Chapter 28 The Suffering Fifth Army

The core interests of the nobles were not touched, and the reorganization work went smoothly. Except for some criticism due to his military position, basically there was no trouble.

Disputes over military positions are easy to handle. It's not a regular army anyway, so it doesn't need to be so serious.

As far as Hudson knew, in order to balance the interests of all parties, in addition to the Fifth Army and the First Army, the other three armies still had a few more regiments even though they were not fully staffed.

The First Army was the direct descendant of Earl Pierce. Even if the personnel are not directly under the standing army, they are still his vassals. With the boss suppressing them, naturally no one dares to make trouble.

The Fifth Army was simply frightened by yesterday's battle. Many families have suffered heavy losses and have no money to make a fuss.

If not, Hudson would not be the leader of the 10th Regiment. Even if he just makes up the numbers, there are many more people who are more qualified than him.

In aristocratic circles, seniority is also valued. In a sense, no one is teaming up with him, and there are reasons for this.

If Hudson had a distinguished family background or a higher title, that would be fine. It just so happens that he is a cute new knight who has not been canonized. It is really hard to save his face by being subordinate to such a young boy!

Others are not willing to be the little brother, and Hudson is even less willing to be the little brother to others. Of course, no one would overestimate their ability to accept a younger brother.

Hudson knew that the soldiers in his hands were a ragtag group, but that didn't mean that others knew it too. In the eyes of the outside world, the hundreds of direct descendants under his command still have some combat effectiveness.

I was drunk just thinking about it. Other time travelers pretended to be pigs to eat tigers, but here they turned into pretending to be tigers to scare pigs.

As soon as the reorganization was completed and before he had time to adapt, Earl Pierce eagerly ordered the expedition.

From an overall perspective, there is obviously nothing wrong with this decision. Knowing that the Skull and Bones Society has the "Blood Moon Horn" in its hands, naturally it cannot leave any more time for the enemy to prepare.

But when it comes to specific implementation, problems arise frequently. The aristocratic coalition, which had just completed its initial reorganization and had not yet adapted, obviously did not have the ability to conduct an expedition.

However, this has little to do with Hudson. The Fifth Army was tasked with transporting grain and grass. Under normal circumstances, it would not be their turn to go to the battlefield.

Judging from the reactions of his colleagues, Hudson knew this was going to be a hard job. If you do a good job, that's what you should do; if something goes wrong, you still have to take responsibility; if the war doesn't go smoothly, there's still the possibility of taking the blame.

Regarding military exploits, I have never heard of a food transport team. It makes no sense to talk about the importance of escorting food and grass. The habit of counting military achievements in the Aslant continent is to look at the results.

Transporting food and grass can be done by anyone, and everyone is not in the habit of robbing food and grass. At least in Hudson's memory, there is no historical record of anyone taking the initiative to send troops to rob the grain road.

Ninety-nine percent of wars are gentlemen's wars, where everyone abides by the rules and rarely makes mistakes.

Of course, the rebels may be the exception. Without the constraints of aristocratic game rules, there are usually unexpected performances.

However, the rebel generals are all temporary, and their military capabilities are usually not very good. Most of the time, they were suppressed before they had time to learn in actual combat.

Occasionally, a few outstanding military talents emerged, but they were also labeled as "despicable", "shameless"... and were nailed to the pillar of historical shame and despised by the world. No one recorded the specific deeds.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, this is really bullying! He also said that he is taking care of us. According to this kind of care, our previous sacrifices will be in vain..."

Baron MacNamee's words were just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the heads of the regiments expressed their opinions and denounced the unscrupulous decision of the Governor's Palace.

Although the Fifth Army had made great contributions in previous battles, it was ultimately unable to retain the leader of the rebels.

Based on this small amount of credit, it is shared by everyone. It is obviously unconvincing to want to carve up the unclaimed territory after the war.

Compared to other nobles, the Fifth Army actually had the upper hand. The most correct operation now is to continue fighting with the main force and continue to maintain this advantage.

Even if it doesn't play a decisive role in the next battle, if you just follow it and take credit, you can still compete after the war.

The mission of escorting grain and grass seemed to be to take care of the Fifth Army, but in fact it was to exclude everyone from the carve-up feast. It is no wonder that everyone's backlash was so fierce.

After waving his hand to stop the quarrel, Chelsea sighed and said: "I know these problems too, but now the second, third, and fourth armies are jealous of our military exploits and have united to exclude us.

But among the five armies, our fifth army is at the bottom in terms of strength. The hard work of transporting grain and grass naturally fell on us.

But don’t worry, everyone, I have already fought for it from the Governor. He promised that after delivering the food and fodder, he would let us join the war. "

Upon hearing this explanation, Hudson simply rolled his eyes. He didn't believe Chelsea didn't notice such a simple sowing discord.

Without Earl Pierce's acquiescence, how could the Fifth Army be sidelined simply by ostracizing them?

But knowing is one thing, but this is a conspiracy. Governor Pierce used the fiefdom as a raft, which aroused everyone's greed and jealousy, and it was logical to divide the aristocratic coalition.

Maybe the legion commander in front of him, who shares the same hatred as everyone else, has been secretly bribed by Count Pierce. After all, it is much easier to bribe an individual than a group.

It’s useless even if you understand it. The general trend is such that it cannot be controlled by a small person like Hudson. The smartest thing to do now is to pretend to be confused and wait for the situation to develop.

Even when escorting grain and grass, the tenth regiment with the largest number of people still had an advantage over the other regiments. If someone wants to make trouble, it will be someone else who makes trouble first, so he can calm down.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, can you believe this kind of nonsense?

The rebels have already lost their troops under the Essel Fortress. No matter how worthless the cannon fodder is, it will take time to regroup.

Although the Blood Moon Horn is powerful, there are also many restrictions on its use. What's more, the evil weapon has been sealed for more than three hundred years. Without the sacrifices of 1.8 million living beings, it will not be able to recover at all.

As long as they move fast enough, the rebels won't have time to make a comeback. The temporarily formed team may not be able to withstand a charge from the coalition forces.

Those rats from Skull and Bones are all cowards. Once you sense something is wrong, you will immediately run away thousands of miles away, making it difficult to detect.

Even if Earl Pierce fulfills his promise, there must be enemies on the battlefield for us to kill! "

It was Baron Blodgett who spoke to retort. From his eyes, Hudson saw unwillingness and anger.
