Unfortunately, reality allows no what-ifs. The death of Duke Touss directly impacted the reinforcent efficiency, causing the Black Forest Army at the front lines to suffer trendously.
"Your Majesty, the situation is a bit dire.
The Alpha Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a notification stating: the morale of the troops at the front lines is low, and they are preparing to send a different unit to reinforce."
Just as Foreign Minister Marquis Krasna finished speaking, the atmosphere in the great hall subtly changed.
No one cared if the Alpha Kingdom replaced its reinforcents, but they had to bear the consequences resulting from it.
Each passing day of war consus enormous financial, human, and material resources.
Perhaps by the ti the battles on other fronts had ended, they would still be entangled with the enemy.
If it were during the Black Forest Kingdom’s peak, so small troubles wouldn’t have bothered them, but not now.
In recent years, they’ve had a string of bad luck, first suffering massive losses in the Continental War, followed by a cult rebellion, a Magic Cataclysm, and an invasion by the Earth Core race.
The fires of war have burned until now, with the longest ceasefire period not exceeding three months.
For an agricultural country, this frequency of warfare has long surpassed their limits of endurance.
"Send soone over to urge them to speed up troop deploynt.
Tell our allies, the front line situation is already precarious. If a major defeat occurs, the Different Races around could seize the opportunity to loot at any ti!"
Alexander V said, suppressing his anger.
When under soone’s roof, you have to bow your head!
In seeking others’ help, one must lower their stance.
Since the establishnt of the Five Nations Alliance, the Black Forest Kingdom’s voice in the alliance has steadily declined.
The primary factor is: their army’s combat effectiveness is lacking!
Fortunately, the situations in the three kingdoms in the Central Continent are similar, having two "comrades in adversity" made Alexander V feel slightly balanced.
In his heart, he had already decided that once the war ended, he would fully advance military reform.
The previous military reform had them learning only halfway.
For example, regarding the Alpha Kingdom’s grand reserve system, they had only set up the reserves, with daily training and logistical support being compromised.
When war broke out, these units did not disappoint, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
The Kingdom’s Elites of the past are still the Kingdom’s Elites today, but it is regrettable that the numbers of these units have never grown.
Due to the impact of war, the Black Forest Kingdom’s elite numbers not only didn’t increase but even significantly decreased compared to before.
Not having experienced the hardships of war, starting directly with a hell-level challenge, naturally led to inadequate backup forces.
In fact, one big reason why the Five Nations Alliance could maintain unity is that the three kingdoms in the Central Continent are in continuous decline.
That’s dictated by geography!
Rooted in a land of four conflicts, their tragic destiny in turbulent tis was predestined.
Lacking a stable strategic rear is secondary; the key is that they cannot compare with the Human Race’s great powers in both the North and South continents.
Southern powers surpass them in politics, economy, culture, and military.
The two Northern Continent allies don’t have such obvious advantages, even economically trailing behind, but their ability to fight compensates for all their disadvantages.
In chaotic tis, that single advantage alone is enough to level all other disadvantages.
...
Augustusburg.
The stalemate battle lasting for days finally reached a turning point today.
The Alpha Kingdom reinforcents appearing on the horizon directly threatened the Earth Core race’s rear, forcing the enemy to split their forces for interception.
"They finally ca!"
Rakel couldn’t help but remark as he rubbed his tired eyes.
The armor on his body had accompanied him for seven days, never once removed; the stench could be slled ters away.
Fortunately, on the battlefield, everyone was in similar conditions; no one could despise another.
If it were in the capital city, just the foul odor would have been enough to get him blacklisted by noble ladies.
"Pass the order, ensuring all soldiers don their armor and pick up their weapons for a counterattack; our reinforcents have arrived!"
As he spoke, an unknown enthusiasm surged up, instantly reviving Rakel’s spirit.
The exhausted defending soldiers, upon hearing the news of reinforcents, also had their eyes filled with hope.
It’s only natural for a younger brother to seek help from an elder; it’s not the first ti, and everyone was already accustod to it. If the Alpha Kingdom Army didn’t co, then everyone would be surprised.
...
In the distance, the Alpha Kingdom’s Expeditionary Army to Support the Duchy of Moxi.
"Sound the charge horn, launch a full-scale attack!"
In an instant, the ready cavalry charged out first, clashing with the intercepting Earth Core race.
Long spears flung enemies away, and blood dyed the earth. The flying flesh and blood continuously narrated the cruelty of war.
Seeing this scene, Duke Beckett’s face remained unchanged.
After leading troops into battle for half his life, life and death on the battlefield ant nothing to him.
In the blink of an eye, infantry formations from both sides also collided.
Pure clashes of flesh, devoid of any skill, tested only raw strength.
The shouts and screams on the battlefield surged continuously one after another.
The alarming commotion quickly caught the attention of the defending forces. Without hesitation, Rakel imdiately ordered a sortie for a counterattack.
The double envelopnt was ford, yet the Earth Core race didn’t show the expected panic, instead launching a counter-charge head-on.
Long spears pierced through the bodies of the Wolf Soldiers, as claws simultaneously tore through the Human soldiers’ chests.
