"What, the Red Dragon made a pact with Earl Hudson?"

Morrison asked incredulously.

Everyone entered the Ula Mountains to catch the dragon, and Hudson came back half a day before them. As a result, in just a few moments, the red dragon became someone's mount.

If he had known that this dragon was so easy to subdue, he would have come over to fight on behalf of the royal family.

Morrison is old, and he will not be able to live well in a few years, and he will definitely not need it. But the royal family needs it!

Crown Prince Caesar's reputation is so bad that if he can regain a dragon, he will also be able to re-establish his prestige and restore the reputation he lost before.

It's too late to say anything now, the contract has already been signed, and there is no possibility of going back.

"Yes, Mr. Morrison. The red dragon was returned to the barracks and chained up shortly after the dragon awoke.

Earl Hudson went to check on the situation himself, and the Red Dragon took the initiative to conclude a contract with him. It became his own dragon, so His Excellency ordered the release of the red dragon to recuperate from his injuries. ”

The words of the aristocratic officer were obviously a deliberate message from Hudson to the outside world.

This is his handsome camp, without the nod of his commander, a face of worship, it is not enough for the noble officers under his command to say anything.

Without any accidents, Morrison was directly choked to death. The legendary famous scene is really happening in front of me, and this kind of mental gap is unbearable for normal people.

Although he didn't want to believe all this, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't believe it.

Thinking of the classic story of Hudson picking up bears on the way, it seems that it can be said that he can harvest another dragon.

This kind of luck that can't be stopped, if you want to say that there is no god to roll around, he doesn't believe it.

"Got it, tell the little guy in Ephiero and let him deal with it!"

Morrison said tiredly.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, as an old antique of the royal family, he is more than 170 years old, no matter how well he is maintained, he will not have a few days to live.

If you worry about these things any longer, your life will only take faster. The Sky Knight is not a cabbage, and the royal family still needs to exist to support the field!

When the words landed, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Ancestor, I already know. It's just that this matter is not easy to do, and the addition of a giant dragon is indeed an improvement in the strength of the kingdom.

But this red dragon attacked the military camp before and set fire to a large number of material warehouses. The Coalition Investigation Team will definitely suspect that this is a deliberate act! ”

The Grand Duke of Ephiero said with a depressed face.

It was a good thing for the kingdom to increase its strength, but he would rather not have this way of ascension.

Originally, Hudson's reputation in the country soared quickly, and he was completely invincible among his peers, and he couldn't find anyone who wanted to support a fight.

The current strength of the Coslow family is weak, and it can still be suppressed, but what about thirty or fifty years later?

At that time, Hudson was still in his peak state, and the older generation in the kingdom had almost retreated, and he was simply a natural chosen "power minister".

What's even worse is this quasi-minister, whose luck is very good. Although I haven't heard of going out to pick up gold coins, people can pick up monsters!

First the Earth Bear, now the Dragon. If he has nothing to do and goes to the Warcraft Mountain Range every once in a while, he doesn't know how much he will gain.

As for the trouble on the part of the Coalition Investigation Mission, it is purely a pretext. Originally, the other party came to find fault, and they will eventually find an entry point.

Unless all the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are willing to give up the orc savannah and do not extend their tentacles to this side, they are doomed to be in constant trouble.

"Alright, Efiero! These little problems, you can just get a headache yourself, don't take me with you.

Anyway, the dragon has been captured, and the mission of the worship group is complete. You can figure out the rest yourself. ”

After saying that, Morrison turned around and left directly.

The stimulus he received today was too great, and he needed to go back and be quiet. It's not good to be old and can't stand the stimulation.

Seeing this scene, a wry smile appeared directly on the face of the Grand Duke of Ephiero. If there is a good way, he will not have to worry.

In the treatment of Hudson's special existence, the royal family must not only reuse, but also restrict and suppress, playing a balance.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Among them, the degree is the most difficult to control. If you are not careful, it will eventually lead to a catastrophe.

……

Hudson and Archduke Ephiero sat at each other, as if they were close friends, and drank tea leisurely.

"Congratulations to Earl Hudson for becoming the fourth dragon knight on the continent! This is the glory of my Alpha Kingdom, and Your Majesty will be very happy when he learns about it. ”

Listening to the words of the Grand Duke of Ephiero, Hudson secretly rolled his eyes, Caesar III can be happy to have a ghost.

Originally, he was too quick to emerge, and it was enough to be feared, but now that he came out like this, the danger level must have risen in a straight line.

"Haha......"

"It's all luck! Maybe it was the previous battle that broke the red dragon's brain, and as soon as I went to investigate, he cried and shouted to make a contract with me. ”

It's okay not to explain, but as soon as this explanation came out, the Grand Duke of Ephiero became more and more depressed.

If the red dragon is really broken in his brain and contracted the problem of seeing people to conclude contracts, the royal family will really lose a lot of money this time.

But that's just a matter of thinking. Although there are many strange histories of the dragon clan, after being broken in the brain, it has never happened to take the initiative to pull people to sign a contract.

"It's still the charm of His Excellency the Earl, if you change the past, maybe it will be a different ending.

However, the red dragon has become our dragon, and the alliance investigation team is afraid that it will be difficult to explain. This time they are not good, and the Earl must be prepared to deal with it. ”

Archduke Efiero changed his words.

It seems to be reminding Hudson to get ready, but in fact, he is telling him that since he has turned the red dragon into a mount, he has to deal with the aftermath of the trouble that the red dragon caused before.

"Don't worry, the alliance investigation team came here this time, mainly to track down the resale of military supplies, and the previous fire dragon burned the eucalyptus, which was just a small eucalyptus sandwiched in it.

This series of eucalyptus cases has been identified by the Logistics Department. It's just that it involves the face of the kingdom, and I haven't figured out how to deal with it next.

Now we are left with two options:

Either do a real fire dragon and burn the cang, admit the dereliction of duty of the defenders, and erase the resale of military supplies. The kingdom compensated for the losses of the alliance, and finally the nobles who resold the military supplies paid for the matter.

Either the logistics department will hand over the evidence in its hands directly to the coalition investigation team. Among them, there are not only reselling military supplies, but also evidence of the crime of inviting the Red Dragon to burn down the empty warehouse.

Your Excellency, you are also one of the witnesses. Judging from the situation at the scene that day, not a single grain of grain or the remains of a weapon were found in the ruins of the destroyed warehouse...... Even the dust on the ground is pitiful! ”

Hudson unceremoniously used the big trick of throwing the pot.

It is impossible to be the wrongdoer, and the target of the Alliance Investigation Team is the Alpha Kingdom, not the Red Dragon.

As long as the resale of munitions is done, the alliance will have no reason to hold on to the red dragon. Rules are only for people, not dragons.

As soon as the evidence was thrown outside, the alliance investigation team had no effort and wasted time on the red dragon.

After all, the dragon clan still has some cards on the continent of Aslante.

Unless they are really forced to be in a hurry, no big nobleman is willing to risk revenge to slay the dragon.

Hudson's words before fooling the red dragon were pure nonsense.

Secretly slaughtering a dragon in private, maybe everyone will dare to do it, kill a dragon in the open, and everyone will have to worry about being retaliated by the dragon clan.

The tiger skin of the Terran Alliance, just take it out and brag about it. The strength of the dragon is not only reflected in the combat effectiveness of the single body, but also the high mobility of the people is the most awesome.

Dozens of giant dragons formed a group, caught a force to export, and waited for reinforcements from the Terran Alliance to rush over to help collect the corpses.

As long as they don't go too far and only take revenge on the forces involved, it will be difficult for the divided Terrans to muster the courage to start an all-out war with the Dragons.

The ball was kicked to his side, and the smiling face of the Grand Duke of Ephiero collapsed. I've heard about Hudson's difficulty for a long time, but I didn't expect that things are really leaky.

It seems that two choices are given, but in fact, two pits are dug in front and back, and you have to jump into the pit to advance and retreat.

Internal processing, face is saved. But the Terran Alliance, on its side, will definitely not sell it. There is a high probability that the Alpha Kingdom will be forced to make major concessions before they will be spared.

Directly handing over the evidence of the resale of munitions to the Coalition Investigation Team is undoubtedly a practice that breaks the rules of the game.

Not only was the face of the kingdom trampled on the ground and rubbed, but it also caused strong dissatisfaction among the nobles in the country.

"Dare to ask Earl Hudson, how many military supplies have those guys in the Northland resold?"

Archduke Ephiero asked with concern.

It's not terrible to have a problem, it's not terrible to solve a problem. If the hole left is small, everyone should work hard to fill it.

"Honorable Grand Duke, how many military supplies they have resold in total, I'm afraid only they know for themselves.

However, I have here a partial list of the materials they resell for military supplies. These incomplete materials alone, if calculated according to the current market price, the total value will not be less than 10 million gold coins. ”

Hudson said deliberately switching concepts.

As a dealer in the black market, it is not 100% clear who resells the materials and how many materials are resold, but the statistics are not too big a margin on the whole.

10 million gold coins sounds terrifying, and that's because the current trading price in the market was originally speculated by the investigation team.

If you put it another way, the amount of profit from reselling military supplies will suddenly shrink to between 1.5 million ~ 1.8 million gold coins.

Split into the heads of the five major families, each family has more than 300,000 gold coins. In just a few months, so much money has been made, which is indeed quite excessive.

But this money was not swallowed by a certain duke alone. The younger brothers below are also following the benefits of profit sharing.

The blackest nobles of the Northlands have such a big appetite. In general, the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are still a little disciplined.

Everyone did reach out to the logistics of the coalition forces, but at least the bottom line was still held.

If not, we would not have been able to cut the flesh in time to fill the gap after receiving the news of the arrival of the investigation team.

The nobles of the Northland took a risk, on the one hand, there were indeed not so many supplies on the front line, which could help everyone fill the gap; On the other hand, their holes are too big, and they really can't afford so much money, so they can only choose to rot.

Ignoring the details, the Archduke Ephiero, who was confused by the figure of 10 million gold coins, pondered for a while and said slowly:

"Earl Hudson, the stakes are so big that I can't make up my mind for a while, so why don't you convene a meeting of the logistics department first, and let everyone discuss and decide together?"

Archduke Ephiero, who was supposed to report to the king, was only a good courtier, and was obviously unwilling to embarrass Caesar III with such a hot potato.

It is destined to offend the nobles of the Northland to death, and it is better for Hudson, the coach, to take the blame.

Thinking of this, he suddenly discovered that Hudson's acquisition of the Red Dragon Mount was not so bad.

If it weren't for this giant dragon, it is estimated that the young commander in front of him would continue to pretend to be a lake, and it would be impossible to directly turn his face with the nobles of the Northland.

However, I have to admit that the knife Hudson is handing over now is accurate to the right people at the right time.

If a few days ago, when everyone had a bunch of holes, whoever came out to expose the resale of military supplies would be everyone's enemy.

The current situation is clearly different. Except for the guys in the Northland, the other nobles of the kingdom have almost filled their own holes.

Now is the time when everyone looks at the nobles of the Northlands the most unpleasantly. Why do they have to cut meat to make up for the shortfall, and the nobles of the Northland can be an exception?

It's just a scoundrel, at least you have to be smarter. Since you have been caught, you have to take responsibility.

In the final analysis, it was the nobles of the Northlands who caused this disaster. Even if Geoff is missing, it can't change the fact that he is from the Loonard family.

The most important thing is that in order to snatch resources from the Northland nobles on weekdays, there are many people who offend within the kingdom, and a large group of nobles want to fall into the ground.

But their most important enemy was King Caesar III.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the logistics department has already made a conclusion on this matter. In the last logistics meeting, we set the tone: what can be handled internally, it will be handled internally.

The evidence of the Northland nobles reselling military supplies and bribing the Red Dragon to set fire to the vacant warehouses is all in this box.

In addition, some time ago, several dukes of the Northland had secret contact with people from the Holy See. It is unknown what exactly was discussed, but soon the royal capital broke out in the thorn of the king.

Of course, these are just a guess. It can't be used as evidence, don't take it to heart. ”

Hudson said unceremoniously.

Poking evidence into the Terran Alliance investigation team is just talking. Even if the logistics department meeting could pass, he wouldn't be able to do that.

Each circle has its own rules, Hudson is a nobleman of the Alpha Kingdom, not a nobleman of the Terran Alliance, and when it comes to matters of principle, the ass must sit upright.

In order to avoid being cheated, he did not hesitate to set the tone of internal handling as early as possible. Perhaps it is this tone that prompts the nobles of the Northland to take risks.

After all, the resale of military supplies is a thing of the past. The books and warehouses were burned, and they had the final say on how much material was lost.

As long as their own people do not come out to report, it will be extremely difficult for the investigation team to find evidence.

You must know that after the outbreak of the burning cang, they specially sent someone to notify the red dragon to go overseas to avoid the limelight.

Maxim is a cunning dragon who promises to be good, but in fact does not take their warnings to heart at all.

In the eyes of the red dragon, even if he can't beat it, can he still run away?

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

Hudson, who didn't want to pay for it himself, could only export frantically to the Northland aristocracy. As for the problem of offending people, I don't care so much about it.

He is the commander of the frontal armed conflict, and if the nobles of the Northland dare to make a move, it will be a rebellion, and they will bring about their own destruction.

Sending people to assassinate, he had the Earth Bear and the Dragon as bodyguards, and it was estimated that no Assassin organization would take such a fatal order.

"All right, Earl Hudson. I will report this to the king as it is. If the alliance investigation team comes to inquire, it will bother you to find a way to delay the time first! ”

Archduke Ephiero said helplessly.

Encountering a watertight opponent, Hudson's plan to pull hatred alone has been shattered before it has even had time to begin.

After this incident, if it is said that this action against the nobles of the Northland is not the complicity of Hudson and the king, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

As soon as the war ended, they returned directly to the fiefdom with their men and horses, and even if the Northland nobles wanted to retaliate, their hands could not be stretched out so long.

There is a high probability that this account will be counted on the king, after all, after recovering several provinces in the northern Xinjiang, the royal family is about to surround the fiefs of the five major families in the north.

In terms of area, one is stronger than five. Once developed, the power of the royal family is bound to reach a new level.

Originally, it could have relied on the northward expansion to break this passive situation.

But as soon as the resale of military supplies came out, the ready-made handle was sent to the king, and Caesar III did not cut them ruthlessly, they were all blessed by the Lord of the Dawn, and he wanted to get a new fief, so dream of it!

It's useless to make trouble, except for themselves, all the nobles of the kingdom want one less to share the cake. On this issue, everyone will stand with the king.

If you sit back and wait to die, the five major families in the north who have become sandwich biscuits, how hard they will be in the future, it is conceivable.

If it weren't really a last resort, in the previous Thorn Monarch, the nobles of the Northland would not have played a dishonorable role.

It's really that they are too jealous of Caesar III and want to change to a foolish king.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke, I'll try to stall as much as I can. However, after all, the investigation team represents the Terran Alliance, and they want to intervene in the investigation, and I can't resist the pressure.

Over there in the royal capital, it's better for you to urge it. Otherwise, if the people of the investigation team find out something, it will be a big trouble! ”

Hudson said that it was troublesome, but deep down he had a completely different idea. It's a good thing to have trouble, but it's a big problem to have no trouble.

I have harvested a giant dragon, if there is no big news to divert attention and pull hatred, how can I calm everyone's jealousy?

If you can't take the initiative to report to the alliance investigation team, it doesn't mean that you can't guide the investigation team to investigate in secret.

No matter how clean the bulk material transaction is, it will inevitably leave loopholes.

There are so many people involved in the transaction, the personnel responsible for escorting the materials, the witnesses along the way, and the people involved in the eucalyptus, who dares to guarantee that no one will say anything.

If the material gap can be filled in time, the statements of these people are unbelievable and unbelievable.

If the gap cannot be plugged, these people are the breakthrough point for reselling military supplies. Once the opening is opened, the rest of the matter is easy to check.

Destroyed empty warehouses, unprotected and backed up account books, these are all loopholes.

As long as you go deep into the military camp of the nobles of the Northland to investigate, you don't have to worry about finding no evidence. Even if the team is not helpful, they will receive video footage of the warehouse before and after it was burned.

At the first moment of signing the contract with the Red Dragon, some of the evidence about the reselling of military supplies by the Northland nobles was thrown out by Hudson.

There are many nobles, and there are everyone.

Occasionally, a noble officer kept a diary to record important daily events; It is also very reasonable for a certain nobleman to use a photo stone to record the major events around him.

Some things, either not to do; Once it's done, it has to be done.

The nobles of the Northland are deeply entrenched, and they have the power to overturn the table in the kingdom, and the power within the kingdom alone may not be able to do anything to them.

If you really want to beat them, you have to rely on external forces. If the Terran Alliance wants to kick the Alpha Kingdom off the table, it must do a real reselling of quartermasters.

The Terran Alliance is biting and biting, and the nobles of the Northland are not dead, but there is no way to explain it.

For this reason, Hudson did not hesitate to take the title of marshal of the kingdom that he had not yet obtained.
