A period of verbal sparring often ended without results. The gap between the psychological expectations of the two sides was too wide, and even if both sides made concessions, the negotiations inevitably fell into a stalemate.

According to the rules of the Aslant continent, problems that cannot be resolved at the negotiation table are usually resolved through a fight.

The alien alliance hopes to use force to force the three countries to surrender, and the three countries also want to fight for their own rights through military means.

The unhappy first contact pushed the situation in the Central Continent to a climax, and the war became more and more intense.

The changes in the international situation have not yet affected the Alpha Kingdom. It is true that the kingdom's senior officials do not know that the situation in the mainland is deteriorating, but they are really beyond their reach.

As the military commander, Hudson naturally received news of the deterioration of the situation in the Central Continent. I don't know where the confidence came from, but Caesar IV wrote to him urging him to quickly deal with the Orc Empire.

The situation is very good, but let's face it. If we really want to lead the army to a decisive battle with the Orc Empire, Hudson does not think that the kingdom can win.

The current benefits are constant, maybe because he dragged the orcs into a war of attrition. With the advantage of a higher level of civilization, he bullied the orc empire.

Once the orcs wake up, reluctantly give up a large area of ​​land, and directly give up the confrontation with them, the situation will immediately change.

Even if the orcs can be defeated temporarily, it is useless. Even if there is a human alliance to back it up, the kingdom's comprehensive national strength is not enough to support the labor expedition.

"Marshal, the enemy's army has moved. According to the reconnaissance information, all the nearby orc armies have been mobilized and are rushing towards them.

When fighter planes appear, please beg them to hold on for a few days so that the defenders can fight their way out..."

Before Kane could finish his words, Hudson interrupted: "There is no need to ask for it, the time for a decisive battle is very premature.

What the kingdom needs is not a victory, but a victory without much loss. If both sides lose in a fight with the orcs, what can they do to cope with the subsequent international situation?

Send the order to go east, ignore the enemy's troop movements, let the troops wait for opportunities to find the enemy's weak points, and break through directly to return home!"

If everyone can see the fighter plane, then it is not a fighter plane.

Although I don’t know what the orcs were thinking, and they foolishly mobilized infantry to surround the cavalry, there is definitely nothing wrong with ignoring it.

The expeditionary legion can go deep behind enemy lines once and then come back a second time. In the vast prairie, the orcs cannot defend themselves even if they are prepared.

Perhaps large tribes can bring a little trouble to the expeditionary force, but the mainstream of the orc prairie is not small and medium-sized tribes.

A small tribe of several thousand people, even if the main force is at home, cannot stop the expeditionary force.

If the security problem in the rear cannot be solved, the Orc Empire will become even more passive in the war coming from the east.

"No, Marshal!"

…

In the orc army camp, the five emperors who received the battle report from the front had terrifyingly gloomy expressions.

Regarding whether the follow-up combat plan can be completed, the top brass of the orcs, including the five emperors, did not sleep all night last night.

However, the plan to lure the enemy had just started to be implemented, and the enemy actually escaped.

"idiot!"

"It's just hopelessly stupid!"

"Three infantry legions and two cavalry legions were gathered together, but they didn't hold the enemy back for a day. Will the situation of the empire be ruined by those losers from the east?"

The grumpy Bear King immediately cursed.

The failure of the plan to lure the enemy meant that they lost the cocoa that could defeat the main force of the Alpha Kingdom in a short period of time.

The enemy troops were huddled in the city and could not come out. There was no other way except to attack by force.

The expeditionary force can go to the Orc Empire for a walk, which does not mean that the Orc army can also go deep into the Alpha Kingdom.

"Sabotage" is easy to say but difficult to implement. There are dense fortresses along the way. Even if you send troops there, you will not dare to move nearby. If you go deeper, you will not be contributing to the enemy's success.

Secondly, the risk is high. Secondly, it is useless to go deep behind enemy lines. For hundreds of miles on the front line, the enemy has already fortified the walls and cleared the field, and nothing can be grabbed.

"That's enough, King Bear!

No one wants to see something like that happen. The officers and soldiers on the front line tried their best, but the enemy didn't bother them at all.

It was probably their plan, and Xingdeson saw through it and didn't give them a chance to carry it out at all.

It doesn't matter if it ends now, or if we had a decisive battle at this moment, they wouldn't be able to defeat the enemy.

After Daniel brings his army to join them, and then waits for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with the enemy, it will at least increase the chance of winning by a few percent!"

Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said angrily.

It was obvious that what the Bear King said just now stimulated him. The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener did not.

The Bear King blamed the Legdong people for being useless, but in the Silver Moon Wolf King's view, he was blaming Mulberry and Huaihuai.

With such a bad situation after fighting and receiving a posthumous title, Daniel must be the head coach of the army and take full responsibility. His son's poor performance means that his reputation as an old man is also in disgrace.

Although he was strong enough to fight back, it was only because of his teammates. Daniel's performance was unsatisfactory, and the performance of other orcs was even worse.

If another general were to take command, the assembled army of 200,000 might have been completely destroyed by now.

The tragedy in the Ancient Relics Alliance has proven that the expeditionary army commanded by Hudson is capable of defeating the strong with the weak.

"snort!"

"Wolf King, am I not kidding?

The front line is already short of supplies. If Daniel doesn't bring hundreds of thousands of troops to join them, what kind of logistics support will there be?

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no need for the enemy to attack, and the army's logistics alone will be able to bring down the empire.

We all hesitate and dare not tell the truth, so let him tell us.

Now there are only two roads in front of them. Qiu Mo attacks all the way and forcibly tears through the enemy's defense lines; Qiu Mo gives up a large area of ​​land and directly withdraws his troops and goes back to recuperate!"

When he shut up, the Bear King smashed the table in front of him with a slap. The flying sawdust shocked all the orcs. The scene was much more exciting than flipping the table.

The lid was opened, and all the generals fell into panic and turned their attention to the five emperors.

Now they are the only ones qualified to participate in such a scene. If anyone else opens their mouth, they will get burned.

Looking at the Bear King who looked indifferent, the faces of the four emperors were also very ugly. The essence of not giving face was the fact that the strength of each race had changed.

The five royal families were all forced to live in remote areas for a period of time. In an era of severe shortage of supplies, the losses of the cavalry were definitely greater than those of the infantry.

When there is a shortage of resources, it will be difficult to continue the racial heritage. The orc royal family, which cannot afford to raise so many war beasts, is also forced to reduce the number of cavalry.

To be precise, did they reduce the number of troops? The specific disarmament work was not completed by the human coalition forces for them.

Affected by the lack of supplies, various tribes had to reduce the number of war beasts they raised. The Silver Moon Wolf Tribe and the Lion Tribe suffered the greatest losses. Bu Mao eliminated the old and weak, and for a time the reproduction of war wolves and war lions was suspended.

Those actions directly determined how their military strength would be greatly affected in the following years.

The military strength of the Ursine royal family, which was less damaged, gradually surpassed that of the Lion people, and they became the most powerful clan in the Orc Empire.

Whoever is stronger has more say. The inherent political rules can never restrain the weak.

…

After leading the army back into the kingdom's land, Hudson breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although he had always been calm in front of his subordinates, he was still under great pressure from outside.

After all, things are going on behind enemy lines. If anything happens and the main force collides with each other, heavy losses will be inevitable.

After taking a look at the generals who greeted him, Hudson calmly waved his leg and said: "The soldiers need to rest after returning from an expedition, so the celebration banquet will be postponed!

Distribute the prepared wine and meat to each unit. Be sure to ensure that every expeditionary soldier receives adequate nutritional supplements."

After every war, there must be a "celebration banquet", which is not just a game of boasting. It provides enough food and wine, but the essence is to supplement nutrition for the soldiers.

The expeditionary legion was killing everyone in the grasslands. Although there was no shortage of food supplies, the battlefield was still there and the rhythm of life was disrupted.

Because of the needs of the war, it is not normal to be hungry or full. Many times, even if you want to take a sip of hot soup, it is not a luxury.

Many soldiers lost weight after sleeping and eating in the open all the way east.

Hudson was in a hurry to bring his troops back to rest, but he was also worried that the soldiers' bodies would not be able to hold up. He had no way of explaining to all parties that he had destroyed the elite of the kingdom because of overuse.

"No, Marshal!"

When they replied, the generals were obviously suspicious of something. The prestige of Hudson did not allow them to swallow the words that came to their lips.

The celebration banquet was postponed but not canceled. There was no need to get into trouble with the coach over such a trivial matter.

The officers had no objections, but the soldiers in the east had no objections. The prepared wine and meat were distributed to Donglai, and the postponement of the celebration banquet meant that there would be one later, which would be double happiness.

The only thing that needs a headache is probably the logistics department. That is not a small problem. The expeditionary legion went deep behind enemy lines for two months and saved a lot of food and supplies.

After An Ding came back from the east, the losses of the expeditionary legion were also calculated. The price of killing all directions along the way was no: four thousand officers and soldiers stayed in the prairie forever, and two thousand officers and soldiers were forced to retire and return home.

Disability can be cured, but the vitality consumed is difficult to replenish.

Due to the demands of the war, many soldiers have received multiple magical treatments, and their vitality has been exhausted.

If you continue to stay on the battlefield, Coco will die at any time. If you return to your hometown to be recuperated, you can probably live for a few more years. If you take good care of yourself, you may be able to meet the average life span.

Hudson was not a heartless person, and could not ignore life. The situation in the kingdom had not deteriorated to the point where desperate efforts were necessary, and there was no need to send those heroes to death.

"José, go to the army for him and persuade those officers and soldiers who are not suitable to stay on the battlefield."

"Forget it, he went over in person and agreed. I am responsible for drafting documents, explaining the detailed situation to foreign countries, and asking various places to properly resettle retired officers and soldiers.

In addition, I will also make a statistical summary of the expeditionary force's achievements in the prairie and the relevant battle history. After polishing and sorting it out, I will report it to the kingdom."
