king.

Chapter 257 See You Again

Without exchanging a few pleasantries, Earl Lauren directly expressed his intention.Hudson didn't find it strange that the expeditionary force was renamed the Southeast Front Army.

They all returned to the mainland, and it has nothing to do with the fact that the expedition is a copper coin. If they continue to hang the banner of "Aiding the Moxi Principality Expeditionary Army", it will become nondescript.

Urge the southeast front army to quickly quell the refugee tide and go north immediately. There is not a single star behind it.

It was hard to find an excuse to keep Hudson in the rear, and now let him go to the front line, which is clearly a tiger into the jungle.

If there are a few more victories, Hudson's right to speak in the distribution of the cake after the war will definitely increase greatly.

With a little bit of luck, it is easy to become a military leader, and it is not so simple to suppress it.

As a qualified king, under normal circumstances, he would not participate in the infighting among his courtiers.Even if internal conflicts intensify, Caesar III should also appear as an arbitrator.

Making such a decision now is a slap in the face for the nobles who originally wanted to suppress Hudson.

If it is interpreted politically, it means that their right to speak in the court has declined.

Once this chain reaction starts, the subsequent development of the situation will be out of control.It is estimated that the few companies that made the move will most likely be scolded in anger.

"Earl Lauren, where is the situation on the front line?"

Hudson asked concerned.

If the pie falls from the sky, it can kill people.

There is no unreasonable love and hate in this world. Unless the situation on the front line is dangerous, Caesar III has no reason to risk offending those families and push him over.

"Earl Hudson misunderstood. The situation on the front line is still under the control of the kingdom. The Northern Expeditionary Army is retreating, and has not yet had a major battle with the enemy.

Now the southeast front army is being summoned to go north, mainly because they are worried that the orcs will suddenly change their attack direction and launch a sneak attack while the kingdom's troops are empty.

For the safety of the kingdom, Your Excellency should end the war in the southern part of the kingdom as soon as possible, and send troops to the north as soon as possible to prepare for any eventuality. "

After listening to Earl Lauren's explanation, Hudson rolled his eyes secretly, this rhetoric was too perfunctory.

How hard is the head of the orcs to continue to invade the Alpha Kingdom at this time?

Even if you are not afraid of being shut down and beaten, you still have to consider the reaction of the Human Race Alliance!

As long as they gain the upper hand on the battlefield, the second batch of reinforcements from the Terran Alliance will come soon.

He was beaten by the society just now, and after seeing the gap in strength between the two sides, if he came to provoke him again, he would be really tired of life.

At the very least, if Hudson is the king of the orcs, he will shrink back and play defensive battles at this moment.Playing and stopping, not pursuing a big victory, as long as you can delay time is enough.

The memory of human beings is short. As long as it drags on for a few days, the determination of the major forces of the human race to destroy the orcs will be wiped out in the long battle.

After this catastrophe is over, let's talk about the future.

The overlord of the mainland should not be humiliated lightly. If he pokes the basket and set himself on fire, he has to let the resentment in his heart be given out.

"Earl Lauren, every move of the orc army is closely watched by the kingdom. It is almost impossible for them to launch a sneak attack.

The few provinces that have just been recovered are now a piece of white land, which just serves as a buffer.

With this transitional period, the castle fortress in the rear is presumably ready.It shouldn't be a big problem to delay the pace of the orc army.

Your Excellency can rest assured that the southeast front army has settled the rebellion and pacified the rioters, and then rushed over to reinforce, there will be enough time in time! "

Hudson said cooperatively.

Pretend to be stupid, who can't!

The kingdom has deployed so many defense lines in the north, even if the main force is exhausted, there are still a large number of serf soldiers staying behind.

There is a strong city blocking the way in front, and there is the main force of the returning kingdom behind. Only fools attack the city under such circumstances.

No matter how warlike the orcs were, they had to deal with the main force of the kingdom before thinking about attacking the city.Otherwise, if the city is not captured, the back road will be cut off first.

Earl Lauren was about to say something, but swallowed it back.The two had dealt with each other once, and he knew how difficult Hudson was.

Once the person in front of him has made up his mind, he, the envoy, cannot control him.To do Hudson's ideological work, Earl Lauren doesn't think he has the qualifications.

For a mission, to offend a powerful nobleman, there is no guarantee that the mission will be completed smoothly, it is purely a proper loss-making transaction.

Anyway, he has already brought it, and if he didn't achieve his goal, it was because the king's face was not big enough to make the other party give up the benefits he had obtained.

In fact, Hudson did a lot more than Earl Lauren expected.

Privately embezzling prisoners of war is just an inconspicuous little operation.In order to capture more prisoners of war, the Southeast Front Army has crossed the national border and went to help neighbors quell civil unrest for free.

It has nothing to do with whether you are patriotic or not. The main reason is that the mountainous territories have a large demand for prisoners of war.Without capturing enough prisoners of war, Hudson's private actions crossed the line.

Generally speaking, in this super easy war against chaos, the commander-in-chief can decide [-]% to [-]% of the spoils, and the rest will be distributed by the kingdom.

The specific ratio shall be determined according to the actual situation.Being able to decide the distribution of so many spoils does not mean that Hudson can directly embezzle them.

The nobles who participated in the war under his command must give a share.The great nobles who came to the door had to be given part of it. These people did not contribute to this war, but they controlled the right to speak in the kingdom.

This is not over yet, if relatives and old friends come to the door, they will inevitably get a share.

All are prepared, and the remaining share is Hudson's own.

Under normal circumstances, the proportion of the coach will not exceed [-]%, plus all members of the Koslow family, then at most one-fifth will be taken away.

The share of the cake cannot be increased, but the size of the cake can be changed by Hudson.

Sending troops for free to help neighboring countries quell rebellions, this kind of fearless international spirit is definitely worth admiring.In theory, there is nothing wrong with it.

As for the issue of prisoners of war, that is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.It is entirely possible to wait for everyone to sit together after the war and discuss slowly.

The return of prisoners of war will definitely happen. The final specific number depends on their respective operations.

Hudson doesn't care about the subsequent troubles.The great nobles who want to take advantage of it will naturally respond to the demands of other countries.

As the largest human country in the northern continent, the Alpha Kingdom still has a bit of a reputation.Such a small conflict should not be a problem.

What's more, these neighbors had previously placed Kingdom together.It was agreed that everyone would join forces to fight against the orc invasion. When the war really broke out, all kinds of excuses came up one by one.

In a sense, the Beamon cavalry went to these small countries to stir up the situation, and the kingdom was happy to see the results.

The longer the hand stretches, the more time it will take.The southeast front army has not been able to quell the civil unrest for a long time. This is the most important factor.

It's a pity that this kind of good business is destined to not last long.Hudson is willing to help for free, but the nobles in his country are not stupid!

Even if you didn't see it at first, when groups of prisoners of war were escorted to the Alpha Kingdom, everyone should wake up.

Realizing that the southeast front army was robbing their population, nobles from nearby countries became active in suppressing the rioters.

One by one, they no longer cared about killing people with a knife, and tried their best to quell the turmoil in the shortest possible time, and did not give the southeast front army a chance to intervene.

……

After finishing his official duties, Hudson stepped into the mansion of Viscount Oran again.Compared with before, the current viscount is much more heavily guarded.

It is estimated that they are aware of the instability of the situation, and they are worried that someone will come to take advantage of the situation and rob them, so they took precautions in advance.

As an in-law, Hudson is also considered half of his own family and directly entered the inner courtyard.

No one came out to greet them. It wasn't that Hudson's card was small, but it was because the hostesses were all on the front line, and it was inconvenient for the hostess who stayed at home to show her face.

"Hudson, this way!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Hudson looked in the direction of the sound, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Next to him was a middle-aged lady with a teenager about ten years old, watching him from the side.

After not seeing each other for a year, Hudson was about to reach out to hug his fiancée when he suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly retracted his half-stretched hand.

"Madame Narcissa, Sir Locke, Hudson sends his greetings to you!"

In front of his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, Hudson is not crazy yet.

"Hudson, and me?"

Realizing that she had been missed, Melissa said dissatisfiedly.

"Beautiful and charming Miss Melissa, Hudson sends you hello!"

While speaking, the guards who followed behind took out the gift prepared in advance and handed it to the maid beside him.

"It's almost there!"

Melissa pouted and said.Hudson couldn't help but want to pinch that pink and tender little face.

It's a pity that the occasion was wrong, he had to be polite.Even if the two are fiancées, etiquette among nobles is still indispensable.

"Welcome our hero, the Earl of Hudson. The Hollisle family will be proud of your arrival!"

Madam Narcissa smiled back.

The selected potential stocks directly soared into the sky, which is definitely something worth celebrating for investors.

Originally, when this marriage was decided, there were still many criticisms from the outside world, thinking that the Holliser family had really declined, and had fallen to the point of looking for "potential stocks" to gamble.

Soon the situation was reversed, and before everyone knew what happened, Hudson jumped up from below.

The speed of the rise is too fast, so fast that everyone wants to suppress it, but it is too late to do so.

The potential stocks skyrocketed, and the Holliser family obviously won the gamble.Originally, I just wanted to use the force of the Earth Bear, but I didn't expect Hudson to perform too well.

A front army commander is already treated like a governor of a province.The most important thing is that the southeast front army in Hudson's hands is still all veterans who have come down from the battlefield, and more than half of them are elites.

In terms of real combat power, it is obviously far beyond the military power of a province.Coupled with the effect of "famous general halo", the weight in the eyes of the outside world is even heavier.

It's hard to sustain an awkward chat without nutrition.After a few polite words with Madam Narcissa, Hudson decisively chose to communicate with Melissa alone.

It's a pity that there is an extra follower behind him, the young little Locke, like a troubled boy, pestering him all the way to ask questions.

After a little brainstorming, Hudson knew that this was deliberately arranged by Mrs. Narcissa.I guess I hope the youngest son can have a good relationship with him, and it would be even better if he could learn some art of war along with him.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they are arranged to monitor them, so as not to leave any loopholes for Hudson to exploit.

But it didn't bother him, in less than a cup of tea, he flicked away the unsightly Locke.

Finally able to get along alone, Hudson didn't know what to say, a typical lack of love cells.

If it weren't for the unique charm brought by the status of a strong man, coupled with the traditional arranged marriage system, he doubted very much whether he would be able to find the right half.

"Don't you want to say something to me?"

Melissa asked angrily.
