Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Skull and Bones Society

Too optimistic. I don't know where this confidence comes from, Hudson always felt that everyone around him had a honey confidence, as if counterinsurgency was as simple as digging for something.

However, looking back at the Skull and Bones Club's record, Hudson also had nothing to say. As a veteran cult organization in the Alpha Kingdom, it is completely common for the Skeleton Society to be opposed.

Basically, every few years, there will be a wave. Then, every time, it was fierce in the early stage, and it collapsed in the later stage, but it didn't make any achievements.

Almost every old nobleman has personally participated in the suppression of the rebellion of the Skull and Bones Society. In the face of a group of defeated men, it is reasonable to be full of confidence.

Such old losers, it is no wonder that Earl Pierce dared to let them do things before. If it weren't for the Blood Moon Horn, it is estimated that everyone would still be fighting now.

Looking at everyone's reactions, it is estimated that most people are suspicious of the "Blood Moon Horn". Including Hudson was no exception, except after the initial shock, it was also suspected that the Earl of Pierce deliberately threw it in order to divert the pressure.

After all, the "Blood Moon Horn" is sealed in the Papal States, and there are guards from the Knights of the Inquisition, so can the Skeleton Society's rats steal out?

Even if it was really stolen, the Papal States wouldn't have no reaction at all, would they?

If this kind of shocking scandal spreads, the church will not be able to hold it back.

Leave it alone, tithes, do you want to collect them? The book of indulgence, do you want to sell it?

Looking at the reaction of the clergy in the southeastern province, we can see that the Holy See attaches absolute importance to the Blood Moon Horn. As soon as I received the news, and before I could even determine whether it was true or not, a priest and a templar rushed over.

You must know that in the past civil wars of the Terrans, the Holy See was absolutely neutral. Even if they spend a lot of money on a few priests, they are only responsible for treating the injured nobles.

How the truth is, Hudson doesn't care. The joining of the church is definitely a good thing for the coalition forces, which means that everyone's lives are more secure.

Even if it turns out that the news is false, it is the Earl of Pierce who goes to explain to the church, and the board cannot hit him, the little knight.

In Hudson's view, arranging for the Fifth Army to transport grain and grass was not exactly about wearing small shoes.

In any case, someone has to be responsible for transporting the grain and grass. Among the five armed forces, the Fifth Army is the weakest, and from an overall point of view, it is also the Fifth Army that is most suitable to undertake this task.

Not only does it take into account the overall situation, but it can also divide the small and medium-sized nobles by the way, and stand in the position of Governor Pierce, which is simply a double win.

Listening to the crowd's incessant expletives, Hudson chose to be a quiet listener. Although the escort of grain and grass does not make much credit, it is better to be safe and secure.

Leaving aside the other troops, his 10th Regiment would not be able to go to the battlefield anyway. Even if it is worse, the 10th Regiment is one of the worst regiments in the coalition forces.

After the addition of 600 serf soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the army remained unchanged. He was not pulled back, and that was because the soldier saw blood once.

If you want to form combat effectiveness, you must either go through a period of running-in training; Or send it to the battlefield, tempered in blood and fire.

……

Maybe it was because Hudson was too carefree, or maybe he was sprayed faceless by his subordinates, in order to divert his attention, Chels opened his mouth and asked, "Hudson, what do you think?" ”

Hearing "how to see", Hudson's heart was broken. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to reply with a sentence of "sit and watch".

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, everything has happened. It would be useless to discuss this now, and we will not be able to change the decision of the Governor's Palace at all.

The military orders to escort grain and grass have come down, and all we can do is to transport grain and grass and make as much war achievements as possible. ”

Originally, Hudson was going to say that he was going to take advantage, but when he saw that everyone's faces were not good, he temporarily changed it to a war exploit.

From the moment he received the military order, Hudson was thinking about how to maximize his interests. Let him, a poor ghost, transport grain and grass, isn't this forcing people to go to Liangshan?

If he doesn't scrape a layer of oil down, won't it seem that he has no level?

From the very beginning, Hudson did not expect to be able to lead a rabble of rabble to slaughter all sides on the battlefield and make an immortal achievement.

"It's easy to say, but how can military merit be so easy to obtain?"

I don't know if I didn't hear the meaning of the words, or if I was possessed by the baron, Baron Brogit on the side directly scolded.

Rolling his eyes, Hudson decided not to be like a reckless man, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Brogitt, the Governor only ordered us to transport grain and grass, but there is no rule that we cannot go out and do side jobs.

The rebels now sit on the land of two counties, so they can't gather all the horses together, right?

The main forces of the rebels were all dragged by the four armies in front, and the rear was bound to be empty.

In addition to completing the escort mission, it will not be difficult for us to recover a few rebel-controlled towns by the way. ”

Hudson's words brightened the eyes of the originally desperate crowd. Recovering a few rebel-controlled towns is certainly not a great feat, but is it a matter of feat?

Recovering lost territory is secondary, and robbing the rebels of wealth is the key. For the aristocracy, going to the battlefield was for two purposes: "military merit" and "wealth".

Now there is not much hope for military achievements, so you can only find a way to get rich. It can be said that in order to boost the morale of his allies, Hudson also broke his heart.

……

Dadir City, as the starting place of the rebels, used to be a prosperous place with a lot of traffic, but now only the autumn breeze remains.

Fighting the world and governing the world are completely two different concepts. It is a pity that the Skull and Bones Society, as a cult organization, has no concept of governing the world at all.

In the City Lord's Mansion, a group of high-ranking Skeleton Guild officials were glaring angrily, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.

"High Priest, shouldn't you explain the loss of troops under the fortress of Ethel?"

The purple-robed middle-aged man at the head of the left took the lead.

"Explanation, what kind of explanation do you want?"

"You ......"

The gray-robed old man's indifferent answer made the purple-robed man speechless. The atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, and a fight broke out as he saw it, and the masked man sitting on the main seat suddenly interrupted:

"That's it! You are all middle and high-level members, and you still want to make a fuss like children, is this like words?

However, although Iman did not listen to it, it was good that the battle of the fortress of Ethel, the high priest really deserved us an explanation. ”

Seeing Gu Ren speak, the originally arrogant gray robe instantly changed color, and he hurriedly explained: "Holy Lord, the battle of Ethel Fortress is because I was too greedy.

Originally, he thought that the nobles were used to intrigue and that reinforcements would not arrive on the same day, so he designed to lure out the Crimson Knights, wanting to rely on the power of the holy weapon to wipe them out of the rest of the city.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's reinforcements came so quickly that we were caught off guard.

But we don't suffer in this battle. Although the army was almost wiped out, all the losses were cannon fodder. Exchange these cannon fodder for enemy ......"
