King

Chapter 69 Small Staff Room_1


Looking at the information passed over by the Moxi People, Hudson was at a loss for words. He had to say, the Warhammer Kingdom was audacious to dare play the grand battle at this time.

If they really wanted to play a big game, it would be better to join forces with the Moxi People and first recover the Augustusburg Defense Line.

Once this gap is plugged, the annihilation of the Orc Army entering the Warhammer Kingdom is just a matter of time, and they won't even be able to break out and escape.

Fighting on the flat Warhammer Great Plains, even if they could defeat the Orc Army, they would not be able to annihilate them.

If they are defeated, can't they also run away?

Most of the Orc Expeditionary Army are cavalry. Infantry chasing cavalry, that is just a joke.

Despite his suspicions, Hudson did not reveal his stance. War, has always been full of infinite possibilities.

Although from the known data, the chances of the Warhammer Kingdom winning this battle are not high, there are always exceptions to everything.

What if the army summoned by the Warhammer Kingdom has a dozen or so elite legions, plus a bunch of little brothers playing Human Sea Tactics, using numbers to wear down the Orc Expedition Army is also feasible.

However, this is still just a small probability event. The main forces of the Warhammer Kingdom were mostly restrained at the front line. If there were so many main forces in the rear, they would not be ranked last among the Ten Great Human Kingdoms.

No wonder the Moxi People were nervous. As old neighbours, or rather neighbours of comparable power, frictions have not been few between the two countries over the past years. They know each other's strengths all too well.

Can the Warhammer Kingdom, which is just slightly stronger, solve a problem that they cannot solve themselves?

This question, Hudson couldn't answer. In the military, the determining factor of victory or defeat is often that small difference.

...

"Your Marshal, are you all prepared to launch this war so soon?"

Hudson asked with concern.

He didn't object to the Moxi People wanting to lift the siege of Dapes, as long as the Moxi People could restrain the Bimon Army Corps.

After such a long time, the Bimon Army Corps, which had initially suffered no small losses, has completed their replenishment. Although their combat strength has not returned to its peak period, it has returned to ninety percent.

Facing a full squadron of the Bimon cavalry corps, anyone would feel their scalp prickle when they meet them face to face.

There are certainly forces that can directly confront them. The Knight Corps, composed of pure cultivators, can compete with the Bimon Cavalry.

Unfortunately, the number of Knight Corps is too small.

Even with tens of thousands of troops in the Expeditionary Army, Hudson never thought about forming a Knight Corps.

It's not that he can't form one, it's mainly that forcibly forming a Knight Corps would drain the core power of other corps.

Nobles with Knight Corps may not necessarily be the most powerful militarily, but they must certainly be the richest.

Just considering cost-effectiveness, the expense of a thousand-man Knight Corps surpasses that of a regular ten thousand-man army corps.

The same funds could be used to form at least three to four cavalry corps. If the selection criteria are raised, the final cost will be even greater.

Despite the high costs, everyone is still drawn to them, which naturally has its unique appeal.

Superior combat power, high mobility, long-range rushing capabilities...are all advantages of the Knight Corps.

As the First Duchy of the Continent, the Moxi People naturally have their own Knight Corps. Unfortunately, several Knight Corps were heavily damaged in the battle for Augustusburg.

This is the official statement, and the actual situation has been strictly kept secret by all the major nobles. Whether they were really damaged, or preserving strength, Hudson was not sure.

Furthermore, there are strengths and weaknesses between Knight Corps. Some Knight Corps are composed purely of knights, while others include warriors.

Setting aside the profession, a Knight Corps composed of Junior Knights can definitely not compare with one composed of Intermediate Knights.

The difference in combat power between them could be several times, and they definitely can't be generalized.

Hudson was unaware of the strength of the Moxi People's Knight Corps, but he had personally experienced the combat power of the Bimon Cavalry.

The last time they concentrated their elites to encircle and wipe out an incomplete Bimon Cavalry Corps of fatigued soldiers, they suffered no small losses.

Now, if he were to face a complete Bimon Cavalry Regiment, that would be too difficult.

Perhaps the Expeditionary Army could stop the Bimon Cavalry's charge by adopting a large formation, but they would have no chance of defeating the Bimon Cavalry, and they couldn't even stop them.

"Your Excellency the Earl, the first batch of supplies assisted by the Human Alliance are on the way.

However, the Department of Foreign Affairs and several neighboring countries have coordinated, they will first lend us some strategic materials, and then the subsequent materials transported by the Alliance will be used to repay them.

At present, these materials have entered our country. For the sake of safety, we are currently adopting small quantities and multiple transports.

For the sake of our friendship, the Expeditionary Army will be one of the first armies to receive replenishments.

As for the issue of the losses of the Expeditionary Army, we can provide a corps of new troops as a supplement."

Hudson didn't take Hodge's words to heart. "Friendship" was pure nonsense. If it weren't for the Expeditionary Army's remarkable military achievements, they wouldn't possibly enjoy such treatment.

Like the Orton Duchy and Ruilin Kingdom, which also dispatched expeditionary armies, their armies were just wiped out. Even if there was a remaining force, the Moxi People did not help them restore their formation.

Ultimately, it was all about interests.

Like the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Army led by Hudson, they could fight, which was of great strategic significance to the Moxi Duchy. Even if it was not their own army, they would be well treated for the sake of national security.
