On the prairie, Hudson also learned about the drama that had occurred at the Alliance Council.

It was not surprising that representatives from the Northern Continent had exploded; they were simply being bullied too much.

Previously, when they had sought aid, the Alliance Council had flatly refused to convene.

Everyone had pent-up anger with no outlet.

Now, as one by one their countries were destroyed and their previous concerns vanished, they could vent their emotions freely.

After all, as councilors, they had the right to speak without responsibility—a core interest that all councilors jointly upheld and would not allow to be shaken.

Their countries were gone, and if they could not restore their nations, their careers as councilors would also come to an end.

If they did not vent their emotions now, they would never have the chance again.

The representatives from the Alpha Kingdom, stationed at the Alliance, were also berated until their faces were red with shame by the representatives of the Prairie Seven Kingdoms, causing them to cover their faces in humiliation and walk away.

These were minor issues; for politicians, being scolded was hardly a serious matter.

The drama was trivial, but the issues it reflected behind the scenes were the main concern for Hudson.

As the commander of the army, international politics was also a compulsory subject for him.

If the representatives of the Northern Continent were acting recklessly, then the representatives of the Central Continent joining in the frenzy indicated that the situation had truly reached a stage near impossible to manage.

Not being driven to a desperate situation, the proud noble bureaucrats usually would not lay all their cards on the table.

“The Continental United Army is about to be born!”

Arriving at this conclusion, Hudson’s lips curled into a slight smile.

For the Kingdom of Alpha, this was undoubtedly good news.

The Continent of Aslante was a chess game, and the battles on the prairie were just one corner of the chessboard.

To win the war, he still needed to consider the whole situation.

The situation in the Central Continent was undoubtedly the key factor in determining the advantage in the continental war.

Whoever won the upcoming battle in the Central Continent would win this continental war.

In this respect, Hudson had great confidence in the Human Race.

The Human Alliance might be fragmented, but it was still a single species; the Alien Coalition couldn’t even be considered fragmented, but rather a miscellany filled with soil, sand, stones, and sawdust.

Once both sides organized their allied forces, the war would degenerate from a peak clash to a “competition of incompetence.”

The more participants involved, the more chaotic the command structure would become.

What the end result would look like, no one could say.

Because of internal conflict, even if one side achieved victory, it would be difficult to expand the victory and maximize the alliance’s interests.

What everyone would do was simply maximize their own interests.

Each one was plotting for themselves, and Hudson greatly doubted that the Human Alliance would still exist as an “organized entity” after defeating the different races.

The future was not worth considering for now.

The emergence of the Continental United Army would undoubtedly support various battlefields.

As one of the main battlefields of the continental war, the prairie battlefield was also one of the battlefields supported by the allied forces.

The Alpha Kingdom didn’t even need to concern itself; the Prairie Seven Kingdoms would vie for it on their own.

Only by thoroughly defeating the Orc Empire could they re-establish their nations.

The power behind the elites from the Prairie Seven Kingdoms was also trapped now.

If they could not restore their nations after such massive early investments, their investments would only yield a bunch of hollow titles.

“King,” “Grand Duke,” “Duke,” “Marquis”…

Each title carried significant weight, unfortunately only with a prefix.

The deceased King of a Kingdom, the deceased Grand Duke of a Grand Duchy, the deceased…

Not wanting their investments to be in vain, they could only continue to invest.

Even if they could not send troops to the prairie battlefield in the short term, they had to provide some material support to the Alpha Kingdom.

“Marshal, eighty miles ahead, we’ve discovered traces of the enemy’s main force.

There are Bimon Cavalry, Lionman Cavalry, and Wolf Cavalry, totaling tens of thousands.

Based on initial assessments, this appears to be a reinforcing force dispatched by the Orcs.”

Right after Tom finished speaking, Hudson did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately ordered, “Send out the orders; let all units disrupt the battlefield.

However, directly turn around, avoiding the enemy force ahead; let’s go find the bad luck of the Orc tribes in the east!”

A decisive battle was impossible here—after all, this was Orc territory.

With neither the timing, geographical advantage, nor harmony of people in their favor, not to mention unclear enemy strength, only a fool would engage in a decisive battle.

With that effort, it was better to destroy a few more Orc tribes to weaken the enemy’s war potential.

“Yes, Marshal!”

…

Soon after the Expeditionary Army departed, the fast-advancing Orc Army also arrived at the battlefield.

Looking at the still unburned tent fodder, Duke Daniel helplessly said, “We’re late again!”

They had just crossed paths with the Expedition Army Corp.

This wasn’t the first time.

In order to locate this deep-penetrating enemy in the prairie, the Orc tribes had learned to use smoke signals.

This efficient method of communication was clearly visible for dozens of miles and was much more convenient and faster than traditional methods.

Unfortunately, despite the updated communication methods, they still couldn’t firmly engage the enemy armies.

It was difficult since the probability of the two armies actually meeting face-to-face on the vast prairie was extremely low.

Especially since the enemy kept deliberately avoiding them.

Even trying to track them by their horseshoes was futile; often, after a prolonged chase, the enemy would disappear, leaving behind only a group of war horses running freely.

Once again, they found traces of the enemy a few hundred miles away.

By the time he led his troops there, the enemy had suddenly appeared hundreds of miles away again.

“Marshal, the blood on the ground has not dried, the battle must have just ended.

The enemy can’t have gone far, we should chase now…”

Before the young military officer could finish, the bodies on the ground suddenly started to move.

Without any hesitation, Daniel coldly ordered, “Kill!”

A newly-formed Undead army was the easiest to defeat.

If they waited until these creatures grew stronger, they would pose a significant threat to the Orc tribes.

Historically, the Orc Prairie had experienced an Undead calamity, with overwhelming amounts of Undead creatures sweeping across much of the prairie.

Ultimately, it was only through the combined efforts of the Five Royal Clans, using their most secret techniques, that the Undead army was extinguished.

Such a terrifying outbreak of Undead had initially started from a small tribe decimated by plague and for some unknown reason, transformed into Undead creatures.

Initially, no one cared much; it was normal for a few Undead to appear in such a vast prairie.

However, coincidentally, a King arose among these Undead creatures and under his command, the Undead Legion rapidly grew like a snowball rolling downhill.

By the time the Orc Empire realized something was amiss and began to take it seriously, they had already missed the optimal time to extinguish it.

Although they eventually managed to quell the outbreak of Undead, they also missed the best opportunity to move southward, allowing the Kingdom of Alpha to secure its position.

Since then, the Orc Empire had learned its lesson; they eradicated Undead creatures immediately, especially groups of them, leaving none behind.

The battle proceeded very smoothly.

Faced with the elite Orc Cavalry, the newly-formed Undead creatures struggled to put up an effective resistance and were annihilated within an hour.

After wiping his Treasure Sword that had been tainted by the essence of the Undead, Duke Daniel with a grave expression asked, “How many times have we encountered Undead creatures now?”

“Reporting to the Marshal, this is the seventh time.

Every tribe that has been slaughtered by the enemy has had a large number of Undead creatures appear.”

The middle-aged general hurriedly responded.

It was indeed frustrating; returning from the frontline without finding the enemy, but instead fighting against Undead creatures seven times.

They obviously won, but fighting the Undead gave no sense of achievement.

“Seventh time!”

“It seems Hudson is really ruthless, being able to transform such a massive scale of Undead.

He must have brought all the Necromancers of the Kingdom of Alpha with him.

I just wonder what the Dawn Sect will think of this news.

It seems the title of the heresy headquarters of the Kingdom of Alpha is well deserved!”

During the conversation, a sharp light flashed in Daniel’s eyes.

In that brief moment, he had decided to help propagate the news for the Kingdom of Alpha.

Even if it couldn’t incite a civil war among the Human Race, it would surely make the relationship between the Clergy and the Kingdom of Alpha increasingly tense.

With one diminished in strength, the Kingdom of Alpha seeking help from the Human Alliance would undoubtedly face increased difficulty.
