As a promise-minded lord, Hudson immediately set about assembling a transport brigade after promising to deliver to his door.

Fortunately, the situation in Wright and Wyton has stabilized, and the nobles who have been beaten by Earl Pierce himself are now very peaceful.

Otherwise, there is a risk of being stolen, and no matter how rich the profits are, Hudson will not dare to leave the lair with the team.

Even now, it is necessary to be prepared for the precautions that should be taken. Knowing that no one dares to do anything does not mean that no one will destroy it secretly.

In this context, the main force still has to stay in the lair to be able to deter the villain. In the event of an emergency, it can also organize an effective counterattack.

In this context, the use of mercenaries is inevitable. Nominally, the freight is borne by the other party, but in practice, it is a package price, such as a certain percentage of the price of the product.

Specifically, it should be determined according to the actual situation, and the freight cost of fighting with the skeleton and not fighting must not be a standard.

In these respects, the aristocracy is usually more particular. Hudson did all the business, everyone just talked about a rough idea, and the specific details were all up to consciousness.

There has never been a fuss, and even the most slashing nobles rarely play tricks in these aspects.

Of course, this has something to do with Hudson's too strong side. Monopoly sellers can always have more say in the transaction.

Hudson restrained his greed and did not take the opportunity to exploit it fiercely, which is also the reason why these transactions can go smoothly.

If you meet someone who has a relationship, you will inevitably give a preferential price. In terms of network maintenance, Hudson also made a bloody investment.

"Tom, send for each of these letters to be delivered. By the way, give me an appointment with Baron Caitley, and we will hunt in the mountains tomorrow! ”

Hudson of the transport brigade was only prepared to send out a hundred elites, and all the rest were hired by the noble private army. It's nothing more than a matter of money, and not all knights are as expensive as the appearance fee of his "Divine Bow Knight".

"Yes, sir!"

……

Maple Leaf Collar, Baron Caitley, who is a good neighbor, couldn't help but exclaim after receiving the invitation:

"What are you kidding, your lord, inviting me to go hunting tomorrow?

It was not strange for the nobles to hunt together, but it was all by appointment in advance.

Tomorrow will be announced, and this kind of temporary invitation cannot be said to be absent, but it will only happen between nobles who have better relations.

If the relationship is not in place, and someone has no time to refuse the invitation after sending it, it will be embarrassing.

If I count the dealings I have had with Hudson, none of them have been comfortable, let alone friendship.

What kind of misunderstanding can make the other party think that we have a good relationship?

Baron Caitley was puzzled.

"Yes, honorable Baron Caitlet. My lord said that you will definitely participate, otherwise you will definitely regret it in the future. ”

The messenger's original relays made Baron Ketteley more and more puzzled. Isn't it just a hunt, and if you don't participate, you'll regret it, as if something really happened.

It was determined that the soldier who delivered the letter knew nothing, and Caitley did not bother to waste time on him, and sent him away.

"Uncle Holman, you said that Hudson's profiteer was playing a bad idea this time. You can't invite me to hunt with you tomorrow just to show off his amazing archery skills, right? ”

It can be seen that he has no good impression of Baron Hudson Kettley. Heroes will only cherish heroes, and no one will cherish a profiteer.

has been cheated continuously, and now he even dislikes the mountain collar, let alone Hudson, the initiator.

"It's not for sure, maybe he's just showing off his archery skills. In fact, none of this is important, being able to get close to each other and touch each other's strength is also a big gain.

Maybe this Baron Hudson has other plans, but it can't be against you if you send someone to invite you in a bright way, right?

Everyone has no grievances, even if it is a little small, it is also a loss for us, and he can't deal with you. ”

Knight Holman replied calmly.

The aristocracy has its own aristocratic rules of the game, and inviting people to their own homes to kill the killer is a super stupid thing that even the most brutal nobleman will not do.

Don't say that everyone is not an enemy yet, even if it is really a life-and-death relationship, there is no such fun.

……

"What, your lord invited me to go to Arbor County with you?"

"My poor cousin must have a brain in water. Knowing that there were skeletons that would haunt him, he dared to go to Arbor County at this time. ”

"What do you say, take twenty guards, run a round trip for fifteen days/one hundred gold coins, the employer is responsible for the expenses along the way, and the combat expenses incurred are calculated separately, and the losses are borne by the employer?

Wait, I think you can also consider it, and if there are a lot of participants, you can actually take a risk. ”

It's definitely not that he Adrian Knight is shallow-eyed, it's really the other party who gives too much. The normal employment market price is absolutely impossible to be so high.

Looking at the twenty elite guards alone, it is only a hundred silver coins per day, and the employment price is only slightly higher, but the problem is that the combat costs are calculated separately, and the losses are all borne by the employer. (1 Gold = 15 Credits)

Mercenaries charge a lot of money, because they are exchanging their lives for money, and all the casualties are borne by themselves.

A conscientious employer like Hudson who compensates for losses, the entire continent of Aslant can't find a second one.

However, this also reflects from the side that the risk of this operation will not be too high, at least it will not cause a large number of casualties, otherwise it is impossible for his shrewd cousin to promise to compensate for the loss.

"Yes, honorable Adrian Knight. The content of the letter is a promise made by my grandfather.

In addition to you, there are more than a dozen noble lords, who have been invited at the same time.

Our lord will also personally lead the army to participate in the escort, and ensure that the number of knights participating in this operation will not be less than ten, so the safety you are worried about is not a problem. ”

Looking at the confident herald, Adrian became more and more firm in his judgment. Most of them were wronged and paid to buy their cousins.

The Skeleton Society is indeed powerful, but it is only a group of remnants, and there must not be too many of them.

Escorted by a dozen knights + hundreds of elite soldiers, it is enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

After all, this world is the world of nobles after all, and once a fight starts, it will soon attract the attention of the surrounding noble lords.

As long as it's not a one-sided battle, reinforcements will soon arrive on the battlefield.

No matter how powerful the masters of the Skull and Bones Society are, they won't be able to kill them as soon as they come up, right?

If it's so awesome, the outcome of the last big war has been reversed, so why hide XZ everywhere.

If you can't touch the enemy, then earn some hard money to fill the shriveled pocket.

If you run into an enemy and leave them behind, it's blood.

Not only can you earn money from your employer, but you also have a bounty from the Doge's Palace. If you kill the big people in it, you can also record a military exploit.

Although there are no new territories to divide for the time being, no one will have too many military merits. Even if you enter the kingdom's army to serve, those who have military merits on their heads will be given a higher position.

In normal times, it has little effect, but in wartime, the level of military rank will directly affect the survival rate on the battlefield.

"Tell Hudson that I took the deal. In the future, I have this kind of good business, and he will continue to take care of me. ”

Knight Adrian replied with a big grin.

Unlike Hudson, who was worried about being burglarized, he had no worries about that. The unlucky ones who sneaked up on his Adrian lord's territory in the past are still busy licking their wounds.

Let's do another wave, and that is when Earl Pierce is dead. The fact that the result of the Governor's personal ruling, which was not overturned by the Governor himself, dared to overturn it without authorization, was a provocation to the Governor's majesty.

This kind of iron and Han does not exist in the southeastern provinces. Even if a nobleman dares to fight against the governor, it is within the scope of the rules, and he is against him.

If you break the rules and provoke the majesty of the Governor, feel the power of the Iron Fist of the Kingdom.

A similar scene was staged in many territories. Although it was not as exaggerated as Adrian's Knights, they were still defeated under the gold coins overall.

Maybe everyone is not as domineering as Adrian Knight, and directly teaches the neighbors a profound lesson, but there are few like Hudson who are afraid of being stolen.

The reason is very simple, the invitees are a bunch of poor ghost knights. The most important wealth of the territory is the serf, but no one dares to touch these things now.

The land is there, and it can't be moved. Goods such as livestock and farm tools can be left at the neighbor's house before leaving.

Unless it is a cult attack, no nobleman will look at this kind of poor ghost territory that can't squeeze oil.

If you really encounter a cult attack, then you should run faster. Because whether they are there or not, it will not affect the result.

If you are not at home, you can also avoid the obligation of defending the land. Afterwards, you can also find an employer to help suppress it, after all, the aristocracy is a human society.

Nominally, Hudson was hiring guards, so how could he not be giving favors in a different way of thinking?

In just half a month, running back and forth, the money for farm tools and daily necessities was earned, and this kind of good work is rare.

Without a certain amount of friendship, it will not be a turn at all.

……

In the sunny Salaam Mountains, only a few sounds of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" were heard, and a bunch of geese fell in the sky.

If you look closely, you will find that the arrows came from 300 meters away, and even though only five arrows flew out, thirteen geese fell, and the most amazing thing is that these arrows passed through the heads of geese.

How this unreasonable scene was done, no one knows, anyway, the facts are in front of them.

"Baron Hudson, what a good archery! Looking at the entire Alpha Kingdom, I am afraid that I will not be able to find anyone who can compare with Your Excellency.

Even in the entire human race, there are few people who can reach the level of your Excellency, and perhaps only some marksmen in the elven race can compete with your Excellency. ”

It wasn't Baron Caitley who deliberately touted it, but the scene in front of him really stunned him.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Crawling and rolling on the battlefield in the northern frontier, he is not unheard of by the archers, but he is still unheard of such unreasonable archery skills as Hudson.

You must know that from firing the bow to releasing the arrow, Hudson was unprepared from beginning to end, and he did it completely casually.

Not only is the hit rate against the sky, but the most incredible thing is that the five arrows are fired in a row, and they don't need to stop, as if they don't need to aim.

Such an existence, once it appears on the battlefield, is completely slaughter.

Especially the range of the arrows, Kettelay clearly felt that more than 300 meters was not the limit. The arrow only flew so far that it was completely prey.

Such precise force control should not have happened to humans at all. Even the best elves at shooting are rarely able to do this.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the strength of the archers is usually proportional to their own strength, and the archers of the army are often composed of the strongest soldiers.

The elven strongbow in Hudson's hand, Baron Caitley has also seen it in the Northlands, and without the strength of the Great Knight, he is simply not satisfied. If you want to retract and release freely, the requirements for strength are even greater.

Although Hudson was not full, Baron Caitley did not think he was dissatisfied. Hudson's calmness in the process of shooting alone has infinitely elevated his status in Baron Caitley's mind.

There is no explanation, it is meant to be forced. Naturally, the more bluffing the better, as for whether it will scare the audience, then it doesn't matter to him.

"Baron Caitley, it's a bad one. The Crouching Tiger is a hidden dragon in the continent of Aslant, and the legendary arrow saint shoots out the dragon with an arrow. My little skill can only be dominated in a small place like the southeastern province. ”

Hudson said unceremoniously, without the slightest shame, as if he really had the strength.

Comparing and pretending to be a legendary character, Baron Caitley did not feel disobedient at all. Judging by Hudson's current strength, it may not be a new legend. 、

It should have been a happy event to witness the birth of the legend, but as a good neighbor, Baron Caitley, was not happy at all.

Since ancient times, it has been inevitable to be associated with legendary characters and become a foil.

Even though Baron Caitley was interested in his abilities, he was still shaken at this moment. Tiny Wright County can't hold two dragons.

The Baron Sith had already put enough pressure on him, and now this strong neighbor who should have been at ease to cultivate the land showed his fangs again.

"Baron Hudson, you invited me here today, it can't be really for hunting, right?"

Baron Caitley asked, confused.

Stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. Just ask directly, too lazy to waste time here.

"Haha......"

"Baron Caitley, still so fast-talking. To tell you the truth, inviting you over today is really something to discuss.

Recently I was going to go on a long trip, as short as 15 days or as long as a month. During this period, it is inevitable that some young people will come over to do things.

The mountain territory is remote, surrounded by mountains on three sides and plains on one side. The only way suitable for the march of the army is the Maple Leaf Lead, so please ask the neighbors to take care of it a little more, and don't let all the messy people in.

As good neighbors, we share hardships together, so I don't think Baron Caitleter will refuse this little favor, right? ”

Listening to Hudson's shameless demand, Baron Caitley almost fainted.

Is this an attitude of asking for help?

It's clearly a naked threat.

He's so unlucky, just stuck outside the gateway of the mountain collar, and he has to act as a goalkeeper for free?

But Baron Caitley didn't dare to refuse, the lethality of the phrase "suffering together" was too great, and Hudson clearly relied on him.

I almost told him directly that if something happened to the mountain leader, the maple leaf leader would have to be unlucky with him.

If it weren't for the strength of the person in front of him, Baron Caitley would have been eager to hack this shameless man to death on the spot, but unfortunately he was not an impulsive person after all.

"Hudson, are you going to eat me?"

Baron Caitley said through gritted teeth.

It can be seen that he was really angry this time, and directly began to call his name, and even the word baron was omitted.

"I'm sorry, Baron Caitley. Actually, I don't want to do that.

But there is no way, the enemy hidden in the shadows is really difficult to defend against before he emerges.

And the Maple Leaf Collar is in front of you, as long as you get your Excellency, the enemy will not be able to pass. ”

Hudson said with a look of shame.

The deep apology is overflowing, but it is a pity that he does not change his decision. Whether Baron Caitley wanted to or not, he had to be forced to act as a goalkeeper.

They were all forced out, and for the sake of territorial safety, Hudson could only be shameless once.

As long as Baron Caitley doesn't let the enemy in, there is no road to the other mountain trails. Trying to get around from the vast Salaam Mountains is not an ordinary challenge.

If you accidentally get lost along the way, it is estimated that Hudson will turn back from Arbor County, and the enemy may not be able to touch the gate of the mine.

"Baron Hudson, you are so deceitful, aren't you afraid that I will die and the net will be broken?"

Baron Caitley said resentfully.

If eyes could kill, Hudson would have been cut and skinned and cramped by a thousand cuts.

"Your Excellency wouldn't do that. Even if the mountain collar is attacked, I will suffer heavy losses at most.

No matter how much destruction can be carried out, it is nothing more than the loss of some money and food, and no one will dare to slaughter all the serfs in the territory, right?

With my name, there are people who are willing to give charcoal in the snow. With the support of the family, it will be able to recover in a year or two at most.

But Your Excellency is different, if you fail once, you will have nothing. Even if your family is willing to continue to provide support, it will not quench your thirst.

If you don't have the three hundred elites in your hands, not only will your Excellency have no place to stand in Wrightshire, but it is also unknown whether you will be able to return to the Northland alive.

After all, when you entered Leyteshire, you didn't offend one or two.

Maybe they don't dare to do anything when your Excellency is strong, but these people definitely don't lack the courage to fall into the ground! ”

Hudson said indifferently.

His eyes were fixed on Baron Caitley, as if waiting for a final answer.

He knew that the more times like this, the more he couldn't back down. Any act of giving in will make the other party suspicious.
