341: Chapter 21, Reviewing the Troops_2 341: Chapter 21, Reviewing the Troops_2 “However, such an occurrence is a low-probability event.
Even if they wanted to seize the opportunity, each race would choose to wait until reinforcents had set off before they would stir up trouble.”
Marshal Borg stated coldly.
He did not wish to betray his allies, but he had no choice.
If there are not problems with the Moxi Duchy, the Warhamr Kingdom will be facing significant issues.
Even if this strategy is comparable to drinking poison to quench one’s thirst, Marshal Borg had no other options.
If he does not cause a stir, the Orc Army’s attack could not be resisted given the incomplete defense works on the eastern line.
Unlike the Alpha Kingdom, which has a rich experience in receiving attacks and is always ready for an invasion, the Noble Lords have taken advantageous positions early on, building castles that can accommodate all the domain people and storing a large amount of food.
The Warhamr Kingdom’s preparations for the war were hasty in the extre.
According to earlier forecasts, they had always believed that the orcs could not launch a full-scale invasion before the old Bimon Emperor’s death.
The strategic judgnt is incorrect, and naturally, they had to pay the price.
Given the past experiences in the war, the nobles of the Warhamr Kingdom greatly overestimated their own strength.
Even now, there are still many small nobles within the Warhamr Kingdom who are optimistic about this war.
They naively think that as long as they mobilize fully, they can drive the Orcs back to their holand.
Under this condition, if the Orc Army invades the heartland of the kingdom, it might genuinely be reduced to a barren land.
If the people are killed by the Orcs, even if the Human Alliance helps to recover the lost territories afterward, it will be very difficult to revive the Warhamr Kingdom.
Joseph II hesitated for a mont, then nodded helplessly.
Inside, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had invited Marshal Borg.
Otherwise, if they went according to the plan of his subordinates, they would naively take the heat for the Moxi Duchy.
That would be a real tragedy.
…
In the Moxi Duchy, upon receiving the news that the Alpha Kingdom had sent troops, Chris the Ninth heaved a sigh of relief.
With this big brother leading the way, the remaining problems were manageable, and their neighboring countries will have to help to so extent.
Each family contributing several tens of thousands of soldiers for reinforcent would add up to a considerable number.
Even if they can’t beat the Orc’s main force, they can at least help stabilize the situation.
Apart from reinforcents, what the Moxi Duchy needed most was “confidence”.
A resistance with reinforcents and fighting alone without reinforcents are two vastly different concepts.
“Your Majesty, this is a diplomatic ssage from the Warhamr Kingdom.
They propose that our two nations join forces, plus reinforcents from other nations, to jointly reclaim Augustusburg and restore the previous defense line.”
As he spoke, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Renato, handed over a docunt.
After taking the docunt, Chris the Ninth glanced through its contents and fell into hesitation.
The reason given by the Warhamr Kingdom was very sufficient.
The terrain of the Augustusburg line was perilous, making it the best place to build a defense line.
In contrast, the current defense line of Teluns City was entirely built by manpower.
The so-called natural barrier was nothing more than a small hill a hundred and eighty ters high.
If there were more continuous small hills to form a hilly terrain, they could also make do with it.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many small hills in this area.
The real mountainous terrain was to the south of Moxi Duchy.
No matter how much they retreated, they couldn’t abandon the foundation of the Duchy and run into mountain valleys to fight guerrilla warfare with the Orcs!
Besides, in any place that the Orc Army passed, whether it was barren or not, there were very few surviving people.
It would be very difficult to start a guerrilla war.
After finishing the docunt, Chris the Ninth slowly asked, “What do you think of the Warhamr Kingdom’s proposal?”
It was evident that he was genuinely interested this ti.
The pie drawn by the Warhamr Kingdom was indeed quite tempting.
If the Augustusburg Defense Line is recaptured, everything will be back to the way it was before the war.
The Moxi Duchy, teetering on the edge of destruction, would be directly revived in full blood.
Moreover, because of the war, a well-equipped army could even be inadvertently trained.
In the ensuing fight against the Orcs’ invasion, they might even have a bit more chance of victory.
“Your Majesty, from a strategic point of view, retaking Augustusburg Defense Line is indeed the best choice.
But the two problems are:
Politically, will it affect the Alliance eting in July; militarily, whether the troops can really complete the combat mission as expected.”
Pri Minister Hercheg expressed his worries.
Although the plan is good, in the end, it still has to be implented by people.
The orc army is steadily coming.
To recapture Augustusburg from their hands is no easy feat.
If an active attack leads to a defeat at the front line, from being a party reclaiming lost territory to being a party fleeing in panic, that would be the end of it.
Compared with that, the Human Alliance’s eting in July is not that important.
According to past habits, the Alliance could quarrel over anything.
This massive issue of sending troops to help won’t go through the voting process unless it’s debated for a while.
“Your Majesty, it’s a rare opportunity.
With the cooperation of the Warhamr Kingdom and the gathering of reinforcents from other countries, this is our best chance to reclaim lost territory.
If we can persuade the Alpha Kingdom to restrain the Orc Army at the front line, the chances of success will be even higher.”
Military Minister Martins said solemnly.
“Opportunity,” is just a question of probability, and it does not an that it can certainly be realized.
Various things can occur on the battlefield, and in the end, it still depends on strength.
Unfortunately, many issues are not rely a simple military problem; they also include a series of political problems.
