The King

  Chapter 274 Complicated thoughts

  The army moved forward all the way, and picked up a lot of broken soldiers along the way. The growth of the team is just around the corner, but Hudson has a depressed face.

   After making preparations, he waited for the enemy to come and attack, and it turned out that he waited... It doesn't matter if he didn't mention it, so many crossbow arrows he had prepared were in vain.

  In order to ask for these equipments, Hudson tried his best to report to the capital every now and then, stating the pros and cons of it.

  To sum it up, it is possible to compile a book "On the Significance of Miniature Magic Crossbows in Cavalry Combat".

   Concentrated the power of the kingdom and brought in thousands of miniature magic crossbows. I wanted to teach the enemy a lesson, but unfortunately the other party didn't give it a chance.

  The Beamon cavalry who had suffered a loss once did not dare to go up, and the commanders of the lion tribe and the silver moon wolf tribe were not fools either. Knowing that the enemy is difficult to deal with, naturally he will not run to play a decisive battle when he has insufficient troops.

   So much so that in the past two days, it was the Yingren Air Force who came to add chaos to the army. The other three royal families are busy chasing and killing the Northern Expeditionary Army, as well as gathering the scattered teams.

   Even if Hudson took the initiative to come to the door, he could avoid it just right. If you want to play a sneak attack, first get rid of the Eagle Air Force hanging above your head!

   Without air supremacy, it is difficult to do anything. In this wave, he understood why the Northern Expeditionary Army was so passive because they had most of the main force in the Alpha Kingdom.

   Sincerity is not a matter of working hard or not. Every move of the army is under the nose of the enemy. They want to do something, but they are discovered before they have time to implement it.

  When all strategies and tactics fail to work, the two sides are competing for hard power. Under such circumstances, Marshal Campbell is quite powerful in dividing the orc army and creating opportunities for the army to break through.

  It's a pity that the old marshal died suddenly, otherwise Hudson would definitely visit and communicate.

   Vaguely, Hudson also noticed a trace of conspiracy. Under normal circumstances, the commander of the army is surrounded by expert guards, and the probability of being able to break out is very high.

  Even if you expose your identity on the battlefield, it only takes a while to break out of the encirclement by force, and leave immediately after killing the blood, and will not stay in place at all.

   The probability of meeting an orc master and being blocked is almost zero.

   "Sold by your own people?"

   As soon as the idea was born, Hudson couldn't get it out. The integrity of the nobles is very polarized, sometimes it is quite high, and sometimes it is frighteningly low.

  It is entirely possible to betray the whereabouts of Marshal Campbell in order to weaken the royal family.

   Besides them, there are also some mysterious organizations that have also become black hands. For example: the July meeting that Hudson contacted.

   In the last major assassination case, the officially announced murderers were the orcs and the July Society. It's not purely throwing the pot away, both of them did participate.

   If you can collude once, you can collude a second time.

  The July Society itself is a northern aristocrat who failed in the struggle, no matter how they fall, they still have some connections. It is not surprising to be able to obtain a position in the army.

   "Count, the captain of Kettler's Legion is asking to see you."

   What the guard said made Hudson slightly taken aback. Almost forgot, he still has members of the July Club under his command.

  Although "Kately" is a passive member of the July Society, he is also a member of the July Society. Now that I'm in the Northland, I will have something to do in July, and maybe I will contact him.

   "Bring him in!"

   Hudson said pretending to be calm.

  The sad look between his brows still reveals that he is not in a good mood at the moment. Intuition told him that the matter was far from over.

  …

   "Count, I just received a secret letter. That guy Long Xi wants me to persuade you to take action against the five Dukes of the Northland to avenge their blood revenge.

  They wrote in the letter that the five dukes of the North had colluded with the orcs, and that the orcs had instructed the five dukes to do it this time by agitating the army to break through. "

   While speaking, Kettley handed the letter to Hudson. The trembling of his hands proved that his heart was very hesitant.

  The establishment of the July Society is to avenge the five families in the Northland. From the perspective of composition, Hudson and them should be regarded as the same people.

   Looking through the family tree, maybe a dozen generations ago, everyone was still relatives.

  The only difference is that they chose to lurk in the Northland looking for opportunities for revenge, and the Koslow family chose to go south, or in other words, all the direct descendants in the Northland died, and only the southern branch survived.

  Glancing at the contents of the letter, Hudson's expression didn't change at all. It has never been a secret that the five giants in the North have connections with orcs.

  The smuggling trade has been going on for so many years, if there is no contact between the two parties, then there is a real problem.

  Selling your teammates in exchange for your own way of life is nothing. Don't talk about principles, when it comes to life and death, few people can remain calm.

  Compared with the operations of the Liaodong Jiangmen Group in history, they still have a bottom line. It's just to encourage the army to break through, not to stab one's own people as a traitor.

   "There is not enough evidence!"

   Hudson couldn't help complaining.

  Nobility has never lacked a dark history. Almost all the great nobles have a lot of bad things under their buttocks. As long as you don't lift the lid, it doesn't exist.

  If you want to use these stains to attack the enemy, the biggest problem is-"evidence".

  If you have sufficient evidence in your hand, choose a suitable time to show it, even if it is stronger than the five giants of the Northland, they will not be able to eat it, and they will walk around.

  Unfortunately, the information in the hands of the July Society alone can only prove that there was a connection between the five major families in the Northland and the orcs.

  This kind of crime, for ordinary people, is like ransacking their homes. Put it on these great nobles, at most it will be criticized a little bit.

   It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that they choose to take the risk to find Hudson to cooperate, and take advantage of this opportunity to lay hands on the children of the five major families.

  The fireball flashed, and the letter was instantly reduced to ashes.

  “For this matter, just pretend nothing happened. If they contact you again, tell them: The risk is too great, and I am not interested in participating.

   If you are entangled, you can reason: You have not gained my trust, and your words do not have enough weight. "

   Hudson said indifferently.

  July Club wants to seek revenge from the five major families in the Northland, and he is also happy to see it succeed, but it is still unnecessary to take the initiative to participate.

  The Lochnard family alone is enough for him to have a headache, if a few more enemies are added, it will be even more difficult to mix.

  High position and weight, many soldiers and generals are all illusions. In essence, the foundation of Hudson is still very weak, and it will collapse if you are not careful.

  The army under his command was improvised, and he obeyed the command because he was the highest military commander appointed by the kingdom, and he was not loyal at all.

  …

  Long way to escape, the Northern Expeditionary Army has long been disintegrated. Many people are running around in all directions, and those who can live to this day are considered lucky.

  In the eyes of orcs, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners, as long as the human race is the target of their slaughter. At most, when chasing the northern nobles, they deliberately put some water.

   Chased and fled all the way to the present, the coalition of nobles from the southeast provinces gathered together, but there is no one in ten.

  The southeast province sent strong soldiers, and a county randomly selected is all elite, it is pure nonsense.

  It was only after fighting the orcs that everyone realized the difference in strength between the two sides. Not to mention the comparison with the elite orcs, even compared with the ordinary army of the Northland, there is still a big gap between them.

  Wright County's army can fight, because the "Knight of the Bow" has a strong military command ability, so change the commander and do whatever you want.

  Although no one dared to say it, deep down, everyone criticized Earl Pierce.

  Knowing that Hudson can play, and throwing him to the Principality of Moxi, isn't he deliberately cheating his teammates?

   The unlucky Sis was the one who drew lots, so if he wants to go, he should let him go. If it wasn't for Earl Pierce's selfish intentions to release the water on purpose, Sith, who was the sheriff, would not be able to leave.

  In the eyes of many nobles, if the "Knight of the Bow" was left in the coalition of nobles in the southeastern province, it would be a different scene now.

   Head-to-head with orcs, everyone may have limited ability. But when it comes to the ability to hug their thighs, none of them is worse than the other.

  When I think of the barons and knights who accompanied me to the expedition, and now have mixed army commanders, I feel endless annoyance.

   There is no way, it is all caused by being too close. As old neighbors, everyone knows very well what the former Wrightshire Army, the now prestigious First Army Army Army Corps, is.

  Watching a group of guys who are not as good as him, one by one, get ahead, but they are still running for their lives, and there is endless resentment in their hearts.

  Earl Pierce was also very depressed about this change. I thought that a death mission was arranged, but I didn't expect that the damned didn't die. They thought they were safe, but they were forced to the cliff.

  Fleeing all the way to the present, the famous Crimson Knights under his command have been reduced by more than half. The private armies of other nobles suffered heavy losses, none of them existed.

   To be able to persevere until now is because there are no ordinary people who have followed the team to the present.

  The serf soldiers were either buried under the butcher's knives of the orcs, or fell behind on the way to escape and scattered on the vast prairie.

   "Count, good news! A large group of cavalry appeared fifty miles ahead, flying the flag of the Earl of Hudson, and the corresponding troops are coming!"

  The scout's words brightened the eyes of the fleeing crowd, but then their expressions dimmed again.

   Reinforcements did come, but not the reinforcements they wanted.

  Both come from the southeast province, and everyone originally had a love for each other, but the love is not as important as the benefits.

  If the Koslow family wants to rise, it will inevitably expand their territory abroad. However, all the land in the southeastern province now has owners.

   If Hudson wants to maximize his interests after the war, he has to send them to death. Transposition, they will do the same.

   It may be a bit unbearable to go directly to the black hand, but there will be no hesitation in the slightest.

   "Have you made contact with Earl Hudson?"

   Earl Pierce asked with a gloomy face.

   Reason told him that Hudson might be able to accommodate other small and medium-sized nobles, but he, the boss, was a thorn in the other side's side and a thorn in his flesh.

"No!"

  The soldier in charge of the investigation said in a trembling voice.

  No matter how slow the reaction was, he knew that he had said something wrong just now. But they couldn't figure out why the faces of the aristocrats were so gloomy and terrifying that the reinforcements were right in front of them.

  Hearing the news, Earl Pierce's expression softened slightly, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing else going on here, let's go down and rest first!"

  The atmosphere became tense again, everyone was waiting for Earl Pierce's decision.

   "After a short rest, we continued on our way. It is estimated that the orc cavalry behind us are almost resting.

   If there are no accidents, there is still a fierce battle to be fought.

  Don’t panic too much. The kingdom sent troops to support them. There will not only be one team, but we will meet them again soon.

   There aren’t too many pursuers, as long as a few thousand fresh troops join us, we don’t have to be afraid of them.

   Along the way, you can also see it. The enemy has been trying to avoid casualties as much as possible, and the orcs can't afford to lose! "

   Don’t be angry, your author has won the prize again. After the National Day, the fourth round of closures is coming... This place is poisonous, I will move when the rent is due, woo woo woo...
