The King

  Chapter 153 Orc Invasion

   When it was time for the banquet, the noble group returned to harmony, as if nothing happened during the day.

   Accepting reality so quickly is naturally not easy for the great nobles to talk about.

  Everyone maintains the rules, not only to safeguard the kingship, but also to limit the kingship. The essence is to safeguard their own interests.

  According to the usual practice, the king is too jumpy, and everyone will come to persuade him to get him back on the right track.

   Now that there is harmony, there is only one explanation—the situation in northern Xinjiang is tense, and the kingdom needs to strengthen the centralization of power.

  There are precedents to follow. When the previous wars broke out, the power of the central government of the Alpha Kingdom would be strengthened so as to be able to better resist the orc invasion.

  The only exception was the last war.

  Because the king was too weak, the central government did not have enough prestige, and failed to coordinate the joint operations of the major forces, which led to the loss of cities and territories of the Alpha Kingdom and heavy losses.

learn from mistakes.

  At this juncture, even if everyone doesn’t want to see Caesar III continue to strengthen the kingship, in order to better fight against the invasion of the orcs, the major forces can only hold their noses and recognize it.

   If there is no accident, there will be various temptations and games to determine each other's bottom line.

   As a member of the newly promoted middle nobles, Hudson is not yet qualified to participate in the high-level game, and all he can do is wait quietly.

  The welcome banquet for the newly promoted nobles is still of a very high standard.

  A large number of nobles gathered in the capital, and Caesar III also came in person and gave a passionate speech.

  In the capital of geniuses, the most eye-catching is no longer young talents like Hudson, but Princess Madeleine.

  The real proud girl of heaven, she blew up the banquet scene as soon as she appeared on the stage.

  Hudson has seen a lot of beauties, but none of them can compare with Princess Madeleine.

   It's not a matter of appearance. From the perspective of appearance and figure, Princess Madeleine is not top-notch, but there is one thing that makes up for all these deficiencies.

  The innate noble temperament, even just a glance from a distance, can leave a deep impression on people.

   "What are you looking at, you already have a fiancée."

  The familiar voice in his ear pulled the intoxicated Hudson back.

   After seeing who was coming, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  At first, I thought that being caught by my fiancée would be a disaster for me, but I didn't expect that it was Isabel who was imitating Melissa's voice.

   "Miss Isabel, you will scare people to death if you play like this!"

   Hudson said angrily.

  Divas take the artistic route, versatility is the basic quality, and it is not surprising that they can imitate shows.

   It's just that he couldn't figure out which power was full of food and sent such a stunner to stare at him.

   Hudson also had deep doubts about the kingdom's security system, and actually allowed a singer to sneak in here disguised as a man.

  If it was an assassin, wouldn't Caesar III be dangerous?

  Of course, ordinary killers can't do anything if they get in. All the nobles present basically have such skills, so the **** should not be a big problem.

   "Viscount Hudson, what are you talking about? I am Lord Isabel, not some lady!"

  Even if she put on men's clothes, she couldn't hide the obsequiousness all over her body.

   With such a deceitful explanation, Hudson rolled his eyes directly. If Princess Madeleine hadn't attracted everyone's attention, I'm afraid Isabel would have been recognized long ago.

   But this explanation also explained why Isabel was able to sneak in.

   "Lord" in the Alpha Kingdom is a respectful title for noble men, and does not refer to a specific title.

   Diva, has aristocratic status?

   It seems to make sense. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and when there are many nobles, all kinds of strange things will appear.

  The probability of a nobleman becoming a singer is very low, but it is not uncommon for a singer to become a nobleman.

  Some guys with brains on their brains often do things without going through their brains, and they can directly confer divas as nobles when they are happy.

  This kind of canonization is usually just a joke, and the mainstream circle will definitely not admit it.

   "Okay then, my respected Lord Isabel. Did you try your best to sneak in because you wanted to win the favor of Princess Madeleine?"

   Hudson said slightly mockingly.

  It is good to favor beauties, but beauties with ulterior motives are another story.

  As if she had touched a sore foot, Isabel's complexion suddenly became ugly. The rivalry between women is more serious than the comparison between men.

  Facing Princess Madeleine, even though her figure and appearance were all dominant, she was still turned into a scum in seconds.

   It can only be said that beauty and figure are worthless in front of temperament.

   Of course, if Isabel also has a father who is a king and a mother who is a queen, then everything is different.

   "Viscount Hudson, don't you want to get rid of me on purpose? Could it be that you want to..."

  While speaking, Isabel deliberately narrowed the distance. The tangy aroma spread over, making Hudson very upset.

  The mind is very clear, but the body is a little bit overwhelmed, and the hormones secreted soar.

   "Sorry, Lord Isabel. I'm only interested in women, especially pretty women.

  I'm very busy now, this is not the place to talk about things, if there is anything we need to talk about separately after the banquet. "

   After speaking, Hudson quickly turned and left.

   There is no shame in admitting desire, but being dominated by desire is a disaster.

  This is a public place, and any untimely behavior may be noticed by interested people.

  …

   "Urgent military report!"

  The griffin cavalry descended from the sky and landed on the square in front of the palace, and a sealed military report was passed to Caesar III by the guards as quickly as possible.

   "There is an urgent report from northern Xinjiang, the orcs are gathering troops to the front, the war has come!

  The banquet ended early, and the ministers followed me to hold an emergency meeting.

  All feudal nobles, immediately return to the territory to recruit troops and wait for the call of the kingdom! "

  The words of Caesar III brought an unsatisfactory end to the banquet.

  The military newspaper on the front line is the best hangover soup, which instantly wakes everyone up from their drunkenness.

  Compared with the big news of the orc invasion, no kind of woman is worth mentioning.

   Going back!

   Hudson was very dissatisfied with the hastily ended trip to the capital. You must know that many of his plans have not yet been implemented.

  There are people in the DPRK who are good at being officials, and an opportunity to make contacts and establish a network of relationships died prematurely.

   This kind of thing can't be rushed, and making friends too deliberately will only make people feel disgusted.

  Early the next morning, Hudson and a group of nobles from the southeastern province set off to return, not even having time to say goodbye to Melissa.

  The war is imminent, everything must serve the war, and everyone has no time to be hypocritical.

  Hudson can only entrust the tribe to handle the affairs in the royal capital. At this time, we can only believe in the power of the family.

  The Koslow family has been in decline for many years, but all the connections left by the ancestors have not been broken.

   It turned out that I didn't have much contact. It was because I was a down-and-out relative, so I was embarrassed to come to the door.

   After all, the world of nobility is real. Everyone will only play with the same kind of people who are of the same level and have a strong relationship.

  If the little aristocrat insists on squeezing into the upper circle, it will only be annoying. Even if it is an in-law relationship, it will become impatient after a long time.

  The status and status are not equal. With the death of the older generation, there will naturally be fewer direct walks, but the exchange of etiquette has not been interrupted.

   Now that the Koslow family has returned, Hudson, who lacks connections, naturally wants to pick up this family legacy.

   Don't expect to get much help, at least someone will lead the way, so as to avoid random collisions with black eyes.

   There is no accident, and the relationship that can be maintained so far is basically the original close relatives-in-law.

   A hundred years is enough to change many people and things, even if it is the most recent one, it is the third generation.

  If it was later, it is reckoned that this last connection would also slowly disappear in the years.

  …

  The Orc Empire, Crown Prince Alex's tent has arrived at the front line.

  Emperor Beamon's stand was too firm, and Alex, whose arms couldn't hold back his thighs, could only bite the bullet and go to the front to command the army.

   After all, it has been abandoned for decades, even if it is just acting, it can become a living habit branded on the body.

  After leaving Yingyingyanyan in the mansion, Alex felt uncomfortable all over. Especially entering the barracks to command the army made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

   "Butzweig, the pre-formation meeting of the five royal families is about to be held, and I won't be able to do it all at once. You will have to worry about military affairs."

  Compared to leading troops to fight, Alex felt that in his current state, it was more appropriate to play politics.

  The political game on the front line is nothing more than a battle for the right to speak in war.

  As the head of the five imperial courts, the Bimon Imperial Court will be able to take the biggest piece of cake regardless of the final outcome of the game.

   There is no unified standard for the division of political interests. Ordinary people can't tell if they are making money or losing money.

   But leading troops to fight is different, that is to do it with real swords and guns, and it is clear at a glance if you lose the battle.

  As the crown prince of the Beamon family, Alex, who lacks prestige, cannot bear the risk of defeat.

  Under this background, no matter how much he fears the ability of the nephew in front of him, he can only entrust the affairs of the general.

   "Don't worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will take care of military affairs.

  The 20,000 troops of the Bimon family will arrive at the front line in ten days.

  The 300,000 vassal race troops have now assembled 50,000 people, and the rest will be assembled within three months.

  Combined with the 100,000 royal army stationed at the border, even our family is enough to launch a large-scale war against the human race. "

  Prince Butzweig said slowly.

  As a favorable contender for the throne of the Beamon Imperial Court, in order to accumulate military merits, Prince Butzweig came to the front line early to serve as the governor.

  Unfortunately, Bi Menghuang obviously likes his son more, and would rather push Alex, who is recognized by the outside world, to the top, than give him a chance.

  Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he understood what Emperor Bimon did. The orc empire does not have so many moral and etiquette constraints, and the change of imperial power has never been peaceful.

  Being able to survive better than Emperor Meng, if he is replaced by a powerful crown prince, it is very likely that he will be in power because he cannot wait to launch a coup in advance.

  In contrast, it is easier to control such a waste snack as Alex.

   It doesn't matter if you are sensual or not, I didn't expect him to be successful.

   What Prince Butzweig couldn't understand was why his shrewd grandfather sent this useless crown prince over to command the armed forces.

   Fortunately, this rumored good-for-nothing uncle really only knows how to play with women. Although the ability to command troops is not up to the mark, the victory lies in knowing how to delegate power.

   "Butzweig, this war is no different from previous temptations, and once it starts, it definitely won't end in a year or so.

  I am thinner than the Meng family, and every soldier is precious, and must not be easily consumed on the battlefield.

  The five royal families acted together, seemingly as close as one family, but in fact they were still fighting on their own.

  Our enemies on the battlefield are not only humans, but also beware of knives from within.

  Now you have a heavy responsibility, any negligence may cause heavy losses to my Beamon family. "

   Crown Prince Alex reminded earnestly.

   Originally wanted to keep hidden, but was pushed to the foreground, and he had to show some ability.

  Continue to pretend to be stupid, then you will become really stupid. If there is a problem on the front line, it will be a tragedy for him, the crown prince.

   As for whether it will arouse the fear of the outside world, it has come to this point, how can we look forward and backward.

  …

  Running all the way on the horse road, when Hudson and his party arrived in the southeastern province, the call-up order from the royal capital had already arrived first.

  Even if the war horse has the blood of a monster, it is still a creature that runs on the ground, not as fast as flying in the sky.

   Before he had time to return to the territory, Hudson was stopped halfway by people from the Governor's Mansion, and was invited to attend the military meeting in Beda City.

  Different from the previous crowding out, at this critical moment, the Viscount Sith, who was the representative of the northern nobles, also appeared in the meeting room.

   "I'll just wait for you guys. Now that all the important personnel are in place, I won't waste any time.

   You must have heard about it. The Orc Empire has begun to mobilize, and the kingdom can only follow up.

  According to the information collected by the Kingdom, the total force mobilized by the Orc Empire this time will exceed one million, and may even reach two million.

  Even with the help of the Warhammer Kingdom and the Principality of Moxie to share the pressure, this is still a life-and-death battle for us.

  The kingdom must go all out, any negligence will bring a **** lesson.

  According to His Majesty's call-up order, the southeastern province will mobilize 30,000 troops within a month and send them to the front line to reinforce the defense line in northern Xinjiang.

   Everyone must know the list of the first batch of mobilized personnel.

   Those young men are idle and have no place to release their energy all day long, so give them a chance to serve the country.

  I calculated, in addition to these people, there is still a gap of 15,000 people.

   The gap is not very big, so I am too lazy to subdivide it. Fifteen counties were present, with one thousand people from each county.

  The requirements are very simple and can be obtained. We can't send everyone to the front line. The reinforcements are there to guard the frontier, not to send heads to the orcs thousands of miles away.

   How to allocate specifically, you go back and discuss behind closed doors. Anyway, we must follow the rules, and if there is any trouble, we will be punished severely.

  As the kingdom's rear, my southeastern province is behind in the mobilization sequence because we have always shouldered the heavy responsibility of the kingdom's granary.

   Before the outbreak of a full-scale war, I must arrange the follow-up work before I lead the army to go out.

  From now on, every month we will supply the front lines with fifteen million pounds of rye, eight million pounds of potatoes, five million pounds...

  The specific tasks will be implemented in each county, and then you will implement them in detail for each lord.

   Don't try to play tricks, the Governor's Mansion will send people to supervise, and the Kingdom will also send a supervision team to spot check.

  Anyone who dares to do something on this will be punished as a rebellion of the human race.

  …”
