King
Chapter 25 Negotiation
"Welcome to Ethel Fortress!"
A hearty voice sounded, but no one felt warm. All the nobles sat firmly on their horses and looked at Count Pierce. No one was willing to bow their heads first. The scene was once awkward.
Dare to go head-to-head with the boss, which really opened Hudson's eyes. Obviously, the status of the nobles in this world is higher than he imagined.
Even though he held great military and political power and was from an outstanding family background, Earl Pierce still had no choice but to rule a group of noble lords.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I am very sorry. We are in armor, so please forgive us for being unreasonable!"
It was Viscount Oran who spoke. It could be seen from his expression that he wanted to be beaten, and he didn't apologize at all.
As a noble who joined the battlefield midway, Ilya Oran was not tricked, but this did not prevent him from fighting for his rights on this basis.
The small and medium-sized nobles are so united now because they are essentially fighting for their own rights. As for seeking justice for the war dead, that is just a superficial statement.
The world of aristocrats is cruel, and what determines the distribution of interests is always strength. In this game, the small and medium-sized nobles and the big nobles are essentially unequal. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you can only join forces.
As the alliance that suffered the most in this war, it should logically be the most joyous, but due to its limited strength, it could only follow the flag-waving and shouting.
It can be seen from the gloomy face of the Chelsea knight that he is full of unwillingness. I wanted to speak several times, but in the end I chose silence.
Although the great knight is good, but that is only for the small nobles. The family is not strong enough to dare to offend Earl Pierce to death, so it can only hand over the leadership to others.
This is obviously not a good thing for Hudson. The alliance failed to gain enough voice, which means that it will fall into passivity next.
Unfortunately, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, none of his allies showed up, and he, a cute new knight, couldn't do anything.
After looking at each other for a while, Count Pierce jumped down from the Flame Lion and said coldly: "The evil weapon Blood Moon Horn has appeared. How powerful it is, you have personally experienced it during the day."
"impossible!"
"With the Pope's seal and the protection of the Judgment Knights, who can take away the Blood Moon Horn from under their noses?"
Viscount Oran said in disbelief.
Upon hearing the shocking news, Hudson almost fell off his horse. Now he is not a novice who has just traveled through time. He is also familiar with the name of "Blood Moon Horn".
Among the few parchments in his library, there is one dedicated to introducing this stuff.
Three hundred years ago, in order to quell the Blood Moon catastrophe, the Koslow family alone lost thirteen knights, and many family branches declined.
After being sealed in the Papal State for three hundred years, he was still able to come out and become a demon. What was even more unfortunate was that he caught up with him. Hudson was speechless about his luck.
Glancing at the companions around him, except for a few guys with little education who were waiting for answers in confusion, everyone else was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Hudson was relieved to see that he was not the only one who made a fool of himself. Even if the sky falls, the tall man will bear it first. The matter of "Blood Moon Horn" is obviously not something that he, a little knight, can control.
It seems that the Skull and Bones are just causing trouble with evil weapons, but how the "Horn of the Blood Moon" escaped from the Papal State and how it came to the Southeast Province is the key to the problem.
There are too many things involved behind this, and it might trigger a new round of royal power vs. religious power. Not to mention a little transparent person like Hudson, I am afraid that a big man like Earl Pierce is also walking on thin ice.
"I also hope this is false, but you have also experienced the battle during the day. When the horn sounds, the soldiers transform into killing machines. Is it similar to the legendary Blood Moon Horn?"
Earl Pierce's answer completely extinguished everyone's illusions. Everyone knew that there was going to be big trouble next.
If the rebellion cannot be extinguished in time, the entire Southeast Province and even the Alpha Kingdom may have to suffer losses, and no one will be able to survive alone.
Not caring to continue to find trouble, everyone dismounted and followed Earl Pierce's footsteps.
Now is not the time for quarrels. The "Blood Moon Horn" is involved, and many things can only be said behind closed doors.
As soon as he entered the hall, an impatient young noble couldn't wait to ask: "Your Excellency, what does the church say?"
"It can't be so fast. I just sent people to pass the news to the kingdom and the church respectively. Waiting for the Papal State to give a reply, it will be next month at the earliest.
Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people. In the short term, we can only solve the problem by ourselves, unless you are willing to lure the wolf into the house. "
Pierce's answer made everyone's faces look even more ugly. The church and the kingdom are temporarily hopeless, and there are not many options left for everyone.
Theoretically, they can also ask for help from the nobles in neighboring provinces, but the world of nobles is also divided into circles.
Internally, everyone struggled with each other for resources; but externally, the nobles of the southeastern provinces were as a whole.
This is not a whole in words, but a political alliance. In the political system of the kingdom, the nobles in the southeastern provinces are a group. According to Hudson's understanding, it is rural party politics.
At the central level, everyone unites politically to fight against aristocratic groups in other provinces; at the local level, everyone also forms their own system and acts as the local emperor in their respective territories.
There is no free lunch in the aristocratic world, and everyone pursues equal exchange. If you ask for help from the nobles of the neighboring provinces, you will definitely have to pay a heavy price.
No one would take this step unless absolutely necessary. No one wants to see neighbors putting their hands on their property and gesticulating.
"It is naturally not advisable to lead a wolf into the house. It's just a Skull and Bones Society that can't go any further. Now the problem is the Blood Moon Horn.
If this problem is not solved, the enemy will have a constant supply of armed cannon fodder to consume us. Everyone has seen the battle during the day, how crazy the rebel soldiers who were controlled by the evil weapon were.
We paid the price of dozens of nobles dying in battle, and we did not leave any enemy leaders behind. We just killed a group of worthless cannon fodder. "
Viscount Oran said solemnly.
The more you know, the more you know how to awe. Compared to ordinary minor nobles, he obviously knows more about the "Blood Moon Horn".
"You don't have to worry too much. Although the Blood Moon Horn is powerful, it has been sealed for more than three hundred years. During this period, it has been continuously baptized by the Holy Light, and it was still affected after all.
If it were the Blood Moon Horn at its peak, fighting during the day would never be so easy. According to legend, it is even possible to turn corpses into undead to continue fighting.
As long as we are fast enough and do not give the enemy time to accumulate strength and feed the evil weapon, the situation can still be saved..."
