Chapter 589 - 589 137 Blank Check_3

589: Chapter 137, Blank Check_3 589: Chapter 137, Blank Check_3 The Bearman Emperor said with annoyance.

Any strategy requires a cost.

Regular Orc tribes can be abandoned, but we can’t abandon our own people.

Among the Five Royal Clans, the Bimon Tribe experienced the least pressure in their tribal migration.

Because of their sparse population, they were the first to evacuate.

Next are the Hawkman Tribe.

Although they have quite a lot of belongings, they can’t fly away.

They don’t have a large population, so they have almost finished the migration.

The remaining three clans are in a tragic situation, with organizing large-scale migrations of millions of people being no mean task.

Even if the evacuation started half a year ago, the number of tribes that have completely evacuated to date is still less than half the total population.

According to the current speed of evacuation, they need at least another year of struggle.

No more speedup is allowed.

The loss of long journeys is already significant.

If the speed is further increased, most of the cubs in the tribes probably won’t be able to reach the destination.

But the Allied Human Army is coming fiercely, and the tribes along the way are helpless.

There’s simply no way to buy them enough time.

“We have already destroyed the Moonwind Port, temporarily cutting off the enemy’s thoughts of grain transportation by sea, which should delay their advance.

But it’s hard to say.

With the strength of the Human Race, if they gather a group of high-level mages, it’s not difficult to repair the port.

Without engaging in battle with the enemy, there are only two ways to delay the enemy’s march:

Either organize troops to continuously assault their army, which directly delays their marching speed.

Or arrange for personnel to penetrate behind the enemy and sabotage, obstructing their grain transportation.”

Alex slowly said.

The Bimon Tribe has completed the evacuation, but now the Orc Empire needs to stick together.

Without the support of their allies, they can’t resist the onslaught of the Human Alliance.

“Bimon Emperor, aren’t both of these plans being implemented?”

The Bearman Emperor said unhappily.

Indeed, both have been executed, but the effects are not very good.

Whether it’s due to lack of experience or insufficient strength, the teams sent out for sabotage never return.

Sending people to attack the army always ends up being bitten by the enemy, only able to bully weaker teams of the allied forces.

Ambushing the grain is even worse.

Most teams can’t even find the grain convoys before they are discovered by the enemy in the sky and surrounded by allied troops.

Very few teams have completed the infiltration work.

The tragedy is that the enemy’s grain transportation route isn’t fixed.

Often they ambush for many days without seeing a trace of the enemy.

The problem of insufficient intelligence has caused the Orc Army to be restrained after losing air superiority.

“Don’t look at me like that.

Our Hawkman Tribe has done our best.

The arrangement to protect our heads is already the limit.

We don’t have the strength to penetrate deep into the enemy’s rear.

The enemy is the dominate force on the continent.

If our Hawkman Tribe alone could suppress their air power, how could the Human Race dominate the continent?”

The Hawkman Emperor glared back without hesitation.

There’s no shame in it.

They can’t beat the Human Race in the air; the other four clans can’t beat the Human Race on the ground.

They’re all losers.

No one can laugh at the others.

“My point is not to launch sneak attacks on the grasslands, but to dispatch small teams to infiltrate the Alpha Kingdom for sneak attacks.

Everyone has noticed that the enemy is guarding the grain route tightly.

There is no opportunity to take advantage of the situation and even if there is, it won’t make much difference to the overall situation.

The real weakness of the enemy is their rear.

The Army of the Alpha Kingdom is all on the front line, and the grain transport team at home has almost no defense force.

As long as our people infiltrate, even a few dozens of elite soldiers can destroy a grain transport team!

The only problem is that it comes with high risk.

Trying to sabotage deep in the enemy’s heartland, each small team can’t have too many people.

Everything depends on their own efforts, and they must not be caught by the enemy!”

Alex explained slowly.

Frankly, this is not a good choice.

Sending teams behind the enemy lines now is basically a one-way trip.

However, for the current Orc Empire, sending suicide teams to infiltrate the Alpha Kingdom and cause trouble is their only choice.

Regardless of whether the dispatched team can come back or not, any disturbance in the rear can affect the enemy’s logistics supply.

“This is difficult!

The enemy has hoarded a lot of grain along the way, sending people to disrupt it would only affect the front line a few months later at the earliest.

We still have to find a way to entangle with the Alliance in the short term.

Unless we can organize a sneak attack and disrupt the enemy’s grain transit station on the grassland.

However, this is almost impossible.

According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, currently, Earl Hudson is in charge of the enemy’s grain transportation.

We are all familiar with this individual.

His military strategies are cunning and deceitful, exploiting his tricks would not be easy!”

Said the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor with worry.

How could they not be familiar with it?

Mentioning Hudson, the Bimon Emperor and the Bearman Emperor were on the verge of exploding on the spot.

The other emperors also had grim expressions, seemingly wishing to tear Hudson apart alive.

“No matter how hard it is, we have to try!

If the plan fails, we will only be able to summon a large army and fight the enemy decisively, delaying time through large-scale battles.

Regardless of the outcome of the battle, we will suffer greatly.

We can’t outlast the human race in consumption, even if we eliminate all the enemy forces on the grasslands, more will come.

The final strategy is to retreat all the way and lengthen their battle lines until the Human Alliance realizes that continuing this war would result in a loss!”

…

At the Jade Palace, news of the army occupying Moonwind Port and the destruction of the port reached the Kingdom together.

Accompanying the bad news was the letter of apology from the frontline generals and a solution proposed by Hudson.

In summary, it was to seek assistance from the Human Alliance and organize high-order mages to come and repair the port.

It is indeed a bit difficult for the high and mighty mages to play the role of laborers in repairing the port, but it is the most effective measure at the moment.

The enemy has destroyed the shipping route, and if ordinary people were to build it, it would take an unknown amount of time to complete.

However, if a group of high-order mages were to do it, even without a suitable shipping route, they could create one with magic.

In the interest of the human race, it seems that convincing everyone to do manual labor could actually be achieved.

“Francis, the matter of seeking mage assistance from the Alliance is left to your Department of Foreign Affairs.

The speed must be quick, given their efficiency, without procrastinating for a few months, the reinforcements would not reach the frontline!”

said Caesar III, unable to restrain his cynicism.

It’s a common trait, any alliance formed by multiple forces cannot be very efficient.

“Your Majesty, seeking help from mages alone is not enough.

Ever since the interest rate was lowered, our sales of bonds have been hindered.

Looking at the current state of the war, it cannot end in a short period.

With our fund reserves, we simply cannot hold out till the end of the war.”

Expressed the distressed Marquis Delgado, the Minister of Finance.

On one hand, the resources are insufficient, on the other hand, the interest is exorbitant, he’s really helpless.

Borrowing money is pleasing for a while, but repaying it is like being on a funeral pyre.

As Minister of Finance, Marquis Delgado spends every day thinking about borrowing and repaying money.

“What’s the current bond interest rate?”

Caesar III asked with concern.

Earlier, the bond sales were booming, causing a frenzy as soon as they were launched.

Over 30 million in war bonds were sold out in just a few days.

After all, when the Alpha Kingdom issued the bonds, it was during the Human Race’s counterattack.

The market was full of confidence, with no concerns about defaults.

Ten percent risk-free bonds are attractive to major nobles, naturally they wouldn’t mind moving some money around.

“Four percent!”

Marquis Delgado confirmed as a matter of fact.

Lowering the interest rate was a last resort.

Previously, annual interest alone was over 3 million gold coins.

Continuing to maintain such high interest rates would likely result in the Alpha Kingdom being crushed by debt after the war.

Neighboring Moxi Duchy is an example, even with all the domestic nobles sharing the burden, it still puts financial strain on the nation.

“The Department of Foreign Affairs will give it a try.

If the Alliance refuses to lend money, let them help us sell war bonds.

Title their difficulties, when necessary, exaggerate our economic losses.

We have to make them believe that the kingdom’s finances have been exhausted.

Without new capital injection, we will be unable to continue this war.

Tell the major forces in the Alliance that after defeating the Orc Empire, we don’t want even an inch of the land kingdom, and all of it will be their spoils of war!”

Caesar III painted the vision with great enthusiasm.
