King

A raging fire ignited, and thousands of corpses were thrown into the flames. Hudson, who thought he was hard-hearted, couldn't help but feel sad secretly.

Although the battle was a complete victory during the day, the price paid was also very heavy. Two hundred new wounded were added, and more than 700 people died in the flames.

Just by besieging the five silver skeletons, more than three hundred people were killed. Had Hudson not reacted quickly enough and made full use of his knowledge of physics, the loss would have been even greater.

Although they seemed to have won, the grain transport team was actually severely damaged. If the number of rebels and defenders is equal, the outcome of this war is really difficult to say.

It's not that they can't defeat the rebels, it's mainly because they still shoulder the important task of transporting food and grass. Compared with victory or defeat on the battlefield, successfully transporting food and grass to the destination is the core of this mission.

If it weren't for the heavy baggage and being like novices pecking each other with the rebels on the battlefield, Hudson would still be confident.

Everything stems from the "superior" command ability of the rebels. I originally thought that the noble knight's stupid charge was stupid enough, but I didn't expect that the rebel coach's commanding ability was only half as good.

Although the rebel coach has no bottom line or principles and can do anything, he really can't do anything with his military qualities.

From this perspective, the aristocratic ruling group's knowledge blockade and "values" guidance of the people at the bottom are both successful.

Even though the rebel organization has existed for countless years, under the illusion of "strength first", it still neglects the cultivation of military talents.

The priests were just good priests, but they thought they were smart and went to command the army in battle. Relying on secret techniques and potions, it is okay to bully the equally ignorant lower-level nobles. However, when encountering an opponent with slightly stronger military capabilities, his true colors will be revealed in an instant.

Theoretically speaking, it is completely strategically correct to come out to rob food and grass this time. But when it came to the specific implementation of tactics, it was a complete mess.

Insufficient preparation in advance and lack of sufficient military common sense resulted in the plan being exposed early. The ambush that should have taken the initiative turned into a passive attack.

Vaguely, with a glimpse of the nature of the world, Hudson had begun to observe a moment of silence for the Skull and Bones Society.

Not to mention being trapped in a huge pit, I was also deceived, and I still fantasized about making a comeback. It was just a dream.

Frankly speaking, Hudson never understood what Skull and Bones wanted?

If you are engaged in the business of rebellion, let alone something as lofty as a political program, you must at least have the support of an interest group, or represent the interests of a group.

According to the Skull and Bones Society, they regard nobles as enemies, serfs as insignificant, and merchants as blood bags... It can be said that they have offended all groups since the beginning of the army.

Calling them rebels is a compliment. An organization that opposes all normal people, the Skull and Bones Society fully deserves its name as a cult.

Compared to actual losses, results are much more casual. Hudson didn't bother to count the specific results, so he just made a rough estimate based on the situation on the battlefield.

"Destroyed 4,000 elite rebels, annihilated 2,570 rebels, killed 81 rebel leaders, eliminated five silver skeleton undead, and seized various strategic materials."

There is no way, there are still gryphon cavalry watching from the sky! The record is too exaggerated, and it is really easy to cheat.

However, it is impossible not to exaggerate the achievements. The credit for counterinsurgency is at the bottom among all military achievements in the kingdom.

If we did not exaggerate the enemy's strength and falsely report military exploits, who would have known how difficult this war would be, and who would have remembered the contribution of the Hudson Knights?

In order to enhance his persuasion, Hudson used strong words to emphasize the importance of preserving food and supplies, directly raising this small-scale war to a strategic level.

It's uncertain how useful it will be. Anyway, taking advantage of the opportunity to report battle damage, Hudson legally lost a lot of supplies in this wave.

He couldn't eat the floating supplies himself, so most of them had to be taken out for storage.

What is false will never be true. If someone were to be more truthful, Hudson's battle report would be full of loopholes. If the relationship above is not smoothed out, the enlarged version of the military exploits will not be realized.

With this military achievement, coupled with the previous battle of Ethel Fortress, when the spoils were divided after the war, Hudson would probably be able to get a piece of territory.

As for the size and quality of the territory, it will test the Koslow family's personal network in the southeastern province.

When things have reached this point, it is no longer just short-term management by Hudson that can work.

All he can do is to manage the relationship between all parties. He doesn't expect everyone to help, as long as they don't cause trouble. In the end, he will inevitably have to fight for the family's strength.

…

At the coalition headquarters, Earl Pierce, who had just defeated a rebel sneak attack, was like riding a roller coaster.

The Skull and Bones Society did not follow the routine. Not only did they conduct sneak attacks on the march, they even sent troops to sneak attack the food transport team.

Fortunately, the little guy named Hudson still had some skills and shattered the rebels' sneak attack plan. Otherwise, he would have to lead the large army back home in despair.

Thinking of this, his resentment towards the Fifth Army suddenly rose again. He didn't escort the food and fodder properly, but went to rob him privately. He didn't take him seriously at all.

Angry as hell, he really couldn't do anything against these daring guys now. Since leaving the main force, these guys disappeared from his sight.

The area of ​​the two counties is not small. If a small group of several hundred people wanted to hide, even the gryphon cavalry would not be able to find it easily.

What's more, the number of griffin cavalry is limited. They must first monitor the movements of the rebels, and there is no time to find them.

No one can be contacted, so there is no way to hold people accountable. If you want to settle accounts, you have to wait until someone comes back.

Not only was the Fifth Army acting against the will, but even the nobles under his nose were also not at ease.

The gryphon cavalry responsible for the investigation reported to him more than once that someone had left the main force to engage in private activities. Perhaps because she was under his nose, she behaved a little more restrained, and always went back quickly every time.

In view of the fact that no one has caused trouble, for the sake of the overall situation, Earl Pierce also turned a blind eye and closed one eye.

No action was taken, but the account was still kept in his mind. Pierce knew clearly which nobles were keeping their peace and which nobles were acting recklessly.

"snort!"

After giving a cold shout, Earl Pierce looked at the moon outside the window and said to himself: "It seems that I am still too kind to them, so that these guys have forgotten everything now.

As long as I don’t care about them, I really think there’s nothing I can do about not coming to them. It seems that it is time to let them know who is the real master of the Southeast Province.

If we weren’t worried about being feared by that guy in the royal capital, my Dalton family would have belonged to the Southeast Province..."
