The King - Chapter 254

  Chapter 254 Entrepreneurship is difficult

  In the Warhammer Kingdom, under the full-scale attack of the orcs, the solid steel defense line was finally overwhelmed and collapsed.

  Among the heart-piercing shouts of killing, the end of the battle was announced.

  Several orc emperors were looking at the battlefield from a distance. It can be seen from their intentional eyes that they don’t want to withdraw their troops so early.

  Although they didn’t say anything on their lips, they greeted the whole family of Emperor Bimon in their hearts.

   Possesses the secret method of longevity, so it’s fine if you don’t share it with everyone, but you can’t even keep it secret.

   Now that the upper body is in trouble, even the strategy of the entire orc empire is frustrated. If it weren’t for the stimulation of the secret method, would the Human Race Alliance still be arguing now?

  According to past experience, there was no precedent for the arrival of reinforcements in the first year of the war, and it was the second year at the earliest, when the front line couldn’t stand it anymore, and countries would send troops slowly.

   In a few more months, the battlefield is another world.

   The alien race who was about to join the battlefield after being persuaded by them was now scared back.

   There is no way out. Although the human race, the overlord of the continent, is now divided, its overall strength has risen instead of falling.

  Looking at the number of masters, one can tell that a group of old men who are dying, with the cooperation of the Alpha Kingdom’s army, can kill all the way to the Bimon Royal Court.

  The orcs are not a small race. In the entire continent of Aslante, they are also giants second only to the human race.

   It was never a new thing that the second child failed to challenge the boss, but their second child’s defeat was too miserable.

  If a few more allies participate, there is no guarantee for others, they can still destroy the Warhammer Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi.

  Kicked away the obstacles, and the small countries behind couldn’t stop their soldiers. At that time, the sphere of influence of the orc empire would be able to extend all the way to the elf coast, and face the elf kingdom hand in hand.

  As a multi-ethnic country, it is also a matter of course for the mainland survivors of the ice and snow world in the extreme north to be included under its command.

  When the Orc Empire was at its peak, these races were part of them, and now they have returned to the embrace of the Orc Empire without any problems.

   The orc empire, which has completed a major merger, is still no match for the human race, but the strength gap between the two sides will be greatly reduced.

  After forming an alliance with the elves, there is still a chance to succeed in resisting the counterattack of the human race.

   As for whether the elves are willing to be neighbors with them, the emperors don’t care at all. Racial competition is based on pros and cons, how can it be done by one’s temper.

   The elves and the orc empire did not deal with each other, but he was a natural ally when it came to fighting the human race.

   Without the orcs to pull hatred in front, the heavy hammer of the human race will fall on the elves. Compared with the poor and white orc empire, the elves themselves are precious wealth.

   “Let’s go, the battle here is over, and it’s time for us to leave.

   The reinforcements from the Terran Alliance are about to arrive in the Principality of Moxi, and they will come to rescue them in a short time. The opportunity to destroy the Warhammer Kingdom is gone! “

   Yingrenhuang said with emotion.

  An opportunity that was close at hand just slipped away from under the nose. In the future, it will become more and more difficult to change the pattern of the mainland.

  If there are no major changes in the future, the dominance of the human race in the mainland will become more and more stable after this battle.

   “Let’s take a look again, I’m afraid we will never have the chance to come back this time in this lifetime.

   That immortal Bi Menghuang is really a scourge! “

  The Lion King said indignantly.

  In order to provoke this war, he lost his face. In the end, he was really not reconciled to end up in such a dismal situation.

   “What’s the use of saying this, the old and immortal people of the human race have all killed the Beamon imperial court. Even if he handed over the secret method of longevity, they will not let him go.

  Even if he was lucky enough to escape the hunt of the human race, there are so many old and immortal people in the whole continent who are sharpening their knives, and he can’t escape.

   There is no need to worry about a dying Beamon.

  With this spare time, we might as well discuss the post-war matters first. For example: the future political structure of the empire! “

   Xiong Renhuang said carelessly.

  The Beamon clan suffered heavy losses, and the bear clan didn’t feel better either. The only consolation is that the disaster this time was caused by Emperor Beamon.

   It is impossible for the Orc Empire to liquidate the two royal families at the same time. Even if a power struggle breaks out, it will only target one of them.

   Xiong Renhuang chose to bring it up at this time, obviously to stir up fire and encourage everyone to point the finger at the Bimon Imperial Court.

   “Looking at the posture of the human race, most of them will initiate a liquidation against us in the future, and if we deal with it a little carelessly, we will suffer heavy losses.

   It’s too early to discuss the post-war issues, let’s discuss after the war is over!

  In order to avoid some unnecessary conflicts, it is best for everyone to appease the tribes under them first, and remove the unstable factors in advance, so as not to make jokes. “

  The words of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor changed everyone’s expressions. All previous wars have a common purpose – to consume excess population and cleanse unstable tribes.

  The situation this time is a bit special. Although the army they lead has completed the cleaning task, something happened on the Alpha battlefield.

  After the army was defeated, the human army only chased and killed the main force of the five royal families, and ignored the fleeing other races.

  Under the ebb and flow, those powerful races that survived the catastrophe became unstable factors.

  Then the offensive and defensive trend is reversed, and the human race’s key targets must be on them, and there is a high probability that they will pay heavy losses.

  If these strong fighting races with intact strength are not suppressed, it is likely to become a major hidden danger that threatens their rule after the war.

  Even if the strength of these races is weak, how about the neighbor of the Alpha Kingdom to help?

  The human race is good at playing politics. If there is an opportunity to stir up civil strife in the orc empire, they will definitely not let this opportunity go.

  …

  The orcs were worried, and Joseph II was even more worried. Now that the war has progressed, only the 10,000 people who follow him are left as the direct lineage of the royal family.

   Such an armed force can only be considered shabby in the hands of a big noble.

  The great nobles can rely on this armed force to survive, but it does not mean that the king can also. Everyone will not fight for the throne, but in the fight for the right to speak in the kingdom, it is impossible for everyone to give in.

  Especially when the news of the withdrawal of the orc army came, the internal fighting became more intense.

  Eastern nobles want to get back everything they had before, while western nobles want to share a bigger cake, and the two sides are arguing endlessly.

   There were even more than one fights broke out in private, and the casualties directly exceeded three digits, which made Joseph II furious.

   But he can’t do anything yet, and if he is a little careless, the western nobles will criticize him for being unfair.

   There are a lot of people complaining about “handling things unfairly”, but they dare to say so publicly in the court, which is rare in the entire continent of Aslante.

   “The orcs have just started to evacuate, so it’s not good for us to evacuate in such a hurry!”

   Joseph II said in embarrassment.

  In the western region, they belonged to others, and the eastern nobles were naturally not the opponents of these sitting tigers.

  Going back to your own territory is undoubtedly the best choice to save the situation. But the problem is that the eastern part of the kingdom is not the former prosperous eastern part.

  After being brutally ravaged by the orcs, it has now turned into a piece of white ground, it can be said that the ground is full of bones.

   This ghostly place is simply not suitable for human survival.

  Forcibly moving there, even if you have a strong heart and don’t taboo about these things, you still have to consider practical issues.

  The army plus the noble families and servants who evacuated early, eating and drinking for a group of hundreds of thousands of people is a big problem.

  The western nobles dare to be so arrogant now, not only to vent their grievances accumulated in the past, but also because of the short-mouthedness of these outsiders.

   “Your Majesty, I’m afraid this is beyond our control. The people in the west have too much appetite. We have promised to make concessions, but they still refuse to give up.

  Half of the Chaotang, plus one-fifth of the land of the Warhammer Great Plains, still can’t satisfy their appetite.

   If the compromise continues, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Warhammer will be their kingdom! “

   Prime Minister Gay arched the fire.

  If he had a choice, he would not be willing to jump out and fight against the nobles in the west, after all, they have the upper hand now.

  Even if they get back their foundation, it will not take a day or two to restore their strength. For a long time to come, the nobles in the west will have the upper hand.

   But the problem is that the contradictions accumulated in the past are too deep, especially after the last war, the matter of deliberately leaving the western nobles as cannon fodder completely ignited the contradictions between the two sides.

  It is easy to stir up disputes, but difficult to quell them. Once many things are on the bright side, it means that there is no compromise.

  Military ministers, foreign ministers and other important ministers of the kingdom were taken down one after another. If he, the prime minister, hadn’t been supported by the king, he would also have to resign and leave in despair.

  People’s reasons are too good. The situation in the kingdom has deteriorated to the present, and someone at the decision-making level must be responsible for it.

  The army has been defeated all the way, and the Ministry of Military Affairs is to blame. Just let the Minister of Military Affairs resign and leave, and not continue to pursue responsibility, it is all because everyone is aristocratic.

   Diplomatically vying for aid from the Alliance, they lost to the Kingdom of Alpha and the Principality of Moxi. Naturally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was incompetent.

  …

  The situation has deteriorated to the point where few high-level people in the kingdom can say that they are not responsible. Just lift the lid and everyone has to get out of their seats.

   Joseph II tried his best to protect the prime minister, not because he valued this capable general so much, but because he needed someone to attract firepower and prevent the spearhead from being directed at himself.

  If all the ministers go down, then the king is responsible for it. The operation method is very simple, just give up the throne to your son.

  As long as the king is willing to cooperate, everyone is a “loyal minister” of the kingdom and will never kill the king.

   “Shut up, you can’t talk nonsense like this!”

   Joseph II snapped.

   Now it’s just a struggle between the nobles between the two camps. The western nobles are only dissatisfied with him, but they haven’t reached the point where they want to change the king.

   If they stand with the eastern nobles again, it will be difficult to guarantee that the situation will not evolve to that point.

  But in order to maintain the political balance of the kingdom and ensure the stability of the royal power, he had to support the disadvantaged eastern nobles.

  The situation of the contradictory body caused Joseph II a particularly headache. It’s like dancing on two eggs. If you don’t pay attention, the eggs will break and you will be miserable.

  …

   There were no Beamon cavalry to make trouble, and a group of rioters led by a cult organization were naturally no match for the expeditionary army. Since the division of troops, the good news has never been interrupted.

  Catch three thousand here, five thousand there. Soon the main task of the expeditionary force was not to fight, but to guard the captured prisoners of war.

  With more and more captives, the pressure on Hudson is also increasing.

   As the war progressed until now, the population loss of the Alpha Kingdom was not small, especially in the fallen provinces in the north, where the population loss was even more severe.

  Especially now that the uninhabited provinces further north have been recovered, the noble lords who acquired these lands after the war have to worry about the population.

  Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. The dust has not yet settled, and the great nobles in the kingdom have already set off a war of robbery.

   A large number of prisoners of war in the hands of the expeditionary force soon came into everyone’s sight. Regardless of whether they have friendship or not, they have sent representatives over.

   Facing a group of important nobles, Hudson was also very helpless. Although there are many prisoners of war, they are not enough for everyone.

   What’s more, he himself has to get a share, and the younger brothers under his command also get a share, and the rest can be used for points.

   With the limited number of prisoners of war in hand, it becomes a test to give to whom and not to give to whom.

  If everyone shared it together, it wouldn’t offend anyone, but don’t expect anyone to think well of him.

  Everyone will just take it for granted, and even most people will complain about the lack of points. Because the result of fair distribution of the cake is often lower than their respective expectations.

  Hudson will not do such a thankless stupid thing. Instead of being complained by everyone, it is better to selectively offend a group of people.

   How to allocate the cake in his hand, Hudson has no idea.

  Who is friend and who is foe?

  This question, now he can’t tell the difference at all. This is the biggest disadvantage of getting up from below, and it is impossible to accurately position yourself immediately.

   It involves deep-seated interests, and many things cannot be seen on the surface. Being friendly does not mean being a friend, and having a bad attitude is not necessarily an enemy.

  There are too many things to consider behind this. To determine whether a big noble is an enemy or a friend, not only the relationship between the two parties must be considered, but also the marriage behind them, their respective circles, and the location of the fiefdom…

   Hudson would not dare to leave this kind of matter involving the future. We can only sort out and screen one by one with the limited information in hand.

  The “enemy” is selected and put aside, and the potential competitors are selected and put aside. These are the first things to be eliminated.

   No matter whose face it is, you can’t do things for the enemy.

  Nobles with unknown positions and neutral camps, these are the objects that can be won, and that is another kind of treatment.

   As for the allies, this is very regrettable. The Koslow family has not yet become an ally with any big noble, but has several enemies.

   Not to mention making friends, there are only a handful of great nobles who have made friends with each other.

   People who are not from one world, forcibly joining a circle, are not people from all the way.

  Hudson is very embarrassed, rising too fast, there is no time to build a network of contacts.

  Even if there is a network of connections, it is still in the Principality of Moxi. Everyone has no conflict of core interests, so you can make friends with confidence and boldness.

  When mixing in the middle and lower aristocratic circles, there is also the Koslow family’s network of connections, and Hudson’s mixing is also very popular.

  In Hudson’s current position, when he needs to face the nobles of the whole country, the family’s connections can’t keep up.
