Chapter 271 Potential Opportunities

Canglan City, Emerald Palace.

The battle to break out of the siege started, and all the high-level leaders of the Alpha Kingdom were anxiously waiting for the final result.

This path is chosen by themselves, and no matter what the consequences are, they have to bear it by themselves.

Not only the elite of the family are on the front line, but also their most valued juniors.

Theoretically speaking, the worst situation of breaking out now is nothing more than a serious loss of vitality.Soldiers may not be able to bring them out, but there is a high probability that the children of the family can save a life.

Even though he has seen strong winds and waves, he still can't help worrying when things come to an end.Compared with the ministers, Caesar III was much calmer.

Maybe this calmness is pretended, but as long as it can be pretended for a lifetime, it is no different from the real one.

"Your Majesty, good news!"

"The Terran Alliance meeting officially made a decision to expand the war. The second batch of expeditionary forces has been finalized, and all parties will send a total of 100 million troops.

Different from the previous delay, this time the major forces promised to start organizing and mobilizing immediately from the day the alliance decision was made.

Troops will be dispatched within half a month at the latest, and it is expected that reinforcements from all walks of life will arrive in our country one after another in the next three months to one year! "

Earl Francis' words shocked people, and then returned to anxiety.

It is indeed good news for the Human Race Alliance to be highly efficient once in a while. Unfortunately, this good news is not what everyone wants most.

But it's normal to think about it. If the news of the Northern Expeditionary Army's breakthrough hadn't been confirmed, the efficiency of the alliance might not be so high.

Regardless of the situation of the breakout, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be severely injured.The three most powerful countries in the north have all been weakened, and if it continues to drag on, there may be big troubles.

As the overlord of the mainland, you can fail, but you must not show signs of decadence.Even if it's just a hint of decline, that's not okay.

The Alpha Kingdom's vitality was seriously injured, and the next thing to do was to let the reinforcements who arrived in the early stage go to the top first.

Nominally, the first batch of reinforcements is 30, but because some human forces are too far away, there are still many reinforcements on the way.

The total number of reinforcements that actually arrived was only 25.

In case the orcs break the jar and launch an attack regardless of their strength, this little force is not enough.

Even with the remnants of the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi, it would be difficult to stop the orcs' advance.

Once the defense line is broken by the enemy, the small northern countries behind will have no hope at all.The foundation of the human race in the northern continent will be severely damaged by this.

How could the overlord of the mainland not be hated?
Once this kind of tragedy happens, the script of the human race that all races in the mainland join forces to invade can be picked up again.

"Thank you, Earl Francis. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done a good job this time. With this good news, even if the frontline battle is not satisfactory, it can stabilize people's hearts."

While speaking, Caesar III deliberately glanced at the officials.

The king can punt in his belly, but the king also has a bottom line.Being forced into the palace by a group of great nobles in the kingdom, no matter how pregnant she is, she will remember it in her heart.

Especially for a hero like Caesar III, he valued his own authority very much.

He thought that he had conquered all parties and firmly controlled the kingdom, but the reality gave him a slap in the face.

When all the great nobles are in the same position, he is nothing as a king.No matter how powerful the political skills are, they can't hold back the collusion of the ministers.

On the surface, Caesar III chose to be kind, but deep down in his heart, there was a strong sense of crisis that couldn't go away.

The ministers have already tried the sweetness of joining forces, who can guarantee that there will be no next time?
Although they didn't know what Caesar III was thinking, everyone still chose to keep their heads down with a wink.

Teaming up to lift the king, theoretically speaking, there is no problem at all, but in actual operation, we will see who can do it.

There are also many contradictions within the noble group, especially when encountering Caesar III, a king who is good at digging pits and mines, the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are divided into multiple interest groups.

Among other things, it is impossible for the Koslow family represented by Hudson to reconcile with the Lochnard family.

Although such feuding families are rare in the kingdom's aristocratic circles, there are not a few families that turned their faces because of interests.

In many cases, the relationship between everyone cannot be eased if you want to ease it.

Face is a problem, trust is a bigger problem, and interest is an unsolvable problem.

"Report!"

"Report!"

The voice from outside the hall door broke the tense atmosphere in the hall and mobilized everyone's emotions again.

"finally come!"

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of the final result, it is better than suffering all the time.

"The front line urgently reports that after a day and a night of melee, the Northern Expeditionary Army has broken through the enemy's first blockade.

It's just that the loss was a bit heavy, and many troops were dispersed, and the number of people cannot be counted at present.

In particular, the loss of high-level officers was particularly serious, and many senior generals of the kingdom, including Marshal Campbell, were killed in battle..."

Before he could finish speaking, the messenger passed out, and only then did everyone discover that there was an arrow sticking out of the man's back.

"Taylor, hurry up and save someone!"

Letting the archbishop of the kingdom take action and rescue a soldier who delivered the information is also considered a broken record.

But at this critical moment, Caesar III couldn't care less about the rules.

It is not so easy to pass the information back under the blockade of the orcs.

Even if all the griffin cavalry were sent, it would be a narrow escape.

He stepped forward to check and released a holy light spell. Archbishop Tai Lun shook his head slightly and said: "His body is very weak now, and he is not suitable for forcible treatment, otherwise the loss of lifespan will be very serious.

I've helped him stabilize his injury, let's take him down to rest first!It is estimated that it will take several hours before he wakes up. "

Obviously, this result is not what everyone wants.They want to know more about the front line than the life and death of a Gryphon Rider.

Archbishop Tai Lun seemed completely unaware of everyone's eager gazes.Or in other words, feeling it and pretending not to know it.

He doesn't care what happens to others, but for himself, Tai Lun still keeps his heart.

It was this original intention that made him the archbishop of the kingdom.

If it was the same as the great nobles in the country, Caesar III would not dare to push him to the top.

"Take him down to rest!"

Caesar III said in low spirits.

Now all he could think about was the death of Marshal Campbell.

Putting aside personal feelings, as the head of the kingdom's military, Marshal Campbell is an important pillar for him to control the kingdom's army.

Although as a king, he would not pin his hopes on one person, but the spare tire was far worse than Marshal Campbell in terms of ability and prestige.

In peaceful times, the requirements for military command capabilities are not high, and this is not a big problem.

It is a pity that it is now a time of war, and Caesar III dare not appoint a commander who lacks ability and prestige.

Unlike the nobles of the kingdom who almost poured out their nests in order to compete for the fruits of victory, Caesar III also left a spare part.

After all, among the seven provinces that were taken back this time, three of them were formerly directly subordinate to the royal family.This cake is enough for the royal family, there is no need to compete with everyone.

According to the plan, as long as this loot is digested, the power of the royal family will be directly multiplied, and his control over the kingdom will be further improved.

It is a pity that the plan did not catch up with the changes. The death of Marshal Campbell greatly reduced the influence of the royal family in the army.

In the ensuing battle, he had to rely more on the great nobles in the country.

After all, military talents who can command millions of troops are not something you can have if you want to.

……

The king is struggling, and Hudson, who is far on the front line, is also having a headache.Don't look at his straightforward refusal, but when it comes to specific actions, he is still preparing to meet the kingdom's army that broke out.

It is impossible to run hundreds of miles away to meet them, but within a range of one hundred and eighty miles, he still has to reach out to help.

After all, it is the military power of the kingdom, and every point that can be saved is a point.At this juncture, picking up one more soldier will reduce the pressure on the military in the future.

"Bear Stearns, you said that a major change occurred within the orc army?"

Hudson asked in surprise.

The scouts sent out never returned, including two nobles with flying monsters.As a last resort, I can only ask Bear Stearns to take a trip.

The Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, and the news of Marshal Campbell's death did not surprise him, but the internal changes in the orc army caught Hudson's attention.

Intuition told him that this might be an opportunity.

"What do you mean by that, am I that kind of unreliable bear?"

Bear Stearns said with a displeased face.

Originally Hudson wanted to nod and say yes, but seeing the serious expression on the cub's face, he finally held back.

"Tell me more specifically, what happened in the orc army?"

Hudson changed the subject.

Reason told him, don't try to argue with the brat, or he might pester you endlessly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that a group of orc tribes quit and broke away from the orc army.

It is estimated that there is one-third of the total strength of the orc army!
In addition to the five royal families, there are all kinds of messy races, and it is estimated that they have fallen out. "

After hearing Bear Stearns' answer, Hudson was taken aback.

One-third of the troops were reduced at one time, even if all the cannon fodder troops left, it would greatly weaken the strength of the orc army.

Even if the elite troops are not affected, the question is, are the five royal families willing to fight with their own direct descendants?

"The orcs didn't send troops to intercept them?"

Hudson asked expectantly.

Deep down, he already expected the orcs to fight.No matter who wins or loses, as long as this kind of civil war is ignited, it will deal a heavy blow to the orc empire.

"I don't know what's going on now. Anyway, when we left just now, the two sides hadn't fought yet."
