The King Chapter 427

  Fort Augustus, after the expeditionary force took a brief rest, Hudson continued to lead the team to expand the results.

  Compared to hard battles on the battlefield, beating a dog in the water is the easiest way to achieve results.

  In just two or three days, the expeditionary force added 15,000 beheads and 40,000 prisoners. This number is still increasing, and Hudson has no time to report victory to the country.

  The sequelae of the disunity of the command of the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants was fully exposed at this moment. After the army was defeated, all ethnic groups could only fight on their own, and there was no effective resistance organized at all.

   Otherwise, if hundreds of thousands of troops are integrated together, even if the morale of the army is frustrated, they can choose a dangerous terrain and stick to it for help.

   No matter how powerful the expeditionary force is, the total force is only that small, not to mention that they are all cavalry, so it is impossible to fight a tough battle.

  The enemy gave an opportunity, and Hudson naturally had to seize it. The benefits of taking prisoners are reflected at this moment. Many coalition soldiers chose to surrender when there was nothing they could do.

  The number of prisoners in his hands was too large, forcing Hudson to transfer a legion from the country to guard these prisoners of war with the Mosi people.

  In the era of poor information transmission, everyone relies on "reputation" for a living. If no one is sent to watch, who knows how many prisoners will be left in the end after handing them over to the Moxi people.

  The coach has to take responsibility for what his subordinates do. Accumulating "credibility and word of mouth" is not easy, and Hudson is not willing to put his "golden signature" of doing what he says here.

  Being able to fight continuously, in addition to the fact that the expeditionary force is all elites, the "Ha's Magic Potion" also contributed a lot.

  Under normal circumstances, the horses are the most injured when the cavalry raids long distances and fights continuously.

  But this time is different. The war horse that took the magic potion is still in good spirits after completing the long-distance raid.

   Only when the physical strength of the war horse can keep up, can the follow-up expansion of the victory be smooth. If it weren't for the insufficient strength of the expeditionary force, the record would have been even more prominent.

  As for the defenders of Fort Augustus, they were naturally left to deal with the corpses. After a bitter battle, the surviving officers and soldiers were severely injured physically and mentally, and urgently needed recovery and adjustment.

  Five days later, standing under the former steel defense line of the Warhammer Kingdom, Hudson complained helplessly: If you don't die, you won't die.

   It used to be the forefront of the Warhammer Kingdom's resistance to the orc invasion, and once prevented hundreds of thousands of orc troops from advancing, but now only weeds and rubble are left on the ground.

  During the war years, unfortunately meeting a prodigal king can really kill a country.

  The main reason is that I have lived a comfortable and comfortable life for too long, forgetting that the essence of the world is that the weak eat the strong.

  In order to maintain the royal power, there is no problem with the balance of the game, but the prerequisite is that the two sides can balance.

  In a sense, Hudson was also a beneficiary of the failure of Joseph II's balance policy.

  The lessons learned from the past were there, and everyone was frightened, so that after the outbreak of the mainland war, all the major forces in the kingdom pushed him out to preside over the overall situation.

balance?

  Anyone with a little bit of military common sense can see that the Alpha Kingdom has a very low probability of winning if it concentrates all its forces; if the army is divided into two, then the battle will be impossible.

   "Send the order, the whole army stops pursuing!"

   Hudson ordered decisively.

  During yesterday's pursuit, no more than 200 enemy soldiers were killed, and only more than 300 prisoners were captured.

  From the five-digit daily record at the beginning to the three-digit record now, the results are getting more and more unremarkable.

   It's not that the soldiers didn't work hard, it's mainly because after a few days of fleeing, the defeated soldiers had long gone to nowhere.

  The best time to expand the results of the battle has passed, and there will be little gain if you continue to hunt down. On the contrary, it is possible to be ambushed by the enemy because of the dispersion of troops.

   Rather than deal with each race one by one, Hudson would rather wait for the alien races to get together before sending troops to attack.

   "1+1" may be greater than 2, but "1+1+1" will be less than 3. The more races gathered together, the more internal problems.

  Internal friction will always be the number one enemy of the "Alliance", and Hudson believes in the destructive power brought by pig teammates.

  This war has already planted the seeds of differences. Also encountered a surprise attack, some races were wiped out, some races were seriously injured, and some races retreated completely.

  The race that retreated completely was the first to run away; the race that was completely wiped out reacted a step slower and passively blocked the allies.

   Don't suffer from scarcity but unevenness. Seeing that their own family has suffered heavy losses, but their allies are unscathed, anyone's heart will be unbalanced!

  Just as Hudson guessed, the alliance of the ancient survivors, thousands of miles away, is in a mess at the moment.

  Since receiving the news, all parties have been arguing non-stop. When a battle is lost, someone has to be responsible for it. In particular, it is necessary to give the elves an explanation for leaving the elf magician group on the battlefield with unknown life and death.

"enough!

   Things are so obvious, why bother. If there is a big defeat on the front line, someone must have become a deserter. If everyone fights to the end like my giant family, the ending will definitely be different!

  In order to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, those who escaped first must be arrested, and the military law is used to deter the entire army! "

  The giant king took the lead in making trouble.

  As a big race, their size is the guiding light on the battlefield. Other races can sneak away, but they can't!

   There were already few people, but now the entire army of one thousand giants on the front line has been wiped out, making the giant family even worse.

  All the members of my family were killed in battle, but some allies withdrew the troops in an organized way. After a little speculation, I knew that they were betrayed by teammates.

   "The giant king calm down, we can't jump to conclusions until the matter is investigated clearly.

  Whether there are any deserters from various ethnic groups in the alliance will be discussed after the parties are found. No one is here, if you make a mistake, wouldn't it be chilling for the people! "

  The macaque king persuaded.

  From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to be this early bird. After all, the giant king's fists and violent temper are well-known in the alliance of the ancient survivors.

   Despite the news from the front line, the macaque family was also the first to evacuate. Whether it was the first to run away or one of the first races to run away is still unknown.

  If the giant king's proposal is followed, the army of the macaque tribe will definitely be held accountable, and there is a high probability that they will be listed as negative models and severely punished.

   It was difficult to withdraw from the front line and preserve the strength of the race. How could these younger brothers die in the hands of "our own people".

   Direct opposition is not enough, so just delay. Anyway, the army is on the front line, and the alliance will not be able to reach it for a while.

   Find an opportunity later, let them sneak back to the clan area secretly, and declare their death in battle.

   "Hang Xin, what's so chilling?

   Even if the battle situation is unfavorable, a strategic shift must be carried out, at least the magician group must be brought along!

  Abandoning the magician group and fleeing alone, this is the first time I have encountered such an anecdote through the ages.

   Could it be that some people think that the elf magician group is not their own anyway, so it's okay to lose it, right? "

  The giant king said mockingly.

  To fight against the human race, the Alliance of Ancient Remnants must rely on the power of the elves. If it weren't for the joining of the Elven Mage Group, maybe they are still entangled with the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms.

   In order to escape for his own life, he lost the magician group aided by his allies, and he obviously couldn't explain it.

  The dead don't need to take responsibility, and they don't have the ability to take responsibility, so the blame can only be borne by the living.

  The elves are not easy to mess with. Everyone relies on the power of the alliance to be qualified to talk to the elves, but it doesn't mean that everyone is the same race.

   In the case of offending the human race, and then offending the elves, it is obvious that they are not going to mess around on the continent of Aslante.

  Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was becoming more and more tense, the Multiclaw King on the side smoothed things over and said, "Okay, both of you.

  The front line is too chaotic, and the news we receive may not be accurate.

  The elf magician group broke out, but they were only temporarily out of contact with us, and it may not be impossible. Might as well wait until the rout is gathered before discussing these issues.

  The top priority is still the frontline battle situation. The army of the Eastern Expedition was defeated, and the coalition forces of the Alphas and the Mossi may march straight in at any time.

  At present, the Warhammer Kingdom of the West is still relying on the mountainous terrain to carry out the final stubborn resistance; within the Kingdom of the Eastern Warhammer, there are also several rebel forces, large and small.

  Once the human army comes back and unites with these armed forces, it will definitely pose a serious threat to our local rule. "

  This is an embarrassing question. The lands of the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms have been divided into their own spheres of influence.

  According to the prior agreement, whoever's troubles will be solved. The progress ahead was so smooth that everyone didn't take the scattered resistance forces seriously.

   Now that the human army is about to come over, everything will be different. If the enemy cannot be kept out of the door, there will be endless troubles.

   The East and West Warhammer Kingdoms are in turmoil, and the army sent to attack the Principality of Orton will be in danger. In case of being cut off by the human army, it might be another big defeat.

  Confidence is so mysterious. When they were making great strides before, everyone didn't pay attention to the human race at all.

   Having just experienced a big defeat, it immediately reminded them that the human race is the overlord of the continent of Aslante.

   "If there is anything to discuss, hurry up and organize the army to reinforce the front line. The East and West Warhammer Kingdoms were brought down by us, and we must never fall into the hands of the human race.

   Anyway, I have had enough of the days of ice and snow. If we are driven back this time, I am afraid we will have to continue migrating to the depths of the ice and snow world.

   If the human race gets ruthless, it is not impossible to directly exterminate us.

   Everyone chose to come out to gamble on the luck of the clan at this moment, and they thought it was because they saw the current situation in the mainland.

  The alliance wins, we still have a chance to breathe; if the human race wins again, all races in the mainland will face the test of life and death.

   As for the elves, let's do the posture first. Now is the time to use troops. For the sake of the overall situation, they should give us a chance to perform. "

  The Shadow King's words brought everyone back to reality. Things have already happened, and shirking responsibility will not solve any problems.

  No matter how you say it, you have to go through this hurdle first. As for the further intensification of conflicts within the alliance, everyone has seen it, but there is nothing they can do about it.

  Under the multi-ethnic alliance system, it is okay to fight with the wind. If there is a big rout, the scene of Fort Augustus will continue to repeat itself.

  It is meaningless to talk about the overall situation. For small races, the first thing to think about is to continue the racial inheritance.

   Driven by this kind of thinking, when they make decisions, they have to choose to give priority to preserving their own strength.

   In the Principality of Cantero, after a series of defeats, the elves have besieged the city.

   It was about to take down the royal city, and let the world know how powerful the elves army is, but at this time, they received the bad news of the defeat of their allies.

   "What happened on the Eastern Front, what kind of battle are those idiots from the Alliance of Ancient Remnants fighting?"

  The Forest Elf Queen asked in a daze.

  Just a few days ago, she received the news that the coalition forces of the ancient survivors had the absolute upper hand, and the defense line of Fort Augustus was just around the corner.

   Never expected that the turning point would come so quickly. A little carelessness can turn a big victory into a big defeat.

   "Queen, the Alpha Kingdom has dispatched troops. According to the news from the front line, Marshal Hudson of the Alpha Kingdom personally led an army of 100,000 troops and rushed two hundred miles to launch a night attack on the Allied Forces of the Ancient Remnants.

  At that time, the allied forces of the ancient survivors had just entered the fortress of Fort Augustus, and the main force was fighting fiercely in the city.

  By the time they reacted, the camp had already fallen into the hands of the enemy. He could only retreat from the city in a hurry to meet the enemy, but he was defeated miserably!

  The magician group we sent to support the Alliance of Ancient Remnants also ran out of magic power due to previous battles and fell into the hands of the enemy. It is currently unknown whether they are alive or dead. "

  As soon as the old man finished speaking, the elf queen's face turned green with anger. It's okay for the allies to lose the battle, but even the reinforcements they sent out were trapped.

  That is a group of magicians. There are more than twenty eighth-level magicians in it, and even the weakest one is a fifth-level magician.

  Sending this carefully selected team, in addition to providing support to allies, also means showing off force.

  I thought that the magician group was guarded by a large army, and there was not much danger. This trip was just a tour at public expense, but the reality was too embarrassing.

   "Is the Ancient Remnant Alliance all idiots, who don't know how to retreat after losing a battle?

  No, Remo Priest is mature and prudent. If you encounter danger, you will definitely lead your team to retreat. Something must have happened in the middle! "

  The elf queen said angrily.

   "The alliance of the ancient survivors is too chaotic, and all races only report to themselves. The clear reports we collected are incomplete, and we can't figure out the details in a while.

  However, our people failed to evacuate, and it is very likely that they were intercepted by human masters.

  The commander-in-chief who led the army this time, Hudson, is himself a top powerhouse on the mainland. His own strength has always been a mystery. What is certain is that this person has a dragon suspected of being the Dragon King and a Sanctuary Earth Bear following him.

   This person became famous in the last battle between the orcs and the human race. He has turned the tide several times and helped the Principality of Moxi and the Kingdom of Alpha to stabilize the war situation.

  Since his debut, Hudson has experienced countless battles and has not lost a single one so far.

   It is said that this person uses troops very strangely, unable to ponder, especially good at defeating the strong with the weak. "

  After hearing the old man's explanation, the forest elf queen also hesitated. The top powerhouses in the mainland are superimposed and good at using troops, and they are well-rounded commanders.

   When encountering such an enemy, many methods are not easy to use. For example: there is no way to cast the most frightening forbidden spell of the elf magician group.

  If you really want to use the forbidden spell, you must let the strong in the sanctuary pass. Only those who understand the rules will not encounter backlash due to interference in casting spells.

   Of course, this is limited to ordinary forbidden spells. If you use some big moves beyond your own strength, once you are disturbed, the backlash will be immediate.

   "I have heard about the fourth dragon knight in the mainland, but unfortunately I have never seen it.

   If there is a chance to meet him on the battlefield, I really want to see whether this dragon bear knight is powerful or mine..."

  While speaking, a fighting spirit emanated from the elf queen, and the strong coercion made the nearby elf maids retreat again and again.

   Fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and the elf queen restrained her, and once again restored her former elegance, as if nothing had happened.
