King

When it was time for the banquet, the aristocratic group returned to harmony, as if what happened during the day had not happened.

Naturally, it is not easy for the nobles to accept the reality so quickly.

Everyone maintains the rules not only to safeguard the royal power, but also to limit the royal power. The essence is to protect their own interests.

As usual, if the king behaves too extravagantly, everyone will come to persuade him and bring him back on the right track.

Now that there is harmony, there is only one explanation - the situation in northern Xinjiang is tense, and the kingdom needs to strengthen centralization.

There is precedent to follow. When every war breaks out, the power of the central government of the Kingdom of Alpha will be strengthened so that it can better fight against the invasion of the orcs.

The only exception was the last war.

Because the king was too weak, the central government did not have enough prestige, and failed to coordinate the joint operations of the major forces, which resulted in the Kingdom of Alpha losing its city and territory and suffering heavy losses.

learn from mistakes.

At this juncture, even if everyone does not want to see Caesar III continue to strengthen the royal power, in order to better resist the invasion of the orcs, the major forces can only hold their noses and admit it.

If nothing else happens, there will be various trials and games to determine each other's bottom line.

As a newly promoted member of the middle-level aristocracy, Hudson is not yet qualified to participate in high-level games, and all he can do is wait quietly.

The welcome banquet for the newly promoted nobles was of very high standard.

A large number of nobles from the royal capital gathered together, and Caesar III also came in person to give a passionate speech.

In the royal capital where there are so many talented people, the most eye-catching person is no longer young talents like Hudson, but Princess Madeleine.

The true proud daughter of heaven set off the banquet scene as soon as she appeared on the stage.

Hudson has seen many beauties, but none can compare with Princess Madeleine.

It's not a matter of appearance. Simply looking at appearance and figure, Princess Madeleine is not top-notch, but there is one thing that makes up for all these shortcomings.

The innate noble temperament can leave a deep impression on people even if it is just a glance from a distance.

"What are you looking at? You have a fiancée."

The familiar voice in his ears brought the intoxicated Hudson back.

After seeing the person clearly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought that I would be in bad luck if my fiancée caught her in the act, but I didn't expect that it was Isabel imitating Melissa's voice.

"Miss Isabel, you will scare people to death if you play like this!"

Hudson said angrily.

The singer takes an artistic route. Versatility is a basic quality. It is not surprising that she can imitate.

But he couldn't figure out which force was so full that it sent such a beauty to stare at him.

Hudson also had deep doubts about the kingdom's security system, and actually let a singer disguised as a man sneak into the place.

If it were an assassin, wouldn't Caesar III be in danger?

Of course, even if an ordinary killer sneaks in, nothing will happen. Most of the nobles present were in a hurry, so escorting them should not be a big problem.

"Viscount Hudson, what are you talking about? I am Lord Isabel, not some young lady!"

Even if she puts on men's clothes, she can't hide the charming look all over her body.

Such a covert explanation made Hudson roll his eyes. If Princess Madeleine hadn't attracted everyone's attention, Isabel might have been recognized long ago.

But this explanation also explains why Isabel was able to sneak in.

"Lord" is a respectful title for noble men in the Alpha Kingdom, and does not refer to a specific title.

A singer with aristocratic status?

It seems reasonable. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and when there are many nobles, all kinds of strange things will appear.

The probability of a noble becoming a singer is very low, but it is not uncommon for singers to obtain noble status.

Some guys with a sperm-brained brain tend to do things without going through their brains, and they will directly ennoble the singer as a noble when they are happy.

This kind of canonization is usually regarded as a joke, and the mainstream circles will definitely not admit it.

"Okay then, my respected Lord Isabel. Are you trying so hard to sneak in, maybe you also want to win the favor of Princess Madeleine?"

Hudson said slightly mockingly.

Although it is good to be favored by beauties, it is a different story for beauties with ulterior motives.

As if she had touched a painful foot, Isabel's face suddenly turned ugly. The competition between women is more serious than the competition between men.

Facing Princess Madeleine, even though her figure and appearance were completely superior, she was still turned into a scumbag instantly.

All I can say is that beauty and figure are worthless in front of temperament.

Of course, if Isabel also had a father who was a king and a mother who was a queen, then everything would be different.

"Viscount Hudson, are you deliberately trying to make me angry? Could it be that you want to..."

While talking, Isabel also deliberately closed the distance. The fragrant aroma spread over, making Hudson upset.

My mind is very clear, but my body is a little overwhelmed, and the hormones it secretes rise sharply.

"I'm sorry, Lord Isabel. I'm only interested in women, especially beautiful women.

I'm very busy now. This is not the place to talk about things. If there's anything we can find a place to talk about alone after the banquet. "

After saying that, Hudson quickly turned around and left.

There is no shame in admitting desire, but if desire dominates the body, it is a disaster.

This is a public place, and any inappropriate behavior may be noticed by interested people.

…

"Emergency military report!"

The gryphon cavalry descended from the sky and landed on the square in front of the palace. A sealed military report was passed into the hands of Caesar III by the guards as quickly as possible.

"Urgent news came from northern Xinjiang. The orcs are gathering troops to the front line. The war has come!

The banquet ended early, and the ministers followed me to hold an emergency meeting.

All feudal nobles immediately return to their territories to recruit troops and wait for the call from the kingdom! "

The words of Caesar III brought an unsatisfactory end to the banquet.

Military reports from the front line are the best hangover soup, instantly waking everyone up from their drunkenness.

Compared with the big news about the orc invasion, no woman is worth mentioning.

Going back!

Hudson was very dissatisfied with the hasty ending of his trip to the capital. You must know that many of his plans have not yet had time to be implemented.

There was someone in the court who wanted to be an official, and an opportunity to make connections and build a network was lost early.

If you don't rush this kind of thing, making friends too deliberately will only make people feel disgusted.

Early the next morning, Hudson and a group of nobles from the Southeast Province set out to return, without even having time to say goodbye to Melissa.

The war is coming, everything must serve the war, and no one has time to be pretentious.

Hudson could only entrust the matters in the royal capital to be handled by his clansmen. At this time, we can only believe in the power of the family.

The Koslow family has been in decline for many years, but all the connections left by the ancestors have not been severed.

It turned out that we didn't have much contact. It was because as a down-and-out relative, I was too embarrassed to come to my door.

After all, the world of aristocrats is real. Everyone will only play with the same kind of people who are of the same level and have strong connections.

If a small nobleman insists on squeezing his way into the upper class circle, he will only be annoying. Even if it is an in-law relationship, it will become impatient after a long time.

There is an unequal status. With the passing of the older generation, there are naturally fewer people walking around directly, but the etiquette exchanges have not stopped.

Now that the Koslow family is back, Hudson, who lacks connections, naturally wants to pick up this family legacy.

I don't expect to get much help, at least someone will lead the way to avoid random collisions.

There are no accidents. The relationships that can be maintained to this day are basically the original close relatives.

A hundred years is enough to change many people and things, even the most recent one is the third generation.

If it were later, I guess this last connection would slowly disappear in the years.

…

In the Orc Empire, Crown Prince Alex’s camp has arrived at the front line.

Emperor Beamon's stance was too firm. Alex, whose arms couldn't hold his thighs, had no choice but to go to the front line to command the army.

After all, after decades of neglect, even if it is just acting, it can become a living habit imprinted on the body.

Alex felt uncomfortable all over after leaving Yingying Yanyan in the mansion. Especially entering the military camp to command the army made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Butzweig, the meeting in front of the five royal families is about to be held, and I will be busy at that time. You will have to worry more about military affairs."

Rather than leading troops to fight, Alex felt that in his current state, it was more appropriate to play politics.

The political game on the front line is nothing more than a battle for the right to speak in a war.

As the head of the five imperial courts, no matter what the final outcome of the game is, the Behemoth Imperial Court can take away the biggest piece of the cake.

There is no unified standard for carving up political interests. Ordinary people can't tell whether they make money or lose money.

But leading troops to fight is different. It requires real swords and real guns. If the battle is defeated, it will be obvious at a glance.

As the crown prince of the Behemoth clan, Alex, who lacks prestige, cannot bear the risk of defeat.

Under this background, no matter how much he feared the abilities of the nephew in front of him, he could only entrust the affairs of the general to him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I will take care of military affairs.

The 20,000 troops of the Behemoth clan will arrive at the front line in ten days.

Of the 300,000 vassal race troops, 50,000 have now been assembled, and the rest will be assembled within three months.

Coupled with the 100,000-strong Imperial Army stationed at the border, even our family is enough to launch a large-scale war against the human race. "

Prince Butzweig said slowly.

As a good contender for the throne of Beamon Imperial Court, in order to accumulate military merit, Prince Butzweig came to the front line early to serve as governor.

Unfortunately, Emperor Beimeng obviously prefers his son, and would rather push Alex, a waste recognized by the outside world, to the top than give him a chance.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he understood what Emperor Behemoth did. The Orc Empire does not have so many moral and ethical constraints, and the change of imperial power is never peaceful.

Emperor Beamon is so resilient, and if he is replaced by a more capable crown prince, he will most likely initiate a coup in advance because he can't wait any longer.

In contrast, it is easier to control a useless snack like Alex.

It doesn't matter if he is sensual or sensual, I didn't expect him to be successful in the first place.

What Prince Butzweig couldn't figure out was why his shrewd grandfather sent this useless crown prince to command the armed forces.

Fortunately, this rumored good-for-nothing uncle doesn't really only play with women. Although the ability to command troops is not up to standard, the victory lies in knowing how to delegate power.

"Butzweig, this war is no different from previous trials. Once it starts, it will never end in a year and a half.

My Bimon clan has a small population, and every soldier is precious and cannot be easily wasted on the battlefield.

The five royal families are acting together, seemingly as close as one family, but in fact they are still fighting independently.

Our enemies on the battlefield are not only humans, but we also have to be careful of knives coming from within.

Now you have a heavy responsibility, and any negligence may lead to heavy losses for our Behemoth family. "

Crown Prince Alex reminded him earnestly.

What he originally wanted to keep hidden was pushed to the forefront, and he had to show some ability.

If you continue to act stupid, you will become really stupid. If something goes wrong on the front line, it will be a tragedy for him as the crown prince.

As for whether it will arouse fear from the outside world, at this point, how can we look forward and backward?

…

Running wildly on the horse road, when Hudson and his party arrived at the Southeast Province, the recruitment order from the royal capital had already arrived.

Even if the war horse has the blood of a magical beast, it is still a creature running on the ground and cannot be as fast as flying in the sky.

Before he could return to the territory, Hudson was stopped halfway by people from the Governor's Mansion and invited to attend a military meeting in Beda City.

Different from the previous exclusion, at this critical moment, Viscount Sith, as the representative of the Northland nobles, also appeared in the conference room.

"I'm just waiting for you. Now that all the important personnel are in place, I won't waste time.

You all must have heard what happened. The Orc Empire has begun to mobilize, and the Kingdom can only follow suit.

According to the intelligence collected by the kingdom, the total number of troops mobilized by the Orc Empire this time will exceed one million, and may even reach two million.

Even if the Warhammer Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi help share the pressure, this is still a battle related to our life and death.

The kingdom must go all out, and any negligence will bring bloody lessons.

According to His Majesty the King's recruitment order, the Southeast Province will mobilize 30,000 troops in one month and send them to the front line to reinforce the northern Xinjiang defense line.

Everyone must know the list of the first batch of mobilized personnel.

Those young men have nothing to do and have no place to release their energy all day long, so give them a chance to serve the country.

I calculated that in addition to these people, there is still a shortage of fifteen thousand people.

The gap isn't that big, so I didn't bother to subdivide it. Fifteen counties were present, each with a thousand people.

The requirements are simple and can be achieved. We can't just send everyone to the front line. The reinforcements are there to guard the border, not to send heads to the orcs thousands of miles away.

You can discuss the specific allocation behind closed doors when you go back. Anyway, you must follow the rules. If any trouble occurs, you will be severely punished.

As the kingdom's rear area, our southeastern province is at the back of the mobilization sequence. That's because we have always shouldered the heavy responsibility of being the kingdom's granary.

When all-out war breaks out, we must make arrangements for the follow-up work before we lead the troops to fight.

From now on, every month we will provide the front line with fifteen million pounds of rye, eight million pounds of potatoes, five million pounds...

Specific tasks will be implemented in each county, and then you will implement them in detail on each lord.

Don't try to play tricks, the Governor's Mansion will send people to supervise, and the Kingdom will also send inspection teams to conduct spot checks.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be punished as a traitor to the human race.
