The Moxi Duchy, as Hudson’s place of renown, had an influence for him that was even greater than in the Alpha Kingdom itself.

As an Undefeated General, no matter the size of the victory, as long as it was attributed to him, everyone would accept it.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, after this battle, the duchy’s strategic passiveness will be completely reversed.

Perhaps it won’t be long before we could receive news that Marshal Hudson has set out to attack the Eastern War Hammer Kingdom,”

Chancellor Helcheg said excitedly.

Originally, everyone was prepared for a two-front war; nobody expected that with just one move from Hudson, he would handle one enemy force.

Despite the Ancient Remnant Allied Army at Augustusburg still numbering in the hundreds of thousands, last night’s battle fundamentally changed the strength comparison between the two sides.

War is about the morale of the military; before the reinforcements arrived, the Moxi Duchy’s military spirit was scattered due to the impact of the defeated soldiers, and their combat effectiveness, which was normally very strong, could only be utilized to a fraction of its potential.

Now the situation has reversed, giving the Ancient Heritage Alliance a headache.

With their military spirit and morale dampened, and their forces dispersed across various locations suppressing rebellious armed groups, this clear opportunity for battle was apparent even to them; there was no reason the front-line commanders couldn’t see it.

Once the counterattack war began, the battlefield shifted from the Moxi Duchy to the Eastern War Hammer Kingdom.

The northern provinces gained a respite, and the country’s war potential would be preserved to the greatest extent.

If the counter-offensive goes smoothly, it might even affect the front line of the Orton Duchy, forcing the enemy to divert forces to support their lines, making subsequent warfare easier.

“Now is not the time for celebration.

The number of reinforcements sent by the Alpha Kingdom this time is small.

In name, it’s the Hundred Thousand Army, but in reality, it’s only thirty-five thousand.

Although they are all Elite Cavalry, such a small force can only engage in encounter battles in the field.

If it weren’t for desperation, Marshal Hudson would have not taken prisoners.

It’s known that during the last Orc invasion, he didn’t take a single prisoner,”

George shook his head and said.

In fact, he was overthinking it.

During the last Orc invasion, Hudson didn’t take any prisoners, because there were none to take.

The Alpha Kingdom and Orcs shared a deep-seated enmity; their people, upon seeing an orc, would rather devour them alive, and keeping prisoners meant going against one’s own soldiers.

With the Kingdom’s higher-ups taking a clear stance and directly ordering the taking of no prisoners, Hudson naturally would not contravene military orders over a bunch of Orcs.

Toward the end of the war, in order to split the Orc Empire, Hudson intentionally spared the vassal races in his attacks, focusing instead on brutally targeting the Five Royal Clans.

If it were not for the Human Alliance’s intervention later, when Hudson was sent off to handle logistics and thus losing the lead in the war, perhaps the Orc Empire would have already shattered.

The current situation is the same; it seems like Hudson is fighting a military fight, but in actuality, he is tackling political battles as well.

It’s just that this way of playing the game does not conform to the mainstream of the Continent of Aslante, and there are no existing cases to reference; everyone failed to understand for a while.

“Your Majesty is right.

If the Ancient Remnant Allied Army were our only enemy, we would indeed have a great chance of winning the coming wars.

But apart from this enemy, there is also the Elf Race, which has just joined the war.

The three large duchies of Canterloo, Ustad, and Fick have long been suppressed by the Elf Race and have limited military strength; they simply cannot hold out for long.

Once the three countries fall, it is highly possible that the Elf Army would meet with the Orton Duchy and the Ancient Remnant Allied Forces; that would be the real test of life and death for the duchy!”

Count Reynato said, pouring cold water on the situation.

In order to stabilize the Elf Race, not only the Alpha Kingdom was making efforts; the Moxi Duchy was actually doing even more.

However beautiful the ideas were, the reality was brutally harsh.

When it came to racial strategic security, it was not something that could be fooled with diplomatic measures.

“The threat of the Elf Race is indeed a major issue, but now we need to first solve the Ancient Heritage Alliance.

Count Martins, you will represent the duchy and travel personally to the front line at Augustusburg to inquire about Marshal Hudson’s next strategic deployment and comfort the troops.

Whatever the front needs, the duchy will do its utmost to cooperate.

If we can severely damage the Ancient Heritage Alliance before the Elf Army arrives, then we have something to discuss.”

George said, feeling totally at a loss.

Victory brought joy, but the deteriorating international situation still left him feeling uneasy.

At one point, he even considered sending Hudson with the reinforcements to the south to deal with the Ancient tribes’ army from the Orton front first to prevent the Elf Army from coming over without resistance.

Fortunately, reason ultimately prevailed.

The reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom were not under his command; if he gave an order and they didn’t comply, that would be embarrassing.

The process might differ, but the ultimate goal was surprisingly unanimous—to deceive the Elf Army away.

In his heart, George was even prepared to propose after the continent-wide war had ended, advocating within the Human Alliance to implement strategic strikes against the Elf Race.

As the dominant power on the Continent, the Human Race could easily cripple an opponent if it focused on a single Different Race.

Of course, the Dragon Race and Sea Race don’t count.

The former is too numerous and perverse in numbers, and the latter’s living area is a no-go zone for humans.

…

The Jade Palace.

Due to the distance, Caesar IV received the news of victory slightly later, but the joy brought about by the victory remained unchanged.

Securing a great victory at the start convinced the ministers, who were originally hesitant about this operation, to completely change their tune and sing praises.
