Chapter 653 Black Hand
Blackstone Mountains, Hundred Mile Corridor.

The senior executives of Giant Foot Centipede are gathering together to discuss the aftermath, and the Centipede soldiers guarding outside are also worried.

The first battle into the surface world was a clean loss, and everyone knew that the future prospects of the race were worrying.

“This defeat is mainly my responsibility.

Rushing to launch an attack before knowing the strength of the enemy was the core reason for the defeat.

However, compared to the failure of the review, what is more important is the strength shown by the enemy! "

Marshal Centipede spoke first.

The decision to attack was decided by the clan, but it was he who was responsible for commanding the battle. The responsibility for defeat must be shouldered, but it cannot be shouldered entirely. This requires political wisdom.

"Marshal Howell, testing the Alpha Kingdom is a decision we made together, and the responsibility for the defeat should be shared by us.

The main reason for the failure of this war was that we were too arrogant and took it for granted that the strength of the divided human kingdom was not something to be afraid of.

The surface world is different from the inner earth world, and many previous concepts are not applicable here.

In the inner earth world, although our giant centipede clan is not the top clan, we can at least rank among the top ten.

The strength gap between the various races is not huge. Even if we encounter several top clans, we still have a certain ability to protect ourselves.

The continent of Aslant is different. The major forces here are even more disparate in strength.

It's just a kingdom in the human world, but it has strength comparable to, or even surpassing, ours.

It's enough to suffer a loss and be fooled once. The next priority is to figure out the situation of the major forces on the mainland as soon as possible! "

King Centipede said with a serious face.

Victory is the easiest thing to lose. The success in the inner earth world in recent years has caused the Giant Foot Centipede family to lose their sense of crisis.

Including himself, he was also addicted to the glory of victory.This battle was a miserable defeat, but it also woke up the lost Giant Foot Centipede clan.

"Your Majesty, although we suffered a defeat, we also captured several nobles from the human world.

From their mouths, we initially understood the distribution of forces in the Aslant continent. Unfortunately, these guys were not of high status and the information they knew was all explicit.

From the information obtained from the prisoners, we can conclude that the failure of this attack was not unfair at all!

The southeastern province is relatively remote geographically, but this province is the province with the strongest overall strength in the Alpha Kingdom.

There are two great nobles entrenched here, namely the well-established Dalton family and the newly rising Koslow family.

Especially the Koslow family, this generation gave birth to a great man, the Dragon Knight who appeared that night.

It is said that this person has shown extraordinary talents since he was born, and he was favored by fate as he grew up.

The first time he led troops to counter a rebellion, he won the favor of the Earth Bear; when he went on an expedition against the Orc Empire, he was recognized by the dragon as his master.

Hudson himself also has extraordinary talents and is the youngest sanctuary in the Aslant continent.

Apart from luck and cultivation talent, what this person is most powerful about is fighting with soldiers.

Since his debut, he has been able to win a decisive victory no matter how strong the enemy he encounters.

The classic battles he commanded were collected by major forces in the mainland and compiled into teaching materials to train future generations.

It is said that the Southeast Province ten years ago was just a prosperous province of the Kingdom of Alpha, and its military strength was only at the middle to lower level of many provinces in the Kingdom.

The situation continued until the rise of Hudson, and the military strength of the Southeast Province or the entire Alpha Kingdom increased dramatically.

In the end, under the leadership of Hudson, three major battles were launched and the powerful enemy Orc Empire was defeated, doubling the territory of the kingdom.

He himself was awarded the title of Marshal of the Human Race by the Human Race Alliance for his many achievements in defeating foreign races. He is also the only recognized Marshal among the Human Race now!

There are many more legendary stories about Hudson, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

The titles he is now recognized for include: the strongest man in the continent, the first commander in chief in the continent, and the first magic pharmacist in the continent.

In the last battle, the enemy's eighth-level powerhouse was able to hold back our sanctuary because he took the magic potion he refined.

Even if the energy in the body is exhausted, it can be restored instantly after taking the medicine, with almost no side effects!
......"

After hearing Marshal Howell's explanation, all the Centipede executives were dumbfounded.

The fairy tale sounds good, but if it happens to you, it will be very fatal.

If Hudson is really as good as the captives say, the future of the giant centipede family is bleak.

"impossible!

Marshal Howell, it is so fake that so many things happened to one person!
The road to becoming a strong man requires hard work, and magic pharmacists also require a lot of time.

Taking these two into consideration, he is still the No. 1 general in the mainland. This is too magical.

Could it be that his victory was all achieved by his own hands?

Hudson himself is a strong man in the sanctuary, and he also has an artifact in his hand. With the help of the Dragon King and the Bear King, it is enough to affect the outcome of the local battlefield! "

The white-bearded old man on the side immediately questioned.

Centipede always prefers to believe what is within the scope of its own cognition. Anything beyond its cognition is heresy.

In fact, the fact that Hudson's legendary story can be widely accepted by all ethnic groups in the mainland is also the result of step-by-step preparation.

It progressed time and time again, and finally it became a legend silently.

The greatest advantage of being successful is that when a person stands in a certain place, the enemy will tremble; when a commander's flag is raised in the camp, the enemy's morale will be low.

Especially on the prairie, as soon as they see the dragon-bear battle flag, the orc tribe immediately flees.

The Giant Foot Centipede clan was not affected because they had no idea who Hudson was.

If you have heard these legendary stories, the next time the two armies meet, your morale will automatically be -1.

"Prime Minister Jawat, I hope this is false, but after interrogating many prisoners, the final results are similar.

What I said is relatively objective and based on facts.

The legendary stories about Hudson are actually much more exaggerated than these.

You can't feel this person's influence in the military without being on the battlefield.

We had been fighting fiercely with the enemy for several hours that night. The soldiers on both sides were very tired and were only supported by willpower.

As a result, as soon as Hudson appeared on the scene, the exhausted defenders were instantly resurrected with full health, as if they were tireless.

I witnessed with my own eyes the madness of the human soldiers charging. Once they have experienced that scene, no one will want to do it again! "

Howell said with lingering fear.

In the inner earth world, he has also seen many crazy scenes, but they were all controlled by evil methods.

This time is different!
The defenders' crazy counterattack was completely sure that they would win.What is in front of them is no longer the enemy, but the military exploits waiting for them to harvest.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more solemn. Unfortunately, they were kicked into the biggest iron plate. This luck was not going to make it easy for them.

The mere loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is still acceptable to Giant Foot Centipede. The key is that the losses in this wave are all elites.

Especially the loss of high-end combat power cannot be made up for in a short time.

No one can even think of the subsequent counterattack.There was an iron plate that I didn't know I bumped into before, but now I know it's an iron plate and if I kick my foot up again, I'm really seeking death.

"Okay, now the situation has changed and the original plan has been cancelled.

Judging purely from the intelligence collected, our military strength is higher than that of the Southeast Province, but this is only a province of the Alpha Kingdom!
In addition to this province, there are more than 40 other provinces.

A country where all the people are soldiers, and which is constantly at war with foreign nations, how can other provinces be so weak no matter how weak they are!

From now on, we will be on the defensive on the northern front and then wait for the situation on the mainland to change.

Although the human race is a dominant family, other forces in the Aslant continent are not weak either.

The entrance to the center of the earth is open, which is the best opportunity for the anti-human alliance to launch a counterattack.If they miss this time, their fate will be to wait to be annexed by the human race.

First, we need to find ways to contact the big clans in the surface world to seek support. The anti-human camp in the northern continent is not weak. This is our best opportunity! "

King Centipede's direct decision ended the debate, but everyone's heart was still heavy.

The giant-footed centipede family also had a difficult fate. They finally came to the surface world and were directly sandwiched between two human kingdoms, surrounded by monsters.

Just as he exposed his tentacles to the outside world, he kicked up the hardest iron plate.

If the previous temptation was not directed at the Alpha Kingdom, but southward to the Hessian Kingdom, the current situation would never be so bad.

……

Emerald Palace.

Caesar IV is lazily basking in the sun, and it can be seen that he is in a very good mood now.

The kingdom suddenly added three entrances to the center of the earth, which should have been a troublesome thing, but the good news came so quickly.

It was only at night that I received the news that the southeastern province had been invaded by the earth's inner race. As soon as I woke up from my sleep the next day, I received the good news.

The matter was resolved before reinforcements or anything could be dispatched.

The younger brothers are so capable, it’s easy to be the boss.

The subsequent battle issues were directly ignored by Caesar IV.

If the enemy can still break through under the personal guard of their own marshal, then the inner earth race will be too terrifying!

There is no doubt that it is impossible to raise such a powerful dragon in the barren inner earth world.

All the powerful men in the Holy Domain fell on the battlefield. He didn't believe it if the enemy didn't work hard.

Judging from the data in the battle report, the enemy must have been severely beaten this time and will never be so aggressive next time.

The Southeast Province did not need reinforcements, the kingdom's troubles were directly reduced by one-third, and Caesar IV did not panic in the remaining two places.

The kingdom's standing army has not been sent out, but the nobles from the surrounding provinces have sent troops for reinforcements. We will just wait for the battle report later.

It's useless to worry about specific military commands, because the people below won't listen at all.

At the beginning, Caesar IV was still aggrieved, but as time went by, he gradually got used to it.

Relax your mind and the world suddenly becomes better.

"Your Majesty, this is a new round of noble canonization lists, as well as the specific division of fiefdoms.

The military and government have already verified it. Can you see if there is anything else that needs to be modified? "

The words of Prime Minister Marquis Delgado rang in his ears, and a new job was about to begin again. Caesar IV stretched himself and said: "I understand.

Put the information here first, I will approve it as soon as possible! "

Both the military and the government have verified it. It is not just a verification, but it represents a compromise between the major forces in the kingdom on the canonization list.

Theoretically, the king has the power to reset the situation. In fact, the extent to which Caesar IV could change it was not very large.

It’s okay to pick a few that you don’t like and kick them out, or to add a few barely qualified cronies, but if there are more, you’ll get into trouble.

In fact, Caesar IV did a very good job in canonizing nobles.Apart from occasionally adjusting the location of the fiefdom, almost nothing happened.

There is no such thing as placing cronies!

The front line is not the rear. If you don't have any ability to get past, you will just contribute to the enemy's success.

Even if he was taking care of his cronies, it was because he had made military exploits on the battlefield and proved his ability that Caesar IV dared to reuse him.

"Your Majesty, in addition to canonizing noble lords, the current international situation has also gradually changed.

The number of entrances to the center of the earth is increasing, as if someone deliberately opened the seal and released these ugly guys.

It is said that someone has discovered the aura of a strong elf near the entrance to the center of the earth, and it is suspected to be the work of the elves.

The Alliance has been paying close attention to it, but unfortunately the number of strong men from the Sanctuary in the clan is too small, and our territory is too large.

Even if there are elves who go deep into the sanctuary, it will be difficult to encounter them, let alone keep them! "

Marquis Omar's complaints made Caesar IV frown.

Many suspicious possibilities are the truth of the matter.

When it comes to understanding the seals at the center of the earth, no force in the entire continent can match the elves, and most of the seals were completed by their ancestors.

From ancient times to the present, the inheritance of the elves has not changed, so it is not surprising to have these sealed information in hand.

When outsiders destroy the seal, the commotion caused is earth-shattering. But if it were them, the masters of the seal, it would be different.

It just so happens that the recent invasion of the inner earth races all occurred within the territory of the human race, and the suspicion of the elves is even greater.

The Human Alliance was only paying attention, rather than forming an investigation team, and probably determined that the mastermind behind the scenes was an elf.

They were originally hostile camps, so it was natural for them to do evil things. There was nothing to say at all.

"If the mastermind behind the scenes is the elves, then it is not groundless for the inner earth race and the alien alliance to jointly fight against the human race.

Forget it, there is no need to delve into this kind of thing.Those elves will never admit anything without evidence.

The current situation is not suitable for starting a war with the elves, so we don't want to cause trouble.

Let me record the accounts with them first, and then slowly settle the accounts with them when our clan unifies the continent! "

Caesar IV said slightly helplessly.

Among the many human nations, the Five-Nation Alliance is the one that least wants to start a continental war now.

Once a war breaks out, the development momentum of the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be affected. The other four countries will become the primary targets of the aliens due to their poor geographical location.

Even if the human race can win the final victory, the five-nation alliance on the front line will become a big loser because of its serious loss of strength.

If you don't want the situation to get out of control, you can only pretend to be confused first.Even if a war is to begin, it must be delayed until the troubles of the races in the center of the earth are resolved.

The problem now is that the Five Nations Alliance wants to delay time, and the alien alliance may not agree.

It is too tempting to join forces with the inner earth races to dislodge the human race from its position as the overlord of the continent and redistribute the cake.
