Chapter 144, the hot potato

There was no rush to agree, and there was no outright refusal.

It's not buying and selling that catches up.

It was not enough for Baron Chels to make a single request, more people had to make similar demands.

Helping to train the troops cannot be practiced in vain.

Goods can not be collected, but after the outbreak of war, which side to join must be clearly defined.

Hudson didn't have the skills to train for others.

Not your own soldiers, do not follow yourself to the front.

Who is full enough to do such a thankless job?

The news that should be released has been released. Anyone with a little brain knows that something is probably going to happen in the north.

The orcs invaded south and brought a group of rabble to the battlefield, which was purely irresponsible for their own lives.

The aristocratic lord can not care about the life or death of the serf, but there are few who can not care about their own life or death.

Referring to the ultra-high mortality rate on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang in the past, the probability of being able to come back alive without hugging a thigh is simply minimal.

Frankly, Hudson was the most inconspicuous of all the thighs.

The strength is average, far less than the big nobles, and even among the middle nobles, it is also at the middle and lower levels.

There is no backstage to rely on, and even when it comes to the battlefield, it is difficult to get a good errand.

There are a lot of disadvantages, and there are also many advantages.

has a good reputation, is good at training, can fight, will not betray his teammates, and the most important thing is good luck.

"Luck" is very metaphysical, but you have to believe it. With a lucky boss, the probability of surviving is definitely higher than following an unlucky boss.

This was actually reflected in the suppression of the Skull and Bones rebellion.

The losses of the Fifth Army were miserable, but the family private army, which had been with Hudson, had participated in the most battles, but the casualty rate was the lowest.

After Hudson took over all the serfs, the casualty rate also plummeted. The most important thing is that there has been no defeat.

Hudson himself could not have said anything about paddling and fishing. Judging from the final result alone, he is definitely a lucky star.

Coupled with the deliberate announcement in this regard, everyone is envious and jealous of Lord Hudson's super good luck.

The battlefield in northern Xinjiang is full of all kinds of risks, and even the great nobles may be wiped out. In the history of the Alpha Kingdom, the great nobles who declined because of the resistance to the orc invasion were not one or two.

Decline is not the same as extinction, as the heroes of the kingdom, as long as these families are not too unlucky, the bloodline can still continue.

Hudson is most familiar with Viscount Oran, whose ancestors were a big nobleman in the kingdom, and was once the famous "King of the Southeast".

Unfortunately, with the heavy losses on the battlefield, he finally had to abandon a large amount of territory and retreat to his ancestral land to recuperate.

There are many similar nobles, and those who can be handed down can be regarded as lucky. The unlucky ones who are really unlucky have disappeared directly into the long river of history.

The bosses are so miserable, and the little brother who follows the mess can be imagined. It's nothing to die by yourself, but it's the worst to be wiped out with the clan.

Essentially, choosing who to go to battle with is a gamble on luck.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the eldest can come back alive and follow the younger brothers who mix together, even if they die on the battlefield, they can continue the family inheritance.

Aristocrats, no matter how fierce the infighting is, there is still a fig leaf. Take care of the former robes and family rolls, that is also the proper meaning.

The premise is: there is no guilt.

If the interests involved are too great, just the face of the noble lord, it will be a little insufficient.

However, there is no need to worry, the fief in the hands of the little nobles is most likely not enough to "cherish the jade sin".

After each reshuffle, there will be a large number of borderlands waiting for everyone to carve up.

The most worrying thing is not that there are no fiefdoms, but that their own strength is limited and they cannot afford to occupy more fiefs.

There are many lessons to be learned, unless there is a reason to choose. Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to leave his "chosen son" thigh unhugged and run to follow the unlucky guy to win a chance of life.

It took two years to run the name, and now it is finally time to realize it, and Hudson has become more and more rational.

Let everyone follow his script, and it will be easy to hand over the power to train the army and command the army. But it is not so easy to integrate the team and train an elite division.

The difficulty of real training is not in the serf soldiers, but in the nobles.

The younger brother needs training, and the officer also needs training. Letting the noble lords put down their shelves and walk to the training ground together is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

There are exceptions to everything.

In the past, this kind of thing was certainly not negotiable, but now it may not be the case.

At the critical moment of life and death, many seemingly important bottom lines can be broken down infinitely.

It's a shame to go alone and train with minions, and when a group of people follow along, it becomes "it should be like this".

Rules are always at the service of the formulator.

Because of the interests of the makers, it is not a big deal to change the rules of the game.

Although it doesn't represent all the nobles, it can already be played like that within the small circle.

As long as everyone doesn't talk about these things, it is a permanent secret that has been sealed in the long river of history.

……

Bright Holy Mountain.

With a terrifying piece of news coming from the Alpha Kingdom, the high-ranking members of the Holy See followed suit and exploded.

"The Blood Moon Horn has appeared!"

"Even the place where it appeared was in the Alpha Kingdom. Suspected of falling into the hands of the Mountain Lord, Viscount Hudson. ”

With too much detailed information, it is difficult not to suspect that this is someone with a heart who is secretly planning to do something.

It's just that the "Blood Moon Horn" is too involved. As a religious organization, even if everyone knows that the Holy See has ties with cults, the Holy See cannot recognize it.

Otherwise, if the believers see it, it will be a big problem.

A large part of the reason why the Holy See of Dawn has pulled so much hatred and can still exist and live a comfortable life is that it has a large community of believers on the mainland.

Although it can't fool the big nobles, it still has a lot of influence in the minds of the people at the bottom and some small nobles.

The small actions of various countries continued, but they never took action to destroy the Holy See, in addition to fearing the gods, they were also worried about the reaction of the people.

If the reputation of the Holy See can be completely defeated, the Holy See of Dawn can be branded as a cult, and the foundation of the Holy See can be completely severed, no country will give up.

If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three, four, five, six, seven, or eight times, and as long as there is a chance, everyone will be black.

There is already a lot of black history in the Holy See of Dawn, and if it continues to increase over time, it will eventually lead to the collapse of the basic disk one day.

"Blake, what do you think about this?"

Pius VII asked indifferently.

It could be seen that he was increasingly dissatisfied with the performance of the Knights of Judgment.

The disaster was caused by the Knights of Trial, and even if the relevant responsible persons were dealt with, the aftermath was still a mess.

If it weren't for the fact that the actions of the Knights of Judgment in the Orc Empire were beginning to take effect, and that they were about to invade the Alpha Kingdom in the south, I am afraid that the face of the Protector VII would be even more ugly.

As the head of the regiment, Blake's mood at the moment is more complicated than that of Pius VII. For the "Blood Moon Horn", he has long been physically and mentally exhausted.

It's not a question of whether you want to investigate it or not, but after falling out with the Alpha Kingdom, basically all of their people have gone and never returned.

It is difficult for people to get out of the whole body, and the aftermath work will naturally not be completed. Even the Orc Empire's side was purely by chance, and it seemed to have provoked a dispute between the two countries, but in fact it had nothing to do with them.

In order to alleviate his responsibility, he took the credit head-on. It's just that what is fake is fake after all, and the situation in the orc empire is not under his control at all.

In case the goal of the Orc Empire's southern invasion was not the Alpha Kingdom, but to find a weak link to break through from the other two countries, Blake didn't know how to end it.

A lot of troubles were mixed together, which was enough for him to have a headache, and now the message of the "Blood Moon Horn" suddenly appeared, and he simply didn't want people to live.

"Your Majesty, the news of the Blood Moon Horn came too suddenly. Evil weapons are not easy to control, and for nobles who cherish their reputation, this thing is a chicken rib.

It's just a little viscount, if he has this kind of thing in his hands, what he should do is hand it over to the Alpha Kingdom, not keep it himself.

Even if it was really in the hands of this person, it would be tightly sealed from the news. Now that the news is suddenly coming out, I am afraid that someone is deliberately leading us there.

According to the information gathered, the Mountain Lord was not an ordinary person. Not only does it have two elite infantry regiments, but it also has an adult Earth Bear.

In the absence of any big power support. Hudson went from an obscure knight to a fiefdom viscount in less than two years.

The main thing is not ability, but that terrible luck. It is said that no matter what happens, it will become ...... in this person

In short, this guy is very tough. Whoever clashes with him will encounter all kinds of accidents.

Including the son of a grand duke, they were all suppressed to death by this person. Even Hudson didn't do anything, and the development of the situation automatically pushed him up.

Now that we are in conflict with the Kingdom of the Franks, it is not advisable to provoke new enemies until the matter is over. The Alpha Kingdom has its own orcs to clean up, so we don't need to do it ourselves.

In the matter of the Blood Moon Horn, you can first send someone to secretly investigate. It is not advisable to act with great fanfare, lest it provoke a strong backlash from the Alpha Kingdom. ”

Blake suggested.

Taking the Blood Moon Horn from the territory of the Alpha Kingdom is fraught with too much uncertainty. Especially in the case of leaked news, they can receive the news, and the head snake will not know anything.

If it is a situation deliberately set up by the enemy, just waiting for them to send it to the door, it will be a tragedy.

After a series of failures, Blake's confidence has long since gone. In order to mitigate the impact of failure, I simply touted the "goal" first.

When you meet the "son of luck", it is normal to not win.

Where are the countless classic eucalyptus examples in history, and anyone who is particularly lucky against the guys, the ultimatum will die ugly.

If the Holy See in its heyday was still fearless. No matter how awesome the enemy is, they can find a way to grind them to death.

But the current Holy See can't. If you toss unscrupulously, the little vitality you have just recovered will probably be consumed soon.

Blake was not enough to praise the enemy, and by the way, he also pulled the Frankish kingdom into the water.

The first power in the mainland, no one can ignore it. In fact, after declaring the Frankish king illegitimate, Pius VII soon regretted it.

Politics is not played like that. It is refreshing to turn your face directly, but the final result is a little touching.

After all, they overestimated the influence of the Holy See, thinking that without their recognition, the other party would not be able to sit on the throne, and in the end they had to compromise with them.

Unexpectedly, without him, the pope, to be crowned, people actually put on the crown by themselves, completely trampling the majesty of the Holy See under their feet.

At the very least, arrange an archbishop, even if the archbishop is appointed by the king, Pius VII will be able to grit his teeth and admit it.

It's a pity that none of these are there, and the arrogant Franks don't play with these things at all. He didn't even bother to leave the last fig leaf for the Holy See, and directly told the world: the change of throne does not need the approval of the church.

Without a doubt, this is definitely an opening of Pandora's box. The Frankish kingdom could not be suppressed, and the status of the Holy See had to plummet.

Glaring at Blake fiercely, Pius VII turned to the crowd and asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

The Holy See, which has a serious bureaucratic atmosphere, has long since degenerated into "whoever proposes, who is responsible". In this uncertain situation, a group of old foxes are not willing to risk trapping themselves in it.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Blood Moon Horn has always been the responsibility of the Knights of Judgment. The relevant information is in their hands, so let them continue to be responsible!

The immediate priority is the Kingdom of the Franks. The intention of the new King to succeed us is too obvious.

It is said that there is also a plot to appoint a new pope. If we let him toss, I'm afraid it will be very bad for us. ”

Gu Lei on the side took the opportunity to speak.

As an old enemy, at such a critical moment, how could he, the head of the Knights of the Adjudication Order, not make up for it.

The more the Knights of Judgment didn't want to clean up the mess, the more they had to tie them up with the mess.

Since the incident of the Blood Moon Horn, the last year or so has been much better for the Knights of Adjudication. The Knights of Judgment, who were too busy to take care of themselves, no longer had the energy to suppress them.

"Your Majesty, the main energy of the Knights of Judgment is now in the Orc Empire, and it is powerless to send masters to the Alpha Kingdom in a short period of time."

Blake hurriedly excused himself.

It's not that he's cowardly, it's just that things are too tricky. If it is confirmed that the rumors are false, it will be a waste of time.

But once the Blood Moon Horn is really discovered, it will inevitably trigger a new round of scramble. It is very difficult to snatch things out of the mountain collar alone, let alone bring them back safely.

Along the way, the enemies that may be encountered are not only the Alpha Kingdom, but also the countries of the continent along the way are also likely to stab them.

Problems in any one of these areas will lead to the failure of the plan.

The top powerhouse is not a cabbage, and after one toss after another, the loss of the Knights of Judgment is already not small, and there are not so many masters available at all.

Greeted by Pius VII's fierce gaze, Blake stared at him without changing his face. It's better to refuse this tricky task than to fail in your own hands.
