The Northern Expeditionary Army was worried, and there were also disputes within the orc army. The Northern Expeditionary Army was blocked, but how to deal with it next became a problem.

Defeating the enemy is not difficult, but what is difficult is how to defeat the enemy in a short period of time while ensuring that one's own strength does not suffer too much loss.

Due to the situation, the five imperial courts did not even care about internal fighting. They originally wanted to ask the Behemoth clan for an explanation, but now they have no choice but to cancel it.

The only change is that the Behemoth clan has dropped from the top of the five royal families to the last. This was proposed by the new Behemoth Emperor Alex.

There is no way. In the previous battle of the Royal Court, the strength of the Behemoth clan was greatly damaged and they could no longer suppress the other four Imperial Courts.

Rather than being beaten down by others, it is better to give in. Besides, this time the old Emperor Bimeng made a big mistake, and he also needs to appease the other four imperial courts.

"The situation is not good. Many large tribes have moved, as if they are deliberately avoiding us, presumably because they have sensed something.

In the past ten days or so, accidents have continued to happen to the people we sent out. It was originally thought that the human race was responsible, but judging from the current situation, it is also the black hands of these large tribes.

They no longer take the imperial court's recruitment order seriously, and judging from the situation, they are planning to wait until we have a bloody battle with the human race before jumping out to take advantage."

The Yingren Emperor said with a livid face.

The Orc Empire is a mixed bag. In name, they all bear the name of Orcs, but in fact, each tribe cares for its own tribe.

The strength of the five royal families was greatly damaged, and their subordinates immediately couldn't bear it any longer. They jumped out in such a hurry, not because these tribes lacked patience, but because the hands of the five royal families were too dark.

If he accepts the call honestly, his next fate will be to be slowly consumed in the confrontation with the human race.

After thousands of years, every time the two tribes fought, it was a time of unlucky for the tribes below.

Countless powerful races were sent to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder. It was only through the brutal rule of the five royal families that they could remain standing.

It was obvious that everyone had had enough, and when they saw the opportunity to break away from the rule of the five royal families, they immediately took action.

However, the five imperial courts had been accumulating power for too long, and everyone chose to avoid it instead of confronting them head-on.

If these tribes dare to gamble and directly take advantage of the main force of the five royal families to go out and slaughter all their tribes, they will definitely be able to bring them down.

Alex was very embarrassed. This was his father's fault again. It was enough to lose the battle, but he didn't even use up the cannon fodder troops under his command in time. He was digging holes and laying mines.

"This is a conspiracy of the human race. It is difficult to defeat us head-on, so they are trying to divide the empire from within.

We cannot sit still and wait for death, we must take a fierce counterattack to let the enemy know how powerful it is!"

Crown Prince Alex tried his best to shirk the blame.

When meeting a father who specializes in cheating on his son, there is only so much he can do now.

Forget about the parts that can't be cleared away. For these uncertain charges, you can push them away if you can, and blame them whenever you can.

"Alex, don't be so excited. There is indeed a counterattack, but where to start must be carefully considered.

The current situation is not about how many human soldiers we kill, but about stabilizing the Orc Empire first.

The tribes that are changing now are just part of the orc race. If this situation continues, more large tribes will follow suit."

The Lion King said calmly.

As the war progresses, the five royal families have all suffered heavy losses, but relatively speaking, the lion clan has suffered the least damage.

In many previous important battles, the Lion Tribe did not come out to increase its presence, and accordingly there was not much loss.

This kind of unnatural luck is truly the envy of the other four royal families. Unfortunately, envy cannot change the fact that the lion-men have a greater say in the orc empire.

If it weren't for the lack of achievements that convinced everyone, the position of boss would have gone to the Lion King.

Logically speaking, at this moment, the Lion King should vigorously take the lead in the battle to eliminate the achievements of the Alpha Kingdom's Northern Expedition and lay the foundation for his rise to the top.

The current situation is obviously not the case. It is natural to be warlike, but it does not mean that the Lion King lacks political acumen.

The human army must fight, but stabilizing the rear is obviously more important. It is true that the human race and the orcs have a deep hatred, but it does not mean that the two sides cannot cooperate in a short period of time.

Once the unstable elements within the orc empire get involved with the human race, it will be the end of their five races.

As the overlord of the continent, what the human race cannot tolerate is "a powerful orc empire".

If each tribe could stand on its own and disintegrate the Orc Empire from within, they would lose the value of being suppressed by the Human Alliance.

On this issue, the following small clans may have the possibility to compromise with the human race, but the five royal families cannot.

…

On the prairie, the two armies were still facing each other. It was as if the arrival of the orc army had no impact on the battlefield at all.

The "siege but not attack" policy of only encircling one side still made Marshal Campbell feel the pressure.

There was no other way. As time went by, more and more orc cannon fodder troops gathered.

"The orcs have divided their forces, are you sure you read that correctly?"

Marshal Campbell asked in surprise.

The strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army is not weak, and its overall strength is at least 60% of the orc army. If they dare to split up and leave, who are they looking down on?

"Marshal, don't worry, we sent people to verify this information three times, and also asked the investigating soldiers to record it with a photo stone.

Preliminary estimates indicate that at least 80,000 orcs from the orc army have left. Judging from the direction of action of the enemy army, they should be returning to their home base.

Maybe something happened in the rear of the Orc Empire, and they had to divide their forces and go back."

The middle-aged officer's words made Marshal Campbell more and more confused.

Changes occurred in the rear of the Orc Empire. This is completely a super-class topic. In the past hundreds of years, there has been no similar situation.

Even though it is known that there are many conflicts within the Orc Empire, there has been no major trouble in the past countless years.

Experienced commanders are often bound by their rich experience. When encountering such an unexpected event, Marshal Campbell's first reaction was to be vigilant.

"Send the order and ask all troops to be on alert. Immediately slaughter the animals and leave the precious fodder for the war horses. We must be prepared for a long confrontation with the enemy!

Send someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the orc team and figure out their true purpose as soon as possible."

…

Bathed in the spring sunshine, the Southeast Front Army once again embarked on the journey. Logically speaking, the Southeast Front Army has been fighting continuously for more than a year, and it is time to rest and recuperate.

But everything has exceptions. The situation in the kingdom is in crisis, and the Southeast Front Army is playing the role of reinforcements. Naturally, it cannot go back to rest.

The army advanced all the way, and the team grew stronger. Caesar III issued a mobilization order again, including the severely weakened Fengyun Province and the seven southeastern provinces of the kingdom.

There was a delay for a while in order to deal with the issue of prisoners of war, and the provinces had almost completed their mobilization.

Without any surprise, the fourteen legions mobilized from the seven southeastern provinces were assigned to the Southeast Front Army.

With a troop strength of +140,000, Hudson did not feel happy at all. His intuition told him that this was just the beginning, and more mobs would be assigned to his command under unified command.

The biggest difference between having more soldiers and less soldiers is that the former is a useless commander if he loses the battle, while the latter is understandable if he loses the battle.

If he is allowed to reorganize the defense line, then these serf soldiers who have only received simple military training can still be used.

If you expect him to lead a large army and run to relieve the Northern Expedition army, it is just a trap.

We can only hope that those guys in the royal capital are not hot-headed and issue an idiotic order.

Worried about the upcoming situation, Hudson decisively chose to mess up. Apart from rectifying military discipline, he just let things go as they were.

The expanded Southeastern Front demonstrated its marching speed to the fullest against the rabble.

Marching fifty or sixty miles a day is a thing of the past. The current Southeastern Front's marching speed is directly halved.

At a snail's pace, if it had been left in the past, Hudson would have had his team kill people long ago.

Now, just slow down. It's best to arrive at the front line just as the first batch of reinforcements from the Alliance arrive.

If the Northern Expeditionary Army still fails to break through, then the problem will not be too big if they join forces and go to relieve the siege.

If the front line was unfortunately defeated, Hudson would have no choice but to admit it. He wanted to save his family fortune for the kingdom, but his own strength did not allow it.

"Count, the king's envoy is here again."

Hearing the word "again", Hudson's scalp went numb. Now he was upset when he saw Earl Lauren, and that guy would push, push, push.

"Please come in Count Lauren!"

No matter how unhappy you are, you still have to see the person. They represent the king, so if you just turn them away, Hudson is not that "courageous".

Caesar III was not someone who was easy to bully. Once he was offended, his methods against others were extraordinary.

All the great nobles in the kingdom have lost their temper. There are countless tragic cases there, and Hudson is not willing to try them.

"Dear Earl Hudson, I bring new orders from His Majesty the Great Caesar III.

From now on, the Southeastern Front Army will be reorganized into the Central-Southern Front Army, with you as the commander-in-chief and responsible for the unified command of the newly organized armies in the central and southern provinces of the kingdom."

After announcing the king's new order, seeing that Hudson did not respond, Earl Lauren couldn't help but remind him: "Earl Hudson, do you think so?"

Look, look at a ghost!

At this time, the newly mobilized legions are garbage troops with the lowest combat effectiveness in the kingdom.

I don’t know who gave Caesar III the confidence to think that he could command so many rabbles.

The hundreds of thousands of rabble from the seven southeastern provinces alone are enough for him to destroy, and now there are more than 200,000, are they going to let people live?

"Count Laurent, please tell His Majesty the King for me: Hudson's abilities are limited and he does not have the ability to command the Central and Southern Front. Please choose another capable person!"

The sincerity of his tone made Count Laurent stunned. There were some commanders who disliked the large number of soldiers, but there were not many who were sincere.
