The King

  Chapter 251 The Confrontation of the Southwest Nobles

  Just finished a military meeting and decided on the next battle plan against the Warhammer Kingdom, Alex suddenly felt out of his mind.

  Intuition told him that something big was about to happen. As if thinking of something, Alex's expression suddenly changed.

   "Guard, let the double go out to inspect the camp!"

   Still feeling unsafe, Alex decisively left his camp.

  Even his favorite magic armor was reserved for the substitute, and he put on an ordinary leather armor.

   If you are not a close person, you will definitely mistake him for a Beamon soldier when you see his new outfit.

   After doing all of this, Alex stood guard and patrolled the camp as a soldier.

   Not long after, a giant golden eagle carrying an old man suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the camp.

  The military officers who were familiar with the identity of the old man hurried forward and said, "High Priest, why are you here?"

  Glancing at the crowd, the old man said seriously: "Your Majesty was unconscious in an accident, and the imperial court cannot be left alone for a day. I come here and ask Your Highness to go back and preside over the overall situation.

  Where is Your Highness, take me there quickly! "

   While speaking, the old man still looked a little unnatural. As a powerful high priest, he hadn't lied like this for many years.

   It's just that there is no way, the order of Emperor Beamon must be completed, and Crown Prince Alex is not a worry-free master.

  The imperial court issued more than a dozen edicts in a row, but he ignored them. If there was no reasonable excuse, the old priest suspected that he might not even see anyone.

  Alex has been in the army for more than a year. As long as his brain is not too stupid, he can gain a group of supporters by virtue of his status as the crown prince.

  Don't say that he, the high priest, doesn't have enough face. Even if Emperor Bimeng came here in person, accidents might happen.

   Tradition is the cause of trouble, such things as usurping the throne are too common in the orc empire.

  Including Emperor Bimeng himself, he rose to power by a coup. The power of an example is in front of him. It is not surprising that a son follows the example.

   "His Royal Highness is patrolling the camp, you might as well take a break."

   Glancing at the talkative officer, the old priest scolded angrily: "How can I rest at such a time. Take me to see His Highness immediately!"

   As soon as the words fell, the stand-in for the battalion tour had already appeared in the sight of all the Bimons. Without the slightest hesitation, the old priest swooped up to the substitute: "His Royal Highness, your majesty has an accident, and the imperial court needs you to preside over the overall situation.

  The matter is urgent, and we will discuss it in detail after passing through us on the road. "

   While speaking, the old man had already forcibly pulled the stand-in onto the giant golden sculpture.

  Before leaving, I did not forget to leave a sentence to everyone: "His Royal Highness and I will go first, you guys are optimistic about the army. End the battle as soon as possible and return to the imperial court!"

  In the blink of an eye, two bimons and one giant eagle disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a group of officers staring at each other.

   Crown Prince Alex, who witnessed this scene from the sidelines, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was fooling around, but he didn't know how to report to Emperor Bimon when the old priest found something wrong later.

  But this is not certain. This substitute is not an ordinary Beamon, but also a descendant of Emperor Beamon, with the blood of the royal family. Now he can fool the high priest, and maybe he can fool it later.

  Deep in his heart, Alex had already begun to fantasize about the anger and helplessness when Emperor Beamon finished performing the secret technique happily and suddenly found out that the substitute was a counterfeit.

  …

  Perhaps everyone is eager to return home, the expeditionary force is advancing slightly faster than Hudson expected, returning home one day earlier than planned.

  As soon as he stepped into the country, he was warmly received by the local nobles. The expeditionary force did a great job of not letting the flames of war spread.

   Of course, this is not the main reason for accepting thanks. More importantly, the murderous expeditionary force was too scary, which made the local nobles feel uneasy.

  In order to prevent their own territory from suffering military disasters, they chose to take the initiative to attack, hoping that the coach Hudson would restrain military discipline.

   This is an embarrassing thing, and it is a sequela left when the expeditionary force passed through this place.

  The discipline of the First Legion led by Hudson is fine.

   It cannot be said that Qiu did nothing wrong, at least the soldiers did not deliberately disturb the people, and they were well received along the way.

  The next few legions are hard to describe.

  Despite the restrictions imposed by the noble officers, the mob is a mob after all, and there are many thieves.

   It is said that there was a conflict with the nobles along the way, and now this is most likely to avoid another military disaster.

  Looking at the old-fashioned nobleman who came to greet him, Hudson didn't dare to speak too loudly, lest he accidentally send him away.

   Those who can carry the knife are all on the front line, and the rest of the nobles who stay behind are the old and the young.

   The old immortals with a little bit of strength have now gone to the Orc Empire to fight for the last wave of the secret law of longevity.

   Of course, Hudson is more willing to believe that they were responsible for making troubles in the past.

  Finally, a group of human masters came. If they don't use their power to attack the orc empire, everyone will be in vain.

  As a coward, leading the way is the basic operation. Wherever there is a tribe of orcs, just pass by, and there is nothing wrong with it.

  If you don’t turn the orc empire upside down, you will be sorry for the ancestors who died at the hands of the orcs.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the Koslow family background is too shallow and there are no established strongmen, otherwise they will follow the past to join in the fun.

   "Everyone can rest assured that as long as the logistics supplies along the way keep up, the soldiers of the expeditionary force will never enter the villages and towns along the way without authorization!"

   Hudson promised with a smile.

  The quality of the soldiers is not flattering, but in terms of military discipline, no one dared to leave the camp without an order for the expeditionary force.

  Things that can be done in the Principality of Moxi, there is no reason why they cannot be done after returning to China. Under the military law of the continuous sitting system, if you want to go out, you have to see whether the soldiers in the same team agree.

   "Thank you Earl for your understanding, the people in the countryside are really ignorant and easily panic when things happen.

  The main reason is that we are old, not only can't go to the battlefield, but we can't even handle such trivial things well. "

  Hearing the old man's self-deprecating words, Hudson raised his glass and shook slightly, and said: "You are welcome, old Marquis, you are the treasure of the kingdom.

   Back then, when you led your troops to fight the orcs, we juniors were not born yet!

   Now it's our turn to defend the Alpha Kingdom, and we must ask you for some advice. "

   He said it politely, but deep down in his heart Hudson scolded him long ago. If he knew that the old guy hadn't gone to the front, he would never have come to this banquet.

   Hundreds of people were about to see the Lord of Dawn, and the secret of longevity was close at hand, but they were able to resist the temptation. Hudson didn't know what to say.

  But it is precisely because of this "dog" that the old man in front of him, whose strength is no more than the Silver Knight, can live to this age.

  The guy whose strength is not very good, but also good at "Gou Dao", who can hide when things happen, naturally doesn't have many meritorious deeds that can be shown.

   Even Hudson wanted to boast a few words, but he didn't know that he couldn't find a topic to intervene in, so he could only have an awkward chat.

  But to be able to hang out in the cannibal circle of aristocrats, relying on "gou" alone is definitely not enough. The old man in front of him is not good at leading troops to fight, but he is good at running the family.

  Before he took over the family, the Alam family was about to fall from the circle of great aristocrats. With his efforts, it gradually developed into the No. 1 family in the Southwest.

   In terms of comprehensive strength, it is still above the Dalton family. Hudson will also have a headache when encountering such a local snake.

  The rise of new forces will inevitably face the suppression of established forces. This is an eternal truth.

  Although he didn't say it directly, the sudden arrival of the old guy in front of him was obviously a warning.

  Representing the local forces in the southwestern provinces told him: new players are not welcome here, don't try to take advantage of the opportunity to quell the refugee tide, and fantasize about setting up a foundation here.

   Obviously, a new round of reshuffle in the kingdom has begun, and the domestic struggle is a bit more intense than Hudson expected.

   Originally, he wasn't going to go to the Southwest to develop, so Hudson naturally wouldn't fight this group of people just because of this unpleasantness.

   In fact, as long as there is no conflict of interest, these old guys are relatively easy to get along with.

   Profit-seeking corresponds to weighing the pros and cons. When encountering problems, analyzing them from the perspective of interests can solve most of them.

   On the contrary, the younger generation is more troublesome. In addition to benefits, there is also jealousy from peers.

  "Other people's children" have always been a source of hatred.

  Unfortunately, at Hudson's age, he is what everyone calls "other people's children".

   Not only to be envied by peers, but even the generation of parents is also unavoidable. This is the price of being too good.

   "Your Excellency, you are welcome, as the youngest marshal on the mainland, you are the leader of the young people in the kingdom.

   If nothing else happens, after the new round of re-election of the Kingdom Senate, there will be a place for you. "

  Marquis Zuel said cheerfully.

  Typically hit a stick and give a sweet date.

  The meaning is very clear, if you don’t come to grab the cake, then everyone will be friends.

  Take out the position of the Senate to lure them, mainly because they are afraid that Hudson will hold grudges and let them puddle them in the next process of calming down the refugee wave.

   In fact, that's what Hudson was going to do. Although it is not enough to intentionally drive people to their territory, it is still okay to be so slow when acting.

  In the past year, life in the southwestern provinces has not been easy. Everyone is tightening their belts to repair the line of defense, almost men, women, old and young are all in battle.

   If there is another wave of disasters caused by refugees, Rao Alam's family has a strong family background, and they will not be able to recover in a few years.

  At this critical moment of political reshuffle, it hurts the vitality of the family, but it is very fatal.

   "Hudson, thank you Marquis for your kindness, I leave the nominations to you!"

   While speaking, Hudson raised his wine glass to signal to everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

   This is a naked transaction, at the cost of quelling the refugee flow as soon as possible, in exchange for the nobles in the southwestern province to push him politically in the kingdom.

   This is the sequelae of no one in the court. They don't want to work it out, and they can't even get a nomination at the critical moment.

  The Senate seems to have no real power. That's because Caesar III is strong enough to slowly overthrow this institution with a series of show operations.

  As an institution composed entirely of great nobles, it is inherently doomed that the political status of the Senate in the kingdom cannot be low.

  In case of an accident to the king, the Senate is the auxiliary government institution.

   This thing is not usually used, but it is very important at critical moments, and it is an indispensable decoration.
