Chapter 1149 - 1149 179 Sudden Change in the Orc Empire_2

1149: Chapter 179: Sudden Change in the Orc Empire_2 1149: Chapter 179: Sudden Change in the Orc Empire_2 Now it’s just infighting, but if it escalates to civil war, no one can guarantee that the Alliance of Seven Clans won’t collude with the Alpha Kingdom to deliver a vicious blow.

But the rebellion cannot go unquashed.

If we cannot suppress the Seven Clans with swift and decisive action, it will surely stimulate the ambitions of all Species.

Right now, the Alliance is demanding the Royal Family’s position from us; who knows, in the future, all Species might band together to demand equality.

If “equality among Species” were truly achieved, unable to leech off the others for their own gain, what purpose would the Royal Family serve?

Relying solely on their own production, the Four Royal Families do not have the capacity to maintain their current military forces, and they may not even be able to feed their own people.

Especially in the winter, other than the Royal Family, many people from all Species will die from the cold or starvation.

If a major disaster strikes, the scene becomes even more tragic.

“The fear is that we have already let the wolf into the house!

From the intelligence we’ve gathered, ever since the Bimon Tribe arrived at the front lines, they have never actually clashed with the Alpha Kingdom.

The so-called military conflicts were all acts they staged themselves.

In the previous skirmishes, much of the Alliance’s military hardware was standard issue from the Alpha Kingdom Army.

If they aren’t connected, then how did they get these things?

You all know what those smugglers are like—all raised by the Aristocrats of the Alpha Kingdom.

Without their masters’ tacit approval, who would dare to smuggle military hardware on such a large scale!”

The Lionman King said irritably.

Two of the Alliance’s Species reside within the Lionman race’s sphere of influence, with another clan living right beside them.

After the onset of hostilities, the Lionman race tragically became the sacrificial lamb, getting ganged up on by the Three Great Imperial Clans.

Their losses far exceeded those of the other Royal Families, and they could hardly have withstood it without their formidable strength.

The example set by the Bimon Clan was still fresh, and the Lionman King dared not take it lightly.

If the Alliance of Seven Clans caught them off guard and delivered a severe beating, regardless of the final outcome, the Lionman race would be the biggest loser.

Deep down, the Lionman King was already inclined toward compromise.

Having more people to share the cake was always better than flipping the table and leaving everyone with nothing.

“If they are already in cahoots, then our only choice is to seek help from the Alien Coalition.

But that’s too remote to quench the immediate thirst.

Everyone knows how fast the Alpha Kingdom can mobilize; the elves are no match for them.

By the time they are ready to intervene, the fighting might already be over.

Beset with troubles both inside and out, even if we win, the Empire will be greatly weakened.

Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario.

Under normal circumstances, even if the two sides are colluding, it will be difficult for them to trust each other.

The Alpha People will certainly require the Alliance to show sincerity; they won’t send troops without a River of Blood being spilled.

The Alliance also worries that the Alpha People may not keep their word.

After the great battle, if Hudson takes advantage of the situation and annihilates them too, there will be nowhere to file a complaint.

We can completely take a two-pronged approach, seeking assistance from the Alliance to restrain the Alpha Kingdom from the rear, and at the same time, urgently work to sow discord within the Alliance.

For example, we can offer the Royal Family’s position, but it can’t be all seven thrones.

As long as there is internal strife within the Alliance, given Hudson’s caution, he won’t send troops.”

Marshal Daniel began his analysis.

Although he had suffered losses under Hudson’s command during the Continental War, which led to a decline in his status in the Empire, many had lost to Hudson, and at least Daniel had preserved his main force.

A stain that everyone shares is no longer a stain.

With his comrades’ support, Marshal Daniel remained the premier figure of the Orc Empire Army.

Now, during the wartime, the military’s status has risen, granting him the privilege to speak directly with the Emperors.

“It won’t be easy to incite discord; we have already offered a Royal Family’s position, yet they were still able to form an Alliance.

Clearly, they’ve seen through our plans.

To cause the Alliance to collapse, we would have to beat them severely first and then lure them with the offer of several Royal positions.

This game is no fun.

If we can’t suppress them, and the Empire ends up governed by Eleven Royal Clans, the prospect is unimaginable!”

The Bearman Emperor said, filled with apprehension.

The Four Royal Families are unable to truly cooperate.

If it turns into Eleven Royal Families, there would be no need to do anything else—arguing would become a daily affair.

The most critical issue is still the division of territories.

Originally, the Five Royal Clans each occupied a region, overseeing the Orc tribes in those areas.

Should six more claimants to the cake arise, the land will be split into eleven parts.

The offerings each receive annually would undoubtedly plummet.

For the regular Orc tribes, this would be a disaster.

Supporting so many Royal Clans, could they still live their lives?

“Bear Emperor, I think Daniel’s suggestion is good.

First, we should divide the Alliance and then decide on subsequent actions as the situation evolves.

The promises we make now are only promises; whether we fulfill them depends on our strength.

As long as the Alliance isn’t too cohesive, we can take a heavy-handed approach and wipe out one or two of their Species.

If making an example is successful, other Species will naturally know which side to choose.

Then we can mobilize everyone to besiege them.

If handled properly, we can even drive them to become Cannon fodder, leading the invasion into the Alpha Kingdom.”

The Lionman King immediately expressed his stance.

No matter what, the Alliance must be suppressed, or else the Lionman race won’t be able to get by.
