The King - ~ written request for leave

   “It’s finally here!”

   Is he pretending to be a ghost, or did someone predict in advance that he would come here?

   Before Hudson could ask, Xu Ying suddenly trembled and said frantically, “You are not him!”

   “You are not him!”

  …

   Repeating this sentence over and over again, can you still have a pleasant conversation?

   “Senior, who is he you are talking about?”

   Hudson couldn’t help interrupting.

   Seemingly aware of his loss of composure, the phantom said unsteadily, “He, that’s him!”

   “No!”

   “You are him, and you are not him!”

  …

  Hearing Xuying’s nonsensical words, Hudson was completely confused. He doesn’t study philosophy, so “it’s him, it’s not him, it’s really blinding Hudson.

  But reason told him that there was no need to argue with a wisp of remnant soul. Especially in this kind of mysterious palace, it is very risky to go against the master.

   “I didn’t expect it to be the end of the era in a flash, and a hundred thousand years have passed by like this.

  However, the current world rules are much more stable than those of ancient times, and there should not be so many terrifying monsters coming.

  Boy, it’s almost time for a big purge again. If you don’t want to die, get stronger quickly!

   Alright, it’s time for you to leave. Don’t disturb my slumber unless he really returns! “

   As soon as the voice fell to the ground, a man and a bear appeared on the lake. Fortunately, Hudson reacted quickly enough to catch Bear Stearns’ bear hair in time, otherwise he would fall into the lake.

   Turned his attention to the island in the lake again. The original island was sinking rapidly, and several ancient trees suddenly came alive, turning into treant guards and rushing into the underground palace.

  In addition to the tumbling lake water, only one person and one bear were left on the lake, staring at each other.

  Now Hudson only has in his mind: “The end of the era, monsters, and cleansing!”

   Originally wanted to ask for more information, but thinking of what happened just now, he really didn’t dare to take the risk of disturbing the owner of the underground palace.

   There have always been legends of catastrophe on the continent of Aslante. After each catastrophe broke out, the civilization of the continent would retreat significantly.

  Many continental overlords have been reduced to sacrifices of catastrophe, and have since turned from prosperity to decline, and gradually declined.

  Seeing that a hundred thousand years are approaching, deep down in his heart, Hudson has long guessed that this time will be unusual.

   It can be “cleaned up”, which is too scary. A cleansing of all the races on the mainland might cause countless races to disappear in the long river of history.

   There are probably very few races that survived the last major cleansing safely. As for the races that appeared later, it was more like a restart.

   Whether it is a native or an alien species, no one can tell.

   What is hidden behind this, Hudson can’t even imagine.

   It’s all the fault of luck. If he traveled a few hundred years earlier or a few hundred years later, he wouldn’t bother to worry about these problems.

   It happened to be at this juncture, so I had to face it.

  The only consolation is that the big cleansing does not mean death. There are also many races that have survived, and they are even alive and well.

   “Bear Stearns, is there any information about the Great Cleansing in your inheritance memory?”

   Hudson asked expectantly.

   From the murals, it can be seen that the Earth Bear family also survived the last catastrophe. Such an important message, if there is no accident, the ancestors will definitely leave a legacy memory.

   “I mentioned a sentence: Great cleansing—dangerous! I don’t know which irresponsible bear it is. I don’t know such important information. Please record it in detail!”

  Hearing Bear Stearns’ complaint, Hudson shook his head secretly. Perhaps this is not irresponsibility, but involuntary.

  In any case, it was not in vain to come out this time. Not to mention adding some energy, I also accidentally peeked out a hint of information about the Hundred Thousand Calamities from the prehistoric ruins.

  Although you don’t know what the enemy you need to face, it is better to prepare in advance than to be unprepared.

  Back in the barracks, Hudson’s mind returned to the battlefield again. As the general manager of logistics, he needs to deal with daily affairs, which is quite a bit.

  The Duke of Cavadia led the troops to the expedition, and the Marquis of James was coordinating with the major forces on the front line. There was no third deputy commander to share the deployment work in the rear.

  Decentralization of power to the nobles below again, Hudson dared to think about it, but unfortunately he didn’t dare to implement it.

  If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Without the appointment of the kingdom, Hudson appointed a person in charge, but there was no way to convince the public.

   In case something goes wrong accidentally, he, the coach, will be the first to take responsibility.

   Watching the progress of the various armies, Hudson quickly realized that something was wrong. The resistance of the orcs was much weaker than expected.

   Now, almost all the people who come out to fight the coalition forces are local tribes, or orc tribes that have been relocated.

  The armies of the five major royal families played very few battles. Every time they made a move, they were as fast as lightning.

   Except for some small forces that were grouped together and suffered a lot of losses on the battlefield due to insufficient cooperation, the large forces were hardly damaged.

   Cursing the orcs as “counsels”, Hudson had to admit that the orc empire also had strategists.

  The current situation is: every mile the orcs retreat, the logistics of the coalition forces are stretched by a mile.

  The orc tribes along the way have pitifully low productivity. Even if they were all taken away, it would be difficult to provide much supplies to the army.

   Maybe the harder the coalition forces kill, the happier the enemy will be. The loss of a large number of vassal tribes seemed to have weakened the strength of the orc empire, but it also eliminated the hidden dangers of the rule of the five royal families.

  Under the pressure of the human coalition forces, the remaining orc tribes, no matter how reluctant they are, can only bite the bullet and join hands with the five royal families.

  The enemy wants to exchange space for time. This is a blatant conspiracy. Even if he sees it, Hudson can’t do anything.

   No matter how the orcs respond, this war must continue. Without a bright enough record, the Terran Alliance can’t close the game.

   “Where is the army of Duke Pias?”

  …

  On the front line, Duke Pias, who attacked Fengyue Harbor by surprise, asked angrily, “What’s going on?

  Didn’t the people in the Holy See say that the main force of the orcs had withdrawn?

  Why is there so many enemies stationed in an unimportant port? “

   Asked three times in a row, but no one could answer.

  The enemy is stronger than expected, and the task of attracting the enemy has been successfully completed. The only problem is: the enemy is too strong, and he was caught and beat up by the vanguard as soon as he came out.

   “Send someone to inform the Duke of Kavadia, we need reinforcements!”

  After reacting from the brief panic, Duke Pias ordered decisively.

  It is impossible to retreat. To retreat at this time is to leave the back to the enemy, which can easily lead to a big rout.

  The most effective measure is to line up to meet the enemy and stand by for help.

  Suddenly, thick smoke billowed in front of him, hurting the eyes of Duke Pias, and Fengyue Port was on fire!

   “The enemy is destroying Fengyue Port!”

   Realizing this, there is nothing Pias can do now. From the start of the surprise attack failure, it meant that he lost the initiative on the battlefield.

  For a moment, he thought of “Holy See”. This mission was still relatively secretive, and it was not notified to allies other than the kingdom army.

   It’s just that there has always been a secret relationship between the nobles of the North and the Holy See. In order to make the operation smoother, Duke Pias asked the Holy See for help.

  The army of the Kingdom, except for the nobles in the North who had to have contact with the orcs because of their interests, and the nobles in other regions could not participate in the smuggling trade, naturally they would not get overwhelmed and go to establish contact with the orcs.

  Even if they want to leak the news, it is difficult to pass the information to the top orcs in a short time.

   This action was a surprise attack. Now that an accident happened, the first object of suspicion of Duke Pias was the Holy See.

   Almost instantly, Duke Pias understood that this was caused by the fruitless communication with Bishop Simon last time.

   The word “drag” made the Holy See realize that only by pushing them to a dead end can the two sides cooperate.

  Fengyue Port was burned down, it was just a trivial matter. The key is that the enemy destroys ports and waterways, and that is fatal.

  If you want to repair the port, not to mention the waste of time and money, the key is that it takes a lot of time.

  In a short period of time, the strategic value of the port cannot be brought into play, and the combat achievements of this operation will be greatly reduced.

  For other northern nobles, they lost a share of military exploits, at most, they lost a piece of cake when they divided up the feast after the war.

   Duke Pias is different, the current coach is his family’s sworn enemy. If he failed to capture Fengyuegang’s hat intact, there is a high probability that it will be pinned on his head.

  Don’t expect someone to help you speak up. Someone has to take responsibility for strategic failures. Either he will bear it, or all the northern nobles will bear it together.

   With such an extra crime on his head, when the spoils are divided up after the war, the Lochnard family can be kicked out logically.

   Realized this, it was too late.

  When making cakes, people think there are too few people; when sharing cakes, people think there are too many people.

   It is a good choice for all parties to be able to kick out a family to share the cake. You can’t expect that everyone will sacrifice their own interests to give them a hand?

   No matter how good the friendship is, it’s useless. Lochnard is not at the end of his rope. It’s just that he missed a chance to share the cake, but it can’t arouse everyone’s sympathy.

   “Damn it!”

   After cursing angrily, Duke Pias had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words back into his stomach.

  The matter of the Holy See involves the conspiracy of “regicide”, so you can’t talk about it with your subordinates.

  But deep down in his heart, he has already greeted the whole family of the Holy See. It’s so deceitful, to force him to go into the water for the La Lochnard family.

  The more this happened, the more uncertain Duke Pias was. The main reason is that the ally of the Holy See is too cheated. If you cooperate with them, you will be cheated to death if you are not careful.

  No matter how much the king suppresses the Lochnard family, they are still a big family in the kingdom. At most, it is difficult to develop and grow, and it has not reached the point of death.

  But once word of the “regicide” gets out, no matter what the final success or failure, the aristocratic group will not tolerate them.

  The family has a big business, and it is really difficult for him to make up his mind to participate in this high-risk, high-yield gamble.

  …

  The Orc Empire, seeing the continuous battle reports from the front line, the five emperors are also under great pressure.

   “We can’t go on like this. The enemy’s attack speed is too fast, and it will take time for the tribe to transfer. We must hold them back first!”

   Xiong Renhuang said angrily.

  Any strategy requires a price. Ordinary orc tribes give up, so they give up, but their own people can’t give up.

  Among the five royal families, the Beamon family has the least pressure on the transfer of tribes. Because of the sparse population, the evacuation was completed first.

   Followed by the Eagle family. Although they carried a lot of property and couldn’t fly away, their population was not large, and they were almost transferred now.

  The remaining three tribes will be tragic. It is no fun to organize the migration of millions of people.

  Even as early as half a year ago, the implementation has already started. Up to now, the tribes that have completed the evacuation are still less than half of the total population.

  According to the current evacuation speed, they will have to struggle for at least another year.

   It can’t be faster, the long-distance trek will cause a lot of losses, if you speed up, few of the cubs in the tribe will be able to reach their destination.

  But the human coalition forces are coming fiercely, and the tribes along the way are useless, and there is no way to buy them enough time.

   “We have already destroyed Fengyue Port, and temporarily cut off the enemy’s idea of ​​transporting food by sea, so we should be able to delay their marching speed.

   But it’s hard to say. With the strength of the human race, it would not be difficult to restore the port if a group of high-level magicians were gathered together.

   There are only two ways to delay the enemy’s progress without a decisive battle with the enemy:

   Either organize troops and attack their army continuously along the way, directly delaying their marching speed.

   Either arrange manpower to go deep into the enemy’s rear to wreak havoc and hinder their grain transportation. “

   Alex said slowly.

   The Behemoth family has completed their evacuation, but the current orc empire needs to help each other. Without the support of allies, they would not be able to stand up to the allied forces of the human race.

   “Emperor Bimon, aren’t we already working on these two plans?”

   Xiong Renhuang said angrily.

   It’s all done, but the effect is not very good. Perhaps because of lack of experience, or perhaps because of lack of strength, the teams sent out to cause sabotage basically never return.

  Send people to attack the army, always love to be bitten by the enemy, and can only bully the weaker teams in the coalition army.

  Sneak attack on grain and grass is even more tragic. Most of the troops didn’t even find the grain transportation team, but they were found by the enemy in the sky and ushered in the encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces.

   Very few teams have completed the latent work. Unfortunately, the route of the enemy’s food transport team is not fixed. In many cases, there is no trace of the enemy for many days in ambush.

   It was all caused by insufficient intelligence. After losing the air superiority, the orc army was restrained everywhere.

   “Don’t look at me like that, the Eagles have done their best. Protecting the safety of our heads is already the limit. We don’t have the strength to go deep behind the enemy lines.

  The enemy is the overlord of the mainland. If our Yingren clan alone can suppress their air power, why should the human race dominate the mainland? “

  Yingren Huang stared back unceremoniously.

   There is nothing to be ashamed of, they can’t beat the human race in the air; the other four races can’t beat the human race on the ground either. They are all losers, so don’t laugh at anyone.

   “I don’t mean to sneak attack on the prairie, but to send a small group of troops to go deep into the Alpha Kingdom to carry out a sneak attack.

   Everyone can see that the enemy is protecting the grain road to death. There is no opportunity to take advantage of, even if it succeeds occasionally, it will not have much effect on the overall situation.

  The real weak point of the enemy is their rear. The troops of the Alpha Kingdom are all on the front line, and the domestic grain transportation team has almost no defensive force.

  As long as our people sneak in, even a few dozen elite soldiers can destroy a grain transportation team!

   The only problem is that the stakes are high.

   If you want to destroy the enemy’s heartland, each team should not have too many people. Everything can only be done by yourself, and you must not be bitten by the enemy! “

  Alex slowly explained.

   Frankly speaking, this is not a good choice. Now sending troops deep into the enemy’s rear, basically there is no return.

  But for the current Orc Empire, sending death squads deep into the Alpha Kingdom to do things has become their only choice.

   Regardless of whether the dispatched team can come back, as long as there is trouble in the rear, it can affect the enemy’s logistical supplies.

“difficult!

  The enemy hoarded a lot of food and grass along the way, and sent people to make trouble. If they want to affect the front line, it will take a few months at the earliest.

  In a short time, we have to find a way to entangle with the coalition forces. Unless a sneak attack can be organized to take away the enemy’s grain and grass transfer station on the grassland.

   But this is almost impossible. According to the information we have collected, it is the Earl of Hudson who is currently in charge of the delivery of food and grass in the enemy army.

   Everyone is familiar with this person. The use of soldiers is the most insidious and cunning, and it is not easy to exploit his loopholes! “

  The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor said worriedly.

   How can you be unfamiliar, mentioning Hudson Beamon Emperor and Xiongren Emperor, almost exploded on the spot. The faces of the other emperors were also ugly, as if they wanted to swallow Hudson alive.

   “No matter how difficult it is, we must try it! If the plan fails, we can only call a large army to fight the enemy, and rely on large-scale battles to delay time.

   Regardless of the success or failure of the war, we will suffer a lot. We can’t win the human race by fighting consumption. Even if all the enemy troops on the grassland are wiped out, more enemy troops will come.

  The last solution is to retreat all the way and continue to lengthen their front, so that the ethnic alliance will find that continuing this war will not be worth the loss! “

  …

  Emerald Palace, the news that the army occupied Fengyue Port and the port was destroyed, spread to the kingdom together.

  Sent along with this bad news, in addition to the apology from the front-line generals, there is also a solution proposed by Hudson.

  To sum it up in one sentence, ask the Human Race Alliance for help, and organize high-level magicians to come and repair the port.

  It is really embarrassing for the high-ranking magician master to act as a coolie to repair the port, but this is indeed the most effective measure at the moment.

  The enemy destroyed the waterway and replaced it with ordinary people for construction. I don’t know that it will be done in the Year of the Monkey.

  It can be changed with a group of high-level magicians. If there is no suitable channel, one can be smashed by magic.

  For the benefit of the human race, if you want to persuade everyone to do coolies, it seems that you can really do it.

   “Francis, I will leave it to your Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask the alliance for magician support.

   The speed must be fast. With their efficiency, reinforcements will not be able to reach the front line without waiting for a few months! “

  Caesar III couldn’t help complaining.

   are all common. Any alliance formed by multiple forces will not be very efficient.

   “Your Majesty, it is not enough to seek the support of the wizard. Since the reduction of interest rates, our bond sales have been hindered.

   Judging from the current battle situation, this war will not end in a short time. With our financial reserves, we simply can’t last until the end of the war. “

   Finance Minister Marquis Delgado said with a frown.

   On the one hand, financial resources are insufficient, on the other hand, the interest rate is high, and he is powerless.

   Borrowing is a pleasure for a while, and repayment is a crematorium. As Minister of Finance, Marquis Delgado thinks about borrowing money and repaying money every day.

   “What’s the current bond rate?”

   Caesar III asked concerned.

  The previous bond sales were very hot, and everyone rushed to **** them as soon as they were launched. More than 30 million war bonds were sold out in just a few days.

   After all, when the Alpha Kingdom printed bonds, it was time for the Terrans to counterattack. The market is full of confidence, and there is no fear of default at all.

  10% risk-free bonds, the big nobles whose money is moldy in the warehouse, naturally don’t mind taking it out and running it.

   “Four percent!”

  Marquis Delgado said as a matter of course.

  Reducing the interest rate is also a last resort. The annual interest on the previous debts alone is as high as more than three million gold coins.

  If the high interest rate continues to be maintained, there is a high probability that the post-war Alpha Kingdom will be overwhelmed by debt.

  The Principality of Moxi next door is an example. Even if all the nobles in the country share it together, the finances are still under pressure.

   “Let’s try the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the Alliance refuses to pay, then let them help us sell the war bonds.

  Talk more about our difficulties, and exaggerate our economic losses when necessary, and make them believe that the kingdom’s financial resources have been exhausted.

  Without new infusions of money, we will not be able to continue this war.

  Tell the major forces in the alliance that after defeating the Orc Empire, they don’t want even an inch of the land and kingdom they seized, and give them all as spoils of war! “

  Caesar III proudly painted cakes.
