Chapter 931 - 931 103 Supreme Military Strategy _2

931: Chapter 103: Supreme Military Strategy _2 931: Chapter 103: Supreme Military Strategy _2 Azavedo XVII said viciously.

To surrender as a race meant utter defeat.

Most likely, they would become cannon fodder, a sharp weapon in the hands of the Human Race to attack various targets.

After being expended in a few battles and having their resources thoroughly depleted, they would have no choice but to rely on the Human Race for survival.

This situation was only slightly better than annihilation; given the choice, no one would opt for this.

However, once it happened, the consequences were very serious.

The net result of the increase and decrease in strength would be an imbalance of power between the Human Race and the Alien Coalition, and the war in South Continent could very well end in a short time.

The triumphant nations, even if only one-tenth of their forces were dispatched to reinforce their allies, could change the situation in Central Continent.

If the wars in both places ended with the Human Race victorious, it would be pointless no matter how well the Northern Continent fought.

Especially since the current war trend in the Northern Continent was not as smooth as the Alien Coalition had expected.

…

Underneath the Mother Tree, the three Elf Queens gathered with furrowed brows.

“Elder sister, these detestable Half-Orcs are far too arrogant.

To actually dare threaten us with surrender…

it’s simply…”

Perhaps truly infuriated, the Prairie Elf Queen found herself at a loss for words momentarily.

Threatening an ally with surrender was an unprecedented curiosity in Continental warfare.

It was indeed very embarrassing to speak of, but it was effective!

Once the Half-Orcs surrendered, it would be a stimulus for the entire Continental battlefield.

If other Species couldn’t bear the casualties and followed suit, it would be a complete disaster.

Considering the current situation on the Continent as a whole, if all the Different Races fought with all their might, the Human Race did not have a guaranteed victory.

If the Different Races were willing to surrender, the countries of the Human Race would surely accept.

Compared to military means, political maneuvers were the strength of the Human Race.

Given the choice, Human Race nobles also did not want to fight to the death.

But this put the Elf Race in an awkward position.

If other Different Races surrendered to the Human Race, what should they do?

To follow suit in surrendering was unbearable; to persist alone seemed too risky.

If used by the Human Race as an example to warn others, it would truly be tragic.

The situation was ten times worse than their worst predictions.

“Younger sister, there’s no need to be angry.

The more critical the situation, the more we need to stabilize our position.

Azavedo XVII must be desperate to have spoken so recklessly; it doesn’t mean he really wants to surrender to the Human Race.

As long as there is a sliver of hope, they will choose to persist.

It seems the situation in the Half-Orc Kingdom is worse than what we understood.

The support we originally offered is no longer enough to stabilize the situation.

We should take military action in advance!

Let’s first annihilate Canterloo, Ustad, and Fick to set an example for our allies.

At the same time, send the Mage Corps to the Half-Orc Kingdom to stabilize their situation.”

As she spoke, the heart of the Forest Elf Queen seemed to bleed.

It’s easy to join a war, but hard to end one.

Due to their close proximity to the Elf Race, the development of the three Grand Duchies of Canterloo, Ustad, and Fick had never been smooth, especially their slow military strength growth.

The proportion of their population to the number of powerful individuals was severely disproportionate, and the mortality rate of their talented offspring was astonishingly high.

For the Elf Race, there was no pressure in dealing with such adversaries.

The only concern was how much it would cost.

“Elder sister, after we annihilate the three countries, shall we act together with the Ancient Heritage Alliance’s army?”

The Night Elf Queen couldn’t help but suggest.

“Younger sister, we must consider this matter carefully.

Combining our forces would only bring more internal conflicts and contradictions, which would actually hinder our effectiveness.”

The Forest Elf Queen shook her head.

It was not that she was unwilling to act with their allies, but considering how outstandingly the elf race stood out in appearance, agreeing with the aesthetic preferences of most Species,

Past experiences taught them that combined actions almost always led to some getting distracted by desires, which was detrimental to unity.

The elves, not being a Species to remain silent in the face of grievances, would only escalate the situation and not suppress it.

If past events were to repeat, they might end up fighting amongst themselves before dealing any significant damage to the enemy.

…

The changes in the international situation directly affected the Moxi Battlefield.

The Elf Race’s participation in the war directly stimulated both the Ancient Remnant Clan Alliance and the Orc Empire.

Now, everyone shared the same view that the Northern Continent’s battlefield was stabilizing.

No matter how the countries of the Northern Continent struggled, they were also powerless to fight against the three Major Alien Races joining forces.

Without any hesitation, the Orcs and the Ancient Remnant Clan Alliance simultaneously decided—to increase their offensive.

They simply could not drag on any longer.

If they continued to stall, they would have no part in the distribution of the spoils in the future.

When it came to interests, allies weren’t reliable, especially for the Ancient Heritage Alliance, which was already close to the Elf Race and thus felt an even greater sting.

Everyone knew that in the Ancient Era, the Elf Race had suffered from supporting vassal races that grew too powerful.

After expelling the Human Race from the Northern Continent, even if there was more land than they could use, they would never again relinquish it to another Intelligent Race, not even for Magical Beasts to live on.

If they wanted to secure enough living space for their own Species, the only choice was to swiftly seize territory.

Since the Ancient Heritage Alliance was made up of many Species, even if they got a large piece of the cake, it would seem smaller once divided among each Species.

Since they wouldn’t threaten the Elf Race, they needn’t worry about arousing fear.

With the Human Race as the significant enemy, the alliance with allies could last many years.
