The King

  Chapter 211 Cold-faced Duke

   After a brief conversation, Hudson understood Harley's intention.

  As expected, Dapez's battle situation is tight, and they need to make some moves.

   Cutting off the logistics of the orc army is purely a great goal, and it is impossible to think of it without drinking a few pounds.

  Thinking about the guys in the capital, they don't have such illusions either. The main purpose is to get them moving so that the orcs don't continue to increase their troops.

  Although there is no specific data, Hudson can also calculate that the orc army besieging Dapes will not be less than 300,000 based on the mobilization of troops from the Bearman Royal Court.

   This number is still increasing. Although the elite troops are only the first ones, the cannon fodder seems to have no upper limit.

   The reason for all this is clear without studying Hudson. It is nothing more than the nobles in the inland provinces are easier to bully, and it is less difficult to obtain food supplies.

  Any castle, conquering it will bring a lot of gains.

   Even if the defenders burned the granary, it would be useless. The stomachs of the orcs were strong enough to satisfy their hunger with charred grain.

  As long as the speed of breaking the city is fast enough, the food will not be burned out.

   With all the meat and food available, the pressure on logistics has been reduced, so we can naturally continue to increase troops to the front line.

  Many ants kill elephants.

  Watching more and more besieged orc armies, the pressure on the isolated defenders can be imagined.

   "Understood Baron Harley, please tell Marshal Hodge, we will wait for the opportunity to find a fighter.

   Within this month at the latest, the expeditionary force will plan a major operation, just let him wait for our good news. "

   Hudson promised heartily.

   There are actions, and the specific time depends on when the orcs give them a chance.

   After all, elite soldiers are produced, and Hudson also needs to find a suitable opportunity to let the two newly formed legions meet blood.

  The Battle of Dacias cannot be counted, and the defeated soldiers who are chased by others will not have the effect of exercise at all.

   "Thank you Earl Hudson for your understanding. Your Excellency the Marshal is under a lot of pressure now. To tell you the truth, we have failed to return after several attacks.

  You are aware of the situation in Dapace. The Terran Alliance decided to launch a war against the orcs, but the issue of troop quotas was still arguing. "

   Baron Halley said worriedly.

  Different from outsiders like Hudson, the local nobles of the Principality of Moxi have great expectations for the defense of Dapez, or this is their last hope.

  Once Dapace falls, the Principality of Moxi can basically declare coolness. Just listen to the relocation of the capital and fight again, the most affluent Great Plains are lost, and the remaining rotten land simply cannot support the next war.

   Restoring the country after the war depends on the situation. If it was just to drive away the orc army, with this evil neighbor, it is estimated that not many people would plan to plot the land of the Principality of Moxi.

  But this time the Terran Alliance is determined to give the orcs a good look. In case the orc empire is really hit hard, it helps the Alpha Kingdom regain its lost ground, and the Principality of Moxi has become a safe rear again.

   Wealth + safety, looting is inevitable. The nobles who participated in the war came together to share the pie, and the Principality of Moxi, which relied on others to support the restoration of the country, did not speak hard.

  The best way is to be able to stand up, lest they all be beaten into exiled nobles, with no capital in their hands, and can only let outsiders come to share the cake.

   "Don't worry, Baron Harley, the problems facing our two countries are similar. If there is a problem in your country, we will not be much better.

  Looking at what the orcs did was clearly the last madness.

   It is estimated that they were frightened by the alliance's resolution, trying to quickly sweep the northern land before the coalition forces of various countries came, so as to attract other alien races to join the war.

  However, this evil approach is doomed to fail. The great Lord of Dawn will not watch his people being slaughtered by orcs all the time.

   Now is the last darkness before dawn, the light will come soon.

  In view of the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from various countries, I think your country can first seek some help from the alliance that can be realized as soon as possible.

  For example: lack of strategic materials, weapons and equipment, or high-end power support, especially air power.

  Hawkmen fly above our heads all day long, and many secrets are exposed, which is really hard to guard against.

  The connection between our various units still needs to be strengthened. If you have enough air power and link the defenders on the entire defense line, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted can definitely be doubled. "

   Hudson tried to persuade.

  If you don't take things from the Human Race Alliance, you won't take them for nothing. If it really received funding from various countries, as an expeditionary force representing the Alpha Kingdom, it would definitely be able to get a share of the pie.

  As for the debt issue involved, that is a matter of the Principality of Moxi, and has nothing to do with him, the guest general.

  Small calculations are not important, the key is that these suggestions are really solving problems.

  Nesting in the Fort of Flying Bears, he hesitated to take any action, not because the orc army was powerful, and it was not because Hudson was timid.

  In recent days, Hudson has been studying the habits of the Eagle scouts, hoping to find an opportunity to give them a wave of ruthlessness, and plan a hunting operation by the way.

  However, there is still a high level of uncertainty. If the Eagle scouts were cautious enough to observe from a distance and not come within range, Hudson could do nothing.

  Even if the scouts succeed for the first time, the scouts will not return for a long time, and the enemy will send people over for the second and third time. It is only a matter of time before they are exposed.

  Even if Bear Stearns makes a move, there is no way to guarantee that a large number of Eagles will be kept. After all, flying in the air, the line of sight is wide enough.

   Adjacent Eagle scouts can keep a sufficient distance. It is also difficult to complete at the same time if you want to silence.

   If you really want to take action, the time left for the army to act is only a few hours. The battle must be ended quickly before the troops are withdrawn.

   "Your Excellency, I will truthfully report your feedback to the country. I will notify you as soon as I have the result.

   But to strengthen communication, I can apply for two griffin cavalry to be stationed in Flying Bear's Fort. If there is a situation, we can contact immediately. "

   Baron Harley replied seriously.

   These problems are far beyond his authority, even beyond the authority of Marshal Hodge. All he can do is report it.

   It was the dignitaries in the royal capital who made the final decision. Even two Griffin cavalry need to apply to Marshal Hodge.

"All right!"

   Hudson nodded and said.

  Something is better than nothing, although only two griffin cavalry were fooled for the time being, that was a good start.

  The main duty is to strengthen communication, and it is feasible to go out occasionally to investigate the enemy's situation.

  There are few aerial scouts, so use them as a baby. It is not extravagant to find out the detailed intelligence of the enemy, as long as the enemy's movement is determined at the critical moment.

  Deep in his heart, Hudson became more and more enthusiastic about the idea of ​​forming an air force.

  Unfortunately, this is not a problem that you can have if you want to or not. Not to mention an individual, even if it is a country, it is very difficult to build an air force.

  The biggest problem is that flying monsters are hard to find. They are all flying in the sky, and the probability of being captured alive is very low; even less can be domesticated.

  Under normal circumstances, they can only plan for the eggs of monsters, and take them back to find a way to incubate them.

   Among the human race, the most widely used is the Griffin Cavalry. It's not that the Griffon Cavalry has the strongest combat effectiveness, it's mainly because the hatching success rate of Griffin eggs is higher than other monsters.

   On the contrary, it is a high-level flying monster. Even if you get their eggs, it is difficult to hatch them, let alone mass-produce them.

  Frankly speaking, this is a long road, and what is needed is accumulation. Even if the Warcraft is hatched, it will be difficult to use it in a short time.

   Often the formation of an air force requires the efforts of several generations. To reproduce and expand, the financial, manpower, and material resources needed to be invested are all astronomical.

   Far water can't quench thirst, Hudson can only temporarily abandon redundant thoughts, and hope that the power of the human race alliance can solve the threat in the sky.

  …

  The eastern defense line of the Warhammer Kingdom, except for the orc army who came to test the defense line at the beginning of the collapse of Fort Augustus, these days have been calm.

   It was unbelievably quiet. If it weren't for the fact that the diplomats of the Warhammer Kingdom had been active outside, it would have been almost overlooked that they were also one of the protagonists of the war.

  If the orc army doesn't invade, the Warhammer Kingdom doesn't dare to take the initiative to do things. Apart from the continuous expansion of the army, all that's left is to strengthen the defense line.

  In a sense, it is the outrageous low-keyness of the Warhammer Kingdom that has created the current tragedy of the Principality of Moxie.

  If they had learned from the Alpha Kingdom, after the orc army turned around and turned to the Principality of Moxi, they would make troubles on the border every now and then, the current situation would definitely be different.

  Of course, if they really did this, the Principality of Moxi might indeed be saved, but they might be the ones who were hammered.

   On the one hand, the allies are beaten, and on the other hand, they are beaten. This multiple choice question is easy to do.

  Although it is somewhat immoral, between countries, it is not possible to make a living by relying on morality.

  The peaceful years will be broken one day. At some point, Duke Daniel's tent suddenly appeared at the border between the Principality of Moxi and the Kingdom of Warhammer.

  With a few guards, he strolled low-key on the border, measuring the mountain, the water, and the place with his feet, like a low-level orc officer patrolling the border.

   The soldiers of the Warhammer Kingdom did not come out to stop the scene that was not surprising. It's not that the officers and soldiers on the front line didn't have bloodshed, it's mainly because the kingdom suddenly ordered them not to provoke border conflicts.

   Counting the days, it was just after the Terran Alliance made the decision to go to war against the Orc Empire.

  Before this, although the Warhammer Kingdom was equally low-key, under the pressure of its allies, it still went out every now and then to kill a few orcs.

  The sudden stop now is naturally because the danger is about to be lifted, and the original Triple Alliance has become tasteless.

   Standing on the standpoint of Warhammer Kingdom, this is definitely the most correct choice. Only by preserving strength in the early stage of the war can it be possible to reap enough benefits for the kingdom later.

  Of course, for the high-level leaders of the Warhammer Kingdom, as long as they don't continue to be neighbors with the orcs, it doesn't matter even if they get nothing.

   Alpha Kingdom wants to regain lost ground, no problem. As the best allies, they have absolutely full support.

   There is no other reason. Since they became neighbors with the orcs, their daily military expenditures have tripled.

   It's not over yet. Under the harassment of orcs, many lands in the border area were forced to be abandoned, and many provinces in the north were not peaceful.

  In the current war, it seems that the Warhammer Kingdom has not lost much. In fact, from the day the war broke out, the rich and powerful men in the kingdom have rarely been able to sleep well.

  The enemy may come over at any time, and the days without coming are often the most tormenting.

   Need to be vigilant all the time, suppressed for a long time, and seeing the tragedy of the Principality of Moxi, the top management of the Warhammer Kingdom has become more conservative.

  It's a pity that this kind of restraint and show of favor falls into the eyes of the orc executives as cowardice. In the Orc Empire, only the weak need to humble themselves, and the strong disdain this.

   There was a certain distance in the defense line, Duke Daniel suddenly stopped, and said indifferently: "There is no need to continue, the cowards in the Warhammer Kingdom are well prepared.

  Although the defense line has not yet been completed, it is difficult to break through in a short time with what we see now.

  The Terran Alliance has stepped in, and we don't have much time left, so we can't spend it here with them.

   Subpoena to the imperial court, I support the attack on the Kingdom of Warhammer. However, the places to break through must be chosen by me personally. "

   If there are inconsistencies, the accompanying envoy of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor will be completely surrounded. However, due to the majesty of Duke Daniel, he could only force himself to suppress his doubts.

   "The Duke of Cold Face" is not called for nothing. Unless this person is willing, no matter who he is facing, he will not explain.

  Originally, such an arrogant person should not be able to get along in the imperial court, but the final result every time proved that Duke Daniel's judgment was correct.

  In the Silver Moon Imperial Court, which worships the strong, Duke Daniel, who has outstanding abilities, quickly stood out from his peers.

  When a person continues to succeed, his rebellious character is no longer a shortcoming, but will be regarded as the unique temperament of the strong.

  Don't ask why, just say it's natural. In the big orc empire, there are not many good-tempered strongmen.

  Although Duke Daniel was extraordinarily cold and arrogant, and he was unwilling to buy anyone's account, but he was too good at fighting if he couldn't stand it.

   Taking stock of past achievements, no one in the Silver Moon Imperial Court can compare, even if you look at the entire Orc Empire, there is no one comparable.

  The "Military God" who was killed with a knife and a gun was naturally worshiped by everyone. His status in the Silver Moon Imperial Court also went up with the tide.

  Of course, in addition to personal ability, Duke Daniel's background is also a plus.

  As the precious son of the contemporary Silver Moon Wolf Emperor, he has been the favored son of heaven since he was a child. Others want to suppress, but they don't have the courage to take action.

   One minute late, no problem
