Chapter 220 The Evil of Human Nature

After Huyou left Marshal Hodge, the battle plan proposed by the Moxi people reached Hudson, so it was naturally put on hold for the time being.

The siege of Dapace cannot be solved just by thinking about it.

Involving the mobilization of 30 to [-] troops, there are too many things involved, and the time required for preparation is by no means overnight.

As a military leader, Marshal Hodge's understanding of the Principality of Moxi is really too deep.

He is very aware of the current situation, and it is almost impossible to rely on the principality's own strength to keep the foundation.

Although Hudson's proposal is somewhat refreshing, it is indeed a way to save the country.It's all on the verge of life and death, no matter what the effect is, you have to try it first.

The sequelae that may be involved in the future must be able to live into the future.

After solving a problem, Hudson slowly opened the official document from the kingdom.

Rewards are a must. Although there is no way to calculate the military exploits in detail, the kingdom will not be stingy with verbal praise.

After the awards came the official conclusions of the two victories, and the naming was still as lacking in artistry as before.

"The Royal Victory of the Bethel Bear People", the name has no advantages other than being simple and easy to understand.

But Hudson can also understand that everyone's knowledge level is not high these days, and many low-level nobles are semi-literate, let alone serfs.

If it is too complicated, everyone will sound confused, and it will not play a role in publicity.

The official "Bethel Bear People Royal Victory" not only explained the place where the war broke out, but also introduced the objects of the war and the meaning of the war.

As long as the word "imperial court" is added, in the eyes of ordinary people, it must be extraordinary.

In the eyes of most people, it is far more convincing to lead troops to attack the royal court of the bears and snatch their royal battle flag than to severely damage several orc legions.

Not surprisingly, the qualitative nature of the war is another "turning point" in the war with the Orc Empire.

Frankly speaking, Hudson's scalp tingled when he heard the word "turning point".

There is no way, just after a wave of turning points was announced last time, the teammates immediately sent an epic defeat.

Although the battle situation of the Principality of Orton has not been reported yet, experience tells Hudson that the battle situation there is absolutely impossible to be optimistic.

Maybe it's an avalanche now.There is a high probability that the big victory he just won will be buried by the failure of his teammates.

Deep down in his heart, Hudson has secretly prayed that the bad news will come later, otherwise it will make everyone connect the two things together, and it will be unclear.

……

In the Principality of Orton, the bad news finally reached the capital, and it came with the news, as well as the army of orcs on their way.

Like a bolt from the blue, the high-level officials of the Principality of Orton were stunned.Although everyone didn't have much confidence in their own army to stop the orc army, the speed of the collapse came too fast.

Anyway, they have to resist for a few days to prove that they have also played a role.According to the current situation, even if the Human Race Alliance regains the lost ground in the future, nothing will happen to them.

Weakness is the original sin. Even if there is a layer of rules on the outside, the law of the jungle is still followed in the essence of the Aslant Continent.

"The orc army is coming, what should we do?"

Orton XIX asked in panic.

As a salted fish monarch, he has never been interested in this kind of fighting.Now that the enemy is approaching the city, I naturally don't know how to deal with it.

The performance of the ministers was not much better.The greatest value of the front-line army is that it delayed the advance speed of the orc army with routs.

It's not that there is no effective resistance, but under the general trend of the collapse of the army, any personal efforts are in vain.

In the final analysis, there are still too few elites and too many recruits.The few soldiers who can fight have no chance to perform under the drag of their teammates.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we can only prepare for the defense of the capital.

Either way, we'll have to fight the orcs and prove the duchy's indomitable spirit. "

Prime Minister Jacob said bravely.

It's hard to hear, but it's also reality.If they don't show off on the battlefield, they won't be able to hang out in the noble circle in the future.

Not only them, but the nobles of the entire Orton Principality will die.

In many cases, it doesn't matter if you lose a battle. If you lose a battle under the absolute strength gap, no one will laugh at it.

The key is how to lose.

This kind of collapse at the first touch, and losing the city and losing ground under fierce resistance, are completely two concepts.

In a world of great conflict, nobles who cannot protect one side are cancerous to the human race.

The prime minister made it clear that he was going to die, and many of the ministers' expressions darkened, but no one proposed to run away after all.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to move their capital and run away, but the current situation doesn't allow them to leave.

At this point, all the nobles of the Principality of Orton have no way out.

If they still can't show one or two in the next battle, the pack of wolves will not let them go.

Once he backs down, the status of the nobleman of the Dukedom of Orton in the future will no longer be an honor, but a joke to be ridiculed by others.

Even if you can't beat the orcs, you can only bite the bullet.The only thing that can wash away the shame is blood.

If you don't have enough strength, you can only show your tragic hero's side and win sympathy in the noble circle.

Compassion can't be eaten, but compassion can make the major forces leave a bowl of soup for the families behind them when they attack.

"Where are our reinforcements?"

Orton XIX asked with concern.

Anyway, since you can struggle, you must struggle.

It is true that the army of orcs came aggressively, but those who came were all elites, and they were not necessarily willing to use them to attack the city.

"Your Majesty, the call for help has just been sent out, and the countries have not yet responded.

Considering the problem of distance, the reinforcements from most countries cannot quench their thirst near them.

Among the countries bordering us, the Mosi people can't take care of themselves.The small countries in the west have limited strength, and they can't be counted on.

The only ones who have the strength to lend a helping hand now are the Warhammer Kingdom.

It's just that their performance in this war is not active, and it may not be easy to get their reinforcements. "

Dubs said worriedly.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.As the foreign minister of a small country, Dubs has always been under pressure.

It is still barely able to maintain daily international relations.Now if you want countries to send real reinforcements, it is definitely not something that can be done in a few words.

"Issuing a call-up order, let all the nobles of the principality gather in the capital, and fight to the death with the orcs!

As for the others, they will not be able to play any role if they stay, so let them escape by themselves! "

Orton Nineteenth said cruelly.

There is no hope of keeping the entire principality, so the only priority is to keep the capital.

In a sense, this is also a covert political exchange.

Let the nobles abandon their territories and run over to participate in the battle to defend the capital, in exchange for the legal evacuation of their families.

Before Orton XIX's order spread, the refugee wave started ahead of schedule.

Knowing the brutality of the orcs, people from all over the Principality of Orton have already started to flee first without any organization.

Those who were wealthy left in a carriage, while those who were poor took all their belongings with one parcel.

Except for some conscientious nobles who are still maintaining order, the social order in most parts of the Principality has collapsed.

Countless crimes are constantly being staged in this suffering country.

……

Fleeing is also very particular. After seeing the horror of the orc army, everyone knows to choose a powerful country even if they are fleeing for their lives.

As a good neighbor, the undefended Warhammer Kingdom naturally became the first choice for fleeing.

The influx of countless refugees caused the mentality of the nobles in the border area of ​​the Warhammer Kingdom to collapse.

Forcibly expelling refugees is not in line with the spirit of nobility.If it gets out, it will affect your reputation.

Donate generously, and your own pockets are not so bulging.Faced with a steady stream of refugees, there is no way to save them.

As a last resort, everyone can only resort to bad tactics to lure the refugees to the hinterland of the kingdom.

If a family of nobles can't bear the flood of refugees, they will take everyone to bear it together.

They were all forced out, and the Terran Alliance has regulations: In wars against alien races, all countries have the obligation to provide assistance to the belligerent countries.

This also includes provisions for aiding refugees.

Although the enforcement is not very strong, the regulations are regulations after all, and they still need to be followed on the surface.

Especially the Warhammer Kingdom is now one of the belligerent countries. Once the orcs come, they also need the assistance of all countries.

If you make a principled mistake at this time, you will encounter trouble later, and it will be difficult to get help from other countries.

Under the layers of conduction, the trouble soon fell into the hands of Joseph II.

"Rescue refugees?"

It is a pity that His Majesty the Great King is busy considering the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield.

The elongated front of the orc army also means that the border between the Warhammer Kingdom and the orcs has been elongated.

"After all, I still can't hide!"

Joseph II said depressedly.

Since the outbreak of the war, he has saved a lot of face for the orcs.It's a pity that these guys didn't appreciate it at all, and pointed the butcher's knife at them.

"Your Majesty, sooner or later the kingdom will face the invasion of the orc army. It's just that the behavior of the Mossi and the Ortons is too useless, which makes this war advance.

Judging from the trajectory of the orc army, it is almost certain that they will use the Principality of Orton as a platform to launch an attack on us.

Influenced by the long-term and friendly relations of the Principality of Orton, the kingdom did not invest too much energy on the western border.

According to the current situation, the orc army will definitely invade the kingdom within two months or ten days.

It is too late to build a complete line of defense.

For the current plan, the only way is to deploy a few more temporary lines of defense to resist the slowing enemy's attack speed step by step. "

Marshal Borg said solemnly.

It's not that he lacks strategic vision and didn't consider the defense of the western border in advance. It's mainly because the kingdom's financial, manpower, and material resources are limited.

Just to build the line of defense with the Principality of Moxi, the Kingdom of Warhammer mobilized 50 workers, almost reaching the limit of the kingdom.

In the relatively safe western region, defense issues can only be dealt with later.

Apart from issuing an order to strengthen the guard to the nobles on the border, the Kingdom of Warhammer was simply unable to give more support.

The original plan was to wait until the fortifications in the dangerous area were almost built, and then organize people to build a defense line in the west of the kingdom, but unfortunately the enemy came too fast.

"It's okay to build a temporary defense line. However, the military has to speed up, and it is necessary to complete the construction of the temporary defense line before the orc army launches an attack.

Insufficient manpower, let the nobles on the border find a way.Don't they complain about the influx of refugees every day, so let them organize refugees to build fortifications.

It just happens to restrain people in the border area, so as to prevent them from wandering around and affecting the law and order in all parts of the kingdom. "

Joseph II said indifferently.

In the absence of enough castles and strongholds to accommodate refugees, confining people to the front line is to send their heads to the butcher's knife of the orcs.

Everything is for the good of the kingdom.If you are unable to solve the troubles caused by refugees, you can only solve the troublesome refugees.

……

"Your Excellency, there is a Griffin Rider outside who claims to be a member of the Hollisle family and has brought a letter from Miss Melissa."

As the general in command, Hudson can barely be regarded as a high-ranking general now.Under normal circumstances, strangers are not eligible to seek a meeting.

But the current situation is special, the nobles in the southeast province all know his relationship with Melissa.

Everyone dared not suppress the letter sent by the coach's fiancée.

"Have you verified the identity of the visitor?"

Hudson asked concerned.

As a cautious commander, he would not easily give strangers a chance to get close.Especially at this time, the letter came too coincidental.

Although he didn't have much contact with Melissa, he still had some understanding.Under normal circumstances, his fiancée would not mobilize people for a letter.

The Holliser family has a profound heritage, but they still don't have the ability to train griffins.The only few Griffin cavalry in the family were traded from the royal family at a high price.

This kind of long-distance and dangerous mission, not to mention a noble lady, even if Viscount Oran wants to call it, he must weigh one or two.

"I've confirmed that the person who came here is indeed a member of the Holliser family. Not only did he match the code word, but someone in the army knows him."

Tom said with certainty.

After getting a definite answer, Hudson waved his hand and said, "Since there is no problem with him, let's bring him here!"

In war, there is not so much tenderness.Even if it is a general in command, it is very difficult to communicate with his family.

Official documents can be sent to the kingdom by the Mosi people, but private letters from home will not work.

It's not that they are afraid of being used for private use, but the number of griffin cavalry is too small to be enough.

It is normal for a messenger to send a message, and it will be delayed for a month.With such a long time interval, the content of the letter has become old news.

The most important thing is that Hudson took the lead, and all the nobles in the expeditionary army will follow suit. I am afraid that the soldiers who specialize in sending letters will have three digits.

"Your Excellency, Miss Melissa and the Patriarch have specifically confessed that this secret letter can only be opened by you personally."

While speaking, the visitor had already handed over the letter.It's just that Hudson didn't reach out to pick it up in a hurry, but released a magic to make the letter suspend in the air.

After confirming that there was no problem, he slowly opened the letter.After a while, Hudson said slowly:
"Go back and tell Viscount Oran that I already know the matter. It's just that the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and the real chaos has just begun, so it's not appropriate to act rashly for the time being.

I will explain the rest in a letter, and you will rest in the city for a day, and help me bring a few letters back by the way. "

After a pause, Hudson ordered again: "Tom sent an order to block the news about today's affairs."

It's not that the matter is shady, the main reason is that after the news spreads, a bunch of nobles will run over with family letters.

Although the Griffin is a monster, its level is not very high.If there are too many letters, it will be embarrassing to find that you can't carry them.

What's more, the nobles of the expeditionary army are distributed among the six provinces.This communication work is also a big project.

Using the resources of the Holliser family as favors, it is impossible for them to have no objections.

Hudson would not do such a bad guy.

Picking up the pen and about to write, Hudson suddenly found that he didn't know how to write.

He understood what the Holliser family meant, but he felt that there were not enough radish holes in front of him, and he couldn't guarantee that his family would be able to fill them up, so he wanted to dig a few more holes.

The problem is that the great nobles are not fools. It is a miracle that a fool like Duke Liufeng can meet one. It would be too whimsical to expect all the great nobles to be of this level.

If the hoe is swung correctly, the hole will be dug down.If the hoe is swung sideways, it is likely that it is your own foot that digs down.

It would be a tragedy not to kill someone, but to provoke an enemy to the family.

In previous battles, there was no shortage of things where teammates pitted each other.But this kind of thing is not now, but during the big counterattack.

The overall situation on the battlefield has been decided, even if a few families are killed, it will not affect the overall situation of the victory of the war, so everyone has the mind to engage in internal fighting.

Generally speaking, in this kind of mutual pit game, nobles who are good at military command can often have an advantage.

The worst ones are usually military rookies. Many times they don't know what happened, and they are sold out in a daze.

What's even worse is that someone gave me a slap in the face, and I don't know who did it.

Originally, Hudson was not prepared to get involved in such a bad thing, but judging from the current situation, it seems that he still can't avoid it.

It was okay when we were in the Principality of Moxi. Everyone did not get the same piece of cake, and there was no conflict of core interests.

For a foreign general like him who can affect the development of the situation, it is too late for everyone to win him over, and they will not offend him at all.

Once they return to China to participate in the counterattack against the orc empire, the situation will be different.

In the case of a serious shortage of radish pits, in addition to pitting the great nobles in front of them, they also had to pit potential competitors.

In the face of interests, perhaps Hudson himself can remain rational, but there is no guarantee that others will be equally rational.

Pick up the pen and write it down again, and a letter will be completed soon.
