The King

  The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

  After years of painstaking efforts, Hudson is now also famous. With a dragon chant, everyone knows that the only marshal of the kingdom has arrived.

  Although Hudson has not had time to do anything, but because of his arrival, the morale of the frontline officers and soldiers has changed.

  The originally lifeless headquarters suddenly became full of hope.

  The Kingdom finally changed coaches, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Marquis James himself.

  Retiring now is nothing more than bearing the infamy of incompetence and returning to the field. If you suffer a few more defeats, then you can't even think about retreating unscathed.

  Frankly speaking, his command is quite satisfactory. There are no major highlights, and there are not many omissions. The overall performance is still passing.

  Can stand out from the crowd of generals, the ability of Marquis James is beyond doubt. To be able to get to the current position, that is also from the battlefield with a knife and a shot.

   Maybe his performance is not the most amazing, but James' luck is better than that of his contemporaries.

   Those competitors who performed better than him in the past died on the battlefield one by one, and he became the leader of the army after suffering.

   During the last war, when he assisted Hudson in commanding the army, he also performed very well.

   Unfortunately, it was misplaced.

  James, who is more than stable but not flexible enough, is an excellent executor, but the commander-in-chief is very average.

  If it is equipped with a staff department to make up for the shortcomings in flexibility, it can also become an excellent commander.

  Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a staff department in the continent of Aslant. Hudson's military reforms also remained on the surface and did not touch the deeper command system.

   It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that under the current conditions of the kingdom, there is no condition for reforming the command system at all.

   Not everyone can be a staff officer. Even Hudson himself can barely assemble an immature team. How can it be promoted in the entire army?

  If you want to become a qualified staff officer, the first thing you need to do is to emancipate your mind and abandon the shackles of traditional military thinking.

  The solidification of thought is the most important ruling core under the current political system. After years of brainwashing, there are very few people who can not be affected.

  When everyone is deeply influenced by traditional ideas, those who are not affected become heresies.

  This situation is more serious in countries with fewer wars. Especially in the civil war among human aristocrats, whoever does not follow the rules will be rejected by the entire circle.

  Alpha Kingdom is more pragmatic, but not open enough to subvert the feudal system. In such a big environment, Hudson can't do anything.

   "Marshal..."

   As the words came to his lips, James swallowed them back again. It's too late to say anything now, someone needs to take responsibility for losing a battle.

   It can’t be the king who pushed him to the throne, so he has to carry it himself. Anyway, it was not wronged, the defeat on the battlefield itself was a mistake in his command.

   "Don't say any more, go back and rest for a while, your current mental state is very wrong."

   Hudson said calmly.

   There is no point in appeasement. At this point in the matter, whether James can make a comeback depends mainly on whether Caesar IV is still willing to trust him.

  Different from the unlucky guy who didn't grow up like Jose, Marquis James, who climbed to the top of the military, couldn't be wooed at all.

   To have the current status, the royal family treats him well. If this can still change jobs, not only Caesar IV will kill him, but other forces will not dare to reuse this kind of person.

  It has no value, so naturally there is no need to retain it. Anyway, there isn't much friendship between the two of them, it's enough to save face.

   After checking the message and confirming that there was no problem, the two quickly completed the transfer of power.

   After watching Marquis James leave, Hudson immediately called the main frontline generals and held a military meeting.

  There is no change in the strategic deployment, the main one is "stable". After suffering a loss, the defense level of all places has been improved, and it is purely dreamy to want to attack the city again.

  In a sense, shrinking the Alpha Kingdom’s strategy is a big failure in itself.

  If the battlefield is in the newly recovered provinces of northern Xinjiang, the orc cavalry can gallop freely, as long as they don't go too deep and get bitten.

   But once the battle line shrinks, what they are facing is densely packed fortresses. Ten miles to a castle, fifty miles to a fortress, that is not an exaggeration at all.

   Even if the cavalry goes deep, it will be difficult to play a role in the face of this defensive network. As soon as he crossed the border, his tracks were exposed, and the sneak attack was purely a dream.

  The Alpha Kingdom is not a soft persimmon, the orc cavalry who have exposed their traces are sending achievements to the Kingdom's army.

  While stabilizing the front line, while waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Hudson did not panic at all.

   Anyway, no one urged him to fight the orcs.

  Caesar IV can dictate to Marquis James because he was promoted by the royal family, which is different from a commander who was born as a prince like Hudson.

   If the defenders don't panic, it's the attacking side's turn to have a headache. Facing the defenders with the word "steady" in the foreground, the orc army began to worry.

  In the case of an expedition involving teachers, if you can’t take advantage of it, you will suffer a disadvantage. After several tentative attacks, the battlefield unexpectedly entered a state of confrontation.

  The orc army did not launch an attack, and the defenders huddled in the city, and the two sides started a game of staring.

   This confrontation lasted for more than a month. The defenders in the city are fine, the orc army stationed in the wild can't bear it!

  The orcs themselves are not a hygienic race. They eat, drink and scatter in one place, and the camp is smoky.

  Duke Daniel wanted to rectify several times, but was forced to stop because of too much internal opposition.

  …

   "Marshal Daniel, the current situation is completely different from what you said before. Not to mention the heavy damage to the enemy, now we can't even touch the enemy.

  The enemy's reinforcements are about to arrive, and the situation we face will be even worse by then, and it may be difficult to attack again. "

   Xiong Renhuang said impatiently.

  The current battle situation is still acceptable to him. It's just that not fighting for a long time, and being so exhausted all the time, is also a heavy pressure on the Orc Empire.

  Logistical problems not only plagued the Alpha Kingdom, but also plagued the Orc Empire.

  During the battle, there are still corpses from both sides that can be used as supplies, and when you are free, you can rely solely on the rear to provide supplies.

  In order to ensure the logistics supply, a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock were constantly being slaughtered. He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

  These are the most valuable means of production of each tribe. If they are all slaughtered here, life will be difficult in the future.

  If the war is won and a lot of wealth is plundered, they can also rely on smuggling trade to obtain supplies from the human race.

  If the war is lost, a large-scale food crisis will break out, and the internal struggle for survival resources will be extremely fierce. Whether the orc empire can exist is still unknown.

   "His Majesty Xiong Huang, the more we have to be patient at this time.

   Everyone has experienced how difficult the defense line of the Alpha Kingdom is. With the current strength of the empire, the enemy's defense line to be stormed is simply unrealistic.

  Our pressure is great, and the enemy's pressure is even greater. A group of aristocratic lords who have lost their fiefs will put pressure on the enemy commander for us, forcing him to lead his army out to a decisive battle with us.

   If there is no accident, the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements will be the time for the decisive battle between the two sides.

   Without the protection of the city, we have to defeat the enemy, and the difficulty has dropped by more than one level. "

  Duke Daniel explained indifferently.

  The battlefield is ever-changing, and it is impossible to follow the plan. The enemy didn't play their cards according to the routine, and didn't fight them to the death in the seven provinces of northern Xinjiang, so the original battle plan would naturally change.

  Hudson's strategic contraction, while preserving the vitality of the kingdom, also planted the seeds of a decisive battle.

  If the noble lords of the seven provinces in northern Xinjiang want to regain their lost land, they must defeat the orc empire on the battlefield.

   "Daniel, your analysis is good, the enemy is indeed going to fight us, but the time is unknown.

   Judging from the current signs, the Alpha Kingdom should have changed its coach. Everyone has fought against Hudson, and there is no trace of this guy's use of troops.

  With his position in the Alpha Kingdom Army, it is possible to temporarily suppress the voice of the main combat faction, and wait for a year and a half to wait until the situation of the continental war becomes clear before fighting us decisively.

  Alpha Kingdom's success doesn't mean that the empire can also. Although the army of elves has gone south, judging from the current situation, the alliance is still at a disadvantage.

  If the human race wins the continental war, everyone should know what will happen later.

  Empire can defeat an Alpha Kingdom, but cannot defeat an Alpha Kingdom supported by the Terran Alliance.

  In recent days, Moxi's army has also begun to gather towards the border. The total number of troops deployed on the front line is estimated to be no less than 250,000.

  Based on the relationship between the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi, it is not surprising that these armies suddenly joined the war when the war entered a critical moment. "

   Beamon Emperor Alex said with a sad face.

   His military command ability is not very good, but his political talent is full. Being able to keep the position of the orc royal family when the vitality of the Behemoth family was seriously injured was due to political means.

  In a world of great contention, one should not only focus on one place, but also look at the overall situation.

  The war on the northern continent was only one of the factors that affected the outcome of the war. It was the outcome of the continental war that really determined the fate of the orcs.

   "Your Majesty Bimon, please forgive me for my inability to win or lose the Continental War!

  The strength of the empire is no longer at its peak, and all we can do is take care of our eyes.

  As an imperial soldier, what you have to do is: defeat the Alpha Kingdom at the least cost, and keep the empire's foundation on the prairie.

  The game of the continental war is no longer something that the empire can participate in. Instead of extravagantly hoping to intervene in the continental war, it is better to expect problems within the human race and give up supporting the restoration of the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland! "

  Duke Daniel replied forcefully.

   Once war is linked to politics, it is a burden to the commander, but war cannot be separated from politics.

   The combination of contradictory combinations is a disaster for the current orc empire.

  Any talk about politics beyond the scope of one's own strength is to force oneself to add drama. War is cruel, and a supporting role is a supporting role. Forcibly adding drama will only appear nondescript.

  …

  Facing the flames of summer, the frontline ushered in reinforcements. In fact, with the efficiency of the Alpha Kingdom, the arrival time of reinforcements shouldn't be so slow.

   The delay in arriving until now is because Hudson sent people to train the recruiting army for a month before letting the troops start.

   There is no other reason, it is all caused by logistics. There is not a slight difference in the materials needed to stay in place to carry out military training, and to go to the front line of the Northland for training.

  Although nobles from all over the country have also trained their troops before, Hudson has no confidence in them. Especially the army of the minor nobles, the training is obviously not in place.

   "The order is passed on, and the five recruiting legions are all disbanded and replenished into the various troops.

  The five standing corps were merged into the Seventh Front Army, and I personally served as the commander and used it as the reserve of the whole army. "

   The unreasonable order caused the generals to whisper to each other, but they were only intimidated by Hudson's prestige and did not dare to directly jump out to oppose it.

   There are precedents for recruiting legions as supplementary troops. There is nothing controversial. The key is to leave five standing legions as reserves.

  In previous wars, most of them went directly to stud. If there are insufficient troops, they will ask for help from the country. What is the reserve?

   If you insist on reserve service, then the regiment directly under the guard headquarters should be considered the reserve service of the entire army.

  Usually speaking, when it is their turn to fight, it is the most dangerous time of war.

  Sometimes not expressing an opinion is silent opposition. I didn't jump out directly, mainly because I was afraid of spraying.

  As well-known as Hudson's command ability, there is also his spraying technique. Countless things have been sprayed by him with doubts about life.

   High-ranking noble officers are all face-saving, and after suffering a few times, they all learned to be shrewd.

   When encountering something incomprehensible, the first thing to do is not to jump out to refute, but to encourage others to go up.

  When a group of smart people gathered together, the scene in front of them appeared.

   "What are you doing in a daze, and you haven't executed the order yet!"

   Hudson reprimanded immediately.

   There is no time to explain the reason. In the army, he only needs everyone to execute orders. It's not specifically training generals, whether they can understand why is not important at all.

   "Yes, Marshal!"

  The generals hurriedly replied.

   Anyone who has been with Hudson knows the weight of the "military order like a mountain", and those who dare to disobey the military order will now have grass on their graves.

   No matter how noble your status is, it is useless in front of this powerful marshal.

   Not strong enough, these days, Hudson is also Alexander. All the lords of Northern Xinjiang came to harass him every now and then, and they all wanted to fight back.

  The generals left one after another, and only the Earl of Oran, who had a special relationship, stayed. He obviously had something to say.

   "Your Excellency, is there anything else?"

   Hudson asked suspiciously.

  My father-in-law is not the one who makes things happen. As a traditional nobleman, the Earl of Oran has always attached great importance to rules.

  Don’t spray, there’s no time
