420: Chapter 53, A Mix of Joy and Sorrow_3 420: Chapter 53, A Mix of Joy and Sorrow_3 The stance of various races on the continent is not firm.
As long as the situation develops in our favor, there will be no lack of followers.
If all parties cooperate well, even if we cannot pull the human race down from the throne of the continent in one go, we can still deal a heavy blow to them.”
The Hawkman Emperor said fiercely.
Unfortunately, the occasional flicker of fear in his eyebrows exposed his true thoughts.
It is one thing to bully a few human kingdoms in the north, but when up against the entire Human Alliance, the power of the Orc Empire is clearly not enough.
The Human Alliance’s “Five-Fold Superiority Bill” is not a decoration, but a reality that has been implemented.
No matter which race, if it touches the critical point, it will attract the thunderous strike from the Human Alliance.
Such brutal beatings are not the first time in the history of the Orcs.
Even based on the fragments of history, it still brings them fear.
Although the human race is now fragmented, the overall strength of the race has not decreased much.
“Emperor Hawk, retreat is not an option at this point.
Even if we want to back down now, we can’t explain it to our clan.
Not all members of our race know the terror of the human race, in the eyes of most Beast God’s Believers, humans are just a bunch of two-legged sheep.
If we forcibly retreat, I’m afraid that before the Human Alliance strikes, turmoil will break out among us.
Making a mess of the human kingdoms in the north and attracting various races to join this war, is our only way out.
To achieve this, many of our past habits must change.
Indiscriminate slaughter will only provoke the fiercest resistance.
Sometimes, killing is not the best solution to a problem.
The use of flexible tactics can often cause more trouble for the enemy.
For instance: Recruit the young and strong serfs for our own use, let them plough the fields for us.
Send the useless elderly and weak back to continue consuming the enemy’s food supplies.
Those hypocritical nobles who boast about kindness can’t just sit back and watch their people starve, can they!
The destruction caused by hundreds of thousands, even millions of refugees rushing together, may not necessarily be less impactful than the deployment of our army.”
Crown Prince Alex said ruthily.
In his view, the failures of past wars were all because they helped the human race solve their logistical problems.
A large number of refugees caused by the war should have been handled by the Orc Army, without extending the damage to the rear.
Especially this kind of bloody slaughter, it also sparked all-out resistance, causing heavy casualties for the Orc Army.
“Alex, you’re simplifying things.
Letting serfs leave is easy, but what about our logistics?
As the front line extends, the support from the rear is becoming negligible.
Now over 80% of the army’s consumption is based on frontline seizures, and the soldiers need a lot of meat for replenishment…”
The Lionman King shook his head and said.
Anyone can weigh the pros and cons, but logistics is a big problem.
Despite the smooth advancement of the Orc Army, with the exception of the main army’s guaranteed supplies, other soldiers often go hungry.
If you observe carefully, you will often see Orc Soldiers picking wild fruits, leaves, digging up fresh grass, and wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
If it wasn’t for the soldiers’ strong digestive systems, the logistic supplies provided by them would have long left the bodies of the soldiers strewn across the battlefield due to starvation.
War is heavy physical work, eating only vegetables will definitely not suffice, so meat replenishment is especially important.
…
Flying Bear Fort, watching the continuous convergence of defeat, Master Hudson was very pleased.
The severely understaffed new corps is now full.
Judging from the current situation, as long as he keeps pushing, the number of corps under his command can be increased again.
No matter which country’s soldiers, once they enter Flying Bear Fort, they are his, Master Hudson’s soldiers.
If the aristocratic military officers have opinions, let’s first discuss the issue of desertion on the battlefield.
No matter whether there is the right to pursue accountability, Master Hudson will still do so regardless.
The obedient ones join the army to make amends for their crimes, and the disobedient ones are directly thrown into prison for “desertion on the battlefield”.
Evidence is not needed.
If you hadn’t run away, you would have already met the Lord of the Dawn.
Anyone who manages to survive is because they were able to run fast enough on the battlefield.
Excuses are pointless.
No matter how adequate the reasons, it doesn’t change the fact they deserted their post in the face of battle.
Hudson had verified this a long time ago, except for the orderly retreat order issued by Crown Prince Caesar, the commanders of the Orton Duchy and the Kingdom of Ruilin did not even issue a retreat order.
No matter which situation, abandoning the army and fleeing the battlefield can be labeled with the crime of desertion.
With this charge in place, it’s not a matter of arbitrary detention of the nobles, rather arresting deserters.
Even after the war, when these people are handed over to their respective countries, they cannot escape post-war accountability.
There are only two paths in front of them: Either make amends for their crimes on the battlefield, or be stripped of their nobility and face military law.
Everyone is smart, so even if some are hot-headed, after a few days of calming down in jail, their heads will clear up.
The morale of the deserters is not good, but their physical condition is quite good.
All have experienced the test of life and death, and it’s because they stood out from the crowd that they were able to escape the battlefield and make it here.
As long as the morale issue is resolved, after some training, they will become a force with decent combat power.
Win a few battles, and the survivors will be trained soldiers.
Joy often leads to tragedy, and this is the best portrayal of Master Hudson’s life.
While he was consolidating his power with the deserters, an appointment letter from the Alpha Kingdom also fell into his hands.
“The expeditionary force commander of the Alpha Kingdom stationed in the Moxi Duchy”, the title is loudly enough, but all that the Kingdom gives him is a title.
Apart from an increase in responsibilities and obligations, how many soldiers Master Hudson originally had under his command has not changed at all.
His real power has not increased by half a point.
The Alpha Kingdom is clearly telling him that there will be no reinforcements and that he has to solve all problems himself.
The dream of returning home early was also shattered along with it.
