King

After seeing off the Siludi knight, Hudson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the lobbyist sent by Earl Pierce was not a qualified lobbyist, otherwise he might not be able to withstand the temptation.

If it were an indigenous knight, he would most likely accept this piece of pie, even if he knew it was a very hot game.

In the final analysis, the competition is still too fierce. Every year, there are countless new knights like Hudson in the entire continent, but only one out of ten can finally get a fief.

Most of the knights died on the way to battle, and only a few lucky ones were able to stand out.

Relatively speaking, Hudson was lucky. He got an opportunity to lead troops on the battlefield before leaving home.

No matter how useless the serf soldiers are, they are still much better than starting from scratch. Without the family's serf soldiers, Hudson would not be in his current position.

It seems that he has been passively taking the lead all the way, but he is not actively adding fuel to the fire. If I don't want to, can anyone really force me to do it?

If he joins this war as a wandering knight, he will be cannon fodder on the front line.

As far as Hudson knew, the lowest-ranking decathurs in Count Pierce's Crimson Knights were all knights. It is simply impossible to stand out without going through ten or eight wars.

This is still an elite unit. If it were left to the ordinary troops, the probability of getting ahead would be even lower. The probability of obtaining a fiefdom from the fieflord is even lower.

Most knights only have titles and no fiefdoms. If you follow a generous boss, you might be able to get a manor for food.

Most ordinary knights can only receive a meager salary. If you want to get more, you can only go to the battlefield to grab them.

If it weren't for the fact that his pockets weren't really rich, Siludi Knight wouldn't have been so easily bribed by Hudson.

The Snail Brigade was on the road again, and Hudson clearly felt the transformation of the serf soldiers. After two consecutive victories, we finally saw a trace of veterans in them.

It's a pity that this army is only under his temporary command, and after the battle, everyone has to go back to their homes. No matter how well trained you are, you are still making wedding clothes for others.

After being attacked once, Hudson became more and more cautious, and the spies were sent five miles away.

In his spare time, Hudson studied his golden finger - the mysterious compass.

The soul fire of the five silver skeletons was like five blood packs, which greatly replenished the compass, and Hudson also benefited a lot.

Relying on his keen perception, he, a rookie archer, evolved into a marksman. The overall physical fitness has also been greatly improved.

Unfortunately, this kind of external blessing comes at a price. Once the energy in the compass is exhausted, it will return to its normal state.

Prior to this, Hudson had already experienced a wave of training speed bonus, but unfortunately it did not last long and disappeared due to exhaustion of energy.

Of course, it can't be considered as disappearing completely. His physical fitness has improved a lot, but it's just not as powerful as when he received the blessing.

"Mysterious wind element, please listen to my call, the waves are rippling!"

After the spell was completed, the leaves in front of him shook twice. It is still unknown whether it was caused by the release of magic or the spittle particles sprayed out by Hudson when he recited the spell.

Everyone is already familiar with similar scenes. Everyone knows that the noble noble master is practicing magic.

As for why the magic was not released, they didn't know. Anyway, no one dared to discuss this issue openly.

As long as you have thick skin, embarrassment doesn't exist. In order to become a great magician, Hudson also worked hard.

There is no problem with meditation. Every time he is able to enter the state with the help of the mysterious compass, and his mental power is rising slowly.

As for magic power, I can only guess. It's not a magic insulator, but it's not much better.

The magical elements between heaven and earth have never been accepted. Even though Hudson's mental power was no less than that of a junior mage, he still couldn't cast a single spell.

To be precise, you can't release even a single magic spell through your own efforts.

With the help of the mysterious compass, Hudson can still unleash magic. For example, during hunting at noon, he released the first-level magic "Earth Archery".

As a price, the only earth element magic core in his hand was completely reduced to debris after more than a dozen "earth arrow skills".

Compared to knight training, magic training is too picky. All magic spells must match the magic elements of this department before they can release magic.

The energy currently accumulated in the mysterious compass is all transformed from the soul fire of skeletons, and is obviously of the undead type.

Unfortunately, necromancers were too rare, and the spells Hudson exchanged from Chelsea did not contain necromancy.

Without the relevant energy reserves, magic cannot be released, and it does not prevent Hudson from memorizing magic spells.

Practice it in advance so that you won't panic when the critical moment comes. The speed of chanting a spell often determines the speed of magic release, so every great magician is a "quick talker".

Hundreds of failures have not shaken Hudson's determination to learn magic, at least on the surface.

They are all forced to come out. Learning magic is not easy, and it is even harder to learn by yourself without a mentor.

How could it not be noticeable when a magician suddenly appeared? If anyone is interested, they will immediately find something is wrong if they investigate.

Regarding this abnormal situation, the first thing that everyone thinks of is the followers of the evil god. For example, the high priest of the Skull and Bones Society relies on the power of the evil god to release magic.

Hudson was now halfway into the aristocratic circle of the Southeast Province, and he did not want to be suspected of being a follower of the evil god.

So before shaping the character of a magic genius, it is necessary to make up for a period of learning magic.

At least it makes sense in theory and can't be picked on. This group of soldiers now are the best witnesses.

They know nothing about magic and can fool around. If it were in front of a group of nobles, Hudson would not dare to play like this.

Memorizing spells is said to be practicing magic, which is still acceptable. But there is not a trace of magic element that can be triggered. The Chelsea knight who has achieved nothing for decades is an example, and he has nothing to do with the genius mage.

In order to be able to purchase magic crystals reasonably in the future, Hudson also worked hard.

…

The Fifth Army Robbery Brigade, which had failed many times in a row, finally got some meat as the deadline approached. Facts have proved that the commander of the Chelsea Army was right, and the rebels were indeed transferring supplies to the rear.

Successfully robbed a rebel transport convoy, including wheat, cloth, salt, tea, spices... and even several boxes of coins.

The initial estimated value is no less than 100,000 gold coins, which can be said to be a rich harvest.
