1310: Chapter 237: Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy 1310: Chapter 237: Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy Misfortune never cos singly.
While discussing the situation in Micia Province, three urgent pleas for help arrived from the frontlines.
The previously confident Minister of Defense was suddenly caught off guard.
Suppressing a rebellion alone was naturally not an issue for the Black Forest Kingdom.
The problem was that the kingdom’s main forces were mostly gathered at the frontlines.
According to the initial plan, besides leaving so troops to guard the Capital, it was the main duty of the Kingdom’s standing army to defend the frontiers, while the Noble’s Private Army was responsible for maintaining local order.
Nobody expected that the perfect military structure would be shattered after the Cult rebellion was compounded by a natural disaster.
The more chaos within the country, the less they dared to mobilize the large army at the front.
If the troops were moved and an Alien Race Army took advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, it would be a tragedy.
The army stationed at the Capital had already been reallocated three tis; to continue pulling troops from there would an nobody could sleep easy.
The sudden change in the situation complicated matters considerably.
Normally, Major Nobles would not ask the Kingdom Governnt for help.
After all, it was their own territory, and no one wanted to be told what to do.
Four provinces in turn having to ask the Kingdom Governnt for help indicates how perilous the local situations must be.
If the deterioration continued, it would indeed be the end of the dynasty.
Self-styled as the Hegemonic Monarch, Alexander V would not allow such a situation to occur.
“You’ve all fallen silent!”
“Aren’t you all capable during normal tis?
How co you’ve turned mute when it’s crunch ti?”
“And those four fools asking for help can’t even secure their own territories, what a bunch of useless trash!”
…
The unceasing rant echoed in everyone’s ears; at this mont, Alexander V no longer had the deanor of the Monarch he was on other days.
Perhaps because he had been holding back for too long, once it all ca out, Alexander V felt a sense of relief.
The anger he had been holding onto was largely vented along with the outburst, and his tone gradually returned to calm.
“Well then, let’s discuss; what should we do now?”
The topic was brought back to problem-solving, and those who had been berated were not accustod to the sudden shift, almost doubting their own ears.
After hesitating for a mont, Duke Milton, the Chancellor, mustered the courage to respond, “Your Majesty, in view of the continuously worsening dostic situation, we must prepare for the worst.
According to the intelligence collected from various places, almost every province has witnessed rebellions of varying scales; reallocating troops from other provinces to suppress them is likely insufficient.
The only option now is to seek help from the Five Nations Alliance.
The Northern Continent has not been greatly affected by this wave of Cult unrest, both Alpha Kingdom and Moxi Duchy have managed to suppress their rebellions.
To ask both countries…”
While speaking, Duke Milton suddenly beca unable to continue.
It was embarrassing enough to ask allies for help, but to ask for help from a Duchy was too much of a blow to their pride.
There was no need to state it; the implication was clear, and everyone understood what needed to be done next.
“Marquis Krasner, I’ll leave this matter to you to coordinate.
There’s only one principle: the core interests of the Kingdom must not be compromised; the rest is up to you!”
Alexander V made an imdiate decision.
In war, speed is of the essence, and requesting help is a matter of urgency.
Alexander V, who did not wish to beco a Monarch of a fallen nation, now displayed the responsibility a King should have.
Embarrassnt aside, with the situation deteriorated to this extent, the international prestige of the Black Forest Kingdom had already plumted.
If they continued to delay, it would not just be a matter of losing face; they wouldn’t even be able to protect their own substance.
Although asking for help ca at a price, this loss was controllable.
After all, they were allies, with a common enemy at hand, and everyone needed to have a fallback.
…
As the wheels of history moved forward, the Cult unrest reached its climax precisely when the Black Forest Kingdom couldn’t hold on any longer and started to seek external help.
It wasn’t just tough for Human countries; the Different Races were also having a difficult ti.
Even the normally united Elf Race now sprouted a new branch — the Fallen Elves!
It was all standard practice; Different Races could support the Human World’s Cults, and naturally, humans would also sponsor Cults among Different Races.
For the purpose of supporting the Cult organizations in the Alien World, the Human Alliance even set up a special fund.
Apart from this, countries on the Continent would instinctively support certain Cult organizations within Different Races.
Hudson wasn’t very familiar with Cult Organizations in other places, but several within the Orc Empire had received funding from him.
With the grasslands suffering from severe drought, it was clearly a breeding ground for the Cult ideologies.
Without any hesitation, Hudson instructed the intelligence departnt to sponsor these Cult organizations with a batch of supplies.
These were so primitive Cult organizations, lagging behind the active Cult groups in the Human World by at least two eras.
If he wasn’t concerned about the influence, he would even want to help these Cult organizations draft a program of activities.
After much hesitation, Hudson eventually abandoned this idea.
Not for any other reason, but purely because he had no confidence in the execution capabilities of these Cult organizations.
The more comprehensive the program, the more it focuses on detail managent, and the higher the demand for qualified individuals.
Given the civilizational level of the Orcs, expecting them to do such complex tasks was clearly asking too much of them.
…
“You’re saying that a new Cult organization has erged within the Orc Empire, and they haven’t co to us for sponsorship?”
