On the training ground, five hundred soldiers who were temporarily recruited were running circles around the camp. There were ten teenagers holding whips next to them, acting as instructors.

If you run too fast, you will get a whip, if you run too slowly, you will get a whip, if the queue is not neat, you will get a whip, and everyone will lose their temper completely.

It can be seen that the enslavement education in the territory is still very successful, and the thorns in the imagination have not appeared.

After secretly despising the backward enslaving education, Hudson could enjoy the results with peace of mind.

With such a short time, it was obviously too late to conduct military training. All he could do now was teach them to obey.

Even if you are preparing to paddle, you still need to look the way you should. Actual combat effectiveness is not important, the key is to look combative.

Even though he made Earl Pierce worthless in front of his father, when he really needed to face it, Hudson still didn't dare to take it lightly.

In any case, it would be effortless for a big shot like him to kill a little kid like him.

…

"Hudson, we are leaving the day after tomorrow. Is it too late to train now?"

Baron Redman said worriedly.

Although he felt that his son had the talent to train soldiers, the time was still too short. In order to ensure that I get on the road on time, I don’t even dare to practice too hard.

In terms of training intensity, it is not even comparable to military training at the Military Academy. It wasn't that Hudson was merciful, it was mainly that the soldiers' physical fitness couldn't keep up.

In this era of backward productivity, the lord's conscience was that he could eat half full with black bread with added ingredients.

It’s so hard to fill your stomach, let alone what’s nutritious.

The nutrition cannot keep up, and they have to bear heavy workload. Over the years, my body will naturally not get any better.

This is why every time the Baron Mansion recruits people, everyone flocks to it. No matter what the job is, as long as you follow the master, you can at least fill your stomach.

For example, right now, no one wants to back down even though the struggle is so intense.

Going to the battlefield is dangerous, but high risks bring high rewards. Reaching the sky in one step has nothing to do with them, but as long as they have achieved military exploits, they still have a chance to join the guard.

Most of the guards in the Baron's Mansion were created in this way.

Taking this step not only solved the stomach problem, but also gained the qualification to practice Dou Qi.

Once you become a warrior, your treatment is different. Not only food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, but you can also receive a salary.

"Don't worry, father. We don't expect to train an elite army in a short time, as long as it looks capable of fighting.

The recruitment was so intensive that even excluding the areas affected by the rebels, the Southeast Province could mobilize tens of thousands of troops.

With so many troops belonging to different families, it is not that simple to command them freely. When the time comes, they will probably be mixed up. Once a fight breaks out, who can tell the difference? "

Hudson said calmly.

There was undisguised contempt for Earl Pierce's mobilization order.

Taking my own family as an example, the castle guards could defeat the five hundred soldiers in front of them with a single charge.

Recruiting a large number of troops at once, apart from sounding impressive, is actually asking for trouble.

Once the fight actually starts, you will find that whether it is logistics, command, or combat effectiveness, it is terrible.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to recruit a small number of elite nobles. Not only is the command convenient and the logistics are guaranteed, but the combat effectiveness is also stronger.

Hudson doesn't think that he can do anything he wants to do. I am afraid that nobles who are slightly aware of something wrong will choose to hide their strength.

"Um!"

"If that's the case, that's the best. But you have no combat experience after all, so you still have to be careful on the battlefield and don't show off.

This is a letter I wrote to some old friends. If I meet you on the battlefield, please give it to them. For my sake, they should keep an eye on you.

However, this cannot be relied upon. If there is any danger or big interests are involved, none of these people can be relied upon.

If the war situation is unfavorable, your top priority is to save your life without damaging your family's reputation. Remember: Only when people are alive can they have hope. "

Baron Redman said earnestly.

But when it fell into Hudson's ears, it was particularly unpleasant. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Hudson always felt that his father was hinting to him that he could be a deserter in a life-or-death situation.

You must know that being a deserter is completely inconsistent with the spirit of chivalry. Nobles can be taken as prisoners, but once they become deserters on the battlefield, they will no longer be able to mix in the circle.

For the sake of family reputation, many nobles would rather die in battle or be captured than become deserters.

Of course, it's not completely impossible to operate. As long as a little-known character like Hudson is clever, no one will notice even if he becomes a deserter.

The worst he could do was to travel far away. With the speed of news transmission these days, the probability of being discovered was not high.

"Father, did you agree to let me lead the troops on an expedition?"

Hudson asked in surprise.

Originally, he was prepared to be rejected. After all, it was a bit unreliable to let a sixteen-year-old boy lead an army on an expedition. No matter how good the reasons are, they cannot change the flaws of age and experience.

Unexpectedly, there would be a sudden turn of events. Whatever the reason, Hudson was pleasantly surprised.

Life is the most important thing on the battlefield, and there is no need to remind you of this. As a traveler, Hudson would not dare to wander if the golden finger was not strong enough.

Chivalry, noble glory, family reputation, these traditional noble burdens, none of them exist here.

From the beginning, Hudson had made plans, which can be summarized as - "not seeking merit, but seeking no faults."

"Don't be too happy. Countering the rebellion this time is not that simple. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain military exploits, your father can support you, but if you lose your life, you can't blame others."

Baron Redman said sternly.

It can be seen that he really has high hopes for Hudson. Everything is determined by the social environment. In the continent of Aslant, if a small noble wants to go further, there are only two ways: either you are particularly good at fighting; or you can command an army and are particularly good at fighting.

Compared with the former path, the latter obviously has a higher upper limit. After all, this is a low-demon world. No matter how powerful an individual is, he cannot fight against a country.

As strong as the Holy Land, you must run faster in front of thousands of troops. The mythical story of an enemy country only exists in myth after all.

Compared with becoming a strong person, which is elusive, there are countless successful examples on the latter path. Although the great nobles in the court hold high positions, there are also shadows of small and medium-sized nobles.

After several generations of business, it is not a new thing for small nobles to counterattack and become big nobles.

To be precise, it can't be considered a counterattack. The aristocratic group has been married for generations, and the internal relationships are complicated. If we really talk about blood, there is a high probability that they can be connected together.
