Chapter 380: Maintaining health internally and stabilizing the spirit externally

The mobilization order was issued, but before the reinforcements arrived, the overwhelming tide of beasts broke out first.

The half-finished Blood Moon Defense Line was unable to protect the workers at all. For the safety of the workers, Hudson could only order a retreat to important strategic nodes.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether "strategy" is strategic or not at this time. After the herd crosses the defense line, the free-spirited mode begins.

The high-level monsters are qualified high-level commanders, but the low-level monsters below are not qualified grassroots officers. It is too difficult for them to command the beasts in battle.

In their eyes, the beasts under their command are equal to food. When they are hungry, they will catch a few animals at random to feed themselves, and the scared beasts will hide away when they see them.

If it weren't for the constraints of the three high-level monsters, maybe the monsters would all be free to fight each other. The average IQ of the low-level monsters is less than that of a seven-year-old child, but they don't know what the overall situation is.

After seeing the behavior of the herd, Hudson suddenly found that he was nervous for nothing. Even without reinforcements, the ragtag group in front of him would be killed by nobles from all over the country.

Even though Blood Moon County was being besieged by an army of monsters, Hudson didn't take it seriously.

Everyone who needs to be notified has been notified. This is not the first time they have encountered a beast tide. The nobles of Blood Moon County have their own response plan.

The three high-level monsters that started the beast tide are all spending time outside the city. The monsters that invade other places are just trash and will never become a factor.

"If someone can control the herd of beasts and launch magic attacks in an organized manner, our city defenses will not be able to last for three hours!"

The result was: the magical counterattack launched, causing indiscriminate blows to both the enemy and ourselves. After some angry monsters were accidentally injured, they even gave their teammates a critical hit with their backhand.

None of the nobles in the southeastern provinces asked for help, which is enough to show that the situation is still under control and there is no need to expend too much energy to pay attention.

Hudson said calmly.

Anyway, this kind of thing is not exclusive to the Alpha Kingdom. When the orcs invaded earlier, most countries in the northern continent did not send troops in time.

If you want to deduce a result in advance, I suggest calling Earl Hudson to the royal capital to report on his work. In terms of military matters, he has more say."

The pressure on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already great enough, and to make unrealistic demands is really to embarrass people.

The kingdom's current finances are still not optimistic. Perhaps the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take this opportunity to ask governments for debt relief.

Everything was caused by profit. Ever since the price was negotiated with Maxim, Hanhanlong kept going out to hunt World of Warcraft.

It cannot be regarded as a vain effort, but the gap between the north and the south of the mainland has become even wider. It has slowly become an ordinary kingdom from a powerful country on the mainland, and is in an increasingly disadvantaged position in international competition.

Grand Duke Efiero, who was named by Caesar IV, looked embarrassed. Before he could answer, his facial expression revealed his true inner thoughts.

Grand Duke Efiero decisively threw the blame.

The Iliban Kingdom has recently had a conflict with the Ogre tribe. Judging from the information, they are likely to use troops against the Ogre Kingdom again.

Maybe it was a certain mercenary group that caused the trouble, or maybe a certain noble did something big in the Blackstone Mountains. It doesn't rule out that someone did it deliberately.

Although there is no complete evidence, judging from the current reaction of the beast group, there is a high probability that the trouble is caused by the own dragon.

In particular, the Franks have issued a war ultimatum to the Orc Kingdom regarding the assassination of the mission. Armies from various places have also begun to mobilize, and it is only a matter of time before the war breaks out.

If the situation is not alleviated, the Kingdom of Oprus, which has received support from the Holy See, is likely to launch a war against the Dwarf Kingdom.

Theoretically speaking, if a counterattack is launched at this moment, as long as the three high-level monsters are held back, the unmanned beast herd will soon collapse.

The Prime Minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, objected.

If a certain high-level warcraft race breaks through its own fertility limit and can reproduce clutch by clutch, it will soon replace the human race and become the new overlord of the continent.

The kingdom does not want to intervene in the war immediately, so the best choice is to find an excuse and stand still. Anyway, there are so many countries standing in the way, and the war will not affect our homeland for a while.

In his eyes, both the soldiers defending the city and the monsters attacking the city were a valuable asset. Unfortunately, he could only watch them being wasted here.

If all monsters had wisdom, even low-level monsters could break through the bloodline restrictions through practice and grow into high-level monsters.

Governor Pierce laughed loudly.

The Creator God is fair, bestowing them with unique talents and depriving them of their wisdom.

The nobles of the southeastern provinces are still lacking in high-end strength.

It's just that these idiots obviously don't know how to cooperate. It often happens that their own beast's magic collides in the air and explodes before it reaches the city.

It's different when it comes to the Alpha Kingdom. It's surrounded by human countries. Even if it wins the war and destroys the alien races, it can still get a few enclaves.

There were no surprises. All the nobles' mid- to high-level Warcraft mounts did not appear on the battlefield, and even if they showed up, they refused to participate in the battle.

Caesar IV said bluntly.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, the finger points are pointed at each other. The two countries are currently busy arguing. It is said that two armed conflicts even broke out in the border area.

If the monsters of different races could cooperate with each other, they would have become the overlords of the continent long ago, and we humans would have nothing to do with them.

Looking at the intelligence gathered from all over the continent, Caesar IV couldn't help but ask: "Is the continental war going to break out so soon?"

Hudson ordered accordingly.

There are other countries that have to stand in front of the alien threat.

From a comparison of power systems, Magisters and Earth Knights correspond to seventh-level monsters. There is only one eighth-level monster and two seventh-level monsters outside. Assembling a dozen masters to besiege them can also achieve the goal.

If it weren't for the increasing number of Warcraft prisoners in the Hudson Private Army Camp, I don't know what this guy would be doing every day.

To be fair, if anyone owed the Alpha Kingdom a large sum of money and suddenly asked for debt relief, he would not agree.

Obviously, compared to organized humans, the attacks of the beast herd are much more random. Cooperation is non-existent. Even though the three high-level monsters roar continuously, they cannot change the willfulness of the monsters.

"The southeastern province is encountering a tide of beasts, and Earl Hudson is in charge of the overall situation. He will definitely not be able to leave for a while.

It doesn't matter if you work overtime, the key is that you won't get results. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

If it can be delayed for three to five years and the kingdom recovers its strength, it will be a different situation to intervene in the war again."

News of the outbreak of beast tides in the Emerald Palace and Southeast Province has reached the royal capital. However, many princes and nobles, including Caesar IV, did not care to pay attention to these "little things".

Count Francis said with a tired look.

As soon as Marquis Delgado opened his mouth, he showed the qualities that a finance minister should have, thinking about the kingdom's financial problems all the time.

The Kingdom of Oprus has also had conflicts with the dwarves. In recent days, more than a hundred dwarves have had accidents on the border between the two countries, and seven nobles of Oprus have also been killed.

The noses of monsters are very clever. If you capture too many monsters as prisoners, you will inevitably be noticed by your fellow creatures.

Even if you really have no money, you can still extend your debt. In the Aslant continent, no country will default on its debts before it perishes.

Obviously, he is not as optimistic as Hudson. It is rare in history for the beast tide to come with a purpose.

With a long lifespan and outstanding talents, it can be said that any low-level Warcraft tribe possesses wisdom and is also an Elf tribe.

I have to admit that Warcraft is uniquely endowed with talents. All of them are born with magic and martial arts skills. They are capable of both long-range magic attacks and close-quarters combat.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can strengthen communication with the elves, and it is best to sign a binding non-aggression treaty. As long as we can stabilize them, we will win most of this war."

There is no need to continue to hide and tuck in. The enemy is a monster, and people don't understand the tricks of the art of war.

Even more terrifying than the elves, who don’t have the ability to reproduce!”

Probably because he has been hanging out with Bear Stearns for a long time, this guy has also learned to sap from behind, shrinking his body and sneaking out every time he makes a move.

As for choosing to wait and see the situation, it is even less surprising. In the past, we were able to adopt a policy of appeasement towards the Kingdom of Hesse, but now we can also hold our troops inaction.

Whether it is a real fault or whether the Dalton family has hidden its high-end power is still unknown. Anyway, no master of this level has shown up.

We don’t expect private lending to be exempted. As long as government borrowing is eliminated, our pressure will be greatly reduced.”

"The mainland war is now breaking out, which is very detrimental to the kingdom. Even if the human race wins a complete victory, we will not be able to divide the spoils.

In the conflict between the human race and the alien race, it seems that it is enough to side with the human race without thinking. But the reality is very cruel. Taking sides at this moment cannot be solved by shouting a few words of support, but by taking practical actions.

At present, the Kingdom of Hesse is regarded as the biggest threat by the provincial nobles. They look at the problem through tinted glasses. It is right to blame them.

"The Prime Minister is right, the most important thing now is to gain time, other issues must give way.

There are no higher-level monsters because the only limitation of these abnormal creatures is their low fertility.

The central part of the continent is not peaceful either. There is an armed conflict between the South Coast Kingdom and the Three-Eyed Tribe; the conflict between the Dante Kingdom and the Troll Tribe escalates; and the Hessian Kingdom also confronts the Stoneman Tribe.

"Send the order and let the magic crossbows, magic crystal cannons, and trebuchets in the city aim at the beasts and shoot freely."

Judging from the information obtained by Hudson, there are a lot of magisters and earth knights in the province, but the higher level magisters and sky knights are all broken.

The roar of artillery fire sounded, and the pressure on the city defenders was instantly reduced. Facing the defenders' long-range attacks, the Warcraft also launched a magical counterattack.

If you make a request at this time, perhaps only the few small countries in the northern continent that are close to the elves will agree, but they will agree with conditions.

Don't be so pessimistic, everyone. At least the threat to our south has been eliminated for the time being. It is impossible for the three central kingdoms to risk the world's disapproval and provoke a civil war among the human race during the continental war.

"Earl Hudson, you are joking.

Unfortunately, like Hudson, these big men also cherish their lives. If they are surrounded by a herd of beasts, they do not have the ability to escape unscathed.

As the Minister of Military Affairs, he naturally does not lack professionalism. However, he has a pessimistic attitude on this issue and really dare not give Caesar IV the guarantee he wants.

The bloody battle began, and it was another tragic day. Patrolling the battlefield from a distance, Hudson sighed secretly.

The Alpha Kingdom seems to have no foreign races nearby, but the Northern Continent is the place where the foreign races have the strongest power. If a fight really breaks out, the pressure they will face will only be greater than those of the countries involved.

You know it, but Hudson will definitely not admit it. If this kind of thing spreads, it will not do him any good.

In normal times, they could fight freely, but at times like this, they all chose neutrality.

There are various signs that a new round of continental war is just around the corner, and now it depends on who starts the war first."
