246: Chapter 142, The King’s Secret Order_1 246: Chapter 142, The King’s Secret Order_1 The chaotic situation on the Continent of Aslante was overwhelming.
Various disarrayed powers seed to have agreed in advance to cause trouble together.
The Alpha Kingdom was at peace, all thanks to the impending threat of the big boss, the Orc Empire.
For the major human factions, having a gatekeeper like the Alpha Kingdom was necessary.
Even the clergy who wished to stir up strife only intended to incite disputes to benefit themselves.
No one was foolish enough to bring about the imdiate downfall of the Alpha Kingdom.
Without this powerful gatekeeper, if the orcs march straight in, it could threaten the supremacy of the human race on the continent.
To other races, humans were no good, but orcs were even more detestable.
The Orc Empire, comprising nurous races, wasn’t naturally ford, but was a result of an alliance of five rogue species that had gone around conquering others.
The ability of humans to seize the position of the continent’s dominator largely benefited from the great massacre by the orcs, which dealt a severe blow to various other races.
The clam fights, the fisherman profits.
The human race was the lucky one who took the opportunity to deal a severe blow to the Orc Empire when it was off-guard.
Even after humans took control, there wasn’t much difference essentially.
The only distinction was that humans had stronger political ans and had learned to mask and fra.
They didn’t seem as cruel as the orcs, mostly preferring to act in secret, maintaining the appearance of peace.
No matter how well they masked it, the truth would eventually co to light.
Those who suffered might not react imdiately but would gradually realize it later.
Unsurprisingly, it would soon be the turn of the human race to beco the public enemy of the continent.
All was for the better survival of their respective species, and it was not a matter of good or evil.
Who ever side you are on becos the righteous one.
As a mber of the human race, Hudson would naturally not advocate for other races.
There could only be one dominator of the continent after all, and power would not co without struggles.
Putting down the docunts in his hand, Hudson sucked in a breath of cold air, admitting that he had learned sothing new.
The situation in each country on the continent was of no concern to him for now.
The crucial part was that the Orc Empire had started preparing for war.
Just this alone was at most a hassle to him but definitely not surprising.
For the orcs, invading south was as easy as sleeping or eating.
Almost all higher-ranking orcs participated in the southern invasion.
An orc life without such an invasion would be incomplete.
The problem was that this ti, the expansion and preparation for war was initiated by the Bimon Royal Court.
Surprisingly, the decrepit Bimon Emperor didn’t object this ti.
On the surface, it was supposedly a compromise made by the War Faction to promote Prince Alex to the throne.
However, Hudson knew that this explanation was bullshit.
For a crown prince who indulges in eating and drinking, the best way to ascend to the throne peacefully is to do nothing, not to start a war.
The Bimon Emperor was old, well beyond the usual lifespan of a Bimon.
If the Bimon Emperor dies suddenly in the midst of the war, how can Crown Prince Alex stabilize the situation?
There must be a catch when things seem strange.
Hudson didn’t know what the Bimon Emperor was up to this ti, but the footsteps of war were near.
If an old man nearing the end of his life goes mad, who knows what will happen?
Faced with such an odd situation, it was inevitable for the kingdom to actively respond.
Every full-scale invasion of the orcs was a test for the Alpha Kingdom, and it could lead to the downfall of the country and family.
…
“You all have read the docunts.
The sudden change in the Bimon Emperor, there must be a problem behind it.
We don’t know what it is yet, but once the orc invasion breaks out, it will definitely not be a minor incident.
Although we have two more allies to share the pressure, if we beco the primary target of the orcs, the pressure we need to bear is still substantial.
The Southeastern Province, as the rear of the kingdom, not only needs to provide money and food when war breaks out, but also has to send troops to fight.
Everyone must now prepare for everything, in case war suddenly breaks out, the sending-troops task assigned to my Southeastern Province should be between 150,000 to 250,000.
Although these troops are not sent out all at once, the number of the first expeditionary force will be no less than 80,000.
If the frontline warfare is intense, the number of conscripts could double, which is normal.
During the last full-scale war, when the frontline collapsed, the kingdom was in its most critical mont, and was forced to execute a one-in-three conscription.
Sending serfs who just put down their hoes onto the battlefield is simply sending heads to the enemy.
They were completely using human lives to delay the orc’s attack speed.
We absolutely cannot make the sa mistake again!
I invited everyone here today to urge you all to expand the military as much as possible, and train as many elite troops as possible before the outbreak of the war.
Not just the standing army, even common serfs should participate in military training now.
Prepare for the worst scenario.
Ceasar III’s secret order, the kingdom enters a state of all-out mobilization from now on, to face this orc invasion with the strongest stance.
After you return, not only do you all need to prepare for the war with all your strength, but also urge the lords below you to expand their armies and prepare for war.
The issue of the secret order cannot be leaked.
I don’t care how you execute it, but once the war breaks out, you all have to bring troops that are capable of tough battles.
This is a racial war, with no room for negotiation.
The Continent of Aslante follows the law of the jungle.
The losers do not have the right to live on this continent!”
