King

The army moved forward and picked up many broken soldiers along the way. It was expected that the team would grow stronger, but Hudson looked depressed.

After being prepared, he waited for the enemy to come and attack, but the result was that he was waiting... Regardless of mentioning it, all the crossbows he had prepared were in vain.

In order to obtain these equipment, Hudson used all possible means to report to the capital every now and then, outlining the pros and cons.

To sum up, you can compile a book "On the Importance of Miniature Magic Crossbows in Cavalry Combat".

Concentrating the power of the kingdom, he acquired thousands of miniature magic crossbows. He wanted to teach the enemy a lesson, but unfortunately the opponent did not give him a chance.

The Behemoth cavalry who had suffered a loss did not dare to attack, and the commanders of the Lion Tribe and Silver Moon Wolf Tribe were not fools either. Knowing that the enemy is difficult to deal with, naturally he will not run to fight in a decisive battle when he has insufficient troops.

So much so that in the past two days, all those who came to cause chaos to the army were the Eagle Air Force. The other three royal families were busy chasing down the Northern Expeditionary Army and gathering the dispersed teams.

Even if Hudson comes to the door, he can avoid it just right. If you want to play a sneak attack, first take care of the Yingren Air Force hanging above your head!

Without air control, everything would be difficult. This time, he understood why the Northern Expedition Army was so passive as it had most of the main force of the Alpha Kingdom.

Sincerity is not a matter of hard work or not. Every move of the army is under the eyes of the enemy. What they want to do is discovered before they can carry it out.

When all strategies and tactics fail to work, what the two sides compete for is hard power. Being able to divide the orc army and create opportunities for the army to break out under such circumstances, Marshal Campbell is quite powerful.

It's a pity that the old marshal died suddenly, otherwise Hudson would definitely visit and communicate.

Faintly, Hudson also noticed a trace of conspiracy. Under normal circumstances, the army commander is surrounded by expert guards, and the probability of being able to break out is very high.

Even if his identity is exposed on the battlefield, it only takes a moment to forcefully break through the encirclement, and then leave immediately after killing the blood, and will not stay where he is at all.

The probability of encountering an orc master and being blocked again is almost zero.

"Betrayed by one of my own people?"

As soon as the idea came to mind, Hudson couldn't get rid of it. The moral integrity of nobles is very polarized. Sometimes it is quite high, and sometimes it is frighteningly low.

It is entirely possible to betray Marshal Campbell's whereabouts in order to weaken the royal family.

What's more, besides them, there are some mysterious organizations that have also become black hands. For example: the July Meeting that Hudson came into contact with.

In the last major assassination case, the officially announced murderers were the Orcs and the July Society. It’s not just a matter of passing the blame, both companies were indeed involved.

If you can collude once, you can collude a second time.

The July Society itself is a Northland noble that failed in the struggle. No matter how declining it is, it still has some personal connections. It is not strange to be able to obtain a position in the army.

"Earl, the commander of Ketele's army wants to see you."

The guard's words made Hudson slightly stunned. I almost forgot that he also had members of the July Society under his command.

Although "Kateley" passively joined the July Club, he was also a member of the July Club. Now that I'm in the Northland, something will happen in July, and I might contact him again.

"Bring him in!"

Hudson said calmly.

The sad look between his brows still revealed that he was not in a good mood at the moment. His intuition told him that the matter was far from over.

…

"Earl, I just received a secret letter. That guy Long Xi wants me to convince you to take action against the five great dukes in the North in order to avenge the blood revenge of that year.

They said in the letter that the five Dukes of the North had colluded with the orcs, and that the orcs had instructed the five Dukes to instigate the army to break out this time. "

As he spoke, Kettle handed the letter to Hudson. The trembling of his hands proved that he was very hesitant in his heart.

The July Society was formed to take revenge on the five major families in the North. Judging from the ingredients, Hudson should be considered the same as them.

Looking through the family tree, maybe more than ten generations ago, everyone was still related.

The only difference is that they chose to lurk in the north to look for opportunities for revenge, while the Koslow family chose to go south. In other words, the direct lineage in the north was all gone, and only the southern branch survived.

After glancing at the contents of the letter, Hudson's expression did not change at all. It has never been a secret that the five wealthy families in the North have connections with the orcs.

The smuggling trade has been going on for so many years, and if there is no contact between the two parties, then there is a real problem.

Selling teammates in exchange for one's own livelihood is nothing. Regardless of principles, when it comes to life and death, few people can remain calm.

Comparing the operations of Liaodong Jiangmen Group in history, they still have a bottom line. He only encouraged the army to break out, but he did not act as a traitor and stab his own people.

"There is insufficient evidence!"

Hudson couldn't help but complain.

Nobles have no shortage of dark histories. Almost all great nobles have a lot of bad things behind their butts. As long as the lid is not lifted, it does not exist.

If you want to use these stains to attack the enemy, the biggest problem is-"evidence".

If you have sufficient evidence in your hands and choose a suitable time to bring it out, even the five wealthy families in the North will be unable to take advantage of it and just go around in circles.

Unfortunately, the information in the hands of the Guangqiyue Society can only prove that there has been contact between the five major families in the North and the orcs.

This kind of crime, for ordinary people, means confiscating their homes and destroying their families. When it comes to these big nobles, they will only receive a little criticism at most.

It is estimated that he saw this and chose to take the risk to cooperate with Hudson, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the children of the five major families.

The fireball flashed and the letter was instantly reduced to ashes.

"Just treat this matter as if nothing happened. If they contact you again, tell them: The risk is too great and I am not interested in participating.

If you get entangled, just say: You haven't gained my trust, and your words don't have enough weight. "

Hudson said coldly.

The July Society wanted to seek revenge from the five major families in the North, and he was happy to see it succeed, but it was unnecessary to take the initiative to participate.

The Locknard family alone is enough to give him a headache, and if he adds a few more enemies, it will be even more difficult for him to survive.

A high position, great power, and many soldiers and generals are all an illusion. In essence, the foundation of Hudson is still very weak, and it will collapse if you are not careful.

The army under his command was improvised. He obeyed orders because he was the highest military commander appointed by the kingdom. There was no loyalty at all.

…

On the long road to escape, the Northern Expeditionary Army was already in disarray. Many people are running around in all directions, and those who can survive until now are considered lucky.

In the eyes of the orcs, there is no distinction between nobles and civilians, as long as the human race is the target of their slaughter. At most, they just deliberately put some slack in chasing the nobles of the North.

After chasing and escaping all the way until now, the coalition of nobles from the southeastern provinces who have gathered together is still out of ten.

It is pure nonsense to say that the southeastern provinces send out strong troops and randomly pick out any county to be elite.

Only when they really fought against the orcs did everyone realize the gap in strength between the two sides. Not to mention compared with the elite orcs, even compared with the ordinary army in the North, there is a big gap between them.

The reason why Wright County's army can fight is because the "Knights of the Divine Bow" have strong military command capabilities. If they change the commander, they can do whatever they want.

Although no one dared to say it, deep down in their hearts, everyone criticized Earl Pierce.

Knowing that Hudson can play, and throwing him to the Principality of Moxi, aren't you deliberately cheating your teammates?

The one who drew the lots was the unlucky Sis, so he should be allowed to go. If Earl Pierce hadn't had selfish motives and deliberately released the water, Sith, as the county guard, wouldn't have been able to leave.

In the eyes of many nobles, if the "Sacred Bow Knights" were left in the coalition of nobles in the southeastern province, it would be a different story.

In a head-on confrontation with the orcs, everyone may have limited abilities. But when it comes to the ability to hold thighs, no one of them is worse than the other.

When I think of the barons and knights who followed me on the expedition, and now they are the commanders of the legions, I feel endless annoyance.

There is no way, it is all caused by being too close. As old neighbors, everyone knows very well what the now prestigious First Regiment of the Border Guards and the original Wright County Regiment are.

Watching helplessly a group of guys who are not as good as themselves, one by one getting ahead, while they are still running for their lives, there is endless resentment in their hearts.

Count Pierce was also very depressed about this change. They thought they had arranged a death mission, but they didn't expect that they were not dead. Those who thought they were safe were instead pushed to the edge of a cliff.

After fleeing all the way, the famous Crimson Knights under his command has been reduced by more than half. The private armies of other nobles suffered heavy losses, and there was no one out of ten.

The reason why we can persist until now is because there are no ordinary people who have followed the team until now.

The serf soldiers either perished under the slaughtering knives of the orcs, or fell behind during the escape and were scattered on the vast prairie.

"Earl, good news! A large group of cavalry appeared fifty miles ahead, flying the flag of Earl Hudson, and the corresponding troops are coming!"

The scout's words made the fleeing people's eyes brighten, and then their expressions dimmed again.

Reinforcements did come, but not the reinforcements they wanted.

We both came from the southeastern province, and we originally had a close friendship, but our friendship outweighed our interests.

If the Koslow family wants to rise, it will inevitably expand its territory. All the land in the southeastern province now has an owner.

If Hudson wanted to maximize his profits after the war, he would have to send them to death. They would do the same thing if they were castling.

You may feel a little bit unbearable in your heart to do something evil directly, but you will definitely not hesitate at all.

"Have you been in contact with Earl Hudson?"

Earl Pierce asked with a gloomy expression.

Reason told him that Hudson might be able to accommodate other small and medium-sized nobles, but as the boss, he was a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

"No!"

The soldier in charge of the investigation said with a trembling voice.

No matter how slow his reaction was, he knew that he had just said the wrong thing. But they couldn't figure out why the nobles looked so gloomy with reinforcements right in front of them.

After hearing the news, Earl Pierce's expression softened slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is nothing to do here, go down and rest first!"

The atmosphere became tense again, everyone was waiting for Earl Pierce's decision.

"After taking a short rest, we continued on our way. It is estimated that the orc cavalry behind us is almost rested.

If nothing else happens, there will be a fierce battle to come.

There is no need to panic. The kingdom has sent troops to respond. There will be more than one team, and we will encounter them again soon.

There aren't too many pursuers behind us. As long as a few thousand fresh troops join us, we don't have to be afraid of them.

Along the way, you also saw it. The enemy has been trying to avoid casualties as much as possible, and the orcs can no longer afford to lose! "
