Chapter 170 Ambition
After entering the study, what greeted Hudson was not a questioning, but a huge map.

Maybe it was Viscount Oran's self-cultivation, or maybe he didn't take the daytime affair seriously, and directly dragged Hudson to the map.

From the small print on the label, it could be vaguely judged that this was the map of Fengyun Province, and Hudson immediately understood what was going on.

As unlucky brats, the headstrong provincial nobles stepped on a big thunder this time.

In order to complete the garrison mission, it is said that all the nobles in Fengyun Province have conducted a second conscription in the territory.

There are probably no less than 20 young adults who have been involved in this war.Even so, they barely held the line of defense with the help of reinforcements from the kingdom.

In the first round of the battle, he was beaten so badly.There is no doubt that all the nobles in Fengyun Province must have suffered bad luck this time.

If there were no miracles, many noble families would decline or even perish.

As an old neighbor, it is also necessary to help care and express condolences, there is absolutely no other meaning.

"The situation is difficult!

On the frontlines, anything can happen.

Viscount Hudson, are you ready for the challenge? "

Seeing the Viscount Oran expressing his feelings, Hudson wanted to reply - no!
The preparation work has been carried out so far, and it seems to have achieved initial results, but in fact, everyone knows that this is still far from enough.

The all-out war launched by the orcs has never been one wave.The Alpha Kingdom has reinforcements, and the Orc Empire also has reinforcements.

According to the usual practice, the orcs will not stop unless they consume all the tribes in the country.

If a race disappears from the Orc Empire due to war, don't be surprised, this is just a routine operation.

Maybe in a few years, the vanished race will reappear.In the interracial promiscuous orc empire, not to mention that new races are born every day, but some races must be added every month.

These races usually come and go in a hurry.Most of the rare races came to this world in a daze, and left the world in a daze.

In this level of war, the competition is based on the comprehensive strength of both sides, and it cannot be changed by the efforts of one or two nobles.

No matter how well prepared they are, they will only be an insignificant member on the battlefield, at most affecting local wars.

You can have no idea in your heart, but you must be confident in your mouth.Every outstanding nobleman is a qualified king with a strong mouth.

"Everything is unfolding step by step. If there is no accident in the middle, when I join the battle, I will bring at least [-] elite soldiers to the battlefield!"

The high-spirited voice, as if he already has [-] elites, ready to go out at any time.

In fact, the private army of the entire Koslow family, plus the private army of all the nobles in the county, could not gather [-] elites.

"Twenty thousand elites are not too small, but if they want to get through this war and gain something, I'm afraid it's still not enough.

According to the information from the frontline army, the total number of casualties of the noble private army in Fengyun Province has exceeded 1000, and the number of casualties alone is [-], among which more than [-] noble children died.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Fengyun Xingxing family contributed half of the casualties on the front line.It is said that in order to treat the wounded, many chaplains accompanying the army were tired and collapsed.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no way out and no way to surrender, they would have collapsed long ago.

This is the consequence of not being prepared!But as long as they put their heart and soul into training, this situation will not happen.

Poor Liufeng family, meeting an arrogant patriarch, this time I'm afraid it will be ruined!

All the nobles in the Fengyun Province have also been tricked by this guy.With so many nobles dead, this account is bound to be settled with them after the war.

The Liufeng family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is afraid that this time it will be devastated, and the inheritance may even be cut off directly. "

Intelligence is Hudson's shortcoming. Even if he wants to send someone to the front line, he can't get ahead in a short time.

Just ordinary officers of nobles, that is full cannon fodder.Don't say that he passed the information from the front line back in time, and he was lucky if he didn't die on the battlefield.

Being able to obtain detailed casualty battle reports, it is clear that the children of the Holliser family placed on the front line have a high status in the army, and may even be in a core position in the headquarters.

Viscount Oran is now talking about the Liufeng family, and he may feel the sorrow of the rabbit dead and the fox in his heart, but there is a high probability that he will not be so kind.

Looking at the map, you can tell that the west of Qiaomu County is Fengyun Province.Something happened to a good neighbor, and it is necessary to care about it.

After all, such opportunities are rare.It is not only the Liufeng family that is unlucky, all the nobles in the Fengyun Province have been trapped in a wave, and they are bound to fall into a period of weakness after the war.

With the Dalton family in the southeast province, there is no room for the Holliser family to go further. It is understandable to turn their attention to their neighbors who are doomed to decline.

As a powerful existence among the middle-level nobles, as long as there is not too much loss in the war, the probability of success for the Holliser family to take over the Fengyun Province is not low.

How to operate it does not need Hudson to worry about it.After all, his ancestors were also great nobles, so he didn't believe that Viscount Oran didn't know the rules of the upper-level political game.

Hudson had little interest in the plans of the Hollisle family.No matter how the Fengyun province changes, it will not be his turn to take a share.

Even ignoring the geographical difficulties, the Koslow family is unable to expand in Fengyun Province.Of course, there is still hope for just planning a knight collar or two.

It's just that it doesn't make sense, any territory in peacetime is precious.It was different during the war, when unclaimed territories were born almost every day.

In addition to sighing, Hudson has nothing but admiration.I have seen a prodigal, but I have never seen such a prodigal.

Before this battle, the head of the Liufeng family had a high reputation in the kingdom.

Among the feudal nobles, there are few families that can obtain the title of duke. The Liufeng family has always been the mainstay of the kingdom.

"Dear Viscount Oran, but has there been an accident on the front line? Under normal circumstances, as the defender of the city, the loss of noble officers should not be so great!"

Hudson asked suspiciously.

Losing tens of thousands of soldiers so quickly, he felt that the contemporary Duke Liufeng was a "talent".Changing a pig to command, as the defender of the city, may not cause such heavy casualties all at once.

Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but even the noble officers lost thousands of people at once. This is not just as simple as "talent", it is clearly "unrivaled genius".

"Humph!"

"Besides taking the initiative to attack out of control and being caught and beaten by the elite orc troops, can you think of a way to lose so many troops in a short period of time?"

Viscount Oran said with a look of contempt.

The Kingdom does not advocate taking the initiative to attack. It is not impossible to take the initiative to attack, but the premise is that you must win, and the worst is a tie.

The Windy Duke is obviously a negative example.I don't know which nerve is wrong, but he actually led the troops out of the city to play field battles with the orcs.

Fortunately, the Liufeng family was very powerful. After being defeated, they managed to hold the line of defense with a group of provincial nobles.

Otherwise, instead of waiting for the internal reckoning of the nobles after the war, the Kingdom will now hold him accountable for the unauthorized attack.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, the nobles of Fengyun Province did not dissuade them, and just looked at Duke Liufeng as confused?"

Hudson asked suspiciously.

It stands to reason that everyone should be very resistant to this kind of order to voluntarily die.

If it was left in the southeast province, if the governor dared to issue such a death order, he would probably have to bring his cronies to attack, and the rest of the nobles would not ignore him at all.

Administrative leadership cannot change the fact that the feudal nobles are all independent princes.Even the governor of a province has limited restrictions on the nobles.

Obedience to orders is established within the scope of the rules, and it cannot damage everyone's core interests.

The military order of "sending death" is obviously beyond the scope of everyone's tolerance, so it belongs to "random order".

The king's "disorderly life" may be dismissed down below, let alone the "disorderly life" of a governor.

"The situation in Fengyun province is different from our southeast province.

In recent years, the Liufeng family has expanded rapidly, occupying more than [-]% of the land in the province. Most of the county guards are from the Liufeng family, and it is purely the only one in the province.

Before this battle, Duke Liufeng's performance was still very good.In terms of personal prestige, it is far above our Earl Pierce.

Most of the county guards in various places are his confidantes, and in the Fengyun Province, they almost have everything they say.Even if other people found a problem, they didn't dare to confront him.

Dare to take the initiative to attack, Duke Liufeng is not completely messing around.

The overall quality of the army in Fengyun Province is not good, but there are still many elites among them.Under normal circumstances, encountering an army of orcs shouldn't be so miserable.

It's a pity that their luck was very bad. They encountered a Beamon army as soon as they solved the army of a ratman tribe.

Even if they have an advantage in military strength, they cannot make up for the gap in strength.Facing the Beamon Legion with over [-] troops, the coalition forces of the nobles in Fengyun Province soon suffered heavy losses.

Hudson, I know that your military ability is good, but the lesson of the blood of the Liufeng family must always be kept in mind.

As a last resort, extraordinary, don't confront the Beamon Legion head-on.Even the most elite troops in the Kingdom would have to muster several times the strength of the Behemoth Army before they dared to fight them.

Fortunately, the number of Beamon clan members is limited, and the chances of encountering their main force are small, otherwise the war would not be able to go on at all. "

Looking at Viscount Oran who was still in fear, Hudson instantly let go of his hanging heart.It’s good to know how to be in awe, but to be afraid is to be afraid of the kind of people who are obviously not good enough, but still think they are awesome.

The kingdom does not allow unauthorized attacks, perhaps it was also forced out by this kind of nobleman who thinks he is awesome.A Duke of Liufeng has deceived Fengyun Province. If there are more, the Alpha Kingdom will be left alone.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, Fengyun Province has suffered such a heavy loss, so the achievements shouldn't be small, right?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

Although he did not hold out much hope, he still hoped that a miracle would happen.If it can severely damage the Behemoth Legion, it will not be a loss for the entire kingdom to pay these losses.

"Don't fantasize! The casualties of the Beamon Legion are less than four digits, and even fewer were killed.

But if a few thousand Behemoths can be killed, then this battle will be an epic victory in the human race's counterattack against the orc invasion.

If a Behemoth army of ten thousand people can be wiped out, even if Duke Liufeng loses all the troops in Fengyun Province, the kingdom will take care of him! "

After hearing Viscount Oran's words, Hudson rolled his eyes directly.Annihilating a Beamon army of ten thousand people is simply a dream.

In the past hundreds of years, there have been only two cases in which the Beamon Legion was established and wiped out, and they were completed only after the arrival of reinforcements from various countries in the mainland.

For the price paid, there are only two words left in the history books-miserable!
If Duke Liufeng can do it, he will be a hero admired by hundreds of millions of people now, not a negative example.

Not to mention the group of soldiers who have not completed their training and rushed to the battlefield, even if they were replaced by the Kingdom's standing army, it would be difficult to defeat a Beamon army without ten times the strength.

If you want to fight a war of annihilation, unless Beamon foolishly rushes into the trap.Otherwise, if you can't win, can't you run?

Different from the human race, Bimon are all twins, one is "human" and the other is "beast".

Zhan Beast and Bimon are brothers, they grew up together, and their cooperation is completely intimate.

In terms of speed, it surpasses most human cavalry.Only a small number of high-quality horses can compete with them in speed.

Fast speed + strong fighting power, this is the reason why the Beamon family can occupy the head of the five royal families with a small population.

In fact, the five royal families of the Orc Empire are not constant.If a certain race falls into decline, it is also possible to be replaced by the following races.

The five royal families continued to launch southward invasion wars, not only to clean up the excess population in the country, but also to take the opportunity to weaken the powerful races in the country.

After one battle after another, the dominance of the five royal families was established.

Except for the five royal families, the number of other powerful races has always been kept at a low value, and it is difficult to increase.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, the strength of the nobles of Fengyun Province has been greatly weakened, and it is estimated that after completing the garrison mission, their strength will be further weakened.

What's more, there will be a second call-up and a third call-up later.I am afraid that before the war is over, they will have exhausted their vitality.

Duke Liufeng made a big mistake again. After the war, he will inevitably be separated from the nobles in the province, and a major reshuffle in Fengyun Province is inevitable.

Such a once-in-a-century opportunity, does the Holliser family have any ideas? "

Hudson asked straight to the point.

After chatting with the map for so long, Hudson didn't think that his father-in-law just wanted to discuss the situation on the battlefield with him.

Even if they really wanted to discuss it, they would discuss it slowly after giving him a slap in the face.

He even missed the chance to catch his pigtails, making it clear that there was an important matter to discuss, and Viscount Oran didn't care about pursuing his little things.

The topics all revolved around the Liufeng family. It was clear that the Holliser family saw that the southeastern province was difficult to expand, and wanted to find opportunities in the Fengyun province to return to the ranks of the great nobles.

"Duke Liufeng caused too much trouble this time, and the Fengyun Province is bound to fall into chaos after the war. In order to prevent the chaos from spreading to the southeast province, I will pay close attention to it.

However, if the situation in Fengyun Province after the war could not be stabilized for a long time, the Holliser family would still be willing to share the kingdom's worries. "

Viscount Oran said with a look of concern for the country and the people.

Seeing this scene, Hudson felt that he had learned it again.Obviously wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to expand, but insisting that it is to relieve the kingdom's worries.

It seems that if you want to do well in the aristocratic circle, you must develop a thick skin.A red face and a black heart are the correct way to open up.

As an ally, the Holliser family wants to expand abroad, and Hudson must support it without compromising their own interests.

It would be a good thing for Hudson if the Hollisle family returned to the ranks of the great nobles, and it would only be the Dalton family that needed to suffer.

However, looking at Viscount Oran's style, it is estimated that there will be no conflicts with the Dalton family at the threshold of wanting to take control of Fengyun Province, and maybe the two families will conduct secret transactions.

As a result, the nobles in the southeastern province must be careful.Without the support of the second family in the province, the original political balance is bound to be broken.

Facing the powerful Dalton family, the remaining mid-level nobles may not be able to form an alliance and continue to contend with it.

The dominance of one family is definitely not a good thing for the mountain leaders who are accumulating strength.

While thinking wildly, Hudson suddenly came to his senses.All the private nobles in the southeast province have not yet entered the battlefield. Who knows what will happen on the battlefield?
If you are unlucky, you will be beaten up by orcs like Fengyun Xingxing, and it will be too late to protect yourself, so there is no need to think about it.

It's not bad for everyone to be damaged together, just to pull down the horizontal line together, and the balance can still be maintained.In order to block outside peepers, everyone can join forces.

In case only a few lose heavily and the others don't, that's the real problem.

In a short period of time, everyone may look at it for the sake of allies, and feel embarrassed to attack their own people.

As time goes on, the emotion gradually fades away. Driven by interests, conflicts are inevitable.

Everything is uncertain, but Hudson is not worried.Compared with other nobles, the mountain leaders don't have so much to lose.

The core interests are the mining area and the wasteland that has been opened up.It is not so easy for others to come and grab it.

As long as he was alive and Bear Stearns was in charge, there would be no problem in keeping his foundation.

The foundation is not lost, and it is easy to restore military strength.As long as the soldiers are not wiped out by an established army, it will take a year or so to recover.

"Your Excellency, the Viscount, you are really a role model for me. The feeling of worrying about the country and the people is worth learning from. If necessary, the Koslow family can also help!"

Hudson immediately wrote a bad check.As for whether to honor it, and to what extent to provide support, it depends on the development of the situation.

　Remarks: Noble children are not equal to noble family heads, a family can have multiple children serving in the service.When the nobles are old, their sons can also serve instead.
