Chapter 984 - 984 122 Turning Point_2

984: Chapter 122: Turning Point_2 984: Chapter 122: Turning Point_2 Only this time, the situation was different.

The state of affairs had deteriorated so badly that everyone was no longer concerned about them slacking off.

“There’s nothing surprising about it,” said the Forest Elf Queen.

“The tragedy of the Half-Orc Kingdom has already scared them witless.

When life and death are at stake, who has time to worry about anything else?

Moreover, under the current situation on the continent, we simply cannot afford to drag our feet any longer.

Since the establishment of the Alliance, the Half-Orcs were the first core member to be annihilated by the Human Race, a heavy blow to the morale of all parties.

If we don’t act quickly, there will soon be a second and a third, and then the situation will truly become irrecoverable.

What I didn’t expect was that the Alpha Kingdom, as the most staunch anti-Alliance state among the humans, actually had connections with all sides and was able to get them to come forward and help mediate.

Indeed, you can’t trust humans; they all put on a virtuous front, but when dealing with them, you must always be extra vigilant!”

No sooner had the Forest Elf Queen finished speaking than the other elves joined in the criticism, casting the Human Race in the most unflattering light.

Complaints aside, negotiations were still put on the agenda.

The Human Race intended to destroy the Alien Coalition, true, but when it came to individual nations, they each had their own interests and demands.

Take the Alpha Kingdom, for example, which now wanted the eradication of the Different Races in the Southern Region.

Without these Different Races to check, the already unbalanced power between north and south would be exacerbated further.

The most frustrating part was that the Different Races of the Northern Continent were indestructible!

After the victory of the continental war, the Human Alliance would indeed offer assistance to the countries of the Northern Continent, but this support would be very limited.

Expecting them to commit the full might of their nations to completely annihilate the Different Races of the Northern Continent was out of the question.

In such a context, the higher-ups of the Alpha Kingdom, acutely aware of the impending crisis, naturally thought of self-preservation first.

The grand cause of unifying the continent under the Human Race could wait.

Perhaps it would be better to accomplish this during the next continental war.

The criticism became increasingly off-topic, eventually straying from the main point of discussion, prompting the Forest Elf Queen to interrupt, “Stop!

Let’s discuss these issues later.

For now, let’s focus on the situation on the Warhammer Great Plains.

You all know the deal: our worthless allies are at their wit’s end.

Without reinforcements, it won’t be long before they collapse.”

“Big sister, you are not being accurate.

Even if reinforcements were sent, there’s no guarantee they would hold out until they arrived.

To support those incompetents, we’ve already lost a Mage Corps and a fully-staffed legion.

We didn’t even suffer such losses when we annihilated the Three North Sea Countries.

The Alpha People are tough to deal with.

If we continue to send reinforcements, a minor force would only add to our casualties without making a difference.

On the Warhammer Great Plains right now, there are thirty thousand members of the Expeditionary Army, eighty thousand troops from the Moxi People, and tens of thousands of routed soldiers from the Warhammer Kingdom.

Additionally, with a commander of the caliber of Hudson leading them, defeating them won’t be easy.

If we don’t intervene, even if the Ancient Heritage Alliance were to call back the entire Southern Expeditionary Army, they still might not win.

To ensure absolute certainty of victory, we would need to deploy at least five Elite Legions.

To minimize losses, it would be ideal to deploy The Hundred Thousand Army.

Not to mention whether we can spare that much manpower, the current situation of the Ancient Heritage Alliance is such that they can’t hold out that long!

Just recently, there was a major dispute over the consumption of ally corpses, which could have led to a fight among themselves if Derris hadn’t handled it decisively.

If we truly want to preserve the Ancient Heritage Alliance, we better hurry up and negotiate with the Alpha Kingdom to have Hudson recalled to his country,” the Night Elf Queen said irritably.

It was apparent that her confidence in the Ancient Heritage Alliance had been completely dashed.

With hundreds of thousands of troops at their disposal, they were being suppressed by the enemy’s few tens of thousands of cavalry since the beginning, never once seizing the strategic initiative.

To say the Ancient Heritage Alliance lacked strength would clearly be wrong.

In terms of individual combat capabilities, the soldiers of the Ancient tribes were generally superior to those of the Human soldiers.

Even if the Expeditionary Army consisted entirely of elites who outmatched the ordinary Human Race soldiers, when faced with the soldiers of the Ancient tribes, they would at most manage a two-to-one fight.

Unfortunately, once the numbers expanded, the disparity in strength between the two sides became stark.

The Expeditionary Army could easily break through an enemy force several times its size.

Undoubtedly, the problem wasn’t the soldiers; it was the incompetent officers in command.

From the top to the bottom, the officer quality of the Expeditionary Army was far superior to that of the Ancient Heritage Alliance.

These shortcomings weren’t going to be remedied overnight.

With racial tensions in play, even if the Elf Race wanted to help them reorganize their army, there was no room for operation.

“Let’s start negotiations with the Alpha People as soon as possible.

No matter how useless the Ancient Heritage Alliance may be, they still command hundreds of thousands of troops, and if their potential is further tapped, they could mobilize tens of thousands more.

There will be many more battles ahead, and having them join in would also help reduce our people’s casualties,” said the Forest Elf Queen with a calm demeanor.

She spoke as if using allies as cannon fodder was an utterly common affair, her face betraying not a hint of guilt.

This was a completely different character from the amiable and affable queen of before.

A qualified leader must always prioritize the interests of their own species above all.

Warmth is reserved for one’s kin, but when dealing with outsiders, one must show an iron resolve.
