King

Luoye Town

After a struggle, it finally ended with the collapse of the rebels. The Chelsea knight was not happy at all after recovering a large town.

It was so clean, not to mention the gold and silver treasures, even the granary was set on fire by the rebels.

If they hadn't reacted quickly enough and grabbed a batch of unburned food from the fire in time, their work would have been in vain.

Obviously, the rebels had been prepared for this. They knew Luoye couldn't defend it and transferred supplies in advance.

Glancing at the townspeople who were kneeling to greet him, Chelsea was forced to give up his thoughts of robbery. There is no way. The group of people in front of me are old and young, and I really can't do anything.

Of course, the most important thing is that the people in front of them are too poor and can't make any money. Even if they are taken out and sold as slaves, they are all goods that no one cares about.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, the rebels are obviously well prepared. What should we do now?"

Baron Machel asked bitterly.

After taking such a big risk to rob, they harvested a lot of food, making it seem like everyone was short of food.

It’s not a wild land in the northwest. As the lords and nobles of the southeastern province of the “Kingdom’s Granary”, who doesn’t have a few warehouses to store grain?

To put it bluntly, even if there is no harvest for two or three years, no one will suffer from famine.

That's it for other times, but this time they took the risk of sneaking out to rob. Carrying this pile of food on the road still has a lot of mobility.

Frowning his brows, Chelsea said with a gloomy face: "With so much food, we definitely can't take it away. For the sake of the Lord of the Morning, we might as well do a good deed and leave it to them.

It is now only five days before the battle of Ethel Fortress. Even if the rebels were prepared, they would not be able to transfer all the supplies to their lair so quickly.

Continue to the next stop. If there is nothing to gain, then chase in the direction of Dadir City. Even if there is no harvest, we can still go there in time to join the grain transport team. "

Without much hesitation, everyone agreed. You've come, you can't go in vain. If we don't grab something and go back, everyone will have no idea.

After a short rest, the Fifth Army hit the road again. It can be said that "it comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry. Wave your sleeves and don't take away a piece of bread."

Seeing the noble men leaving, the people who had lost their restraint suddenly became energetic and joined the team to grab food.

A hungry old man grabbed a handful of roasted rye and stuffed it into his mouth, and then started foaming at the mouth.

This was just the beginning. The people who had eaten these foods fell to the ground one after another.

"The food is poisonous!"

…

Perhaps his luck had run out. As soon as Hudson ordered the camp to be set up and the pots made to cook, he saw the gryphon cavalry hovering at low altitude above the camp.

Intuition told Hudson that the Fifth Army had gone out to rob and had now been involved in the gang.

There was no way, even though he tried his best to help cover it up, he was still exposed.

In order to buy enough time for the allies to rob, and for the safety of the grain transport team, Hudson deliberately suppressed the marching speed.

We march every morning and set up camp at noon. Half of the afternoon was spent on queue training and the other half on ideological work. The entire day is fully scheduled, leaving no time for random thoughts.

Hudson had calculated that at the current speed of twenty miles a day, it would only take six days to reach Dadir City, which would be enough to ensure the supply of food and grass for the main force.

It’s totally hello, me, and everyone. Unexpectedly, Earl Pierce had a seizure in his head and suddenly sent a knight over to urge the Fifth Army to speed up its march.

The regiment commander was not there, so it was inevitable that Hudson would be the one to receive them. Although he made up an excuse that he thought was perfect, he met a nobleman along the way and everyone knew that something was wrong.

If nothing else, the gryphon cavalry in front of me is the result of the knight going back to report yesterday.

At a height of less than ten meters, even the worst archer can shoot him an arrow. After hesitating for a while, Hudson finally gave up on the idea of ​​killing people and silencing them.

It was too difficult to keep it secret in front of so many people. The rebels don't have gryphon cavalry, so no one would believe it if they were accidentally injured!

For nobles, deceiving superiors and concealing inferiors is just a basic operation. Even if things go wrong, everyone in the Fifth Army will bear the responsibility.

The law does not hold the public accountable, and even if Count Pierce wanted to enforce military law, he could not proceed.

Don't look at the stalemate between several legion commanders because of profit. If Earl Pierce really wanted to deal a cruel blow to the nobles of the Fifth Army, they would immediately turn their guns.

In the world of aristocrats, there are only pros and cons, not right and wrong. The small and medium-sized nobles are dependent on the big nobles, and at the same time join forces to fight against the big nobles. This is not only a political balance, but also the way for everyone to survive.

This point also applies looking up. The great nobles were attached to the kingdom and at the same time joined forces to fight against the king, which was also a political balance of the kingdom.

In Hudson's view, the kingdoms in the Aslant continent are just companies, and the nobles and kings in them are shareholders.

The difference is limited to the amount of equity. In essence, everyone is the owner of the company. For the sake of interests, it is necessary to quarrel and argue.

Major shareholders have more shares and have more say, but the combined shares of small and medium shareholders far exceed those of major shareholders, which is enough to negate the resolution of major shareholders.

There is a certain gap in status between everyone, but essentially they still have the right to have equal dialogue.

Not even a king could execute a nobleman for no reason. Even if a noble commits a serious crime, it must be determined by the Parliament of Nobles before he can be executed.

Of course, these are all on the surface. No one can guarantee what happens behind the scenes.

Theoretically, anyone who disobeys military orders on the battlefield can be directly executed. In actual operation, you will find that this is not the case at all.

As long as the mistake you make is not a principled mistake and you are not a failure as a person, a large number of relatives and friends will jump out to plead for mercy.

Especially these group violations of military orders, as long as they do not cause catastrophic consequences, they will eventually be reduced to trivial matters.

Compared with violating military orders, the consequences of killing Count Pierce's gryphon cavalry would be more serious. The former is a business matter, but the latter involves personal grudges.

After watching the Griffin Cavalry leave, Hudson had already begun to think about the aftermath. It was obviously too late to notify his allies to come back, not to mention he didn't know the specific target of the robbing army.

Sighing helplessly, Hudson finally decided to lie down. Love as he pleases, there is nothing he can do now anyway.

Even if Earl Pierce pursues responsibility, it has little to do with him. At best, they just failed to report what they knew, which is not worth mentioning compared with violating military orders.

As for others, they can only hope for their own good. We are all adults and should be prepared to be exposed from the moment we make the decision to rob.
