"Marshal, this is a summary of the big events that have happened in recent days."

Since the war on the mainland has been going on so far, it cannot be said that the international situation is changing every day, but every few days there will certainly be a big news.

At the beginning, Caesar IV continued to hold meetings and discussions, but after experiencing more, he gradually became numb.

Except for events that will immediately affect the interests of the kingdom, the rest can be directly transcribed and distributed to the kingdom's higher-ups.

Looking at the report in his hand, Hudson's brow furrowed.

The five steppe countries have become the four steppe countries, and if nothing else, they will soon become the three steppe countries and two countries...... Finally zero.

Even if the Alpha Kingdom exerted pressure on the Terran Alliance, the resistance of the grassland countries was still not as strong as expected, and there was not much time left for the kingdom.

】

Bad news always follows, and a military conflict between the Duchy of Cantrulu and the Elves in the west is on the verge of breaking out.

The letter for help had already flown to the Alpha Kingdom, which had not convened a meeting to discuss the issue, and was obviously not ready to send reinforcements.

The Principality of Canteru can only be blamed for its bad luck, it is too far away from the Lord of Dawn and too close to the Elves.

The pain is temporary, and if the elves make a move, it will definitely be a thunderbolt method, and this kind of trouble should disappear soon.

Where there's bad news, there's good news.

The Frankish kingdom intensified its offensive against the half-orc kingdom and once again pushed the battle line forward for a hundred miles.

The Holy See has also begun to erupt recently, perhaps preparing to vent the grievances suffered at sea on land, and the dwarves are not having a good time.

The land that occupied the Kingdom of Ruthenia in front of it is now forced to vomit, and the flames of war have burned to the Dwarven Kingdom itself.

The cannibal tribe has also been struggling recently, and the offensive of the Libyan Kingdom of Yin is getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for the geographical advantage, they would have collapsed.

On the contrary, the battle situation in the Central Continent is in a stalemate, the Hessian Kingdom and the Stone People are fighting happily, the Dante Kingdom and the Troll Clan are fighting back and forth, and the South Bank Kingdom and the Three-Eyed Clan are playing a game of position competition.

Hudson could see that the further south he went, the stronger the Terrans were, the weaker the alien races, and the opposite was true to the north.

In general, the two sides are evenly matched, and the Terrans seem to have a slight advantage because they are a single race.

The main thing is the racial contradictions, which suppress the contradictions within the human race. Otherwise, all kinds of regional blacks, regional conflicts, and ethnic ......

After a cursory glance, Hudson nodded and said:

"I know the situation. This "Long-distance Training Plan" was distributed to all regiments of the Expeditionary Force, and a copy was sent to the Military Affairs Department by the way.

Inform the logistics department to prepare the supplies, and the army will be mobilized tomorrow. ”

If the interests are in place, everything is easy to discuss.

It was too abrupt to send troops to rescue immediately, but in the name of pulling training, it was still possible to let the troops move in the direction of the Duchy of Moxi.

When the army moved to the border area, when it was to fight, it was Hudson's own words.

A sentence of fighter aircraft appearing is enough to gag everyone's mouth.

Even if there is a slight turmoil, Caesar IV will help with the aftermath. The benefits are shared by everyone, and there is no reason for him to do the work alone.

"Okay, Marshal!"

Walls replied hurriedly.

After speaking, he immediately picked up the "Long-distance Training Plan" on the desk, turned around and went to implement it.

After a few months of messing around, he already had a general understanding of Hudson's style.

The requirement for "efficiency" can be called perverted.

Since Hudson assumed command of the kingdom's army, not only the efficiency of the army has been greatly improved, but also the efficiency of all branches of government has been forced to improve.

Once the order is given, the overtime must be completed. If you dare to delay, pack your things and go home!

No matter how big the backstage is, it's useless, if you dare to make trouble, you don't even have to go home, you go directly to the "Warrior Camp" to report.

The mobilization of the "100,000-strong army" was ordered today to be carried out tomorrow, which was impossible in the past.

It's not that the army can't do it, it's mainly that the logistics can't keep up.

Now everything is different, and after Hudson's reforms in the army, the officers also learned the ascetic life.

If the supply of materials is not available in a short time, they will directly gnaw on dry food.

There are opinions to hold, Marshal Hudson himself can take the lead in gnawing dry food, and everyone is not easy to say.

Everything is in preparation for a long-distance attack, and now the hardship training is just for everyone to get used to it in advance.

In fact, the name of the ancients will run thousands of miles, and the biggest problem will always be logistics.

Hudson chose the Duchy of Moxie as the battlefield, in fact, with logistics in mind.

As long as the noble castles along the way are not all fallen, they can supply the army. Even if you can only eat a full meal or two, it is crucial in war.

As long as the war starts, the problem of food is secondary.

After winning the war, all kinds of livestock killed in the war are everyone's rations. The looted supplies are the best supplements.

If you lose, don't worry. The long-distance attack failed, and even if the whole army was not wiped out, few soldiers survived.

……

The tension in the steppe soon spread to the Alpha Kingdom. A large number of refugees were waiting for the kingdom to receive them, but at this time the fleet fell off the chain.

It was all caused by the ghost ships, and with the record of destroying the Holy See's fleet, Hudson's three ghost ships resounded throughout the continent.

Affectionately known as the "Three Kings of the Netherworld".

Especially in the coastal areas, the names of the three kings of the underworld can make children cry.

If you want to do transportation under their noses, if you are not strong enough, it will make people collapse.

Evacuation by sea and by land has greatly increased both efficiency and mortality.

Perhaps realizing that the Terrans wanted to evacuate, the Orc Empire continued to send out rangers to hunt refugees on the savannah.

There are exceptions to everything, other people's fleets dare not act, and the mountain collar is still transported with great fanfare.

Unfortunately, the panic spread, and after two transports, the hired fleet was gone.

……

"Mr. José, it's not a question of money or not.

The main thing is that the sailors are afraid, and I have tried my best to talk about it, but they still refuse to board the ship. ”

Captain Gul said in embarrassment.

The previous transportation task could not be completed on time, and the mountain leader had already given them an extension. Now that he has come to sell miserably, he himself is embarrassed.

How could his subordinates not give face, and after running twice, they were no longer willing to take this route.

"Captain Gul, didn't the first two go well?

Recently, I haven't heard any news of the ghost ships, and I think they have also suffered heavy losses in the great battle with the Holy See fleet.

You can act boldly and confidently, what is there to worry about! ”

José pretended to be calm and persuaded.

He has used similar reasons many times, but the effect is not as good as one time.

"Dear Mr. José, it's not that I, Gul, don't give you face, it's really that the mission can't be carried out.

This time we came back from Newport, and the ships along the way were almost extinct, and everyone abandoned the route.

For the sake of safety, we all sail close to the coastline, but everyone is still afraid!

Once the ghost ship comes out of the sea of mist, our fleet will only be wiped out. ”

Gul said with a sad face.

The people below are afraid, and he, the shipowner, is also afraid!

All the family resources are on it, and once something goes wrong, it's all over.

In an instant, José reacted, this is someone deliberately unleashing panic in order to hit the Alpha Kingdom's maritime trade.

There are just too many suspects.

It could have been done by the Holy See, or it could have been done by the Kingdom of Hesse, or it could have been ......

"Don't worry, Captain Gul, we have a solution to this problem.

I will let the griffon dragoons in the territory stare at the misty sea area, and notify you immediately if there is any movement, and it will definitely not ......"

Before José could finish his strategy, Gul interrupted:

"Mr. Jose, the Misty Sea is so vast, how can you keep an eye on it.

Moreover, even if the griffon dragon discovers the traces of the ghost ship, it may not be able to transmit the information back.

In recent days, several mercenary groups have entered the Misty Sea to explore, and they are gone.

I heard that a few days ago, the Dalton family sent griffon cavalry to monitor the misty seas, and they were also damaged.

……

There are so many lessons to be learned from the past, there is really no need to continue to take risks.

If something goes wrong, the Earl will investigate it, and you won't end well! ”

Hearing this explanation, José was also silent.

The mercenary ships that go deep into the sea of mist to explore are tired of looking for death by themselves, but the air force monitoring the sea area of the mist also has an accident, so there is a problem.

At the very least, it can be proved that the three ghost ships in the Misty Sea can move freely, and they are not limited to staying inside.

"So be it!

Since everyone's fleet has stopped these days, Captain Gul has helped to act as a middleman and invited all the major shipowners to come over.

Everyone is idle, so it's better to come over and help us transport it first, and then ask the earl to escort you.

They are all defeated under the master, so you can always rest assured, right? ”

Jose said ruthlessly.

In any case, the share of immigrants allocated to the territory has to be transported back.

With the importance of his lord to the population, it is normal to transport tens of thousands of immigrants at one time and come to escort them in person.

The prestige is all out, Hudson has a record of repelling three ghost ships, and Gul's hanging heart suddenly falls. Then he asked with concern:

"Mr. Jose, the Earl is busy with the military affairs of the kingdom, do you have time to delay?"

This is the most real problem, the nobles along the coast are suffering from the obstruction of the route, and do not ask Hudson to intervene, the most critical factor is that the threat of aliens is greater than that of ghost ships.

No matter how rampant the ghost ship is, it is only making noise on the sea, and it can't shake everyone's foundation, but the alien race is here to destroy the human race.

"Don't worry, the ghost also has a lot of wisdom. Even if the Earl doesn't have time to protect you, he can negotiate with the Ghost King.

The mountain realms lack population, you are worried about the threat of ghost ships, and we are worried about accidents with immigrants!

Even if we can't prevent them from plundering the Quartet, at least we can get the Ghost King to agree not to touch our ship. ”

Jose flickered hard.

Whether he can solve the problem through negotiation, he has no clue at all.

After all, the matter of the ghost ship is highly classified, and only Hudson knows about it.

The most important thing now is to get the fleet over and bring the migrants back.

If there is an accident, it will be a breach of contract by the "Three Kings of the Netherworld", and it will not be possible to verify it anyway.

Come to think of it, things still have to be reported.

According to the plan, after the resettlement of the immigrants, he would also go to the Duchy of Moxi with the army.

It is not only to use his military ability, but also to reward him for his past achievements.

In the Alpha Kingdom, if a commoner wants to become a nobleman, it is impossible to do it without military merit.

Jose was a nobleman before, but because he was made a commoner as a scapegoat, it will only be more difficult to become a nobleman.

Without enough eye-catching feats to gag the victims, it is simply impossible to obtain a knighthood.

If the military merit that others need to become a nobleman is one, then the military merit that Jose needs is ten.

The black pot is not easy to carry.

Crown Prince Caesar became the king that year, and no matter how much resentment everyone had, they could only hold back, and the account fell all on Jose.

This almost cut off his path to self-reliance.

Follow Hudson, you can also help him block these hidden swords, if you go out independently and start your own business, you don't know how to die.

……

The letter reached Hudson, and the army was already in its hands.

Nominally, it is a training exercise, and anyone with geographical knowledge knows that this is preparing for the Principality of Moxi.

is also leading troops to fight, and it is indeed much easier to command elite troops.

Neither the speed of the march nor the formation of the large army could be compared with any army Hudson had led before.

Thinking back to those 10,000-strong cavalry regiments in the past, it's shit now.

The horse cavalry who can only bully the orc cannon fodder, not to mention, the gap is completely worlds apart.

Hudson basically didn't bother with anything along the way, and even if he encountered a problem, the officers below would find a way to solve it themselves.

Even if there is a big trouble, it is a trouble and a solution to be reported together, waiting for the approval of him, the boss.

There were not many affairs in the army, so Hudson had the leisure to think about the affairs of the territory.

Regarding the problem of the ghost ship, he admitted that he did not explain it in detail enough, which made his subordinates misunderstand.

But there is no way, this kind of thing can't be put on the table.

Originally, he still had a headache, how to solve the problem of the ghost ship, but he didn't expect his subordinates to help him think of a way.

"Negotiation" is good, the compromise between the human race and the alien is not once or twice.

The legendary heroes of the ancients are able to negotiate with the evil gods. In contrast, negotiating with a ghost ship can only be considered pediatric.

The name of the "Three Kings of the Netherworld" is indeed fierce, but his popularity is not low.

The two holy realms of one dragon and one bear suppress the three kings of the Netherworld, which can also be justified. Even if everyone is suspicious, they will only think that the hidden power of the Alpha Kingdom has intervened.

Thanks to the Holy See's propaganda in the outside world, everyone thought that the three ghost ships were all at the level of the Holy Realm, and no one would have thought that a strong person of this level could be enslaved.

However, things did not end so easily, and once the ships in the mountain territories could pass freely, the nobles of the coastal areas of the kingdom would definitely come to the door for help.

A piece of cake as big as maritime trade, no one will give up easily.

"Eating alone" is "poisoning food", such a big cake is not something Hudson can swallow alone, compromise is the inevitable result.

If you ask for benefits, you can obviously only come according to the needs of the ghost ship, otherwise things will be in trouble.

Of course, acting as a middleman cannot be done in vain. It's just that this kind of reward depends on everyone's consciousness.

It's a pity that the ghost ship is not a dragon, if it is a dragon who blocks the road and robs, it can directly collect protection money, and no one will doubt it.

This trip is destined to be indispensable, even if it is just for show, it must be done through the cutscenes.
