Reluctantly, the Presidium meeting barely passed the resolution. The representatives, deep down, cursed the ancestors of the Alpha Kingdom for eighteen generations.
Forcing everyone into the fray was truly despicable, but there was simply no way to refuse. Initiating a war proactively is better than being dragged into it passively.
At this moment, by passing the proposal, we can still control the timing of the war initiation and make early preparations.
If the Alpha Kingdom were to act alone, who knows when one might wake up to find the continental war had already erupted.
The Human Tribe War Chariot began to mobilize, causing panic among the various races across the continent. The Dwarf Kingdom, at the forefront, began their preparations immediately.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, the Troll Clan, Three-Eyed Clan, and Stone People Clan hesitated only briefly before following suit.
The chain reaction spread to the Elf Forest, and the elves, who had yet to reach a consensus, reluctantly prepared for war.
Even considering fleeing is one thing, but before they escape, they still have to consider the threat from the Human Race.
Once the allies collapse, the Elf Race cannot remain unaffected. Even with their deep heritage, facing the continental overlords alone is still untenable.
This is the burden of the ancestors; when they ruled the continent, they failed to exterminate all other races, leaving the hidden dangers to their descendants.
Complaining has no meaning; life must still be faced.
Similarly sucked into the turmoil, the Ancient Heritage Alliance and the Orc Empire are the most miserable of all.
While others are preparing for war, they are already fighting rivers of blood. Thousands of their kin fall every day; this self-bleeding method is just too painful to bear.
...
"What?"
"Hudson has brought his troops to the frontline; are you sure there is no mistake?"
It wasn't that the Bearman Emperor couldn't hold his composure; the news was just too significant.
The war has not yet broken out, yet Great Demon King Hudson has already brought his troops to the frontline; surely they're not just there for an outing.
The internal issues remain unsolved, and facing an external invasion, the Orc Empire truly cannot withstand it!
"Bear Emperor, how could this kind of news not be verified?
The distinctive Dragon Bear Battle Flag is undoubtedly unique on the entire continent.
Hudson holds a very high position in the Alpha Kingdom. If he were not personally on the frontline, no one would dare joke about his honor.
Accompanying him is an army of three hundred thousand, adding to the originally stationed troops, the enemy's forces at the border already exceed five hundred thousand."
The Hawkman King replied solemnly.
Five hundred thousand troops are not enough to make everyone tremble, but five hundred thousand troops under Hudson's command are entirely different.
Facing such a strong enemy, without a several-fold troop advantage, everyone is utterly unconfident.
In fact, even with adequate troop mobilization, the Orc Empire still faces many problems.
After years of continuous warfare, the various orc tribes are already exhausted. Particularly, some small tribes have been driven to the brink of collapse.
After the Divine Creatures invaded, the internal conflict rapidly spread nationwide, primarily due to severe material shortages faced by everyone.
Under the guise of exterminating intruders, seizing opportunities to wage war and plunder survival resources is an almost daily occurrence on the vast grasslands.
The high levels are well aware of all this, but those in power also have their own self-interests.
It is destined that someone must be sacrificed. If you don't want your own tribesmen to go hungry, then you can only sacrifice the weaker races below.
After all, this is how it's been played for thousands of years.
In the Orc Empire, weak races play the roles of cannon fodder, livestock, and food simultaneously.
But there is a limit to sacrifice; even chives need time to grow!
If a full-scale war breaks out now, logistics will be an insurmountable hurdle.
Solely relying on internal resolutions, even if all weaker races are slaughtered to make military supplies, it may not be enough to sustain.
After all, the Alpha Kingdom is now different from the past. In recent years, their war potential has grown at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With the development of new territories, the many provinces at the frontline can supply the army's needs.
The transport distance has significantly shortened, following which the consumption of food and materials has drastically reduced.
This means that after the war breaks out again, the Alpha Kingdom can sustain it longer than in any past wars.
"Hawkman King, you even overlooked a troop.
In the border provinces, there is still a sizable force of Tuntian Soldiers.
These forces have been trained under Hudson's supervision; their combat effectiveness will not be lacking.
Whenever the enemy wishes, they can instantly raise an army of over a million.
From a military perspective, the Alpha Kingdom has essentially completed the troop deployment, only lacking the catalyst for war to erupt."
King Bimon's addition made the expression on the faces of the high-level orcs even more solemn.
The enemy completed troop deployment right under their noses, yet they knew nothing.
Even worse, this troop, while farming to feed themselves, has also completed strategic resource reserves.
The innate farming talent of the Human Race is something the orcs will never learn. Watching the enemy exploit this advantage, they can do nothing.
"The situation has developed to this point, beyond our ability to handle.
Besides the Alpha Kingdom, other Human Race nations are also eager for war; the foreign invasion does not quell their ambitions.
According to feedback from all over the continent, the Human Race is preparing for a new round of continental war; the subsequent situation requires all races in the Alliance to respond jointly.
Directly relay the message to the Elf Race; now they need to make a decision.
