King

After beating the generals, while the nobles were still on their way to the royal capital, Hudson took the time to return to the mountain territory on the pretext of arranging territorial affairs.

There is no doubt that handling territorial affairs is a fake, and the real purpose is to recover the ghost ship.

The Kingdom released news to the outside world to encircle and suppress the ghost ship. This was not to fool people, but to actually take action.

The great nobles of several coastal provinces joined forces to form a crusade fleet. If Hudson hadn't been handling military affairs in the royal capital, he would probably have been a member of the coalition.

In the absence of his dragon knight, the Koslow family, which does not even have a naval fleet, is naturally not qualified to participate in this kind of public welfare game.

As far as Hudson knew, the dark masters in the kingdom had already rushed over, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.

There are not many dark-type eighth-level experts among the major forces, but there are many fifth-, sixth- and seventh-level masters.

A rare encounter with an eighth-level ghost ship is a risk for ordinary people, but for these dark powerhouses, it is a rare opportunity.

Even if they don't have a share in the core of the ghost ship, the soul beads that remain after the ghost is destroyed are still a great supplement.

Greed is the original sin. When the benefits are great to a certain extent, people will ignore the risks. Dark practitioners are particularly persistent in this regard, and taking risks in pursuit of power is nothing at all.

Counting the days, it’s time for the coalition forces to take action. If it drags on any longer, when the news spreads, dark powerhouses from all over the continent will swarm here.

No one would give up the opportunity to break through the sanctuary. There will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers, and the best option is to take action before everyone arrives and grab the core.

No matter whether you can successfully break through the holy realm, as long as you use the things, the trouble will be gone.

It's a pity that despite all their calculations, they never thought that Hudson, an unrelated dragon knight, would also be cut off.

While everyone was busy looking for the ghost ship, Hudson had already found the target first under the guidance of the ghost slave in his hand.

The strongest fortresses are broken from within. Relying on the guidance of the ghost spy in his hand, Hudson successfully defeated the two ghost kings.

Although the remaining ghost king put up a resistance, facing the attack from the dragon and the bear, he simply couldn't deal with the waves.

After the coercion and inducement failed, the three ghost kings were finally forced to sign a slave contract. Of course, the signing was not for Hudson, but for Bear Stearns and Maxim.

Rough methods will inevitably have backlash, but given the absolute power gap, even if the three ghost kings want to rebel, they will have to wait until they break through the sanctuary.

It's not that Hudson looked down upon them, it was just that the promotion of these alien beings was too bumpy. Throughout the entire history of the human race, there have been only a handful of scenes where sanctuary-class ghost ships have appeared.

Even if they could break through the sanctuary, Bear Stearns and Maxim, who were more talented, would not wait for them where they were. It would be almost impossible to surpass them.

Controlling the Ghost King is equivalent to controlling the Ghost Ship. Instead of letting them continue to operate outside, they were ordered to go to the foggy sea.

After causing such a big disturbance, it was time to avoid the limelight.

No matter how powerful the encirclement and suppression fleet is, it will still be blinded when facing the vast fog. Just in time, you can still watch Poison Dragon Island and not give any fish that slip through the net a chance to leave.

…

In the lord's mansion, little Franz, who is more than one year old, is already able to climb around with small steps.

For the safety of his son, many dangerous facilities in the Lord's Mansion have been specially treated.

Temporary guardrails were added to the pond, water chestnuts were removed from the rockery, and covers were added to the wells...

The degree of caution was so high that Hudson was speechless. You must know that since the little one was born, maids have been taking care of him day and night.

If an accident could happen, it would make him look like a useless person.

Since ancient times, when the head of the family was strong, accidents rarely happened to the descendants. Many heirs died in infancy, mostly due to internal strife in the family, and only a few were due to congenital deficiencies.

Hudson's status is at its peak, and all branches are very peaceful. The Koslow family has not yet developed to the point where it requires internal fighting in the back house.

Considering that he had no experience raising children for the first time, he simply let Melissa do whatever she wanted.

It is said that this is the experience provided by Mr. Redman, but Hudson is certain that his brothers definitely did not receive this kind of treatment when they were growing up.

If Franz hadn't been still young, Hudson would have removed the maids around him, and a group of maids would follow him every day. Wouldn't it be a tragedy if he was trained to become Jia Baoyu?

However, this kind of good life is destined to be short-lived.

Generally speaking, children of great nobles need to be able to read and write at the age of three, and undergo basic knight training from the age of five.

Archery, horseback riding, aristocratic etiquette, dealing with people, humanities and history... By this age, they all have to be arranged, and when you get older, you will have to be exposed to politics.

Relatively speaking, the children of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom have to learn slightly less, and the children of the great nobles in the central and southern regions also need to learn art.

"Hudson, you will be stationed in the Royal Capital next. Do you want to take me and Franz with you?"

Facing Melissa's resentful look, Hudson didn't know how to answer for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he said slowly:

“The next royal capital will be a gathering place for the wind and cloud, and I’m afraid it will be hard to find peace.

If the situation worsens and the mountain territory is geographically remote, we can still remain in seclusion. "

They are all sincere, and Hudson has no confidence in winning this war. In essence, whether the Alpha Kingdom can win or not depends on the choice of the elves.

If they devote all their strength to the war, the countries along the way will not be able to stop them. Even the Alpha Kingdom at its peak will not be able to stop the three-front war.

To be precise, no force on the mainland can withstand the joint siege of the elves, orcs, and ancient relics.

The strategy that Hudson formulated for the kingdom was entirely based on the enemy coming one by one.

It seems to be a desperate battle, but in fact it is more of an international game, and the bet is that the elves are not determined to destroy the Alpha Kingdom at any cost.

"The situation is so serious, isn't it said outside..."

Halfway through her words, Melissa suddenly swallowed it back. She obviously trusts Hudson's judgment more than outside rumors.

She had been pregnant for three years, and since the birth of little Franz, most of her energy had been focused on her son, and she had rarely cared about political issues.

In addition, the mountain territory was far away from the political center, and all the energy in the lord's house was focused on farming, and there was no time to care about the international political situation.

In fact, this is also the limitation of talent origin.

The people currently serving in the Mountain Territory are all descendants of minor nobles. They have developed their abilities through acquired training, but their vision and thinking have not changed.

The politics in the eyes of the small nobles is the one-third of an acre of land at their doorstep. Basically, it only reaches the county level. If you can consider the province, you have a vision.

When "international politics" reaches their ears, it is all hearsay, which is far from the truth and simply out of reach.

The long-term habit of subconsciously believing that international politics has nothing to do with oneself determines that everyone prefers to talk about things around them.

Hudson is also happy to see this situation happen.

As for my subordinates, it is better to be a worker with peace of mind than anything else. If you think about too many things, you will not be able to retain people.

Regardless of the big cakes he usually gives everyone, if someone really wants to go out and start his own business, Mr. Hudson will also feel uncomfortable.

It is not easy to cultivate a talent. If everyone is restless, does not want to shine for the construction of the territory, and runs out to start a business, who will do the work for him?

If they really broaden their horizons, the children of the nobles will find that if they want to make great achievements and hang out with the big nobles, it is far less cost-effective than going to the king.

Judging from the current situation, even if you go to the north to work hard, you will have more development prospects than staying in the mountains to farm.

Of course, the risks and benefits are equal. The north has more opportunities, but also faces higher risks.

Theoretically, civilians have the opportunity to rise to power, but that's just a theory.

At other times, Hudson did not know that during the last orc invasion, the kingdom mobilized more than two million people, and in the end, only seven civilians became nobles.

What's embarrassing is that these seven role models carefully set up by the kingdom are either distant relatives of minor nobles or descendants of declining nobles.

As the coach of the army, Hudson can guarantee that no one will cheat.

In fact, these seven lucky people want to operate but do not have enough connections to operate.

In essence, these seven lucky people are just grassroots. Apart from reading a few books from their fathers and having a little knowledge, they are no different from ordinary people. They have not even completed the basic training of knights.

The probability of success is so low entirely due to the imbalance of power, information, and resources in hand.

There is a huge gap between leading a private army to the battlefield to seek military glory, and being a solitary man using weapons issued by the kingdom as cannon fodder.

The most reliable way is to follow a certain big noble for several generations, accumulate enough connections and resources, get a noble title, and then seek a fief.

This is the route planned by the great nobles for ordinary people. It seems simple and clear, but in fact it is a big pie that can be seen but cannot be touched.

The transition time is so long, and the children of the next generation will either not go to school, or they will be brainwashed as long as they go to the hall arranged by the noble master.

Including Hudson himself, it would have been difficult to cross the initial threshold if he had not started with 500 private troops.

The more cruel the truth is, the more we need to draw a picture to let everyone see that there is hope for the future.

The conscientious Mr. Hudson has promised everyone that as long as he "performs well" at work, he will definitely be treated like an aristocrat before retiring.

Of course, this is only a virtual title, and not every manager has it.

If you want to obtain a fief, you must make great achievements. There is no specific standard yet, but it will definitely not be low anyway. Who wants to take meat from the lord’s own territory?

In order to stabilize people's hearts, we should not let people's minds become too active.

Otherwise, if we hear that so-and-so received a title today, and hear that so-and-so became a noble the next day, it would be difficult for everyone to work with peace of mind.

After all, no matter how low the probability is, when the base is large enough, there will be no shortage of winners.

Most of the management in the mountainous areas have some basic skills, and the starting conditions are much better than those at the grassroots level.

If you experience too many success messages, it is easy to have the illusion that you can do whatever you want.

This was completely contrary to the policy that Hudson was about to pursue in the kingdom's standing army.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of ordinary soldiers for combat, even if there are no grassroots heroes, he will artificially create a few lucky ones.

If a few are not enough stimulation, then use dozens or hundreds, so that role models will continue to appear around everyone.

Anyway, this is paid for by the kingdom, and there is no need to cut off the meat from its own territory. It doesn't hurt to have a bunch of more small nobles. The only thing they want is quick success and quick profit.

A change of thought by a big shot often means a change in fate for ordinary people.

For a moment, Hudson seemed to realize something, and his whole person was immersed in it, but this state was fleeting.

But from the envious eyes of the dragon and the bear beside him, he knew that this must be something extraordinary. It's a pity that the current level of cultivation is too shallow to grasp such lofty things.

"Hudson, what happened just now? Why did Bear Stearns suddenly release the protective barrier and even I was blocked outside?"

Melissa asked concerned.

"You can rest assured that you have gained a little understanding of your cultivation. This is a good thing."

While speaking, Hudson also gave Bear Stearns an approving look.

The discerning Warcraft is different. If someone interrupts him and misses this opportunity, Hudson will regret it to death.

It seemed that the realization time only lasted less than a quarter of an hour, but his intuition told him that just this moment helped him save a lot of practice time.

"Dragon God, this is unreasonable!

A sixth-level great mage has actually begun to understand the law. Human beings are so talented, how can they let dragons live? "

Maxim sighed with a depressed look.

It can be seen from his expression that he is very unhappy now.

Starting to understand the rules, even just a little bit, means that Hudson has a high probability of breaking through the sanctuary.

The life of a working dragon will be extended.

He originally thought that after completing his contractual obligations one hundred and eighty years later, he could live the life of a free dragon again, but now it seems that he thought too simply.

There was no time to pay attention to Maxim's thoughts. At this moment, Hudson only had two words "law" in his mind.

Unlike the innate races such as giant dragons, their innate magical powers have their own laws, and they can easily break through the holy realm after they reach adulthood.

If humans want to break through the holy realm, they need to understand the laws on their own. No one can say exactly how to understand it or how much it needs to be understood.

Being able to know the "law" is the result of Hudson's erudition.

The growth route of each Saint Realm powerhouse is different, and the laws they understand are also different. If you insist on summarizing experience, it is due to talent.

All the information in Hudson's hands, the specific description of the law, is very vague.

At first, he thought that someone was deliberately hiding it, but now it seemed that those powerful men in the holy realm were in a similar state to him, and he didn't even know what he had understood.

If we could figure it out, we might reach a higher level.

"Bear Stearns, Maxim, how much do you know about the laws?"

Human beings have a limited lifespan, and it is difficult to break through the holy realm, and the probability of entering a higher level is even lower.

In comparison, these long-lived races are more dominant and have a long time to study slowly.

"Let me tell you, there are many types of laws, the main ones are: earth, fire, wind, water, light, darkness, and thunder, and they are also the easiest to understand.

Relatively few people understand the six laws of destiny, destruction, death, life, time, and space.

There are also some special ones such as: Dragon Law, Bloodline Law... they are all present at birth, and basically have nothing to do with you humans.

No matter what the cultivation system is, if you want to break through the holy realm, you must understand the rules.

You should study the specific breakdown of the rules after entering the sanctuary!

The realization just now was purely an accident. Don't regard accident as ability. There is no benefit in knowing too much now.

If you are not in a state of mind, it is easy to interpret random thoughts as laws and go astray without paying attention. "

Bear Stearns sounded like someone who had been there before, leaving Hudson speechless. I obviously grew up with my bloodline talent, but I still act like I have a lot of experience.

However, Bear Stearns also has reasons for arrogance. It is true that the Sanctuary Warcraft will have the strength of the Sanctuary when it reaches adulthood, but the specific time is uncertain.

Some holy monsters already have the strength of the holy realm when they reach adulthood; some holy monsters still need a certain amount of time to digest their realm after they reach adulthood.

Before digestion and absorption, they can only be regarded as pseudo-sanctuaries.

The same problem also exists among the dragon clan. After all, no matter how talented a race is, there will inevitably be a few losers.

There are also many dragons in the dragon clan who spend hundreds or even thousands of years digesting their realm after reaching adulthood.

However, relying on the strength of their own talents, the combat effectiveness of dragons at the pseudo-sanctuary level is still stronger than that of ordinary human sanctuaries.

Of course, this is without the help of external forces. Human bodies are far inferior to those of Warcraft, but humans like to use tools.

For example: The Holy Sword of Light in Hudson's hand is an excellent auxiliary weapon.

If the Holy Knight holds a divine weapon in his hand, it is not impossible to slay the dragon.

“Hudson, don’t listen to Bear Stearns’ nonsense.

What you just comprehended is a bit like the laws of destiny. What the Earth Bear clan comprehended were almost all the laws of the earth system, and no strong person of the destiny system has ever been born.

Regarding the information about the Law of Destiny, there are not many records in his inherited memory! "

Maxim said disdainfully.

When it comes to the number of strong men born, there is no race in the Aslant continent that can compare with the dragon race.

Although the Earth Bear clan is good, they are completely partial students. There are a lot of strong people in the earth system, but the research on other laws depends on how many alternative bears they have given birth to.

"No matter how few records there are, they are still better than you, a dragon with no inherited memory!

It's all thanks to the female dragon to give you the knowledge. I don't believe that she is so conscientious and has given all the inherited memories to you? "

Bear Stearns, who failed to show off, immediately retorted.

He was quite experienced in this area. Bear Stearns knew how irresponsible his mother bear was, and he didn't believe how diligent the mother dragon was.

Perhaps because he was stepped on, Maxim, who was red-faced, glared at the cub. If he hadn't lost too many times before and had no confidence in his heart, he would have invited a fight at this moment.

"Okay, you are both dragons and bears with status, please pay attention to your image."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Hudson, who was watching the excitement, took advantage of the situation and gave both parties a step forward.

Similar bickering happens every now and then. At first, he tried hard to resolve the conflict, but later found that it was all in vain.

The more mediation was carried out, the more quarrelsome the two sides became, and in the end they simply didn't bother to pay attention.

Anyway, the noise only lasted for a while.

If the situation gets out of hand, Hudson will come out and hand steps to both sides.

If it is really unclear, then according to the prevailing rules in mainland China, whoever has the bigger fist is justified.

Fighting is not without its benefits. At least the dragon and bear's combat experience will increase slowly.

…

After staying at home for three days, Hudson came to the royal capital again.

Most of the great nobles from all over the country have arrived, and daily social activities have also increased.

Unlike the banquet held by the palace nobles, Hudson could not buy it at all. Now the people who came were all the powerful people from all over the kingdom.

In order to not be cannon fodder, the local noble lords wanted to have a good relationship with him as the coach; Hudson needed everyone to cooperate closely on the battlefield, and he also needed to have a good relationship.

Including the five Northland Dukes who have never dealt with each other very much, now they are like friends whom they have not seen for many years. As for the previous conflicts, it seems that they have disappeared with the wind.

No one knows what you think deep down in your heart. On the surface, everyone has embedded the theme of "unity" into everything they say and do.

As the head coach, Hudson talks nonsense to everyone and ghosts.

If it hadn't really happened, he wouldn't have known he was so sociable.

When I came back after taking a day off, I suddenly found that the group was blown up. Haiyue can't remember how many times this is, a new group has come online.

I will make up for the missed updates as soon as possible.

Finally, please vote.
