Chapter 219： Hashi's Secret Method of Salvation

Chapter 219 Hashi's secret method of saving the country

Flying Bear Castle, since the victory of the last war, has been completely peaceful. Even if an established orc army passed by, they had to make a detour.

Within a radius of twenty miles, there were almost no shadows of orcs. As if a tacit agreement had been reached, the orcs would not cross the border and break in, and the defenders would not go out to cause trouble.

The expected orc revenge did not come as expected. After the high-level meeting of the five imperial courts, each of them chose to go back to their respective families.

Obviously everyone is sensible, and they know very well that face is not worth mentioning in front of racial strategy.

Hudson did not waste the hard-won tranquility period. Hurry up and strengthen the training of the army in the city.

This time he offended the Xiongren Royal Court so hard, if there is a chance next time, they will definitely come to take revenge.

It’s okay if the war doesn’t break out, but once it starts, there will be rivers of blood. If one's own strength is not enough, it is doomed to tragedy.

…

"What, orcs invaded the Principality of Orton?"

Hudson asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Earl. You heard me right, the main force of the orc army did bypass Dapace and head straight for the Principality of Orton."

Getting the exact answer from Marshal Hodge, Hudson didn't care about his image, so he got up and opened the map, and studied it carefully.

Soon he came to the conclusion that the Warhammer Kingdom was going to be unlucky.

Since the situation in the Principality of Moxi has deteriorated, the Kingdom of Warhammer has added a new line of defense.

Hudson does not know the specific situation. Anyway, the defense line has not been fully completed yet.

Now that the orc army is heading south, it is obvious that they want to bypass this line of defense and launch an attack from the Principality of Orton.

It is obviously too late to continue repairing the defense line. No matter how fast the construction period is, they can't hold back and they can keep detours.

Different from the Moxi Principality, which has a flat surface, more than two-thirds of the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom is mountains and hills.

The special terrain is not suitable for the march of the army, but it cannot support the special race among the orcs. When it comes to the use of mountains and hills, the orcs are obviously stronger than humans.

It may not be easy to take down the Warhammer Kingdom, but as long as it is taken down, the Orc Empire has the possibility of sticking to it for a long time.

On the contrary, even if the orcs took possession of the great plains like the Principality of Moxi, they would still have to throw them away as soon as the Terran Alliance army came over.

One is to grab a wave in the early stage, and the other is to enhance the long-term benefits of racial strength. It is clear at a glance how to choose.

After judging the movement of the orc army, Hudson found that he seemed to be unable to do anything.

Notify the Warhammer Kingdom to raise its alert?

This is pure bullshit. Not to mention why people should believe him, an unrelated person, even if they really believed it, the Warhammer Kingdom would not have time to build a line of defense.

Deploying troops and generals is easy to say, but if you really want to implement it, you will encounter various problems. If you want a peaceful area to immediately become a war front, the coordination of food and supplies is a big problem.

The safer the area, the worse the military defense capability, which is a common problem of all nobles.

Castles that can house all the citizens only exist in frontier war-prone areas, and the nobles in the rear build castles and fortresses to defend against their own people.

As long as the orc army launches an attack, the land close to the Principality of Orton in the Warhammer Kingdom will fall, and then spread to the entire Warhammer Great Plains.

Lost the kingdom's only great plain, even if the Warhammer Kingdom wanted to keep resisting, food pressure would collapse them.

It is not even possible to count on allies to help. The rest of the country is basically mountains and hills. Even if everyone has donated supplies, it is difficult to transport them to the front line in a short while.

After calming down, Hudson quickly adjusted his mood. These things are obviously not what he needs to consider.

The life and death of Warhammer Kingdom will not affect Flying Bear Castle. As for the overall interests of the human race, that is a question that only the big shots above are qualified to consider.

"Marshal Hodge, you came here in person, isn't it just to tell me the news?"

Hudson asked concerned.

Intuition told him that the Moxi people were planning to make trouble. Vaguely, he had already guessed a bit.

But for this kind of thing, he still wants to get an accurate answer from Marshal Hodge.

"Earl Hudson, you really have eyes.

Yes, I came to visit you this time, mainly to ask about your views on the current situation.

The main force of the orcs has left, no matter where their ultimate goal is, we have a short period of time to usher in a respite.

Whether it is to reduce the pressure on the Principality of Orton, or to reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield. In times like these, we all have to do something.

Someone in the Principality’s senior management proposed to take the opportunity to launch a big battle centered on Dapace, severely injuring the orc army that penetrated deep into the Principality’s hinterland! "

All the reasons are nonsense, and the core meaning is "breaking the siege of Dapez".

After getting the exact answer, Hudson fell into deep contemplation.

From the standpoint of the Principality of Moxi, solving the siege of Dapace is the most important strategy right now. But he is not a Moxi nobleman, so it is impossible to consider the issue from the standpoint of the Moxi people.

"Your Excellency Marshal, you should know how difficult this plan is.

Judging from the current situation, your country seems to have a lot of troops that can be mobilized, but there are not many main forces that can be mobilized.

With the combat power of an ordinary army, once they encounter the main force of the orcs in the field, it is giving the enemy a record.

What's more, the orcs still have more than 300,000 troops outside the city of Dapace. No matter how **** the combat power is, it can hold back 20 or 30 ordinary legions of yours.

You have also experienced the combat effectiveness of the undersized Beamon Cavalry Legion. A cavalry regiment can overwhelm an ordinary legion.

If there are not a few main forces, it may be difficult to win the victory if this Beamon cavalry is held back. "

Hudson said unceremoniously.

To save face, then you have to share something. This kind of battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops will be a disaster if the problem is not considered and perfected.

People change all the time. Originally with limited troops and unreliable teammates, Hudson naturally wanted to return home.

But with the development of the situation, after getting used to this unrestrained freedom, Hudson gradually changed his position.

Going back to the country will also have to fight. Instead of obeying the orders of others, it is better to control your own destiny like this.

Not only can you make war fortune, but you can also take advantage of the chaos to accumulate strength. The spoils of robbing the orcs can be divided up in private.

Under the banner of an expeditionary force, it is also a routine operation to privately expand one's own strength.

Doing this in peaceful times has already caused an uproar. But now is the time of war, and the primary task of everything is to fight against the orcs.

Gathered the defeated soldiers from all over the world, and recruited Moxi's young and strong into the army. It seemed that they were all soldiers of the expeditionary army. In fact, the best soldiers among them all entered the private army of the Koslow family.

It's just that Hudson's operation was concealed enough, and he didn't directly hang it under his own team name, but replaced the general officer with his own under the name of the regular army.

On the surface, the quality of soldiers under direct line officers is better, the weapons and equipment are better, and the treatment in other aspects is similar.

This small difference is the same for almost all coaches, and it has not caused any waves at all. Maybe some smart people found out, but everyone tacitly didn't say it.

The boss can secretly expand his strength, and the younger brothers can follow suit. The only difference is that they have no autonomy, and Hudson has to distribute the soldiers, so they cannot expand the army arbitrarily.

According to the current situation, it may not be long before the expeditionary force will restore the six legion system again.

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, Hudson's small actions naturally cannot be hidden from Marshal Hodge.

It's just that Hudson gathered only routs and young men, and he didn't reach out to dig into the walls of Moxi's army, and didn't touch his bottom line.

In addition to not being able to figure out Hudson's true purpose, the Principality of Moxi still needs the expeditionary force to work hard, so it can only choose to turn a blind eye.

"Your Excellency, the key to this battle is the expeditionary force. The Terence line of defense still has meaning. We can't lose these castles and fortresses, even if we deploy troops, it is very limited.

No one can tell how effective the troops mobilized one after another in the country are.

Let them deal with the ordinary orc army, maybe they can barely make do. If you encounter Beamon cavalry, you may collapse in an instant.

Currently the most suitable for dispatch. It is the expeditionary force under your command. Only the expeditionary army can hold the Beamon cavalry head-on.

For this plan, the Principality has decided to spend all its money. If you have any requirements, just ask! "

Marshal Hodge said rather helplessly.

They were all forced out, and all the high-level officials in the Principality wanted to lift the siege of Dapes. But when it came time to take action, no one of the big nobles dared to take on this important task.

Including Marshal Hodge himself, he also didn't dare to take the family's private army to head-on with the Beamon cavalry.

If you can't do it yourself, you can only pin your hopes on the expeditionary army. Unlike the private army of the great nobles, the composition of the expeditionary army is much more complicated.

Except for the thousands of private troops of the Koslow family who are direct descendants of Hudson, the rest are private troops of other nobles, or another name: Kingdom Army.

There is the possibility of operation.

No one would be willing to take risks with their own lineage; but taking risks with the kingdom's army is another matter.

Everyone is a smart person. Marshal Hodge knows very well that Hudson is the one who can't afford it, so he simply hinted at the conditions.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, this is not a question of whether your country will spend its money. Beamon cavalry come and go like the wind. If you want to stop them, you have to use cavalry against cavalry.

Considering the combat effectiveness of the Beamon cavalry, it is impossible to defeat them without several times the cavalry. To be on the safe side, it is better to gather ten times their cavalry.

If the cavalry is insufficient, then we can only find a way from the equipment, for example: equip the cavalry with a light magic crossbow.

Or equip a large number of magic scrolls.

Of course, it would be even better to have a group of magicians accompanying the army..."

Flickering with his mouth full of horses and carriages directly made Marshal Hodge dumbfounded.

Being able to mobilize ten times as many cavalry as the Beamon Legion, the Principality of Moxi has already started to act, why bother to look down and ask for help?

If there is the ability to equip the army, the Principality of Moxi has already equipped the army. Why delay it until this moment?

Magic crossbows need to be crafted by alchemists, and magic scrolls also need to be carved by magicians. Not to mention the cost of materials, purely handmade manufacturing restricts the production capacity of these weapons.

The magician regiment accompanied the army, let alone. As far as the pitiful number of magicians in the Principality of Moxi is concerned, it is difficult to restrain the shaman priests in the orc army.

"Your Excellency, these requirements are too harsh. To tell you the truth, we can't do any of them.

I'm afraid that only a big kingdom like yours can come up with 100,000 cavalry.

Magical crossbows and magic scrolls are equipped on a large scale. Perhaps the Frankish Kingdom and the Holy See can equip some elites.

Now the principality can squeeze out 3,000 horses for you at most, and then deploy 8,000 cavalry to cooperate with you.

The war consumables in the magic crossbow and magic scroll can only be squeezed out after the assistance of the Human Race Alliance is in place. "

Marshal Hodge said helplessly.

The lion is not afraid of opening his mouth wide, but he is afraid of the wild price bidding. No matter how much it costs to buy Hudson alone, it is cheaper than buying the entire expeditionary force.

It's a pity that all the hints were in vain, and Hudson didn't take it at all, and none of the requests he made were reliable.

"Your Excellency Marshal, if this is the case, then there is nothing I can do to help you.

As you know, the expeditionary force has just experienced a major battle and is resting.

In a short period of time, it is not suitable to participate in large-scale battles. How about we wait for the aid supplies from various countries to arrive before we take action? "

Hudson sincerely suggested.

As a nobleman with a conscience, does he know what money can be received and what money cannot be taken.

So many nobles under his command are willing to hang out with him, what they value is that Master Hudson is lucky, able to win battles, has a good reputation, and never cheats his teammates.

The reputation that has been painstakingly cultivated for many years, how can it be compensated for a little profit?

It’s not that they look down on the Moxi people, it’s because this war has consumed too much of their national strength, and with the little wealth left in the end, they can’t offer a sky-high price at all.

"Your Excellency, you can't think that the assistance of the Human Race Alliance is free, right?

Real free aid has always been symbolic. More strategic materials have to be bought with money.

Your country has the most experience in repaying debts with things without money. After every major war, debt piles up. "

Marshal Hodge couldn't help complaining.

Although the major forces in the Terran Alliance did not add insult to injury or drive up prices, the money that should be given is indispensable.

It's not that the governments of various countries have little support, it's simply that everyone's pockets are not very rich.

In the continent of Aslant, the tax that the government can collect is very limited, and it is limited to maintaining daily expenses. Most of the financial resources are held in the hands of nobles everywhere.

Unless a war breaks out, it is difficult for the government to impose new taxes. Even if the king issued an order, the noble council would veto it.

Taxes that cannot be approved by the Parliament are all illegal taxes and cannot be recognized at all.

"Your Excellency Marshal, let him settle the debts. After so many years, the Alpha Kingdom has survived. Are you still afraid of this?

With all due respect, the situation in the Principality of Moxi is now very dangerous, and if you are not careful, the country will be destroyed.

If you want to survive this catastrophe, the most important thing your government should do now is to borrow heavily. Borrow as much as you can, and the more debt you owe, the better, especially if you want to borrow more money from the great nobles.

It doesn’t matter if you pay more interest, if you still have to pay it back, don’t rush to think about it now.

Only if you owe enough debts, the creditors will not be able to watch you fall, and the support from various countries will come in advance.

Even if your country really falls, these creditors will help you up. Even this kind of action is still spontaneous, and they can't help but favor your country when making decisions.

Even if the debt hole is too big, and one day you really can’t pay it off, you can still repay the debt with the land in the north.

They definitely won't want it. If you make a gesture, everyone will extend your repayment period.

These are the biggest secrets that the Alpha Kingdom has been able to hold on to until now under the vanguard of the Orc Empire.

If you didn't get along very well, I would never tell you. Even if I go out of this door now, I will not admit to having said these words. "

Hudson said flicking to his heart's content.

The Alpha Kingdom has been persevering, and it has nothing to do with debts at all, and it is impossible for the Kingdom to rely on creditors every time.

But this does not prevent Hudson from using it to fool the Mossi.

When a person reaches a crisis point, he will choose to grab a straw when he sees it. What's more, Hudson also gave a good reason + case.

The most important thing is that the operability is really high. As long as the money owed is enough, the creditors dare not watch them die.

They were all forced out. Hudson was in the Principality of Moxi, and he relied on the Moxi people for money, food, materials, weapons and equipment.

Now that the benefactor has no money in his pocket, it also means that the good days of the expeditionary force are coming to an end.

In order to better resist the invasion of orcs and for his own better life, he can only work hard to bulge the pockets of the benefactor.

The resulting debt problem, anyway, he does not need to pay it back, so why bother to think so much?

"Your Excellency, is this really feasible?"

Marshal Hodge asked in disbelief.

The previous cognition of life suddenly became insufficient at this moment.

Hudson rolled his eyes directly, pretending to be annoyed and said: "Okay, doesn't the marshal already have the answer in his heart?

But this kind of thing must be kept strictly confidential. Once it gets out, it may be difficult for your country to borrow money! "
