The King

  Chapter 28 The Hardworking Fifth Army

  The core interests of the nobles were not touched, and the reorganization work went smoothly. Except for some criticisms caused by the military position, there was basically no trouble.

   Disputes over military positions are also easy to handle. Anyway, it is not a regular army, so there is no need to make it so serious.

  As far as Hudson knows, in order to balance the interests of all parties, in addition to the Fifth Army and the First Army, the other three armies still have a few more regiment numbers when they are not fully staffed.

  The First Army, that is the direct line of Earl Pierce. Even if the personnel are not directly under the standing army, they are still his vassals, and naturally no one dares to make trouble if the boss is suppressing him.

  The Fifth Army was simply frightened by yesterday's battle. Many families have suffered heavy losses, and they have no capital to make trouble.

  If this were not the case, Hudson would not be the head of the Tenth Regiment. Even if it is just a count, there are more people who are more qualified than him.

  In the aristocratic circle, it is also about seniority. In a sense, no one teamed up with him, and there were some reasons for this.

  If Hudson had a prominent background, or a higher title, that's all. But he is a cute new knight who has not been canonized, and it is really embarrassing to be under the command of such a brat!

  Others are unwilling to be a younger brother, and Hudson is even more unwilling to be a younger brother to others. Of course, no one would accept a younger brother over their own means.

  Hudson knows that the soldiers in his hands are a mob, but it doesn't mean that other people also know. In the eyes of the outside world, the hundreds of direct descendants under his command still have some combat effectiveness.

   Thinking about it makes me drunk. Other traversers pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, but when they come to him, they become tigers and scare pigs.

  As soon as the reorganization was completed, and it was too late to adapt, Earl Pierce impatiently gave the order—to set off.

  From the perspective of the overall situation, there is obviously nothing wrong with this decision. Knowing that Skull and Bones has the "Blood Moon Horn" in their hands, naturally they can no longer leave time for the enemy to prepare.

   But when it comes to the specific implementation, there are frequent problems. The aristocratic coalition forces that have just completed the initial reorganization and have not yet adapted obviously do not have the ability to make expeditions.

  However, this has little to do with Hudson. The task received by the Fifth Army is to deliver food and grass. Under normal circumstances, it is not their turn to go to the battlefield.

   Judging from the reactions of his colleagues, Hudson knew that this was a hard job. If you do a good job, that’s what you should do; if something goes wrong, you still have to take responsibility; if the battle goes wrong, you may be blamed.

   I have never heard of a grain transportation team for military exploits. It doesn't make any sense to talk about the importance of escorting food and grass. The habit of counting military exploits in the continent of Aslante is to look at the battle results.

   Transporting food and grass is something that anyone can do, anyway, everyone is not in the habit of robbing food and grass. At least in Hudson's memory, there is no historical record of who took the initiative to send troops to rob the grain road.

  Ninety-nine out of ten wars are gentlemen's wars, everyone follows the rules very much, and few engage in foolishness.

   Of course, the rebels may be an exception. Without the shackles of the rules of the noble game, there are usually unexpected performances.

  However, the generals of the rebel army are all temporarily rushed to the shelves, and their military capabilities are usually not very good. Most of the time, there is no time to learn in actual combat, and they have already been suppressed.

   Occasionally, a few outstanding military talents emerged, and they were also crowned with titles such as "despicable" and "shameless", nailed to the pillar of historical shame, and despised by the world. The specific deeds are not recorded.

   "His Excellency, Legion Commander, this is really bullying! He even said it was taking care of us. According to this way of taking care of us, our previous sacrifices would be in vain..."

   Baron McNamee's words were just the beginning, and then all the leaders expressed their opinions, denouncing the unscrupulous decision of the Governor's Palace.

  Although the Fifth Army made great contributions in the previous battles, it failed to leave the leader of the rebel army behind.

   Based on this little credit alone, it is still shared by everyone. It is obviously not convincing to want to carve up unclaimed territories after the war.

  Compared to other nobles, the Fifth Army actually has a first-hand advantage. The most correct operation now is to continue to fight with the main force and continue to maintain this advantage.

  Even if it doesn't play a decisive role in the next battle, just follow the soy sauce and claim credit, and you can still fight after the battle.

  The task of escorting food and grass seems to be to take care of the Fifth Army, but in fact it excludes everyone from the carve-up feast. It is no wonder that the reaction of everyone is so fierce.

  Waving his hands to stop the quarrel, Cheers sighed and said: "I know these problems too, but now the Second, Third, and Fourth Armies are jealous of our military exploits and have joined together to exclude us.

   It happens to be among the five armies, and the strength of our fifth army is at the bottom. The drudgery of transporting food and grass naturally fell on us.

   But rest assured, I have already won the favor from the Governor. He made a promise that we would go to war after the supplies were delivered. "

  Hearing this explanation, Hudson rolled his eyes directly. He couldn't believe that Chelsea didn't see such a simple sowing of dissension.

   Without the acquiescence of Earl Pierce, how can the Fifth Army be left on the bench simply by being excluded?

   But knowing it is one thing, but this was originally a conspiracy. That Governor Pierce used the fief as a raft, which aroused everyone's greed and jealousy, and it was logical to divide the noble coalition forces.

   Maybe the head of the legion, who is fighting against everyone, has been secretly bought by Earl Pierce. After all, buying a person is far easier than buying a group.

   It is useless to understand. The general trend is like this, and it cannot be controlled by a small person like Hudson. The smartest thing to do now is to pretend to be confused and wait for the situation to develop.

   Even if it is to **** food and grass, the tenth regiment with the largest number of people is also cheaper than the other regiments. If you want to make a fuss, other people will make a fuss first, and he can hold back this anger.

   "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, can you believe this kind of nonsense?

  The rebels had already lost their troops under Fort Ethel. Even if the cannon fodder was worthless, it would take time to regroup.

  Although the Blood Moon Horn is powerful, there are also many restrictions on its use. What's more, the evil weapon has been sealed for more than three hundred years, and without 1.8 million souls as sacrifices, it cannot be recovered at all.

  As long as the speed of action is fast enough, the rebels simply will not have time to make a comeback. The team pulled up temporarily may not be able to withstand a charge of the coalition forces.

  Skull and Bones rats are all cowards. Once you feel something is wrong, you will immediately flee thousands of miles away, making it hard to guard against.

  Even if Earl Pierce fulfills his promise, there must be enemies on the battlefield to kill us! "

   It was Baron Brockett who opened his mouth to refute. From his eyes, Hudson saw unwillingness and anger.
