Chapter 541 - 541 109 Spectators_1

541: Chapter 109, Spectators_1 541: Chapter 109, Spectators_1 The situation is at a stalemate, and the Northern Expedition Army is the first to suffer.

Perhaps in order to put pressure on the Alpha Kingdom, the Orcs have stepped up their offensive.

Innumerable cannon fodder races are continuously sent to the battlefield, as if to grind the Northern Expedition Army to death.

“Everyone, rest assured, the Orcs are at their wit’s end.

Speed is of the essence in battle, our reinforcements are on their way, the longer the delay, the more advantageous it is for us.

In the past, they would have sent their main force to fight us, there’s no way they’d be dawdling like this!”

Marshal Campbell tried to boost morale.

If reinforcements really are on their way, this slow-paced war of attrition is clearly not a desirable strategy.

Unfortunately, all the nobles present knew better and weren’t easily fooled.

Although they and the army were trapped here, that didn’t mean they had completely lost contact with the homeland.

The Alliance’s reinforcements were slow to arrive, and the reinforcements organized by the Kingdom were limited in strength and couldn’t relieve them.

At this crucial moment, those most panicked were not the nobles of the North, but rather the nobles of the Central and Southern parts of the kingdom.

Because of their position on the border, they need to worry about the Orcs returning and attacking their home bases.

The northern nobles still left some of their elites at home.

Those who really went all out to profit from this situation were, in fact, mostly the central and southern nobles.

After all, it seemed like a sure win at first, no one expected things to go wrong.

If everyone ends up suffering heavy losses, the northern nobles who have lost heavily in the war may be able to make a comeback and take advantage in the upcoming domestic competition.

The only exception was Duke Pias.

Ever since he received news of Hudson’s arrival in the North, his heart has not been at ease.

The two families were mortal enemies, and judging from the information he gathered, he knew that Hudson was not the kind to return good for evil.

If there was a chance to strike, he would definitely not be soft on the Rocknard Family.

Thankfully, the Orc army is too busy to invade the Alpha Kingdom at the moment, otherwise, if the highest commander of the Northern Border Defense became an enemy, the Rocknard family would be doomed.

“Marshal, waiting like this is not a solution.

It will still take some time for the Human Alliance’s reinforcements to arrive, why not prompt the Kingdom’s reinforcements first.

We don’t expect them to relieve us, as long as they appear near the Orc Army, it will divert the enemy’s forces and alleviate our military pressure!”

This is a typically bad idea, but for the sake of his own interests, he had to go through with it.

Only by diverting Hudson can he ensure the safety of his own home base, saving him from the constant worry of being betrayed.

“Duke Pias, the situation of the Kingdom’s reinforcements is very complicated, except for a few corps under Earl Hudson with some combat power, the rest are all newly edited armies.

You all have your own information channels and must have heard about it.

On their march, these newly edited armies caused a lot of trouble.

To say they are the disgrace of the Kingdom’s Army, relying on them for rescue…”

Marshal Campbell decisively vetoed.

The Northern Expedition Army is already in danger.

If the entire army unfortunately perished, the military strength of the Alpha Kingdom would plummet.

Under these circumstances, if the last preserve of reinforcements is also lost, how can we go on in the future?

As a member of the Royal Family, the first thing he needs to consider is the interests of the Kingdom.

He hardly cares about the grudges between the nobles.

The Five Great Dukes of the North should in theory be supporting each other at this time.

The reality, however, was that several of them were meditatively silent, as if they had heard nothing.

All is about interests.

The Rocknard family, who has a deep hatred with Koslow, could sell their favor to others, but if they want to directly involve in the conflict, they need to negotiate terms.

There are no walls without chinks, and no one dares to guarantee that today’s conversation won’t reach Hudson’s ears.

If they upset him, and he deliberately sets traps during military deployment, it would be a tragedy if they got screwed over.

There’s no way around it, similar things have happened countless times in the past years among the Five Great Families, they really dare not test Hudson’s moral integrity.

This is the deterrent power of the “Halo of the Famous General”.

If it were a military incompetent, they wouldn’t have such worries.

“Backstabbing your teammates” is also a skill, especially when it’s justified backstabbing that can’t be faulted, which is a test of micro operation skills.

Due to their fear of Hudson, they would rather help the Rocknard Family secretly than jump directly into the mix.

Duke Cavadia had the deepest feelings about this.

His capable illegitimate son was messed around by Hudson when he was in the Southeastern Province.

Even though West had gained the position of Prefectural Governor and won the support of the Northern Nobles, he initially held the upper hand in the military, but in the end, he had to withdraw in shame.

What made Duke Cavadia apprehensive was not only Hudson’s military command ability, but also his strategic deployment ability and his ability to undermine others.

Without making a sound, he just tripped West and in the end, he did not even have the ability to resist and struggle and could only cut his losses in time.

Even the groundwork prepared by him for his own son was finally taken advantage of by Hudson.

If he was not pushing behind the scenes, how could so many young and promising men go to the Southeastern Province?

Having suffered such a big loss, Duke Cavadia naturally wouldn’t swallow his anger.

It was just because of his fear of Hudson that he refrained from taking action for so long.
