Chapter 4: The pot comes from heaven
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
With the sound of shouting and killing, the ground was already full of corpses. The tragic picture made everyone who was used to seeing big scenes can't help but lose their temper.
Both sides of the battle were red-eyed, and one Terran soldier had half of his head stabbed off, but his body's instinct still stabbed the last shot.
Many people suffer heavy injuries, and their first reaction is not their own injuries, but to continue the attack in their hands.
This almost instinctive reaction is clearly to turn people into war machines, as if they were born specifically for war.
There is no right to criticize, because the enemy on the opposite side is an orc. In the face of the life-and-death crisis of the extinction of the dead race, any means should be taken.
What is recorded on the photo stone is only a small episode on the front line in northern Xinjiang. There are many similar combat clips on the front line.
……
"These photographic stones are all used to record the battle situation on the front line. What you see is just a skirmish, a battle like this, which happens countless times a day on the front lines.
The orc army is seriously polarized, what is not good is really not, and what is fierce is really fierce.
When encountering those cannon fodder races, everyone can easily torture and kill, but once they encounter a powerful race, our Terran soldiers will suffer a big loss.
The wolf cavalry that appeared in the battle was just an ordinary steppe werewolf, which was at a medium level in the orc empire, and its combat effectiveness was not much different from that of the elite of our human race.
If it were replaced by the five royal families of the orcs, the scene would be even more tragic. Especially the most powerful Beamon clan, the combat effectiveness is the most terrifying.
Every adult male of the Beamon tribe has the combat power of a junior knight. After cultivating, the combat power will be even stronger.
When encountering the Beamon army, there is no superiority of more than ten times the strength, don't have any hesitation, just avoid it directly.
Even the most elite troops of the kingdom are no match for them when they have troops of the same size.
I tell you this, not to make you afraid of war, but to remind you that this war is very dangerous and that the enemy is far stronger than you think.
2k
When you get to the battlefield, don't try to be smart, play any initiative, just follow the orders from above and do what you need to do. ”
The crowd did not react much to Earl Pierce's warning.
After the port inspection, they were pulled over to watch the movie, and everyone was prepared.
How can a country that mobilizes the whole country neglect the training of officers? Even if you are still in the rear, you have to study in advance.
As a reserve of the kingdom, the biggest advantage is that you can learn from the previous combat experience. These tragic episodes are the best teaching materials.
From the battle screen, you can see the combat effectiveness of the armies of the orcs of various races.
Vaguely, Hudson understood why the kingdom didn't advocate taking the initiative. It is all the valuable experience summed up by the ancestors with bloody lessons.
It's not that it's bad to take the initiative to attack, the crux of the problem is that ordinary aristocratic private armies simply don't have the strength to fight with the orcs elite.
No matter how well you grasp the fighter, someone still needs to implement it. With the exception of some elites, most of the army does not possess this ability to execute.
On the contrary, the defense is simpler, relying on the fortifications of the fortress, even ordinary soldiers can bring damage to the enemy.
The most important thing is to easily stabilize the morale of the military. Billowing ...... in the orc camp Broth is the best stabilizer for the military.
No matter how heavy the casualties are, the defenders who don't want to be reduced to food can only fight the enemy to the death.
It's not like in the field, you can still run if you can't beat it. Once the casualties break through the morale threshold, the overseers will not be able to stop the collapse of the army's morale.
The fortresses on the border have all been added with special materials. Magical attacks that fall on the city walls will be much less powerful, often only half of what they would normally do.
Some important fortresses even have defensive magic arrays set up in them. The orcs are not good at magic attacks, creating the best conditions for defending the city.
Of course, no matter how strong the fortress is, there will be a day when it will be conquered.
Not good at magic attacks, that's only relative.
When the magical power of an empire is concentrated, all forbidden spells can be released, how can a mere city wall stop it?
The orcs failed to kill the Quartet, and the containment of the kingdom mage group was also a very important factor.
All the people present are the backbone of the southeastern province. When it comes to the battlefield, it is also a proper middle and high-level officer, and it needs to be sent out to take charge of itself.
If you don't knock it out in advance, if someone likes to be in the limelight and acts without authorization and loses the battle, the defense line of a war zone will collapse.
Originally, Hudson didn't take it seriously, but the sharp eyes of Earl Pierce made him feel that something was wrong.
Vaguely, he seemed to feel that this sandy reflection was aimed at him.
The conscience of heaven and earth, is he so unreliable?
Counting all the records since his debut, Hudson can say unceremoniously that they can all be called stable.
He was so cautious about dealing with the trash fish of the Skull Society; When encountering the main force of the orc army, how can you engage in moths!
The explanation is to cover up, the disadvantage of age, it is easy to be automatically marked as impulsive and secondary、...... tags.
In the face of this distrust, in line with the principle that as long as I am not embarrassed, then embarrassment is someone else's, Hudson simply looked at Earl Pierce.
After lasting more than ten seconds, Earl Pierce suddenly changed his words:
"Everyone must read the content on the photo stone carefully. How much you can learn from it depends on your own understanding.
However, it is forbidden to leak the content above, so as not to cause panic among the people below.
It is true that the kingdom is at a disadvantage on the front line, but this kind of thing can only be known to us, and you still have to revolve around it when it comes to propaganda below......
There is no rush to this question for the time being. I believe that the army at the front will soon be able to achieve a big victory, which can be used for propaganda.
Although the mobilization sequence of the southeastern provinces is backward, the time when we enter the war is often the most tragic time of the war.
Judging from the casualty rate of previous wars, in fact, everyone is not much different. If you're unlucky, there's still a chance you'll be wiped out.
The orcs don't care how difficult it is. If you want to come back from the battlefield alive, then show your true skills!
Not only your own private army, but also the private army of the nobles in the county must be trained......"
The war broke out for more than half a month, and there was not a single battle on the front line, just think about how badly the kingdom was suppressed by the enemy.
Even if victory can be achieved in the future, it will be out of political necessity. Perhaps only the Lord of Dawn knows how much the Alpha Kingdom has to pay behind the scenes for a victory.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when he mentioned "the annihilation of the army", his father-in-law's expression was obviously tight, as if he had been stepped on a sore foot.
Thinking of the decline of House Hollisle, which stemmed from a large-scale orc invasion, Hudson felt as if he had dug up the truth.
This kind of black history must not be mentioned. Even if it is a warning to future generations, it must be beautified.
It can be seen that the decline of the Holliser family is not an ordinary defeat, it is not that they have negligently dug a pit and buried themselves.
Something like this happens in almost every big war. Even if there are a lot of lessons from the past, everyone still keeps stepping on the pit.
As if to confirm the sentence, the only lesson that humanity can learn from history is that humanity never learns from history.
It is very good to learn from the lessons of predecessors, but when it comes to the specific operation, I still can't help but step on the pit.
The Alpha Kingdom is considered good. has been in distress, and everyone is still forced to make progress.
The pits that have been stepped on by predecessors, everyone still knows how to avoid.
Even if someone still falls, at least when they fall into the same pit, the posture and direction of everyone's fall will still change.
……
Baptized by documentaries, Hudson gained a deeper appreciation for the brutality of war. If there's anything you've learned, it's pure.
If you watch a few battle movies, you can learn how to use soldiers to fight, and the god of war will already fly all over the world.
Everyone's abilities have gone up, and the story is back to square one.
Originally, I wanted to be cheeky and follow my father-in-law back to rub a little more information about the sea.
Just remembering that the Holliser family, now also a bunch of landlubbers, knew only about the sea, Hudson had to give up again.
The most important thing in gathering intelligence is accuracy. I didn't join in person, it's just hearsay, and the authenticity is really difficult to verify.
With the feces and urine of the aristocracy, Hudson had every reason to believe that the vested interests would unleash false news to trap latecomers.
This invisible threshold, Hudson has been exposed to a lot. If he hadn't been careful enough, he would have fallen into the pit and been buried.
Returning to the Mountain Domain, Hudson immediately ordered the lords of all walks of life to strengthen their training in the name of the Governor's Palace.
In order to show that we attach importance to it, we have also specially formulated evaluation rules and regularly tested the results of training.
The reward is limited to words, but the punishment is tangible.
Such an unfair reward and punishment model is not Hudson's first creation, but everyone plays like this.
The great Caesar III fulfilled his promise.
The province that performed the most in the early preparation has now gone to the front line with the team and is stationed in the most dangerous fortress.
The tragic scene in the Shadow Stone is most likely their current situation. When they encounter an army of unreasonable orcs, they only talk to them about fists.
Fairness is only relative, and the weak never have the right to speak.
The most unlucky province has come out, but there is still one unlucky county in the southeast province that takes the lead.
The counties are now competing with each other, and whoever slacks off first will be the unlucky one.
Layer by layer, of course, there will be the most unlucky lords in each county.
It doesn't matter if you drag your feet, but if it affects everyone to die for a lifetime, this kind of hatred is not shared.
In the face of life and death, even brothers can turn their faces.
It just so happened that the unlucky guy of the Sith was not there at this time, and no one dared to come out to make a fuss, so Hudson took advantage of the situation to promulgate military law.
The specific content is very simple, it is a copy of the serf soldiers who led it before. There is only one "joint sitting" at the core, forcing everyone to supervise each other.
Instead of punishing the aristocracy, Hudson still made adjustments very much in line with the rules of the times.
If a nobleman commits a crime, he is the captain of the "death squad".
It doesn't matter if there are many accomplices, it would be better to set up a few more death squads.
There are so many dangerous things on the battlefield, don't worry about not having a chance to let them perform.
……
"Sir, in your absence, there are several special guests visiting.
Considering their special status, it is inconvenient for them to stay outside.
I made my own decisions and placed them in the courtyard of the lord's house. ”
The old butler said with a complicated expression.
Even looking at Hudson's eyes, it was different. It's as if I'm worried about the secrets I know and shouldn't know.
"What special guest?"
Hudson asked, confused.
Looking back on what he has done, although he can't say that everything is above board, he is still worthy of the title of nobility on the whole.
The people who come and go are also nobles from all walks of life. Maybe the level of strength is uneven, but there is absolutely no hidden danger in identity.
"Master, you'd better go and see for yourself! People have come to the door, don't you admit it? ”
The old butler said with an embarrassed face.
Hearing this explanation, Hudson's teacup almost fell to the ground.
"Coming to the door", "not admitting the account", what are these things.
I think he behaves rightly and sits upright, and he doesn't do anything wrong!
Could it be the pot left by the original owner?
That's not right!
Before he crossed over, the original owner was still a little child, and even if he had a heart, he was powerless.
Without too much entanglement, he came all the way to the courtyard, and when he saw the people coming, Hudson's face turned green.
"Miss Yin Sabel, what are you doing here? Who let you live here! ”
It's not that he doesn't have self-cultivation, but the identity of the person in front of him is too special.
When the royal capital was in the capital, some people in the outside world spread rumors that there was a special relationship between the two. Now Yin Sabel appeared in the mountain collar, and Hudson jumped into the Lancang River and couldn't wash it away.
As a nobleman with a fiancée, it is easy for the woman's family to think that it is disrespectful and insincere to engage in such a romantic affair before marriage.
Even if it can be explained clearly, it involves the face of the nobles, and the matter is difficult to solve.
"Viscount Hudson, forgot so quickly?
I was invited to come, and you ...... to people at the banquet that day."
The delicate voice sounded, making Hudson's face more and more ugly, and he immediately sent his men to retreat.
"Enough, don't act here, I don't dare to invite your master.
It doesn't matter where you come from, but don't forget whose territory this is, Miss Yoonsabel! ”
Don't pretend!
When I'm outside, I'm afraid of my image and don't do anything to her. When it comes to your own turf, everything is different.
Hudson was not prepared to let this trouble go if he could not give a reasonable explanation.
A beautiful woman, or a beautiful woman with a great reputation, can cause him a lot of trouble when she is placed outside.
Perhaps sensing the murderous aura in Hudson's eyes, Yin Shabel's face changed. She wanted to give up this damn task a long time ago, but unfortunately the mysterious organization behind it didn't agree.
She was able to have today's status, and the mysterious organization also made a great effort. If it weren't for the behind-the-scenes support of these people, I'm afraid she would have become the plaything of some big man.
But the benefits are not taken for nothing. Enjoying the benefits of joining a mysterious organization, naturally there is a price to pay.
In the past, it was all small tasks, and I completed them handy, and I didn't feel anything.
This time the situation is clearly different, and the target is the famous Blood Moon Horn. Whoever has this thing in their hands will not take it out easily.
"Viscount Hudson, don't be so serious, people have no ill will towards you.
To tell you the truth, a mysterious organization has received the news that the corner of the Blood Moon has entered your hands.
As a weak woman, I had the misfortune to take on this task.
Unlike you men all day long, the little girl doesn't like to fight and kill, so she came to consult with you to see if she could transfer the Blood Moon Horn. ”
As she spoke, Yin Sabel tentatively shortened the distance between the two and observed Hudson's reaction.
"To disappoint Miss Yin Sabel, I don't have any Blood Moon horns in my hands. Instead of coming over to discuss the Blood Moon Horn, let's talk about the Wind and Snow Moon. ”
As he spoke, Hudson greeted him, as if he really wanted to fall in love.
Deep down, he has already begun to scold his mother. Obviously, I was very careful about what I did, but I didn't expect to leak the news.
What is uncertain now is whether the other party is just suspicious, or really believes that the Blood Moon Horn is in his hands.
The soft fragrance is in the arms, and the aroma is tangy. Before he had time to enjoy it, Yin Sabel broke free directly, and even Hudson, a senior knight, couldn't stop him.
"I didn't expect Miss Yin Sabel to be a master, it seems that I can't enjoy this glamorous blessing!"
Hudson smiled as he spread his hands.
Honestly, if it was an ordinary singer, maybe he would really be quietly in the room.
In front of him, this kind of unidentified and not weak beautiful woman, reason told him that it was better not to go up.
"Not necessarily, it's a mountain territory. On your turf, the little woman is not allowed to toss you. ”
Yin Shabel, who came back to her senses, returned to her charming state again.
Her strength was exposed, and experience told her that if she wanted to get out of the way, the most advantageous weapon had to be used.
"Really?
Miss Yin Sabel, it would be best to have this awareness.
Great view ......"
Before Hudson could finish his flirtatious words, Yin Sabel spoke again:
"Viscount Hudson, although the Blood Moon Horn is famous, it actually has no substantive effect on Your Excellency.
Instead of keeping this hot potato, it is better to make a price first and see if we can negotiate the terms.
After this task is completed, they can get out of the mysterious organization, and we can ...... then."
Faced with Yin Shabel's temptation, Hudson rolled his eyes directly. If you really wanted to have something to do with him, you wouldn't have resisted so fiercely just now, and you wouldn't even be able to hide your strength.
If he handed over the Blood Moon Horn so easily, then he would have been wronged.
Even if you can hold the beauty, it is also a bloody business. The value of the Blood Moon Horn can buy the entire Rainbow Moon.
The refusal was very simple, and the real trouble was that the other party seemed to believe that the Blood Moon Horn was in his hands.
"The Blood Moon Horn is not in the mountain territory, I think Miss Yin Sabel has also brought someone to find it.
If you just wait for me to come back, you can't even ignore your reputation and pretend to be my outer room.
But if the price is right, I don't mind being a mid-timer and helping you connect with the real owner.
Of course, whether the deal is successful or not, my remuneration is indispensable. ”
As he spoke, Hudson pretended to stare at Yin Sabel obsessively, as if he was really dizzy, and his restless hands were put on again.
Unlike before, Yin Shabel, who focused on the Blood Moon Horn, did not avoid Hudson for the first time, but asked charmingly:
"In whose hands is the thing?"
