The King

  The release of the non-aggression treaty not only relieved the worries of the Alpha Kingdom, but also released the chains that bound the hands and feet of the elves.

  The army of elves, who were not worried about being copied, blew the horn of the Southern Expedition, and the countries along the way immediately ushered in the test of life and death.

  Rescue letters were sent out one after another, but the result was: spiritual encouragement from various countries.

   Regret is useless. In previous wars, they responded to the frontline countries in this way.

   Except for a few countries who send symbolic reinforcements, the rest are just to provide spiritual encouragement to neighboring countries.

  Feng Shui takes turns, now it's their turn to enjoy the spiritual support of Dafa, everyone can't take it all at once!

  The Human Race Alliance Council held round after round of meetings, and the issue of reinforcements was still not discussed.

  The reasons given by each country are more sufficient than the last.

  Holy See: We are helping the Ruthenian Kingdom resist the dwarven invasion. We expect to reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield within this year, and we will send reinforcements to support it in the coming year.

  Frankish Kingdom: We are clearing the half-orc tribe, it will take about half a year to a year, you hold on first.

  Kingdom of Hesse: We are busy fighting fiercely with the Stone People, and we can't tell the winner in a short time. We will definitely send troops to support when the battlefield situation improves.

  South Shore Kingdom: The Three-Eyed Clan is too powerful, we can only barely resist, and want to send troops to support you, but we have more than enough energy.

  Moxi Principality: The previous battle suffered heavy losses. We are defending against the counterattack of the Ancient Remnants Alliance. We hope the Alliance can provide support.

  Alpha Kingdom: The northern line of the kingdom has been lost due to the orc invasion. Now we are overwhelmed. Please ask the alliance to support a batch of strategic materials.

  …

  Busy busy, cry poor cry poor, sell miserable sell miserable. When it came to specific support, no one was willing to contribute.

   It's not that countries don't have a big picture, it's just that the elves army is not easy to mess with. Especially the prestige of the elven magician group resounded throughout the mainland.

  Forbidden spells flying all over the sky may be a bit exaggerated, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is definitely not justified if you don’t get a few forbidden spells.

  Unless all countries work together, no single human country can afford such a loss.

  Under the current situation, the Frankish Kingdom is the only one that can spare their hands, and the Holy See is at most half. Because they wanted to use the war to pit their teammates, the performance of the Holy See army on the battlefield was a mess.

  If the top forces of the two families join forces, it will be no problem to clean up the elves. But the loss that needs to be paid will definitely not be small.

  For the sake of a false name, it is obviously not in line with human nature to take out the wealth of the family to fight the elves.

  Lutetia Palace, looking at the thick request for help in his hand, Charles III is now very headache. Compared with other countries, the excuse of the Frankish Kingdom is too clumsy after all.

  Everyone knew that their war with the orcs was coming to an end, so it was obviously unreasonable to refuse to send troops on this ground.

  If the Frankish Kingdom is not the most powerful country on the mainland, and does not have such a large influence in the Human Race Alliance, then it will be done if it is done.

  The Holy See, which also has spare power, is not panicking at all now. It doesn't matter if it has a bad reputation on the mainland.

  The Frankish Kingdom can't do it. As the leader of the Human Race Alliance, they still have to show some face. Charles III must consider political influence.

  The most troublesome thing is that the Frankish Kingdom still has an enclave in the North Continent, which happens to be in the way of the elf army, and the local lord also asked him, the boss, for help.

  The obligations of the monarch and his subjects are mutual. While the vassals are loyal to the king, the king must also protect the interests of the vassals.

   It is definitely not acceptable to sell the younger brother directly. Once this precedent is established, the loyalty of the nobles to the king will inevitably be affected, and the vassal system of the Frankish Kingdom may be shaken.

  Even if you can't keep it, at least you have to make a gesture of doing your best to fulfill the obligation of the monarch.

  In terms of overall national strength, the Frankish Kingdom is no weaker than the elves. If there are no other forces, it doesn't matter to directly start an all-out war.

  But now the two sides are one south and one north, which belongs to the kind: it is no good to win, and it is a **** game to lose.

   To fulfill the obligation of being a monarch, you must send troops for reinforcements. If the number of troops sent is less, that is to send heads; if more troops are sent, the kingdom cannot bear the loss.

   "Now that all countries are unwilling to contribute, and it is impossible to talk about organizing coalition forces, what do you think should be done?"

  Charles III asked helplessly.

  If I knew it was such a hot deal, I shouldn't be greedy for that little tax, and let the enclave of the Northern Continent become independent. Nothing happened now.

   "Your Majesty, the situation in the Northern Continent is beyond recovery.

  The Kingdom of Warhammer collapsed, the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea fell, the Principality of Orton was destroyed, and the Principality of Moxi was seriously injured. Except for the strength of the Kingdom of Alpha, there is no longer a strong country.

   A few days ago, there was a wave of outbreaks in the Alpha Kingdom, which almost disabled the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants, but it was only a flash in the pan.

  After the orcs launched the northern invasion, they had to concentrate their forces to defend the northern border, and they were powerless to stop the elves from going south.

  The counties of Ruilin, Grint, and Nadal are all small countries. Korubia has been annexed by the Hessians long ago, and none of them are useful.

  The remaining areas, except for the two enclaves of the kingdom, are all enclaves of other great nobles. Judging from the current situation, they are obviously ready to give up.

   It's hard to survive alone, even if Wang Guo is willing to spend all his money, it will be difficult to hold on to those two enclaves now, so it's better to just give up.

  It happened that the kingdom destroyed the half-orc kingdom, obtained a large area of ​​land, and directly transferred the local lords back to let them pay off the half-orc tribe. "

   Prime Minister Duke Bergson suggested.

  It is indeed bullying for the noble lord to abandon the well-developed cultivated land and instead manage a piece of raw land, but the current situation is special.

  The army of elves is about to reach the door of the house, and if they don't run away, they will have no chance to run away. It is indeed a disadvantage economically, but compared with Xiaoming, it is not worth mentioning.

   As long as the noble lord and the king agree to change the fiefdom, other people will naturally have no objections.

  Even if a group of nobles came back to grab the cake, it would be better than dragging the kingdom down the endless abyss for a fief.

  If it is really a fight with the elf army alone, no matter what the final outcome is, the Frankish Kingdom will be a loser.

   "Your Majesty, the prime minister is right. There are only two enclaves, and it is not worth our trouble at all.

   It is actually a good thing for the kingdom that the elves take action to rescue several foreign families in the Central Continent.

  After digesting the land left by the half-orcs, the strength of the kingdom will surely be further improved, and the strength gap between countries will be further widened.

   For the kingdom, what it needs most now is not to defeat the alien alliance, but to end the continental war as soon as possible.

  As long as the human race is not defeated, the sooner the war ends, the better for us.

   It is best to end this war before the Kingdom of Iberia solves the cannibals and the Holy See solves the dwarf king! "

  Marquis Jesús made an ambitious proposal.

   As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis **** has long been dissatisfied with the current international situation. It's just that under the restraint of all parties, the Frankish Kingdom did not dare to break the balance rashly.

   Right now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. Once his plan is completed, the situation on the mainland will definitely develop in a direction that is beneficial to the kingdom.

  By annexing the Frankish Kingdom of the Orc Kingdom, it will be able to throw off its competitors in one fell swoop and become the only existence on the mainland.

  International competition has always been slow step by step. Once the Frankish Kingdom turns its strategic advantage into strength, it will be difficult for countries to catch up.

   After a slight hesitation, Charles III nodded.

   "Then let's do this! By the way, tell the lords that when they evacuate, the generals will also be brought with them.

   To develop the land left by the half-orcs, the kingdom still needs a large population. Not only their leaders, but also the war refugees from the Northern Continent would be brought back if conditions permit.

  Prime Minister, organize the kingdom’s fleet to pick it up. Let the navy **** everyone, and we must ensure the safety of the fleet.

  Ministry of Foreign Affairs, send someone to communicate with the elves to make it easier for them. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, you can agree to them.

  The war belonging to the kingdom is about to end, and the domestic business control can also be appropriately relaxed. "

  As the first kingdom on the mainland, every move of the Frankish Kingdom will affect the direction of the situation on the mainland.

  Charles III's words may seem ordinary, but they actually represent a strategic change in the Frankish kingdom.

  Especially in the final liberalization of trade control, it is short of publicly expressing support for smuggling trade.

  The internal trade of the human race has not been interrupted by the war. The so-called trade control is just to prevent strategic materials from flowing into the hands of foreign races.

  Capital is greedy, wherever there is profit, it will go there. It is conceivable that after the Frankish Kingdom relaxes its crackdown on smuggling trade, how many strategic materials will flow into the hands of foreign races in the future.

  Even for strategic purposes, the Frankish Kingdom may secretly and directly provide material support to certain alien races.

   Similar operations have not happened in human history. It's just that they were all in peaceful times, and no one was foolish enough to support foreign races during the continental war.

  Charles III dared to do this, the core factor is that the alien race is weak, and now it can no longer threaten the dominance of the human race.

   From the performance of the various races during the war, it can be seen that many alien races are declining, and the only ones whose strength has not been affected are the elves.

   However, everyone knows the shortcomings of the elves. They still have a detached status if they don't participate in the war. Once they are involved in the continental war, the family wealth they have painstakingly accumulated will be wiped out sooner or later.

   It seems that they have made great progress all the way, but the price behind this is that tens of thousands of elf soldiers will fall to the ground forever.

   Lost more than 10,000 soldiers in the Northern Continent, how much will be lost in the Central Continent?

  Don't think that the three kingdoms in the mainland are not fighting well. It is mainly because they are preserving their strength and trying to use war to consume the power of small vassal states.

   Stimulated by the elves, the performance of the armies of the Three Kingdoms on the battlefield has been raised to a new level in an instant these days.

   Not to mention the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, even a loss of 50,000 to 60,000 troops would be enough for the elves to suffer for a while.

  If you want to fight for hegemony on the mainland, you must first solve the low birth rate of elves. Otherwise, the leading brother of the alien alliance can only work hard to keep the mainland peaceful.

  …

  By the Xueyue Lake, countless orcs drove their cattle and sheep and gathered here, making final preparations for the all-out war.

  "The front line was fought very well, and the enemy's first line of defense was taken down without paying much price.

  According to the past practice, Alpha's first pass is the most difficult to win. As long as this level is passed, the follow-up war will be much easier to fight. "

  The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said in a good mood.

  Once Jin Jin gets the most suitable stage, he can immediately glow with his own light.

learn from mistakes.

  After suffering from fighting independently, the Orc Empire has also undergone changes in military command.

  Duke Daniel, who had outstanding military exploits, quickly stood out from the crowd of generals and became the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by the five emperors.

  Duke Daniel lived up to expectations. After taking over the imperial army, not only did the attack speed increase, but even the casualties of the troops also decreased.

  My son is so good at fighting, so I am naturally happy to be my son. As for the blemishes of indifference and lack of sociability, they were directly ignored by the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.

  When you look at a person pleasing to the eye, the disadvantages can also become advantages. This is the current situation, the original short board has now become "the arrogance of the emperor".

  The rule of the game of the Orc Empire is Mu Qiang. Duke Daniel's outstanding military performance directly made him squeeze out the previous brothers and become the heir of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

  The result came a bit suddenly. Even Daniel didn't expect that he, who was not liked by the nobles in the clan, was miraculously won the support of everyone.

  Everything was forced out. After being chased and killed by the human race all the way, and driven into the barren land, the rich and powerful realized that if they want to enjoy a luxurious life, they must first let the race survive.

  Daniel, who was the best at fighting, suddenly became a favorite. The former cold-faced duke directly became a "lonely emperor".

  The other four royal families don't care about holding back and stabbing the knife now, so they should work together to eliminate their own threats.

  It is not enough to destroy the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, the old enemy of the Alpha Kingdom must also be severely damaged. Otherwise, with the Alpha Kingdom taking the lead after the war, maybe with the support of the Human Race Alliance, the Seven Kingdoms will fight back again.

   After all, the high-level executives of the Seven Prairie Kingdoms ran away completely, and these guys are backed by powerful forces. With a little help from one family, there will be an army to restore the country.

   "This is not enough, the enemy's main force is still there. Now that the Western Front is over, it won't be long before the most elite expeditionary army of Alpha will appear on the battlefield.

   Hudson is not as easy to fool as James. Since he entered the army, he has never been defeated.

  With the current strength of the empire, it is only slightly stronger than the enemy. But they are on the defensive side, relying on the advantages of fortifications, they can basically wipe out our advantages.

   Marshal Daniel, what are you going to do next? "

  The Lion Emperor asked concerned.

  If you don't have a solid family background, you can't mess around. The current Orc Empire wants to defeat the Alpha Kingdom without compromising too much strength.

   "Then hurry up and fight the enemy ahead of time before Hudson arrives. Don't worry, the enemy has fallen into the trap and is now waiting to close the net.

  Originally, I was thinking of waiting for the expeditionary army to come and swallow them together. But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there is no chance.

   This is also good, to save too many fish and burst the net.

  After this battle, the empire will regain all the land lost in the previous war. No matter how powerful Hudson is, he has to have soldiers in his hands.

  Of course, it is limited to severely inflicting damage to the Alpha Kingdom. If you want to destroy them, it may be difficult to achieve with the strength of the empire! "

  Daniel said confidently.

  In the eyes of others, being able to break through the enemy's strongest first line of defense so quickly is already a remarkable victory, but Daniel is not satisfied.

   After one or two months of tossing, only one line of defense was taken down and tens of thousands of enemy troops were wiped out, which is simply weak.

  According to this style of play, the war will evolve into a war of attrition in the middle and late stages. The current Orc Empire doesn't have so much cannon fodder available, and if it is consumed, both sides will suffer.
