The King

  Chapter 289 Set meal arrangement

  Looking at the majestic Allied Forces, Hudson just wanted to sigh: the wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong men will never return!

   He admitted that he was sour. The majestic Tyrannosaurus Rex, the sensitive yet mighty Velociraptor, the Earthrunner that weighed as much as an elephant... really blinded his eyes.

   In addition to running on the ground, there are also flying in the sky. In short, Hudson is so greedy for the property brought out by the coalition forces.

  Aside from these behemoth legions, the quality of individual soldiers of the coalition army is also frighteningly high, and there are almost no ordinary people.

  Even if they knew it, everyone used these to support the scene. That also made Hudson drool enviously, and had to forcefully move his eyes away.

   He didn't dare to continue watching, otherwise Hudson worried that he would be jealous and lose himself.

   After watching the large troops leave, Hudson, who came back to his senses, realized his gaffe.

   Fortunately, everyone's reaction was similar to his. Every aristocrat has a dream of commanding thousands of troops, as a high-level aristocrat, he has to add two words after this-elite!

  …

   "Now start assigning their respective tasks: Marquis James, you will be responsible for the distribution of food and grass for the army. It is necessary to do a good job in coordination and ensure that the supplies are distributed on time.

  Marshal Borg, Earl Martins, Earl Pierce, Duke Pias...you are in charge of escorting supplies.

  Although the coalition air force will provide you with safety warnings, this is the orc empire after all, and it is possible for the enemy to bypass the air force's sight to conduct military mobilization.

  Everyone must be vigilant, and don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. In particular, beware of the enemy sending masters to engage in some means of offering sacrifices to evil gods on the way.

  The Dukes of Cavadia, Agieron, Dias, Ferdinand... Your mission is the most important.

   Not only must we take Fengyue Port, but we must also take Fengyue Port that can guarantee navigation, laying the foundation for the army's next attack.

  …”

  A series of tasks are assigned, that is, everyone has work to do, and Hudson is left as an "idle person".

  But this is only a superficial phenomenon. As the commander-in-chief of the army, his task was not easy at all.

   Sit in the central army and coordinate the overall situation.

  If there are no problems, everything will be fine. If any accident occurs in any link, he has to be responsible for the aftermath to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

  As soon as the voice fell to the ground, the impatient Duke Pias jumped out and asked, "Earl Hudson, why am I... responsible for escorting food and grass instead of attacking Fengyue Port?"

   Originally, I wanted to say that the nobles of the North were going to attack Fengyue Port, so why did they treat him separately. It's just that when the words came to his lips, he changed his words temporarily.

   It is already reckless enough to fire at Hudson, the coach. If you bring your colleagues along, you will offend many people.

  A discerning eye can see it at a glance. It seems that they are all tasks, and there are also grades.

   If you want to make contacts and not be afraid of the trouble of dealing with interpersonal relationships, the best place to go is to distribute supplies.

   If you want to gain military exploits, it is obviously more reliable to attack Fengyue Port. After all, the military exploits are all made by fighting, so where is the credit if you don't go out and kill people?

   Escorting food and grass, that can only be regarded as hard work. Unless the enemy robs food and successfully defeats the enemy, keeping the food and grass for the army, it can be regarded as a military exploit.

  In the case of air force support in the sky, the probability of being attacked by a large enemy force is infinitely zero.

   Guessing that as soon as they acted, the nearby coalition forces immediately rushed over.

   The Terran Alliance launched this war not only to save the face of the Terran, but also to show off its muscles.

   It is not only a show of strength to the foreign races outside, but also a competition between the major forces within the human race, or to deter each other.

  There is no doubt about the enthusiasm for combat. As long as it is a war that can be won, everyone will actively participate.

  With the coalition forces in front, even if the orcs come out to rob food, there is a high probability that they will only send a small group of troops to run over to cause damage.

  On the prairie of Yimapingchuan, there are at most eight hundred people, and if there are more, they will not be able to hide.

  Marching on the grassland, there are often more than one route to choose from. In the absence of prior intelligence, to complete the ambush accurately, it depends purely on luck.

   After gearing up and preparing for so long, when it came time to make contributions, he was put on little shoes. The Duke of Pias didn't challenge Hudson to a duel, which was considered a face for the king.

   "Your Excellency, there is no distinction between military tasks, but the division of labor is different. We are all fighting for the great cause of the human race.

   Taking Fengyue Port is very important, and the task of escorting food and grass is equally important. Especially transporting food and grass on the land of orcs is even more dangerous.

  All are ordinary troops, which simply cannot meet the demand. Especially some high-risk delivery missions on special routes require you, the pillar of the kingdom, to take on this important task! "

   Hudson retorted righteously.

  Put the small shoes naked on the bright side, and make them look so grand that Duke Pias almost vomited blood from anger.

  Hudson's reasons are still very good, and he blocked all the words he had prepared in advance.

  Everyone was also surprised that the gentle and elegant coach of his own family was so ruthless in tricking people. For a moment, everyone looked at Duke Pias with sympathy.

   Sympathy is sympathy, and it is impossible to stand up and help. Someone had to do the dirty work, and either Duke Pias was unlucky or one of them filled the hole.

  Especially Earl Pierce, who was on the edge, turned pale with fright. As a potential competitor, what if he was given a death mission?

   Fortunately, this worry only lasted for a moment.

  Different from the five major families in the north being dominant and the rest of the nobles being their vassals, the southeastern province is still full of nobles of all sizes.

  The prosperous Koslow family is full of relatives and friends in the province. Hudson had reason to attack the Dalton family, but he couldn't catch the nobles of the entire province together.

  Arranging the army of the Lochnard family to transport food and grass, which cut off their way to gain military merit; but arranging the coalition forces of the nobles in the southeastern province to transport tasks is a real care.

  The foundation of success is strength.

  Relying on the fragmented broken soldiers and the military power of the vassal nobles, Duke Pias still has more than 15,000 elites in his hands, who can go to the battlefield to fight.

  The coalition of nobles in the southeastern provinces under the command of Earl Pierce has only more than 3,500 people in total, and they cannot afford to lose at all.

   "You are avenging yourself!"

   As soon as the words came out, Duke Pias regretted it. Being worn with small shoes, at most, will lose the chance of gaining military merits.

   As for the dangerous mission Hudson said, that is only a relative term. As a commander, as long as his brain is not bad, he will not deliberately send the troops under his command to die.

  Many nobles in the kingdom are watching. If there is a problem with Hudson's military deployment, he will not be able to convince the public.

  Revenge is very important, but this kind of play that hurts both sides is obviously not the work of a wise man.

   If you don’t pierce the window paper, even for your own reputation, Hudson will hide them in the snow at best. It is impossible to really assign dangerous tasks to them.

   "Duke Pias, what you said is not nonsense. You and I have no grievances in the past, and we have no grievances in recent days. How can we publicly avenge our personal hatred?"

  Difficulty What kind of unscrupulous things did you do behind your back, and you secretly made enemies with me? "

   Hudson asked pretending to be puzzled.

  The grievances between the Koslow family and the Lochnard family are all old accounts from a hundred years ago. No one can tell the specific details now.

   It was the orc army that destroyed the Koslow family. The Lochnard family only contributed to the flames secretly, so they decided to die rather than save. On the surface, the two did not directly engage in action.

   Regarding the betrayal of the Koslow family, the Lochnard family also destroyed all the evidence, and never admitted it to the outside world.

  The well-known truth couldn't come out of his mouth, and Duke Pias blushed all of a sudden.

   "Earl Hudson calm down, Pias is just talking nonsense and has never been in contact with him. How can there be any personal enmity between you!"

   Duke Cavadia said sincerely.

  If not everyone present was an insider, maybe they would have believed it. But it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, in short, there must be no hatred between Pias and Hudson.

  In addition to the unspeakable secrets of the Locknard family, Hudson sent troops to meet Duke Pias in time during the previous war.

  Even if this kind of cooperation has no real meaning, the agreement between them and the orcs cannot be exposed, and they can only accept this favor on the surface.

  Hesitated for a while, and finally Duke Pias took a step forward and said: "Sorry, respected Earl Hudson. Please forgive my gaffe just now..."

   Face cannot be taken for granted. Confronting the coach head-on without sufficient reason is a taboo in the military.

   "Forget it, Your Excellency the Duke is eager for meritorious service, I can fully understand it.

   If you are unwilling to take on the task of transporting food, there is another combat mission here. It was originally planned to be completed by my troops and horses. Since Duke Pias needs it, I will leave it to Your Excellency.

  Before attacking Fengyue Port, we still need a force to go there to create chaos and attract the main force of the enemy to ensure that the port will not be destroyed. "

   Hudson said casually.

  The melon-eating crowd who were watching the excitement opened their eyes wide at this moment, looking at Duke Pias playfully.

  I want a combat mission, and this time I really have it. It is also attacking Fengyue Port, the only difference is that he wants to play a forward to attract the enemy's firepower.

   There are definitely risks, but it is definitely not counted as death. It's not a decisive battle with the enemy in the past, it's just to attract the enemy out, the test is the general's command ability.

   He wanted to refuse, but Duke Pias couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

  By this time, if he still doesn't understand that Hudson has tricked him, he will have spent so many years in vain.

   In the prior communication with the Duke of Cavadia, there was no such task at all. This means that this military mission is completely tailor-made for him.

  If I hadn't made a fuss just now, I guess nothing would happen in the future. Now that he has made such a fuss, he has become a forward of the army.

   But he still couldn't refuse, not participating in the task of transporting food and grass, and it could be said that he wanted to go to the battlefield. If you refuse the striker mission again, it will appear too ignorant.

  Military orders are like mountains, how can they be changed one after another. If I refuse at this moment, I am afraid that none of my allies will support it.
