The King

  Chapter 248 Was raped by someone

  In the days of fishing, time always passes quickly. More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. In order to urge the coalition forces to send troops, envoys from the Warhammer Kingdom came to harass them every day.

   On this issue, Hudson's position is consistent with that of the princes and nobles of the Principality of Moxi, and they have made up their minds to wait for the reinforcements to arrive before sending troops.

   It’s funny to say that after receiving the news of the Alpha Kingdom’s counterattack, the Warhammer Kingdom decided that the orcs would run away. As a result, the army led by Joseph II was defeated again.

  When the 700,000 troops retreated all the way to the west of the kingdom, the troops following them were actually less than 50,000, another epic defeat.

  Without any surprises, Joseph II and Crown Prince Caesar, the two "crashing dragons and phoenixes", suddenly became the most eye-catching cubs in this war.

  The orc army is indeed going to run, but before running away, it does not prevent them from consuming a wave of human vitality.

   Just went shopping, and everyone knows that the Three Kingdoms in the North are the most determined "beast destroyers" among the human race. In the next big counterattack of the human race, the Three Kingdoms will definitely spend a lot of money.

   Don't take advantage of the time now to annihilate the army of the Warhammer Kingdom, the next encounter will be in the Orc Empire.

   Successfully made a big ticket, but still failed to satisfy the appetite of the orcs. The army of the Warhammer Kingdom on the steel defense line is now also the meat on their chopping board.

  If time permits, it is estimated that they will make persistent efforts to win the western part of the Warhammer Kingdom in one fell swoop.

   In fact, the orc army has already moved. It's just that many places in the western mountainous area are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Marshal Borg, who went home to retire, was elected as the commander in chief by the local nobles to preside over the defense of the western provinces.

  In addition, the number of orc infantry who penetrated into the Warhammer Kingdom was limited, and they were reluctant to use cavalry to attack the city. The western mountainous area of ​​the Warhammer Kingdom, which was weak, was actually defended.

  From this point of view, Joseph II is not useless. At least in the previous battle, the orc infantry was beaten up in advance, laying the foundation for the current defense.

  It's a pity that the western nobles would not appreciate it, and they didn't even welcome Joseph II with his army. More than one nobleman refused the king's access to the castle.

  Everything is caused by interests. In this great battle, the eastern aristocrats, who have a higher voice, deliberately arranged for the private army of the western aristocrats to cut off their rear in order to preserve their own advantages.

  If the army successfully completes the strategic transfer, with the advantage of strength in hand, the western nobles can only pinch their noses to recognize it.

  It's a pity that a big defeat ruined everything. The eastern aristocratic group that was originally superior in strength can no longer hold down the western aristocrats.

  In this dispute between the eastern and western aristocratic groups, as the king, Joseph II seemed to remain neutral, but in fact he still preferred the eastern aristocrats.

   There is no medicine for regret in politics. If you make a wrong choice, you have to bear the price. Even the king is no exception.

  The army on the front line is still there, and the balance of the Warhammer Kingdom has not been completely broken.

  As long as these troops are kept, the eastern nobles can still maintain their military advantage over the western nobles.

   Unfortunately, these reasons are completely meaningless to Hudson.

   The internal struggle between the two camps of the Warhammer Kingdom, no matter who wins or loses, will not affect his interests. There's no need to take risks for a group of unrelated people.

  Not to mention the Moxi people, I am afraid that I wish this old neighbor would be even more miserable. The more chaos in the Warhammer Kingdom, the better for them.

  The war has reached this stage, it is no longer a time for everyone to work together to fight against a powerful enemy, but more to make their own calculations.

   No backstabbing, that is a qualified ally. It would be too embarrassing for them to send troops to rescue them at the risk of heavy losses.

  Looking at the thick gift list, Hudson sighed and said, "Tom, send someone to send the things back.

  Tell them that there is no need to send them anymore. This matter is beyond my ability and cannot be done! "

   It is a matter of principle to collect money to do things. Since the matter cannot be handled, this gift cannot be accepted.

   In this regard, Hudson has always been very restrained. In the Principality of Moxi these days, as long as they have given gifts, there is no one who does not agree.

   "Okay, Earl! I'll arrange it right away."

   After finishing speaking, Tom has already exited the room. Acting vigorously and resolutely is Hudson's consistent style, which directly affects the attitude of the people below.

  All the things that are ordered to go on are implemented as soon as possible. The bad habits of delay and prevarication have not yet appeared in the small team.

   After dealing with a small matter, Hudson got busy again. The era of the great counter-offensive has come, and the end of the war is not far away.

  Xing Xing came here to fight **** battles, so it was not a waste of time. Hudson really has no shortage of money now.

   Leaving aside the hundreds of thousands of gold coins and bonds given by the Mosi people, the loot is not a small sum of money, not to mention the real big head is the gray income that cannot be seen.

  Many things are inconvenient to realize, and the specific figures are difficult to count for a while. Anyway, in this war, Hudson accumulated wealth that would be difficult to possess in a lifetime in peacetime.

   What is really valuable is not these visible incomes. More are some intangible assets, especially various knowledge materials.

  Many things that are rarely seen in ordinary times, because of the war, have been on the market one after another, and Hudson has really gained a lot.

  The most important thing is that he doesn't need to pay for these things, just show a little intention, and someone will collect them and send them over.

  The benefits of power are fully reflected here.

   These are just a part. If someone goes deep into the expeditionary force, they will find that there is something wrong with those "engineering regiments".

  It seems that they are all peasants, but in fact they are all kinds of craftsmen. In troubled times, these people are not very eye-catching, but when it comes to rebuilding after the war, they become rare talents.

   It doesn’t matter if someone finds out, Hudson painstakingly selected them, and he will definitely not let them out.

  With Hudson's current status, unless someone's head is flooded, he won't come over to overwhelm him.

  Everything is going on in a low-key manner. Knowing that the Principality of Moxi is currently short of people, Hudson has done a good job. The recruited talents are directly incorporated into the expeditionary force, eliminating the possibility of others poaching corners.

  …

   "Your Excellency, the king's special envoy, Earl Lauren, is here to visit!"

  Hearing this unexpected news, Hudson's face changed slightly. It seems that nothing major has happened in the Principality of Moxi recently. The country sent a special envoy here. What does this mean?

  Even if the two countries need in-depth exchanges and communication, they should first consult him, the commander of the coalition forces, or directly authorize him to handle it.

   Hudson was very dissatisfied with this sudden crossing of the line. Even if you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, you have to wait until the end of the war.

  At this time, not to mention a special envoy of the king, even if the king came in person, there was no way to kick Hudson away.

  It is impossible for Caesar III not to know such an obvious truth. But the king's special envoy still appeared outside the door.

"Please!"

   Hudson said blankly.

  Everyone is here, we have to meet again. This is the Principality of Moxi, and he seems to have nothing to worry about now.

  Even if someone wants to be gilded, they are going to the front line. Even the orcs are rarely seen here, and there is no military exploits at all.

   After exchanging a few words without nutrition, Hudson's attitude quickly cooled down. In his memory, Earl Lauren was not among the top nobles in the kingdom.

   If he is not an aristocrat with real power, then this earl is most likely to be an earl of the court, and it is not worth much at all.

  Although the Earl of Hudson is also a false title, it is also obtained because of his military exploits, and the weight of the two is not at the same level.

   Seeing this scene, Lauren quickly realized that it was a sign of impatience. Realizing this, he immediately entered the topic and said: "Dear Earl of Hudson, this is an edict from His Majesty the King.

  Five days ago, a wandering Beamon cavalry drove a large number of refugees into the southern part of the kingdom, causing great damage to the southern provinces.

  Now the main force of the kingdom's army is in the northern border, the country is so empty, and the troops left behind are not enough to stabilize the place.

  The king hopes that you can lead the expeditionary force back to quell the disaster of refugees and stabilize the southern part of the kingdom. "

  Opening up the edict, it was no different from what Earl Lauren dictated. It can be summed up as follows: the refugee wave broke out, and the private army of the local nobles was fighting the orcs on the front line.

   "Please tell your majesty the king that I will lead the expeditionary army back to the country immediately after the affairs in hand are arranged."

   Hudson said helplessly.

  The plan to lead the coalition forces to the Orc Empire to make military exploits went bankrupt, and now they can only deal with the wandering Beamon cavalry.

  He didn't believe in the huge Alpha Kingdom, which didn't even have the strength to suppress thousands of Beamon cavalry. It was probably because he was too dazzling on the battlefield, and the higher-ups felt that they needed to suppress them.

  Similar things have been initiated countless times in history. When it comes to dividing up the cake at the end, trying to suppress competitors is just a routine operation.

  Hudson has no one in the court. At this critical moment, it is not surprising that such a change occurred.

   This is a side effect of the "famous general halo". No one knows what kind of amazing results Hudson will lead the coalition in the expedition to the Orc Empire.

   Fighting against the orcs, it is a good thing that someone has outstanding military exploits; but when it comes to dividing the cake after the war, that is another story.

  The greater the credit, the more cake share you will have the chance to get in the end. There can be a preference for care, but the overall distribution principle cannot be changed.

  For competitors, the best way to deal with a hero like Hudson is to hide in advance and not give him the opportunity to continue to make contributions.

   Originally, Hudson served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the two countries, and everyone still didn't know how to start. The sudden outbreak of the refugee crisis just provided an excuse for the public.

   This is an overt conspiracy that Hudson cannot refuse. What's more, the wave of refugees is like locusts, sweeping across all directions, and will soon spread to the southeastern provinces.

  Hudson doesn't care about losses in other places. The foundation of his own old nest, but he couldn't ignore it.

  If he really asked others to do this job, he would still be worried. If someone deliberately tricked him and put the Beamon cavalry into Wright County, with Hudson's hatred for the orcs, the mountainous territory might become a blank land.

  Starting a business is not easy, and Hudson can't bear to part with the wealth he has accumulated so hard. If the foundation land is really destroyed, it will not be a little bit more difficult to start all over again.

  At that point, there is no need for him to return to the southeast province, and his competitors will not give him a chance to rise again. It is a better choice to go directly to northern Xinjiang for development.

  With comfort in the south, Hudson will never move. Humans have shouted the slogan of destroying the orc empire for countless years.

  Before each start, everyone swears: This time is different, and the orc empire will definitely be destroyed.

  However, the end result is the same.

   After a lot of tossing, after being unable to bear the huge military expenditure and material transportation, he finally had to die without a problem.

  The rapid progress of this war is mainly due to the temptation of the "Secret of Longevity". Once it is proved that this thing is unreliable, the enthusiasm of all parties to attack the orc empire will definitely suffer a serious setback.

   If the orc empire is not destroyed, the northern border will always belong to the rotten land. It is easy to establish a foundation there, but it is difficult to keep it.

  Even if it is an orc empire that has been seriously injured, it is not something that a small lord can handle. Scattered orc attacks could make him unable to do anything.

  Earl Lauren was sent away, and Hudson immediately ordered: "Tom, arrange carriages and horses. I am going to visit Prince George and inform the senior generals of the expeditionary force to come to discuss matters at night."

   I'm about to leave, and many things have to be handed over. Now that the situation has reversed, Chris IX, who insisted on living, has come to see the Lord of Dawn.

  With the physical state of Chris IX, he relied on a will to persevere. As long as the breath in his chest is released, his life will come to an end.

   It will take a few months at most for the body to be exhausted. When the king met the Lord of Dawn, the Principality of Moxi would naturally enter the Georgian era.

  In terms of personal ability, George may only be regarded as a middle-of-the-road talent; but when it comes to being a king, Hudson thinks he is a good choice.

  The Principality of Moxi, whose vitality was severely injured in the war, needs to recuperate most now. In this context, it is enough for the king not to mess around.

  The population has been greatly reduced, and many social conflicts have been resolved by the war, followed by a wave of rapid economic recovery.

  The king doesn't have to do anything, he can lie down and win to become the "king of the prosperous age". It just so happens that George is not a master of great talent, and he has caught up with the dividends of this wave of economic recovery, and he is a big winner in life.

  Reincarnation is a technical job, and people won at the beginning of life, which is not enviable.

   I'm leaving anyway, and Hudson doesn't mind giving the future king a favor. But favors can't be given away for nothing, at least let people know that he has contributed.

  Although there is no help from Hudson, these powers will fall into the hands of George sooner or later. But getting military power one day earlier and getting military power one day later are completely different concepts.
