King

With the launch of the Blood Moon Defense Line plan, Blood Moon County, a place with little presence in the southeastern province, suddenly became the "number one" strategic location.

The plans in the royal capital are ultimately just ideas on paper. When it comes to concrete implementation, on-site exploration still needs to be carried out.

At this moment, Governor Pierce is bringing a group of nobles from the province to the scene for an on-site inspection. Basically, all the nobles who can move are here today.

Unlike the defense lines of other provinces, which require help from other provinces to build, the Blood Moon defense line planned by the southeastern province has all the funds required by itself.

The corresponding autonomy is also the highest. Whether it is the location of the defense line or the construction design, it is all decided by the Southeast Province itself.

You can never be too prudent in spending your own money to protect your own territory.

A dragon roar came, and everyone's eyes were attracted. Although it was not the first time for everyone to see it, the shocking appearance of the dragon still caused a sensation.

Governor Pierce frowned slightly, and when he was about to say something, he swallowed it back.

The Dragon Knight's cards are so big, it cannot be compared with other World of Warcraft. Even if the strength is not weaker than the dragon, the influence it brings is far less than that of the dragon.

There is a giant dragon to help him expand his influence, so he doesn't use it in vain. It seems like he is showing off, but in fact he is instilling in everyone’s mind the concept that Mr. Hudson is very powerful.

Keeping a low profile is the way of old aristocrats. Emerging nobles must show their talents and continuously spread their influence in order to recruit talents.

What's more, as a Dragon Knight, Hudson has already become famous in the mainland. He is the center of attention wherever he goes and cannot keep a low profile at all.

"Everyone is here, let's start!"

After speaking, Governor Pierce followed the guide and walked directly to the front of the team, showing with practical actions that he was the boss of the Southeast Province.

Seeing this scene, Hudson just smiled lightly and had no intention of competing with him.

Although being the boss can get the biggest piece of cake, you also have to bear corresponding responsibilities, and messy chores are definitely inevitable.

Presiding over the construction of the Blood Moon Defense Line seems to be a high-ranking position with abundant oil and water, but it is related to the life and death of the Dalton family. Does Governor Pierce dare to interfere with this?

The entire southeastern province is a flat plain, and the only thing that can barely be considered a natural hazard is the Salam Mountains in the Hudson territory.

If the Hessians really invaded, the Koslow family could abandon Wright County and retreat to the swamps behind the Salam Mountains to continue holding on, while the Dalton family would be left with only a bunch of castles on the plains.

It was too late for Hudson to be happy when someone helped him to work for free, so how could he jump out and compete for this hard job.

Looking along the Blackstone Mountains, Hudson's expression gradually became serious. The terrain in this area was not as dangerous as he imagined.

I originally thought that I could use the terrain to build a fortress on the edge of the Blackstone Mountains, but when I got there I realized that this was just a dream.

The mountains on both sides were very steep, but the forest in the narrowest area in the middle suddenly became low, looking like a corridor sandwiched between the mountains.

It's just that this corridor is a bit special, with a length and width of nearly a hundred kilometers. With a little modification, it becomes a square.

It’s hard to say that it’s a flat plain, but the terrain of the “square” in the middle has a very limited slope.

No wonder the proposal to build the Blood Moon Defense Line went so smoothly. Governor Pierce had long known that the terrain here was flat and could be passed by the army. Fortresses must be built to block the enemy's advance.

"Your Majesty the Governor, at least three lines of defense must be prepared here. In addition to the frontal defense line, the defenses on the two wings and back must also be strengthened.

The Warcraft Legion of the Hessian Kingdom has been established, and there are thousands of Warcraft Knights in the standing army alone. If you add the noble private army, the number can be increased several times.

If a war breaks out, and the enemy gathers thousands of Warcraft knights to borrow a road from the Blackstone Mountains and attack us in a roundabout way from different directions, it is completely feasible militarily.

In addition to the defense line, beacon towers must also be erected along the Blackstone Mountains to guard against enemy sneak attacks. "

Hudson said with a serious face.

If the Blood Moon Defense Line was proposed before, it was just to buy time for peaceful development for oneself, but now it is really to prevent the enemy from invading from here.

"Caillot, recorded all Earl Hudson's opinions and listed them as a necessary condition for later construction."

Governor Pierce ordered readily.

It was related to the safety of his own family, and he didn't dare to act arrogantly on it. If you don't think it through comprehensively and something goes wrong later, it could be fatal.

Hudson made a good start, and more nobles subsequently expressed their opinions. Governor Pierce always ordered Viscount Caillaux to record it.

The only difference is that any opinion put forward by Hudson is directly included in the necessary elements for later implementation; while other people's suggestions need to be discussed later.

There was an obvious difference in treatment, but no one raised any objection, as if everything was taken for granted.

From the expressions of everyone, Hudson also discovered that everyone wanted him to put forward 180 opinions at once and plug all the loopholes in the defense line.

Even if there were disagreements, it was ultimately implemented in accordance with Hudson's opinions, and there was not even a decent debate.

The nobles of the Southeast Province had more confidence in him than Hudson himself had in himself, almost reaching the point of blind obedience.

Of course, it is also possible that these nobles who came off the battlefield were too self-aware and had no confidence in their own abilities, so they placed their hopes on the "famous general" Hudson.

Since everyone trusts him so much, Hudson will naturally not be a cheat. He doesn't care how the construction is carried out, he just needs to make the request.

If the serfs are unable to complete the project, let the knights and magicians do it. Although it is not in line with everyone's noble status, this is also an old tradition of the Alpha Kingdom.

In the construction of a series of important defense lines in the North, many nobles personally participated. Some are unable to reach the technical level and must use extraordinary means; some are just in a hurry.

After struggling for more than half a month, a preliminary plan for building the defense line finally appeared in front of everyone.

If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was copying the Blood Moon Castle defense line in Northern Xinjiang.

Whether it is the construction specifications of the defense line or the technical standards, the two can only be said to be exactly the same. The only difference is that the Blood Moon defense line in the southeastern province is much shorter than the Blood Moon Castle defense line in the northern Xinjiang.

There is no way. The two blood moon defense lines, one in the south and one in the north, were planned according to Master Hudson's will. It is difficult to imagine them.

It is worth mentioning that the Blood Moon defense line in Northern Xinjiang is in ruins. Without the threat of the orcs, the impoverished Alpha Kingdom has no motivation to continue investing huge sums of money in construction.

…

In the winter of 99991, the Alpha Kingdom was bustling with activity. Nobles everywhere are either building defense lines or training troops in their territories, or even doing both at the same time.

Facts have proven that people’s potential is forced out. As long as the noble men are determined to do it, the burst of energy will be amazing.

In addition to being more frugal in daily expenses, everyone still lived their lives as usual, only at the expense of the serfs below.

I thought I could take a break in the winter, but I didn't expect that my noble master would be busy, either sending them to the construction site or dragging everyone to conduct military training.

While everyone was working hard, the international situation suddenly took a shocking turn. The Alpha Kingdom and the Hessian Kingdom, which had a strong smell of gunpowder and were ready to fight at any time, suddenly stood together.

The foreign ministries of the two countries jointly announced that the latest investigation report on the assassination of Prince Claude points directly at the Countess of Corubia.

Looking at the diplomatic note in his hand, Louis Vuitton III was completely stunned. After confirming the above content with the envoy again and again, he fainted on the spot.

Not only the monarch fainted, but most of the princes and ministers present also fainted.

The few people who were awake were all frightened. In panic, I didn't know how to respond.

As a small country, the Count of Kolubia was able to become independent and continue its inheritance to this day after the split of the Empire of Light. Naturally, it is unique.

Being able to be independent in the early years was because our ancestors were able to fight.

When the Empire of Light collapsed, Earl Kolubia was also one of the princes, and he was still a relatively powerful prince.

Unfortunately, the political response was slow. By the time he realized that the empire's division was inevitable, his neighbors had all completed the first round of unity.

The proud and arrogant Earl of Corubia was not willing to be subordinate to others. When the split occurred, he simply became independent and played on his own.

There are many independent small countries, and the County of Kolubia is inconspicuous among them. In addition, the Aslant continent in those days paid more attention to rules than it does now. Even if a war started, everyone would only use the same force, and would not rely on more soldiers to bully others.

With the considerable family strength, Count Kolubia also made a name for himself in the duel, and the Count of Kolubia was successfully established.

Later, the orc invasion war broke out, and some small countries that realized that they could not protect themselves began to merge, and the Kingdom of Alpha, the Principality of Moxi, and the Warhammer Kingdom appeared one after another...

The Count of Kolubia was also invited, but he refused, and the history of the Count of Kolubia began.

As time goes by, everyone's bottom line continues to be lowered, and life for the County of Kolubia, sandwiched between the two big countries, is not so easy.

Fortunately, they are good at sizing up situations. When the Alpha Kingdom was strong, it relied on the Alpha Kingdom; when the Hessian Kingdom was strong, it followed the Hessian Kingdom.

While swinging from side to side, they are also very good at being human. Gifts are constantly sent out all year round, and we have good relations with the dignitaries of both countries.

It's a pity that no matter how good the relationship is, it can't resist the temptation of interests. The sudden diplomatic note almost announced the end of the Count of Kolubia.

"Manipulating the cult of the July Society, sending people to assassinate Prince Claude, in an attempt to provoke a war between the Alpha Kingdom and the Hessian Kingdom." Such a crime was really not something that the Count of Kolubia could bear.

Hand over the murderer?

But the problem is that they need a murderer first!

He didn't do anything, he didn't know anything, and the blame was thrown directly at him without even a chance to explain. It was obviously for the foundation of the Count of Kolubia.

Late at night, Louis Vuitton III woke up from a coma, looked at the retainers guarding his bed and said slowly: "Judging from the contents of the note, the Hessians and the Alpha Kingdom have reached an agreement.

Bo Guo will probably not be able to survive this calamity.

Baron Edmonton, you immediately select three hundred elite soldiers to escort the prince and princess to the Kingdom of Iberia..."

"Your Highness, we did not do this. The Kingdom of Hesse and the Kingdom of Alpha want to send people over to investigate, so let them investigate!

We can invite ministers from various countries in the mainland to supervise together. In front of everyone, they can't fabricate evidence out of thin air and frame us! "

Edmonton said angrily.

It's really such a bully. They didn't do anything, but a scapegoat fell from the sky.

"Hmph, evidence!

The current continent is no longer the continent it once was. From the moment we received this note, the charges have been proven.

If they say we did it, then we did it. If everyone cooperates and performs the trick together, a bit of dignity can still be left.

If we pierce the window paper and tear off their disguise, I am afraid that not even the last bit of dignity will be left to us.

Don’t worry, what they want is the County of Kolubia. No matter how many accusations are placed on me, they won't hurt me at all.

Not many people dare to bear the charge of regicide!

Okay, Edmonton. You immediately take people to escort the prince and princess away, and come back after the storm is over.

If nothing else happens, the royal family should be able to leave a small fiefdom to show their..."
