King

Chapter 255 Growth

Before he could straighten out his relationships with various families, a piece of news from the frontline rescued Hudson from his troubles.

The sturdy Uncle Knights suffered heavy losses in the battle between the Behemoth Imperial Court and the "Beast God Guards", and were then besieged by the orc army.

In the final battle, not only did all the masters from the Behemoth Imperial Court come out, but even the masters from the other four imperial courts came over to participate in the battle.

Facts have proven that it is difficult to kill an elephant even if there are too many ants. After successive battles, this special army was still not able to be left behind. Unfortunately, time is not forgiving.

The war only caused heavy losses to this army; but the years brought this army to its end.

Many old and powerful men did not die in the hands of the enemy, but their bodies were exhausted due to the high-intensity battle and they went to see the Lord of the Dawn in advance.

The most important thing is that the belief that supported them came over collapsed. Emperor Behemoth, who was suspected of possessing the secret method of immortality, saw the beast god amid a roar.

With the defeat of the orcs and the death of Emperor Beamon, the truth about the secret method of immortality also surfaced.

"Mysterious altar, rune carvings in the underground palace, countless bones of powerful men, five special hanging coffins, the corpse of the false crown prince..."

The specific operation process is no longer important. Just these things found in the underground palace are not enough for everyone.

Even if someone goes crazy to extend his life, he must have enough sons to sacrifice. Even if an individual had a lot of life, where would they find so many powerful sacrifices?

Using the power of the Orc Empire, Emperor Bimeng had to take risks to gather the final sacrifice.

Now that the secret has been exposed, whenever there is a large-scale disappearance of powerful people in the future, someone will immediately think of it.

This kind of thing that challenges the bottom line of human morality will attract groups to attack if any clues are left.

There are so many deceptive restrictions, but it only extends some lifespan, but cannot achieve true immortality.

Emperor Behemoth died due to the backlash. Who can prove that the exposed secret method must be effective?

For a group of waning old people, the last shattered belief is the end of life.

Even if people are still alive, don't expect them to continue to work hard. The team originally organized for the "immortality dream" has now dispersed because the "immortality dream was shattered".

Except for the strong men of the Alpha Kingdom who chose to stay in the army and contribute their last strength to the kingdom, most of the surviving strong men of the human race chose to leave this sad place.

Without this group of experts as the vanguard, the kingdom's army would not have the strength to sweep across all directions. After the Battle of the Royal Court, Marshal Campbell immediately chose to retreat.

Unfortunately, things are always unexpected. It was smooth sailing when I arrived, but it is not so easy to go back.

The orcs appeared out of nowhere and kept launching various attacks, making the army unable to rest for a moment.

These childish troubles can only be regarded as minor troubles. The bigger trouble is that the orc army on the front line of the Warhammer Kingdom is on its way back.

Judging from the current speed of the army's withdrawal, the probability of an encounter between the two sides halfway is not high.

In this expedition to the Behemoth Imperial Court, the Alpha Kingdom used all its strength, and almost all the main forces in the kingdom were on the front line.

In order to compete for the cake after the war, the nobles also tried their best. Compared with the success or failure of the front line, the group of prisoners in Hudson's hands was nothing at all.

Although the envoys did not evacuate, the frequency of harassment against Hudson was obviously significantly reduced.

Before the battle situation on the front line is clear, competing for interests is a joke. Once your own strength is severely damaged, no matter how much you eat, you will eventually vomit it out.

Unless you achieve earth-shattering results after paying heavy losses, you need to pay attention to your eating habits to avoid the prying eyes of the outside world.

And this deadline is also time-limited. When everyone forgets this contribution, everything will return to the nature of the jungle.

"Evora, you are responsible for leading people to escort these ten thousand people back to the mountain territory. This is the letter I wrote to my father. He will naturally know how to arrange it by then.

If someone intercepts you on the road, there is no need to give face. As long as you stick to the truth and don't cause any casualties to the nobles, I'll take care of everything for you. "

Hudson ordered to his second brother.

Unlike the eldest brother, who inherited too much wisdom from his parents, Evola is a simple-minded person, and even his limbs are not "developed" enough.

It doesn't matter if you don't have enough eyes and strength. As long as the execution is strong enough, they are also talents.

As Hudson's brother, his identity is his greatest value. Escorting refugees may seem simple, but it is also complex.

If you encounter a local snake on the way, ordinary nobles will really not be able to frighten you. Especially when meeting big nobles, they don't speak forcefully if their status is not equal.

One thing brings another, if you really encounter a shameless obstacle, a reckless man like Evora is the most suitable.

Hint, don't understand; express, reject directly.

It's impossible to grab it openly!

With the main force of the kingdom away, the tens of thousands of expeditionary troops in Hudson's hands were already the strongest armed force in the country.

If he doesn't rob others, he is giving face. Anyone who dares to rob the expeditionary force is definitely out of his mind.

At most, there are only a few thick-skinned people who rely on their status to take advantage of the little nobles below.

Every family head is on the front line, and Evola's status is exactly the same as that of the people left behind. It's okay to yell at each other, even if it's a fight, it won't hurt.

Of course, it is better not to fight if you can. The main reason is that my second brother is not strong enough and there is a high probability that he will not be able to win in a duel.

"Hudson, how about I go there? Arrange for the second son to go there. If there is a conflict with the Dalton family, he may not be able to handle it."

Nelson said worriedly.

"Nelson, what do you mean? Are we afraid of the Dalton family?"

Evola asked angrily.

There are reasons for being hostile to the Dalton family. The expeditionary force was suddenly called back home, and it was the Dalton family who took the lead.

They were originally competitors, but they were plotted against each other again. Naturally, their relationship would not get better.

Although he came back to quell the rebellion, he had an advantage when carving up the refugees; but he led the coalition forces to the front line, and Hudson was able to get more.

Especially in this situation, if the kingdom's army suffers a major defeat, Hudson may even have a chance to take over the position of Marshal Campbell.

The opportunity to become the top boss of the military just flew away before his eyes. The only problem is that members of the Koslow family don't hate the Dalton family.

There is still a gap in strength between the two sides, but now the Koslow family and the second family in the province are still allies. The combined strength of the two families is actually better than the Dalton family.

From this point of view, Dalton was forced to hold back Hudson. Who allowed the military strength of the Koslow family to expand too fast?

Other families are getting weaker and weaker as they fight on the battlefield, but the Koslow family is getting stronger and stronger. How can their competitors survive?

If Hudson really becomes a military boss and makes some moves during foreign wars, the Dalton family may be in trouble.

The highest level of killing with a borrowed knife is never to deliberately send out a death mission, but to arrange a seemingly safe mission that is destined to cause accidents.

Ordinary generals are not capable of such far-reaching arrangements, but "famous generals" who have grown up on the battlefield can.

Hudson, who has the "aura of a famous general", makes many nobles in the country feel uneasy.

"Evora, that's not what I meant. The main reason is that now we don't need to directly conflict with the Dalton family. No matter how many grievances we have, we can only settle them after the war is over.

If something happens to them on the battlefield, there will be people to push down the wall. We don’t need to be the bad guys.

The Koslow family is even more unfit to be such a villain! "

Nelson's words made Hudson smile slightly. Being able to see this proves that his training was not in vain.

Suppressing Nelson along the way and preventing him from going to the battlefield was not only a matter of safety, but also a way to exercise his political abilities.

Compared to outsiders, brothers are always more reliable. Talents must be cultivated anyway, and priority must be given to cultivating those with a higher safety factor.

This is the social environment. When knowledge is strictly blocked, all the great nobles are playing the game of family affairs.

Hudson believed that he could still suppress these brothers, enough to prevent them from having delusions.

"Okay, this matter has been decided.

Evola, as the person in charge of the first batch of refugees; Nelson, as the person in charge of the second batch of refugees.

As for the Dalton family, don't take the initiative to provoke them. If someone reaches out randomly, don't be too polite.

If possible, I don't want to fall out with them yet. The political reshuffle of the kingdom has just begun, and you cannot judge friends and foes based on your inherent concepts.

Today we and the Dalton family are competitors, but who can guarantee that we will not become allies tomorrow? "

Hudson's words confused the two of them. If his prestige hadn't been too high, they might have jumped up to refute.

Geopolitics is their recent major. Numerous historical cases prove that neighbors with conflicting interests will eventually become enemies.

Seeing this scene, Hudson didn't explain. Some things can only be understood by oneself, and cannot be understood by others.

The Southeast Province cannot accommodate two major nobles, but that does not mean that the two families are always hostile and cannot reach a compromise within a period of time.

The Koslow family now has military strength, but lacks a matching economic foundation. It still needs a lot of time to lay a solid foundation.

As long as the Dalton family also needs time, there is a possibility that the two sides will reach a compromise in the short term.

Essentially, everyone is wearing shoes now, and has escaped the life-and-death struggle at the bottom. We cannot risk our fortunes at every turn.
