The King - Chapter 313

   Successfully completed the killing of chickens and monkeys, and Hudson clearly felt the changes in the eyes of everyone looking at him. There is more awe and less intimacy.

   To be a general, one must first establish prestige, and this step cannot be avoided. If it weren’t for the fact that there were many nobles in the army and the situation was too complicated, he wouldn’t have waited half a year before launching it.

   It seems that Duke Pias lost his composure for a while, but in fact, this plan against him has been going on for half a year.

  Since Hudson became the head of the Kingdom’s army, he has been giving Duke Pias a signal to retaliate.

   Waiting in the unknown is always the most anxious. He was ready to welcome him, but there was no movement for a long time. Duke Pias had already suffered a lot in his heart.

  No matter how determined a person is, his mentality will collapse after being tortured for more than half a year. It’s just that Duke Pias didn’t notice this kind of collapse.

   This is the scene of the gaffe.

   If there is no previous foreshadowing, Duke Pias, as a veteran politician, would not foolishly turn his face against the commander in the army.

  Frankly speaking, the performance of Duke Pias is not bad. Originally, Hudson wanted to create pressure and force him to do it first, but unfortunately he was not fooled.

   Didn’t make a principled mistake, so the hat of “colluding with the orcs” naturally couldn’t be given away.

  In addition to the big crime of betraying the race, the remaining little tricks can’t shake the foundation of a big noble at all.

   Sighing secretly, Hudson got busy again. Duke Pias jumped into the pit, but the final result is still unknown.

  As the commander-in-chief of the army, Hudson is no longer the little noble who led the charge. If he really wanted to go to battle to kill the enemy himself, then the time would be when the army would be defeated like a mountain.

  This military deployment, he really hopes to succeed. Not to mention the destruction of the orc empire, as long as they are expelled from the rich orc prairie, that is a great strategic victory.

  Without the fertile prairie, even if the remaining land of the orc empire is still vast, it cannot support an empire.

  Even without the suppression of the five royal families, the rise of the remaining powerful races would still be limited by insufficient resources.

  With the threat of northern Xinjiang gone, it only makes sense to go north to recover the ancestral land. If they are harassed by orcs every three days, what’s the use of such a bad place?

  …

  Emerald Palace, the news of the coalition expedition came, and Caesar III was in a state of sorrow and joy.

  The war started according to his will, but what happened at the coalition meeting made him feel humiliated again.

  When did the Alpha Kingdom become unavailable and could only deliver food to the army?

   But he couldn’t accuse him of anything, Hudson didn’t argue with reason, it was due to the lack of strength of the kingdom.

  Slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat is to save face and suffer. With the current military strength of the Alpha Kingdom, there is no confidence to fight for face.

   If he really ran to compete with the major forces for the main attack task, he might have to pay for the last family fortune of the kingdom.

   “Is the supply of materials on the front line sufficient?”

   Caesar III asked concerned.

   Wars are about logistics. Compared with the orc empire, which has been severely damaged, the Terran Alliance has an absolute advantage. The only shortcoming restricting the performance of the Terran Alliance now is the logistics of the army.

   “Your Majesty, please rest assured. In the past six months, we have been paying close attention to logistical issues.

  On the front line of Zijingguan, we have stockpiled enough supplies for the army to use for half a year, and the supplies from the rear are still being sent to the front line continuously.

  As long as the prior plan is completed, even if the war ends in a stalemate in the center of the orc prairie, we can still guarantee the logistics supply.

  If there is a problem with logistics, it will be after the orcs are driven out of the prairie. If this step can be achieved, the orcs will be nothing to worry about! “

  The Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, said confidently.

  From the founding of the country to the present, this is the first time that the Human Race Alliance has made up its mind to deal a ruthless blow to the Orc Empire.

  If the alliance’s plan goes well, the action against the orcs is just the beginning, and similar means will be used to defeat other surrounding alien races one by one.

   Having been the overlord of the mainland for so many years, the major forces of the human race are no longer satisfied with being the overlord of the mainland in name, but are preparing to unify the continent of Aslante.

   They were all forced out. After countless years of development, many areas of the human race are overcrowded. If you don’t want to cause internal conflicts, you can only expand externally and grab more survival resources.

  Adding the legendary factors of the 100,000-year catastrophe stimulated the determination of the top leaders of the human race to do something.

   This top secret of the human race, except for the most powerful people in the mainland, knows that everyone else is a **** on the chessboard.

  ”In previous wars with orcs, most of them were forced to withdraw because of unresolvable logistical problems. I hope this time will be an exception.

  From now on, all the strategic materials of the Kingdom will be given priority to the front line, and if there is not enough, they will go overseas to purchase.

  Let’s take the lead together. Recently, we have had a hard time together for a few days, giving up all the important supplies such as sugar and meat products used in daily life.

  Let me set an example first. From today onwards, the palace will no longer supply sugar, wine, and cloth, and the supply of meat products will be reduced by 90%…”

   Caesar III said cruelly.

  It is easy to cut other people’s food standards, but it is really ruthless to take the lead in reducing living standards.

  However, kings and nobles took the lead in living a hard life, and there are many precedents in the Alpha Kingdom. Whenever the war enters a critical moment, in order to ensure the supply of materials on the front line, such a wave will come.

   As early as half a year ago, Caesar III played like this once. The days of continuous vegetarian diet almost made him starve to death.

  After the war zone eased and the supply of supplies became abundant, normal life resumed.

  This time, Caesar III learned to be smart. He didn’t foolishly announce the complete cut off of meat supply, but only reduced the supply.

   “Your Majesty, please rest assured. For the sake of the kingdom’s future, it is nothing at all for me to suffer a little bit!”

  As if they had rehearsed, everyone replied almost in unison.

  There is nothing to contradict, the ancestors have come here. From the outbreak of the Great War to the present, except for a few celebration banquets, all the banquets in the kingdom disappeared.

  It seems to be just advocacy, but it is actually enforced. It’s just that this kind of coercion is not a legal means, but an unspoken rule common in the noble world.

  When the social atmosphere is thrifty, extravagance and waste is a sin and will be despised by the world.

  The aristocratic gentlemen have taken the lead in saving, and other classes needless to say. Anyone who dares to commit a crime against the wind is looking for excitement for himself.

  Everything serves the war, and any behavior that contradicts this article will pay a heavy price for it.

  …

  By Xueyue Lake, looking at the clear lake water, Hudson, who revisited his hometown, felt very different.

   “Send an order to set up a temporary camp here, build a granary on the spot to stockpile supplies, and wait for the enemies in front to be cleaned up before moving forward!”

  Millions of troops are marching, and it is naturally impossible to **** food and grass all at once. That kind of large-scale material transportation is not economical at all.

  The rational choice is to continuously build temporary transfer stations along the way, hoard strategic materials along the way, and continue to re-ship materials according to actual needs.

   Xueyue Lake is one of the transfer stations selected by Hudson.

   There is no other reason, but the geographical location is good, and there are three natural rivers available.

  Although the water flow is not large, a small boat of more than ten tons can still navigate freely. It is not enough to meet the needs of the army, but the transportation pressure can be reduced by every point.

   They were all scouted in advance, and even the ships were brought over with the army. The only regret is: the direction of the army’s departure now is upstream.

   Fortunately, most of the water flow along the way is relatively gentle, and the river can be rowed forward. The river that needs to be pulled by manpower is not very long.

  The Xueyue Lake, which was originally luxuriant in water and grass, was also a gathering area for orc tribes. It has a unique grassland market, which is a rare prosperous area in the orc empire, but it was patronized by the Northern Expedition Army half a year ago.

  Even if she escaped by luck, she did not escape the fate of being forcibly recruited by the five royal families and being used as cannon fodder.

   The orc tribes living in this area are all migrated by the five royal families after the war.

   This kind of fertile land is obviously not something that everyone can own. If virtue does not match, one will suffer disaster.

  A group of unlucky tribes who migrated from the north and the west, just lived a good life for a few days, and ushered in the attack of the human coalition forces.

   Hudson missed the specific battle scene. Anyway, when he arrived with his team, even the corpses on the ground were fed to the beasts.
