The King Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 Unstoppable Mind

  The Principality of Moxi watched the Alpha Kingdom fight fiercely, but there were only a few scattered orc tribes attacking on their own side.

  Looking at the good news from the frontline defenders, Chris IX always felt a little unreal.

   It went so smoothly. In the past, when the orcs came to rob, there was more movement than now.

  No one likes to be beaten. It is a good thing after all that the main direction of attack is not on your side.

   "Order the defenders on the front line to be on strict alert and not to attack without authorization.

  Send people to keep an eye on the movement of the main force of the orcs, and be careful that the enemy will suddenly change the direction of the main attack with a feint shot. "

  As the weakest family among the Three Kingdoms. As a reminder to the Alpha Kingdom, Chris IX dare not take it lightly.

   In case the orc army suddenly turned their guns and gave them a sudden ruthless attack, the Principality of Moxi might become history directly.

  Although it has been operating in the north for decades, it still cannot compare with the Alpha Kingdom in terms of defense capabilities.

  The aristocratic lords of the Principality of Moxi are not the nail households in the Alpha Kingdom who have been hammered by the orcs for hundreds of years and are still strong.

  The battle line collapsed, and the noble castles still persisted until the end of the war, and there were not a few of them in the Alpha Kingdom.

  Certain well-known castles have been besieged dozens of times by orc armies in the past few hundred years, and they still stand in the North.

  When the war was at its worst, it was not uncommon for the capital to fall. It was not once or twice that the capital was temporarily moved to southern Xinjiang provinces to persist in resistance.

  The Alpha Kingdom was able to stand strong because of their rich experience in being beaten.

   Many things are difficult to accept when encountering them for the first time. As long as you experience them more times, you will gradually get used to them.

   As for whether the Principality of Moxi can bear it, Chris IX has no idea at all.

  At the very least, he did not dare to make plans in advance for the collapse of the front line, the fall of the capital, and the relocation of the capital to continue the resistance.

  The plan that can be discussed publicly in the Alpha Kingdom, Chris IX can't even reveal this kind of meaning, otherwise the domestic nobles will be able to fry the pot immediately.

   "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will not be easy for the orc army to sneak attack. The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops is so huge that it is impossible to keep it secret.

   It is not only us who are calm now, but also the Warhammer Kingdom next door.

  The orcs grabbed the Alpha Kingdom and beat them up, probably because of history. They were originally feuds, and the beast kings of all generations had set the goal of destroying the Alpha Kingdom.

   In contrast, the grievances between us and the orcs are not deep. If it weren't for the orc tribes who often went south to rob, there would be no conflicts. "

  Prime Minister Herceg persuaded.

  Although these reasons are not sufficient, there are only so many he can think of. From a military point of view, it must be to pick weak links to break through.

   It is not impossible to gnaw hard bones first. But the problem is that there is a defense line behind the defense line of the Alpha Kingdom, and every noble castle is a ready-made fortress.

  My ancestors have managed the castle for countless years, and even have rich experience in dealing with the siege of the orc army.

  There are nails along the way. If they can't be pulled out, the threat to the army's rear is too great.

  Historically, the army of orcs who bypassed these nails and forcibly moved southward ended in tragedy without exception.

   "Don't worry, how can I be so relieved! Even because of hatred, the orc army recklessly attacked the Alpha Kingdom.

  But after being hit badly, can the orc not learn his lesson?

  Although the Alpha Kingdom lost a large piece of territory in the north during the last war, the border between them and the orcs was also shortened by half.

  Although the orcs are playing fiercely now, in terms of defensive pressure, I am afraid it is far from what it used to be. "

  Chris IX said rather tangled.

   The strength of the allies is definitely a good thing for the overall situation. But if the allies can't make a breakthrough, the enemy will point their guns at them, which is embarrassing.

  The current situation is very obvious. Which country the orc army will make a breakthrough in next will be the most viciously beaten.

  Fortunately, it was able to persist until after the war, and with the support of the nations of the human race, the country was restored. If luck is bad, the royal family will cool down early, and the foundation will belong to others.

   Either a certain noble in the country rises, or it is annexed by a neighboring country. The newly-emerged royal family is at most somewhat related to the former royal family in terms of blood.

  If the king can be replaced, it will be easier for the nobles below to be replaced. If the loss of family strength is too heavy, it is only a matter of time before they are replaced.

  The Warhammer Kingdom on the other side is also not peaceful. There are a few smart people in any country. Even if the king doesn't find the problem, people around him will remind him.

  The collective stupidity of the ruling class is only a small probability event after all. When it comes to matters of life and death, no one dares to take it lightly.

  Even the most optimistic aristocrats can't guarantee that the orcs will continue to fight against the Alpha Kingdom and will not change the direction of attack.

  The only thing that pleased Joseph II was that the orcs were now mainly attacking the rough-skinned Alpha Kingdom, and there was no need for them to send people to help.

  If the target of the beating turned out to be the Principality of Moxi next door, it is estimated that rescue letters would have flooded his desk, urging him to send troops to rescue.

  The lips are cold and the teeth are dead. If any family is broken by the orc army, the enemy can attack them in a roundabout way. The three "bad brothers and bad brothers" will all be unlucky together.

   "What is the reaction of the mainland countries now, have they agreed to send reinforcements?"

   Joseph II asked concerned.

  As the overlord of the mainland in the last era, the orcs are not only the enemies of the Three Kingdoms, but also the enemies of the entire human race. Facing the enemy of the race, it is natural to pull everyone together.

  Theoretically speaking, combining the power of the Three Kingdoms can also fight the orcs to the death. Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, it is only in theory.

   It's not that everyone doesn't work hard, it's that the two sides are facing different situations. The orc army can use the corpses of their companions as rations, but the human army can't be so crazy.

   All the troops that can be mobilized by the Three Studs, the logistical pressure alone can directly cause the front line to collapse.

  Supporting millions of troops to fight has already made the three countries do their best. To train the young and strong from all over the country into an army and send them all to the battlefield is purely talk.

  In the era of no breakthrough in transportation, it is not feasible to mobilize tens of millions of troops to the battlefield.

  The only thing the Three Kingdoms can do is slowly attrition with the Orc Empire. Although there are many cannon fodder troops of the orcs, they still have their limits.

  The ability to reproduce is fast, and it is not enough to be an adult at birth. The cannon fodder is almost consumed, and it is the turn of the elite to go to the battlefield.

   When it was the turn of the direct descendants of the family, the five royal families also needed to feel distressed. For example, the Beamon royal family with the smallest population, once they lose tens of thousands of troops on the front line, their own strength will immediately be shattered.

  The situation of the four imperial courts is better, but overall it is much better. Losing tens of thousands of elites will also hurt; losing hundreds of thousands of elites will also hurt muscles and bones.

   What is fair in the world, while giving these races great power, also weakens their fertility.

  In previous wars, as long as the five royal families suffered heavy losses, the war would end soon.

   It is not even necessary for the five families to be severely injured at the same time. As long as one or two of them suffer heavy losses, they may choose to withdraw their troops.

   There is no such thing as dead knocking. Orcs are not stubborn, if they were so reckless, they would have already become history.

  "National countries have condemned the shameless behavior of the orcs. Some countries have promised to consider providing assistance to our three countries in the near future. The specific actions will have to wait for the next Terran Alliance meeting.

  At the call of the Kingdom of the Franks, each country sent representatives to Lutetia to participate in the 17th Human Race Alliance Conference in July this year to discuss how to deal with the current complicated situation on the mainland.

  According to the information we have collected, in addition to discussing the issue of alien races, the Franks may propose a proposal that is not conducive to the Holy See at the meeting.

  Now they are in a very stalemate with the Holy See. The new Archbishop of the Frankish Region publicly announced that he will not accept any orders from the Holy See, and questioned the legitimacy of Pope Pius VII. "

  After hearing what the Minister of Foreign Affairs said, Joseph was so angry that his beard was about to stand on end. They fought the orcs on the front line, while the human nations behind them watched the fun.

  While talking about support, when it comes to specific actions, everyone pushes back and forth.

   It sounds nice to be discussing and discussing, but it sounds ugly to find an excuse to shirk, not wanting to waste one's own strength in vain.

  It's only March now, and there are still four full months before July. It will take four months for the Human Race Alliance meeting to be held.

  If we wait until all the countries have finished their discussions and come up with a proper plan for dispatching troops, we don't know when we will have to wait.

  Deep in his heart, Joseph II couldn't help but greet his ancestors. Why did you want to watch the show during the last orc invasion, and help the Alpha Kingdom earlier, so as not to put yourself in a dangerous situation!

  Only after experiencing the cruelty of the orc invasion, can you know how good it is to have someone blocking the knife in front. It's a pity that time cannot be turned back, and now the Warhammer Kingdom can only bite the bullet by itself.

   If possible, he would not mind supporting the Alpha Kingdom to regain lost ground. Joseph can guarantee that the nobles of the Warhammer Kingdom will never be jealous this time.

  Especially the group of nobles in the border area, they have been tortured by the orcs in recent decades, and many small and medium nobles are almost unable to support themselves.

  If it weren't for the Warhammer Kingdom also imitating its neighbors and subsidizing the nobles in the border areas, it is estimated that many small and medium nobles who are on the verge of bankruptcy can only leave their territories and run away.

  The situation is so critical, the human race is still busy fighting among themselves. At another point in time, the Franks want to target the Holy See, and he definitely doesn't mind adding fuel to the flames.

   Questioning the pope's illegitimacy is a lot of fun. It would not be a good king if he did not take part in it.

   It involves the struggle between kingship and theocracy. As a king, there is no need to think about which side to sit on.

   But not now, Warhammer Kingdom needs support. Any struggle within the human race will weaken the support of the major forces for them.

  The Kingdom of Alpha and the Holy See fell out, but the Kingdom of Warhammer had not yet broken with the Holy See. Joseph II had to come out and call for a timeout for his own benefit.

  Unfortunately, his right to speak seems to be somewhat insufficient. As one of the top ten kingdoms in the mainland, the Frankish Kingdom is the overlord, the Alpha Kingdom can also be ranked in the top three, but the Warhammer Kingdom is at the bottom of the list.

  Even the title of "Top Ten Kingdoms" was uttered by several of them. In fact, there is still a big gap between the previous kingdoms and the Warhammer Kingdom.

  As for the kingdoms of the people behind, let alone. The water in it is not so big. Being able to call a kingdom does not necessarily mean that it is powerful, but it may also mean that its ancestors are awesome.

   "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will contact the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi to see if the three countries can come forward together and call on them to exercise restraint.

  At this juncture, if the Holy See and the Frankish Kingdom fight, it would be terrible! "

   Joseph II said helplessly.

  I don't know why, but he always feels like he can't finish it. Things on the front line have to be taken care of, issues of allies have to be considered, and even the situation on the mainland has to be worried about.

  The turbulent situation in the mountainous territory made Hudson also have a headache.

  Looking at the kingdom's public battle report, his face was almost green with anger. This kind of **** record, are you embarrassed to take it out for publicity?

  Perhaps in the eyes of others, the orc army is a terrifying, evil, and powerful existence.

   But Master Hudson, who has tens of thousands of slaves, said: Orcs are nothing special.

  If it was as powerful as in the legend, the mountain leaders would have been overthrown by these guys long ago. How could they work honestly?

   As the defensive side, they had a garbage record of 1 to 2, and most of the opponents were a group of cannon fodder troops.

  Hudson doesn't even know how to comment.

   Not boasting, the tens of thousands of slave riots under his own command only need a few hundred elites to suppress them.

  Most orc cannon fodder races have very limited combat effectiveness. Hudson doesn't think that the Orc Empire is capable of equipping all cannon fodder with armored weapons. Maybe some orc cannon fodder still fight with wooden sticks.

  The heavy losses of the defenders obviously cannot be caused by these orc cannon fodder. Then there is a high probability that an encounter will occur, and they will fight against the elite orcs.

   For a moment, Hudson thought of "political needs." It is estimated that the generals on the front line used it as political propaganda in order to fight a good battle.

   It's just that the ideal is full, but the reality is very slapping. The beautiful battle was not fought, but was blasted by the orcs.

  Now I can only hope that the frontline generals can be more rational, and stop doing anything for the sake of military exploits.

  No accidents on the front line, it is the biggest benefit for the mountain leaders.

   It will take a year or two, and when the time comes to go to the battlefield, he, Master Hudson, will be able to take 20,000 well-trained soldiers and horses.

  The military service tasks of the branches of the Koslow family were all transferred to the southeastern province, and all of them were placed on Hudson's head.

  Once it was the turn of the southeast province to go to the battlefield, he would not only have to lead the army in the county to join the battle, but also the troops from all branches of the family had to keep up.

  Considering the different obligations of the provinces, the southeastern provinces are more responsible for providing supplies, and the military service is relatively less. The Koslow family also needs to provide an army of weapons and equipment to compensate the provinces.

   Fortunately, the equipment is only provided according to the standard of ordinary troops, and the armor only needs to account for one-tenth of it. If everyone in the elite troops wears armor, the Koslow family really can't get it together for a while.

  The private army of the family + the private army of the nobles in the county, it is not a problem to gather 20,000 to 30,000 well-trained soldiers and horses. As long as two battles are fought, the survivors are the elite.

   (Note: The Alpha Kingdom counts the number of troops as "soldiers and horses = soldiers + horses", and war horses are also included in Dingkou)

   With so many elites following, not only the safety factor will be improved, but the right to speak will also be greatly increased. In important military meetings on the front line, they can also get the right to speak.

  As long as you don't try to kill yourself, you basically don't have to worry about becoming cannon fodder. The kingdom is not yet so extravagant that it can abandon tens of thousands of elites at once.

  In comparison, the struggle between the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See is nothing.

  From the beginning to the end, Hudson never thought that these big forces would immediately support the northern battlefield. If the human race were so united, the orcs would not dare to take the initiative to start a war with ten courage.

   It doesn't matter if there is a quarrel, the bigger the quarrel, the more valuable the blood moon horn in his hand will be.

   Feng Shui took turns, Pius VII knocked a sap in front of the Frankish Kingdom, and now he is ushering in his revenge.

   Questioning the legitimacy of the Pope is the first time in the continent of Aslante. It can be said that Pius VII, this wave has also been named through the ages.

   It's just this reputation. Like the Frankish king, damage is inevitable, and it depends on whether it can be made up later.

  In this context, if the Blood Moon Horn falls into the hands of the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See is convicted of colluding with a cult organization, Pius VII will die in this wave.

  From the standpoint of the Holy See, it is absolutely inevitable to win the blood moon horn.

  If it weren't for the high-level officials of the Kingdom to have identified the corner of the Blood Moon as being in the hands of the Holy See, and then blessed the seal with the power of the mysterious compass. Hudson really didn't dare to trade at this time.

   After all, he is still too poor, otherwise the prudent Hudson would not choose to take a risky trade. Of course, being targeted is also one of the reasons.

  When he was in the Mountain Territory, he had no problems, and no one dared to do anything. But once you go out with a large army, the situation is different.

  With the style of the Holy See, the mountain leader can't stop prying eyes. If you keep this hot potato, you will bring disaster.

   It involves the reputation of the Holy See, even if it is just a guess, it is enough to make the Holy See take a big action.

  Especially now, it is also involved in the dispute over the Pope's legitimacy, so it is even more inevitable.

  Looking at the Blood Moon Horn that Bear Stearns used to hold animal milk, Hudson smiled secretly. If the seal is not released, I am afraid it will be placed in front of everyone, and no one will think that the broken horn is an evil weapon.

  Even if the news leaks out, everyone must be willing to believe that this is the "Blood Moon Horn". If it cannot be proved that the Blood Moon Horn is in his hands, then it can only be slander.

  "Undead Magister", this terrifying title, even if Hudson himself stood up and admitted it, the outside world would treat it as a joke.

  I really thought that undead magic is so easy to practice, and you can just be a magister casually. If there is that kind of talent, it is exactly what the Alpha Kingdom needs most.

  Necromancers have a bad reputation, but before doing something, everyone is still not interested in chasing them down.

   Among the mage associations supported by the kingdom, there are many necromancers. It is people, not forces, that are inherently evil.

  Especially in the current frontline, necromancers are most needed. As long as the necromancer makes a move, the corpses infected by the dark forces will no longer be used as rations for the orcs.

   Being able to sneak into the circle of power, the eighteen generations of Hudson's ancestors have been checked by everyone. The course of birth and growth was all innocent, so she was included in the circle.

   To say that someone is fake and shoddy, it is an insult to everyone's IQ.

   Without the most basic ability to distinguish, I am afraid that everyone's foundation has long been usurped by people and gods.

  The only question now is whether the mysterious organization is the Holy See?

   Once the identity is confirmed, it will be better to blackmail. If it is another big force, this price will definitely be greatly reduced.

  The most important thing is that only when the Holy See buys the "Blood Moon Horn", will it not make a public announcement. Even they are more worried about leaking than Hudson.

  From the beginning to the end, the Holy See insisted that the "Blood Moon Horn" was in the seal. If it was revealed that it was dealing with others, it would be a slap in the face.

  The best way to deal with this kind of shady matter is to quietly erase all traces, rather than publicizing it with great fanfare.

   Call for the names of the five royal families: Beamon and Lionman are already available, and the other three are undecided. If it was mentioned earlier, please remind me that Haiyue only wrote two.
