King

Chapter 122: The Scent of War (Part 3)


Caesar IV angrily vented.

Without the cohesive force of the unified belief in the Beast God, the internal unity of the Orc Empire became increasingly weak.

If it weren't for the threat of the Kingdom as an external enemy, the disintegrated Orc Empire would have long ceased to exist.

The plan to destroy the Orc Empire proceeded smoothly, and just when it was time to reap the harvest, the Alien Coalition jumped out to disrupt things at a critical moment.

As a major nation, the Alpha Kingdom also had a temper.

The Alien Coalition dared to cause trouble, so Caesar IV dared to retaliate.

"Your Majesty, the enemy will not pass through the Kingdom's territory. If they participate in this action, they will inevitably choose to detour through the World of Ice and Snow.

The Kingdom wants to intercept them, which is almost impossible.

Once these guys enter the Orc Empire, it will be even harder for us to take action.

There is a risk that the enemy might deliberately expose a flaw, luring our people into a trap.

Unless we move the army together and pincer the enemy alongside those invaders!"

Just as Richard, Duke, Minister of Military Affairs, finished speaking, the hall became noisy.

"Colluding with the Devil" was also taboo.

Generally speaking, forces that dare to engage in such actions do not end well.

Positive examples don't exist because winners don't document their dark histories.

"Duke Richard, it's possible to move with the army, but absolutely not to ally with the invaders!

Once this matter spreads, the Kingdom's reputation on the Continent will be completely ruined.

Both sides are our enemies; there's absolutely no possibility of a joint alliance.

Let's not bother about how they act, just follow our plan and fight directly!"

While expressing opposition, Prime Minister Beckett's gaze also turned to Hudson.

Seemingly strongly opposed, in fact, he was subtly consenting to a partnership.

However, such matters must be done secretly, and must not be admitted.

Such high-level tactics require excellent execution to succeed.

To be approved, one must obtain the support of Hudson, the specific executor.

Glancing at the two, Hudson knew they were playing a double act. Faced with such politically adept colleagues, he really wanted to thank them.

They overestimated him.

It would be almost impossible to secretly join forces and leave behind the reinforcements sent by the Alien Coalition.

They are either Eighth Order or Sanctuary. They are not easily killed; being unable to defeat them doesn't mean they can't escape.

With the strongmen within the Orc Empire, the enemy's high-end power will surely exceed that of the Kingdom.

"Prime Minister, this is impossible to achieve.

The enemy is not foolish and won't act according to our setup.

Even the Orc high-levels can't distinguish which ones are the invaders, it's even more impossible for us to distinguish.

If we choose to deploy troops now, then both factions of Orcs engaged in civil war will become our enemies.

Better to wait a bit!

Let these two enemies fight each other for a while longer, then it will be our opportunity to strike."

Hudson shook his head and refused.

Challenging limit situations is better done less often. It can succeed countless times, but failure takes only once.

"Marshal, if Princess Madelena assists us, will the probability of success increase somewhat?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Hudson looked at Prime Minister Beckett with a strange gaze.

It was bound to happen one day that as a causality weapon renowned on the Continent, Princess Madelena would be targeted!

It had not been utilized because everyone was apprehensive, fearing it would affect themselves.

Against the backdrop of the fall of the gods, the emergence of a "Goddess of Misfortune" inevitably leads to associations.

The Alpha Royal Family internally may have also sensed something amiss with Her Highness the Princess.

Anyhow, as long as others were the unlucky ones and the royal family didn't suffer, they might as well play dumb.

If the relationship is openly acknowledged and both sides fall out, the royal family wouldn't dare to bear the consequences.

"If the Prime Minister could persuade Her Highness the Princess, the probability of success could indeed increase somewhat, but the odds would still not exceed thirty percent.

My suggestion is to delay deploying troops, first watch the enemies slaughter each other for a while, then seize the opportunity to plunge eastward into the prairie.

Of course, if Princess Madelena is willing to take risks, it's also possible to send a detachment ahead into the Orc Empire to stir things up."

Hudson tentatively suggested.

The Goddess of Calamity was an extremely fearsome entity among the gods, and whatever fraction of ability Princess Madelena inherited was still uncertain.

Like countless external observers, Hudson also wanted to seize the opportunity to probe Princess Madelena's bottom.

The reinforcements of the Alien Coalition were a good touchstone.

If the Origin of Calamity could affect these powerful beings, then avoiding them in the future would be wise.

"Marshal, rest assured, I will go and talk to my sister!"

Seeing Caesar IV assume full responsibility, Hudson couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's really unknown, under the influence of the memory of the Goddess of Misfortune, how much of their sibling bond would remain.

Even if Princess Madelena agreed to this matter, it would likely be an attempt to take the opportunity to make meritorious achievements and cleanse her reputation within the Kingdom.

Once she plays a crucial role in the action to destroy the Orc Empire, the Kingdom's decision-makers will have another unique presence.

This would be strategically significant for subsequent usurpation actions.

Of course, if the sibling bond were deep, Princess Madelena might also choose to outlast Caesar IV.

Vaguely, Hudson felt this was the truth.

In a traditional nation like the Alpha Kingdom, without a royal line dying out, there's simply no way any party would allow a queen to appear.

With Princess Madelena's capabilities, it's not difficult to make the royal line extinct, but she definitely couldn't do it.

When too many accidents happen, everyone will point the finger at her.

At that point, even a true god might not withstand the Kingdom's wrath.

To reduce everyone's resistance, not only must she contribute to the country, but also make the transition of royal power as legalized as possible.

For instance: after the brother dies, the aunt assists the nephew in handling political affairs.

After all, she's not cultivating the Royal Path Laws and has no need to ascend to the throne.

By staying behind the scenes and holding power, she can also wield the Kingdom's power.

It might just be the case that Princess Madelena herself first expressed the intention to serve the country, leading to today's situation.
