King

At a critical moment of life and death, the nobles of the Principality of Moxi still have a sense of the overall situation. After receiving the order from the royal capital, all the defenders on Terence's defense line moved into action.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, as long as the defenders move, it will be a check on the orc army.

In order to ensure the safety of the logistics line, the orcs had to send more troops to escort. Some active generals are even on the Orc Empire's wanted list.

But this has no meaning other than venting hatred. The two sides are mortal enemies to begin with, so who cares about the wanted order from the Orc Empire!

As the defender of the Flying Bear's Castle, even though he didn't do anything big, Hudson was still on the list.

There is no way, those people under my command are too professional. All the aristocratic children born in the North have ancestral craftsmanship.

In addition to the legacy of their ancestors, their skilled craftsmanship also played a big role in their ability to obtain titles.

When the Northland was sealed off from the south a few years ago, the private troops brought over one by one were supported by orcs.

Now he is still doing the same job, but his original business was to hunt slaves in the orc empire, and now it has become to create trouble for the orcs.

The orc army seems huge, but it is actually composed of tribes. In terms of internal organization and coordination, it is far inferior to the human race.

There is still hatred between many neighboring tribes. There are a lot of conflicts between different races. Being able to come together is purely due to the pressure of the five imperial courts.

Where there is conflict, there is opportunity.

Hudson didn't know what happened specifically, and he had no interest in delving into it. Anyway, he just asked his men to cause some trouble for the orcs, and then he was put on the top of the wanted list.

The orc's angry performance not only did not scare Hudson, but instead aroused his greater interest.

If he didn't come with a large army, it would be a clear statement to him that his troops were in short supply and he couldn't care less about seeking his bad luck for the time being.

If you don't use it if you have the opportunity, it will be automatically invalidated when it expires. No one can bear the cost of multi-front operations.

The core strategy of the orcs now is to besiege the city of Dapes. If two to three hundred thousand troops are mobilized to besiege the Flying Bear Castle, it will inevitably affect the overall strategic layout.

With the Human Alliance potentially sending troops at any time, the top brass of the Orc Empire had to consider the time effect.

It is completely clear at a glance whether pulling out a nail is more important than destroying a country.

The orcs don't want to be brutally beaten, so the only way is to bring more aliens to the end and share the pressure together.

What they need now is not to strengthen local control, but to make as big a splash as possible to prove to the outside world that the overlord of the human race is corrupt.

…

"Earl, we just received news from the spies that a large orc convoy has returned from the front line.

The spies checked behind the convoy and found that the wheel marks left on the ground were deep, indicating that it must have been loaded with cargo. "

Hearing "Back from the Front", Hudson was instantly interested. The orc army was killing everyone in all directions. In addition to mass killings, there were also housebreaking and robbery.

Compared with the convoys transporting grain and grass to the front line, these convoys full of loot are the real big fat.

It’s just that such fleets are few and far between. When they know they are outmatched, human nobles usually destroy their property in order not to take advantage of the orcs.

Most of the time, what the orc army can loot is too late to destroy, or there is no way to destroy the property.

God will not let you down if you work hard. After asking his men to pay attention for so long, they finally let Hudson wait.

"Tom, notify the expeditionary force to assemble, and order the gryphon cavalry to swing around in the sky to check from a distance whether there is an enemy ambush nearby."

Although fat is good, you still need to be vigilant. The logistics line was constantly harassed, and the orcs became cunning.

Many of the defenders clearly went out to rob the orcs of food and fodder, but because their actions were not careful enough, they ended up becoming the food and fodder of the orc army.

Those who can successfully withdraw their troops are veterans on the battlefield. More troops paid a heavy price for this.

Of course, the operation failed, and Hudson had never heard of a case where the entire army was annihilated.

Obviously, these noble generals who have dealt with orcs for a period of time have now become mature.

Everyone was very vigilant, and when they sensed something was wrong, they immediately led their troops to escape.

Everyone is self-aware, and they will not take out a newly formed regiment whose combat effectiveness has been exhausted and kill them.

The troops that can participate in the operation, even if they are not elite divisions, are semi-elite with mostly veterans.

In addition, the main force of the orcs at the moment is limited, and there are too many things to take care of. A large part of the army responsible for carrying out the ambush mission are miscellaneous soldiers, and their actual combat effectiveness is not very strong, so everyone does not suffer much.

Hudson's operation was no exception, and he only took out troops who could fight. The city defense corps and the newly formed 23rd corps, whose combat effectiveness was exhausted, were all left in the city. They were definitely not trying to eat alone.

As for the Second Army and the Third Army, which had just resumed their formation with a mystery of combat effectiveness, they only mobilized some officers and soldiers to participate in the war.

After all, it was just an ordinary robbery and didn't require too many troops at all. With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in action, the mission of most soldiers is not to rob, but to prepare for reinforcements.

Although the total number of orcs stationed nearby is quite large, at a certain point, there are not many mobile troops in the surrounding area that can be immediately mobilized for reinforcements.

In times of war, the best way to stand out is through military exploits.

The more battle achievements you have in your hands, the tougher you can speak. This is the only opportunity for small and medium-sized nobles to transcend status restrictions and participate in the competition for the right to speak.

The Principality of Moxi is now in an era of war and chaos. It would be a pity not to use his identity as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.

Running to fight the orcs, Hudson was not that stupid. It is still possible to lead a team to rob orcs to make a fortune and use orc heads to gain military merit.

The growth of a famous general is a long-term accumulation process. Except for a few famous battles, most of them are small battles. The key is to fight more.

Every battle is a qualification.

A person who suddenly achieves a great achievement and rises to a high position will arouse the jealousy of countless people; but if a person, after many battles, achieves another great achievement and rises to a high position, everyone will only admire him.

The rise of Moisturizing Silently is something that can be widely accepted by the general public, because it is in line with everyone's understanding and everyone is working hard on this path.

When someone succeeds, it just proves that they are on the right path. This kind of success is an example for everyone to learn from.

Suddenly coming out, this kind of identity transition that does not comply with the rules of the game will naturally be criticized and suppressed by all parties.

In this respect, Hudson is lucky. In the previous two major victories, Crown Prince Caesar was at the forefront, and the bundled political propaganda made it impossible for those who were jealous to start.

After Hudson took over the expeditionary force, although there were no major achievements, the small achievements did not stop.

I go out and kill Orc No. 180 every now and then. I'm embarrassed to publicize it on the stage, but it's very good on my resume.

The wanted order from the Orc Empire was a divine assist. Who dares to say that his military achievements have no weight if he can become the most hated being by his enemies?

If the number of enemies killed is small, it doesn't matter, just add a zero at the end. On the battlefield between humans and orcs, annihilating one hundred and eighty enemies is the same as wiping out eight hundred enemies.

Even if you want to conduct verification, there is no way to do it. On this issue, all the nobles and nobles in the military have vested interests.

Hudson never takes credit for beheadings. Except for the credit for overall command, the rest of the battle credits are all on the heads of the nobles below.

If we were to track down those who pretended to have military merit, the first people to be unlucky would be the following people. Because the merit of beheading can be specifically quantified, but the merit of command is difficult to have specific standards.

When investigated, the most direct charge was negligence, not false military merit.

Such a small crime is not worth mentioning to any noble general with great military exploits.

Not only did he get himself out, but more importantly, Hudson successfully created an image of a "good leader who is not greedy for credit" and also used interests to bind the expeditionary force together.

They were all forced out. Without these methods, it would be almost impossible to integrate an army with complex components in a short time.

The robbery team was gathering, and under the city of Da Pest, more than two hundred miles away, a quiet troop mobilization was slowly beginning.

The number of orc camps is still increasing, but the number of appearances of a few elite legions is getting less and less. Every siege battle is filled with a large number of cannon fodder.

The elite orcs who supervise the battle team have also dropped sharply from the initial tens of thousands to thousands, and a large number of the main forces have suddenly disappeared.

The strange changes in the orc camp quickly attracted the attention of the defenders in the city. Reports were filed all the way, and finally reached the hands of Prime Minister Herceg.

With everyone's joint efforts, King Chris IX was finally rescued, but his body was still terribly weak and he was unable to come out to take charge of the overall situation.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Anyway, Chris IX left all the work of defending Da Pest to a group of princes and ministers, and he stayed behind the scenes to concentrate on recovering from his illness.

"A few elite orc regiments outside the city seem to have disappeared out of thin air. Didn't you notice it?"

Prime Minister Herceg asked in disbelief.

You must know that there are as many as eight main orc legions gathered under the city of Da Pest. These elite legions can stir up trouble no matter where they point their troops.

"Dear Prime Minister, the number of Eagle Men is dozens of times greater than ours, and the orc army trapped us in the city before it could be mobilized.

Our Griffin Cavalry Regiment sent people out several times for reconnaissance, but in the end they never returned.

What we can be sure of now is that the Orcs' Behemoth Legion has not been mobilized, and the Eagle Legion has also left about two to three thousand people.

About six thousand Yingmen soldiers and the main forces of the other three imperial courts temporarily disappeared from our sight. Leaving with them were four ordinary werewolf cavalry regiments.

There are less than fifty gryphon cavalry left in the city. It is too risky to break through the enemy's blockade during the day, so it is best to wait until nightfall.

If you want to receive information, you have to wait until tomorrow night at the earliest. If you want to be quick, you may be able to use some special means to contact the surrounding nobles.

When the orc army moves, it will definitely pass through their territory. As long as you check the location, you can roughly determine the enemy's purpose. "

Kampals said with a helpless expression.

As the leader of the Griffin Cavalry Regiment, he has endured the most severe test every day since the outbreak of the war.

Due to the limited number of griffin cavalry, the Principality of Moxi has always used them as scouts. Even so, it still cannot change the reality of a large number of griffin cavalry losses.

As soon as you close your eyes and open them, bad news comes. The number of gryphon cavalry killed in each battle is not large, usually one or two cavalry are lost. The data is inconspicuous, but the problem is that it is difficult to replenish them.

It is true that the Principality of Moxi is raising griffins, but griffins are not hens and can lay eggs every day. That pitiful fertility, egg production is measured in years.

After finally laying a clutch of eggs, only one or two of the dozens of eggs can hatch. This does not guarantee that all the little griffons will grow up safely.

It’s not that other methods have been tried to improve the hatching rate, but unfortunately they are limited by the laws of the jungle of nature.

Artificially bred griffins have degenerated in many aspects. If the eggs are laid twice and hatched using magical means, the griffons born will continue to degenerate.

It was originally a low-level monster, but after degenerating several times, it became a beast.

We can leave aside the combat effectiveness of the beast griffon for now, but its strength is really not good, and it cannot carry an adult man to fly at all.

Even if you want to hatch them artificially, you can only find wild griffon eggs. This kind of gregarious flying monster usually makes its home on the cliffs deep in the monster mountains.

If you want to steal their eggs, you must first ask the monsters along the way if they are willing to let you pass.

Unless you are extremely lucky, you won't even see the shadow of the gryphon egg, and it will directly turn into the feces of the monster.

The long reproduction process + poor hatching rate restricted the growth of the Griffin Cavalry.

As a result, the individual combat effectiveness of the Griffin Cavalry is obviously stronger than that of the Eagle Men, but they are still always suppressed by the enemy. There is nothing that can be done about the eagles killing the griffins.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, judging from the current situation, the situation in the principality has actually deteriorated to the extreme.

No matter where the orc army's goal is, there will be no fundamental difference in its impact on our situation.

Turning around and going back to besiege Terrence's defense line had no real meaning other than a waste of time. There was a high probability that the orcs would not do such a useless effort.

Continuing to move south to occupy more of our territory would be worse than laying siege to Da Pest, which would have a greater impact. As long as our royal capital is captured, the remaining territory of the principality will fall.

Then the remaining options are just a few neighbors. Whether the orcs choose to attack the Warhammer Kingdom or the Alpha Kingdom does not make much difference to the principality. "

Martins said with an indifferent expression.

The heavy pressure caused the Minister of Military Affairs to lose confidence and embark on a path of ruin.

But after changing his perspective, Martins, who was originally anxious, became calmer.

If you can't stop the movement of the orc army, then you simply don't bother to stop it, just keep Dapes safe.

Even if the main force of the orcs suddenly disappeared, he could not be moved. When you have a calm mind, you will be more able to hit the nail on the head when analyzing problems.

"Your Excellency, it is not completely without influence. If we discover the movement of the orc army, we will know that we will be allies.

If the flames of war burn from our side to their doorstep without timely notification, it will not look good when we meet in the future. "

Foreign Minister Renato said depressedly.

It's easy to deal with it passively, but their Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in big trouble. Compared with its two neighbors, the strength of the Principality of Moxi is still so much weaker than that of its two neighbors.

If you offend someone to death, you will inevitably suffer in the future. Especially now that the strength of the two allies is still there, they have been beaten to the point of paralysis by the orcs first.

In this context, unless you can trick your teammates to death, it is best not to do anything to avoid laying hidden dangers for yourself.
