King

The Battle of Dadir City came to an end, and the remnants of the Skull and Bones Society fled far away and turned to underground activities. The lands of Leiden and White Counties could no longer stop the coalition forces.

With the order from Earl Pierce, the battle to regain the lost territory also started in an orderly manner, and the situation was very good.

As the war came to an end, the topic of dividing the spoils gradually became mainstream. Ordinary loot is easy to deal with. The territory is divided directly by region. How much you harvest depends on luck.

But when it comes to "territory", the situation becomes complicated. Unlike the wild lands on the border of the kingdom, the southeastern province was first-class fertile land that no one was willing to give up.

If there are too many monks and too little porridge, some people are destined to not get a share. The game involved behind this is not only military exploits, but also a competition for family power and personal connections.

The surviving nobles of the Fifth Army are all lucky ones. When it comes to "anti-Vatican political correctness," no one dares to deduct their military merit.

The discussion on their merits was completed quickly. Although the results were not announced, the worst of each family could also get a knighthood, and there were also a few who were promoted to barons.

As the first person to have killed the most enemy Holy See cavalry, and with other accumulated achievements, Hudson was naturally listed as the first echelon of heroes, second only to killing the evil god's clone.

I don’t know the final result. Anyway, according to the information I heard, it is a high probability that the baron will be crowned.

This result was even better than what Hudson had expected. He originally thought that if he didn't have enough military exploits, he would rely on his connections and activities to find a way to inherit the fiefdom of a certain unlucky relative who had no heir, but his strength did not allow him to take shortcuts.

The empire you build yourself will naturally be better. There will be no messy inheritance disputes, legality is 100% guaranteed, and you will have more confidence when going out to socialize.

When the dust settled, Hudson's letter for help also arrived in the hands of Baron Redman. But now, instead of asking him for reinforcements, he, as a father, is asked to activate his family connections and help develop a wealthy fiefdom.

After repeatedly questioning the soldier who delivered the message and confirming that the information was accurate, Baron Redman still couldn't believe it was true.

Although he believed that Hudson had military talent, this military talent was too outstanding. If others don't know what Koslow's family's private army is, how can he not know it himself?

Letting Hudson lead the troops on an expedition was mainly to preserve the family's strength and to train his son's military command abilities.

I never expected that the cards that started poorly would turn out to be the best in the end.

Perhaps she saw that Baron Redman was so absorbed that he used the wrong knife and fork when eating. The Baroness noticed something was wrong and asked expectantly: "Sir, was there an accident on the front line?"

Deep down, she had begun praying for Hudson to meet the Lord of the Morning. There is no way, as the mother of a child, she only has such a small amount of tolerance.

Her eldest son was destroyed by Hudson. Under the eyes of Baron Redman, she did not have the courage to carry out revenge according to Raisuer's plan. She could only secretly pray that Hudson would meet the Lord of the Morning as soon as possible.

"fine!"

"No, this should be considered a good thing, and it is also a great joy for the entire Koslow family.

I have to go out for a while, so I'll probably be delayed for a while. You should worry more about things at home. "

Baron Redman said with a smile.

Obviously, Baron Redman still had an idea in mind. He knew that his wife and Hudson didn't deal with it because of Raisuer's matter, and they didn't directly say what it was.

As a qualified nobleman, he knew that nothing could be settled before the dust settled.

Although Hudson’s military exploits cannot be transferred away, the specific location of the territory has not yet been determined!

It's also a barony, and it's divided into three, six, and nine levels. The better the location of the territory and the more fertile the land, the higher the future income.

The higher the territory's fiscal revenue, the more money it can invest in the military, and the stronger its military strength will be.

Strong military strength is not only the guarantee of family security, but also the foundation for further progress in the future.

The Koslow family has existed for thousands of years and has not accumulated much heritage. However, relying on its super fertility, it has accumulated a lot of people.

Other families take a step forward and cannot withstand the pressure from all parties, but the Koslow family is different. By gathering friends and family, one's own family can be as strong as a middle-class noble family, enough to survive the initial period of weakness.

I don’t know if the family’s luck has been spent on having children. For the past few hundred years, the level of the children of the Koslow family has been average.

Not to mention taking the family further, even if any branch can add a knighthood, it is worthy of celebration by the whole family.

If it were not for the lack of outstanding talents and the inability to obtain further tickets, the Koslow family, which had completed primitive accumulation, would have long been among the middle-class nobles.

Hudson's amazing record gave Baron Redman confidence. He is so powerful when he is just starting out. If he can accumulate more than ten or twenty years of experience, wouldn't he be able to become a famous general in the kingdom?

There is no shortage of wars in the Aslant continent. At Hudson's current age, he can wait for a big war even if he waits for a long time.

By accumulating enough military merits on the battlefield and acquiring a larger territory, coupled with the support of various lines, it is entirely possible for the Koslow family to become a middle-class noble.

A father's expectations for his son cannot be understood by others. Under the pained eyes of the Baroness, Baron Redman opened the treasury, took out the family savings, and took the first step of giving gifts.

…

Hudson, who didn't know that his father had spent a lot of money, was returning the serf soldiers to each family with a look of helplessness. Originally, he wanted to spend money to buy these soldiers, but unfortunately, everyone was not stupid.

Although he is a serf soldier, after a series of battles, he has long been transformed. From the original cannon fodder, he transformed into a veteran.

For the nobles whose family private army was severely weakened, these serf soldiers were also a great supplement to the family's military force. Some nobles who were really short of men even directly added these veterans to the guard.

Even the family members of some nobles who died in the battle came to sell their goods and demand their lives, which caused the force in Hudson's hands to shrink sharply, from four thousand, three thousand, two thousand, one thousand, eight hundred...

Except for a few extinct nobles, no slaves came to ask for help, and all the remaining serfs were returned to their original owners.

I originally thought I had taken advantage, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would be helping others train soldiers.

No wonder no one mentioned the return of the serf soldiers before. It was purely because of his reputation and they wanted him to help train soldiers for free.

No, it's still impossible. If you want to mix in aristocratic circles, you must abide by the rules of the game.

Not only must it be paid back, but it must also be done neatly and neatly. People are destined not to be retained, but favors must remain.

Smilingly sending off every noble who felt at home, Hudson's heart was bleeding as he looked at the last remaining 600 serf soldiers.

There was no way to do it, and both Wright and Badon counties were destroyed. The population does not say that one in ten can survive, but it is true that only one in ten young people can survive.

No matter where his territory is, he will face a shortage of labor for a long time in the future. There are no people, so expanding armaments is a joke.

If you have no choice, you can only choose to cheat. My father's territory has a population of more than 10,000, and I think it is not less than a few hundred young men. I guess it won't be a big problem if I borrow it temporarily for ten or twenty years.

Looking at the mountains of supplies, Hudson directly counted the harvest.

The most valuable thing is definitely the hidden Blood Moon Horn. Unfortunately, Hudson doesn't want to be on the Holy See's hunting blacklist, so he is destined to be unable to cash it out.

There are two boxes of gold coins, sixteen boxes of silver coins, and thirty-three boxes of copper coins. It is estimated that the total currency value should be no less than four thousand gold coins.

Ten carts of cloth, two carts of tea, five carts of salt, one cart of spices, 200,000 pounds of grain, two boxes of jewelry, 185 horses, 78 cattle, 430 sheep...

Twenty-three war horses, ninety-three pairs of armor, two hundred and twelve broadswords, one hundred and thirty-six giant axes, forty-three bows and arrows, twenty-six hammers...

Sixteen first-level magic cores, five second-level magic cores, one third-level magic core, ninety-six magic crystals, a magic wand, three sets of broken magic equipment...

Adding up the total harvest, the value of these materials is not less than 10,000 gold coins. The charm of war wealth is so great.
