King

Chapter 29 Skull and Bones Society

Too optimistic. I don't know where this confidence comes from, but Hudson always feels that people around him have a sense of self-confidence, as if counterinsurgency is as simple as picking something out of a bag.

However, after reviewing the Skull and Bones Society's record, Hudson had nothing to say. As a long-established cult organization in the Alpha Kingdom, rebellion against the Skull and Bones Society is completely routine.

Basically, every few years, there will be a wave. Then, every time, it was fierce in the early stage, but collapsed in the later stage, and it just failed to achieve any results.

Almost every old noble has personally participated in suppressing the Skull and Bones rebellion. Facing a group of defeated generals, it makes sense to feel confident.

With such old losers, it's no wonder that Count Pierce dared to let them cause trouble before. If it hadn't been for the Blood Moon Horn being involved, I guess everyone would still be wrangling now.

Judging from everyone's reactions, it is estimated that most people have doubts about the "Blood Moon Horn". Including Hudson was no exception. In addition to the initial shock, he also suspected that Earl Pierce had deliberately thrown it out in order to divert pressure.

After all, the "Blood Moon Horn" is sealed in the Papal State and is guarded by the Judgment Knights. How can those rats from the Skull and Bones Society steal it?

Even if it was really stolen, the Papal State wouldn't have no reaction at all, right?

If such a shocking scandal were to spread, the church would not be able to contain it.

Leaving aside everything else, do you still want to collect the tithe? Do you still want to sell the indulgences?

Judging from the reactions of the clergy in the Southeast Province, we know that the Holy See attaches absolute importance to the Blood Moon Horn. The news had just been received, and even if it was true or false, priests and temple guardians rushed over.

You must know that in previous human civil wars, the Holy See was absolutely neutral. Even if they spend a lot of money to hire a few priests, they will only be responsible for treating injured nobles.

What the truth is, Hudson doesn't care. The joining of the church is definitely a good thing for the coalition, which means that everyone's lives are more secure.

Even if the news proves to be false, it will be Earl Pierce who goes to explain to the church, and the sledgehammer cannot hit him, a little knight.

In Hudson's view, arranging for the Fifth Army to transport grain and grass was actually not entirely about wearing small shoes.

No matter what, someone has to be responsible for transporting food and grass. Among the five armies, the Fifth Army is the weakest. From an overall perspective, it is also the Fifth Army that is most suitable to undertake this task.

Not only does it take care of the overall situation, but it can also divide the small and medium-sized nobles. From the perspective of Governor Pierce, this is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Listening to the constant swearing, Hudson chose to be a quiet listener. Although escorting grain and grass does not bring much credit, it is better because it is safe and guaranteed.

Regardless of other troops, his tenth regiment couldn't go to the battlefield anyway. Even if it is worse than others, the 10th Regiment is one of the worst regiments in the coalition army.

After adding 600 serf soldiers, the army's combat effectiveness remained unchanged. He was not pulled back because the soldier saw blood.

To develop combat effectiveness, one must either go through a period of training or be sent to the battlefield to be tempered in blood and fire.

Perhaps because he saw that Hudson was too carefree, or perhaps because he was humiliated by his subordinates, in order to divert his attention, Chelsea asked: "Hudson, what do you think?"

Hearing "How to See", Hudson's heart was broken. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to reply, "Sit and watch."

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, things have already happened. It's useless to discuss these things now. We can't change the decision of the Governor's Mansion at all.

The military orders for escorting the transportation of grain and grass have been issued. All we can do is to gain military exploits as much as possible while transporting grain and grass. "

Originally, Hudson was going to talk about getting benefits, but when he saw everyone's expressions were not so good, he temporarily changed it to fighting merits.

From the moment he received the military order, Hudson was thinking about how to maximize his profits. Asking a poor guy like him to transport food and grass, isn't this forcing people to go to Liangshan?

If he doesn't scrape off a layer of oil, wouldn't it look like he has no skills?

From the beginning, Hudson did not expect that he would be able to lead a ragtag group of people to kill all sides on the battlefield and make immortal achievements.

"To put it lightly, how can military merit be so easy to obtain?"

I don't know if he didn't hear the implication or if he was possessed by the spirit, but Baron Blodgett directly attacked him.

Rolling his eyes, Hudson decided not to behave like a reckless man, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Blodgett, the governor just ordered us to transport grain and grass, but there is no rule that we can't go out to do side jobs.

The rebels now occupy two counties, so they can't gather everyone together, right?

The main force of the rebels is being dragged by the four armies in front, so the rear must be empty.

After completing the escort mission, it is not difficult for us to recover several small towns controlled by the rebels. "

Hudson's words brightened the eyes of everyone who was originally desperate. Recovering a few small towns controlled by rebels is certainly not a great military achievement, but is it a matter of military achievement?

Recovering lost territory is second, and snatching the wealth from the rebels is the key. For nobles, going to the battlefield had two purposes: "war merit" and "making a fortune."

Now that there is not much hope for military exploits, one can only find ways to make a fortune. It can be said that in order to boost the morale of his allies, Hudson was also worried.

Dadir City, as the starting place of the rebels, was a bustling place in the past, but now only the autumn wind is left.

Conquering the world and governing the world are completely different concepts. Unfortunately, as a cult organization, Skull and Bones has no concept of governing the world at all.

In the city lord's palace, a group of senior Skull and Bones officials were glaring at each other, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.

"High Priest, we lost troops and generals at Ethel Fortress. Shouldn't you explain it?"

The middle-aged man in purple robe on the left was the first to make trouble.

"Explain, what kind of explanation do you want?"

"you……"

The gray-robed old man's indifferent reply made the purple-robed man so angry that he could not speak. The atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, and a fight was about to begin. The masked man sitting high in the chair suddenly interrupted:

"Okay! You are all middle and high-level people, but you still want to make noise like children. Is this ridiculous?

However, although what Iman said did not sound good, there is one thing that is right. The high priest really deserves an explanation from us for the battle of Ethel Fortress. "

Seeing the masked man speaking, the originally arrogant gray robe suddenly changed color, and he hurriedly explained: "Holy Lord, I was too greedy in the battle of Ethel Fortress.

Originally, they thought that the nobles were used to scheming and the reinforcements would not arrive on the same day, so they planned to lure out the Crimson Knights, hoping to rely on the power of the holy weapon to annihilate them all under the city.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's reinforcements came so quickly and caught us by surprise.

However, we will not suffer in this battle. Although the entire army was nearly wiped out, all those lost were cannon fodder. Use these cannon fodder in exchange for the enemy..."
