The King Chapter 429

  Emerald Palace, after the fall of the Duchy of Kantruo, the Ustad Duchy and the Fick Duchy asked for help, and soon appeared in front of Caesar IV.

"snort!"

   "It's simply unreasonable!"

   "How dare you threaten to surrender, Ustad and Fick are trying to make us..."

   Facing the roar of Caesar IV, all the ministers sat upright, lest they accidentally attract the firepower of their own king.

  Smart people know that Caesar IV's gaffe is not just the two letters for help in front of him, but more because he has been too aggrieved in the recent days.

  Since the outbreak of the Continental War, Caesar IV's power has been squeezed by the military.

   It is useless to be dissatisfied. The major domestic forces, including the royal family, have reached an agreement to prevent the king from intervening in the military.

   Due to internal pressure, Caesar IV could only choose to endure. One day or two days, you can comfort yourself by taking care of the overall situation. No one can stand the depression for a long time!

   Unknowingly, Caesar IV's temper is also increasing day by day. It's just that it is well concealed in normal times, and it is rarely exposed in front of outsiders.

  The help letters from Ustad Principality and Fick Principality became sparks that detonated the powder keg.

   After a wave of venting, Caesar IV, who calmed down, gradually calmed down. No matter how much you scold, you have to face reality.

   It wasn't that they were forced to the wall, Usta and Fick could never do such a thing. Surrender is easy to say, but extremely difficult to operate.

  The continental war is in a stalemate. Both the human race and the alien alliance have their own advantages and disadvantages. No one can judge the final outcome.

  In this situation, standing on the wrong team is very fatal. In case the human race wins a big victory, Qiuhou will calculate the score, and the guy who surrendered to the alien race will not even think about running away.

   "Your Majesty, the Duchy of Ustad and the Duchy of Fick wrote such letters, most likely because they were stimulated by the fall of the Duchy of Kantruu, and acted impulsively.

   After calming down, the top leaders of the two countries should make rational choices.

  The war has progressed to the present, both sides are covered with each other's blood, and the unforgettable hatred has been forged, and it is not so easy to unravel.

  Following the elves, the status of the Ustas and Feks is destined not to be high, and they may be deliberately tossed.

  Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Over time, their local ruling foundation will be gone.

   This is still the case for building alien wins. If the Terrans win a big victory, they will be liquidated immediately.

  The surrender of the Principality of Ustad and the Principality of Fick has a great impact on the situation in the North Continent. This is the reason why everyone must rescue them.

  But no matter how good the reason is, the actual situation must also be considered. Except for a few neighboring countries, even if other countries want to send reinforcements, it will take a long time.

  Taking the kingdom as an example, according to the normal situation, it will take two months to arrive at the earliest when forming reinforcements, preparing strategic materials for the expedition, and adding the time for marching all the way.

  Based on the situation of the Principality of Ustad and the Principality of Fick, not to mention resisting the elf army for two months, they can persist for another month, which is the favor of the Lord of Dawn.

  Maybe they threatened not really wanting reinforcements, but wanting to use the last bargaining chip in their hands in exchange for a promise from all parties. "

   Earl Francis analyzed rationally.

  Surrender has completely ruined its foundation, which is equivalent to slow suicide; resisting a narrow escape may not necessarily be able to keep the basic market.

  Not to mention the extreme situation where the high-level group of the Duchy of Cantrue was wiped out, even if all the high-level leaders of the two countries withdraw safely, the restoration of the country has become a dream.

  If the human race wins a big victory, the lost land will definitely be regained, but it is hard to say whether they are the masters of the land.

  The major forces of the human race are not doing charity. Sending troops to recover the lost land is not only for the righteousness of the human race, but also to divide up the corresponding interests.

   Land of No Man is not enough, so we can only grab the soft persimmons and forcefully divide the benefits to appease the heroes.

  The collapsed Principality of Kantruo, as well as the soon-to-be-finished Principalities of Ustad and Fick, are all soft persimmons.

   If you don't take advantage of the time when you can talk, to fight for some rights and interests, not only will you lose your noble status after the war, you may lose your life.

  As long as the obligation is fulfilled, everyone will naturally not touch them on the surface, but it is difficult to say secretly.

  The infighting among the aristocratic group is also very intense. If you have no strength in your hands and block the way of others, you can imagine the fate.

   "If you want to negotiate terms, it depends on what they want. The Kingdom can guarantee that it will not seek the interests of the two of them.

  But we are not the one who has the final say on the continent of Yaslant, and we cannot control what other big forces think.

   Judging from the current situation, the post-war kingdom's national strength will inevitably be weakened. There is a high probability that the right to speak in the North Continent will also be reduced.

  If they want us to stand out and give an exact guarantee, I'm afraid they are thinking too much. "

  The Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, said unhappily.

  Alpha Kingdom has enough troubles of its own, and it is not bad to be able to protect its own interests after the war, so there is no need to care about others.

  The threat of Ustad Principality and Fick Principality undoubtedly pierced this layer of window paper, allowing everyone to face the reality of the kingdom's imminent decline in advance.

   Anger is anger, but the Grand Duke of Newfoundland is not panicking. As long as a big country is not corrupted internally, even if it declines due to external forces for a short period of time, it will recover quickly.

   "Judging from the current strategic situation, the Principality of Ustad and the Principality of Fick are still valuable, we need them to buy time for Marshal Hudson.

  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may wish to contact them. As long as the two countries can resist to the end, we can promise to support their restoration.

  The level of support is linked to their resistance. As long as they can hold back the elf army for another two months, the kingdom will do its best to support them. "

  The Grand Duke Afiero drew the pie without changing his face.

  For a country with a territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, it seems that there is no difficulty in resisting the invasion of foreign enemies for two hours.

   But this is in theory, the elves are scrambling for time, and they don't need to occupy every inch of land. As long as people win the main strategic points, the army can continue to march.

  If you want to hold back the elf army, you can only block the only way they must pass, and stick to the fortress.

   "Your Majesty, let alone two months. It is a miracle that the Duchy of Ustad and the Duchy of Fick can persist for another month.

  Because of being close to the elves, their military strength has always been suppressed, and the standing army in peacetime is less than 30,000.

  The number of strong people is even pitifully small, and almost no arrogance is born. Occasionally a few geniuses are born, and accidents happen soon.

  For the safety of the younger generations, the great nobles of the two countries usually send outstanding younger generations abroad for training, and they will only return when their strength reaches a certain level.

  Faced with the current complicated situation, it was too late for them to transfer their children, let alone recall the children who had gone out. "

   Count Francis shook his head and said.

  Painting cakes also needs to pay attention to skills. If you can be sure at a glance, this cake can be seen but not eaten, and it can't fool people.

   What's more, "support" and "guarantee" are completely different concepts in the two countries.

  Supporting them to restore the country can be supported by actual actions or by words. It is too far from guaranteeing that they can return to the country.

  Regarding national reputation, this kind of public promise must basically be fulfilled as long as it is made.

   "Let's do this!

  No matter what choices the Ustad Principality and Fick Principality make, our bottom line is here. It is possible to support their post-war restoration, but we cannot guarantee it.

   It is estimated that all countries in the mainland cannot give such a guarantee. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should work hard to make them realize the reality as soon as possible.

  The Ministry of Military Affairs reported the matter to Marshal Hudson, asking him to seize the time to defeat the coalition forces of the ancient survivors as soon as possible. The time left for the kingdom is running out. "

   Caesar IV waved his hand and said.

  Frankly speaking, he didn't want to interfere with the frontline command. The increasingly complicated situation had already made him breathless.

   Regardless of his personal opinion of Hudson, Hudson is the hope of the kingdom right now. The future fate of the kingdom depends entirely on the situation on the front line.

   In front of the foundation of the ancestors, there is no room for willfulness. If not, before the expeditionary force set off, he would not deliberately get closer to Hudson.

  Although it is a superficial effort, it is better than nothing. At least it sent a signal to the outside world, the relationship between the king and the marshal is very close.

   "Marshal, we have contacted the resistance forces in the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom. According to the information they provided, the enemy is gathering in Deklas Province.

   According to preliminary estimates, the gathered enemy troops are no less than 200,000. More detailed information is still under investigation. "

  After listening to Tom's report, Hudson was shocked, and directly found the location of the Deklaas Province on the map.

   After a brief pause in his gaze, Hudson was speechless. The enemy was so frightened that they chose to assemble in a mountainous province hundreds of miles away.

  Cavalry is powerful in combat, but cavalry combat is also very challenging in terrain. It is definitely easier for cavalry to fight in plains than in mountains.

  The enemy is fully prepared, and it is almost impossible to launch a big surprise attack to severely damage the enemy.

  What worries Hudson the most is that the enemy doesn't come out to fight him, but hides in the city, wasting time with him.

   "Marshal, the enemy has been frightened by you, and I'm afraid they won't fight us easily in the future.

  Time is on the enemy's side. They just need to wait for the elves army to kill them, and the two sides will meet in the Duke of Orton.

  Even the army of the Alliance of Ancient Remains in the Principality of Orton may suddenly turn around and attack the Principality of Ustad and the Principality of Fick with the elf army first.

  If the enemy makes up his mind to delay the time and directly defend the city, it may be difficult for us to obtain results in the future. "

   Jose analyzed with a frown.

  Under the current situation, the pressure on the expeditionary force is too great. In order to severely injure the Ancient Remnants Alliance with limited forces, it is also necessary to race against time.

   "If the enemy doesn't come out, then mobilize them to come out. Pass down the order to let the army pack their bags and set off early tomorrow morning!"

  They can temporarily abandon the vast land of the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom, but do they dare to give up the retreat of the coalition forces?

   Interspersed behind enemy lines, I will see how long they can hide in Deklaas Province. If they don't fall for the trick, then go all the way from the Warhammer Great Plains to the Principality of Orton.

   They are all enemies anyway, so it's the same to deal with their main force over there first! Just after the fight, you can also see the army of elves. "

   Hudson said pretending to be calm.

  He said it easily, but deep down he and Jose came to the same conclusion, this war is difficult to fight!

  The enemy didn't dare to fight him until the main force was assembled. If the opponent is allowed to complete the assembly, it will become Hudson who dare not go to court for death.

  No matter how elite the troops under his command are, it is impossible to attack the prepared hundreds of thousands of army camps.

   The best fighter is always in motion. The high mobility of the cavalry is born to fight mobile warfare.

   Deep down, Hudson had already prepared for the worst. No matter how the situation develops, the first thing he needs to ensure is that the army under his command will not suffer a big defeat.

   It is not his style to rush to the battlefield to gamble on luck in order to seize time.

  Anyway, he has tried his best and is worthy of the title of marshal. If the situation is corrupt, it will be corrupt, and this is not something he can control alone.

   Unable to block the army of elves from the country, the big deal is to go back to fight the homeland defense war, which is nothing more than suffering the border provinces of the kingdom.

  Even with the addition of an orc empire, the flames of war will not reach the southeast coast for a while, and the safety of the old nest is relatively guaranteed.

  As long as the elves don't stick to the kingdom, and the kingdom persists until the end of the continental war, Hudson is still sure.

  Flander Kingdom, after a series of bitter battles, they had to withdraw their main force back to Xingang for the final resistance.

   "What, the Kingdom of Light has fallen?"

   Philip I exclaimed.

  The Kingdom of Light and the Farland Kingdom are the most powerful among the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, and the two countries have persisted the longest in the face of the invasion of the orc army.

  Watching the fall of allies one by one, only the two countries are still making the final insistence. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, the last ally was gone.

  Fighting alone, or fighting alone without reinforcements, this feeling is really not good.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!

  Bright Kingdom broke through last night, and it is unknown how many people escaped. Anyway, their king has fallen.

  On the entire prairie, only the kingdom is left to make the final resistance. If nothing else happened, the orcs would definitely step up their attack on Xingang next. "

  Prime Minister Draai replied bitterly.

  No one likes a war that continues to be fought even though it knows it can't be won.

  Compared with all the unlucky allies, the situation of Farland Wheel Kingdom is much better. The capital is at the port, so you can run away at any time.

  The current fierce resistance is mainly because everyone is making political capital. The most important thing is: Run ahead of time, the Alpha Kingdom refuses to let them pass.

   Life safety is guaranteed, so fight slowly! Anyway, there is nothing to be done, and they can board the ship and leave. No matter how powerful the orcs are, they will not be able to chase them to the sea.

   Ah, late
