Rutsia, Council of the Terran Alliance. The atmosphere in the venue at this moment is very weird.

The front-line coalition forces slashed first and then played, which really gave them a blow to the head. The game doesn't have such fun, they are the highest authority of the Terrans!

The outside world is stormy, the parliamentarians can not care, the Terran has enough strength to shelter from the wind and rain. But if you own someone in the back, then there is no way.

The result of the anonymous vote was unanimously passed, which was purely a naked telling to them: the generals on the front line are all in favor of recruiting mercenaries.

Anyway, you have to have a few negative votes, which is a little interesting!

Especially those who kept saying that they were against it, why did they also vote in favor when it came to the final vote?

It can only be said that interests can make people "from the heart". In order to ensure the smooth passage of the resolution, everyone tacitly left the opportunity to vote against others.

Veto?

Just think about it. The announcements have been issued, and if they are withdrawn at this time, isn't it telling the outside world that the Alliance Council and the coalition forces are not of the same mind?

Accountability, non-existent.

Nominally, the Union Parliament has more power, but in reality they bind the coalition forces on the front, and that's it.

Most of the parliamentarians are not as good as the commanders of the armies sent to the front. After all, the parliamentarian is only an agent, and the boss himself is a powerful nobleman.

Everyone is a colleague, and if there is really a trouble, it will be difficult to see each other when you go back. However, as the supreme authority, they cannot fail to express themselves.

It's not just the parliamentarians who are embarrassed, but Charles III is also a headache. As the initiator of the host's meeting, he disappeared directly from the venue this time.

Everyone is responsible, which means that they are not responsible. One by one, they sat there with big eyes and stared at each other, and no one was willing to speak first and pierce this layer of window paper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the news has now spread across the continent, and even if you want to take it back, it's too late. Let's discuss directly how to deal with the aftermath.

For example, clarify the reward period; Or to determine the criteria for determining the merits of war......"

Count Predelag suggested with a little embarrassment.

Although it is said that the law does not blame the public, it is the Alpha Kingdom that initiates it. If it weren't for Hudson's backfire, the coalition generals on the front line would not have realized so quickly the hidden benefits that recruiting mercenaries to fight could bring.

Fight a war and receive two military merits. From now on, there is a high probability that it will become the norm.

Perhaps the next battle report of the coalition forces will be all about the areas captured, and the number of enemies destroyed will all be treated in a simulated lake, and the specific orc races will no longer be refined.

On the other side, the mercenaries on the other side all killed Beamon's head and killed the bearman......

Although the approval of military merits is still strict, it is still the people who can implement it. Driven by profits, the things that take the lead will become endless.

Fortunately, the nobles on the front line are still a little disciplined, and they did not include the ordinary orc race in the bounty, otherwise the Terran Alliance may be bankrupt.

Don't look at the mercenaries who are running to the front line now, in fact, there are many Terran nobles who are also watching, as long as the Alliance Council does not object, they will also participate in the "hunt" with private troops.

"Count Prederlag is right, everything has happened, and we can only face reality.

But in addition to considering the aftermath, we must also put a cage on the coalition forces on the front line, and we cannot let them toss and turn around.

Otherwise, similar things will continue to emerge in the future! ”

Count Djordjevich said with a solemn expression.

Obviously, he has realized the danger of "following the gram" and wants the Union Parliament to strengthen the binding force of the coalition forces on the front.

"Count Djordevich, the aftermath is easy to deal with, but the management of the coalition forces still needs to be considered in the long run, and it is best for the major forces to strengthen the restraint on their respective armies!"

Bishop Monteson objected decisively.

The harm of the following is huge, but the harm of letting people meddle in the command of the front-line Holy See army is also not too much.

In the Coalition Parliament, it is the royal faction that has the upper hand. Once the parliament has command over the front-line armies, it is logical to strengthen the authority of the coalition command and appoint the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

This meant putting the life and death of the front-line papal troops in the hands of the royal power. What will happen next, no one can guarantee.

In short, the casualties of the Holy See army are sure to increase with each passing day. Even if the whole army is destroyed, it is not impossible.

What's worse is that once this kind of thing sets a precedent and proves that it works, it will follow the old practice in the future.

……

Time flies, and it's the end of the year. The flames of war are still burning in the Northern Continent, and there is no sign of stopping.

With the addition of a large number of mercenaries, the battle on the front line is becoming more and more intense. No one can say the specific loss of the human race, but the number of orc royals killed has increased explosively compared to a few months ago.

Human potential is forced out, and under the temptation of interests, Hudson was dumbfounded by the various manipulations of the "mercenaries".

"Poison", "Curse", "Scourge of the Dead", "Summoning Evil Gods", ...... All kinds of unscrupulous methods, only unthinkable and unscrupulous.

Various combat methods have repeatedly broken through the bottom line. There are no rules, as long as you can kill orcs, you can count.

Compared with the decisive battle with the main force of the orcs, most of the mercenaries extended their black hands to the orc tribes, and the hunting targets were directly aimed at the old and weak with low combat effectiveness.

There was no mass massacre of women and children, not that they were disciplined, but mainly that the price of selling slaves was higher than the price of the bounty offered by the coalition forces.

What surprised Hudson the most was that the "mercenary group" with the highest results was not really mercenaries, but the vests of the coalition forces on the front line.

It's not a big deal to do the dirty work with a vest trumpet. But I have to cover it up, listen to the names of those domineering mercenary groups, Hudson is very speechless.

For example: "Holy Invincible Mercenary Regiment".

As soon as he heard the name, Hudson knew that it was a trumpet from the Holy See. Nine out of ten organizations on the mainland that can be given the title of divine are branches of the Holy See.

Another example: "The First Kingdom Mercenary Group of the Continent".

The iconic is so obvious that they have not been approached by the Frankish Kingdom to pursue infringement liability, and it can only be their own trumpet.

……

Almost all the vest mercenary groups of the coalition can be intuitively judged by their names.

A toss may be a bag, and if everyone tosses it together, it can only be interests.

It's really ugly to eat like this, and it doesn't match the spirit preached by the nobles. But it is also conducive to everyone's identification and avoids a lot of unnecessary conflicts.

There is no accident, the mercenary groups with the highest record record are all big force vests.

Except for a few unlucky people in the northern Xinjiang region, the rest of the great forces of the human race are all on the list.

The ranking is basically equal to the status of the major forces and the human race. It wasn't until fifty men away that Hudson found a "real mercenary group".

It's a pity that after sending someone to check, I found out that it was the vest opened by the big nobles. It's just that this vest is not open now, but has existed many years ago.

If you want to study carefully, you will find that the mercenary groups and chambers of commerce on the continent that are a little higher grade can find the figure of the big nobles behind them.

The rise of the grassroots does exist, but after it develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably be co-opted.

This is the aftermath of the monopoly of knowledge. In the absence of education, it is difficult for ordinary people to play with those old foxes.

Originally, Hudson also wanted to take the opportunity to pick up a few potential mercenary groups and secretly take them under his command, but now he is still too young.

Something like this is something that everyone does all the time. On the surface, they are all arrogant, looking down on mercenaries as civilian armed groups, and secretly co-opting one by one more actively.

Mercenary groups that show a little potential will have one or more nobles behind them to become their shareholders behind the scenes.

By the time Hudson noticed them, they were all famous. For the sake of a mercenary group, breaking the rules of the game is obviously more than worth the loss.

I can't mix it, and Hudson doesn't force it. I simply started salted fish, provided logistics materials for everyone with peace of mind, and also started a small business part-time by the way.

Gold diggers can make money, and so can the merchants who provide services to gold diggers.

Although these transactions were successfully completed under the joint efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, it did not affect Hudson's share of the money.

The only trouble is that after entering the mountainous area to fight, the loss rate of logistics materials during transportation has skyrocketed, which has aroused close attention from all parties.

Fortunately, with the help of the orcs, every once in a while, there will always be a transport convoy attacked, resulting in heavy losses in the logistics and materials of the coalition army, and it is definitely not a personal bag.

If you don't believe it, you can check the accounts. The inbound and outbound data can all be matched. All the losses are also traceable.

……

"Hudson, big things are not good! The Loonards reported to the Council of the League that you were reselling strategic goods, and both the Alliance and the Kingdom sent a mission to investigate.

We will arrive at the front line in the near future, check the consumption of strategic materials of the army, and hurry up to deal with the accounts at hand! ”

The news brought by Viscount Oran made Hudson slightly stunned. The enemy chose to strike so quickly, and he couldn't hold his breath.

This year, escorting logistics materials is a proper chore. It is also an unspoken rule that the transport team takes advantage of it, and as long as it is not done too much, no one will care at all.

However, everything is most afraid of being more serious, once someone comes forward to report with their real name, it is a big stain.

Whether it can be fatal or not depends purely on the amount of materials that are greedy for ink. Generally speaking, as long as the gap is not too large, it can be settled.

Hudson's recent business has been doing well, attracting the attention of people with a heart, which is inevitable.

It's just that he can't understand why the Locknard family is so breathless, and the war has not yet ended, so they are in a hurry to jump out and attack.

In particular, reporting directly to the Coalition Council is even more deceitful. Even if he could be taken down this time, it would be a slap in the face to the king.

Originally, the relationship between Caesar III and the nobles of the Northland was tense, and now this kind of thing is happening, wouldn't it be rubbing the king's face on the ground?

Not only the king, but the nobles of the entire Alpha Kingdom will have a dull face. Under normal circumstances, when everyone encounters this kind of thing, they will choose to deal with it themselves behind closed doors.

"Your Excellency, don't worry! They couldn't find out anything, and if the investigation team really came, it would only be the Northland nobles themselves who were unlucky.

Counting the loss of grain and grass transported by the nobles in various places, it is estimated that the loss in their hands is the largest. Even if the accounts are done well, there will be problems.

If you really dig deeper, I am afraid that the big nobles on the front line will be more or less implicated.

However, Duke Pias is not a fool, he would rather risk offending the many nobles of the kingdom than lift the lid at this time, there must be other forces behind it.

Let's wait and see, I think the next story will be very exciting! ”

Hudson said with a sneer.

There is no doubt that this report has had a great impact on him. Even if the problem cannot be identified, it will cause Hudson's reputation to be greatly damaged.

After all, there are millions of officers and soldiers responsible for transporting grain and grass, and as long as they dig down, someone will definitely be caught.

A charge of poor supervision, Hudson is destined to be unable to escape. Before that, he was not completely unprepared.

Especially after the Duke of Khavadia revealed his ambitions, most of the dirty work hidden in the escort mission fell to the nobles of the Northlands.

This is also the direct reason for the highest rate of loss of materials they transport.

Once the investigation team comes, the nobles of the Northlands who have lost the most materials will definitely be the focus of the review.

originally thought that with such restraints, they could be restrained, but I didn't expect that something would happen in the end.

A typical "kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself" style of play. If you really want to investigate deeply, Hudson didn't have a good life, and the Northland nobles couldn't hide either.

Even if the five dukes didn't stretch out their hands, who could guarantee that their clansmen and younger brothers didn't stretch out their hands from it?

"Hudson, are you sure there's no problem?"

Viscount Oran asked with concern.

He knew that in recent days, Hudson had secretly sold a lot of strategic materials and made a lot of money.

Although it is the Chamber of Commerce that is specifically responsible for the implementation, the inside story behind these still can't be hidden from the eyes of the nobles.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, some of the strategic materials that flowed out were transported by me from the rear, and some of them were the trophies bought from the coalition forces some time ago.

Even the relevant transaction vouchers are kept in my hands. No matter how the investigation team investigates, I didn't reach out to the strategic materials of the army! ”

Hudson said steadyly.

Obviously, this was not only deliberately said to Viscount Oran, but also to the nobles in the army.

It is a fact that strategic materials are resold, and there must always be a reasonable explanation about the source of materials.

After all, the crime of reselling strategic materials is not light, and Hudson does not want to be wronged.

Many times, the truth and the false can be confused under the crowd. He also needed someone to help him speak, to prove that this was a non-existent thing.
