Chapter 18: The Unlucky Guy

The news of sending troops to reinforce the Principality of Moxi spread, and several of the provinces involved exploded in an instant.

Proceeding from the overall situation, everyone supports the dispatch of troops. But the task of sending troops falls on one's own head, which is another matter.

Aristocracy is realistic, and risks and benefits must be weighed before doing things. Obviously, this mission is a typical high-risk, low-return mission.

Unfamiliar cross-border warfare is a challenge for both aristocratic officers and low-level soldiers.

In the event of an accident, reinforcements need to be coordinated, and the object of dealing with the Duchy of Moxi is the Principality of Moxi.

The Augusto defense line, such an important strategic point, and the fact that reinforcements did not arrive in the first place is enough to prove what level of internal coordination and mobilization ability of the Principality of Moxie is.

If there is a sudden change on the battlefield, the allies will most likely not be able to count on it, and it is self-evident how high the risk is to solve it with their own strength.

High risk, but there is no high return. Fighting for others, the verification of this battle merit is also a big problem.

Don't look at what you say now, the statistics of military exploits are the same as those in China. If you really make a contribution, it will be greatly discounted when you evaluate it in the end.

What can be the same is only the military merit brought by killing the enemy, and the strategic significance and strategic value increase brought by the campaign are basically negligible.

In the evaluation of military merits, these strategic values occupy an important proportion. A strategic victory, I don't know how many enemies you have to kill to be able to withstand it.

There are so many disadvantages, and it is not completely without benefits. As a guest army, you don't need to live and die with the Principality of Moxi, and if you can't win the battle, you can wait for the opportunity to carry out a "strategic turnaround".

The prerequisite is: you can get rid of it.

It's not just a test of reflexes, it's also about who the enemy is. At the very least, in the face of the army of the Hawkman Imperial Court, it is very difficult to escape.

When there is an errand that no one wants to do, it means that trouble is coming.

The kingdom assigned the task, and the Earl of Pierce encountered this dilemma. After saying all the good things, no one took the initiative to sign up.

Forcibly assign tasks, that is non-existent. The people present are all powerful, and if you want to say that the soft persimmon is the only Viscount Sith.

The softest persimmon has a big duke dad behind it. is also an important minister of the kingdom, even if he doesn't give face, he can't go too far.

The most important thing is that Viscount Sith has no one under him, except for the hundreds of elites in his lineage, plus a group of serf soldiers, he is not in command of the nobles in the county at all.

The task was pressed on him, and in the end, he couldn't implement it. Scrape together an army to deal with it, and the kingdom can't explain it.

It is only the military strength of one county that is not fully borne by the entire southeastern province, and it cannot be said that it will not be completed well.

Of course, if the southeastern provinces were to bear all the burdens, Earl Pierce himself would be the first to make trouble.

When it comes to vital interests, it is not possible to be unrealistic. This kind of rescue mission is not a mandatory obligation that the noble lord must fulfill, and it is normal to make a fuss.

Glancing at the audience, Governor Pierce said to everyone with a gloomy face, "Since everyone is unwilling to take the initiative to sign up, then leave all this to the Lord of Dawn to decide.

Guards, prepare fifteen wooden sticks and engrave on one of them."

It's understandable to be in a bad mood. There were a total of fifteen county guards present, and there were not a few of the Dalton family.

Using the lottery to decide, the probability of this unlucky errand falling on his own family is not small.

But if this kind of thing is not fair, no matter who it is forcibly assigned to, it will be strongly opposed.

You can't rely on force to force others into battle, right?

This kind of thing that violates the rules of the game, once it is done, will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the small and medium-sized nobles within the province.

No one wants to be the next hapless one. The small and medium-sized nobles in the province made trouble together, and no one carried out the task, let alone say it, and the civil strife was detonated first.

A governor who does his part is the right way to get out of the way as soon as possible, and staying will only bring disaster to the country and the people.

There was an extra draw of lots, and the nature changed all of a sudden. Everyone has an equal chance, and with a 1 in 15 probability, if they can all be drawn, it should be unlucky.

The efficiency of the guards was very fast, and in an instant they brought in a bamboo tube containing fifteen wooden sticks. Seeing this scene, Hudson very much suspected that this was prepared by Governor Pierce in advance.

Similar gameplay is all left over from his play. It's just that Hudson can play a dark box operation, which is aimed at the petty nobles in the county who are easy to fool.

The big table in front of me is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Even if it was a lottery, everyone would not easily believe that Governor Pierce was fair and fair.

"Here are fifteen sticks, and the fifteen county guards draw lots on behalf of their respective counties, and each of them draws a stick.

Whoever draws the engraved wooden stick will take the army of his county to participate in this rescue mission.

We will continue to discuss the details after the county responsible for sending troops is determined.

In order to avoid suspicion, the members of the Dalton family should be drawn at the back, and the lottery will be carried out after you have drawn lots.

The wooden sticks are all here, and after the drawing is completed, if you have any doubts, you can check them in the presence of everyone. Now, please come forward and draw it."

Listening to Governor Pierce's words, Hudson found himself in the middle of it. Repeatedly emphasizing the "county guard", didn't he just tell him not to come?

Everyone is a representative, and if he alone does not participate in the lottery, it is obviously naked discrimination!

In an instant, Hudson realized that something was wrong. This is just discrimination, and it is clearly to exclude him, a knight of good luck.

Even if luck can't do it, you can do it by cheating. The wooden skewers are all exactly the same, so there is a slight weight difference between the carved wooden skewers and the non-engraved wooden skewers.

Bear Stearns, who has a game of gravity, is a breeze to avoid the anomalous wooden sticks.

It's okay if you don't participate, the key is that the bad luck knight corresponding to him, the good luck knight, also happens to be in Lyte County.

Watching Viscount Sith step forward to draw lots, Hudson closed his eyes directly. That guy is fine in normal times, but when it comes to the critical moment, luck can go wrong.

Just take stock of what happened to him. is also the son of the duke, but Sith is an illegitimate child, and he lost the first wave when he was reincarnated.

Hudson didn't know exactly how it was going in the Northland. Anyway, when I arrived in the southeast province, when I chose one of the two counties, I happened to collide with him, a traverser.

Hold an event in a business center, and you can catch up with the tragedy of aristocratic brawls and hammering people to death.

Even when he carried out the task of transporting materials before, more than a hundred nobles drew lots, and he was able to draw the worst.

This kind of luck comparable to the possession of a moldy god really made it difficult for Hudson to have confidence in him.

"They all put their sticks on the table and let everyone witness together. If you have any doubts in your heart, you can come up and check them now."

Governor Pierce said with a smile on his face.

It can be seen from his expression that this unfortunate errand did not fall on the Dalton family.

Such joy is by no means what a mature politician should have, unless he really can't help it.

Looking at the Sith Viscount who picked up the wooden skewers and checked the comparison one by one, Hudson exclaimed in his heart:!

Although I had a bad premonition in advance, this premonition was too accurate. With a 1 in 15 probability, you can still be bumped into, and I don't know what to say.

Glaring fiercely at the Sith Viscount, Hudson turned his head directly. The Governor asked him to check, and he actually went up to check.

I don't know if I was stupid by my luck, or if my brain was in water. Even if there is a black-box operation, it can only be recognized by gritting its teeth.

After all, he drew the lottery himself. Even if someone marked it, if it weren't for Viscount Sith's bad luck, he wouldn't have drawn it just right.

In a lottery, not only did his family avoid the task, but also the nail planted by the nobles of the Northland in the back of the Dalton family was pitted.

Viscount Isis's current luck is really not high in the probability of coming back alive from the battlefield.

You don't have to do anything, you can pull out this nail, and let the Grand Duke of Kavadia have nothing to say.

"Since the Viscount of Sith has not found a problem, the task of supporting the Duchy of Moxi is carried out by the county of Lyte.

If you have any comments, you can raise them now."

Governor Pierce said in a good manner.

It's as if I'm really asking for everyone's opinions.

Seeing this scene, Hudson said decisively, "Your Excellency the Governor, the well-known Viscount Sith is frail and sickly and does not have the ability to lead troops.

In order to better accomplish the mission, I propose to come to Tetershire for a more capable nobleman who will lead the county army in this operation."

As the words landed, everyone's eyes were focused on Viscount Sith. That burly figure doesn't look like a frail person no matter how you look at it.

Knowing that Hudson was talking nonsense with his eyes open, everyone nodded in agreement, as if Viscount Sith was really weak and sickly and did not have the ability to lead troops.

The ass decides the position, and the identity of the same local nobleman determines that everyone must support "their own people" on this issue.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Viscount Sith gritted his teeth in anger. After so many years of growing up, he had never been insulted like this.

Even if you want to snatch military power, you can find a suitable excuse. directly slandering him for being frail and sick and not being able to lead troops is clearly reversing black and white.

"Shut up! Hudson, you, you, you ......"

As soon as the words came to his lips, the Sith suddenly found himself unable to continue. Arguing on someone else's turf, he, an outsider, was doomed from the start.

Even if he wins the quarrel, it's useless, and it's not a day or two since he, the empty county guard, has been set up.

The task was given to him, but it could not be implemented. In the end, it is necessary to give up the dominance.

The most important thing is to fall out with everyone here, for everyone's face, if he doesn't do it, he will really become "frail and sick".

There are not a few secret methods of plotting people in the continent of Aslanth. The Sith didn't think that the guys who were reversing black and white in the room would have a high moral discipline.

"Viscount Sith, don't get excited. We all know what you mean.

Rest assured, everything is focused on the bigger picture of the kingdom.

It is rare for Viscount Sith to be so high-spirited, so this expeditionary force to support the Duchy of Moxie will be led by Viscount Hudson as the commander of the legion.

According to the regulations of the kingdom, the quota of troops sent by our southeastern province this time shall not be less than 15,000.

Viscount Hudson, no problem, right?"

Governor Pierce's words left the Sith completely speechless. There was no point in struggling, and even if he won the battle, he would not be able to muster an army of 15,000 men.

"Your Excellency, it is not difficult to assemble an army according to the kingdom's regulations. However, the military obligations transferred by my Coslow family must also be included.

During the expedition of the Great Army, the conscription quest in the kingdom can no longer involve Lyteshire.

Considering the practical problems, all the noble lords led their troops to the battle, and no one presided over the overall situation. Now the monthly material delivery task also needs to be arranged by the Governor's Office to take over.

When it comes to the adjustment of the supply of materials to the front line in the later stage, we must wait for us to return to discuss it. Until then, the obligation of the county of Latter can only be reduced and not increased.

During the period when the army is on the march, the security of the county also needs everyone's attention, and the cult organization must not be allowed to take advantage of it.

When it comes to specific matters in the county, it's best to wait until we return, and then we can sit down and discuss it slowly."

Hudson unceremoniously offered the conditions. Although the unfortunate errand was drawn back by the Sith Viscount, he couldn't go out so unexplained.

In essence, Latshire is still representing the southeastern province this time. Some necessary rights and interests still need to be fought for.

"Viscount Hudson, rest assured. These are all due senses.

During the expedition of the Great Army, the Governor's Mansion will not sit idly by and ignore any trouble encountered by the Lytes.

All of you present can oversee it, and if there is something wrong with the Governor's Palace, you can impeach the king."

Earl Pierce assured with a smile.

Helping to stabilize the rear is a must. If this can't be done, how can you let the nobles and lords rest assured that they will lead troops to the battle?

Anyone who dares to do something during the expedition of the Great Army will be dealt with the most severe blow from the kingdom. Even the big nobles didn't dare to defy the law.

In this kind of matter, once the board is knocked down, the crime is convicted: colluding with the orcs, betraying the human race, and intending to cause trouble in the rear of the kingdom.

It's not just that you can't mix in the Alpha Kingdom, but you don't want to mix in the entire Terran world.

It's not that the kingdom is making a big fuss, but it happened in history, and at one time it caused the Alpha Kingdom to suffer heavy losses.

Afterwards, everyone learned a lesson.

It is difficult to define whether or not to accept the orcs to buy, so it is simply a one-size-fits-all approach, and all those who do things are labeled as betraying the human race.

Under this charge, directly enjoy the Terran Alliance chase and kill package. In all Terran countries, it is the treatment of the most wanted criminal.

Punishment that was so strict that it bordered on perversion erected rules for the nobility of the kingdom. Only then can everyone lead the troops to the battle with peace of mind.

The big people have a big family and a big business, and they are reluctant to defy the law, but it is difficult to say whether the little people who are responsible for the implementation below will fish in troubled waters.

Hudson makes it here, seemingly making a big fuss. In fact, it is to attract everyone's attention, as long as the big man shows a little concern, the executives below will be extraordinarily well-behaved.

Seeing Hudson finalize the result in a few words, the Viscount Sith, who was ignored, said angrily:

"Since you don't need me, you can solve everything. It's also an eyesore for me to stay here, so I simply suggested to the kingdom that I should be removed!"

seems to be angry, but in fact he is forced to be helpless. An expedition to the Duchy of Moxie is imminent, and the Sith does not want to die young.

With the title of county guard, not only did he not have the command of the army, but he also had to accept Hudson's command.

got in the way of others, and fought with others under their command. If there is no accident on the battlefield, that is the big problem.

In the past, Viscount Sith didn't need to worry about it, because there was an archduke father here, and no one dared to do anything to him.

But the current situation is different, from the outbreak of the war to the present, the nobles of the northern region have received a large amount of materials supported by the nobles of southern Xinjiang.

took the soft hands of others, and faced with the logistics nurse who provided money, food and materials, the nobles of the Northland couldn't get up.

The nobles of the southeastern province dared to treat him like this now, showing that it was the deterrent power of his grand duke's father, which was no longer enough to make everyone continue to buy it.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that your father still has some influence and find a way to step back from the hot county guard position, you won't know when you will be killed on the battlefield.

Glaring fiercely at Viscount Sith, Governor Pierce replied angrily, "Good, very good!

Since the Viscount of the Sith feels that his abilities are limited and he is not qualified for the position of county guard, then submit his resignation!"

It is true that they want to drive out the nobles of the Northlands, but according to Earl Pierce's plan, this is not the time.

Viscount Sith withdrew, and it was Hudson who came to power. For the Dalton family, the best choice is to pull each other back.

If war had not broken out, there would have been no effort to provoke infighting. Pierce had already fanned the flames between the two and kept them fighting.

As for the resignation of Viscount Sith, it is impossible to approve it. For the sake of his own interests, the Earl of Pierce would not let this resignation appear to the king.

From the standpoint of the Dalton family, the best fate for the Sith is to die on the battlefield.

Then they can take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the scenes, so that the Coslow family will form a blood feud with the Grand Duke of Kavadia.

Everything is caused by interests, who let Hudson rise too fast and arouse the jealousy of the Dalton family?

Under the pressure of war, it was inconvenient for Earl Pierce to do anything. It is still feasible to secretly guide the development of the situation, wait for the fire after the war, and create a few enemies for Hudson.

On the one hand, he sells favors, and on the other hand, he stabs the knife. In the aristocratic world, it's too normal.

Vaguely, Hudson, who was aware of the aura of conspiracy, shook his head secretly.

Anything, once overcalculated, is the time for the backlash to erupt.

The resignation in front of everyone's eyes seemed to be angry, but it wasn't the Sith who sensed the danger and sent him a political signal to sue for peace.

The hand cheaply drew the bad luck lot, and the nobles of the whole county of the pit had to carry out the task of nine deaths and one life. This account, even if everyone doesn't talk about it, they will definitely write down a sum of money to the Sith in their hearts.

Offending so many people at once, it is quite dangerous to go to the battlefield.
