The King

  Chapter 24 Aftermath

  Watching all the allies step on the horses and supervise the search of the corpses by his subordinates, Hudson was speechless. I thought I was wretched enough, but I didn't expect that there were so many like-minded people.

   It was agreed to collect the corpses for the allies, but all of them ran to make war fortunes. The true feelings just revealed were purely acting.

   There is nothing to say, we must speed up. Everyone lost a lot in this war, and they didn't get any supplies, so they could only make ideas from the dead.

  The aristocratic family also has no surplus food, and it is doomed to lose blood in a battle, and it counts as much as it can get back.

   Hudson doesn't count on money or anything. They are all a group of bitter people, how many coins can they have in their pockets. The key is to grab more weapons and equipment, these things are the most precious during wartime.

  It's a pity that everyone is poor, and only a small number of leaders in the rebel army have iron weapons, and even less armor.

   On the contrary, the elite families of the allies who died in battle had good equipment, but unfortunately most of these weapons and equipment are engraved with marks. Unless the owner is also lying down, it's really not easy to take it privately.

  In order to give full play to everyone’s subjective initiative, as soon as Hudson Chrysostom opens, whoever finds the weapon first will change it first.

   As for collecting the bones for allies?

   Then there is no need to worry at all, the corpse is lying on the ground and will not run away. After the battlefield is searched, it will be in time.

   Searching for loot all the way, Hudson is also constantly reflecting. The daytime battle seemed to be a successful paddling, but his performance was not flawless.

  A lone knight wandering around the edge of the battlefield is too conspicuous. Even if he reacted in time later and took remedial measures, it was hard to guarantee that no one would see it.

  Alternative, everywhere is the object of exclusion. It is difficult for an unconventional knight to mix in the noble circle.

   Fortunately, the battlefield was too chaotic, and everyone didn't have the time to pay attention to him. Even if he was seen, it would be difficult to accurately identify him at such a distance.

   But this is not impeccable after all. After all, there were not many knights who charged in the first wave, and it is a fact that Hudson did not follow the charge.

  Now everyone is immersed in the painful casualties, and they don't think so much, and they will definitely have doubts when they react later.

  Of course, Hudson's blood still gives him a lot of points. Not following the charge does not mean not going into battle to kill the enemy.

  Falling behind the team and not keeping up with the first wave of charge, the team behind was trapped in the siege of the enemy, and it was reasonable to not be able to rush through alone.

  Everyone is in the same circle, and no one will talk nonsense about things without evidence.

  But this kind of thing "can be done once, can be done twice, not repeated again and again". It happened more often, and one day it would eventually go wrong.

  Leaving aside what happened in the future, anyway, in this war, it is absolutely impossible to be discovered.

  The only thing that comforts Hudson is: the Cavaliers are not always fighting on the battlefield, and they will also look for opportunities to rest when they are tired.

   Except, of course, a few brainless people, but these people usually don't live long. After all, human physical strength is not unlimited, and no one can withstand continuous high-intensity battles!

  The kind of killing people for several days in a row, confronting each other across the battlefield, just listen to the story. If it is true, these things on the ground are examples.

  …

  Under the setting sun, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Earl Pierce also wanted to cry without tears. It seems to have won, but the Bo Dalton family is a blood loss.

   Not to mention offending many small and medium nobles in the province, the family elite also lost hundreds of dollars, especially the scarlet knights who lost more than a hundred members. Paying such a high price, the record achieved is not enough.

  Although the rebels suffered more casualties, cannon fodder is really worthless. If one batch dies, another batch can be drawn.

  With the "Blood Moon Horn", the serf who just put down his **** is a threat. Whether it's ten for one or twenty for one, the Skull and Bones will be blood money.

   There is no doubt that the next battle will be even more brutal, but something went wrong on the side of the counter-insurgency army. Judging from the reactions of the nobles, everyone is very dissatisfied with him as the coach.

  According to the usual practice, after a battle is over, it is time to visit him as the coach first, but everyone ran to search for the spoils.

   It is useless to be angry, the autonomy of the fiefdom nobles has always been very high. If Pierce hadn't been the governor of the southeast province appointed by the kingdom, no one would have liked him.

   It is true that the Dalton family is the largest noble in the province, but other nobles are not easy to mess with. For a family with a little bit of background, who doesn't have the means to suppress the bottom of the box?

  In normal times, everyone gave him face as the boss, but this time he was tricked, how could he not show it?

   Pierce is very clear that things are not easy to handle today. If everyone can't give a satisfactory answer, the Dalton family will have a hard time in the future.

   "Send an order to invite the representatives of each family to enter the fortress to discuss matters."

   Earl Pierce said in a low tone.

   Being able to bend and stretch is a noble character. It is not terrible to do something wrong, what is terrible is to make mistakes again and again. Being able to control the southeast province for a long time, Earl Pierce is obviously not someone to take it easy.

  The previous two miscalculations were due to unequal information and miscalculation of the strength of all parties. The same mistake, Pierce will not make a third time, the reality does not allow him to make a third time.

  …

  Aristocrats pay attention to their appearance. Normally, if they accept invitations, they have to tidy up and dress up. This time is purely an exception.

   Dressed in military uniform, without even wiping off the blood on his face, Hudson stepped into the fortress.

   Except for a few nobles who were late and did not catch up with the battle, everyone was dressed in the same way.

   Obviously, this is expressing dissatisfaction with Earl Pierce with practical actions. Especially the members of the alliance who joined the battle first, they were full of anger.

  Because of Earl Pierce's hesitation, everyone suffered heavy losses. If you don't give an explanation, this lawsuit will have to go to the king's capital.

  Of course, the angry people do not include Hudson, and reason tells him that being angry can't solve any problems. Choosing to stand with everyone is purely for the sake of grouping.

  Looking at the cavalry lined up to greet them, Hudson knew that this was a deterrent by force and warned them not to make too much noise.

   But such a trick has no effect on Hudson. Now he is looking forward to seeing through a group of cavalry, wishing to take it for himself.

  During the battle during the day, this elite cavalry slaughtered all directions on the battlefield, leaving a very deep impression on him.

  In Hudson's view, this is the level that the regular army should have. The private army formed by a group of small and medium-sized nobles, except for a few guards, are all mobs.

  Deep in his heart, Hudson has already made a decision: If he has the opportunity in the future, he will also have such an elite cavalry.
