Chapter 220 The Evil of Human Nature

Flicked away Marshal Hodge, and the battle plan proposed by the Mossi arrived at Hudson, so it was naturally put on hold for the time being.

The siege of Dapace cannot be solved just by trying to solve it.

Involves the mobilization of 200,000 to 300,000 troops, there are too many things involved, and the time required for preparation is by no means overnight.

As a military leader, Marshal Hodge has a very deep understanding of the Principality of Moxi.

He is very aware of the current situation, and it is almost impossible to rely on the principality's own strength to keep the foundation.

Hudson's proposal is somewhat refreshing, but it is indeed a way to save the country. It's all on the verge of life and death, no matter what the effect is, you have to try it first.

The sequelae that may be involved in the future must be able to live into the future.

After solving a problem, Hudson slowly opened the official document from the kingdom.

Rewards are a must. Although there is no way to calculate the military exploits in detail, the kingdom will not be stingy with verbal praise.

After the awards, the official conclusions of the two great victories came from the two countries, and the naming was still as lacking in artistry as before.

"Bethel Xiongren Royal Victory", this name can't find any advantages other than being simple and easy to understand.

But Hudson can also understand that everyone's knowledge level is not high these days, and many low-level nobles are semi-literate, let alone serfs.

If it is too complicated, everyone will sound confused, and it will not be effective in publicity.

The official "Bethel Bear Human Race Royal Victory" not only explained the place where the war broke out, but also introduced the objects of the war and the significance of the war.

As long as the word "imperial court" is added, in the eyes of ordinary people, it must be extraordinary.

In the opinion of most people, it is far more convincing to lead troops to attack the Bearman Royal Court and **** their Royal Court Battle Banner than to severely damage several orc legions.

There are no surprises, the qualitative nature of the war is another "turning point" in the war with the Orc Empire.

Frankly speaking, Hudson's scalp tingled when he heard the word "turning point".

There is no way, the last time just after a wave of turning point was announced, the teammates immediately sent an epic defeat.

Although the situation of the battle in the Principality of Orton has not yet been reported, experience tells Hudson that the battle situation there is absolutely impossible to be optimistic.

Maybe there is an avalanche now. There is a high probability that the big victory he just won will be buried by the failure of his teammates.

Deep in his heart, Hudson has secretly prayed that the bad news will come later, otherwise it will make everyone connect the two things together, and it will be unclear.

…

In the Principality of Orton, the bad news finally reached the capital, and it came with the news, as well as the orc army on its way.

Like a bolt from the blue, the high-level officials of the Principality of Orton were stunned. Although everyone didn't have much confidence in their own army to stop the orc army, the speed of the collapse came too fast.

Anyway, they have to resist for a few days, which proves that they also played a role. According to the current situation, even if the Human Race Alliance regains the lost ground in the future, nothing will happen to them.

Weakness is the original sin. Even though there is a layer of rules on the outside, the law of the jungle is still followed in the essence of the Aslant Continent.

"The orc army is coming, what should we do?"

Orton XIX asked in panic.

As a salted fish monarch, he has never been interested in this kind of fighting. Now that the enemy is approaching the city, I naturally don't know how to deal with it.

The performance of the ministers was not much better. The greatest value of the front-line army is that it delayed the advance speed of the orc army with routs.

Effective resistance is not without, but under the general trend of the collapse of the army, any personal efforts are futile.

In the final analysis, there are still too few elites and too many recruits. The few soldiers who can fight have no chance to perform under the drag of their teammates.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we can only prepare for the defense of the capital.

In any case, we have to fight the orcs to prove the unyielding spirit of the Principality. "

Prime Minister Jacob said bravely.

The words are hard to hear, but it is also the reality. If they don't show off on the battlefield, they won't be able to hang out in the noble circle in the future.

Not only them, but the nobles of the entire Duchy of Orton will die.

Many times it doesn’t matter if you lose a battle. If you lose a battle under the absolute strength gap, no one will laugh at it.

The key is how to lose.

This kind of collapse at the first touch, and losing the city and losing ground under fierce resistance, are completely two concepts.

In a world of great conflict, nobles who cannot protect one side are cancerous to the human race.

The prime minister made it clear that he was going to die, and many of the ministers' faces darkened, but in the end, no one proposed to run away.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to move the capital and run away, but the current situation doesn't allow them to leave.

At this point, all the nobles of the Principality of Orton have no way out.

If they still can't perform well in the next battle, the pack of wolves will not let them go.

Once she retreats, the status of the nobleman of the Duchy of Orton in the future will no longer be an honor, but a joke to be ridiculed by others.

Even if you can't beat the orcs, you can only bite the bullet. The only thing that can wash away the shame is blood.

If you don’t have enough strength, you can only show your tragic heroic side and win sympathy in the noble circle.

Compassion can't be eaten, but when sympathy can make the major forces attack, it will leave a bowl of soup for the families behind them.

"Where are our reinforcements?"

Orton XIX asked concerned.

Anyway, since you can struggle, you must struggle.

It is true that the orc army is coming fiercely, but the ones who come here are all elites, and they are not necessarily willing to use them to attack the city.

"Your Majesty, the call for help has just been sent out, and the countries have not yet responded.

Considering the problem of distance, the reinforcements from most countries cannot quench their thirst near them.

Among the countries bordering us, the Mosi people can't take care of themselves. The small countries in the west have limited strength, and they can't be counted on.

The only ones who have the strength to lend a helping hand are the Warhammer Kingdom.

It's just that their performance in this war is not active, and it may not be easy to get their reinforcements. "

Dubs said worriedly.

Weak countries have no diplomacy. As the foreign minister of a small country, Dubs has always been under pressure.

Maintaining daily international relations is still barely able to do so. Now if you want countries to send real reinforcements, it is definitely not something that can be done in a few words.

"Issuing a call-up order, let all the nobles of the principality gather in the capital, and fight to the death with the orcs!

As for the others, they will not be able to play any role if they stay, so let them escape by themselves! "

Orton XIX said cruelly.

There is no hope of keeping the entire principality, so the only priority is to keep the capital.

In a sense, this is also a covert political exchange.

Let the nobles abandon their territories and come over to participate in the battle to defend the capital, in exchange for the legal evacuation of their families.

Before Orton XIX's order was spread, the refugee wave started ahead of schedule.

Knowing the brutality of the orcs, people from all over the Principality of Orton have already started to flee first without any organization.

The rich ones left in a carriage, while the poor ones took all their possessions with one parcel.

Except for some conscientious nobles who are still maintaining order, the social order in most parts of the Principality has collapsed.

Countless crimes are constantly being staged in this suffering country.

…

Escape is also very particular. After seeing the horror of the orc army, everyone knows to choose a powerful country even if they are fleeing for their lives.

As a good neighbor, the undefended Warhammer Kingdom naturally became the first choice for fleeing.

The influx of countless refugees caused the mentality of the nobles in the border area of ​​the Warhammer Kingdom to collapse.

Forcibly expelling refugees away is not in line with the noble spirit. If it gets out, it will affect your reputation.

Give generously, but his pockets are not so big. Faced with a steady stream of refugees, there is no way to save them.

As a last resort, everyone can only make a bad move to lure the refugees to the hinterland of the kingdom.

If a family of nobles can’t afford the refugee wave, they should take everyone’s responsibility together.

They were all forced out, and the Terran Alliance has regulations: In wars against alien races, all countries have the obligation to provide assistance to belligerent countries.

This also includes provisions for helping refugees.

Although the enforcement is not very strong, the regulations are regulations after all, and they still need to be followed on the surface.

Especially the Warhammer Kingdom is now one of the belligerent countries. Once the orcs fight over, they also need the assistance of all countries.

If you make a principled mistake at this time, you will get into trouble later, and it will be difficult to get help from other countries.

Under layers of conduction, the trouble soon fell into the hands of Joseph II.

"Rescue refugees?"

Unfortunately, His Majesty the Great King is busy considering the sudden change in the situation on the battlefield.

The battle line of the orc army is stretched, which also means that the border between the Warhammer Kingdom and the orcs is stretched.

"After all, I still can't hide!"

Joseph II said depressedly.

Since the outbreak of the war, he has saved a lot of face for the orcs. It's a pity that these guys didn't appreciate it at all, and pointed the butcher's knife at them.

"Your Majesty, sooner or later the kingdom will face the invasion of the orc army. It's just that the performance of the Mossi and the Ortons is too useless, which makes this war ahead of schedule.

Judging from the trajectory of the orc army, it is almost certain that they will use the Principality of Orton as a platform to launch an attack on us.

Affected by the long-term and friendly influence of the Principality of Orton, the kingdom did not invest too much energy on the western border.

According to the current situation, the orc army will definitely invade the kingdom within two months or ten days.

It is too late to build a complete line of defense.

For the current plan, we can only deploy a few more temporary defense lines to resist the slowing enemy's attack speed. "

Marshal Borg said solemnly.

It's not that he lacks strategic vision and didn't consider the defense of the western border in advance. The main reason is that the kingdom's financial, manpower, and material resources are limited.

Just to build the line of defense with the Principality of Moxi, the Warhammer Kingdom mobilized half a million laborers, almost reaching the limit of the kingdom.

In the relatively safe western region, defense issues can only be dealt with later.

In addition to issuing an order to strengthen the guard to the nobles on the border, the Kingdom of Warhammer was simply unable to give more support.

Originally planned to wait until the fortifications in the dangerous area were almost built, and then organize manpower to build a defense line in the west of the kingdom. Unfortunately, the enemy came too fast.

"Building a temporary defense line is also possible. However, the military has to speed up, and it is necessary to complete the construction of the temporary defense line before the orc army launches an attack.

Insufficient manpower, let the nobles on the border find a way. Don't they complain about the influx of refugees every day, so let them organize refugees to build fortifications.

It happens to restrain people in the border area, so as to prevent them from wandering around and affecting the security of all parts of the kingdom. "

Joseph II said indifferently.

In the absence of enough castles and fortresses to accommodate refugees, confining people to the front line is to send their heads to the butcher knife of the orcs.

Everything is for the benefit of the kingdom. If you are unable to solve the troubles caused by refugees, you can only solve the troublesome refugees.

…

"Your Excellency, there is a Griffin Rider outside who claims to be a member of the Holliser family and has brought a letter from Miss Melissa."

As the general in command, Hudson can barely be regarded as a high-ranking general now. Under normal circumstances, strangers are not eligible to seek a meeting.

However, the current situation is special. The nobles in the southeastern province all know about his relationship with Melissa.

The letter sent by the coach's fiancée, everyone dare not suppress it.

"Have you verified the identity of the visitor?"

Hudson asked concerned.

As a cautious commander, he will not easily give strangers a chance to get close. Especially at this time, the letter came too coincidental.

Although he hasn't had much contact with Melissa, he still knows a little bit about it. Under normal circumstances, his fiancée would not mobilize people for a letter.

The Holliser family has a profound heritage, but they still don't have the ability to train griffins. The only few Griffin cavalry in the family were traded from the royal family at a high price.

This kind of long-distance and dangerous mission, not to mention a noble lady, even if Viscount Oran wants to call it, he must weigh one or two.

"I've made sure, the person who came here is indeed a member of the Holliser family. Not only did he match the code word, but someone in the army knows him."

Tom said affirmatively.

After getting a definite answer, Hudson waved his hand and said, "Since there is no problem with him, let's bring him here!"

In war, there is not so much tenderness. Even if it is a general in command, it is very difficult to communicate with his family.

Official documents can be sent to the kingdom by the Mosi people, but private letters from home are not enough.

It's not that they are afraid of being used for private use, but the number of Griffon cavalry is too small to be enough.

Relying on a courier to send a message, it is normal to delay for a month in the middle. With such a long time interval, the content of the letter has become old news.

The most important thing is that Hudson took the lead, and the nobles and nobles in the expeditionary army will follow suit. I am afraid that the soldiers who specialize in sending letters will have three figures.

"Your Excellency, Miss Melissa and the Patriarch have specifically confessed that this secret letter can only be opened by you personally."

While speaking, the person who came had already handed over the letter. It's just that Hudson didn't reach out to pick it up in a hurry, but released a magic to make the letter suspend in the air.

After confirming that there was no problem, he slowly opened the letter. After a while, Hudson said slowly:

"Go back and tell Viscount Oran that I already know the matter. It's just that the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and the real troubled times have just begun, and it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being.

I will explain the rest in the letter, and you will rest in the city for a day, and help me take a few letters back by the way. "

After a pause, Hudson ordered again: "Tom sent an order to block the news about today's affairs."

It's not that things are not visible, but mainly because they are afraid that after the news spreads, a bunch of nobles will run over with family letters.

Although Griffin is a monster, its level is not very high. If there are too many letters, it will be embarrassing to find that you can't carry them.

What's more, the nobles of the expeditionary army are distributed among the six provinces. This communication work is also a big project.

Taking the resources of the Holliser family as favors, it is impossible for them to have no opinions.

This kind of bad guy, Hudson will not do it.

Picking up the pen and about to write, Hudson suddenly found that he didn't know how to write.

He understood what the Holliser family meant, but it was just that he felt that there were not enough radish holes left in front of him, and he couldn't guarantee that his family would be able to fill them up, so he wanted to dig a few more holes.

The problem is that the great nobles are not fools. It is a miracle that a fool like Duke Liufeng can meet one. It would be too whimsical to expect all the great nobles to be of this level.

While the **** is right, the hole will be dug down. If the **** is swung sideways, it is likely that it is your own foot that digs down.

It would be a tragedy if it didn't kill the family, but provoked a big enemy for the family.

During all previous battles, there were many incidents where teammates cheated on each other. But this kind of thing is not now, but during the big counterattack.

The overall situation on the battlefield has been decided. Even if a few families are killed, it will not affect the overall situation of the victory of the war. Only then can everyone have the mind to engage in internal fighting.

Generally speaking, in this kind of mutual pit game, nobles who are good at military command can often have an advantage.

The most miserable ones are usually military novices. Many times they don’t know what happened, and they are sold out in a daze.

What's worse is that someone gave her a lie, and I don't know who did it.

Originally, Hudson was not prepared to get involved in such a bad thing, but judging from the current situation, it seems that he still cannot escape.

It was okay when we were in the Principality of Moxi. Everyone did not share the same cake, and there was no conflict of core interests.

For a foreign general like him who can affect the development of the situation, it is too late for everyone to win him over, and they will not offend him at all.

Once you return to China to participate in the counterattack against the Orc Empire, the situation will be different.

In the case of a serious shortage of radish pits, in addition to pitting the great nobles in front, they also have to pit potential competitors.

In the face of interests, perhaps Hudson himself can remain rational, but there is no guarantee that others will be equally rational.

Pick up the pen and write it down again, and a letter will be completed soon.
