King

Chapter 134: Divide and Conquer


"Despicable!"

"Shameless scoundrel!"

...

A shout of anger ignited the scene, and the crowd of Orcs eagerly joined in the verbal battle, directly cursing Hudson's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Although the bottom line in a racial war is quite low for everyone, leaving the main force aside to specifically bully the elderly, weak, women, and children in the rear is indeed a very explosive tactic.

The curses continued, but the Orcs did not doubt Hudson's ruthless character in the slightest. A similar tactic had happened once several years ago.

Learning from past lessons, as soon as this war erupted, the various Orc Races immediately decided to move their tribes inward.

Unfortunately, a greater distance only served as a psychological comfort. Facing a massive enemy invasion, small tribes might still manage to hide, but large tribes had no way to conceal themselves.

Herds of cattle and sheep, endless tents—all revealed their location.

Once discovered by the enemy's Air Force, disaster was not far off. The barren tribes inside couldn't resist enemy invasion.

On the racial battlefield, preserving military strength is not enough; the people must also be safeguarded.

If the rear tribes are slaughtered entirely by the enemy, even if they manage to eat up the Northern Route Army successfully, it would still be a disastrous defeat.

With no people left, no matter how glorious the victory on the battlefield, the fate of species decline, even extinction, cannot be avoided.

An unrestrained strike directly hit the soft underbelly of the Orc Empire.

Compared to this plan to wipe out races in one move, their tactic of picking off one by one seemed somewhat absurdly misaligned.

It's not that the tactic itself had problems, but errors appeared in the execution. The Empire's Army was not as powerful as anticipated and couldn't swiftly eat up an enemy troop, dooming the plan to failure.

"Alright, everyone!

The era is different now; it is the world of the Human Race.

The rules are all masterminded by them, and we can't hope to constrain them with rules. No matter how despicable the enemy's means are, we can only accept reality."

The Hawkman Emperor's words pierced the last veil over the situation.

From the moment the two camps formed, the continental rules became child's play. When the Empire was strong, Orcs also trampled the rules indiscriminately.

It was just that they were limited by their strength, worried about enraging the dominant Human Race, often not daring to go too far.

The Alpha Kingdom is different; it is part of the continent's dominant force. In striking different races, no matter what means are used, the Human Alliance would pretend not to see.

Want to lodge complaints? Impossible, not a single Orc could make it alive to the Human Alliance. Even less likely to present grievances against the Alpha Kingdom's atrocities at the Human Alliance Council.

Of course, they could ask their own leaders to step up. The problem is the battle has already started, and the face of the Elf Race doesn't count for much either.

"Hawk Emperor, if the enemy dares to annihilate our rear completely, then might as well let loose, send out the army to smash their lair!"

The Boar King's shouting did not spark any agreement.

Theoretically, this tactic of switching homes is sound; practically, it is fraught with difficulties.

On the vast grasslands, Cavalry can easily penetrate hundreds of miles.

The camp defense of nomadic civilization, compared with the fortress of farming civilization, is obviously not on the same level.

The enemy may massacre a hundred tribes, while they are unlikely to capture a single fortress.

Even playing the switch home game recklessly, the enemy would at most lose some border fortresses and regions.

Want to march on and annihilate the Alpha Kingdom? That was unattainable even during their heyday, now it's even less hopeful.

"Boar King, this matter requires careful deliberation.

Hudson's troops are most sinister; daring to send armies out in multiple directions, the rear must be prepared.

To launch a blitz on the enemy's forts might be exactly what Hudson wants.

We've already fallen for a scheme once; we can't continue following the enemy's lead, or else it would lead to endless troubles!"

The Elephantman King advised on the side.

Across the Orc Empire, the high-level Orcs present were all sages among their respective tribes.

But in terms of playing cunning strategies, the Human Race is evidently more adept.

Looking at internal political struggles, it's clear, that the Orc Empire is still in the barbaric era, often starting fights over disagreement.

Right or wrong doesn't matter; whoever wins is right anyway.

Without pressure from the Human Race, they wouldn't be able to sit peacefully together.

Knowing it's a weak spot, yet still insisting on showing off in this area, is purely asking for trouble.

"Hmph!

Deliberate long and hard, only to end fruitlessly.

I may know the success rate of attacking the enemy's rear is rather low, but some matters must be undertaken.

If the enemy recklessly slaughters, shouldn't we have any reaction?

Returning reinforcements now is stepping into the enemy's trap.

A single flanking force can't be taken down; facing the enemy's main force head-on, the Empire's odds are far too low.

The best option is still to avoid its edge, delay time, and wait for the Elf Army to attack the Alpha Kingdom, thereby reversing the Empire's strategic passivity.

However, with the current situation, if we choose to retreat, the enemy in front will follow right behind.

The position of the Empire's main force continuously exposed in front of the Human Race's eyes, how dangerous it is, you are well aware!"

The Boar King coldly stated.

Due to racial genetic influence, the Boar King's temperament had always been irritable, but this doesn't mean he is truly impulsive and reckless.

The attack on Alpha Kingdom territory is not merely for attack, but mainly to let the main force escape the enemy's sight.
