King

Seeing the soldiers shouting loud slogans and running in circles around the city wall, the noble nobles who were watching were very disappointed.

Originally, they stayed to observe, hoping to secretly learn Hudson's military training methods through observation, but they saw a group of people running under the city wall.

Of course, not all the troops are running in circles around the city wall. The kingdom's standing army has as many as 270,000 people. It is unrealistic to all gather together for training.

There are only a few legions guarding the royal capital under the city, and the other troops are receiving military training in their respective stations.

Depending on the actual situation at the station, some troops will run in circles around the military camp, while others will go directly to the field for training.

With supplies of supplies guaranteed, Hudson showed no mercy and strictly ordered the aristocratic officers to lead the troops in physical training.

It's okay to be lazy, as long as you don't get caught. Marshal Hudson is patrolling the sky on a dragon.

Once caught, they will be demoted in a downgraded manner, or thrown into the "Warrior Camp" to receive meritorious service.

The competition within the nobility is also fierce. The children of the nobility who join the standing army are basically the lords who have no inheritance of fiefdom. Why are they still waiting to make achievements on the battlefield?

Downgrading will not only reduce their official position, but also their success rate in making achievements.

Generally speaking, the more senior generals are, the more secure they are and the easier it is to accumulate military merits. In many cases, they can obtain a lot of military merits through the hard work of their subordinates.

In comparison, middle- and lower-level officers have a much harder time. As the specific executors of strategies and tactics, they often undertake the most dangerous tasks.

In previous wars, the casualty rate among the nobles of the Kingdom of Alpha has remained high. The main reason is that the middle and lower nobles often have to personally lead the soldiers to kill.

Throw it into the "Warrior Camp", let alone that. Performing a hard task with a near-death experience, the credit gained from completing the task must first be used to offset the mistakes made before.

It can be said that from the moment you step into the Warrior Camp, you have already said goodbye to "success and fame". Some are just hardworking penancers.

Everyone was holding their disappointment in their hearts. If you decide to follow Hudson and steal the army, you will definitely not be impatient.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just record it down first. Go back and copy it back intact, just copy it and see the effect.

Knowing that someone was stealing the army, Hudson did not interfere.

With so many officers and soldiers participating in the training, someone will always record it. From the moment the training begins, it is destined to be impossible to keep secrets.

Even if it is plagiarized intact, the effect cannot be replicated.

The soldiers in front of me all came from the battlefield. Although most of them were from the logistics troops, they had seen blood on the battlefield.

It is not as good as the previous standing army. That is because the kingdom's original standing army was stationed on the border all year round. It had conflicts with the orcs from time to time, and occasionally went deep into the orc empire to cause trouble.

Even in peacetime, thousands of people are lost in combat every year. If one's own abilities were not good enough, he would have been eliminated long ago.

With sufficient supplies of materials, veterans have a high probability of transforming into elites after rigorous training.

It would be difficult for ordinary serf soldiers to achieve this effect without seeing blood on the battlefield.

For half a month, there were no new ideas in physical training and queue training. The occasional combat training was just a few simple hacking and stabbing movements, which made the nobles who stole the army dumbfounded.

…

"Thorsten, our Marshal Hudson's training is the same every day. What's so interesting?"

Hearing this familiar voice, he turned to look at the person coming, and Duke Thorsten said angrily: "Hero, stop doing this!

There is nothing interesting to say about it. The details of the training process are the most detailed ones you record.

If I guess correctly, you have sent people back to try out these training contents in the family's private army. "

Social beatings are the best way for people to grow. The hard times in recent years have made these Northland Dukes who came to power in advance have grown a lot.

Even if we are on the opposite side, those who should steal the teacher should still steal the teacher. Face is only worth a few dollars in the face of survival.

"hey-hey……"

"Thorsten said it as if you didn't follow suit.

Marshal Hudson's troop training method is simple, but it is more effective!

You looked at the team outside the city. They were obviously different from before. It seems like it has been less than two months since he took over this unit, right?

What's more, the military training methods passed down by several of us are actually not that complicated, and even the latter part of the content overlaps.

The difference is that our serf soldiers usually train every five days and every ten days. Only a small number of elites can train every three days, but here they train every day.

However, Hudson was ruthless enough to directly cut the welfare benefits of noble officers to improve the food standards of these big soldiers.

If nutrition hadn't been able to keep up with him, he would have been disabled by such crazy tossing. "

Duke Hero complained unabashedly.

Everyone can see the problem. Even if you can't see it yourself, the family think tanks behind you will help analyze it, but that doesn't mean you can imitate it.

Compared with the kingdom's standing army, it is actually more difficult for the noble private army to carry out institutional reforms.

The standing army belongs to the kingdom, not to any one person. In order to win the war, the nobles could still accept the temporary loss of some of their interests.

The family private army is different.

Because they are all on our own, you can safely leave your back to your companions when fighting, and you can often exert stronger combat effectiveness.

It also comes from our own people. If we want to carry out structural reform, we face resistance from top to bottom.

If the head of the family is strong enough, he can barely implement it by improving the treatment of soldiers, but if he wants to reduce the treatment of noble officers, there is no need to discuss it.

Everyone is the hero of the family, so why should we cut the salary if we say it should be cut? The head of the family has to be unreasonable.

Of course, as long as there is no corruption within the family and everyone can make temporary sacrifices in critical moments, then it won't be a big problem.

However, this, like Hudson's reforms, is a temporary emergency measure, and will soon return to its original state once the danger is relieved.

"Okay you two, there is no need to discuss Marshal Hudson's military capabilities. With this free time, you might as well think about how to deal with the next situation!"

Duke Rodriguez said helplessly.

It seems that they hold great power at such a young age and are the envy of everyone in the outside world, but in fact they are aware of their own suffering.

The biggest shortcoming of being promoted early is the lack of prestige, which makes it impossible to suppress the old guys in the clan.

They are nominally the head of the family, but unfortunately the wrong decisions of the previous head of the family have brought heavy losses to the family. The father's debt must be paid by the son, and many people in the family have objections to their rise to the top.

If the kingdom didn't have a strict inheritance system, there might have been a drama of side branches seizing the throne.

The power of the family head was affected. No matter whether it was internally or externally, none of them could become strong.

Sometimes a decision is made, but it is overturned by the clan, and there are even more cases where the decision is made in a positive and negative way.

If the five major Northland families were at their peak, they would have jumped out to compete for the position of head coach. It is definitely not that simple for Hudson to get the position.

Now, let alone fighting for the position of coach, they don't even have the confidence to fight for the position of assistant coach.

Even if they were offered a nomination, they could only reluctantly refuse. There is no other reason than that none of them believe that they can do a good job.

"Rodriguez, do you think it will be our turn to control the next situation?

You are destined to just follow the general trend, so why bother yourself!

As long as the kingdom can survive this disaster smoothly, there is nothing wrong with us being the house dogs. "

Duke Hero said with an indifferent expression.

But his actual actions were clearly inconsistent with what he said. If he really was prepared to go with the flow, he wouldn't be so active in stealing from others.

It was obvious that the conversation between several people was deliberately told to interested people. If we really wanted to hold a discussion, we couldn't choose to do so in this heavily guarded city gate building.

Since Caesar IV succeeded to the throne, they have consciously or unconsciously moved closer to the king, hoping to get rid of their politically awkward position.

So far, the plan has been half successful. Under the operation of Caesar IV, their relationship with the royal family eased slightly, but their political isolation remained unchanged.

After all, they were too impatient. Their urgent need to change their political status could not be hidden from the old foxes in the kingdom.

I have offended so many people in the past, and now that I am in decline and want to turn around, how can we make it easy for them?

Including the goodwill released by the royal family towards them, it is all illusory. Caesar IV said he would accept them, but no one knew what he thought deep down.

After all, their ancestors deceived the royal family and lost their ancestral property, and the older generation who experienced it personally are not dead yet!

As long as these old antiques are around, things are not over yet.

Coupled with the strong rise of Hudson, they lost their voice in the military.

In order to avoid being hit in the war, they had to repeatedly express that they had no ambitions.

…

In Lutetia, the 18th Parliament of the Human Race Alliance has begun.

Less than two years have passed since the last meeting concluded, and it is like a permanent institution.

There is no way. There are too many things that need to be coordinated by all parties when the mainland war breaks out, and a meeting will definitely be held to discuss it.

It has not started for a long time, mainly because the last meeting just ended, so it seems very cheap to hold another meeting immediately.

All countries do not want to start this "historical name". When problems arise, representatives from all parties discuss and deal with them in private until representatives of the five grassland countries jointly initiate a proposal.

The issues were brought to the league meeting, which was obviously the result of the breakdown of negotiations.

Surprisingly, the pushy Charles III was "sick at home" at the moment and did not come to join in the fun. Instead, he asked Prime Minister Duke Bergson to preside over the meeting as a representative of the host.

…

"Count Predrag, what is your country's opinion on the joint complaint from the Kingdom of Farland, the Kingdom of Ita, the Kingdom of Light, the Principality of Gamma, and the Principality of Delta?"

Duke Bergson asked seriously.

Greeting everyone's gaze, Count Predrag smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency the Duke, fellow members of parliament, these accusations are pure nonsense!

When did we cut off the shipping routes and affect the war between the grassland countries and the orcs?

As for threatening countries to withdraw their troops to our country and using them as cannon fodder, it is even more naked slander!

Only a rogue country could do such a shameless thing.

I don’t know how some people’s brains grow, but we were reminded of the stormy sea once, and yet we made up so many pictures in our minds.

I'm afraid it's an excuse deliberately fabricated by some people who are greedy for life and fear death, and want to desert before the battle.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that if any country on the grassland falls, there are only two evacuation routes for the people.

The few ships on the sea are not enough for some selfish deserters. Where are the tickets for ordinary civilians?

Our country is willing to accept refugees out of aristocratic spirit and compassion for the weak...

These slanders arise mainly because we are unwilling to accept cowards who flee without a fight.

These scoundrels who enjoy the glory of the nobility and are unwilling to take responsibility fabricated these accusations in order to take revenge on the kingdom! "

As for politics, be thick-skinned and eat enough.

No matter how much the five grassland countries accuse them, they are all things that have not happened yet. As long as the Alpha Kingdom refuses to admit its guilt, it will be impossible to convict them.

When they originally issued the proposal, the five countries did not expect to do anything to the Alpha Kingdom. They just wanted to create pressure from public opinion and force the Alpha people to give up their plan to use them as cannon fodder.

It's a pity that a public opinion storm has been created, but the direction of the trend is somewhat wrong. The Alpha Kingdom, which should have been blamed for busy explaining, directly bit them back.

"Desert", a seemingly simple word, was a heinous crime during the Continental War.

Once they fall, even if they evacuate from the grassland intact, there will be no place for them on the mainland.

The relatives, friends and family members of the past will be ashamed of them, and even the family behind them will be humiliated.

"Count Predrag, you are completely slandering!"

"It's all slander!"

"We are busy fighting hard on the front lines, and you are watching the excitement from behind, deliberately sitting back and watching..."

…

Seeing the representatives of the five countries making constant accusations, the smile on Count Predrag's face became brighter and brighter.

There is only one explanation for the other party panicking so quickly: they are really planning to run away!

Now that it has been exposed, it will undoubtedly seriously affect the evacuation plans of the five countries. If the movement range is even slightly larger, it will cause an uproar.

The window paper has been pierced, and even if there is a chance to withdraw the main force, we dare not implement it now.

If tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people were to be evacuated from the sea, even the spitting stars within the human race would be able to drown them, let alone restore the country.

"Whether there is slander or not, everyone knows in their hearts, and many of the congressmen and representatives here are not blind.

In recent days, there are so many of you going back to your hometown to visit relatives!

This is a time of war, and all resources should be tilted towards the war. There are still tens of thousands of people returning home to visit relatives every month. It seems that your war potential is quite large.

Speaking of using allies as cannon fodder, I think the representatives of the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega would have something to say.

After all, the tens of thousands of troops that the two countries broke out of were now less than five hundred, and they were just short of sending their kings to the battlefield.

We are also afraid of being deceived when we encounter allies like you who have low morals and want to be deserters!

Everyone can rest assured that the kingdom will stand up when needed. Who said we and the orcs are mortal enemies? "

I tried to force my defense, but it still sounded reasonable to everyone.

The number of people visiting relatives in grassland countries has skyrocketed. This is an indisputable fact. According to the rules, moving family members in advance is also considered crossing the line.

It's just that for this kind of thing, everyone usually turns a blind eye or closes one eye, and no one is willing to get it done.

One of the members of the House of Representatives here also knew about the matter of cheating his teammates. When the incident happened, the two victims from the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega approached us for justice.

It's a pity that the five grassland countries have very good reasons, all to resist the invasion of orcs. In addition, it was only forcibly requisitioned at that time and had not been used as cannon fodder, so we could not assign charges in advance.

After the incident, the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega had a clean slate. Even the investors behind them chose to admit their losses, so naturally no one would stand up for them.

It was certain that there was no way to save the day, and the representatives of the two countries in the parliament were too lazy to do useless work and started their retirement life in advance.

At this moment, Earl Predrag's words once again pushed them to the forefront.

"Your Majesty the Earl is right. Our two countries mistakenly trusted five shameless allies, and even the last seeds of the principality were lost.

Even our king is under their house arrest. And use this as a threat to prevent us from appealing to the Alliance Parliament!

Due to His Majesty's safety, we can only choose to compromise.

Today we finally have the opportunity to speak. In front of many congressmen and representatives, I don’t believe you still dare to kill the king! "

"Thieves, today we want to seek justice for the dead souls of the principality!"

The accusations of Earl Carlisle and Earl Houston instantly brought the atmosphere of the venue to a climax.

"Cutting off shipping routes", "sitting back and watching allies defeat", "deserting", and "using allies as cannon fodder" are already sensitive enough topics, but now they involve a "monarch under house arrest case".

If anything happened to either of Bolent I and Baird I, a regicide case would immediately follow.

The matter became more and more noisy, and the congressmen who had been watching the excitement gradually became unable to sit still.

The previous issues are all easy to discuss. We can slowly hold the countries responsible responsible after the war is settled, but the regicide case must not happen under their noses.

Even if it is just a possibility, it is not allowed.

The venue fell silent, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing. The representatives of the Five Prairie Nations, who were suddenly forced into a corner, hurriedly came out to explain.

Unfortunately, as soon as they opened their mouths, they were interrupted by Duke Bergson.

"I don't care what grievances there are between the seven grassland countries, and things like putting the monarchs of other countries under house arrest are not allowed.

Trying to kill the king in vain is a heinous crime!

I propose that the Alliance send a fleet to bring back Bolent I and Baird I. During this period, you must ensure the safety of the two majesties.

We will hold a meeting to discuss the rest of the issues after their two majesties arrive in Lutetia. "

It seems that Duke Bergson is suppressing the Five Steppe Nations, but he is actually coming to the rescue.

If the discussion continues, not to mention forcing the Alpha Kingdom to give up its plan, the Five Prairie Kingdoms may first become suspected of regicide.

After all, the Five Prairie Nations are still politically immature. Bringing matters that have not yet happened to the Alliance Parliament would be a big mistake.

However, his butt is still not clean, and he has left others with a clue when it comes to dealing with the Principality of Shillong and the Principality of Omega. How could the Alpha Kingdom give up this opportunity?

The alliance meeting had just begun, and the five grassland countries were immediately defeated.

To put it bluntly, none of the crimes they accused the Alpha Kingdom had time to happen. On the contrary, they themselves were saddled with the same crimes.

If Duke Bergson hadn't come to the rescue in time, it would have taken less than a few days for the Alliance Council to receive the news that Bolent I and Baird I had been assassinated.

At that time, the five grassland countries will become coal, and even if they jump into the sea, they will not be able to clear their suspicions.

With the multiple charges stacked up, any action the Alpha Kingdom takes against them will become legal.

Even now, their identities have changed from plaintiffs to defendants.

Their problem at this moment is no longer how to accuse Alpha Kingdom of its crimes, but how to get Alpha Kingdom to let go.
