Chapter 238 Tragedy(1/2)
The army was still on the way, and Dapest City prepared a celebration banquet, waiting for Hudson and his group to come back to start the meal.
Unlike the previous war, the victory of this battle brought an end to the siege of Dhape.
With the reinforcements sent by the five imperial courts alone, the strength of both sides has reached the same level. If there is a real fight, who will win and lose, it will be an unknown number.
If you want to break through Dapest City, there is no hope at all. Instead, you will continue to rush over with your head and will easily be defeated by the human coalition forces one by one.
With the security guaranteed, the powerful people in the city naturally became excited again.
As for what disaster will the Bemon Legion go south and bring to the allies, everyone really doesn't care about thinking so much.
As the greatest hero, Hudson felt the enthusiasm of the Moses before he even entered Dapest City.
The crown prince personally brought a group of princes and ministers to wait at the city gate, and the etiquette and specifications were based on the highest standards.
If the King hadn't been ill in bed, I guess the one who led the team out to greet him now would be Chris IX himself.
Looking at the huge scene, Hudson shook his head secretly.
Although this victory is important, it is not worthy of this standard of treatment.
Making the scene so grand is like a serious consideration for the heroes, but in fact it is also a kind of compensation for different styles.
Fame and fortune cannot be obtained both. Now that you have gained fame and fortune, there will inevitably be some reductions in real profit.
There was nothing to be disappointed. When Hudson's current position, there was really not much that the Mosey could provide him.
A false title is not enough to reward merit, not to mention that they are already a principality and cannot give too high titles.
The Moses are willing to give him a fiefdom, but the problem is that Hudson is not interested in changing jobs.
For the sake of a fiefdom, he ran over to guard the gate for Moxi, and he was not crazy yet.
Although the nobles of Moxi are very enthusiastic about him now, they are very cooperative in commanding the army to fight, and their reputation is even more respectful.
The reason is that he is a guest army. No matter how high his reputation is, he will return to the Kingdom of Alpha in the end and will not squeeze out everyone's core interests.
Everyone is happy to come over to add icing on the cake for things that go with the flow.
Once you change jobs and develop, it will be another script. Your original friend becomes a competitor, and you will take the overall situation into consideration without stabbing it in the back.
Resources are not expected.
The precious cultivation resources were all divided by the great nobles and the royal family, and only a bunch of road goods were left in the national treasury.
If it were a year or two ago, Hudson would still be jealous; now, he wouldn't even look at it.
Of course, if the base is large enough, he is still happy to take it back and train his subordinates.
Unfortunately, this is simply impossible. The little inventory in the treasury is not enough to reward your own family members, so how can it be out of large quantities?
There are definitely gold coin rewards, but most of them are bonds. The theoretical returns are quite good, and it is still unknown whether they can be cashed out.
It is obvious that the Moses have learned the essence of "borrowing" and have carried it forward.
If you want the bounty to be fulfilled, you can only continue to work hard to help the Duchy of Moxi maintain its foundation.
There were originally a bunch of bonds in my hands, but I didn’t know how to spend them, but now I have to add a bunch of them, so Hudson didn’t know how to complain.
If you plant the bitter fruit you have to swallow it even if you knock the front teeth down. Maybe you can wait until the situation is clear and find a surrender to take over.
Unfortunately, the financial industry in Aslant is not developed enough, and there is no bond trading market, so it is difficult to cash out.
Even if ordinary chambers of commerce have money, they dare not take such deals. Only powerful nobles are not afraid of Moxi's refusal.
Hudson vaguely found that he seemed to have buried a shocking thunder, and once it was detonated, it would inevitably collapse and crack.
...
"Hurry up, give me some action!
They all look weak, don’t they eat?
...
Idiot, this stone is too big.
Come over stupidly, do you want to be a tombstone for yourself?
Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and smash it. Do you want me to help you do it?
…”
The beast soldiers were used to hearing this cursing voice.
I don’t know when the commander-in-chief Bruno became the captain of the construction brigade.
At first, I filled a pit and moved forward. Later, I found that the speed was too slow, so I asked the soldiers to go over and repair the road first.
Unfortunately, these big and thick guys asked them to hold a knife to kill people. That was professional; as for road construction, they had not yet gotten started.
Amateur construction teams are always inevitable to have accidents. In order to complete engineering tasks, cutting corners and dealing with things is a common phenomenon.
The most direct consequence is to make the convoy behind, and if you are not careful, it will be an accident.
There were countless scattered horses that were tortured along the way. Bruno was also a ruthless man. If the scattered horse was gone, then change to orcs to pull the cart.
The efficiency is a little bit low, but overall the orderly progress of the baggage team is still guaranteed.
In order to make up for the reduced efficiency, Bruno personally transformed into a contractor, inspecting the project site and commanding the soldiers to build roads.
They all came temporarily to transfer jobs. The amateur contractors were paired with an amateur construction team. Regardless of the quality of the project, the efficiency was not much higher.
The less efficient Bruno likes to point fingers; the more he runs to point fingers, the less construction efficiency will be.
Under the vicious cycle, the road repair project has not been smooth. Seeing that the time agreed in advance, Bruno's anger became more and more intense.
"Urgent report!"
"Urgent report!"
...
Under the guidance of the soldiers along the way, the Eagle Scouts who were jogging all the way finally arrived in front of Bruno.
"General, the frontline report urgently.
The Bemon legion was defeated under the siege of the human army and has now retreated to the Principality of Orton.
Prince Butzweig asked you to tell you that you must be careful of the human conspiracy and not be trapped by their plots..."
Before the Eagle Scout finished speaking, Bruno interrupted angrily: "Enough!
I know how to fight. There is no need to defeat the general and point fingers in front of me.
Tell Prince Butzweig that he should take good care of himself first! Don’t be careless and become the first Bemon legion to be annihilated by the human race since the war started!”
In the Orc Empire, the strong are qualified to be respected. It turns out that Bruno bought Prince Buzweig's account because of his great military achievements.
The situation has changed now. Prince Buzweig, who had great military achievements, suffered consecutive defeats and lost 300,000 troops to siege the city first. Now even the direct Bemon army was chased by the human race and fled everywhere. Naturally, there is no qualification to let Bruno continue to respect it.
Coupled with the unhappiness along the way, he accumulated a lot of anger, and now he can no longer suppress it.
The bearish temper became angry, no matter what prince or prince he is. Everyone is not making a living in a royal court, and they are not even colleagues, so they don’t have to give so much face.
After venting a wave of resentment, Bruno had to face the reality. The defeat of the Bear Man Imperial Court directly put the reinforcements from the Bear Man's Imperial Court in an embarrassing situation.
Whether to move forward is a question that needs to be thought about.
It’s one thing to like recklessness, but it doesn’t mean that Bruno is a fool.
Without the support of the Bimon Legion, he did not have the courage to lead the team to the Human Alliance alone.
After hesitating for a while, Bruno shouted loudly: "Guards, send someone to contact several other armies. I need to know their next moves.
In addition, I sent someone to report the current situation to the imperial court and asked His Majesty the Bear to decide whether to continue to march!"
A similar scene was also staged in the other four orc army.
The bait is eaten by the enemy. No one can be sure whether the net can gain something now.
The risks and benefits of continuing to send troops are completely disproportionate.
Unless the imperial court can send more reinforcements, continuing will be a war with uncertain future.
...
Under Terence City, the army of the five orcs gathered, and everyone took out their wealth and launched the most fierce attack on this fortress city.
Facing the ruthless orcs, the defenders' resistance seemed very powerless. Now Terence City is like a dilapidated old house, shaking in the wind and rain.
However, every time it was a critical moment, the ancient city stood firm again. The orc army opened the gap several times, but were blocked by the defenders in the city with their lives.
The respected Marshal Hodge is now full of white hair, as if he has suddenly grown older than twenty years old.
Facing the fierce orcs, they are nervous all day long, and the pressure they need to bear can be imagined.
"Marson, this is a report of casualties yesterday, with a total of 3,246 officers and soldiers killed.
There are eleven damaged places in the outer city. Although we blocked the gap, our defense is still greatly reduced.
It is expected that the next battle will be even more cruel. According to the enemy's current attack intensity, it is expected that the outer city will fall within ten days."
Harley said in a low tone.
