The King

Chapter 181: Go to the front line (ask for tickets)

  Chapter 181 On the front line (seeking tickets)

  The army appeared under the city of Dapace, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the Principality of Moxi.

  Chris IX personally led a group of princes and nobles to greet him, and performed the highest standard reception ceremony.

  Although he knew it was just for show, Hudson was still in a good mood. It is better to be valued than to be underestimated.

  Of course, to be able to get this treatment, apart from the fact that the Wrightshire Army was the first reinforcement to arrive, it is more about the military appearance they showed, which can be used.

  Change a mob to come and harm the localities all the way. Before the people reach the front line, the notoriety has already spread throughout the country, and there is no capital to use it for political propaganda.

   Tens of thousands of people walked together at a uniform pace, and the momentum alone made the Moxi Principality very satisfied.

  I personally confirmed that this is a real elite teacher, definitely not a parallel importer.

  As for why this elite came from a remote county, that is the internal affairs of the Alpha Kingdom, and there is no obligation to explain it to the outside world.

  The army was stationed in the camp outside, but Hudson followed Crown Prince Caesar into the city for a banquet.

  Different from before, in order to establish the image of a strict self-disciplined general, he must stay in the barracks for a long time.

  The necessary entertainment involving military affairs is obviously different from the nature of the nobles' treats along the way. This is a public matter.

  The noble officers below can only stay in the camp obediently. Even if you want to go, you can't receive a banquet.

  As the lord of a country, if he is willing to personally invite Hudson to a banquet, that is already the limit of a corporal.

  The barons and knights who are further down have such a huge disparity in status that they are not qualified to participate in this kind of banquet at all.

  If you want to break the limit, there is only one situation, and that is the celebration banquet.

  Riding on horseback in the bustling city of Dapace, the air is filled with a tense atmosphere of war.

  It is only more than two hundred miles away from the front line, and it seems that there are three lines of defense in the middle, but in fact one is weaker than the other.

  The vast plains made the Principality of Moxi strong and prosperous, and also determined the strategic defense difficulties of the Principality of Moxi.

   Except that the Fort Augustus line of defense was built on the remnants of the Parhati Mountains, the following lines of defense were all built on the plains.

   Lost the most important line of defense at the beginning, and Hudson didn't know how to evaluate the Principality of Moxi.

   Said they were useless, and now relying on the second line of defense, they temporarily blocked the front of the orc army.

   To say that they are powerful, they lost the most important line of defense.

  If the Augustsburg defense line is in hand, even if the orc army concentrates the main force to attack, the Principality of Moxi can hold on for a long time.

   Now, we can only expect reinforcements from our allies.

   While the luxurious banquet opened Hudson's eyes, he couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the Principality of Moxi.

  During the war, they dared to spend so much. I don't know if it's because the family is really rich, or because I haven't experienced the power of the beastmen's beatings.

  Compared to the outbreak of the Alpha Kingdom war, the king took the lead in stopping the banquet. The expectations of the two sides for war losses are not at the same level at all.

   "Princess Anne and Princess Susan are here!"

  Beauties can attract people's attention anywhere, especially beauties with superimposed status and temperament, which are more lethal to men.

  The two beauties, one big and one small, instantly attracted a large number of outstanding young men. Watching the crowd surround him, Hudson silently chose to watch from afar.

  The two in front of him are not something he can peek at. The mainland of Aslant is strictly hierarchical, and political marriage is essential for the king's daughter to marry.

   Either the prince of various countries, or the eldest son of a great noble. The rules of the game are like this, marriages across classes are doomed not to be blessed.

  Looking at the situation at the scene, you can tell that on the surface, the two princesses treat all the objects of courtship equally.

  In fact, the treatment enjoyed by Crown Prince Caesar was obviously different. Although there are many words to say, the eyes have already said everything.

  In addition to the young heroes who were immersed in it, all the bystanders including Hudson saw that it was unusual.

   Everyone is a smart person, and no one is foolish to tear down the stage at this time. As the heir of the Alpha Kingdom, Crown Prince Caesar has the capital to enjoy differential treatment.

   For all the big figures present, if it is possible to promote the marriage of a certain princess and Crown Prince Caesar, it will definitely be beneficial to the Principality of Moxi.

  Perhaps this kind of matter, the two royal families have secretly communicated. Otherwise, there are so many nobles in the Alpha Kingdom, why does it have to be Crown Prince Caesar to lead the team?

   Even if it is gold-plated, it is enough to arrange the position of the deputy. It is irresponsible to let a prince who has never been on the battlefield command an army to fight.

  The high-ranking princess dare not provoke her, but Hudson also keeps a respectful distance from the ladies and ladies below.

   There is no way, I don’t know anyone, who knows where they all come from?

   Aventure, that also scores time. If at this juncture, the waistband is not managed well, and people are offended without knowing it, it is easy to be cheated.

  …

   "Viscount Hudson, don't you want to chat with the noble ladies?"

   While enjoying the delicious food alone, a strange voice sounded in his ears. Looking along the sound, Hudson was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

   "Let's leave this opportunity to others. I already have a fiancée, so I won't join in the fun now!"

   This is the truth, he can only see the untouchable noble lady, he is really not interested.

  Different from a singer like Isabel, even if she is in the house, it is just a romantic affair.

  If the lady of the same status, or a nobleman with a higher rank, gets infected, my fiancée can't explain it.

   Maybe the marriage will fail, but instead it will become a feud. After all, to nobles, divas are just for fun.

  My father-in-law has raised a lot of people, and Melissa's psychological endurance has probably been tempered by her father's practice.

  No matter how much you love her, the diva is always just a diva, and it is impossible to threaten the status of the mistress.

  It can be different if you change to a noble lady. If this kind of extramarital affair continues, it can easily be transformed into a mistress and reverse the position.

  Although divorce is not popular in Aslante, there are still widows!

  No one can bear this kind of existence that may threaten their status. Especially before the wedding, there is no possibility of tolerance.

   "That's really a pity! If this news gets out, I'm afraid many noble ladies will feel sad secretly.

  Look over there, how many noble ladies are staring at you? "

   Prime Minister Herceg laughed.

  Hudson's appearance can only be considered average, and he is not the type of heartthrob, but he has already gained fame, and his whole body exudes the charm of a strong man.

  Mu Qiang is a woman's natural instinct.

  The status of Crown Prince Caesar is too high for everyone to reach. Hudson, a growth stock, is also the favorite of noble ladies.

   "Yes, then I can only regret it.

  However, I dare not compare with Your Excellency the Prime Minister for my charm.

  The group of noble ladies over there are desperate to see through now! "

   Seeing that Prime Minister Herceg was deliberately approaching, Hudson also let go of the concerns about the gap in everyone's identities, and directly joked.

  Anyway, he is now a guest, so even if he is slightly rude, it is not a big problem.

   "Viscount Hudson can really speak, but I am still very confident in my charm.

  Even when I am old, there are not a few noble ladies who try to plot my body. It's a pity that time is not forgiving, and your body is no younger than yours. "

  Hearing Prime Minister Herceg's narcissistic words, Hudson rolled his eyes secretly. With a potbellied appearance, he dares to talk about charm.

  If it weren't for the status bonus of the prime minister, I'm afraid everyone would ignore him, let alone throw himself into his arms.

  If you carefully study the identities of these ladies, you will find that most of them married into declining noble families, or were directly widowed.

   Being able to play happily is purely because no one cares. In other words, interests need to be sacrificed in exchange for some family interests.

   Morality has always been a luxury. For the rotten nobles, this thing doesn't exist at all.

   Not knowing Prime Minister Herceg's intentions, Hudson simply dealt with some irrelevant topics. Regarding specific affairs, it is one push, four, five, six.

  Clarify your position with practical actions: talk to Crown Prince Caesar if you have any problems, and others will speak lightly and will not join in the fun.

   It is really immoral to blame the boss directly, but who made Crown Prince Caesar busy chasing women at this moment?

  Deep in his heart, Hudson already faintly felt something was wrong. The Principality of Moxi is playing a beauty trick. If the young crown prince falls for the trick, he will be in big trouble.

  The only thing to be thankful for is that he made preparations in advance and labeled the "elite" for the Wrightshire Army.

   An elite division is a luxury in any country. Unless it is absolutely necessary, everyone will not abandon an elite army.

   I was afraid of bad luck, so I ran into the main force of the orcs. The scene of the fake elite facing the real elite is simply unimaginable.

  Of course, if the Mongolian Army was defeated in the wild, that would be no big deal.

  Under the same strength, there is no human army whose combat effectiveness can be compared with Beamon.

   Faced with such a powerful opponent, even if they were defeated, no one would doubt the combat effectiveness of the Wright Army.

   Characters who are good at using soldiers will not collapse, but "good luck" characters will be difficult to maintain.

   Unless you encounter the Beamon Army, you can safely evacuate with most of the soldiers and horses. You can also announce to the outside world with a cheeky face: retreat under the hands of the Beamon Legion.

  …

   Afraid of what to come, on the fifth day after the banquet, Hudson received an order to send troops.

   "Your Highness, all our troops have not yet arrived. With only the strength of the Wrightshire Army, they rushed to the front line, and I am afraid that even the waves will not be stirred up."

   Hudson argued with reason.

  He has already made up his mind, if there is no satisfactory answer, whoever wants to do what he wants to do with the matter of sending troops.

  Even the crown prince cannot force a nobleman to lead his troops to die.

   Things get worse, Hudson certainly has a hard time, and the reputation of Crown Prince Caesar will also be affected.

   No one likes a person with a crooked ass, not even the crown prince. Before making a decision, the crown prince must also prioritize protecting the interests of the kingdom.

   "Viscount Hudson, don't be angry. If I hadn't had to, I would not agree to the proposal of the Principality of Moxi.

   It is really an emergency on the front line, and the Terence defense line that the Principality of Moxi painstakingly built is now becoming shaky.

  The morale of the frontline officers and soldiers has been greatly affected, and they are in urgent need of a good news stimulus.

  The Wright County Legion is now rushing to the front line, mainly for the middle and lower level officers and soldiers of the Principality of Moxi, and does not need to go into battle immediately.

  We just need to take the army and patrol the front line to prove to the frontline soldiers of the Principality of Moxi that reinforcements are coming.

  After the task is completed, the Wrightshire Army will be transferred to the rear castle to garrison. As long as the front line doesn't collapse, we basically won't encounter the orc army. "

   Seeing the relaxed expression on Crown Prince Caesar's face, Hudson was also speechless. On the bright side, there is nothing wrong with the proposal of the Principality of Moxi.

   But the battlefield is ever-changing. If it really comes to the front line, can it be as simple as the Moxi people said?

   "Basically there will be no encounters with the orc army", which means that encounters may occur. What is the probability of this encounter, I am afraid no one can say clearly.

   Judging by the appearance of Crown Prince Caesar, it is obvious that he has agreed to the Mosi people. If he refuses at this time, Master Hudson will not be a human being inside and out.

   After all, everyone promised not to participate in the war, just an armed parade.

   "His Royal Highness, if the Moxi people can guarantee it, then it is not a bad idea to go to the front line.

   It’s just that the ugly words must be said first. In case something happens midway and we need reinforcements, it depends on the situation.

   Now the flags of the five royal families of the orcs all appeared in the Principality of Moxi. Even if not all of the main force came, at least 10 to 20% came, and it was still increasing.

  In case something happens to them together, heavy losses are inevitable, and it is unknown whether they can escape unscathed.

  For the sake of safety, it is best for His Highness to stay in Da Pest City. "

   Hudson said unhappily.

   I don’t know if it’s due to the beauty trick. Anyway, Crown Prince Caesar was able to get rid of him as a front-line commander and directly agreed to the conditions of the Mosi people. Hudson dared not take it to the front line.

   In case something goes wrong on the battlefield and the situation gets out of control, as a vassal of the king, he has no way to leave the crown prince and run away.

  For the sake of safety, it is better to throw this unstable factor to the Principality of Moxi.

  As long as they don't stay together, even if an accident happens to the Crown Prince, he will be able to clear up his responsibility.

  As if stimulated, Crown Prince Caesar looked at Hudson angrily and asked: "How can this work?

  If I am not with the troops, what am I, a commander?

  Viscount Hudson, don't forget that I am the supreme commander of the coalition forces! "

   Seeing this scene, Hudson was also a little confused. Judging from Caesar's performance alone, he didn't know if he was acting or if he was really angry.

   "Your Highness, our task is to carry out an armed parade. Naturally, the faster the better.

  You represent not only yourself, but also the Alpha Kingdom. In terms of etiquette, one must not embarrass the kingdom.

   If you come to the front line in person, all kinds of ritual utensils will be a big trouble. This will greatly reduce the mobility of the troops. "

   Hudson talked nonsense.

   It is true that the ostentation of representing the kingdom cannot be spared, but it also depends on when. They have all gone to the battlefield, and they have to abide by these rules, which is purely a joke.

   Seeing signs of escalation in the conflict, Count Jose on the side hastily persuaded: "Your Highness, Viscount Hudson is right.

  The Kingdom’s face cannot be lost, but these things are really not suitable to be brought to the front line. In case of encountering an army of orcs, accidentally missing it on the battlefield, and falling into the hands of orcs, it will not end well. "

   After all, he knows the military. Hudson is worried that Crown Prince Caesar will go to the front to make trouble, and Earl Jose is also worried about Caesar's safety.

  Different from the human civil war, the orcs don't care about their status. Not to mention the crown prince, even the king would still kill him.

"Humph!"

   After a cold drink, expressing dissatisfaction. Crown Prince Caesar waved his sleeves, turned and left without looking back.

   Whether he was really angry or acting, Hudson didn't have the time to delve into it. Anyway, he knew that this trouble was temporarily out of the way.

  Without a direct supervisor, Master Hudson has the final say on how to fight on the battlefield.

   "Viscount Hudson, I'm sorry. Your Royal Highness, he has been in a bad mood recently, so he lost his composure just now.

   You still need to worry about things in the army. Especially after going to the front line, the Moxi people may not really fulfill their promises.

  If you find something is wrong, you need to make a decision on the spot. As for the military order, unless it was sent by our people and passed down from generation to generation by others, you can deny it at all. "

   Count Jose said rather embarrassingly.

  Crown Prince Caesar can slap his **** and leave, but his deputy must stay to deal with the aftermath. The crown prince above couldn't afford to offend, and the powerful nobles below, he also didn't want to offend.

   Along the way, he has experienced Hudson's control over the Wright County Army.

  Even if the nobles below wanted to flatter the crown prince, none of them dared to take action.

   So much so that the order of the crown prince must be approved by Hudson before the officers and soldiers below will seriously implement it.

   This is also the source of the conflict between the two sides. After finally having a chance to command the army, he found out that he was a rubber stamp, and normal people would be angry.

  Crown Prince Caesar has a good temper if he can hold back all the time.

   No matter how good your temper is, it has its limits. The unhappy conversation just now made Caesar realize that his dignity had been seriously challenged.

   It is understandable to persuade him to stay, but he has to come up with a decent reason anyway. Directly using the nonsense excuse of "etiquette" made him feel that his IQ was deeply insulted.

   What was even more exasperating was the deputy, not only did not stand by his side as the coach, but followed him along.

  A wonderful misunderstanding that escalates the conflict. It made Hudson a little dumbfounded.

  From beginning to end, he thought that Crown Prince Caesar was acting. Accompanied by a beautiful princess in the city of Da Pest, who is full and insists on going to the front line to experience the sword, light and sword?

  Explanation is impossible to explain, and this kind of thing will only get darker and darker. After all, Crown Prince Caesar was just a young man who had not received severe beatings from society, and was not used to being manipulated by the aristocratic circle.

   If you can't stand this little grievance, you will have a hard time living in the future. The great nobles in the kingdom don't have a fuel-efficient lamp.

  If the king is slightly weak, they will rub their noses on their faces. Stronger than a hero like Caesar III, he is also not less angry with the domestic nobles.

  If you want to become a qualified king, you need to go through a lot of things like being reprimanded by nobles in the future. If the heart is not strong enough, I am afraid that I will be directly **** off.
