The King

Chapter 462: Battle at the negotiating table

   "Set up camp on the spot first, and then figure out the situation of the enemy camp!"

   Hudson ordered calmly.

  In this position, if the enemy wants to gather, then let them gather.

  The border between the two countries stretches for thousands of miles, and the expeditionary corps are all cavalry, no amount of soldiers and horses can stop them.

  If the enemy really dared to mobilize their troops wantonly, Hudson would not mind letting the defenders fight out and defeat the orc army in one fell swoop.

   "Nursing the bandits to be self-respecting" does not affect winning the battle. Defeating the orc army in the field would not kill the orc empire.

  Anyway, to recover the lost ground, the orc army must be defeated sooner or later. This battle is doomed to be inevitable.

  Hudson didn't panic, but the orc army on the opposite side panicked. Although the five imperial courts have repeatedly blocked the news, the special system of the orc empire determines that they can only block one loneliness.

  Things that happened in the country have long been spread in the military camps through various "gossip".

  The reduced ration quota further confirmed the rumors. The more the top management denies it, the more people believe the rumors.

  Since it is "gossip", it is inevitable to use exaggeration. In the eyes of many orc soldiers, the Expeditionary Legion is the devil from hell.

   There is no such thing as taking the initiative to attack. They are an infantry regiment, so it is impossible for infantry to chase down cavalry.

   The bewildered orc officer decisively chose to report the news to the imperial court, and the hot potato returned to the hands of the five emperors again.

  At midnight, the tents in the imperial court were still brightly lit. The five emperors held a high-level meeting, but no matter how much they discussed, they still couldn't come up with effective measures.

   Now to send troops to intercept, not only the strength of the expeditionary army must be considered, but also the human army on the opposite side.

  …

   "These unreliable assumptions, there is no need to fantasize now.

  Hudson is the supreme commander of the Alpha Kingdom's army. He only needs one order to mobilize the defenders in the pass.

   When we send troops to encircle and wipe out the expeditionary army, the enemy's defenders in the pass will definitely take action, and there is no possibility of sitting on the sidelines! "

   Beamon Emperor Alex said tiredly.

   I don’t know if I was fooled by the war. Now that these generals are making suggestions, they are all starting to have hallucinations.

   It is indeed possible to sit back and watch the friendly army be surrounded by the enemy, but that is in the Orc Empire. Because of conflicts between races and tribes, it often happens that teammates are cheated.

  The Alpha Kingdom with a single race is different. Even if someone wants to cheat his teammates, he dare not go too far.

  Received the rescue order, but also sit back and watch friendly troops be annihilated by the enemy, such a crime, no matter how hard the background is, it cannot be covered.

   The fantasy was shattered, and all the generals fell silent. Hudson put too much pressure on them, and no one was sure about the actual operation.

   "We have too few mobile cavalry to use, and it is difficult to take down the enemy's expeditionary army.

  Hudson is the most cunning in using troops. He has set up camp at the current location, and he is afraid that he has set up a trap for us to drill.

   Calculating the distance, it only took a few hours for the enemy cavalry in the pass to come out to meet them.

   Such a distance, they just cross the border directly. The little troops we deployed alone can't stop them from breaking through!

  Perhaps the enemy just wants us to mobilize our troops day and night to disrupt the original strategic deployment and create opportunities for the defenders to attack. "

  The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said in a low mood.

  Compared to five years ago, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Orc Empire has been severely weakened, and the number of elites is less than one-third of that at its peak, far worse than that of infantry.

  The former orc empire with millions of armors and 300,000 cavalry that overwhelmed the three kingdoms of the Northern Continent is already a thing of the past.

  The most elite cavalry regiments in the empire were all taken to the rear by Duke Daniel, and they are still on their way.

  Although there are still a few cavalry regiments on the front line, they are scattered all over the place, and only two can rush to the battlefield immediately.

  No matter how confident a general is, he can't guarantee that two cavalry legions can stop the expeditionary legion.

  The lack of troops was not because the orcs couldn't mobilize more troops to join the battle, but because logistics limited their deployment of troops.

  The cavalry consumes much more than the infantry. Forcibly mobilizing 300,000 cavalry, not to mention the uneven level of combat effectiveness, the logistics alone can crush the current Orc Empire.

  In order to reduce logistical pressure, they have captured many human fortresses in recent days, but they have gained very little.

  The main source of food harvested on the battlefield is actually the corpses of their own people. The biggest benefit brought by the siege turned out to be the reduction in the number of troops, which eased the logistical pressure.

  The war has progressed to this point. For the Orc Empire, intercepting the expeditionary army is actually secondary. How to solve the logistics problem is the key.

  "Since the enemy likes to use intrigues, then use the tricks. Deliberately make a gesture of deploying troops to disrupt the deployment, and lure the main force of the enemy to come out for a decisive battle!

   Dozens of tribes in the rear were destroyed, and there was a huge gap in the strategic materials to be raised in the plan. In a short period of time, it is difficult for us to fill the gap.

  Limited by the insufficient supply of strategic materials, we can only passively reduce the frontline troops. The longer the delay, the fewer troops the empire can use.

  Even if you fight with the enemy and lose both sides, it is better than being exhausted all the time like now! "

  The Lion King said viciously.

  The two-lose style of play naturally does not require the five royal families and the Alpha Kingdom to fight for both losses, but to use the troops of the vassal races to consume each other with the enemy.

   Regardless of winning or losing, it can solve the current strategic passivity of the Orc Empire. As long as the core of the five royal families is not damaged, it is acceptable to wipe out the vassal races.

   "Let's try it! Anyway, if the enemy doesn't send troops, we will be forced to evacuate after another month.

   It just so happens that Daniel has organized hundreds of thousands of troops, even if the front line suffers heavy losses, he can immediately replenish them. The worst result is nothing more than losing the land now occupied! "

  Eagle Emperor agreed.

  As an Air Force unit, the last thing you fear is Armageddon. When it comes to paddling ability, no one can match them.

  The enemy's air force is limited. As long as they are more stable, the loss of the Hawk people will be within a controllable range.

   On the contrary, it is so exhausting now, and the loss of constantly sending people deep into the sky over the enemy camp to investigate is even greater.

  In the past days, the daily losses of Eagle soldiers never fell below double digits, and occasionally reached triple digits.

   It seems inconspicuous, but it cannot stand the accumulation of time!

   As for the results of the battle, it was directly ignored by the Eagle Emperor. The losses are all their own, but the information that comes out of the investigation is everyone's.

  After all the emperors looked at each other, they quickly unified their positions. Immediately afterwards, a series of military orders were continuously transmitted from the imperial tent to the orc army on the front line.

  …

  In the Central Continent, with the triumphant advance of the alien coalition forces, the three major human kingdoms were forced to come to the negotiating table.

  The Kingdom of Hesse was the first one to choose to do badly. Just two days ago, the army of elves and the Stone People completed a strategic meeting in the Kingdom of Hesse.

  The biggest point of contention between the two sides has now become an established fact. The tragic Hesse Kingdom was directly divided into two by the alien coalition forces.

   Of course, there is no good news at all. At least they completed the strategic contraction and withdrew the main force from the front line.

  If they hadn't kept the kingdom's more than 200,000 elites, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to be on the negotiating table.

  It's just a comprehensive passive strategy, which completely lost the temper of the high-level leaders of the Hesse Kingdom.

  The situation collapsed too quickly, and before the allies had time to rush over, they were on the verge of subjugation.

  Maybe if we continue to persevere, the human race can still win, but there is a high probability that the Kingdom of Hesse will not be able to wait for that day.

  The shadow of failure hangs over the whole country, and the entire Hesse Kingdom doesn't want to fight from top to bottom.

  The situation of the Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Bank is not much better. The frontline continues to collapse. Even if they try their best, they cannot stop the advance of the alien coalition forces.

  The three-eyed tribe and the troll tribe have not yet joined forces with the elf army, but they have completed a strategic alliance with the dwarf kingdom. No one thought that the dwarf kingdom, which was mired in the quagmire of war, would be able to mobilize troops to fight out from behind.

  The knife behind the back is the most terrifying. Before the countries along the way could react, the three major alien races joined together and began to communicate with each other.

  The resources of the three-eyed tribe and the troll tribe were continuously sent to the dwarf kingdom in exchange for a large amount of advanced ordnance, and they were about to overwhelm the human army in terms of weapons and equipment.

  The situation has developed to this point, and the countries in the mainland have been unable to stop the strategic alliance of the six alien races. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the alien alliance will be connected together.

  Cooperation at the juncture of life and death, the military industry of the dwarf kingdom + the resources of various tribes + the magic of the elves, no one knows how powerful this combination can explode.

  Compared with this explosive news, no one cares about the slight advantage Alpha Kingdom gained in the war with the orcs.

  What everyone is most worried about now is that after the six alien races join forces, they will destroy the Alpha Kingdom with a backhand and form a giant that monopolizes the Northern and Central Continents.

   Due to the development of the situation, the Terran Alliance hastily held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, but the long-term thirst cannot be quenched.

   This time, the Holy See, the King of Franks, and the Kingdom of Iberia have rarely unified their positions. However, it takes time to form a coalition.

  Different from the previous support, the three companies must do their best to make a comeback in this wave.

  The countries under the three major forces are also required to fully mobilize, but this also takes time.

  The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. When it comes to the mobilization of millions of troops, how can it be said that troops can be dispatched?

  According to the normal schedule of preparations, it will not be possible to get it done within a year or so. Involving multi-party alliances will only take longer.

  Even the most efficient Alpha Kingdom had to hoard strategic materials before mobilization, so that it could gather an army within two months.

  Being forced by this situation, the three kingdoms of China had no choice but to negotiate in secret.

  Where the war continues, they don't know whether the human race can win the final victory. Anyway, the countries in the middle mainland have to be destroyed first.

  Even if the human race wins and supports their restoration of the country, it is still a puppet regime and cannot escape the fate of being annexed.

   It is more likely that they will have an accident, and then recover the lost ground from the aliens, and solve the legal problem once and for all.

   There is no way, the era of great mergers has come.

  After this battle, the Holy See, the Kingdom of Franks, and the Kingdom of Iberia will establish absolute advantages within the human race, and the remaining countries are no longer able to check and balance them.

  When the balance is broken and cannot keep up with the rules of the times, it is inevitable to reshuffle the cards.

  The alien army cleared up the local unstable factors first, and when they merged later, even the obstacles to rule would not exist.

  If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will worry about it tomorrow.

  The three kingdoms, having seen the changes in the situation, have chosen to negotiate to end the war. As for the issue of Terran's strategic passivity, that is a question for the future.

   Only those who have lived into the future are qualified to discuss the future. If you want to entangle the future fate of the human race, you have to survive first.

   Similar setbacks have never happened before in human history.

  The fact that the foreign race alliance can be closely united is also forced out by the human race. Once the situation improves, the situation will inevitably change.

   How to instigate internal fighting in the alien alliance, everyone is professional. As long as the experience of their respective infighting is exported, it is only a matter of time before the alien alliance will split.

  If there are no internal problems, the alien alliance that has the upper hand will not rush to negotiate.

   Both sides have concerns, creating a favorable basis for peace talks. However, as soon as the negotiations started, the negotiations reached an impasse.

  …

   "Impossible. According to your request, our entire country will be relocated. The relocation of tens of millions of people is simply an impossible task!"

  Dante Kingdom represented Earl Bruno to take the lead in objecting.

  According to the boundary line given by the alien alliance, almost the entire Dante Kingdom will have to move, which is completely killing them.

   "Count Bruno is right, this armistice treaty is too harsh. If you want to force us to relocate, then see you on the battlefield!"

  We can die on the battlefield, but we can’t die in such a humiliating way on the migration road!

  Don't think about it. My human race has not been defeated yet, and you have only temporarily gained an advantage. Countries in the Southern Continent are forming coalition forces. As long as we hold on, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed! "

  The representative of the South Shore Kingdom, Marquis Pierluigi, resolutely agreed.

   It is nominally a land exchange, but in fact it requires them to relocate. If they agreed to the conditions of the alien alliance, not to mention strategic issues, the relocation work alone would ruin them.

   "Don't use the Human Race Alliance to scare us, if the Human Race Alliance is so reliable, the situation will never develop to the present stage.

  Put your fantasy on them, don't you know that from the beginning, you are abandoned, just like you abandoned the countries of the Northern Continent.

  We are helping them eliminate dissidents. Don't look at the Holy See, the Kingdom of Franks, and the Kingdom of Iberia clamoring to send troops. In fact, they are probably very happy in their hearts!

  If you are not destroyed, how can they annex the Central Continent logically?

  In this regard, you should learn from the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi. It was also betrayed by an ally, and the situation is much better now.

   Terran strategy, future, these issues have nothing to do with you. Now the three need to consider how to survive the war! "

  Doris smiled sweetly.

   She felt so good at the moment that she was finally able to get it back from the human race after she was slumped on Hudson.

  Maybe Doris is not a qualified diplomat, but her status as a strong person in the sanctuary is enough to smooth out the technical gap. As long as she sits here, the morale of the representatives of the Three Kingdoms will be lowered.

   "My lord, we came here with sincerity. If you want a truce, please also show your sincerity.

  No one dares to accept this kind of condition that directly kills us. Even if a treaty is signed, it cannot be implemented in the end.

  Based on the current situation, we can agree to replace part of the land, but the core territories of the three countries cannot be moved.

  If you want to join the alliance of different races, you don’t have to do it on land. It is also a good choice to connect by sea or river.

  If you really get together forcibly, I am afraid your alliance will not be as harmonious as it is now.

  Once there is internal strife, all the advantages you have gained now will still be lost in the future.

  Instead of repeatedly tossing, it is better to come up with a condition that all parties can accept and reach a strategically significant cessation treaty.

  At least after this war, our Three Kingdoms will no longer be a threat to you, and even for our own benefit, we will become the most staunch anti-war faction in the human race!

  The premise of all this is: we must have a certain strength and be able to retain the right to speak in the alliance.

  Since His Holiness mentioned the Alpha Kingdom, how about referring to their standards? "

  When referring to the "anti-war faction", Marquis Krasner deliberately emphasized his tone. This was discussed in advance by the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Hesse.

  There are no more bargaining chips in the hand, and the most important bargaining chip now is the right to speak of the Three Kingdoms in the Terran Alliance.

  According to the current situation, for a long time to come, the three countries in China will be under the threat of alien alliances.

  As soon as a continental war breaks out, they will immediately become the biggest victims who are surrounded by alien races.

   No matter how deep the hatred is, as long as the alien alliance is not aggressive, they will become passive and peaceful after the war.

   As for the treatment with reference to the Alpha Kingdom, it is completely a temptation. Judging from the battle situation in the Northern Continent, everyone knows that the Alpha Kingdom has not ceased fighting with the alien alliance, at most it has an agreement with the elves.

  This is also the result Doris wants. Talking about the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi is essentially to divide the human race and reduce the resistance of the Three Kingdoms.

   After all, people follow the herd. It is difficult for them to be the first to eat crabs, but they will be the second and third to eat crabs, and the psychological pressure will no longer exist.

"Sorry, can not!

  The Alliance and the Alpha Kingdom are still at war, and there is nothing to refer to. I just suggest you learn about their flexibility.

  The map is placed here. If there is any dispute, we can discuss it directly.

  Times are changing. We are enemies now, but it does not mean that we will be enemies in the future.

  Similarly, your current allies with the major forces in the Southern Continent does not mean that you will also be allies in the future. In terms of internal fighting, there is no race that can compare to your human race! "

  Doris said mockingly.
