The King

  Chapter 423 The Battle of the Army

  Outside Fort Augustus, the camp of the Allied Forces of the Remnants of Ancient Times.

   Representatives from dozens of races gathered together, arguing about how to attack the city, and the old elf frowned.

  Internal conflicts are the common enemy of all alliances.

  Even though the elves have been working hard to reconcile the conflicts between the parties, they have not been able to change the noisy situation.

   This is the fault of the human race.

   During the prosperous period of the Warhammer Kingdom, in order to protect their own interests, they have been creating conflicts in the ice and snow world.

   Digging pits and laying mines is second, and the key is the implementation of the racial balance policy.

  Which race shows signs of rising, suppress that race, so that the strength of multiple races in the Ancient Legacy Alliance is at the same level.

  The contradictions are superimposed and evenly matched, and it is difficult for the Alliance of the Ancient Remains to be lively.

  If it wasn't for the Warhammer Kingdom's death, they would toss themselves to death. If this game continues, these ancient survivors will not be able to overcome the big waves at all.

"enough!"

   "The continental war has entered a critical moment. The human race has already gained the upper hand in the southern continent. Continue to waste time arguing here. Just wait for people to come and settle accounts after autumn!"

  The old elf who couldn't stand it anymore reprimanded him.

  Anyway, these guys are all on the chariot, and it is too late to go down now. If you don't want to be settled by Qiu Hou, you can only go forward bravely.

   It's just the old man's reprimand, which doesn't convince everyone. The essence of the quarrel is that everyone wants others to contribute more and share less benefits.

   Just like the elves instigating the alliance of the ancient survivors to send troops, the core is to reduce the loss of their own family members.

  It doesn't matter what you think in your heart. On the surface, everyone is still quiet. After all, in the next war, everyone will rely on the elves.

  "Everyone has their own reasons, and it is doomed to argue that there will be no result, and no one can justify making concessions.

   Simply write out all the tasks, and we will draw lots directly. Complete any task you are drawn, and don't continue to shirk.

  Dear Remo Priest, please come to be a witness. "

   Deliger said with a serious face.

   proposed a solution, but the boredom between his brows was still exposed.

  Different from other races, the Phantom Race has always been a marginal race in the continent of Aslant, and has never had a glorious history.

  The population is small, and what they practice is illusion, so there is not much demand for resources.

  No need, no need.

  Participating in this war was entirely due to the participation of the surrounding neighbors, and the independent special forces were in danger of exterminating the genocide, so they had to follow suit.

  Ben was forced to come in, so he naturally looked down on the chaos in the alliance.

   "Okay, I will do this witness."

  The elf old man agreed without hesitation.

   Regardless of who does the dirty work, it has nothing to do with the elves. They came to support only a group of magicians, and it would be a baby bump anywhere.

   If the siege is blocked, at worst, a forbidden spell will be released. No matter how crazy, it is impossible for the magician to charge into battle.

  …

  The half-orc kingdom, in the face of the war of annihilation launched by the Frankish kingdom, they have tried their best, and in the end it is inevitable to start the battle to defend the king's capital.

  Looking at the refugees gathered outside the city, Azevedo XVII said solemnly: "Franks, this is to kill them all!"

  A large amount of land subjugated also means a large loss of population.

  The Kingdom of Franks didn't play genocide right away, but their gameplay was even crueler than direct massacre.

  A large number of half-orcs were expelled from their homes and embarked on the road of exile. It seems to have given a way out, but in fact it is to disrupt the rear of the orc kingdom.

   This is the conspiracy of the Franks. No matter what measures the Orc Kingdom takes, the end result is wrong.

   Taking out materials for relief will consume strategic material reserves and affect their war potential.

  Leave it alone, the stomach is very disgusting for refugees, but they can do anything.

  You can’t massacre refugees yourself, can you?

  Although the half-orc kingdom is in a barbaric era, this order to massacre its own people will still arouse resistance from the people of the country.

  Facing the influx of refugees, for the safety of the capital, Azevedo XVII had to order the closure of the capital and prohibit the entry of refugees.

  However, this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. Refugees outside the city are a hidden danger after all. Once the Frankish army arrived, these people were cannon fodder for the siege.

  In previous continental wars, similar cases have happened countless times.

   "Your Majesty, the law of the jungle is the essence of the Aslant continent. For the continuation of the race, someone must sacrifice.

  In addition to the dragon clan in ancient times, the overlords of the continent all wanted to dominate the continent.

   But none of these races fell down in the end.

  The human race doesn't know how to restrain their ambitions, and sooner or later they will have to pay the price. We just need to hold the line and wait for the situation to turn. "

  Prime Minister Philemon comforted him.

  The overlords of the mainland did decline, but before they fell, countless races had already paid the price of extermination.

  Which of the great clans that can be passed down from the ancient times to the present is not covered in blood?

  Land resources do not fall from the sky. If you want to better pass on civilization, you must fight for it.

  Any time of soft-heartedness may bring disaster to one's own race in the future.

   "Send a message to the elves, telling them that the kingdom will not be able to withstand it. If we don't see any more reinforcements, we will surrender to the human race!"

   Azevedo XVII said viciously.

  The surrender of the whole family means a complete surrender.

   There is a high probability that it will be reduced to cannon fodder and become a sharp blade in the hands of the human race to attack all races.

  After a few battles of consumption, the family property was completely wiped out, and they had to rely on the human race to make a living.

  In this case, it can only be said that it is a little bit better than exterminating the genocide, but if there is a choice, no one will do it.

   But once dry, the consequences are very serious.

  The result of one increase and one decrease is the imbalance of strength between the human race and the alien race alliance, and the war in the southern continent is likely to end in a short time.

  The victorious countries, even if they allocate one-tenth of their strength to reinforce their allies, it will rewrite the situation in the Central Continent.

  If the wars in the two places end with the victory of the human race, it will be useless no matter how well the Northern Continent fights.

  Especially, the current war trend in the North Continent has not been as smooth as expected by the Alien Alliance.

  …

  Under the mother tree, the three elven queens gathered together with frowning faces.

   "Sister, this group of disgusting half-orcs is really too rampant.

   dare to threaten us with surrender, it is simply..."

  Perhaps she was really annoyed, the grassland elf queen couldn't find an adjective for a while.

   Threatening an ally with surrender, this kind of weird thing happened for the first time in a continental war.

   It is really embarrassing to say it, but it is effective!

   Once the half-orcs surrender, it will be a stimulus to the entire continental battlefield.

  In case other races can't bear the casualties and follow suit, then it's over.

  Based on the current situation in the mainland, if all the alien races work together, the human race will not be sure of victory.

  As long as the foreign races are willing to surrender, the nations of the human race will inevitably accept it.

  Compared to military means, political means are the strength of the human race. Given the choice, the nobles of the human race also don't want to work hard.

   But in this way, the elves will be embarrassed.

  If other alien races surrender to the human race, what should they do?

  Following surrender, I can't bear the grievance; persisting alone, it seems that the risk is too great.

  If it is used by the human race to kill chickens and monkeys, it will be a tragedy. The situation was ten times worse than the worst scenario they had expected.

   "Second Sister, don't be angry. The more this happens, the more we must hold our ground.

  President Azevedo XVII must have been forced to speak in a hurry, but it does not mean that he really wants to surrender to the human race.

  As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will choose to persevere.

  It seems that the situation in the half-orc kingdom is worse than what we know. The original support was no longer enough to help them stabilize the situation.

   Take military action in advance!

   First destroy the three countries of Kantruo, Ustad, and Fick, and make a gesture to show the allies.

  At the same time, they sent a group of magicians to the half-orc kingdom to help them stabilize the situation first. "

  While speaking, the forest elf queen's heart seemed to be bleeding.

  It is easy to join a war, but difficult to end it.

  Because of being too close to the elves, the development of the three principalities of Kantruo, Usta, and Fick has not been smooth, especially the slow growth of military strength.

  The population ratio and the number of masters are seriously out of proportion. The premature death rate of genius children is even more surprisingly high.

   To solve such an opponent, the elves have no pressure. The only question is how much it will cost.

   "Elder Sister, why don't we act together with the army of the Ancient Remnants Alliance after the destruction of the Three Kingdoms?"

  The night elf queen couldn't help but suggest.

   "Third sister, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. If we join forces, there will be more conflicts and conflicts between us, which is not conducive to our development."

  The Forest Elf Queen shook her head and said.

   It's not that she doesn't want to act with her allies, but the elves' looks are too outstanding, which conforms to the aesthetics of most races.

  According to past experience, as long as it is a joint action, some people will eventually do things that are not conducive to unity because of the brains of some people.

   However, the elves are not a race that can swallow their anger. When encountering things, they will only make a big fuss and will not suppress it.

  In case the old things happen again, maybe the enemy is not dealt with, and the allies will fight first.

  …

  The changes in the international situation have directly affected the Moxi battlefield. The participation of the elves in the war directly stimulated the alliance of the ancient survivors and the orc empire.

   Now everyone has a point of view, the battlefield in the North Continent is stable. No matter how the countries of the Northern Continent struggle, they are also powerless against the alliance of the three major alien races.

   Without any hesitation, the orcs and the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants made the same decision—intensify their attack.

   I really can't drag it on any longer. If they continue to dawdle, when they want to distribute the spoils in the future, they will have nothing to do.

   When it comes to interests, allies are not easy to use. Especially the Alliance of Ancient Survivors, who were originally close to the elves, were even more stimulated.

   Everyone knows that in ancient times, the elves once suffered a big loss from the vassal race.

  After the human race was expelled from the Northern Continent this time, even if the land was inexhaustible, even if it was left for the Warcraft to live, they would not be able to give it up to other intelligent races.

  If you want to leave enough living space for your own race, the only option is to grab the territory quickly.

  Anyway, the Ancient Remnants Alliance is composed of many races. Even if the cake is too big, it will become smaller when distributed to each race.

   There is no threat to the elves, so naturally there is no need to worry about attracting fear. There is the great enemy of the race, and the ally relationship can last for many years.

  The alien coalition forces are really serious, and the defenders on the front line of Fort Augustus are sadly reminded. Facing the enemy's heavy siege, the defenders with low morale were really unable to stand up.

  As the fortresses lost their heads one after another, Fort Augustus was once again reduced to an isolated city, and Raquel suddenly had a lot of white hair on his head.

  The early collapse of the defenders along the line disrupted his entire military deployment. According to the original plan, the Augustsburg defense line can withstand the enemy for at least two months.

  It's a pity that there are too many pig teammates, and the supervising team can only delay the collapse of the army, but it can't boost the morale of the army.

   As long as the rout had escaped once, they would not mind running a second time. It's okay to fight with the wind, but once there is a headwind, these people will be the first to collapse.

  In a sense, placing the defeated soldiers of the Eastern Warhammer Kingdom on the front line is the biggest failure in military deployment.

   It's just that the Principality of Moxi has no choice, and Raquel has no choice. If you don't put the broken soldiers on the front line as cannon fodder, is it possible to throw them behind to add chaos?

  The roaring artillery fire kept ringing, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the interval between the sound of magic crystal artillery in the city is getting longer and longer, but the frequency of artillery fire outside the city is increasing.

   "My lord, the enemy has attacked again. Now the mage group has suffered heavy losses, and they are powerless to stop the enemy from releasing the forbidden spell. The city wall may be..."

   Before the young officer finished speaking, Raquel interrupted: "I see. According to the established plan, after the outer city falls, the troops will be withdrawn to the inner city.

   Pass down the order to send out all the supervisory teams. If anyone flees the battle, they will be killed without mercy! "

   While speaking, Raquel took out a handkerchief and wiped the knight's sword. After waving his hand to signal the officer to leave, he muttered to himself:

   "Old friend, it's time to go all out again. I don't know if we will be lucky enough to leave this time.

well!

  If you are spiritual, you must be scolding me at this moment: let your kid show off. He is obviously a second-generation dude, but he wants to come out...

   But there is no way. When the principality is at the moment of life and death, someone has to step up.

  In the last war, the elites of the Principality almost died. Now it's my turn to useless trash like me, reinforcements..."

  …

   Above the clouds, Hudson watched the offensive and defensive battle of Fort Augustus with cold eyes. As soon as he is successful, he has gone through countless battles, and he has long learned to have a heart of stone.

  The reinforcements are just two hundred miles away. As long as he gives an order, they can reach the front line in a day, and it is not a problem to keep Fort Augustus. Only in this way, it is impossible to seriously injure the enemy.

  If you want to achieve a greater record, you can only let the defenders continue to consume the alien coalition forces outside the city. It doesn't matter how many enemies you kill, the key is to turn the enemy into a tired soldier.

  Looking at the gathering of elements below, Hudson knew that the enemy was preparing a forbidden spell. If they intervene at this moment, the enemy's magician group will suffer heavy losses and buy more time for the defenders.

  It's a pity that Hudson didn't have time. The sudden change in the international situation made him have to find a way to solve it quickly.

  The enemy army in front of him is just one of his goals, and there are still many enemies waiting for him in the future.

   "The magic array defending the city is broken, and it is destined to be unable to block the attack of the forbidden curse, and the outer city will not be able to defend.

  In a short period of time, the enemy should not be able to release the forbidden spell, and the inner city is estimated to be able to hold on for a few days.

  Bear Stearns, you go and make a trip yourself. Let the army move, and close the distance between the two sides to a hundred miles before dark. "

   Hudson said slowly.

  The coach personally acts as scout, no one else. But there is no way, if someone else comes over, they will definitely be discovered by the enemy.

  Including large army operations, it is actually difficult to keep secrets. The enemy also has air power and is constantly monitoring all directions.

   On the way to Guang, Hudson has successfully dealt with many enemy spies, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

  Including his current hiding, it is only for the enemy below. If you encounter the enemy's air power at close range, you will be exposed in an instant.

  Concealment magic is not omnipotent, once in close contact, it cannot be hidden at all.

   Only when the army keeps a certain distance, so that the enemy is not aware of the approaching danger, can they fight boldly with confidence.

   In a sense, Hudson is taking a gamble right now. Bet that the enemy doesn't know that the reinforcements sent by the kingdom this time are all the best of the best.

  Ordinary troops can travel tens of miles a day, but elite cavalry can easily run one or two hundred miles. This distance is not the distance that cavalry can run every day, but on the premise of maintaining a certain combat effectiveness.

  If you don't consider combat power, you can do it for thousands of miles a day. The only problem is that it is too useless, and only a few high-quality horses can do it.

   With a loud bang, the walls of Fort Augustus fell. The collapsed city wall was hundreds of meters long, and such a large gap could no longer be blocked just by thinking about it.

  The loud horn sounded, and the army that received the signal swarmed towards the gap, launching the most violent attack on the defenders.

  The picture below made Hudson unable to bear to look directly at it, and stopped observing the magic directly, but the nervous Maxim watched it with relish.

   "Maxim, find a place to rest first, we will enter the inner city at night, and help the defenders strengthen their courage to resist!"

   Hudson said indifferently.

  The enemy's confidence in taking Fort Augustus has been overwhelming, but the morale of the defenders really worries him. If the garrison collapses early, it will be impossible to steal the chicken and lose a lot of rice.

  Compared with the performance of Moxi's army in the last orc invasion, the quality of the defenders in front of them has dropped by more than one grade.

  Looking at the heads hanging on the city tower, you can tell that the number of deserters is not ordinary. If the guard hadn't been decisive enough to suppress it in time, we don't know what would have happened.

  Intuition told him that a fighter plane was about to appear. As long as the defenders are stable, the next step is to watch the enemy's performance.
