Chapter 34: The Hard-Working Hudson
The coalition command, Count Pierce, who received the news, did not behave like a thunderbolt.
If the aristocracy is settled, is it still a nobleman?
After suffering such a big loss, if the Fifth Army does not react, it will be a big problem.
Going out to rob was serious in Hudson's eyes, but it was not a big deal in the eyes of Earl Pierce.
How can there be an army that does not rob?
All the noble lords brought their own dry food to the battlefield, and they were not allowed to rob, so what did they get back?
It doesn't matter if you lose money once or twice, if you lose blood eight times out of ten, no matter how big your business is, you will be tossed and bankrupt.
In Earl Peirce's opinion, as long as the grain and grass can be delivered on time, everything else is a minor problem.
The conceptual generation gap cannot be reversed in a while, even if Hudson has worked hard to fit into the world.
But after all, he only came to this world for a few months, which is really insignificant compared to the decades of his previous life.
Behaviour can change, but mentality still has to be affected. This is an advantage as well as a disadvantage.
It is mainly a matter of circles, and after crossing over, it is the little nobles that come into contact with it, and the objects that Hudson imitates and learns from are also small nobles.
Without standing at a certain height, it is difficult to understand the thoughts of the big shots.
"James, send someone to inform the Fifth Army and order them to speed up their march. By the way, let them know, I already know the matter, let them see for themselves! ”
Pierce said with a sneer.
Now is not the time to calculate, the rebels are more cunning than expected, and many traps have been laid along the way, making the coalition forces miserable.
If it weren't for the griffin cavalry reconnaissance and the discovery of the enemy's conspiracy in advance, it would have suffered a big loss.
Against a group of unscrupulous enemies, reaching the city of Dadir in three days was obviously an impossible task.
……
Hudson, who was pulled up from his sleep, looked at Earl Pierce's military order, and the whole person was speechless.
Warn him that there is a use in, who knows where the army of robbers went?
If you really want to find someone, it is far more efficient to send griffon cavalry to scout in the sky than to find it slowly on the ground.
However, doing such a disgraceful thing, it is estimated that his unreliable allies have also covered it up. Even if it is a griffin cavalry, it is difficult to detect it if you don't look at it closely.
"Knight Shirudi, I'm also looking for the Legion Commander, but I don't have any clues.
Nearly all the officers of the Fifth Army are missing, and you see that this chaotic team may collapse at any moment, how can you speed up the march?
Why don't you go back and speak to the Earl, and ask him to send a hundred knights over as officers, and the speed of the march will be increased in no time. ”
Hudson said with a look of grievance.
I don't know, I don't know, I still don't know.
As a qualified nobleman, how can he betray his companions?
As long as he is not tortured to extract confessions, he Hudson is the most tight-mouthed ally. No one should want to know from him that the Fifth Army was out to rob.
Even if he had been discovered by Earl Pierce, Hudson would have to pretend to be confused to the end. If he dares to be held accountable, he will be rotten.
The current grain brigade is a mess, and the battle on the front line is on the verge of breaking out, and Hudson does not believe that Earl Pierce can really send hundreds of knights to clean up the mess.
There is no pick-up man, so he can only let him, the "pastemaker", do it first. No matter how slow the march was, it would still preserve the logistics.
If you make a rash substitution and collapse the team, this expedition will only be fruitless.
"Knight Hudson, are you threatening the Earl?"
Knight Shirudi, who heard the meaning of the words, asked angrily.
"Nope! Knight Hiluddy, I'm just stating a fact.
The whereabouts of many officers of the Fifth Army are unknown, leaving me, the unlucky bastard, to clean up the mess.
You can go to the army and take a look, the camp is full of serfs, and not a single qualified soldier can be seen.
I am now commanding a group of serfs who have just laid down their hoes, not an army. To demand them by the standards of the army is too harsh.
I have done everything I can to ensure that I can travel twenty miles a day. If you want to speed up, you can only ask His Excellency the Earl to send officers over and rectify military discipline. ”
Hudson tried to quibble.
It is not impossible to speed up the march and betray the allies, but it is necessary to add money.
Without enough benefits, he will not be a traitor. It's just that these are obviously not up to the Knight of Hiludi to call the shots.
"Humph!"
"I will report today's events to His Excellency the Earl. Hope the Hudson Knights don't regret it! ”
Knight Shirudi said angrily.
However, his anger did not last long before he was quelled by a small box full of gold coins. The originally cloudy face finally showed a smile.
As if to say, wouldn't it be okay to do this earlier, can you act like this?
After hesitating for a moment, Knight Shiludi said slowly: "The matter of the Fifth Army is too big, and His Excellency the Earl is very angry. But that's their fault.
Hudson Knight, you have been able to rise to the occasion and turn the tide in the midst of adversity, and I am sure that Your Excellency Earl will be glad to know it. ”
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Hudson endured the pain and said, "This still needs the support of Knight Shiludi." After this is done, the Coslow family will definitely be grateful! ”
Although he can only represent himself now, it does not prevent Hudson from making empty checks. As for how to fulfill the promise afterwards, we will be optimistic when the time comes. Who let his portion not be enough?
There are two official words, and the same thing is said from different mouths, and the nature is completely different.
Hudson, however, was well versed in history and knew the consequences of offending the Messenger. Even if there is a bad capital, who is willing to really put it badly until it is absolutely necessary?
As a sign of respect for Earl Pierce, Hudson decided to increase the marching mileage by 0.5 miles starting tomorrow.
It can't be any more, there is no additional money, it is really unmotivated.
In the presence of Knight Hiluddy, before dawn, Hudson ordered his soldiers to get up and make a fire to cook, proving that he had done his best.
At the suggestion of someone with a heart, the soldiers performed directly in their true colors. The chaotic scene was as lively as a vegetable market, and the knights of Shiludi who watched it had nothing to say.
With such a team to transport grain and grass, it is a talent if it does not collapse. It is not easy to guarantee that you can travel 20 miles a day.
Looking at Hudson again, the eyes of the Herodi Knight were already much more eager. Unlike the previous pure interest transactions, now I really want to make friends.
No. N of the rule of aristocratic survival: Make friends with capable people, so that you can make better progress.
Lang is affectionate, concubine is intentional, the two sides hit it off, and soon rose from strangers who never knew each other to an uncle-nephew relationship.
Thinking of this, Hudson was also drunk. It seems that since the expedition to the present, he has increased his uncle by double digits.
