Chapter 60: The Difficulty of Dealing with the Aftermath

Seeing the Holy See's Dragoons appear in the sky, Hudson's heart also hangs, lest these plague gods find him.

For the sake of his life, Hudson casually threw the broken Blood Moon horn into a remote courtyard as if he were disposing of a lost trophy.

Everyone has done something like this before. The king's envoy promised a heavy reward, and in the process of looting, everyone deliberately kept an eye out for loot such as horns to see if they could touch the legendary "Blood Moon Horn".

The detection criteria are very simple, to see if there are any magic fluctuations. As a well-known evil weapon in the Aslant continent, it is not restrained, and you can feel the fluctuation of magic power from dozens of meters away.

Seeing the Wyvern landing on the street next door, Hudson pretended to be solemn and proposed: "Uncle Chels, the place where the people of the Holy See came down is where we just passed, and it is very likely that they are searching for the Blood Moon Horn.

The King's envoy is also looking for that thing, the matter is too big to hold, we little bodies can't hold it, so let's inform the Count as soon as possible! ”

Hudson was also very helpless when his allies were involved. But there is no way, who let this bad luck happen to them?

If it weren't for the bear child's quick reaction and timely snatching back the Blood Moon Horn, which sealed the breath with the mysterious compass in Hudson's body, the Fifth Army would probably have been bleeding by now.

How long can he hide it, Hudson's heart is not bottomed. Sealing the Blood Moon Horn does not mean that everything is fine, and no one can guarantee that it will not be sensed at close range.

Even with the Blood Moon Horn hidden, Hudson was still worried about setting himself on fire. After all, it involves the reputation of the Holy See, and killing people is the most routine operation.

Even if the Alpha Kingdom held them accountable afterwards and left all these plague gods behind, it would not bring the dead back to life.

Nodding slightly, he saw Chels take out a magic flare and shoot it directly into the air. A huge firework spawned in the air and lasted for two or three minutes before dissipating.

This is a pre-agreed contact method, and if there is a major discovery, a signal will be issued, and the nearby coalition soldiers who receive the information will immediately rush over to reinforce them.

Previously, when the rebel altar was discovered by coalition soldiers, a flare appeared in the sky. It's just that the nobles of the Fifth Army, who are bent on paddling, tacitly choose to pretend not to see it.

Now that the form has reversed, it is their turn to signal for help, and it is also unknown how many reinforcements will arrive in time.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Blood Moon Horn has not yet been revealed, and the people of the Holy See have no idea that it was hidden by Hudson, and it is not yet time to kill someone.

As it turned out, Hudson was simply overthinking. Seeing the signal flare lifted into the air, the reinforcements of the coalition forces had not yet arrived, but Karliss immediately gave the order.

"Withdraw!"

If you don't go, you can't go, you will appear in the city at this time, and once they are blocked by the coalition forces, they will not be able to say it at all.

Seeing the flying dragoons leave, the entire Fifth Army breathed a sigh of relief. Hating the Holy See doesn't mean that everyone wants to have a PK with the Holy See.

If you can't catch the evidence of the Holy See's support for the cult, the matter of the "Blood Moon Horn", the Alpha Kingdom will indeed suffer a sullen loss.

But for the small aristocracy, survival always comes first. For the kingdom, it is true that it has suffered a lot of losses, but the nobles present are the beneficiaries, and the real sufferers have already grown grass on their graves.

"The people of the Holy See have already left, and the Blood Moon Horn has also been taken away by them?"

An indifferent voice rang in his ears, pulling Hudson back to reality, and it was none other than the king's envoy, Count Vlado.

It's just that at this moment, his face is gloomy and terrible, and he has no intimacy at the military meeting that day, as if everyone owes him gold coins and does not pay them back.

"Your Excellency, the Wyvern-Cavalry of the Holy See, after a short stay here, left from the southeast.

Whether the Blood Moon Horn fell into the hands of the Holy See or remained in the hands of the rebels is uncertain for the time being.

However, before they arrived, we had searched several nearby streets, but found no sign of the Blood Moon Horn. ”

Knight Chelse replied solemnly.

Glancing at the crowd at the scene, Count Vlado, who did not find anything abnormal, sighed helplessly.

Deep down, he didn't think that the Fifth Army, which had killed the Papal cavalry, would lie about it.

Without the first time to seize the Blood Moon Horn from the rebels, Vlado was already hopeless and began to think about the aftermath.

As an envoy sent by the king, in addition to the "Blood Moon Horn" matter, it also includes dealing with post-war matters.

The southeastern provinces are fertile and densely populated, and they are among the richest provinces in the kingdom. This kind of good place naturally cannot be monopolized by a nobleman, otherwise it is easy to have a situation where the tail is too big to fall.

As one of the twelve fiefdoms of the king, the strength of the Dalton family is already very large, and what is revealed in this war is only the power on the surface.

The real war potential is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface. Including a group of nobles who participated in the war, except for a few who were shallow and poured out, most of them had spare strength.

Of course, it's not that they don't want to fight for the fiefdom with all their might, the main thing is that the children who are working hard outside are distributed in Tiannan and Haibei, and they can't be gathered for a while.

The erosion of the two counties of White and Leiden directly led to the breaking of the original political order. As the nobles of the southeastern provinces who put down this rebellion, they obviously want to take the biggest cake.

The unlucky nobles of the original two counties, except for a few families with deep backgrounds who were able to keep their territory, the rest of them were all removed.

This is determined by strength. Even if there is a direct bloodline heir, if you don't have enough strength, it will be difficult to hold your own territory.

Of course, according to the rules of the game between the nobles, everyone will not do things so desperately as soon as they come up.

As long as the inheritor can be a man, relying on the connections accumulated by his parents, he can still continue to support one or two generations. Theoretically, during this period, there is still hope that they will turn around.

But once there is a loser, or if you are unlucky, you will hang up on the battlefield, and your children will not be able to become knights if their cultivation talent is not good, so they will only be completely cool.

In the continent of Aslanth, where classes are severely entrenched, large-scale territorial annexations or the decline of large families often last for generations.

In any case, the increasing concentration of the territory of the southeastern provinces, and the further increase of the effect of the strong are inevitable.

In addition to these land snakes, some of the big nobles in the royal capital also want to get involved.

The eldest son inherited the family business, and the second son also had to arrange a good place to go. can take the opportunity to expand externally, and no one wants to split their original territory.

Thousands of interests are intertwined, just like a mess, cutting and cutting, and sorting out chaos.

How to balance the political structure of the post-war southeastern provinces on the premise of satisfying the interests of all parties as much as possible is an urgent problem for Count Vlado to solve now.
