continental war.

"Members, everyone can see the news from the north.

After so many years of development, the strength of the orc empire is stronger than that of the last two-clan war.

Judging from the comparison of strength, the strength possessed by the Orc Empire has exceeded the critical point, posing a serious threat to our supremacy.

Now we need to discuss the topic, besides driving the orcs back to their hometown, we also need to consider how to cut off this potential threat.

We don't expect to completely destroy them, and the various races will not allow us to do that, but at the very least, we must severely damage the orc empire, and it is best to be able to destroy them.

Members of Parliament, the days of peace have passed for too long, and many alien races have forgotten the majesty of my human race.

Now is the time to find someone to stand up to and show off the prestige of our human race in order to deter the hundreds of races in the mainland. "

Charles III's words instantly caused an uproar.

Everyone has no idea not to lift the lid. Now that they think about it carefully, everyone realizes that the strength of the orc empire has reached [-]% of that of the human race, and it may even be higher.

Undoubtedly, in the continent of Aslante, which is full of many races, this time the ratio has reached the warning line set by the sages of the human race.

It doesn't matter what race it is, no matter how good everyone's relationship is, as long as the strength exceeds [-]% of the human race, it must be suppressed.

What's more, the one who possesses this power now is the orc who is extremely hostile to the human race, so there is no need to discuss it.

Members who were still waiting for their own forces to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision suddenly realized that there was no need to waste time.

　Remarks: Pig's foot is a feudal Viscount in the Alpha Kingdom, and its official title is: Viscount.

In private, he is called the Earl by the highest title.
