In the evening, an urgent letter shattered the tranquility of the castle.

The Skull Society launched a rebellion in the city of Dadir, and many nobles, including the Viscount of Alphonse, were slaughtered, and the governor of the southeastern province, Count Pierce, was furious and ordered the nobles of the province to be called in to quell the rebellion.

The sequelae of news blockage broke out at this moment. It was clear that the Skull and Bones rebellion had been going on for more than a month, but the Coslow family knew nothing.

The conscription orders were all in hand, and Baron Redman did not know the situation on the front line, so he could only passively accept the order.

In fact, you don't need intelligence to know the gravity of the situation. If it is an ordinary rebellion, the surrounding lords will join forces and be hanged, and there is no need to recruit the whole province at all.

A barony conscripted five hundred men, and the last time a mobilization of this intensity was an orc invasion a hundred years ago, but that was based on the premise of preparing in advance.

Now giving such an order, in Hudson's opinion, the Earl of Pierce is most likely so angry that the collapse situation is in the water.

The army is not stronger than the more numerous, and the army of five hundred untrained serfs is not as effective as the castle guards.

In particular, there are only three days left for everyone to prepare, which is the biggest failure. Regardless of anything else, weapons, armor, food and grass must be prepared, right?

This kind of purely compulsory recruitment, the boss is not responsible for taking care of the food, the food, grass, and materials are all raised by everyone, and it is no wonder that the people below have no grievances.

"The situation is urgent, Hudson, what do you think of this call-up?"

Baron Redman asked with a headache.

The two older sons are absent and are now in trouble, so they can only pull Hudson, who seems to have some military talent, to make up the numbers.

As for the rest of the realm, it is a pity that Baron Redman is a traditional nobleman and is not in the habit of consulting with commoners.

"Father, the situation is still unclear, and it is not appropriate to invest in the main force of the family to participate in the war.

The conscription order only requires 500 troops, so 500 young men will be selected for a little training to complete this conscription. ”

Hudson replied cautiously.

Don't look at the fact that he only has a team of dozens of people, the family foundation that Baron Redman has accumulated for decades will not be able to recover in ten or eight years once it is exhausted.

In contrast, the serf army was worthless, and even if it lost a few hundred people, it could not shake the foundation of its own rule.

For the aristocracy, war was not all bad, at least it could consume the surplus population.

"Well, Dadir City is one of the largest cities in the southeastern province, and the strength of the local nobles is not weak, but it was actually served by the rebels, and things will naturally not be simple.

It's a pity that I received the message too late, if you prepare early and train an elite team, maybe your noble title will be lost. ”

Baron Redman said regretfully.

The opportunity appeared, but because he was not fully prepared, he could not grasp it, which was obviously a tragedy for a person.

Of course, this is just a sigh, if he really asks Baron Redman to fight, he may not be able to do it.

At the end of the day, the Coslow family already wears shoes, and even if the shoes are not so comfortable, it is difficult to make up their minds to take a gamble.

"Father, don't be sad. There is no shortage of opportunities in this world, and even if there are no opportunities, opportunities can be created, and the key is strength.

There should be a lot of people staring at this rebellion, and the rebels can grow quickly, and I am afraid that there will be people behind them.

With our strength, even if we make great achievements on the battlefield, we will at most be divided into one or two knight leaders.

This Earl of Pierce is not very good-looking, and it is not easy to follow him to get ahead. ”

Hudson said with a sneer.

He had never killed a pig himself, and he had seen a pig run.

The rebellion broke out for more than a month, not only did the army not organize to quell the rebellion, but even the news did not spread, and it would have been impossible without the deliberate indulgence of Count Pierce.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

The inheritance left by the nobles has obviously been targeted for a long time. It's just that limited by the rules of the game, there is no way to "eat small fish".

The Skeleton Guild's rebellion just coincided with the occasion, giving these guys an opportunity. Against this backdrop, how dare Hudson take prey?

"You don't think well of Earl Pierce?"

Baron Redman asked, confused.

After a few months of getting along, he had long since discovered that Hudson was not something in the pool. As for the previous mediocrity, it seemed to him that it was deliberately clumsy.

After all, Hudson is only the third son in the family, and if he performs too well, not only will his stepmother be unbearable, but even the eldest son will look at him unpleasantly.

Now that you have to go out and set up your own door, these problems are no longer a problem, and it is also the right thing to show your ability to fight for family resources.

I don't know about the cheap father's brain supplement, anyway, Hudson's voice in the mansion has increased a lot recently, and being able to discuss late at night with Baron Redman is a reflection of this.

"The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

Earl Pierce's plan seems to be perfect, and the use of the knife to kill people is so perfect that people can't grasp the handle. But in the world of aristocracy, why do you need evidence?

The most simple logic: whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the one behind the scenes.

Even if they can grab the fattest meat this time, they can be valued as the twelve fiefdom earls of the kingdom, how much strength can they increase?

For the sake of this little benefit, arousing the hostility of the nobles under his command will completely outweigh the losses.

You must know that among the nobles who were destroyed, there were still many of them who were vassals. I don't dare to serve such a master. ”

Hudson said mockingly.

Mouth cannon party, he is a professional. When I wanted to be a keyboard warrior, I sprayed everything.

No matter what, as long as you want to spray, you can find a bunch of reasons.

Fiddling with these now, there is only one purpose - to fool Baron Redman into paddling in the next war.

It's a bit immoral, but it's safe!

Anyway, he is not a vassal of Earl Pierce, so he is not obliged to die for him. Even if they are drafted, they have a high degree of autonomy.

"Got it, I'll think about it again."

Baron Redman said with a slight hesitation.

No matter what kind of person Earl Pierce is, and no matter what his future holds, he is still the boss of the southeastern provinces.

It still takes courage to disobey the yang and the yin under the nose of the boss. Unless it causes a collective boycott by small and medium-sized nobles, there is a high probability that the rafters that come out alone will rot first.

"Father, why don't you let me lead the troops this time? You're in charge of the territory, and if something happens, there's room to maneuver.

After all, this recruitment was too urgent, and it was estimated that everyone would not have time to prepare.

As long as the serfs are trained a little, and an army of goods can be seen, they can completely cope with the past when they are mixed in the large ranks. ”

Hudson pretended to be confident.
