Sorrow

"Are you sure you didn't lead the wrong way?"

Hudson asked sternly.

Everything is in the plan, and it is very difficult to continuously monitor teams dozens of miles away without losing air supremacy.

It can be said that every message is exchanged for the scouts' lives. If you are not careful, you will be killed by the eagle man in the sky before you even reach the place.

At this time, even the Knight of Warcraft would not dare to come out and make waves.

The number of masters in the border guards dispatched by the kingdom was limited, and each of them had a great background. Hudson did not have the ability to use them as soldiers.

The news of the loss of the aristocratic coalition in the southeastern province was completely expected. As long as Count Pierce did not hold on to it, this situation would inevitably happen.

Calculate the time, from the issuance of the notice to the present, the interval between the two sides is only three or four hours. Even if you escape, you will only walk thirty or forty miles at most.

If you send someone to find him now, you can find him quickly. Instead of sending someone out to find him immediately, you will ask your subordinates if they lead the wrong way.

Obviously, Hudson's intention to rescue the aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern province was not as strong as it seemed.

"Earl, we can be sure that it is here! Just look at the footprints by the lake, and you can prove that a large army has just stopped.

But for some reason, we clearly informed them that they were waiting for help on the spot, but now the people suddenly disappeared."

The reconnaissance captain who led the way quickly explained.

Many members of the noble group cannot understand the grievances between the great nobles, let alone the soldiers.

If you look through historical books, you will know that how many times the entire army has been destroyed in history was caused by sticking to wait for help.

Reinforcements, whether that thing can be reliable depends on whoever is in his hands.

It would be too ideal to expect the enemy to come with reinforcements and be able to rescue in time. According to normal thinking, there is nothing wrong with Earl Pierce's approach.

Unfortunately, reality is always full of surprises. Hudson led his team to arrive at the scheduled location as agreed, but the noble coalition forces in the southeastern province were no longer in their position.

After symbolically checking the footprints by the lake, Hudson waved his hand and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work along the way, let's go down and rest first!

After passing the order, the entire army will set up camp on the spot and continue to act after the situation is discovered."

A well-mannered command has no new meaning. If you rescue, you must first find the target.

Theoretically, the army will inevitably have a huge momentum. Following the footprints left behind, it is likely to catch up.

But that was just theoretically the soldiers were exhausted when they marched all the way. If they wanted to preserve their combat effectiveness, they had to rest.

The aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern province went astray themselves. This wave was not something Hudson refused to save him. Even if the news spread, everyone would only say that they deserved it.

This is the price of a wrong judgment, and the consequences will naturally be borne by them.

After a vain trip, Hudson didn't say anything, but the noble officers below couldn't stand it first.

There were endless complaints. The high-level nobles knew that this was a political game between the coaches, and the middle and lower-level nobles could not understand that so many.

Hudson chose to pretend not to hear all this. Let's make a fuss, it's best to make everyone know it.

It is a very bad reputation to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.

For giants like the Dalton family, if they want to let them decline, the best way is to boil the frogs in warm water instead of directly trying to attract hatred.

It is better for the officers below to have complaints. Only when they have resentment in their hearts will they passively slacken in searching for the aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern provinces.

If you act a little slower and report a little slower, today is almost over, and rescue will become tomorrow's business.

If other troops are found nearby, they need rescue, and this time may be delayed longer.

Since the rescue operation has been carried out, Hudson has collected more than 30,000 soldiers from the Northern Expedition Army, which cannot be considered a failure no matter how you look at it.

The more and more troops in his hands, the speed of his movements has become slower and slower. In this case, encountering the main orc force will definitely not have any good results.

But what surprised him was that the orc army not only did not come to him, but instead deliberately avoided him.

Although there are factors that shocked his reputation, the situation within the Orc Empire was more complicated than he expected.

Avoiding not fighting is not fear, but the five royal families want to preserve their strength, but they are unwilling or dare not consume too much troops on him.

Hudson was happy to see if the enemy didn't come. The mission this time was to "rescue", rather than a decisive battle with the orcs.

Even if he fought a few beautiful battles, it would have no meaning to him. Instead, it would be more practical to rescue more nobles who broke through.

With the added bond of "life-saving grace", things will become simpler if you want to make friends.

It can be said that this time the rescue was Hudson's best opportunity to establish a network of personal connections in a short period of time and integrate into the kingdom's great noble circle.

...

In the Silver Moon Wolf Clan Army.

"You said that the Bemon cavalry closest to the enemy reinforcements are deliberately avoiding the enemy?"

Duke Daniel asked in a cold tone. The cold air that was scattered seemed to solidify the air.

"Yes, Duke. Bemon cavalry wanted to meet the enemy several times, but at the last moment they turned around."

After hearing the werewolf officer's words, Duke Daniel waved arrogantly and said, "Okay, I know the matter!"

An understatement could not change his inner uneasiness. The situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Orc Empire, and Duke Daniel had already noticed the danger.

Especially the performance of his allies made him feel even more uneasy.

The previous one miscalculated the number of reinforcements under Hudson. Everyone had limited troops and it was nothing strange to avoid the enemy's troops.

But now, everyone has gathered a lot of mobile troops in their hands and has the strength to fight against the enemy. The Bemon clan still chooses to avoid the war, and the problem exposed behind this is not a small matter.

After glanced at the Wolf Clan officers, Duke Daniel asked indifferently: "What do you think the empire will have to pay to defeat or wipe out this human reinforcements?"

As soon as the words came to an end, they immediately caused an uproar among the wolves. Duke Daniel, who had always been arbitrary, would actually ask for their opinions.

However, they would rather not have such an honor. Everyone was even more panicked when they had nothing to do with their own God of War.

"Duke, referring to the previous record of the Earl of Hudson, if you want to annihilate them, you may have to sacrifice a full Bemon army.

But if it is a battle, you will be in command, the loss should be greatly reduced."

Thomas's words immediately caused discomfort among the werewolf officers at the scene. When did the Bemon Legion become a unit of measurement?

"Don't flatter, no matter who commands, you will have to pay a heavy price to eat the enemy.

Don’t forget that the troops in the hands of the Count Hudson now are no longer the 30,000 cavalry at the beginning, and the elite troops of the Alpha Kingdom that were constantly gathering.

Maybe when the war breaks out, the enemy's troops have exceeded 100,000. It is not easy to replace so many enemies with a Bemon cavalry legion."

He is arrogant, but when facing reality, Daniel is always very sober.

As both the main orcs, there are also differences between them. A Bemon cavalry legion is equivalent to two Silver Moon Wolf Clan cavalry legiones, and its combat effectiveness is excellent.

If used well, the power it can exert on the battlefield is even better than ten ordinary human cavalry legions.

Of course, this is just a theoretical number. If it is a head-on battle, the Bemon cavalry will still not defeat the Ten Human Cavalry Legion.

Ordinary Bemonian cavalry may be able to fight ten, but there are still a large number of noble officers in the human cavalry legion, and the combat effectiveness of these people is no weaker than that of them.

Even the guards around the nobles also have excellent combat power, and the combat power of individual soldiers is not weaker than that of ordinary Bi Meng.

Against this background, even the Duke of Daniel, who has always been decisive, is full of hesitation when it comes to sending troops to annihilate the enemy.

Is it really worth sacrificing two main legions and even more troops in order to annihilate the enemy's rescue army?

"Send someone to ask the Marquis of Ushuh and Prince Butzweig if they are interested in joining forces to do a big vote.

Annihilate the enemy reinforcements, seize the enemy's defense line, and then bypass the enemy's fortress and fortress, and drive straight into the destruction of the Alpha Kingdom!”

As soon as the words came to the ground, the werewolf officers behind him were frightened. The taste of his own head coach was not ordinary.

The entire plan is linked one by one, and any accident may cause heavy losses to the army.

If this big bet is lost, the Orc Empire will be completely over. If they lose their highly mobile cavalry, they will completely fall into a passive position in the next battle.

"Duke, this plan is too much to do. Should I report it to the imperial court first?"

Thomas persuaded nervously.

"What are you afraid of? Ushuh and Butzweig may not have the courage to agree. If they report to the imperial court, they will not be able to pass it!

The situation has deteriorated to this point. If you still dare not gamble, the army of the Human Alliance will come next, and you will have no chance to gamble.

You may not think that the battle step by step is possible, we can beat the human race, right?"

Duke Daniel said mockingly.

In his opinion, this war was wrong from the beginning. It doesn’t matter if you go south on a small scale and grab something back. The whole South invasion and provoke the human race is the biggest failure.

The human race can become the "mainland overlord" because it was fought along the way in the battles of the south and north. It is not what the history books of the Orc Empire say - picking up cheap things.

If it is so easy to pick up cheap, there are so many races on the mainland, why not pick up the opportunity and leave it to the human race?

Even if you really want to challenge the overlord, at least you have to bring in a few allies to work together. What does it mean to fight alone?

...

As night fell, the orcs stopped chasing, and the noble coalition forces in the southeastern province also ushered in a brief respite.

As the orc army, the southern nobles, who were mainly hunting for the orc army, broke through all the way to the present, and the army has dropped from the initial 80,000 to 70,000, 60,000, 50,000... to more than 5,000 people.
