Chapter 1555: Chapter 52, Black Hand_2
In fact, Hudson’s legendary story being widely accepted across the continent’s races was also the result of step-by-step groundwork.
Gradually, step by step, it quietly became a legend.
The biggest advantage of being successful and famous is that as soon as you stand in place, the enemy trembles; when the marshal’s banner is erected in the camp, the enemy’s morale declines.
Especially on the great prairie, as soon as the Dragon Bear Battle Flag is seen, the orc tribes immediately scatter.
The Giant Foot Centipede Clan was not affected, because they didn’t know who Hudson was.
Had they heard these legendary stories, the next time the two armies meet, their morale would automatically drop by 1.
“Prime Minister Javat, I hope this is not true, but after interrogating many prisoners, the results we got were all very similar.
The content I’m speaking of is already relatively objective and based on factual evidence.
The legendary stories about Hudson are actually much more exaggerated than these.
You haven’t been on the battlefield and cannot feel this person’s influence in the military.
That night, we had been fighting with the enemy for several hours. Both sides’ soldiers were extremely exhausted, sustained only by willpower.
Then, as soon as Hudson appeared, the defending soldiers who were fatigued revived instantly, as if they didn’t know weariness.
I personally witnessed the madness of the human soldiers’ charge, and anyone who has experienced it will never want to encounter it a second time!”
Howell said with lingering fear.
In the Earth Core World, he had seen many crazy scenes, but those were all through evil magic control.
This time it’s different!
The fanatical counterattack of the defenders was entirely driven by their belief in victory. The opponents were no longer enemies but targets waiting to be harvested for military merit.
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heavy, unfortunately hitting the hardest obstacle; this luck wasn’t meant to go easy on them.
Simply losing tens of thousands of troops was something the Giant Foot Centipede could accept; the key was that these losses were all elites.
Especially the loss of high-end combat power, which cannot be compensated for in a short time.
Subsequent counterattacks, they didn’t even dare entertain the thought.
Before, they didn’t know they were hitting an iron plate; now knowing it’s an iron plate, kicking it again would be suicidal.
“Alright, the situation has changed, so the original plan is directly canceled.
Purely from the intelligence collected, our military strength is above that of the Southeastern Province, but this is just one province of the Alpha Kingdom!
Apart from this province, there are more than forty other provinces.
A nation where everyone is a soldier, long-time fighting with foreign races, how weak can the other provinces really be!
From now on, we will adopt a defensive stance on the northern front, waiting for the continental situation to change.
Though the human race stands dominant, the other forces on the Continent of Aslante are not weak either.
The Earth Core entrance opening is the Anti-Human Alliance’s best opportunity to counterattack. Missing this time means their destiny will be to wait for the human race to swallow them up.
First try to establish contact and seek support from the major races of the surface world; the anti-human camps of the Northern Continent are not weak, this is our best opportunity!”
The King Centipede’s direct decision ended the debate, but everyone’s mood was still heavy.
The Giant Foot Centipede Clan also suffered a rough fate, finally reaching the surface world only to be caught between two human kingdoms, with magical beasts roaming around.
Just extending their feelers to the outside world, they hit the hardest iron plate.
If their previous probes had targeted the Black Forest Kingdom instead of aiming for the Alpha Kingdom, the situation would not have been this bad.
…
Jade Palace.
Caesar IV was lazily basking in the sun, clearly in a very good mood.
The kingdom suddenly added three Earth Core entrances, which should have been troublesome, but the swift arrival of good news offset that.
At night, they received news of an invasion from the Earth Core race in the Southeastern Province, but by the next day, upon waking from sleep, good news had already arrived.
The reinforcements had not even been sent, and the situation was resolved.
With such capable subordinates, being the leader is easy.
Caesar IV directly ignored the subsequent battle issues.
Under the personal defense of his own marshal, if the enemies could still break through, then the Earth Core race would indeed be terrifying!
No doubt, the barren Earth Core World couldn’t possibly nurture such powerful dragons.
Sanctuary Powerhouses had fallen on the battlefield; saying the enemy didn’t exert themselves is not believable.
According to the battle report data, the enemy was surely hurt deeply this time and would not be so rash next time.
The Southeastern Province didn’t need reinforcements, the kingdom’s trouble was directly reduced by a third, leaving two other places for Caesar IV, who was not worried.
The standing army of the kingdom wasn’t deployed, but nobles from surrounding provinces had already sent troops to assist, and they were waiting for the subsequent battle report.
The specifics of military command were useless even if he wanted to worry about them, as the people below simply wouldn’t listen.
Initially, Caesar IV was indignant about this, but gradually got used to it over time.
With a relaxed mindset, the world suddenly became beautiful.
“Your Majesty, this is the new list for noble appointments, along with the specific division of the fiefs.
Both the military and the government have verified it, would you like to see if there are any places needing revision?”
Marquis Delgado, the Chancellor’s words rang in his ears, signaling the start of new work. Caesar IV stretched and said, “Understood.
Leave the documents here, I will review them as soon as possible!”
