Chapter 1788: Chapter 136: Advancing in Triumph
As he glanced over the battle report, Hudson couldn’t help but smile. He had initially been worried about these Orcs playing both sides, but now it seed he had been overthinking.
When it cos to slaughtering their own kind, these guys are far more ruthless than the Kingdom’s Army. To politically dissolve the Orc Empire, the Kingdom’s Army is now taking prisoners, but not the servant army.
Other than their own tribe, the rest of the Orcs have beco war achievents. Clearly, they regard other Orcs as kin, but have no sense of belonging to the family that is the Orc Empire.
With continual slaughter, the servant army’s achievents naturally soared. As for losses, they have nothing to do with Hudson, and the staff departnt wouldn’t be so idle as to run off and count servant army casualties.
With severe losses, they can continue to recruit from their own kind; if completely wiped out, just dissolve the unit. Every day, there are Orcs surrendering to the Kingdom’s Army, so there is no lack of servant troops now.
If this situation continues, it won’t be long before the battlefield slaughter slowly turns into Orc infighting.
“This Pigg has potential, actually topping the achievent list; perhaps we’ve underestimated the Pigg Clan’s potential!”
Hudson comnted with a smile.
The Orcs who first defected to the Kingdom were generally from the weaker tribes used to being bullied within the Orc Empire, with no pressure to betray.
After switching allegiance, under the Kingdom Army’s coercion, they eventually mustered the courage to seek revenge against those major tribes who had bullied them.
After winning the first battle with human sea tactics, their initial fear and hesitation gradually faded, spurred on by hatred and interest, they launched a counterattack for retribution.
“Indeed, Marshal was right, this Pigg nad Glaem is different from other Piggs. Not only is he smart, but he knows how to train troops; he must be the lucky one who inherited the Beast God’s legacy.
His tribe and the Marshal are neighbors. Many years ago, he sold information to the Kingdom and was an external mber of the intelligence agencies.
When the Kingdom Army invaded the grasslands, he was not only the first to lead his tribe to surrender but also the first to raise the butcher knife against the Orc Empire.
The tribe’s fighting power is limited, but the number of Piggs is large. He has successively recruited fifty to sixty thousand Pigg youths, making it the largest servant army unit.
…”
Count Guren introduced enthusiastically, evidently Glaem has quite the reputation within the Kingdom Army.
Were it any other species, there might be concerns about him amassing troops for personal power, but with the Pigg Clan, no one has such concerns.
There’s a saying that “pig teammates” can ruin things, so where other troops might have pig teammates, Glaem’s are purely pig teammates.
It’s said that a leopard can’t change its spots.
Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, is the life goal of every Pigg. If it weren’t for necessity, no Pigg would be willing to work.
The fact that Glaem can organize a Pigg Army is a miracle. Normally, Piggs are rely cannon fodder in battle.
“Never mind!
The Kingdom needs examples; if this Pigg is so competent, let him perform freely.
If the Pigg Tribe develops well, it can also stimulate other servant armies. If they can’t even compare to a Pigg, I doubt they have the position to negotiate then!”
With prescient words, Hudson made Count Guren instantly understand.
The Kingdom’s essence in gathering servant armies is still to annihilate the Orc Clan. During warti, there is never too much willingness to defect.
After the war, these servant armies would be troubleso themselves. If too large, they would be planting mines for the Kingdom.
The best solution is to deplete them on the battlefield. It doesn’t violate obligations nor affect moral repute, also eliminating the need to allocate vast grasslands to settle them.
At most, retain so non-dangerous species to dress up the front.
Under these established policies, any Orc chieftain who shows exceptional ability or ambition is subject to cleansing.
“Marshal, the dark elves are willing to co over, what conditions do you propose for them?”
After pausing for a mont, Count Guren asked.
A simple racial defection doesn’t typically require reporting to Hudson, but this particular situation is special.
The trades between Snow Moon Territory and the dark elves are an open secret at the Kingdom’s top levels.
It hasn’t caused a stir mainly because the ores traded eventually beco weaponry sold within the Kingdom.
Strengthening the nation is always welcod by Alpha people.
Knowing the dark elves have ties to Hudson, yet uncertain about their precise relationship, those below were hesitant to act rashly.
“Negotiate as per previous rules, if they want better deals, they must first demonstrate their value.
Tell the dark elves’ representative that Alpha Kingdom doesn’t support the useless!”
Hudson replied calmly.
Business is business, official matters are official.
He had already made discreet contact with the dark elves, but Hudson hadn’t budged.
Of a different tribe, intentions must be suspicious, so he wouldn’t engage in matters that could later sow discord.
Of course, if the partners were to change to the Elf Race, then everything could be negotiated.
Essentially, it’s still because the Dark Elf Clan’s strength is limited, unable to engage in dialogue of equal footing with the Kingdom.
…
Once news of the Orc Empire’s upheaval spread, it aroused a monuntal response among major powers.
The Continent’s war has just begun, and the Orc Empire, once a looming shadow over the continent, has already been forced to self-amputate for survival, truly unexpected for everyone.
