Caesar IV said calmly, as if everything was going according to plan, but the faces of all the nobles were not good-looking.

With the Dragoon's speed, it would not take long to return from the front line, so it was natural that Hudson's absence was interpreted politically.

Whether it is really impossible to leave, or whether the king deliberately chose a time when he could not leave to hold the meeting, the meaning is completely different.

The rapid progress on the battlefield made Hudson's reputation in the kingdom increase by leaps and bounds. With the power in his hands, he became a de facto powerful minister.

If you don't suppress Yidong, after the war, Hudson enters the central government, and it is very likely that he can directly take the position of Dongdong's prime minister.

A prime minister with great military exploits can paralyze a prime minister with outstanding achievements, and his words carry more weight.

From the local to the central, the kingdom in the east is still his old army, where will the king be placed?

"No, Your Majesty!"

Archduke Fierro replied.

"After the destruction of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea, the elven army did not stop marching eastward. The army is advancing towards the Principality of Alton.

If nothing else goes wrong, their vanguard has now completed its rendezvous with the Southern Expedition Corps of the Ancient Relics Alliance in the Principality of Alton.

The combined total strength of both sides is less than 500,000, and the pressure on the front lines of the Auton Principality is very high. Even if the Moxi Principality sends the main force to support, they may not be able to hold on for long.

What's even more troublesome is that the elves don't have an army of 100,000. If they mobilize the whole clan, they can roughly raise an army of 500,000.

That 500,000 is not the elven standard 500,000. Please relax the restriction so that the number can continue to increase.

Unlike their human race, elves only seek adulthood, and everyone, regardless of gender, can be a soldier.

In order to ensure the reproduction of the population of the tribe, the Elf tribe's conscripts mainly seek middle-aged and elderly tribesmen who have not yet regained their physical strength.

There may be an expeditionary army in the kingdom that can compete with them head-on, but they don't have enough of that kind of elite troops.

The pressure on Marshal Hudson coming from the east will be very great. If victory cannot be won quickly, the enemy will most likely send troops for reinforcements.

In a short period of time, the military pressure requested by the Kingdom Lord failed to reach the northern border. After the Orc Empire destroyed the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, it could no longer endure.

The lords in the north know best. Border frictions have been happening almost every day recently.

The military’s opinion is that on the Western Front battlefield: diplomacy should be the main priority and military should be the supplement.

The expeditionary force has created some favorable conditions for diplomatic negotiations. They successively annihilated eight thousand elven armies and captured a group of hundreds of magicians.

The elves have seen their strength, and the key to receiving the east is how to dispel their concerns."

It's easy to raise a problem, but it's a headache to find a solution.

Whether or not the Principality of Moxi can be saved will directly affect the safety of the kingdom's rear.

As for the northern line, there is no need to discuss it at all. It would be wrong to fight directly. The hatred between the Alpha Kingdom and the orcs is as deep as the sea, and there is no room for relaxation.

Everyone can tolerate the kingdom compromising with the elves, because the loss is not for their own benefit, and there is no personal pain.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been in contact with the elves, but Marshal Hudson fought too hard on the front line, and the three elven queens are all angry.

The tragedies in the Principality of Usta and the Principality of Fik are just because the elves are venting their anger.

If you want to negotiate, please wait until their emotions are vented before starting.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been paying close attention to the development of the war situation in the Southern Continent recently. According to the intelligence they collected, the Frankish Kingdom is about to win the war.

The victory of the Southern Continent will definitely stimulate the alien alliance, and they will help them convince the elves.

As for how to reassure the elves, there is a high probability that we will sign a strongly binding contract. Everyone who is leaving will most likely be asked to sign the contract."

The Foreign Minister's explanation made everyone feel slightly relieved.

If nothing else, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has secretly contacted the alien alliance and achieved certain results.

Otherwise, Count Francis would not be sure that the Alien Alliance would help convince the elves.

No one expressed any objection. If you want to survive in the Aslant continent and go east, that kind of thing is inevitable.

You can do all kinds of secret dealings, and signing a secret contract is certainly not an issue.

Just asking for the secret agreement not to be leaked is equivalent to the fact that the secret agreement does not exist.

At worst, in the middle and late stages of the war, the kingdom would concentrate all its troops on the northern frontier, pretending to be seeking death and slaying the orcs.

…

The change in the strategic plan was directly reflected in the battlefield. The expeditionary force no longer sought to defeat the enemy, but deliberately provoked conflicts between the parties.

The specific operation is very simple. Use the mobility of the cavalry to remove their strongholds first and cut off their access to logistical supplies.

The expeditionary force could no longer fight alone in the early days. After successive victories, the resistance forces scattered in the Warhammer Plains took the initiative to move over; even the Warhammer nobles who fled to the Principality of Moxi also came to surrender.

Anyone with a little bit of political savvy knows that they must participate in the war of restoration. Otherwise, even if they regain the lost territory, they will have nothing to do.

Whether the expeditionary force can help them regain their country is unknown, but it does not affect Hudson's political banner.

With the cooperation of local snakes, Hudson gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry. Even if the enemy set up a stronghold in the castle, they could not resist the original master leading the way.

A defeated army is not a burden when fighting with the Mossi army; but when it comes to returning to one's hometown and seeking to recover one's homeland, it is another state.

At the front line, the expeditionary force was at a disadvantage. It was difficult to carry a ragtag group of troops. Hudson did not summon those armed forces, so the situation was different now.

The initiative on the battlefield was reversed, resistance forces were scattered in various places, and Yidongzi became active. Many enemy strongholds with weak military strength were attacked by resistance forces.

If those people hadn't taken the initiative to contact him, Hudson wouldn't have known that there were so many armed forces hidden outside the Warhammer Kingdom.

Regardless of the quality, the total number of resistance armed forces totaling hundreds of thousands.

From the data alone, we can see how weak the control of the Ancient Relic Alliance is in the wrong place.

Of course, it's not surprising that that happened. The Warhammer Kingdom covers millions of square kilometers. How can the Ancient Relics Alliance manage all of it with just the few troops it has?

Even if genocide is not carried out, it is impossible to kill all the people in just a few months.

The plains are undefendable in the area. The nobles and people have basically fled, and there are sporadic resistance organizations.

The noble lords in the mountainous area received the news a step too late and missed the best time to escape, so they could stay in the east and persist in resisting.

If you can't save the city, you'll go into the ravines. Most of the resistance forces are struggling to hold on in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, those people had little information and did not know that the elven army had swept across the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea. Otherwise, they would not have been so active.

The direct consequence of the smoke everywhere is that it ends the hope of gathering defenders from all over the ancient relic alliance.

…

"Marshal, I just received news that the Elf Air Force dropped a batch of food to the enemy, which caused chaos in the enemy camp."

Upon hearing the news, Hudson had no reaction. In the world of science and technology, in the cold weapon age, flying cavalry could carry limited supplies.

No matter how much the elves help, the supplies they can transport are very limited and simply cannot meet the monthly needs of an army of hundreds of thousands.

"Tom, send the order to the east. Let the griffon dragoons continue to keep an eye on the enemy camp and find out as soon as possible whether the elven air force took away some of the wounded elves when they left."

Intuition told Hudson that the Elf Air Force's reinforcements were not as simple as they appeared. It was very possible that the Elf Legion in the coalition wanted to withdraw from the battlefield.

A mature race must learn to stop losses. The alien coalition forces in the Warhammer Plains lacked reinforcements and they were seriously short of food.

Especially if the food shortage becomes more severe and the problem cannot be solved, sending reinforcements rashly would be irresponsible on the part of the soldiers.
