The nobles are training desperately, not to mention ordinary soldiers.

The elite private armies of each branch have been gathered at this moment. All of them were wearing heavy armor and practicing the formation hard.

Hudson had high hopes for this hoplite. In case of confrontation with the orc elite, the only way to go up is to rely on these elites.

In fact, there were far more hoplites in the Mountain Territory than these two thousand. There were also some able-bodied soldiers who were also selected for it.

It's just that the reaction speed of these soldiers' bodies is not as fast as these warriors who have cultivated their fighting spirit.

Dealing with ordinary orc soldiers can kill all sides, and it will be embarrassing to meet the orc elite.

As the main defensive side, there is actually nothing wrong with building a turtle shell.

As for mobility, Hudson didn't have a chance to think about it for the time being. According to past experience, the main task of these southern Xinjiang nobles sent to the front line was defense.

Take the initiative, that is the work of the kingdom's standing army.

This arrangement obviously fully takes into account the uneven combat effectiveness of the aristocratic private army, which is not suitable for field combat with the elite orcs.

Simply defending the city, the use of heavy infantry is naturally not great. But once the wall is broken somewhere, if you want to plug the gap, only these elites will be on it.

What's more, the battlefield is unpredictable. No one can guarantee that there will be an encounter with the orc army in the wild.

Without a single heavy infantry to suppress the formation, the formation was broken through with a single charge of the enemy's elite.

As for the heavy cavalry, it is natural to have it. A war horse with the bloodline of a demonic beast is fully able to withstand the power brought by the armor, and its action speed is not greatly affected.

The only problem is that it's too expensive. The armor is just that, the mountain leader can produce it himself, and the cost is barely bearable, but the war horse has no way to produce it itself, so it must be purchased.

Affected by the war, high-quality war horses were directly out of stock. Many noble lords, including Hudson, were waiting for their horses.

In order to solve this problem, the kingdom's top brass is busy communicating with its neighbors. It is estimated that it will not be long before a large number of war horses will pour in.

As for the price, we will find out then.

If it is officially sold by various countries, it may even be able to be discounted for the sake of fighting against the orcs; If it is delivered by a non-governmental organization, it will have to go with the market.

This account is very easy to calculate, and if the three countries in the north can't hold on, it means that they themselves have to lead troops to the battlefield.

And the speed must be fast, a little slower, and the fire of war will burn into your own home.

Hudson is the one in power, and at such times he will also provide material support, so that the neighbors can block the knife in front.

If you can afford it financially, the heavy cavalry with a certain amount of mobility is naturally the better.

In order to maintain high mobility, it is better to increase the number of horses. Faintly, Hudson had a flash of inspiration.

It seems that when he was playing alchemy before, he inadvertently made a super "cow" and was sent to be a breeding cow.

Thanks to strong genes, newborn calves are far superior to other calves in terms of physical strength and endurance.

One-year-old calves, when ploughing, are able to catch up with ordinary adult cattle. The speed of land reclamation in the mountain territory has increased greatly, and these cattle have also contributed greatly.

If it can be copied on a war horse, his heavy cavalry may run faster than the light cavalry.

In the spirit that science requires the courage to experiment, Hudson plunged headlong into the laboratory and tinkered with the alchemy business that he had previously abandoned.

Unlike before, he has made up a lot of basic knowledge in the field of alchemy these days. The contributor to this knowledge is, of course, the fiancée.

It's a pity that according to the unspoken rule of the Alpha Kingdom, in times of war, the nobles must go all out to prepare for war, and everyone tacitly chooses to stop all marrying activities.

Not only are these activities gone, but even the daily banquet activities have been put on hold indefinitely.

In the name of "all-out preparations", the real situation is that he is not rich in his pocket. No one knows how long the war will last, and the whole kingdom is tightening their belts and living a hard life.

Even if it is to entertain guests, now everyone tacitly agrees to lower the grade. If you can save it, you will save it, and the saved materials will support the front line.

If you can't get married, many things are still inconvenient. Even if this knowledge is the default dowry of both parties, they can only act in a low-key manner.

In return, Hudson provided the Holliser family with a lot of good iron. Although neither side explicitly stated it, the basic principle of equivalent exchange is still vividly embodied in secret.

Of course, these are minor issues. What really brought the two families together was because of this war.

Despite the many interests involved, among the many alliances, the in-law relationship is still the least costly and the most effective.

The Coslow family needs to buy supplies, as well as some warfare technology, such as various armor manufacturing techniques and war equipment crafting techniques......

The Holliser family only received some good iron on the surface, but in fact they bought an insurance policy for the personal safety of Viscount Oran.

In the camp of the same southeastern province, the camps of the two families can move together. If it fails in the face of force majeure, when it comes time to run away, Hudson's value is reflected.

The Holliser family does not lack strong men, and Viscount Orlan also has someone around him to protect him. But the problem is that they are not very lucky, and they get the turtle monster mount.

When fighting with people, it is an advantage to have a turtle shell on your head. When they ran away and evacuated, the speed of these turtle monsters was not as fast as that of human powerhouses.

It is not difficult for a strong person to open his own way, but if he wants to run away with a person, it depends on luck. In case of interception by the enemy's strong man, it can only be cool.

In terms of speed, Bear Stearns is open, and the griffin cavalry flying in the sky can't catch up with the bear's ass. Even if you bring a few more people, the speed will not be affected.

has the opportunity to take someone to open the boil, there is no reason not to bring your own father-in-law. These things don't need to be said explicitly, everyone just knows in their hearts.

As for joining forces against the Dalton family, that was after the war. If the balance is not broken, then everyone is well.

If one party is seriously damaged, then it is logical to play within the rules of the game and cede part of the benefits in exchange for a loose space for development.

Don't look at the contradiction between the first family and the second family in the province, in fact, the two families are the same relatives, and they are still relatives who have been married many times.

Everything is based on profit. Internally, everyone is a competitor; When it comes to the outside world, it becomes an ally again.

What happened in the aristocratic circle boiled down to infighting between a group of relatives. This is true at the top, at the middle level, and at the bottom.

……

"Master, Miss Yin Sabel is here. This time, she also brought a mysterious old man, and she looked very difficult to mess with! ”

Hudson rolled his eyes directly at the hint that the old butler was frowning, and it seemed that this misunderstanding was not explained clearly.

If it weren't for the fact that this old man's ancestors all followed his own family, or he grew up with him since he was a child, and he was full of loyalty, Hudson would have been replaced a long time ago.

The main reason is that there is a lack of talents, and the younger generation is still exercising, and before the temperament is completely smoothed, it is not suitable for such an important position as a housekeeper.

Hudson could only comfort himself: butler, in fact, you don't need to be too smart, the key is to be loyal and be able to handle things properly.

"Bring them here!"

Hudson said casually.

The smile on the corner of his mouth had already revealed his thoughts. The opportunity to rip off the bamboo is coming, and you can't let it go easily.

As he spoke, Hudson picked up the sleeping bear cub, rubbed the miniature version of the bear's head, and said, "Dear Mr. Bear Stearns, please help determine the strength of the person who came." ”

He said "respect", but in concrete action, Hudson never respected.

Treating a good-looking bear, Hudson doesn't mind a few words of praise in order to get Bear Stearns to work hard.

After seeing the bear's eyes open and yawning, Bear Stearns said casually: "It's just those strange guys, you don't need to look at them, they're all a bunch of garbage!"

Of course, if it's against you like this, they should be able to slap them to death. ”

Don't be angry!

One cannot be angry with bears.

Isn't it just disturbing Xiong's dreams, as for such revenge? actually satirized the great Hudson, not even as good as garbage.

Suddenly, Hudson noticed that something was wrong. The one sent by the mysterious organization to make a deal could never be a weak person.

A palm can slap himself to death, the Silver Knight definitely can't do it, and Hudson can at least resist a few moves.

This means that the worst strength is the Golden Knight, and it is still the Earth Knight.

Calling such a person rubbish, Hudson vaguely had a preliminary idea of Bear Stearns' strength.

In order to understand further, Hudson pretended to be angry and asked, "Since they are all garbage, can our Mr. Bear Stearns be able to slap them to death with one claw?" ”

The bear cub, who broke free from Hudson's grasp, patted the bear's paw and said, "Except for the old guy who is approaching, everyone else can be slapped in the face."

But that guy has three claws at most!

Oh, five paws at most......"

Looking at the deflated Bear Stearns, Hudson smiled slightly. If you can do it, it means it's not a big problem.

Hudson didn't care about the specifics of the paws. This is a mountain territory, as long as your safety is guaranteed, no matter how strong the person who comes, you have to stay in peace.

……

"Beautiful Miss Yin Sabel, you have not seen you for many days, but you are much haggard. Could it be that you miss me and can't sleep at night? ”

After teasing Yin Sabel and not giving her a chance to answer, Hudson's tone suddenly changed: "I don't know what to call old man?" ”

If it obviously doesn't fit the character design, it instantly disrupts the train of thought of the two. After coming back to her senses, Yin Sabel glared fiercely, but she still consciously left the opportunity to speak first to the old man.

"Old Kevin, I've seen Viscount Hudson!"

The mouth is polite, but the body is very honest, and there is no meaning to move when sitting in the position, let alone saluting.

Hudson's intuition told him that the man in front of him must be the one in a high position. No matter how much you hide your identity, the momentum exuded by your body can't be concealed.

"Mr. Kevin, since you're here in person. I think I can talk about business, this is the list that my friend wants, you can just complete it according to the above requirements.

Behind it is a magical contract with obligations to each other, and once the deal is made, the matter is over. From then on, everyone walked to the sky, each on their own side. ”

Hudson said with a blank face.

How could the great Hudson do such a non-forceful thing?

I really thought he was a pervert, and in front of business, he still had kung fu to tease women.

If it weren't for the erection of an image of a necromancer with a "quirky personality", he would not have had this idle effort to bring people to the pit in the future.

There is a magic contract, which can theoretically ensure that the other party does not leak secrets. But theory is theory after all, Hudson himself can use the mysterious compass to isolate the shackles of the contract, who can guarantee that the other party can't do it?

In case the future is revealed, the extra title of "necromancer" is the best way for him to clear his suspicions.

What is fake is fake after all, and no matter how much you identify it, it can't become true.

Don't talk about necromancy, as long as Hudson wants to, he can measure the talent of a magical idiot.

If one of the things in the middle turns out to be a lie, then the others can also become lies.

If you want to reverse black and white with a powerful nobleman, you must also ask the kingdom if it agrees. When it comes to the core interests of the aristocratic group, there is no need to worry about no one supporting it.

Regardless of whose vest the mysterious organization is, Hudson's dumping targets are all ready-made.

In the southeastern provinces, who doesn't know that his first pot of gold for Lord Hudson relied on killing the papal cavalry.

A sentence of revenge from the Holy See, deliberately spreading rumors, and slandering his image of Lord Hudson, instantly sympathized with him.

The rules in aristocratic circles are like this, it doesn't depend on what you say, the key depends on what you do.

If you kill someone from the Holy See, everyone will default to being a hostile force of the Holy See.

Even if it was to stage a bitter ploy, Hudson, who was a fledgling and had an uncertain future, was not worth taking a few hundred cavalry.

In particular, the nobles of the kingdom all believed that the people of the Holy See had killed the king's envoy and seized the "Blood Moon Horn", which formed a closed loop for this set of statements.

If everyone agrees, it must be true. Even if it turns out to be fake, it will become true.

Glancing at the list, the old man's expression changed slightly. The lion opened his mouth, his heart was prepared, the problem was that Hudson wanted something too messy.

A necromancer of yours, asking for a large number of magic crystals, a full set of magic spells, magic arrays, and alchemy knowledge...... All of this makes sense.

But the nautical charts, shipbuilding technology, and magic crystal cannon casting technology can be ...... What the hell are they?

Maybe it's because I deal with the undead every day, my brain is polluted and stupid, and I really want to get over the addiction of the lord, and Kevin can understand.

What left him speechless the most was that Hudson not only asked him to sign the contract, but also at least five Earth Knights or Magisters to ensure the authenticity of the information.

It's too cautious. Although the items on the list are valuable, most of them can be copied, and they are not unique skills of the Holy See.

For the Holy See, it is not harmful for one more or less power to grasp this knowledge.

What really needs pain is the 200,000 magic crystals and 5,000 magic cores of different specifications.

The most painful materials were taken out. Is it possible to abandon him, the Knight of the Earth, for the sake of fabricating false information?

I really think that the strong are cabbages and can be easily abandoned. For any power, the strong is the most precious will.

The same necromancer with a hole in his brain, bargaining?

Kevin didn't think he was crazy enough to do such a crazy thing.

Based on past experience, necromancers are no different from ordinary people in normal times. Once they go crazy, no one knows what they want to do in the next moment.

Especially some guys who have overstudied and cultivated their brains stupidly, are purely time bombs.

What's more, with the "Blood Moon Horn" card, it can also be worth this price.

Anyway, he didn't need to pay for these expenses, so he couldn't risk his life to save money for the Holy Treasury.

You can't take the risk of coming and talking to a necromancer about business, and you can't work in vain. Deep down, Kevin has even begun to secretly calculate how many private goods to add to the list.

As for whether the Hudson in front of him is the original or impersonated by a necromancer, it doesn't matter to Kevin.

In short, from the moment he saw the list of quotes, Hudson had to be a "necromancer".

No, it should be the "Undead Archmagister"!

The stronger the strength, the stronger the right to speak. It makes sense to have more supplies.

- Perfect.

The Dawn Holy See has a big business, isn't it good for everyone to get rich together, why do you want to dig deeper?

If something else is found, how can this transaction continue? The Holy See is also principled and is not willing to pay a lot of money for everyone.

The inability to pay a large amount of money means that those of them who handle it have no way to make huge profits from it.

Maybe some treasures for cultivating undead magic will also have to be added. Although he can't use it himself, it doesn't mean that he can't sell it.

As an intelligence organization under the command of the Holy See, the "Holy Hand" has been able to complete its tasks well every time, relying on this flexibility.

The Knights of Judgment is a negative teaching material, and they play rough as soon as they come up, but they don't find the Blood Moon Horn, and they make themselves disgraced.

"Viscount Hudson, I don't know about the Blood Moon Horn, can you let me see it first?"

The precondition for the deal to be made is that the "Blood Moon Horn" is in the mountain territory. Otherwise, there is no way to play this wave of fortune plans.

"Bear Stearns, lend your horn toy to this old gentleman."

Hudson said with a pretended lightheartedness.

In fact, it is implying that Bear Stearns is keeping an eye on people, and if there is any abnormal movement, it will be shot to death.

The mediocre horn fell into the hands of Kevin. The appearance is indeed very similar to the "Blood Moon Horn", but the temperament is completely different.

The eerie resentment was gone, replaced by a strong milky smell mixed with honey in between.

"Viscount Hudson, isn't it okay to joke like that?"

Kevin asked angrily.

A fortune plan is important, but the premise is that you can get through it. The imposter in front of me is simply a baby bottle shaped like a horn.

"Mr. Kevin, don't be in a hurry. I just used a little trick to seal the breath of the horn. ”

As he spoke, Hudson waved his hand. The originally ordinary Blood Moon Horn instantly became resentful, and it was terrifying to take it away.

"That's right, that's what it feels like!"

Kevin, who was still worried, smiled instantly. If something is true, then everything is negotiable. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately said:

"There was no problem with things, happy to work with!

It's just that I have a personal question, if you want to develop your territory, you should lack a lot of funds, why don't you ask for gold? ”

Hudson rolled his eyes at this. If he could ask for money, would he not bring it up?

The financial situation of the mountain territory is not a secret to the big forces at all. Suddenly a large amount of money poured in, and everyone knew there was a problem.

In contrast, things like magic crystals and magic cores can be directly charged by Hudson when he gets his hands on them, leaving no trace at all.

Those things that are within the knowledge are better solved. The information is directly ripped into the "Lingering Stone", and if it is taken out and traded, it is just a few insignificant stones, which will not attract attention at all.

After the war is over, take it out and use it. Hudson could shamelessly declare that these were the spoils of war snatched from the orcs.

As for how the orcs obtained these things, that can only be investigated by going to the orc empire. Based on the contradictions between the two races, it is estimated that people will most likely become barbecues in the past.

"Mr. Kevin misunderstood, for those of us who chase the true meaning of magic, the development of the territory is a floating cloud.

Here today, gone tomorrow. It is better to waste your limited life on these foreign objects than to improve your own strength.

Striving to break through the Sanctuary as soon as possible is the right way! ”
