King
Chapter 24 Aftermath
Hudson was speechless as he watched his allies mount their war horses and supervise his men to search for corpses. I thought I was obscene enough, but I didn't expect that there were so many like-minded people.
They agreed to collect the corpses of their allies, but in the end they all went to make war fortune. The true expression of their feelings just now was just acting.
Needless to say, we must speed up. Everyone suffered heavy losses in this war, and we didn't get any supplies, so we could only draw ideas from the dead.
The noble family also had no food left, and in a battle that was destined to be a loss of blood, it was only a matter of how much they could recover.
Hudson has no hope of money or anything else. They are all a bunch of bitter people, how much money can they have in their pockets? The key is to grab more weapons and equipment. These are the most precious things during war.
It's a pity that everyone is poor, and only a few leaders among the rebels have iron weapons, and even fewer have armor.
On the contrary, the elite equipment of the fallen ally families was good, but unfortunately most of these weapons and equipment were engraved with markings. Unless the owner also lies down, it is really difficult to keep it privately.
In order to give full play to everyone's subjective initiative, as soon as Hudson opened his mouth, whoever finds the weapon first will change the weapon first. If it is not suitable, they can also exchange it with each other. The unlucky guy who has not gained anything can continue to hold the bamboo gun.
As for gathering the corpses of allies?
There is no need to worry at all. The corpse will not run away while it is lying on the ground. It will be too late after the battlefield is scoured.
As he searched for loot along the way, Hudson was constantly reflecting. The day's battle looked like a successful stroke, but his performance wasn't flawless.
A lone knight wandering on the edge of the battlefield was too conspicuous. Even if they react in time and take remedial measures, there is no guarantee that no one will see it.
Those who are different are ostracized everywhere. It is difficult for a knight who does not conform to the mainstream to mix in aristocratic circles.
Fortunately, the battlefield was too chaotic and no one had time to pay attention to him. Even if he was seen, it would be difficult to accurately identify him from such a distance.
But this is not impeccable after all. After all, there were not many knights charging in the first wave. It is a fact that Hudson did not follow the charge.
Now everyone is immersed in the tragic casualties, and they don't have the heart to think so much. They will definitely have doubts when they react later.
Of course, the fact that Hudson was covered in blood still gave him a lot of points. Failure to follow the charge does not mean that you have not gone into battle to kill the enemy.
Falling behind the team and failing to follow the first wave of charges, the team behind them fell into the siege of the enemy. It makes sense that they could not rush through alone.
Everyone is in the same circle, and no one will talk nonsense without evidence.
However, this kind of thing "can be done once or twice, but not again and again." If it happens too many times, it will eventually break down.
Regardless of what happens in the future, in this war, it must not be discovered.
The only thing that pleased Hudson was that the knights were not constantly fighting on the battlefield. They would also look for opportunities to rest when they were tired.
Of course, there are exceptions for a few fools, but these people usually don't live long. After all, human physical strength is not unlimited, and no one can withstand continuous high-intensity battles!
The kind of killing people for several days in a row, and confronting each other across the battlefield, just listen to it as a story. If we take it seriously, these on earth are examples.
…
Under the setting sun, looking at the corpses on the ground, Count Pierce also wanted to cry without tears. It seems that they have won, but this wave of Dalton family suffered a bloody loss.
Not only did he offend many small and medium-sized nobles in the province, but the elite family members also lost hundreds of dollars, especially the Crimson Knights, which lost over a hundred members. After paying such a high price, the achievements achieved cannot be achieved.
Although the rebels suffered greater casualties, cannon fodder is really worthless. If one batch dies, you can still get another batch.
With the "Blood Moon Horn" around, any serf who has just put down his hoe is a threat. Whether it's ten for one or twenty for one, Skull and Bones makes money with blood.
There is no doubt that the next battle will be even more brutal, but something went wrong on the counter-rebellion army's side. Judging from the reactions of the nobles, it is clear that everyone is very dissatisfied with him as the coach.
As usual, after a battle was over, it was time to visit him as the coach first, but instead everyone went to search for loot.
It's useless to be angry. The autonomy of the feudal nobles has always been very high. If Pierce had not been the governor of the southeastern province appointed by the kingdom, no one would have ignored him.
It is true that the Dalton family is the largest noble in the province, but other nobles are not easy to mess with. Who in a family with a little bit of background doesn't have some tricks to keep the bottom of the pack?
Normally, everyone gives him face as the boss, but this time he was cheated, how could he not express it?
Pierce knew very well that things were not going to be easy to handle today. If we can't give everyone a satisfactory answer, life will be difficult for the Dalton family in the future.
"Send the order and invite representatives from each family to enter the fortress to discuss matters."
Earl Pierce said in a low tone.
Being able to bend and stretch is a good virtue of aristocrats. It’s not scary to do something wrong, but it’s to make the same mistake again and again. Being able to control the southeastern province for a long time, Earl Pierce is obviously not an ordinary person.
The previous two calculation errors were due to information asymmetry and misestimation of the strength of all parties. Pierce will not make the same mistake a third time, and reality does not allow him to make a third time.
…
Nobles pay attention to their appearance. Normally, they have to dress up properly to accept invitations. This time is purely an exception.
Dressed in military uniform, without even wiping off the blood on his face, Hudson stepped into the fortress.
Except for a few nobles who were late and did not catch up with the battle, everyone was dressed in the same way.
Obviously, this was a practical action to express dissatisfaction with Earl Pierce. Especially the alliance members who were the first to join the war were filled with anger.
Because of Earl Pierce's hesitation, everyone suffered heavy losses. If we don't give an explanation, the lawsuit will have to go to the capital.
Of course, the angry people did not include Hudson. Reason told him that being angry would not solve any problems. Choosing to stand with everyone is just for the sake of being gregarious.
Looking at the cavalry lined up to greet them, Hudson knew that this was a force deterrent and warned them not to make too much trouble.
But such a little trick had no impact on Hudson. Now he was staring at a group of cavalry, eager to take them for himself.
During the day's battle, this elite cavalry slaughtered everyone on the battlefield, leaving a very deep impression on him.
In Hudson's view, this is the level that a regular army should have. A private army created by a group of small and medium-sized nobles. Except for a small number of guards, the rest are just a mob.
Deep down in his heart, Hudson has already made a decision: If there is a chance in the future, he will have such an elite cavalry.
