The King Chapter 451

  The army of elves marched southward, and the situation in the Kingdom of Hesse became tense. The threat of the old neighbors, the Stone People, has not been eliminated, and now a powerful enemy has been added.

   The only easy one is probably the Count Louis Vuitton. Misfortunes and blessings, the Hessians had annexed the counties of Korubia before, but now they are such a headache.

  The expansion of the territory made the Kingdom of Hesse the first among the three countries in the mainland to face off against the army of elves, a proper dungeon of hell.

   Gratitude does not exist. It's not that he asked the Hessians to help block the knife, and if he didn't do anything to delay his progress, he was just taking care of the overall situation.

   After all, he is not a direct descendant of the kingdom, and he was able to have a position in the high-level meeting because Alexander V took into account the international influence.

   There is not much sense of presence, and Earl Louis Vuitton is also happy to paddle. Feel free to toss around, anyway, not long ago he was transferred again, from a wealthy county to a remote mountain county.

  The backcountry also has the benefits of the backcountry. Even if an army of foreign races comes over, it won't be his turn for a while.

   "The Kingdom of Alpha and the Principality of Moxi refused to send troops together. What's going on? Don't they have any strategic awareness?"

  Alexander V asked with a puzzled expression.

  Open the map and you will know that once the Kingdom of Hesse retreats, the Kingdom of Alpha and the Principality of Moxi will be surrounded on three sides by the alien alliance.

  Anyone with a little common sense knows that under such a comprehensive and passive strategic structure, the two countries may be in danger of being destroyed at any time.

   "Your Majesty, according to the information from the north, the orc army just won a big victory, and the Alpha Kingdom was forced to abandon many provinces in the northern border.

  In order to deal with the orc invasion, they have concentrated their forces to the northern border, and they are really powerless against the elves' invasion.

  The principality of Moxi borders too many areas with foreign races, and the reluctance to send troops is probably because they are afraid of getting burned.

   What's more, in recent years, they have been strategically following the Alpha Kingdom. Not long ago, the Alliance of the Ancient Remains invaded, and the Alphas helped them solve it. It is not surprising that the two countries continue to agree.

  Of course, it does not rule out that the two countries and the elves have reached an agreement in secret. "

   Foreign Minister Marquis Krasner explained in a difficult way.

   It's not that their Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't work hard, it's that the reasons for their refusal to send troops are too strong, and there is no room for exerting pressure.

  The army of orcs has invaded the country. They have to protect themselves first, and there is no fault at all.

   In a sense, the current passive situation is also caused by themselves. If they had supported the Northern Continent at the beginning of the war, the situation would never have collapsed so quickly.

   But the problem is that they are not the only country on the mainland. If you only contribute your own efforts and others look at it, everyone will feel unbalanced.

  The impression of the elves paddling is too deep. Everyone is lucky, thinking that they can end the war before the elves intervene.

  With this mentality, when the countries in the Northern Continent asked for help, the three major kingdoms in the Central Continent chose to wait and see.

   This wait-and-see will cause a big problem. When they realize that the situation is wrong, it will be too late to take action.

  The expected meat shield Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi did not play their due role, and they did not fight the elf army at all.

  Although it is suspected that they have reached an agreement secretly, if there is no evidence, it will only bring shame upon the Human Race Alliance.

   After all, the Alpha Kingdom has always been on the front line in the fight against alien races, and its contribution to the human race is obvious to all.

   "Forget it, the two of them can't divide their forces, so it's fine if they don't send troops.

  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hastened to contact the countries in the central continent, especially the Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Bank, and must form a coalition army in the central mainland in the shortest possible time to prevent the army of elves from going south! "

  Alexander V said helplessly.

   It seems to be an understatement, but in fact his heart is not peaceful at all. Without the participation of the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi, it is not only a reduction in military strength, but also a comprehensive passive strategy.

  According to their original strategic deduction, the elf army should destroy the Principality of Moxie, and severely damage the Kingdom of Alpha before going south to avoid threats to the flanks.

  Although it is not known whether the three parties have reached an agreement, anyway, the elf army went directly south, as if not worried about the threat to the flanks.

   "Your Majesty, let's ask the Alliance for help!

  The Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Coast are similar to our situation. They are all busy with their own wars, and the troops they can deploy are limited.

  The rest of the small countries are all vassals of our three countries, and their strength is very limited. Even if they form a large army, it may be difficult to stop the elf army. "

   Earl Nicholas suggested.

  As the Minister of Military Affairs, he is too familiar with the military strength of the Central Continent. There has been no major war for many years, and the army has long been unfamiliar. Now they are all trainees on the battlefield.

  From the outbreak of the war to the present, all kinds of messy things have emerged one after another.

   Kong has national power, but because of the low efficiency of the government and the poor coordination of all aspects, it is unable to exert its full strength.

  Each of them led their younger brothers to work, and they were all chicken feathers from the same place. After forming a coalition, there were more troubles.

  The only good news is that everyone grew up in the war. If the army of elves came later, the situation would be completely different when the generals of all countries had grown up.

   "Count Nicholas, your thinking is too simple. If it is effective to ask the alliance for help, the elf army will not be able to reach our doorstep.

  The countries in the northern continent have long asked for help from the alliance. No matter how tight the battle situation is, they will not be completely unable to mobilize their troops.

   Leaving aside the declining Kingdom of Oprus, Avalat, and Ruthenia, we, the Kingdom of Dante, and the Kingdom of the South Shore will each deploy seven or eight main armies. It will not be difficult to reinforce the North Continent, right?

  The Kingdom of Iberia is stronger than us. Since the outbreak of the war, it has suppressed the alien race. It is not a problem to deploy a dozen or so main armies.

  The Holy See and the Frankish Kingdom, which are more powerful, have never felt the pressure, and they can easily do it by deploying 20 legions each.

  Collection of other small countries, the entire Human Race Alliance can send millions of troops to the North Continent at the beginning of the war.

  Unfortunately, because of their own interests, everyone made excuses to refuse.

  The more clear the situation is now, the less likely the major powers in the Southern Continent will send troops. Asking them for help is meaningless except to humiliate yourself.

  In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already contacted them, and everyone guessed the final result.

  Everyone is talking about reinforcements, but when it comes to specific actions, they just want to annex the surrounding alien races as soon as possible and strengthen their own strength.

  Now they are wishing that we and the alien army will lose both. Anyway, the war will not end for a while, and they can finish their own work and come out to clean up the mess! "

  After hearing Marquis Krasner's mocking words, everyone looked embarrassed.

  When the countries in the Northern Continent asked for help, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advocated sending troops, but it was rejected by everyone.

   Facts have proved that the theory of cold lips and teeth is really effective.

  With no big country leading the reinforcements, the situation in the North Continent quickly collapsed, and the Kingdom of Hesse was forced to take up the banner of resisting the invasion of the elf army.

  The flames of war have reached my own home, and I can no longer hide. Regardless of the final outcome of the war, the strategic plan of the Kingdom of Hesse went bankrupt.

   A similar scene happened at the same time in the Kingdom of the South Bank and the Kingdom of Dante. With the pain of the skin, you can understand the pain of being betrayed.

  The mountain leader, after glancing at the information in his hand, Hudson shook his head secretly.

  This continental war has buried more than a dozen countries. However, this is just the beginning. If nothing else happens, more countries will be destroyed in the future.

   If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a big reshuffle within the Terran world.

  The former top ten kingdoms in the mainland, the Warhammer Kingdom has become history. Even if the country can be restored after the war, it will not change the fate of decline.

  The Kingdom of Oprus, the Kingdom of Avalat, and the Kingdom of Ruthenia, which performed poorly in the war, have now clearly fallen behind.

  When a big country goes down, it's best to hope that its neighbors go down with it. Just judging from the current situation, this seems to be a luxury.

  If the Three Kingdoms cannot stand up, they will inevitably be swallowed up and divided after the war. As for the length of this time period, it depends on everyone's integrity.

  In a sense, the future fate of the Three Kingdoms is directly proportional to the speed at which the moral system collapses.

  In addition to these three countries with internal problems, the Alpha Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms of the Central Continent are also being tested, and their future fate depends entirely on the follow-up wars.

   For a moment Hudson felt the pressure. In the face of the great era, personal power is too fragile.

  The power of the Mountain Land Territory is still a force in the eyes of the Alpha Kingdom. But if you look at the entire continent, you won't be ranked at all.

   What troubled him the most was that someone was robbing him of refugees. Such a move is completely interrupting the development process of the mountain territory.

  Obviously knows who the other party is, but he still can't do anything. Compared with the most powerful country in the mainland, the chips in his hands are really too few.

  "The order is passed down, let the people of the immigration agency take the initiative to attack, and can't sit there and wait for the refugees to come to the door.

  Don't focus on the North Continent, the flames of war are about to reach the Central Continent, and our old neighbors will soon be in trouble.

   Arrange people there, wait for the Hesse Kingdom to fall into war, and then wait for the opportunity to take action.

  I don't care how to do it, I want to get him back anyway. Remember to be quiet, and don't hang my banner.

  When necessary, you can spend money to buy mercenaries and slave trade organizations. If something happens, let them take the blame. "

   Hudson said seriously.

  The situation is changing too fast, and it is impossible not to take risks. For the sake of territorial development, he couldn't care less about offending the Kingdom of Hesse.

  Anyway, they are already in a vortex, and the losses in the next war will definitely not be small. Even if he found out about his little tricks after the war, he probably didn't have time to worry about it.

   Besides, their relationship with the kingdom has deteriorated long ago. Even if it is a diplomatic protest, the kingdom will probably ignore it. As long as you can save face, that's fine.

   "Yes, Earl!"

  After arranging the affairs of the territory, Hudson went straight to the capital without stopping. It is not easy to be a commander-in-chief during a war, even if you want to take a vacation.

   After staying in the territory for less than two days, he was urged by the kingdom to go back to handle military affairs. It was all caused by the unfavorable frontline warfare.

  Although the strategic contraction plan was proposed by him in order to preserve the strength of the kingdom, all parties still cannot tolerate the loss of cities and territories.

  Fortunately, Marquis James took the trouble alone, and the Kingdom did not announce that it was giving up voluntarily, otherwise Hudson would be scolded.

  The public opinion environment in the kingdom is like this, as long as the front line loses the city and land, it is a heinous crime.

   It would be fine if there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. The nobles had more or less knowledge and could understand what was unavoidable.

   Now there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. Because of the command error, everyone can't stand the defeat all the way on the front line!

  It's hard to be a good person.

  The strategic contraction was mainly to keep the noble lords in the north. It turned out that the nobles in the border area of ​​northern Xinjiang happened to be the most troublesome now.

   Hudson also understands their feelings, whoever loves their territory. It took a lot of effort to get a little improvement in business, and now I must give up suddenly, I must be reluctant.

   But there is no way, if the supply of strategic materials is not available, the battle cannot be fought at all. Either take the initiative to shrink strategically now, or be forced to retreat when the strategic supplies are exhausted.

  First, the aristocratic lords in the border area were making trouble, and then the five northern dukes took over and gradually became the main force.

  To sum it up in one sentence, the flames of war are at the door of the house, and one's own core is damaged.

   James Marquis is having a hard time. Facing the pressure of public opinion coming to his face, he couldn't stand it anymore.

  Even without Hudson as a substitute, it is only a matter of time before he is ousted.

  Hundreds of aristocratic lords have already requested the kingdom to change their commanders. This kind of thing is very rare in the more than 300-year history of the Alpha Kingdom.

  The kingdom couldn't withstand the pressure, so naturally it couldn't let Hudson idle. Even if the expeditionary legion is in a rest period, he has to take over the position of commander.

  "The frontlines continue to suffer setbacks, and now the morale of the army has been severely damaged. The most urgent task is to restore confidence.

  It is not enough to just change the coach, we must also send reinforcements to boost everyone's confidence.

  Deploy five standing legions, and then recruit five legions from provinces that have not yet been mobilized, forming an army of 100,000 and rushing to the front. "

  At the Royal Capital Meeting, Hudson made a direct request.

  Because of guarding against the army of elves, not all the standing army of the kingdom was sent to the battlefield in the northern border, and the provinces in the southwestern region did not recruit troops to fight.

   Now that the contract is signed, the threat of the elves can be ignored for the time being, and the kingdom can also deal with the northern battlefield freely.

   "The troops on the front line have been seriously damaged, and it is necessary to deploy reinforcements. It's just that the Marshal sent 100,000 troops, isn't it a little short?"

   Otherwise, recruit ten more legions to gather 200,000 troops. "

   Archduke Afiero asked hesitantly.

  The situation on the front line was tense. During the retreat, they suffered several defeats and lost a lot of troops. The 100,000 troops only made up for the losses.

   I wish readers a happy May Day, and luckily caught up.
