The King Chapter 259

  Chapter 259 Humility

  The Northern Expeditionary Army was worried, and there were also disputes within the orc army. The Northern Expeditionary Army was blocked, but how to deal with it became a problem again.

   It is not difficult to defeat the enemy, but the difficulty is how to defeat the enemy in a short time, and also to ensure that one's own strength does not suffer too much loss.

   Due to the situation, the five imperial courts couldn't even take care of their internal struggles. Originally, I wanted to seek an explanation from the Beamon family, but now I have no choice but to cancel it.

  The only change is: the Beamon family has dropped from the head of the five royal families to the end. This was proposed by the new Beamon Emperor Alex.

   There is no way. In the previous battle of the imperial courts, the strength of the Beamon family was greatly damaged, and they could no longer hold down the other four imperial courts.

   Rather than being bombarded by others, it is better to give in. What's more, this time the old Bi Menghuang made too much trouble, and he also needs to appease the other four imperial courts.

   "The situation is a bit bad. Many big tribes have moved, as if they are deliberately avoiding us, and they probably noticed something.

  In the past ten days, accidents have happened to the people we sent out. Originally thought that the human race did it, but judging from the current situation, there are also black hands of these big tribes.

  The imperial court's call-up order is no longer taken seriously by them. It depends on the situation that they are going to wait for us to fight with the human race before jumping out to take advantage of it. "

   Ying Renhuang said with a livid face.

  The orc empire was originally a mixed bag of good and bad people, all bearing the name of orcs in name, but in fact they belonged to various races.

  The strength of the five imperial courts was greatly damaged, and the younger brothers under him immediately couldn't help it. Jumping out in such a hurry is not because these tribes are impatient, but because the hands of the five royal families are too dark.

   If you accept the call honestly, your next fate is to be slowly consumed in the confrontation with the human race.

  After thousands of years, every time the two clans fought, it was the time when the tribes below were unlucky.

  Countless powerful races were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder, and the brutal rule of the five royal families was able to stand firm forever.

   It was obvious that everyone had had enough, and when they saw an opportunity to break free from the rule of the five royal families, they immediately took action.

  However, the five imperial courts have accumulated power for too long after all, and the choice everyone made was to avoid it, not to confront it head-on.

  If these tribes dared to bet, they would take advantage of the opportunity of the main forces of the five royal families to go out and slaughter their tribes, and they would definitely be able to pull them down.

  Alex was very embarrassed, this is his own fault again. It's nothing more than a defeat, but even the cannon fodder troops under his command were not consumed in time, and they were digging holes and laying mines properly.

   "This is a conspiracy of the human race. It is difficult to defeat us head-on, so they are trying to divide the empire from the inside.

  We can't sit still, we must take a fierce counterattack to let the enemy know how powerful it is! "

   Crown Prince Alex tried his best to throw the blame away.

  Meet a father who professionally cheats his son, there is only so much he can do now.

  Let's forget about the part that cannot be cleared up. For these uncertain charges, you can push it away if you can, and throw it away if you can.

   "Alex, don't be so excited. There must be a counterattack, but you must carefully consider where to start.

  The current situation is not about how many human soldiers we kill, but about stabilizing the orc empire first.

  The currently changing tribes are only part of the orc race. If this situation continues, more large tribes will follow suit. "

  The Lion Emperor said calmly.

  The war has progressed until now, and the five royal families have all suffered heavy losses, but relatively speaking, the lion clan suffered the least damage.

  In the previous important battles, the lion tribe did not come out to gain a sense of presence, and correspondingly there was not much loss.

  This kind of luck against the sky is really the envy of the other four royal families. It's a pity that envy can't change the fact that the lion people's voice in the orc empire has greatly increased.

  If it wasn't for the lack of convincing achievements, it would be the Lion King's turn to be the boss.

   It stands to reason that the Lion King at this moment should fight vigorously in order to eliminate the exploits of the Alpha Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army and lay the foundation for his ascent to the top.

  The current situation is obviously not the case. It is by nature to be warlike, but it does not mean that the Lion Emperor lacks political acumen.

  The human army is to fight, but it is obviously more important to stabilize the rear. It is true that the human race and the orcs have a deep hatred, but it does not mean that the two sides cannot cooperate in a short time.

  Once the unstable elements within the orc empire hook up with the human race, it will be the end of their five races.

  As the overlord of the mainland, what the human race cannot tolerate is "a powerful orc empire".

  If the various races can stand on their own and disintegrate the orc empire from within, they will lose the value of being suppressed by the human race alliance.

   On this issue, the following small clans may compromise with the human race, but the five royal clans cannot.

  On the prairie, the two armies are still facing each other. It was as if the arrival of the orc army had no effect on the battlefield at all.

  The "surround but not attack" of only encircling one side still made Marshal Campbell feel the pressure.

   There is no way, as time goes by, more and more orc cannon fodder troops have gathered.

   "The orcs have divided their forces, are you sure you read it correctly?"

   Marshal Campbell asked in surprise.

  The strength of the Northern Expedition Army is not weak, and its comprehensive strength is at least 60% of that of the orc army. If you dare to separate your troops and leave, who do you look down upon?

   "Marshal, don't worry, we sent people to verify this information three times, and asked the investigating soldiers to record it with photo stones.

   According to preliminary estimates, at least 80,000 orcs left the orc army. Judging from the direction of action of the enemy army, it should be returning to the old nest.

   Perhaps something happened in the rear of the orc empire, so they had to divide their troops back. "

  The words of the middle-aged officer made Marshal Campbell even more confused.

  Accidents happened in the rear of the Orc Empire, this is completely a super-class topic. Nothing like it has been seen in the past hundreds of years.

  Even though they knew that the Orc Empire had many internal conflicts, in the past countless years, no major disturbances occurred.

  Experienced commanders are often bound by rich experience. When encountering such an accident, Marshal Campbell's first reaction is to be more vigilant.

   "Pass down the order and let all the troops be more vigilant. Immediately slaughter the animals and leave the precious fodder for the horses. We must be prepared for a long confrontation with the enemy!

  Send people to watch the whereabouts of the orc team, and find out their real purpose as soon as possible. "

   Bathed in the spring, the southeast front army embarked on the journey again. Logically speaking, the Southeast Front Army has been fighting continuously for more than a year, and it is time to rest.

   But there are exceptions to everything. The situation in the kingdom is critical, and the southeast front army is playing the role of rescuers. Naturally, they cannot go back to rest.

  The army advanced all the way, and the team became stronger and stronger. Caesar III once again issued a mobilization order, including the Fengyun Province, which was seriously injured, and the seven provinces in the southeastern part of the kingdom were all within the scope of recruitment.

   In order to deal with the problem of prisoners of war, there was a delay for a while, and the mobilization of the provinces was almost completed.

   Without any accident, the 14 legions mobilized from the seven southeastern provinces were assigned to the southeastern front army.

   Troop strength +140,000, Hudson didn't feel happy at all. His intuition told him that this was just the beginning, and more mobs would be assigned to his command in the future.

  The biggest difference between a large number of soldiers and a small number of soldiers is that the former is a waste of a commander if he loses a battle, while the latter is understandable if he loses a battle.

  If he is asked to reorganize the defense line, then these serf soldiers who have only received simple military training can still make do with it.

   If you expect him to lead the army and run to rescue the Northern Expedition army, it is purely cheating people.

  I can only hope that those guys in the capital are not over-the-top and give an idiot order.

  Out of concern about the next situation, Hudson decisively chose to play badly. In addition to rectifying military discipline, he is letting his own way.

  The expanded Southeast Front Army, in terms of marching speed, fully interpreted the mob.

   Traveling fifty miles or sixty miles a day is already a thing of the past. The current southeast front army has directly halved its marching speed.

  The snail-like forward speed, if it was left in the past, Hudson would have let the supervising team kill people.

   Now, just slow down. Best to arrive at the front line just as the first Alliance reinforcements arrive.

  If the Northern Expeditionary Army still fails to break through, then the problem will not be too big after joining forces to clear the siege.

   If the front line is unfortunately defeated, Hudson can only admit it. He wanted to protect the family property for the kingdom, but his own strength did not allow it.

   "Count, the king's envoy is here again."

  Hearing the word "again", Hudson's scalp tingled. Now he is upset when he sees Earl Lauren, and that guy will urge, urge, urge.

   "Count Lauren, please come in!"

   No matter how upset you are, you still have to see people. He represents the king, and he directly shuts people out. Hudson is not so "brave" yet.

  Caesar III was not easy to bully. Once he was offended, his methods against people were not ordinary.

  There are so many nobles in the kingdom, all of them lost their temper. There are countless tragic cases out there, and Hudson is not willing to try.

   "Dear Earl of Hudson, I have brought new orders from His Majesty the Great Caesar III.

  From now on, the Southeast Front Army will be reorganized into the South Central Front Army, and you will be the commander-in-chief, responsible for the unified command of the new armies in the central and southern provinces of the kingdom. "

   Announced the king's new order. Seeing that Hudson did not respond, Earl Lauren couldn't help reminding: "Earl Hudson, look?"

   Look, look at a ghost!

  At this time, the newly mobilized legions are all garbage troops that are at the bottom of the kingdom.

   I don't know who gave Caesar III the confidence to think that he can command so many mobs.

  The hundreds of thousands of mobs in the seven southeastern provinces alone are enough to make him a mess, and now there are more than 200,000 people, are they going to let people live?

   "Earl Lauren, please tell His Majesty the King for me: Hudson's ability is limited, and he doesn't have the ability to command the South Central Front Army. Please choose someone else!"

  The sincerity of the tone made Earl Lauren stunned. It's not that there are no commanders who dislike too many soldiers, but there are really not many.

   Last time, Hudson was not very interested in drawing the troops from the southeastern provinces over, but he finally accepted it, and this time he refused directly.

   "Dear Earl of Hudson, please don't say that! The situation in the kingdom is difficult, and we need a good general like you to contribute to the country."

   They were all forced out. As a king, the most important thing is to play with balance. Originally, Caesar III did not plan to hand over so many troops to Hudson.

  The commanders-in-chief of the Southwest Front Army and the Central Front Army were respectively appointed in front of them. Unfortunately, those two were really ineffective, and there was a big disturbance on the road as soon as they set off.

   "Soldiers pass like grates" is not a joke. In particular, the destructive power of the mob army is even more astonishing.

   There is no accident. Both the Southwest Front Army and the Central Front Army have proved the destructive power of the mob with practical actions.

  The only southeast front army that had no problems suddenly seemed to stand out from the crowd. In stark contrast, Caesar III immediately decided to make a substitution.

  The military discipline of the new regiment is terrible. In addition to lack of training, there is another important reason-the serious lack of qualified officers.

   In other words, there are not enough capable noble children. The rest are a bunch of dandies who are now forcibly conscripted into the army.

  A group of useless officers and a group of mob soldiers staged the tragedy of "soldiers passing like grates".

  The family members of many nobles were brutally poisoned by the rebels. Do you know that these nobles are still fighting on the front line?

  How could the kingdom sit idly by when such a major event happened. As the commander who is directly responsible, he will naturally be dismissed directly, and the parties involved in the riot must also be held accountable.

   After some tossing, the position was freed up. Knowing that it was a mess, all the bigwigs in the capital naturally gave way.
