The King

  Chapter 54 Political Correctness

   Successfully completed the reunion, and the Fifth Army breathed a sigh of relief. In the past seven days, there have been too many twists and turns.

   As the most eye-catching cub, Hudson has earned enough attention as soon as he entered the coalition camp. However, everyone's eyes are mainly focused on the cub, and they are more envious and jealous of him, the lucky one.

  It was a normal reaction, and it did not rise to the level of "hate", which made Hudson very relieved. Facts have proved that I don't have the physique to pull hatred.

   There is more than one joyful thing. The allies who followed Earl Pierce to heal their wounds last night have all returned now.

   Hudson had to sigh: The senior priest is indeed amazing! Those who lack arms and short legs can be picked up, and they can be discharged from the hospital in one step, which is almost amazing.

   I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hudson vaguely noticed that the vitality of these people had dropped a lot. However, in exchange for healthy limbs, it is worthwhile to lose a few years of life.

   Secretly, Hudson also made a decision not to go to the priest for treatment as a last resort, and it is best not to even suffer injuries. The priest's healing effect is really powerful, but it can't stand the life of this thing!

   It is no wonder that the lifespan of a knight is severely polarized. A serious injury can lose a few years of lifespan. Naturally, the lifespan of those who often go to the battlefield is not long.

  Everything is kept simple on the battlefield, and the reception banquet naturally does not exist, and it is replaced by a military meeting. It can be seen that the nobles of the kingdom are still very pragmatic, and they don't engage in fancy things.

  As a mid-level military officer, Hudson was fortunate to participate in the military meeting, but the seat number changed, and he directly entered the top ten.

  Everything comes from strength, and the world of nobles is so realistic. As the regiment leader with the strongest record and the most outstanding military exploits since the beginning of the war, Hudson is eligible to enjoy this treatment.

  In theory, this is true, but Hudson's intuition tells Hudson that such a seating arrangement must have political purposes. Not only did his ranking go from the bottom to the top ten, but the ranks of the officers of the Fifth Army who participated in the meeting were all greatly improved.

  As the unit with the lowest combat effectiveness among the five armies, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly gain such a status just because of its outstanding record.

  If it is really counted, the performance of the Fifth Army is barely passable, and it cannot be called excellent at all.

  Facing the surprised gazes of the crowd, except for a few who were deep in the city and remained calm, most of the nobles of the Fifth Army were on pins and needles.

  Hudson still greeted acquaintances calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and there was nothing abnormal on his face.

  The seating position was determined by Earl Pierce himself. The intention to elevate the Fifth Army is so obvious that anyone can see it at a glance. It’s not a joke to play like this. There must be some intention behind it.

   The waiting time is long. It is obviously just a cup of tea, but to many people it is like three autumns.

   "This is Earl Frodo. He came to investigate the Blood Moon Horn by the king's order. I hope you can cooperate fully. Now, Earl Frodo, please speak for everyone."

  Earl Pierce introduced to everyone with a smile.

   "Pierce, we are all old friends, why are you so polite. If you want to check the Blood Moon Horn, you have to wait until you take down Dadil City.

  Although I have the king's command, I am not good at military affairs. This is your barracks, you should continue to preside over the military meeting, I'll just sit in on it. "

  The simple conversation exposed the identities of the two. The same is the count of the kingdom, but the status is very different. Even as the special envoy of the king, it cannot bridge the status gap between the earl of the court and the earl of the fiefdom.

  Earl Frodo is obviously a smart man, he didn't take advantage of the status of the king's special envoy, but wisely chose to retreat behind the scenes and handed over the initiative to Governor Pierce.

   The fact that the two big bosses do not fight for power is undoubtedly a good thing for the officers attending the meeting.

"Ha ha…"

  After laughing, Pierce said proudly: "In this case, I will not be polite."

   It can be seen that he has no intention of giving up the initiative from the beginning to the end. The politeness just now was purely to save face for the king.

   But face can be given, but military command power must not be given up. This is a matter of principle.

   "The top executives of the Skull and Bones Society are all in the city. According to the information collected, they are preparing for a big sacrifice and want to summon the evil **** to descend.

   But their plan was destroyed by the Fifth Army yesterday. The convoy carrying the sacrificial offerings of the rebels encountered the Fifth Army and was wiped out more than ten miles away.

   Some sacrifices are missing, this sacrifice will definitely be greatly reduced. It's just that we still can't take it lightly, and it's best to capture Dadir City before the enemy's sacrifice is completed.

  After all, in addition to the rebels, the enemies on the surface, we must also be vigilant against the enemies hidden in the dark.

  Everyone knows that there is a mysterious organization that has always been against the Kingdom, trying to subvert our rule over the Kingdom.

  Facing such an evil enemy, we cannot relax at all. The fifth army did a good job yesterday, directly beheading all the enemies who took the lead.

   Earl Frodo and I will truthfully report the achievements of the Fifth Army to the Kingdom. I hope you all learn from the resoluteness of the Fifth Army, don’t show any mercy when encountering such an enemy, you must take all of them as soon as possible..."

  After listening to Earl Pierce's explanation, the doubts in everyone's minds were instantly resolved. It's not how strong the fifth army's record is, it's purely the fifth army's performance in killing the "Holy See cavalry", which makes the bosses very satisfied.

   Everyone has been killed. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the nobles of the Fifth Army have stood on the opposite side of the Holy See. In the Alpha Kingdom, where kingship and theocracy compete, this is political correctness.

   It is conceivable that for the purpose of setting an example, the nobles of the Fifth Army will definitely receive preferential treatment.

   Not being held accountable for private robbery is only secondary, and it will definitely get a bonus in the battle victory, and the distribution of territories will be taken care of.

   Even for a long time in the future, there is no need to worry about being deliberately targeted by colleagues. Because no one wants to be suspected of "colluding with the Holy See".

   Facing the friendly smiling faces of their colleagues, the expressions of the nobles of the Fifth Army are also very exciting, surprise, apprehension, fear... There are various expressions.

   Relatively speaking, Hudson is much calmer. As expected, from the moment he identified the enemy, he knew that he was involved in a storm vortex.

   Fortunately, in the game between kingship and theocracy, the Alpha Kingdom did not fall into a disadvantage. Although the Holy See is powerful, it is still thousands of miles away, and it doesn't take time to take revenge on these little people like them for a while.

  Instead of worrying about the revenge of the Holy See, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity. After all, the continent of Aslante is a place where strength speaks. As long as the fist is big enough, naturally it is not afraid of the revenge of the Holy See.

   What's more, compared to his hard-working colleagues, he also harvested a cub of the Earth Bear. As long as this guy is raised to adulthood, it is equivalent to having one more elite regiment.

   There were no accidents. In the next military deployment, the decimated Fifth Army was reduced to a reserve force.

  No one raised any objections, even the most combative Jim Knight in the Fifth Army, did not jump out to ask for a fight.

  With more politically correct bonuses, for the Fifth Army, the combat exploits are enough. If you rob others again, you will be drawing hatred.

  Of course, the most important thing is that everyone's private army has suffered heavy losses, and they have no strength to compete with other nobles.
