In Da Pest, all the senior officials of the Principality of Moxi panicked after receiving the battle report from the front line.

No matter how high-minded people are, they cannot withstand successive defeats on the battlefield. Although they have emergency plans, no one wants to activate them so early.

"The enemy's offensive is too fierce, and the defense line of Augustburg is in danger; the Principality of Oton is on the verge of collapse, and a two-front battle is inevitable.

Do you have any strategies on how to deal with Donglai?"

George asked with concern.

As the king, he is very aware of the predicament that the Principality of Moxi is currently facing. The battle front is collapsing quickly. There are two reasons for this.

In addition to gathering too many broken troops, which affected the morale of the army, there was also a practical factor - the defense line was very strong.

Did the Fort Augustus defense line initially target the enemy in the north? It was destroyed as early as an orc invasion. Now the enemy troops came from the west, and all the defense lines were temporarily repaired.

Even the famous Fort Augustus is only a half-finished product, and its defense power is far behind what it was before.

The two unfavorable factors are superimposed together. If the frontline defenders are very likely to be able to block the coalition forces of the ancient survivors, then it will really be cheating.

He expected that the defense line would collapse, but George did not expect that the front line would collapse so quickly. At least he had to hold on for a month or two to buy some buffer time for the principality!

It's depressing enough that your own army's performance is not as good as expected, but you didn't expect your allies' performance to be even worse.

In the ten days since the war started, the Principality of Alton has lost cities and territory one after another. Even the royal capital has become shaky at this moment, and Cocoa may fall at any time.

The Principality of Orton also suffered heavy losses in the First World War. The performance that time was much better than when it faced the Orc invasion.

For a test paper with a perfect score of 100, the Principality of Alton has at least improved from 10 to 20 points. The increase is very amazing, but the base number is too low, and it is far away from passing the exam.

"Your Majesty, reinforcements from the Kingdom of Alpha are already on the way, only two hundred miles away from Fort Augustus.

The reinforcements that time were not elite, so the defenders just had to hold on for a few days, and the situation would improve.

With Marshal Hudson personally leading the team, the frontline battle situation at Fort Augustus was basically worry-free.

What needs to be focused on now is the dire situation they will face after the collapse of the Principality of Alton."

Count Martins said slowly.

The Ministry of Military Affairs has tried its best, but the strength gap between the two sides is really too great. Coupled with the drag of pig teammates, it will be even more difficult to make a comeback.

"Count Martins, the current international situation is very unfavorable to them.

The elves have already sent out troops. If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon receive the bad news of the destruction of the three principalities of Cantru, Usta, and Fick.

Stimulated by this, the aliens seemed to have gone crazy. Bu Mao stepped up their offensive in the Ancient Relic Alliance, and the Orc Empire also took action.

In addition to the three countries that were destroyed, two of the seven grassland kingdoms have reached the initial stage. Now only the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Franklen are left, and they have a certain degree of strength.

How long they can hold on, no one can tell. If the prairie was not too vast, I am afraid that the prairie battlefield would have ended long ago.

In that context, the Alpha Kingdom is about to be overwhelmed, and the support it can provide them is very limited.

The battlefield in the southern continent is here, and the human race has the upper hand, but it will take a certain amount of time to determine the winner.

Moreover, even if the war ends, they will first support the battlefield in the Central Continent.

At least in the next six months, it will be difficult for them to gain strong support from the Human Alliance."

Count Renato said with an embarrassed look.

The core of diplomatic issues is always interests.

Based on that foundation, Qiu Fu was born an awesome external rubber man who can occasionally achieve one or two miracles through operation.

If core interests are not involved, the diplomacy of the Aslant continent is far less effective than letting the king come forward to gain favors.

It is not normal to help relatives but not to take care of others.

The current situation is obviously not applicable. No matter how many royal marriages there are in various countries, they still have to make concessions for the national strategy.

If you want to change the strategic decision-making of a big country, the price you need to pay is by no means a small amount.

Concerned about whether he could keep the principality's foundation, Qiao Zhiya tried his best to bribe Caesar IV and Hudson, but this did not mean that he was very capable of bribing the countries in the Southern Continent.

Regardless of whether the collapse of the Warhammer Kingdom caused the disaster or the prodigal son of Joseph II, the current situation is definitely not that bad.

In the past, when continental wars broke out, nothing happened to the Ancient Relics. Every time a continental war broke out, they would fight each other.

"Count Renato, the situation may not be so bad.

The Ancient Relics have been suppressed by the Warhammers, and their true strength should not be as strong as everyone expected.

The defeat on the battlefield indicates that the principality's strength has been severely damaged. Compared to three years ago, their strength has declined instead of rising.

Don't forget that in recent years, the nobles have been recovering their vitality. A copper coin can be transformed into two halves of a flower. Everyone knows whether the serfs are having a good time.

If your stomach is not full, how can you have the strength to fight?

The veterans that the principality painstakingly cultivated during the First World War have been starved to death in recent years, and their combat effectiveness is reduced to at most 40 to 50%.

The situation in the Kingdom of Alpha is much better. The Hessians jumped out to cause hatred, and their foreign nobles simply did not dare to relax their armaments.

Nobles with a little bit of wealth would regularly organize military training for their serfs, and it would be much better to preserve the combat power of veterans."

After listening to Prime Minister Herceg's analysis, everyone looked much better, and then their faces became full of embarrassment.

After finally accumulating a group of veterans, they actually saved money on rations and lost their combat effectiveness.

No matter how much they want to beg, they themselves are "idiots who just pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons."

As soon as the war ended, the principality in the east thought that there was peace in Tiandong and immediately released Nanshan.

The combat effectiveness of the Bu Mao serf soldiers was destroyed, and the number of the standing army was also greatly reduced. As a result, when the mainland war broke out, they were caught off guard.

After all, the body can be replenished in a day or two. Before accepting the call, he did not have enough to eat, and after the call, he could only barely fill his stomach.

No matter how powerful every commander was like Hudson, he could obtain enough meat for his soldiers. Most generals simply didn't care what their soldiers ate.

"The matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say more. After that crisis is over, they will learn their lesson!

The number of refugees who have poured into the principality recently has been quite large, so we will arrange for people to send them away first, and the relief food from the east of the province will be used as military rations."

George said expressionlessly.

Once you make a mistake, you will regret it forever.

A small and inconspicuous detail actually affected the combat effectiveness of the principality's army. It was too late to regret it, but there was no need for remedial measures.

If the source cannot be opened, then the flow will be cut off. It is difficult to reduce other expenditures. Only the expenditure on refugee relief is expected to be reduced in the short term.

Even if they promise good terms, sending the person there early not only shows sincerity, but may also reduce food consumption.

As for recruiting refugees to replenish the country's population, Zhai Lu must have thought about it when he was striving for a quick victory. He could not send people eastward and then ask everyone to flee.

…

Late at night, the bloody battle at Fort Augustus continued. The only difference was that the atmosphere outside the headquarters was no longer so lifeless.

Among the officers outside, Hudson could name only a few of them. It didn't matter that he didn't know those people. It was enough for everyone to know him anyway.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

As soon as Hudson moved to his position, everyone felt a lot more at ease. The coach is here, will the reinforcements be far away?

"Everyone, please relax a little and don't be so nervous. There are only a bunch of unscrupulous coalition forces from the ancient relics outside. Their era has long passed.

Coming out to be active now is nothing more than relying on the support of the elves and trying to take advantage of them when they are at their weakest in the northern continent.

Don't ask for the defeat of the troops to affect your mood, just treat them as a strong enemy. In fact, they caught us by surprise. Just ask everyone to stabilize the morale of the army, and the enemies outside will not be a concern.

Reinforcements were already on the way, and the enemy did not give up attacking the city late at night. Could it be because there was not much time left for them.

We all cheered him up. We were all like that. What did the officers and soldiers in the east think?

Tomorrow's meeting will end here. Everyone should perform their duties and perform their tasks without giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Seeing Hudson's calm expression, everyone who was baking the dumplings seemed to have been injected with tranquilizers and calmed down.

There is nothing wrong with it. In the era of the human race, all the ancient tribes outside the city have settled down. If they are really strong, they will not be suppressed by the Warhammer Kingdom for hundreds of years.

The only problem is whether the enemy's attack is indeed fierce. It is much stronger than the orc cannon fodder of the past, and its combat effectiveness is almost as good as those of the elite orc army.

Fortunately, the strength of the ancient coalition forces was not as terrifying as when the orcs invaded. During the battle, the enemy commander tried to reduce casualties as much as possible, otherwise the battle would have been impossible to fight.

"marshal……"

Seeing Raquel hesitate to speak, Hudson laughed and cursed:

"Hesitating, that's not my style, Raquel. The arrogant and arrogant dandy back then, was frightened away by a few foreigners."

Liquid's decision to give orders immediately does not mean that Hudson is trying to seize power, but that he really has that power.

As early as World War II, he was awarded the title of Marshal by the Principality of Moxi, and his status was higher than everyone present.

When he came over that time, the Principality of Moxi took the initiative to invite him to be the commander-in-chief. When he came over to take over the command of the army, it was also in line with the procedures.

Similar cases have never happened in the Aslant continent.

Hudson was the marshal of two countries. In history, there was a very rare man who was the marshal of all races and commanded the coalition forces of various countries.

Although that was not a special situation, the existence of precedent did not provide a legal basis for him to command the army of the Principality of Moxi.
