The King

  Chapter 255 Growth

   It was too late to sort out the relationship with each family, a piece of news from the front rescued Hudson from his troubles.

  The mighty Grandpa Knights suffered heavy losses in the battle between the Beamon Royal Court and the "Beast God Guard", and were immediately besieged by the orc army.

   In the final battle, not only the masters of the Beamon Imperial Court came out, but even the masters of the other four imperial courts rushed over to participate in the battle.

  Facts have proved that it is difficult to kill an elephant even if there are many ants. After fighting one after another, this special army was still not able to leave behind, but time is not forgiving.

  The war only caused this army to suffer heavy losses; the years have brought this army to its end.

   Many old and strong men did not die at the hands of the enemy, but their bodies were exhausted due to the high-intensity battle, so they went to meet the Lord of Dawn in advance.

  The most important thing is that the belief that supported them has collapsed. Emperor Beamon, who was suspected of possessing the secret of longevity, met the beast **** amidst a roar.

  With the defeat of the orcs and the death of Emperor Beamon, the truth of the secret law of longevity also surfaced.

   "Mysterious altar, rune carvings in the underground palace, countless strong bones, five special hanging coffins, the corpse of the false crown prince..."

  The specific operation process is no longer important, and these things found in the underground palace alone are not enough for everyone.

  Even if someone is insane in order to prolong life, there must be enough sons sacrificed. Even if an individual has many lives, where can he find so many sacrifices for the strong?

  Using the power of the orc empire, it took more risks than Meng Huang to get together the last sacrifice.

   Now that the secret has been exposed, as long as there are large-scale disappearances of strong people in the future, people will immediately think of this.

  This kind of thing that challenges the bottom line of human morality, leaving any clues, will attract crowds to attack.

   There are so many restrictive conditions, and it only prolongs some lifespan, and it cannot achieve real longevity.

  Emperor Bimon died under the backlash. Who can prove that the secret method exposed must be effective?

  For a group of elderly people in their dying years, the final shattering of faith is the end of life.

   Even if people are still alive, don't expect them to continue to work hard. The team originally organized for the "Dream of Longevity" has now dispersed because of the "dream of longevity".

   Except for the strong ones of the Alpha Kingdom who chose to stay in the army and contribute their last strength to the kingdom; most of the strong human races who survived chose to leave this sad place.

   Without this group of masters playing the vanguard, the Kingdom's army would not have the strength to sweep the Quartet. After the Battle of the Royal Court ended, Marshal Campbell immediately chose to retreat.

  However, things are always unexpected. It was smooth sailing when I came, but it was not so easy to go back.

  The orcs who came out of nowhere kept launching various attacks, making the army restless for a moment.

  These minor troubles can only be regarded as small troubles. The bigger trouble is that the orc army on the front line of the Warhammer Kingdom is on the way back.

   Judging from the current withdrawal speed of the army, the probability of an encounter between the two sides on the way is not generally high.

  In this expedition that went directly to the Beamon Royal Court, the Alpha Kingdom has used its strength, and almost all the main forces in the kingdom are on the front line.

   In order to compete for the post-war cake, the major nobles also tried their best. Compared with the success or failure of the front line, the group of prisoners in Hudson's hands is nothing at all.

  Although the envoys did not evacuate, the frequency of harassment of Hudson was obviously greatly reduced.

   Before the situation on the front line is clear, competing for interests is a joke. Once one's own strength is severely damaged, no matter how much one eats, one will have to spit it out in the end.

   Unless you have achieved an earth-shattering record after paying a heavy loss, everyone needs to pay attention to eating to avoid prying eyes from the outside world.

  And this deadline is time-limited. When everyone forgets this contribution, everything will return to the essence of the jungle.

  …

   "Evola, you are in charge of escorting these 10,000 people back to the Mountain Territory. This is a letter I wrote to my father, and he will naturally know how to arrange it when the time comes.

  If someone intercepts you on the road, you don't have to give face. As long as you stand up for the truth and don't cause noble casualties, I will support you. "

   Hudson ordered to his second brother.

  Different from the eldest who inherited too much wisdom from his parents, so that Evola is a simple-minded product, and his limbs are not "developed" enough.

   It doesn't matter if you don't have enough mind and strength. As long as the execution is strong enough, it is also a talent.

  As Hudson's elder brother, his identity is the greatest value. Escorting refugees may seem simple, but it is also very complicated.

  If you encounter local snake Kayao on the way, ordinary nobles really can't be shocked. Especially when you meet a big nobleman, if your status is not equal, you will not be tough.

   One thing falls one thing, if you really encounter a shameless stumbling block, a reckless guy like Evora is the most suitable.

  Imply, do not understand; expressly, refuse directly.

   Ming grab is impossible!

  With the main force of the kingdom going out, the tens of thousands of expeditionary troops in Hudson's hands are already the strongest armed force in the country.

  He didn't rob other people because he was saving face. Anyone who dared to rob the expeditionary army must have lost his mind.

   At most, there are only a few thick-skinned ones, relying on their own status, trying to take advantage of the little nobles below.

  All the Patriarchs are on the front line, and Evola's status is exactly the same as that of those left behind. It's okay to spray and scold, even if it's a fight, it doesn't hurt.

  Of course, it’s better not to fight if you can. The main reason is that his second brother is not strong enough, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to win him in a duel.

   "Hudson, why don't I take a trip! Arrange for the second child to go there, in case there is a conflict with the Dalton family, he may not be able to handle it."

  Nelson said worriedly.

   "Nelson, what do you mean, are we afraid that the Dalton family will fail?"

   Evola asked angrily.

   There is also a reason for being hostile to the Dalton family. The expeditionary force was suddenly transferred back to China, and it was the Dalton family who took the lead.

   They were originally competitors, but they were plotted against by the other party once again. Naturally, the relationship between everyone will not be good.

  Although he came back to suppress the rebellion, he had an advantage when dividing up the refugees; but he led the coalition forces to the front, and Hudson could get more.

  Especially in the current situation, if the Royal Army suffers a big defeat, Hudson may even have the opportunity to take over the position of Marshal Campbell.

  The opportunity to become the top military boss just flew away. It is only a problem that members of the Koslow family do not hate the Dalton family.

  There is still a gap in strength between the two sides, but the current Koslow family and the second family in the province are still allies. The combined strength of the two is even better than the Dalton family.

  From this point of view, Dalton was also forced to drag Hudson back. Who made the military strength of the Koslow family expand too fast?

  Other families are getting weaker and weaker on the battlefield, but the Koslow family is getting stronger and stronger. How does this make competitors mess up?

  If Hudson is really allowed to become a military leader and make a little move during foreign wars, maybe the Dalton family will be cold.

  The highest level of killing with a knife is never to send a death mission on purpose, but to arrange a mission that seems safe but is destined to have accidents.

  Ordinary generals are not capable of such a far-reaching layout, but "famous generals" who grow up on the battlefield can.

  Hudson, who wears the "halo of a famous general", has made many nobles in the country feel uneasy.

   "Evora, that's not what I meant. The main reason is that we don't need to directly conflict with the Dalton family now, and no amount of grievances can be settled until after the war is over.

  In case they have an accident on the battlefield, some people will push the wall, we don't need to be this villain.

  The Koslow family is even more unsuitable to be this villain! "

  Nelson's words made Hudson smile. Being able to see this proves that his training was not in vain.

  Pressing Nelson along the way and not letting him go to the battlefield is not only a security consideration, but also an exercise of his political ability.

   Compared with outsiders, brothers are always more reliable. In any case, we must cultivate talents, and we must give priority to training those with a higher safety factor.

  The general social environment is like this. When knowledge is strictly sealed, all the big nobles are playing the game of the world.

  Hudson thinks that he can still suppress these brothers, enough to prevent them from having delusions.

   "Okay, that's it for this matter.

  Evola, as the person in charge of the first **** of refugees; Nelson, as the person in charge of the second **** of refugees.

   As for the Dalton family, don't take the initiative to provoke. If someone stretches out their hands randomly, don't be too polite.

   I don't want to turn against them yet, if possible. The kingdom's political reshuffle has just begun, and we cannot judge friends and foes based on our inherent concepts.

   Today we are competitors with the Dalton family, but who can guarantee that we will not become allies tomorrow? "

  Hudson's words directly confused the two of them. If his prestige was not too high, they might have jumped up to refute.

  Geopolitics, but their recent major. A large number of historical cases have proved that neighbors with conflicting interests will eventually become enemies.

   Seeing this scene, Hudson did not explain. Some things can only be understood by oneself, and cannot be understood by others.

  The southeastern province cannot accommodate two great nobles, but it does not mean that the two are always hostile and cannot reach a compromise within a period of time.

  The Koslow family now has military strength, but lacks a matching economic foundation, and needs a lot of time to consolidate the foundation.

  As long as the Dalton family also needs time, the two sides may reach a compromise in the short term.

  Essentially, everyone is wearing shoes now, and they have escaped from the life-and-death struggle at the bottom, and can't just bet on the top players.
