King

"What, refused?"

Caesar III said unhappily.

The look in Earl Lauren's eyes changed, as if to say: You're not doing well, and you can't even get this little thing done.

"Your Majesty, Earl Hudson is very firm in his refusal. I really have no choice!"

As he spoke, Earl Lauren was about to cry. This matter was really not his responsibility, and he, the king's special envoy, was unable to do anything when he refused.

There are many things that can be done quickly, but it would be nonsense to forcibly appoint a military commander when others refuse.

Rubbing his forehead, Caesar III didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room became particularly strange.

In any case, military commanders always have to have them. It’s embarrassing that no one is willing to take over even though they know it’s a mess.

The previous commanders appointed for the Southwest Front Army and the Central Front Army were also veterans of the Alpha Kingdom. It can be said that they had great military exploits, but in the end they ended in disgrace.

There are lessons learned from the past, and capable noble officers are naturally unwilling to jump into the trap. Tiehanhan is willing to go, but everyone is worried.

The trap we poked before is already big enough. If it happens again, no one can stand it!

Originally, Caesar III was worried that the concentration of military power would be detrimental to the domestic political balance. Now I suddenly discovered that the problem is no longer balance and imbalance.

Based on the performance of the Southwest Front Army and the Central Front Army, they are simply two hot potatoes. If the kingdom hadn't had any troops available, Caesar III wouldn't even have looked at this piece of trash.

The main reason is the sequelae of blind optimism. The capable nobles have all gone to the Northern Expeditionary Army to gain military exploits, leaving behind only those who failed in success but failed in failure.

"Your Majesty, although Earl Hudson has declined the position of commander, we can still let him take charge of the troops first.

Among all the generals in the kingdom, he is the best at maintaining military discipline. The soldiers under his command are the most peaceful and will not leave the barracks without military orders.

For the current Southwest Front Army and the Central Front Army, this kind of strict commander is needed to reverse the unhealthy trends in the army! "

The Minister of Military Affairs, Efiero, said righteously.

Someone has to pick up the hot potato. Hudson, who has strong abilities, excellent performance, and no identity background, is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Lauren, how does Earl Hudson manage the army?"

Caesar III asked with concern.

It is not that difficult to pull a team that is rotten from top to bottom out of the quagmire.

The commander-in-chief in front did not take measures, but unfortunately failed in the end.

"Your Majesty, I don't know exactly how Earl Hudson manages the army.

However, in the southeastern front camp, I heard bursts of wailing, which should be the screams of soldiers who violated military discipline and were punished.

Perhaps the strict military discipline of the Southeast Front Army was forged by strict military laws. "

Earl Lauren said uncertainly.

This answer does not satisfy everyone. No matter how strict military law is, someone must enforce it. When military officers also become corrupted, no matter how strict military law is, it is just a decoration.

"snort!"

"If you don't know, then send someone to learn from it. Ministry of Military Affairs, please quickly arrange for generals to go there. There is no need to cause trouble for those crooked melons and cracked dates.

Lauren, if you make another trip, be sure to ask Earl Hudson to take over the Southwest Front and the Central Front.

Send the order to have these two troops move closer to the Southeast Front. Next, I don’t want to hear any more bad news! "

Caesar III ordered angrily.

…

In the Principality of Moxi, Prince George enthusiastically welcomed the reinforcements from the Human Alliance. To be exact, this kind of welcoming activity has lasted for less than half a month.

There is no way, there are too many forces within the Human Alliance, and there are still conflicts between them. It would be too difficult for them to arrive together.

"Your Highness, Blake, the leader of the Knights of Judgment of the Holy See, is here."

The attendant's words shocked everyone's hearts. Even hundreds of years have passed, the famous name of the Judgment Knights is still a shadow in the hearts of many people.

Different from ordinary knights, the Judgment Knights have long since transformed into a hodgepodge, with not only knights running on the ground, but also flying knights, and even a navy.

The behemoth that gathered together the land, sea and air forces has a total strength of 80,000. In terms of military strength, it is much stronger than many countries.

The head of the Judgment Knights personally led the team here, which is enough to prove that the Holy See attaches great importance to this operation.

The earth-moving dragon army made a shocking appearance, giving people the feeling that the earth was shaking from a distance. The huge body was not easy to mess with at a glance.

As if dissatisfied with being stolen away from the limelight by the Earthly Dragon Legion, the flying dragon in the sky let out a roar, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.

Encountering two teams of show-offs, the ordinary cavalry accompanying them were overshadowed. Even though they are the elite among the elite, they become inconspicuous in front of extraordinary soldiers.

"Let's go and greet him!"

As soon as George finished speaking, a new team appeared in the sky. The same huge body walked toward everyone like a mountain.

There was a new dragon roar in the sky. The sound was slightly different from the previous flying dragon, but it did not affect their domineering appearance at all.

There was no need to wait for his subordinates to report, just by looking at the lineup, George knew that this was the Tyrannosaurus Rex Legion and the Winged Dragon Cavalry of the Frankish Kingdom.

They are the only countries in the mainland who dare to confront the Holy See in such a tit-for-tat manner. But compared with declaring the pope illegal, this small attack is nothing at all.

The two major forces are competing against each other, which is very painful for Prince George. They are all the top forces in the human race, and one family cannot afford to offend them.

It happened that the two families bumped into each other, and the reception became a big problem. There is no way to welcome people at the same time. If you welcome one family first, you will definitely offend the other family.

Even though deep down he preferred the Frankish Kingdom, George was really unsure about having the severely damaged Principality of Moxi involved in this camp struggle.

"It's really lively, how about adding me to the list!"

A hearty voice fell from the sky, and the embarrassed George was instantly overjoyed. If the two strong antagonisms are mixed together, they will be shattered into pieces if they are not careful.

Now that it has become a tripartite force, the situation will change instantly. The emergence of the Iliban Kingdom brought a temporary end to this battle.

The Giant Eagle Cavalry, the Vulture Cavalry, and the Gryphon Cavalry are a complete set of groceries for the air force, but unfortunately they are not as impressive as the "sub-dragon species" in front of them.

However, the Velociraptor Legion on the ground is not inferior to the previous two. The size is slightly smaller, but it is more flexible.

The second most powerful country in the mainland, Ilibia is well-deserved.

The confrontation between the top three really made everyone watch a good show. The remaining reinforcements all became low-key.

Compared with these three giants, although other human forces also have considerable strength, they are still much inferior overall.

The three major forces each sent 30,000 troops, accounting for 30% of all reinforcements, but their combat effectiveness accounted for far more than half, and they were fully responsible for the force.

…

In the southeastern front army camp, Hudson once again welcomed an uninvited guest. He really had no temper for this group of nobles who came to learn how to run an army.

In this era of strict confidentiality of knowledge, Hudson didn't know how to complain when the theft was carried out so openly.

Deep down in his heart, he had greeted Caesar III's family many times, but on the outside he had to warmly receive all the guests.

Almost all the great nobles in the kingdom sent representatives, and he really couldn't afford to offend.

Facing the looming jealous eyes in the crowd, Hudson knew that Caesar III had caused a wave of hatred for him this time.

Isn't it just that he refused to be the commander-in-chief, so why is he so petty?

After thinking about it, Hudson still joined everyone in praising His Majesty the King for his wisdom. I really can't afford to offend him. There are too many ways for the boss to put small shoes on his younger brother.

If you are happy for a moment, you will be miserable for the rest of your life. Especially for a quasi-big noble like Hudson whose fiefdom had not yet been settled, he could not afford to offend the king.

It's okay to give him face, but there's still no way to get him to jump into the trap. What is the difference between acting as a military commander and serving as a commander-in-chief?

If you don’t want to learn, then just follow along and learn. How much you can learn depends entirely on your ability. Anyway, Hudson will not take the initiative to teach.

Leading troops to fight mainly depends on talent. If it doesn't work, it really doesn't work. No matter how many military books you read and how many military management strategies you learn, the essence cannot be changed.

Veterans are made through experience, not strong men. Those mass-produced can only be grassroots officers, not "famous generals".

"Dear Earl Hudson, where do you put the dignity of the nobility when you run the army like this?"

The unsociable voice sounded, and Hudson knew the kicker was coming. The people who are being punished now are none other than the N-generation group of nobles, who happened to be bumped into by the study and observation group.

Strict military discipline also comes at a price. Most of them are a ragtag group of Southeastern Front troops who can do no harm to the people at the expense of the butts of a group of noble N generations.

The operation is very simple. If you are restless, drag him out and beat him up, and beat him in front of his soldiers.

If you are not convinced after one meal, you can have another meal. Anyway, hanging around in the Southeast Front Army is enough.

Most of the wailing sounds in the military camp were contributed by the careless officers of your generation. As for the serf soldiers below, how can they not know how to behave when their own master has been punished?

Occasionally, some people who do not believe in evil still hang their heads on the flagpole outside.

One by one, Hudson was never merciless when dealing with people.

He didn't cut off the heads of the noble officers, but just beat them up. That was because he was trying to save face for the families behind these guys, and it was ridiculous to talk about the dignity of the nobles.

"A group of guys without noble qualities are a complete disgrace to the nobility. They are not worthy of the dignity of the nobility. Do you think there is a problem?"

While asking the question, Hudson's sharp eyes were also locked on the young noble. An invisible pressure forced him to take three steps back.

I originally wanted to say something, but unfortunately my morale was exhausted. The words came to his lips, but in the end they became hesitant.

After winning the brief confrontation, Hudson was not happy at all. It's not that the quality of the nobles is not good, it's that the quality of these nobles who play the role is not good.

The reason is very simple, the elites of the younger generation are on the front line. Those who stay in the country are either determined to have no military talent, or they are just waiting to die.

Only a few of them had to stay and recuperate because they were seriously injured in previous battles.

Someone jumped out to cause trouble so quickly, which proved that many people in the kingdom did not welcome him, a new player, to enter.

There is no way, who made him too young?

Everyone really couldn't tolerate a guy who was younger than themselves and from a worse background than themselves, putting pressure on them.

This will make them lose face so much that their original excuses can no longer be used. Failure to make a leap is due to one's own incompetence, rather than due to various special objective conditions.

For most of the younger generation, other people's children like Hudson are both their role models and a nuisance that brings them back to reality.

The accent just now seemed to come from the North. Vaguely, Hudson seemed to understand the origin of this hostility.
