Chapter 278 Great Injustice

"The last chance, just missed!"

After being rejected by his allies, Duke Daniel couldn't help sighing.

The probability of success of several joint efforts is not high. Without the help of allies, there is no need to even try with the strength of the Yinyue Wolf Clan.

Before he had time to continue his sadness, the emergency call sounded in the camp, pulling Duke Daniel back.

"Duke, something is wrong. The enemy's reinforcements...reinforcements are coming..."

Listening to the scout finished speaking out of breath, Daniel's already cold face became more and more chilly.

Don't think about it so much now.

The 25 troops of the Terran Alliance + the 20 troops of the Principality of Moxi have already arrived at Bauhinia Pass, and it is almost impossible to tear through the enemy's line of defense.

Even if he had the chance to bypass the line of defense, he didn't dare to do it.As a general, you can take risks, but you can't take the army out to die.

Not only was the plan shattered, but there was not much time left for them to hunt down the Northern Expeditionary Army.In at most two days, the real elite of the human race will appear on the battlefield.

The Velociraptor Legion of the Kingdom of Iberia, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Legion of the Frankish Kingdom, the Ground Dragon Legion of the Holy See, the Kingdom of Hesse...

All the extraordinary military units that are famous on the mainland will appear on the battlefield.

Beamon cavalry is number one in the world, that is only for ordinary cavalry.Encountering these behemoth legions is also not enough to watch.

The only good news is that the number of these extraordinary arms is limited, and the cost of raising monsters is high, and the most productive human race cannot be equipped on a large scale.

In fact, the Alpha Kingdom used to have extraordinary troops, but it was finally destroyed under the continuous suppression of the Orc Empire.

The kings of Alpha in the past all wanted to rebuild the extraordinary arms, but unfortunately they were limited by their own financial resources, so they had no choice but to give up in the end.

This is impossible.Since the establishment of the Alpha Kingdom, it has faced the threat of orcs, and the treasury has never been rich.

After finally accumulating some wealth, before he had time to do anything, the orc army came to kill him again.

After tossing and tossing again and again, the Alpha Kingdom is either on the road of repaying debts or on the road of borrowing debts, and has no spare energy to develop extraordinary arms.

However, the number is relatively small.When the extraordinary arms of multiple families and powerful forces come together, the scale effect will be produced.

The Orc Empire also had extraordinary units, but that was only at its peak.In the process of being driven all the way from the center of the mainland to the borderlands, the extraordinary troops in their hands also suffered heavy casualties.

All that remained were just a handful of seeds.Limited by their own financial and material resources, they are no longer able to participate in this extravagant game.

The cavalry advantage is gone, and the air force advantage is also lost.Flying Dragon Cavalry, Pterosaur Cavalry...the familiar names made Duke Daniel frown.

"Pass down the order to let Yingren keep an eye on the movement of Zijingguan. Once the enemy leaves the city, come and report immediately.

Inform all troops to speed up the pursuit of the enemy.By the way, let them gather the team, cancel all military operations below the regiment, and move the troops as close as possible to the central camp. "

This is an order full of contradictions.It is obviously difficult for the "wolves" to speed up the pursuit of the Northern Expeditionary Army and gather the troops.

But there is no way, the best fighter has been missed.If they continue to stay here, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed.

Before the division of troops, perhaps he would have thought of concentrating superior forces and eating up the human reinforcements. Unfortunately, the current situation is clearly the opposite.

It was only some of the cavalry left by various tribes, and the reinforcements who wanted to eat the Alpha Kingdom had to join forces, not to mention the enemy added 45 reinforcements.

With more reinforcements from the Terran Alliance, it is estimated that the Alpha Kingdom infantry corps defending the city will dare to leave the city at this time.

After adding them all together, the total strength is estimated to be over one million, and the overall strength is definitely no less than that of the previous Northern Expeditionary Army.

If the Northern Expeditionary Army was not in a hurry to break through and the two teams joined forces to attack back and forth, the Orc Empire might have already been defeated.

After secretly rejoicing, Daniel's expression became serious again.Reason told him that the hidden dangers in the country must be resolved as soon as possible.

Otherwise, let the race and the rebels collude together, and give them a cooperation from the inside out, then it will really be the end of the calf.

To sow dissension and divide is the usual method of the human race.Under the conspiracy of the human race, the major forces that split are not one or two.

For example: elves.

Before the rise of the human race, although there were races, everyone gathered under the banner of the Elven Queen.

However, with the rise of the human race, internal conflicts in the originally harmonious elves were quickly aroused.

The forest elves, prairie elves, night elves... all became independent, and finally formed a pattern where the three major elf kingdoms stood side by side.

Of course, the elves quarreled, but they usually had a good time, and they exchanged a few words when they met, which was far less bloody than the infighting in the orc empire.

Even an elf empire with full centripetal force can split, let alone an orc empire.It is purely a sieve that leaks air everywhere, and it will fall apart if you are not careful.

If it weren't for this, the five royal families would not often take advantage of the war of invasion to the south to carry out ethnic cleansing internally.

The strength of all races except the five royal families is limited to an extremely low level, and there is no capital to make a fuss at ordinary times. This is the core reason why the orc empire has been able to maintain itself.

……

Sunshine, grasslands, and rippling lake water.In this picturesque land, the two armies finally joined forces in victory.

Seeing a group of old acquaintances approaching, Hudson burst into enthusiasm.

It wasn't that he wanted to gloat, it was mainly that he couldn't help seeing his competitors in such a mess.

"When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears."

From the moist eyes of everyone, Hudson understood the nostalgia.I am really nostalgic, and what I am worried about is-what should I do after returning home.

When starting from the southeast province, a total of 10,000+ troops were assembled. When the army was completed, there were only more than 1000 people left. It was really miserable.

To be precise, there should be more than 3000 people left.Along the way, Hudson continued one after another, and also gathered a lot of routs from the aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern provinces.

If this situation continues, it is estimated that thousands of people will be picked up later.The classic negative teaching material of narrow escape.

If there were no previous mistakes in judgment and the meeting with Hudson was completed two days in advance, the total strength of the aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern provinces might have exceeded ten thousand.

The first to be eliminated on the battlefield were the serf soldiers with poor physical strength and insufficient training, and the elites of each family were the ones who could persist until the end. It hurts to lose even one, let alone lose so many at once.

"Your Excellency, you have traveled all the way, and you have never had a good rest.

The barracks have been prepared in the army, and all the supplies are in the tents. Let's go wash and rest first! "

Hudson said with a smile.

This is not a ridicule. It can be seen from the dark circles under the eyes of everyone that they have suffered a lot these days.

Safe now, a good night's sleep is a must.The caring Hudson will naturally not spoil the scenery by arranging any welcome banquet.

In fact, he never arranged a banquet no matter which aristocratic coalition army he received.

The main reason is that they are too busy with the affairs at hand, and there is no time to make friends, let alone hold a banquet.

If you meet a big aristocrat, you are a familiar face. If you meet a small and medium aristocrat, you might not even see Hudson.

There is no way, everything may be lacking in the army now, but there will be no shortage of nobles.

There are a lot of dukes, marquises, and earls, and there are even two princes of the royal family in the barracks.

In fact, this kind of royal prince is famous and not worth much.In terms of the real power in his hands, it is not as good as a real earl.

Their appearance in the army has more political significance than military significance.It is quite irritating to ordinary soldiers, but in the eyes of the great nobles, it is the same.

A high title is only an honorable status, and it is Marshal Campbell who died in battle who can truly represent the royal family.

If there is no accident, after the end of this war, Marshal Campbell will most likely be posthumously named Grand Duke or Prince by Caesar III.

Frankly speaking, Hudson really admired Caesar III.At the beginning of his succession, he was almost ostracized by the great nobles in the country, but he reversed it.

The prime minister is a member of the royal family, the minister of military affairs is a member of the royal family, and with the death of the head of the army, Marshal Campbell, members of the royal family account for one-third of the core members of the kingdom.

A proper iron triangle controls these three core positions, and the court is basically under the control of the king.

Vaguely, Hudson felt that he seemed to be tossing a little too much.For superiors, loyalty is more important than ability.

Not a direct descendant of a close friend, and wanting to seek the No. 1 position in the army, isn't he deliberately looking for it?
Fortunately, the eastern monarchy is not here to centralize power, otherwise, he, the taboo commander in the army, would have a high probability of "a rabbit dies like a dog" after the war.

If you know it, you know it, and you can't give up the benefits you should get.The big deal is to resign and return to the fief as soon as the war is over, and not stay in the capital to be an eyesore.

This is also the routine operation of the great nobles.If you are not welcomed by the king, you will simply stay away from each other forever.Within the rules of the game, as long as you don't toss, there will be no failure.

The five major families in the Northland are the best example.It is estimated that Caesar III wanted to get rid of them quickly, and the last thing he could do was to suppress them politically.

Relatively speaking, the few of them are still passive. They need the support of the kingdom to keep their own territory, and they must be mixed with domestic political activities.

A southern lord like Hudson has very little dependence on the kingdom, so he can completely ignore the central government.

Deep down, after making the decision not to enter the development of the central government, Hudson felt relieved.

……

"Earl Hudson, long time no see!"

With a simple greeting, Hudson saw Viscount Oran's unnaturalness.After just over a year, the positions of the two parties have been switched, which would be unnatural for normal people.

If it's just an honorary title, it's okay, with the energy of the Holliser family, it's not bad for a virtual title.Even Caesar III was canonized, but was rejected by Viscount Oran.

Everything comes from unspoken rules.

The boss of the southeast province, Pierce, has the title of earl. If the people below dare to surpass, do they still want to hang out in the southeast province?
Taking over the earl's title is equivalent to announcing to the public that he will be tied with Earl Pierce and will no longer hang out with the Dalton family.

Without enough benefits, no one would offend the boss to death for a false name.

Hudson dared to take over the earl's position because he had enough military exploits, and his military strength rapidly expanded. After the war, there is a high probability that he will be able to turn the false title into a real title.

There are real interests involved, even if it offends the Dalton family, it is worth it.

"Your Excellency, what happened on the battlefield, and why are you in such a mess?"

Hudson asked pretending to be puzzled.

After all, he is his father-in-law, so he still has to give him face.In order to cover up Viscount Oran's embarrassment, he decisively chose the method of changing the subject.

"It's hard to explain this matter. Although we were besieged by the enemy, we were able to hold our ground on the whole. Unless the enemy is willing to lose both sides, they will not be able to take us down.

It's all those guys from Beidi, trying to break out of the siege.Everyone was bewitched by them, and after making a series of preparations, they launched a battle to break out.

We tore apart the enemy's blockade.But the days of being chased and killed by enemy cavalry were the beginning of the nightmare, and the army soon suffered heavy losses.

You know what happened next.We could have met earlier, but that Pierce guy thought you would die, so he insisted on taking us away! "

The more Viscount Oran spoke, the angrier he became.

Half of this resentment was directed at the five major families in the Northland, and the other half was directed at Earl Pierce.After being tossed about by the two gangs, the revival of the Holliser family encountered another setback.

In this wave, not only the family's private army led by him suffered heavy losses, but even the forces in the kingdom's standing army were also severely damaged.

The strength in his hands is not enough, and he can't speak forcefully.Next, if you want to plot Fengyun Province, the difficulty has increased by more than one level.

Hearing the expected answer, Hudson wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.A group of southern nobles in the kingdom suffered heavy losses, but the situation of the five major families in the North was much better.

When meeting with Hudson, each family had at least six to seven thousand private troops in their hands.

You know, this is just a private army of their family, not a private army of provincial nobles like the southern nobles.

Coupled with the fact that part of the defeated soldiers can be gathered in the future, it is estimated that the number of private troops surviving from the five major families in the Northland can easily exceed [-].

Compared with these instigators, the southern border nobles whose strength has been severely damaged have become a serious injustice.

Especially the nobles in the southeast province, after stepping on the pit dug by the five major families, they jumped into another pit themselves, they are simply the kings of wronged species.
