King

Having just concluded a military meeting to decide on the next battle plan against the Warhammer Kingdom, Alex suddenly felt uneasy.

His instinct told him that something big was about to happen. As if he thought of something, Alex's expression suddenly changed.

"Guard, let the substitute go out to inspect the camp!"

It seemed that he still felt unsafe, so Alex decisively left his camp.

Even his favorite magic armor was left to the substitute, and he put on an ordinary leather armor.

If you are not close to him, you will definitely mistake him for a Behemoth soldier when you see his new outfit.

After doing all this, Alex directly acted as a soldier and patrolled the camp.

Not long after, a giant golden eagle carrying an old man suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the camp.

The officers who were familiar with the old man's identity hurriedly came forward to greet him and said, "High Priest, why are you here?"

After glancing at the crowd, the old man said cautiously and matter-of-factly: "His Majesty was in an accident and fell into a coma. The Imperial Court cannot be left alone for a day. I'll come over and ask His Majesty to come back and take charge of the overall situation.

Where is Your Highness? Take me there quickly! "

As he spoke, the old man looked slightly unnatural. As a powerful high priest, he had not lied like this for many years.

It’s just that there is no way, Emperor Beamon’s order must be fulfilled, and Crown Prince Alex is not a worry-free person.

The imperial court issued more than a dozen edicts in succession, but he ignored them. Without a reasonable excuse, the old priest suspected that he might not even be able to see anyone.

Alex has been in the army for more than a year. As long as his brain is not too stupid, he can gain a group of supporters by virtue of his status as the crown prince.

Not to mention that he, the high priest, was not proud enough, even if Emperor Beamon came in person, accidents might happen.

It was all caused by tradition. Usurping the throne was too common in the Orc Empire.

Even Emperor Behemoth himself came to his position through coups. With the power of example in front of him, it is not surprising that his son would follow his example.

"His Royal Highness is patrolling the camp, you might as well take a break."

Glaring at the talkative officer, the old priest angrily said: "How can I rest at this time? Take me to see His Highness immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the patrolling substitute had already appeared in the sight of all Behemoths. Without any hesitation, the old priest rushed to the stand-in: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince, an accident has happened to His Majesty, and the Imperial Court needs you to take charge of the overall situation.

The matter is urgent, we will discuss it in detail on the way. "

As he spoke, the old man had already forced his substitute onto the giant golden eagle.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a message to everyone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will go first. You guys are optimistic about the army. End the battle as soon as possible and return to the imperial court!"

In the blink of an eye, two Behemoths and one giant eagle disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a group of officers staring with big eyes.

Crown Prince Alex, who witnessed this scene from the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I finally got through it, but I didn’t know how the old priest would report to Emperor Beamon if he discovered something was wrong later.

But this is impossible to say. This double is no ordinary Behemoth. It is also a descendant of Emperor Behemoth. It has royal blood. If it can fool the high priest now, it may be able to fool him later.

Deep down in his heart, Alex had begun to imagine the anger and helplessness that Emperor Beamon would feel when he completed the secret method with great enthusiasm and suddenly discovered that the substitute was a fake.

…

Perhaps because everyone was eager to return home, the expeditionary force advanced slightly faster than Hudson expected and returned home one day earlier than planned.

As soon as he stepped into the country, he was warmly received by the local nobles. The expeditionary force made a great contribution in not letting the flames of war spread.

Of course, this is not the main reason to accept thanks. What's more important is that the murderous expeditionary force is too scary and makes the local nobles uneasy.

In order to prevent their own territory from suffering a military disaster, they chose to take the initiative, hoping that coach Hudson would enforce military discipline.

This is an embarrassing thing, and it is all the sequelae left when the expeditionary force passed through this place.

The military discipline of the First Corps led by Hudson was faultless.

It cannot be said that Qiu did not commit any crimes. At least the soldiers did not deliberately disturb the people, and they were well received along the way.

The next few legions are hard to describe.

Despite the restraints of the noble officers, the rabble was still a rabble, and there were many robbers and robbers.

It is said that there were conflicts with nobles along the way. This incident is most likely to avoid another military disaster.

Looking at the old-fashioned nobleman who came to greet him, Hudson didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of accidentally sending the person away.

Those who can lift the sword are on the front line, and the remaining nobles who are left behind are the old and the young.

The old immortals with a little bit of strength have now gone to the Orc Empire to fight for the last wave of the secret method of immortality.

Of course, Hudson prefers to believe that they were responsible for causing trouble in the past.

Finally, a group of human masters arrived. If we didn't use their power to attack the Orc Empire, everyone would be in vain.

As a local snake, leading the way is a basic operation. Wherever there is an orc tribe, I just happen to pass by there, and there is no problem at all.

If we don't turn the orc empire upside down, we will be sorry for our ancestors who died at the hands of the orcs.

If the Koslow family's background was not too shallow and there were no established strong men, they would have followed in the past to join in the fun.

"Everyone can rest assured that as long as the logistics supplies along the way are kept up, the soldiers of the expeditionary force will never enter the villages or towns along the way without permission!"

Hudson assured with a smile.

The quality of the soldiers cannot be complimented, but in terms of military discipline, no one dared to leave the camp without ordering the expeditionary force.

There's no reason why you can't do things you can do in the Principality of Moxi after returning home. Under the military law of sitting in a company, if you want to go out, you have to see whether the soldiers in the same team agree.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty the Earl. It is true that the people in the countryside are ignorant and tend to panic when encountering problems.

The main reason is that we people are old. Not only can we not go to the battlefield, but we can't handle even this trivial matter well. "

After hearing the old man's self-deprecating words, Hudson raised his glass and shook it slightly, saying: "Old Marquis, you're welcome, you are the treasure of the kingdom.

Back then, when you led your troops into a bloody battle with the orcs, we juniors were not even born yet!

Now it's our turn to defend the Alpha Kingdom, and we need to give you some advice. "

Although he said it politely, deep down in his heart, Hudson had already cursed. If he had known that this old guy had not gone to the front line, he would not have come to this banquet at all.

More than a hundred people were about to meet the Lord of the Dawn, and the secret of immortality was right in front of them, but they were able to resist the temptation. Hudson didn't know what to say.

But it is precisely because of this "gou" that the old man in front of him, who is no stronger than the Silver Knight, is able to live to this age.

A guy who is not very strong and is good at "gou Dao" and can hide and hide when trouble comes, naturally he doesn't have many achievements to show.

So much so that when Hudson wanted to compliment him, he couldn't find a topic to intervene in, so he could only have an awkward conversation.

However, being able to hang out in the circle of cannibalistic aristocrats is definitely not possible just by relying on "Gou". The old man in front of me is not good at leading troops in war, but he is good at running a family.

Before he took over the family, the Alam family was about to fall out of the circle of great aristocrats. With his efforts, it gradually developed into the first family in the southwest.

In terms of overall strength, it is still above the Dalton family. Hudson will also have a headache when encountering such a local snake.

The rise of new forces will inevitably face the suppression of established forces. This is an eternal truth.

Although he didn't say it directly, the sudden arrival of the old guy in front of him was obviously a warning.

The local forces representing the southwestern provinces told him: New players are not welcome to join here. Don't try to take advantage of the opportunity to calm the refugee flow and imagine setting down roots here.

Obviously, a new round of reshuffle in the kingdom has begun, and the domestic struggle is a bit more intense than Hudson expected.

He was not planning to go to the southwest for development. Naturally, Hudson would not go head-to-head with this group of people just because of this unpleasantness.

In fact, as long as there is no conflict of interest, these old guys are relatively easy to get along with.

Profit-seeking corresponds to weighing the pros and cons. If you encounter problems, analyze them from the perspective of interests, and you can solve most of them.

On the contrary, the younger generation is more troublesome. In addition to interests, there is also jealousy from their peers.

"Other people's children" have always been a source of hatred.

Unfortunately, at Hudson's age, he is what everyone calls "other people's kids."

Not only do you have to be envied by your peers, but also your parents' generation. This is the price of being too good.

"Your Excellency, you are welcome. As the youngest marshal in the mainland, you are the leader of the young people in the kingdom.

If nothing else happens, after the new round of elections to the Kingdom’s Senate, there will be a place for you. "

Marquis Zuel said cheerfully.

Typically, a stick is given and a sweet date is given.

The meaning is very clear, if you come and grab the cake, then everyone will be friends.

The main reason for offering the senate's position as a temptation was that they were afraid that Hudson would bear a grudge and trick them in the subsequent process of quelling the refugee wave.

In fact, that's exactly what Hudson was prepared to do. Although they don't deliberately drive people to their territory, it's okay to be a little slow in their actions.

In the past year, the southwestern provinces have also been having a hard time. Everyone is tightening their belts and repairing their defenses, and almost all men, women, and children are joining the battle.

If another wave of disasters is caused by refugees, even if the Alam family has a strong family background, it will not be possible to recover within a few years.

At this critical moment of political reshuffle, it would be very fatal to hurt the family's vitality.

"Hudson, thank you His Excellency the Marquis for your kindness, I will leave the nomination to you!"

As he spoke, Hudson raised his glass to signal to everyone, then drank it down in one gulp.

This was a naked deal, at the expense of quelling the refugee flow as soon as possible in exchange for the nobles of the Southwest Province giving him a political push in the kingdom.

This is the sequelae of the lack of people in the government. It can't find a way to operate, and it can't even get a nomination at the critical moment.

The Senate seems to have no real power. That's because Caesar III was strong enough and slowly emptied this institution through a series of cunning operations.

As an institution composed entirely of great nobles, the Senate was destined to have a low political status in the kingdom.

In case something happened to the king, the Senate was the auxiliary body.

This thing is not used in daily life, but it is very important at critical moments and is an indispensable ornament.
