The King Chapter 269

  Chapter 269 took the wrong script

"what?"

   "Let me lead troops to respond to the Northern Expeditionary Army that broke through. Which idiot came up with this strategy?"

   Hudson couldn't help but swear.

  The Northern Expeditionary Army gathered together to defend on the spot, like a hedgehog. If the orc wants to eat the hedgehog, he must first endure the sting.

  Even if the Northern Expeditionary Army can be wiped out, it will have to pay a heavy price.

   Once you choose to break out, the situation is different. The cavalry probably managed to escape a lot, and the infantry would have to see if the Lord of Dawn would save face.

  Anyway, Hudson is the orc commander. After intercepting once, he will take the initiative to let the cavalry leave and concentrate on eating the infantry of the expeditionary army.

  Leading troops out to respond is easy to say, but the question is where to go to respond?

  The distance between the two sides was no less than five hundred miles, and the enemy's air force was flying all over the sky. Hudson didn't dare to bring his troops under the nose of the orc army.

  A team of one hundred and eighty people can keep secrets very well. A team of thousands of children can also be broken into pieces.

   But a six-figure army is dispatched, no matter how scattered it is, it will be a large area, unless all the eagle people in the sky become blind.

   "Earl Lauren, please tell Your Majesty.

  If the expeditionary force breaks through the team and can enter within a hundred miles of the defense line, I will immediately lead the troops out to respond.

  If it is any farther, it will be beyond the scope of ability. Anyone with a little bit of military common sense knows how big the movement of the army is.

   Attacked rashly, I am afraid that the Northern Expeditionary Army did not respond, and the border guards paid for it first.

  The family background of the Kingdom is not strong, we cannot be self-willed.

  I suggest that His Majesty better use diplomatic means to win reinforcements from the Terran Alliance! "

   Hudson decisively refused.

  The rhythm of pitting people to death does not pay for their lives. Knowing that it is a pit and jumping into it, his brain was flooded.

   "Dear Earl of Hudson, His Majesty the King is also very embarrassed.

  The reinforcements from the Terran Alliance have not been seen for a long time, and there is very little food and grass left for the Northern Expeditionary Army. In order to survive, the front line has begun to eat orcs.

  You are a master of the art of war, you should know what this means.

   Led by the five northern dukes, a group of nobles on the front line challenged Marshal Campbell.

  Under pressure from the army, the marshal had to agree to the breakout plan. "

  After listening to Earl Lauren's explanation, Hudson finally understood why the always wise Caesar III agreed to such an idiotic plan.

  As a joint-stock union country, when the domestic aristocrats have the same position, the king's idea becomes no longer important.

   It has been a long time since no reinforcements were seen. One can imagine the pressure on a besieged army.

  Everyone knows that staying put and waiting for help is the best choice, but human nature is selfish.

   Those who are willing to sacrifice family interests, and even their own lives, for the sake of national strategy are only a minority.

  Especially those big nobles who bet heavily can't afford to gamble.

  Breakout is a heavy loss, but the core members have a high probability of running away, which is better than staying and waiting to die.

   I don't know why, but Hudson always has a sense of déjà vu of the Liaodong military group in the late Ming Dynasty when looking at the five northern dukes who took the lead in breaking out.

  The ability to defend the country is mediocre, full of talent to sell teammates and raise self-respect, a group of well-rounded scammers.

  The only difference is that the enemies are different. The Alpha Kingdom is backed by the Human Race Alliance.

   Many forces in the alliance want the Alpha Kingdom to decline, but they cannot tolerate the Alpha Kingdom falling under the iron heel of the Orc Empire.

   It is estimated that once the expeditionary force is defeated, reinforcements from the Alliance will arrive as quickly as possible to turn the tide.

  In an instant, Hudson felt relieved. It is enough to know that the five northern dukes dare not betray the human race.

   "Earl Lauren, I am naturally aware of your Majesty's difficulties. But the key to the problem is not whether you understand it, but whether you really can't do it.

  The army is here, and Hudson's ability is limited. Whoever has this ability in the kingdom should be in charge. I am willing to abdicate. "

   Hudson replied unceremoniously.

   It's not the first time that something happened. If it had been a narrow-minded king, he would have been driven home long ago.

   But Hudson doesn't care. If he can throw away his troubles and go home, he will only feel secretly happy.

   It is not easy to become famous, and it is even more difficult to get out of it. The more critical the moment is, the more you have to "hold on".

  Blindly accepting tasks that are beyond the scope of one's own ability can only lead to ruin and ruin the country and the people in the end.

   Vaguely, Hudson suspected that Caesar III deliberately asked him for his opinion, just to make him come out as a villain.

"kill!"

  In the dark night, the Northern Expeditionary Army launched another attack. In order to create an opportunity to break through, the Northern Expeditionary Army has launched raids day and night in recent days.

  The target of the attack was changed to the orc cannon fodder race, which was different from the previous raids. In recent days, after each attack, the expeditionary army will leave a lot of letters.

  The black history of the five royal families and the erupting resistance movement are written in multiple orc languages. I am afraid that the orcs will not understand, all the writing is direct narrative.

   "Marshal, the preparations are almost done. It is estimated that these orc races are almost aware of the changes in the rear.

  If it can be alienated, it should be effective now. If the enemy reacts if it is delayed, the scheming will fail. "

   Duke Pias said a little excitedly.

   They are all true words, the agreement with the orcs does not affect him as a great nobleman of the kingdom. It doesn't matter if you sell your teammates, they don't have the guts to betray the human race.

   Regarding the specific breakout plan of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they still haven't disclosed a word to the orcs. The main reason is that they know each other too well, and the two sides have no sense of trust at all.

  Glancing at the generals, Marshal Campbell sighed secretly when he found that everyone's faces were full of excitement.

   "Guard, take the wooden sign."

   "Breakout needs someone to open the way, and someone needs to be responsible for breaking the back. It is not fair to forcefully assign this kind of task that is close to death.

  These wooden signs have their respective tasks written on them, and the drawn wooden signs will perform whatever tasks are written on them.

   Everything will be decided by the Lord of Dawn. For the sake of fairness, I will not participate in the lottery. In the end, I will lead the troops directly under the headquarters to complete the remaining tasks. "

   Originally thinking that when everyone was arguing endlessly, the five dukes who voted according to the usual practice were instantly dumbfounded. This is not playing cards according to common sense!

  According to the lottery method, the probability of the five of them being able to act together is infinitely close to zero. This means that their agreement with the orcs has gone bankrupt before it even started.

   But this is the fairest way, and no one can fault it. Without a suitable reason, rashly refusing is equivalent to writing on your face: I have a problem.

   On the surface, this is taking care of their five families. The lottery is about luck, and the voting is about connections.

  Given their poor popularity in the kingdom, if they are not responsible for the decision, it will definitely be vote fraud.

   If you take the initiative to propose a divorce, it will be even more suspicious. Everyone is an old fox who has suddenly become noble, and everyone knows that there is a problem.

   After secretly looking at each other, the five of them reluctantly joined the lottery team, expecting a miracle to happen.

   No surprises, they were not assigned together. Marshal Campbell of the chicken thief not only assigned the task of opening the way and breaking the back, but also clearly gave the direction of breaking out.

  There are many different options, and the probability of a power group being assigned together is greatly reduced.

  Essentially for the political balance of the kingdom. I am worried that if the troops that break out of the siege all come from an interest group, it will be a tragedy.

  With this arrangement, no matter which direction the team succeeds in breaking through, the team is also filled with multiple forces.

  Every aspect has been taken care of, except for the survival five-member group who wanted to sell their teammates. Acting together with other forces, it will be useless to expect the orcs to release water.

  Waiting for the recording officer to record their respective tasks, Marshal Campbell waved his hand and said: "Go back and prepare, we will set off after dawn.

  In this operation, we have no retreat. Either break out of the enemy's blockade and lead the team back to the kingdom alive; or stay here with the prairie and sleep forever. "

  The tragic breakout battle kicked off. With the help of the Holy See, the public relations operations of the Orc Empire went much smoother.

   Various races have been reluctant to intervene in mediation. On the one hand, the orcs have poor international relations; on the other hand, they are worried about the rebound of the human race.

   Facing the overlord of the mainland, everyone has to think more. In case the human race wants to retaliate afterwards, can the allies stand up?

  The appearance of the Holy See undoubtedly dispelled their worries. There are people in the human race who are holding back, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

   Except for the dwarves who had a big oolong, the other mainland races were basically smooth sailing.

  Family after family of races stood up and expressed their desire to mediate, and the pressure gradually spread to the Human Race Alliance.

  The mainland overlord is very powerful, but the mainland overlord is not arrogant to the point of superciliousness. Facing the joint pressure from all ethnic groups, even Charles III felt the pressure.

   The topic of whether to accept mediation was once again pushed to a climax in the Alliance Council.

  Lutetia, Union Council.

  As the situation got out of control, more and more people in the parliament advocated the use of negotiation means to solve the problem. On the contrary, the original anti-war leader, the Holy See, is constantly clamoring for war at this moment.

  The identity of the **** stirrer has been confirmed again.

   "Members, as the overlord of the continent of Aslante, we must maintain our majesty at all times.

  The various races have just announced their involvement in mediation, and we have chosen to cease fighting with the orcs. If this spreads, wouldn't it make them think: I, the human race, are afraid of them!

   Once the precedent is set, there will be more and more such bad things in the years to come.

  I propose to use thunderous means to destroy the orc empire with one blow, and let all races know how powerful our human race is.

  The various ethnic groups in the mainland are not worth mentioning at all. Let people release the news, whoever dares to stand up for the orcs next, we will be the first to suppress whoever..."

  Bishop Montezon's impassioned speech.

   There is no surprise. Those who choose to support the Holy See's main battle proposal are all northern countries. Including the Alpha Kingdom, which has been at loggerheads with them, is also on the side of the Holy See at this moment.

   Originally, I was worried that if I danced too much, if I angered the orcs, I would be "torn up". But now that the Northern Expeditionary Army has begun to break through, the cards in the hands of the orcs are gone.

  The Alpha Kingdom, which has always been a staunch "beast destroyer", naturally wants to push forward the proposal with all its strength at this moment.

  Even if the Holy See does not deal with it, as long as the Holy See is willing to fight now, then everyone can be friends for the time being.

   "Your Excellency, the Dragon Clan is leading this mediation. Are you sure you want to suppress them?"

  Suddenly, a noise interrupted Bishop Montesson's speech, and also raised a fatal question—the Dragon Race.

  There are many races on the continent of Aslante, the Holy See has no need to persuade them. Only the Dragon Clan, who moved out of their lair early, made them fear the most.

   "Your Excellency, don't be joking. The Dragon Clan has withdrawn from the mainland for many years, and is alone overseas. Now I am afraid that even the exact location of Dragon Island is not known to many, so why is it necessary to suppress it?

   Now it's just a dragon, and he can represent only himself. How to qualify to represent the Dragon Clan. "

  Bishop Montesson strongly denied it.

  A few days ago, he was still saying that he needed to consider the dragon clan behind the red dragon, but in a blink of an eye, the same thing turned into a different result.

   "Bishop Montesson is right, a red dragon really doesn't mean that, even the Dragon King is no exception.

  As far as I know, the five-color dragon does not have a high voice in the dragon clan. From ancient times to the present, the dragon clan has no precedent for a five-color dragon as a representative.

  I specifically consulted the dragon knights of the kingdom. In the last hundred years or so, Dragon Island has not issued any edicts to the outside world.

  The orcs are just bluffing, and they don't need to take it to heart if they want to get away with it. "

   As soon as Charles III's words fell to the ground, the morale of the main combat faction immediately boosted, but Bishop Montesson was dumbfounded.

  Something is wrong with the script!

  How did Charles III, who was supposed to be anti-war, speak for the main war faction?

  As the king of the first kingdom on the mainland, if he speaks like this now, the MPs who follow the Frankish kingdom will inevitably change their positions.

  The main combat faction, which was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly gained the upper hand.

   Bishop Montesson was completely dumbfounded. He is so fickle, how can he let him play?

  The order given by the Holy See is to let him be in the main battle and let the alliance veto the main battle proposal. Judging from the current situation, if the quarrel continues, the parties may have to discuss how to send troops.

   Glancing at the representative of the Kingdom of Alpha with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Bishop Montesson instantly understood.

  Charles III was anti-war, and that was only under normal circumstances. If there is an external force involved, it is still possible to change the position, for example: someone has made a condition that cannot be refused.

   He didn't know what the specific content of the transaction was. Anyway, Bishop Montesson knew that things were going to happen.

   From the beginning, I was calculated. The enemy had expected him to make trouble a long time ago, and deliberately let people release a signal that the Frankish Kingdom opposed the war.

  It's hard to get overwhelmed. No matter how shameless you are, you can't take back what you just said.
