King

Witnessed by Hudson, the four parties finally reached a verbal agreement on the stone bridge of Huanhua Creek after friendly consultations, calming the smoke in southern Wright County.

After the armed march was over, everyone naturally went back to their homes. Lord Hudson, who has so many mouths and is frugal, will not leave anyone to eat.

seeing is believing.

Witnessing the military appearance of the soldiers from Northern Xinjiang, Hudson finally understood why those guys from Northern Xinjiang were able to steal food from the Dalton family.

There are only 300 private troops, including 50 plate armored cavalry, and even the ordinary infantry are all wearing leather armor.

Looking from a distance, one can feel the rising evil aura, obviously killing a lot of people.

Unlike the elite parallel importers produced by Hudson, who looked like a rainbow in the queue, and their running speed was top-notch, but he had no confidence in his actual combat ability.

They were all infantry, and their equipment was only adequate with the weapons in their hands. The number of leather armors just exceeded a hundred, and the rest could only be made up of cloth armors.

Fortunately, the other party was a smart person with a lot of thoughts, and he was intimidated by the majestic momentum as soon as he came up.

If you meet a Tiehanhan and start fighting immediately after a disagreement, it's really hard to say who will win or lose.

If it weren't for the sharp archer Hudson, who could easily break through the cavalry's armor, the battle would still be impossible to fight even if they had several times the strength advantage.

The three hundred veterans in Hudson's hands are pretty good, although they are still some distance away from being truly elite. The invincible and invincible record along the way still cheered up the soldiers.

Knight Coelho, Knight Roman, and Knight Valov, the 800 people put together by those three workers were just a joke.

Less than half are young and strong, and the rest are old, young, and there are even women mixed in to make up the numbers.

Just a charge of fifty plate armored cavalry would probably be enough. Ordinary archers would not be able to break through the plate armor's defense. What kind of achievements can be achieved depends purely on the blessing of the Lord of the Dawn.

There is no doubt that the families behind the northern Xinjiang nobles who went south this time have spent a lot of money. Otherwise, these valuable equipment are not so easy to come up with.

I guess from the very beginning, I considered being in a foreign land. It is difficult to replace the loss of soldiers.

It is conceivable that if all the northern nobles were in this lineup, the local nobles in Wright and Wyton counties would probably suffer a big loss this time.

But Hudson didn't panic. The plate-armored cavalry was so powerful on a flat plain.

Although the Mountain Territory only has a group of small bumpkins, it is still a huge trouble for the cavalry.

I guess no one would be stupid enough to put precious cavalry under the eyes of the "Knight of the Divine Bow".

If the number is too small, it will not be able to withstand his misfortunes; if the number is too large, it will have to worry about being kited. The speed of the Earth Bear is not comparable to that of a war horse.

If your own family is fine, other fiefdom lords will be miserable. The vast plain is a battlefield tailor-made for cavalry.

It seems that not only ordinary broadswords and spears must be produced, but also extended versions of spears and swords specially designed to cut off horse legs, and even war hammers and giant axes must be prepared.

When encountering plate armor cavalry, these heavy weapons are obviously more suitable for use. Even if you can't achieve your goal all at once, you can still try it a few more times.

What's more, everything has two sides. The elite division is indeed powerful in combat, but the cost of maintenance is also high.

Ordinary serf soldiers can take care of the food. As long as they can eat enough, they can attack wherever the lord points. Elite troops not only have to take care of food, but also have to eat well. Failure to keep up with nutrition cannot guarantee combat effectiveness.

Those who participate in the robbery will get a share, and those who make military exploits will be rewarded. If we don't do these tasks well, we won't be able to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for fighting.

…

On the way back, Baron Kettle, who was also shocked, secretly felt lucky more than once to be safe.

Troops that move in unison are rare in northern Xinjiang. The troops who can do this are all the best among the best.

Although all of Hudson's men were infantry, Baron Kettle did not dare to underestimate them. Because he had witnessed with his own eyes on the battlefield how a group of elite infantry brutally killed orcs and wolf cavalry.

"Uncle Holman, we must speed up. Taking advantage of the tacit agreement we have just reached with the Mountain Baron, we must immediately take extraordinary measures against the other companies to avoid procrastinating for too long and causing new troubles.

The Koslow family can train a super elite infantry force, but what about other nobles with deeper backgrounds?

Perhaps this is not an isolated case, but that we have underestimated the power of the nobles in the southeastern provinces. After all, in terms of financial resources, they far exceed ours in the North.

As long as you are willing to pay, spending money can produce elites. Even if the combat effectiveness is not as strong as the private army in the hands of Baron Hudson, it can still keep up with ordinary elites.

If you don't create the established fact before they can react, you won't know how many people will come out to mediate later.

It is easy to continue to sell face, but what about the future development of the territory? Without enough population, we can't even feed our army. "

A clear mind is a must. If you are not a home owner, you don’t know how expensive daily life is. If you want to support the three hundred elites in your hands, you can't live without three to five thousand people.

This is just a theoretical state. In fact, the expenses of a noble are far more than just military expenses. Daily communication and human relationships are all gold-eating beasts.

If you have more children, the cost will be even greater. Daily practice, weddings and funerals are all a big expense.

It's okay to live together regardless of the family separation. If the eldest son inherits the family business after separation, you can't watch the younger sons go out to eat glutinous rice, right?

The nobles in northern Xinjiang raised many soldiers because they faced the threat of foreign enemies and could only resort to violence without caring about the so-called noble face.

Everyone's economic conditions are not sufficient, so they naturally keep everything simple in their daily lives. Not only has daily communication and human relations been reduced, but weddings and funerals have also been saved as much as possible.

If the nobles of the southeastern provinces give up their luxurious and comfortable life and join the nobles of the northern Xinjiang in militarizing, it will take only a few years for their military equipment to be improved.

An accidental misunderstanding affected Baron Kettle's misjudgment of the strength of the nobles in the southeastern province, and also accelerated the progress of the battle to snatch people.

Earlier, the local nobles looted the fiefdoms of the northern nobles, but now the situation has been reversed. The local nobles who originally had the upper hand quickly fell into a disadvantageous position in the head-to-head military struggle.

For a time, the two counties of Wright and Wyton were filled with smoke, and countless local nobles were unfortunately turned into prisoners, waiting for their families to pay ransom.

The Koslow family was also affected. The unlucky ones were not Baron Berio and Knight Guarente, who had just inherited the title and were in a period of weakness.

They were too content to keep to themselves and did not follow the trend to join the fight for people. With the strong support of the family, they were not involved in the turmoil for the time being.

On the contrary, Adrian Knight, who was doing well, was severely beaten by society and was taught by several neighbors to teach him how to behave. It was all caused by too much fun in the past, but now the situation is just changing.

There was nothing that could be done about it. As the younger brother of the Dalton family, the boss had given orders that Adrian Knight must act as the vanguard against the nobles of Northern Xinjiang.

Previously, he had gained a fief because of the Dalton family; now, also because of the Dalton family, he suffered the cruelest social beating.

Of course, to say how miserable it really is is pure nonsense. At the beginning of the incident, Adrian was prepared to withstand the backlash.

The people captured earlier were not brought back to the territory at all, but were transferred to the family branches two counties away for foster care.

Not only were the population moved, but their families, belongings, and troops were also left outside. After the conflict broke out, only Adrian Knight and a group of old and weak people were in the territory.

Adrian Knight, who was directly ruined, seemed to have received the cruelest beating from society, but in fact the loss was minimal.

When the nobles of Northern Xinjiang came to visit him, he consciously became a prisoner. However, Adrian refused to acknowledge the fact of leading troops to rob people.

We are all nobles, and we cannot use torture to extract confessions. Even if he becomes a prisoner of war, he must be entertained with good wine and meat.

Not to mention the old and the weak, there are only a hundred and eighty people in the territory. If you say he led troops to rob people, you have to provide evidence!

No matter how powerful the Northern Xinjiang nobles are, they cannot cross regions and search for evidence in the territories of other branches of the Koslow family.

However, Knight Adrian had not yet realized that he was a prisoner. Not only did he deserve to eat and drink, but he also kept asking for an explanation from the northern nobles who captured him.

Hudson admitted that the bad idea was his. In order not to involve the Koslow family in the turmoil and to give another explanation to the Dalton family, this is the best way.

I just never expected that Adrian Knight would be so good at playing. People let him go, and they promised not to pursue the previous matter, but he still refused to leave, hoping to seek justice for his tragic experience.

It's true that he lost his leather face, but he does have the capital to cause trouble now. The party that was originally the troublemaker has now become the victim.

Hudson doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter, and even the Koslow family can pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Now all the nobles in the southeastern province are watching. Their younger brother has been wronged for no reason. If the Dalton family doesn't stand out, how can they have the nerve to hang out in the circle?
