The King Chapter 442

  Chapter 442 Turning point

   "Boom..."

   "The city is broken, kill!"

  Accompanied by a loud noise, the crumbling city wall fell down. It wasn't just the city walls that collapsed, but also the confidence that the orcs had struggled to hold on to.

   "Stop it!"

   "Trash, no return!"

  The half-orc general yelled hard, and even hacked two rout soldiers to death with a knife. However, since the defeat occurred, it cannot be reversed by manpower.

   In the blink of an eye, the Frankish soldiers rushed in and quickly captured the city wall.

   Realizing that the situation is over, the half-orc king had to abandon the royal city and carry out a strategic shift.

   "The enemy's offensive is too fierce, Your Majesty, you should go first!

  We are in charge of breaking the back, otherwise no one will be able to leave. "

  The half-orc guard commander said calmly, as if everything was taken for granted.

  The harem who were crying and crying, also bid farewell to the orc king at this moment, and spontaneously joined the team of the broken queen.

No one knows how much effect    can play, but if everyone gathers together, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the enemy.

  A friend in adversity sees the truth. Although the contemporary half-orc king is not a generation of arrogance, he is also a qualified monarch.

  If it was in the Northern Continent where the human race was weak, it might be able to do something.

  It's a pity that he was unlucky and became a neighbor with the First Kingdom of the mainland.

  The gap in strength cannot be made up simply by hard work. Although they have worked very hard, the Frankish Kingdom is on the rise.

  Looking at everyone with nostalgia, the orc king stepped on the monster and escaped from the large army under the guard of dozens of masters.

   Lutetia Palace.

   "Your Majesty, there is news from the front that the army has breached the orc palace and is currently clearing out the remnants of the enemy.

  It's a pity that the city was too chaotic, and there was no Orc King left behind. However, General Bakshi has already sent someone to chase after him, and I believe there will be good news in the near future. "

   Prime Minister Duke Bergson said with a smile.

  The level of civilization of the half-orcs is not high. There are only a few cities in the whole country, which concentrate the industry and commerce of the whole country, and the rest are rural tribes.

  The king's capital is already the last city controlled by the half-orc kingdom. After taking this place, the civilization of the half-orc family was directly beaten back to the tribal era.

   The foundation of the half-orcs was smashed, and the main force of the half-orcs was wiped out. There is no suspense in the follow-up war.

   "Fighted well, the Ministry of Military Affairs drafted a commendation document, and approved the military exploits as soon as possible.

  Tell the frontline generals to complete the purge as soon as possible. There are still too many orcs! "

  Charles III spoke the most ruthless words in the calmest tone.

   This kind of thing has long been familiar to everyone. As an indispensable item in previous continental wars, it is nothing more than a slightly larger scale of this cleansing.

  Looking at the barracks full of evil spirits, the Forest Elf Queen frowned. This is not the life the elves want.

   But there is no way, as one of the few races in the alien alliance that maintains the offensive, the elves play the role of savior in the alliance.

  Although the alliance was defeated, the elves still had the power to settle down, but that was ultimately based on the intensified internal fighting among the human race.

  In case the human race suddenly unifies one day, or even only unifies the northern continent, it will bring them a catastrophe.

  Balance strategy is not fun, especially for small clans to play balance among big clans, it is even more risky.

   Such a low-level strategy, as long as there are other options, no one is willing to pin the survival of the race on the continued infighting of the human race.

   "Sister, the situation is very bad for the Alliance!

  The half-orc kingdom was defeated too quickly, and we didn't even have time to complete the North Continent offensive. If we knew this, we should send troops in advance. "

  The Grassland Elf Queen said with annoyed expression.

  It's all the fault of empiricism. The longer the longevity of the race, the more conservative it is. Relying on the skill of "paddling", the elves can benefit from the continental war every time.

  So much so that when encountering a continental war, their first reaction is: let others fight first.

   No matter how good the strategy is, it will be eliminated sometimes. After experiencing the continental war, the human race became stronger and stronger, while the alien alliance became weaker and weaker.

   After one increase and one decrease, the balance was finally broken. The "paddling" strategy went bankrupt, and the elves had to take up arms and go to war.

   "It's meaningless to say these things now. No one thought that the strength of the Franks would grow so fast, and before they had time to do their best, the half-orcs collapsed ahead of time.

  Even if we send troops ahead of schedule, the war in the southern continent is still beyond our reach.

   It's just that the half-orc kingdom is now collapsing, and the pressure on all parties in the alliance will be great. No one can be sure where the free Franks will target their next attack! "

  The forest elf queen said worriedly.

  With the strength of the Frankish Kingdom, joining any side of the battlefield can change the outcome of the war.

   Originally, the life of the alien alliance was not easy, but now there is such an uncertain factor, the pressure on those in power is even greater.

   "Not only is there a lot of pressure, I think they are going crazy!

  In order for us to send troops as soon as possible, these guys put forward a suggestion in the letter: We need to negotiate peace with the Alpha Kingdom first.

   There are a lot of reasons listed, it seems that if we don't compromise with the Alpha people, we just don't care about the overall situation! "

  The night elf queen complained.

  Because of geographical location, the elves have always occupied a favorable position in the alliance, and everyone begged them to send troops every time.

   Only this time the situation is different. The situation was rotten, but everyone was not worried about them continuing to paddle.

   "It's nothing surprising. The tragedy in the half-orc kingdom has already frightened them. When life and death are at stake, who cares so much.

   What's more, under the current situation in the mainland, it really can't be dragged on.

  Since the establishment of the alliance, the half-orcs were the first core members to be destroyed by the human race, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of all parties.

   If we don't act quickly, there will be a second, a third soon, and the situation will really get out of hand.

   I just didn't expect that the Alpha Kingdom, as the most staunch anti-alliance country in the human race, actually has contacts with all parties, and can let them come forward to help negotiate peace.

   Sure enough, the human race is not trustworthy, and everyone is a decent person. When dealing with them, you must be careful! "

  As soon as the Queen of the Forest Elf finished speaking, all the elves joined the troop of complaints one after another, spraying the human race with blood.

  Curse the curse, the issue of negotiation is still on the agenda. It is true that the human race wants to destroy the alien alliance, but when it comes to subdividing countries, their respective interests are different.

  For example, the Alpha Kingdom does not want the alien races in the central and southern regions to perish. Without these alien constraints, the pattern of strong in the south and weak in the north will further intensify.

  The most pitiful thing is that the alien races in the northern continent cannot be destroyed!

  After the victory in the Continental War, the Terran Alliance will indeed provide support to the countries of the Northern Continent, but this support is very limited.

  It is impossible for them to put all their efforts into completely destroying all the alien races in the Northern Continent.

  Under this background, the high-level leaders of the Alpha Kingdom who are overly crisis-conscious naturally want to protect themselves first.

   The great cause of the human race to unify the continent is not in a hurry for the time being. It may be a better choice to complete it in the next continental war.

  The Tucao meeting got further and further away, and gradually deviated from the topic of the discussion, the forest elf queen had to interrupt: "Stop!

  These issues will be discussed later, but for now let's discuss the situation on the Warhammer Plains.

  Everyone is aware of the situation. Our useless allies have reached the end of their rope.

   If there is no reinforcements, I am afraid they will collapse in a short time. "

   "Sister, what you said is not accurate. Even if reinforcements are sent, they may not be able to persist until the reinforcements arrive.

  In order to support those bastards, we have already built a magician regiment and a full-scale army. We did not have such a big loss when we destroyed the three countries in the North Sea.

  Alphas are difficult to deal with. If they continue to reinforce, some troops will only increase casualties, and will not be effective at all.

  On the current Warhammer Great Plains, in addition to the 30,000 expeditionary army, there are also 80,000 troops sent by the Mosi, and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers left by the Warhammer Kingdom.

   Coupled with the command of a famous mainland general like Hudson, it is not easy to defeat them. If we don't make a move, even if the Alliance of Ancient Survivors transfers all the Southern Expeditions back, it may not be able to win.

   To ensure nothing goes wrong, we must dispatch at least five elite legions. If you want to reduce losses, it is best to dispatch an army of 100,000.

   Not to mention whether we can mobilize so many troops to go there, the current situation of the coalition forces of the ancient survivors can't last that long!

   A few days ago, there was a large-scale dispute over eating the corpses of allies. If Doris hadn't handled it decisively, they might have started fighting themselves.

   If you really want to keep the Ancient Remnant Alliance, then quickly negotiate with the Alpha Kingdom and ask them to recall Hudson back to the country. "

  The night elf queen said angrily.

   It can be seen that she has lost all confidence in the alliance of the ancient survivors.

   Sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops, they were overwhelmed by tens of thousands of enemy cavalry. He has been led by the nose from beginning to end, and has never grasped a strategic initiative.

   If you want to say that the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants has no strength, it is obviously unreasonable. From the perspective of individual combat effectiveness, the soldiers of the ancient survivors are generally higher than human soldiers.

  Even if the expeditionary army is elite, it is not comparable to ordinary human soldiers. When encountering ancient soldiers, they will only hit two at most.

  Unfortunately, when the number expanded, the strength gap between the two sides widened sharply. The expeditionary army can easily overwhelm the enemy army several times its own.

   There is no doubt that this is not because the soldiers are bad, but because the officers above are useless.

  From the high level to the grassroots level, the quality of the officers of the expeditionary army is much higher than that of the alliance of ancient survivors.

   These shortcomings cannot be made up for in a while. There is a racial barrier, even if the elves want to send someone to help them reintegrate the army, there is no room for maneuver.

   "Then start negotiations with the Alpha people as soon as possible. No matter how useless the Ancient Remnants Alliance is, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands. If they tap their potential again, they can mobilize hundreds of thousands more.

   There will be more occasions to fight in the future, and having them join will also reduce the losses of the clansmen. "

  The forest elf queen said calmly.

   It seems that using allies as cannon fodder is a very ordinary thing. There was no trace of guilt on her face. It's a completely different role from the amiable queen in the past.

  A qualified leader must put the interests of race above all else. Just leave the warmth to your family members, and you must show your iron and blood side to the outside world.

  At the expeditionary army camp, Hudson is busy receiving representatives from all walks of life.

  The coalition forces of the ancient survivors were almost driven to a desperate situation by him. In recent days, every day there are stragglers who ventured out of the main force to look for food.

   Helping the Warhammers "recover lost ground" is a political slogan, but judging from the current situation, the slogan seems to be becoming a reality.

  Especially in recent days, various resistance forces have launched fierce counterattacks in various places, and the success of regaining lost ground has never been broken.

  As the situation improved, so did the troubles. After a round of war reshuffle, the original interest groups of the Warhammer Kingdom have been lifted.

  No one mentioned the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms. Those who are active on the battlefield are basically nobles from the Western Warhammer Kingdom.

  This is determined by geographic location.

  West Warhammer Kingdom is mountainous, and in the war years, the mountains are their natural barriers, allowing them to preserve their strength.

  As for the unlucky ones of the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom, most of them are still on their way at this moment, and only a few nobles with quick responses have arrived at the front line.

  A major reshuffle in the military will inevitably lead to political changes.

  The old aristocrats are unwilling to let go of their former interests; the newly rising aristocrats will not easily hand over the territory in their hands.

   As the most powerful faction in the Warhammer Kingdom, in this round of struggle, Hudson naturally has the ability to influence the post-war situation.

  If he wanted, he could bring a minor noble directly to the decision-making center of the Warhammer Kingdom. As long as the throne is not involved, there is very little he can't do.

  Once the dynasty is in power, it is natural that there will be a lot of guests.

  The benefits of door-to-door delivery are not received in vain. If you really don't accept the gift, these local snakes will be in fear instead.

   If the war hadn't ended yet, he would have been even busier.

  Things are not collected for nothing. As a nobleman with integrity, Hudson still gave everyone a "return gift" - a certificate of military exploits issued by the Northern Continent Allied Forces Command.

  Thinking about it is also drunk. Before the outbreak of the Continental War, it was extremely difficult for Hudson to obtain the title of Marshal. Including the title of marshal awarded by the Mosi people, they were all traded back.

  After the outbreak of the Continental War, without waiting for him to do anything, he won a bunch of marshal titles.

  Mainly after the great victory at Fort Augustus, he revealed that he would march westward into the Principality of Orton to prevent the elves from going south.

   Well-informed countries immediately took the most positive stance and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces at the Northern Continent Alliance meeting.

   Regardless of whether Hudson accepted it or not, the Marshal titles came one by one. All the efforts are only for one thing - hurry to block the army of elves.

  The real-time Hudson has pushed, but only accepted the nominal title. However, this does not affect his cashing in the name of the Northern Continent Allied Army Command.

  It may seem like an inconspicuous piece of paper, but it is actually a recognition by the coalition forces of various powerful factions, and it is also the legal basis for their post-war struggle for interests.

   Receiving the gift was soft, and it did not affect Hudson's strategic deployment. It has been seven days since the enemy army was hanging, and even if the elven air force dropped food occasionally, the coalition army that couldn't fill their stomachs was on the verge of collapse.

   "Pass down the order and let the army bury the pot to make food, and the enemy will be defeated tonight!"

  The war has come to this point, and Hudson is too lazy to hide. He still chose to attack at night, not because he likes field battles.

   But a similar operation, he has played the enemy three times. Every time he made a posture of starry night attack, and after the enemy army gathered the determination to fight to the death, he resolutely chose to give up.

  Continuous tossing back and forth, but the enemy general who boosted morale suffers. "Determination to fight to the death" is not always available.

  The blood is boiling, and it is destined to be impossible to continue. Even if the soldiers want to continue, the hungry stomach will not allow it.

   "Yes, Marshal!"

  The night gradually fell, and under the urging of the kings of various tribes, the soldiers forcibly raised their tired bodies to form an array, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

   Yawned, the giant king said angrily: "There is no need to wait any longer, this is another tactic of the enemy to exhaust the troops.

  The so-called attack is nothing more than sending hundreds of cavalry to harass. If a general offensive is really launched, why should the enemy tell us in advance?

   If we continue to toss like this, I am afraid that we will be tossed and crippled before the enemy attacks. "

  Looking in the direction of the Giant King's finger, a soldier fainted and was escorted into the camp by two soldiers.

   It's just that the soldier on the left was out of state, and slipped his feet inadvertently, causing the three of them to fall to the ground together.
