Chapter 275

"Report!"

"Count, I found a team that broke out fifty miles ahead. It seems to be the coalition of nobles in the southeastern province, and they are currently being hunted down by the orc army."

Hearing this news, the air became tense.They all stared at Hudson as if there was something in his face.

"No matter which army it is, send someone to inform them first, and let them stand still and wait for help.

After passing the order, after resting in place for two hours, the army pulled out of camp and set off.

You all go down and prepare, don't delay the rescue time. "

Hudson ordered without changing his face.

Everyone's mouths became O-shaped, obviously the words came to their lips, but they finally swallowed them back.

All the subordinates left, but Nelson and Evora, who were brothers, stayed behind.Obviously, they were also full of doubts.

"There are no outsiders here now, so if you want to ask anything, just say it! There is no need to hide it!"

After receiving Hudson's signal, Evora, who was impatient at first, couldn't help asking immediately, "Hudson, are we really going to save them?"

A pride of lions cannot accommodate two king lions.

The southeastern province is destined to have only one boss.As latecomers, the Koslow family either chose to leave and start another business, or challenge the Dalton family.

Compared with the difficulty of starting a new business, the mature southeastern province is obviously more attractive.

Simply considering the economic situation, the southeast province can surpass the sum of three or four provinces in the north, and this is still based on the development.

With the current strength of the Koslow family, they simply do not have the ability to develop a northern province.All branches invested at all costs, and Dingtian also developed a county in the north.

Only a fool would choose to come to the north for development if there are better options.With the same cost input, Hudson might as well use it to develop the swamp.

After so many years, taking back the ancestral land has long become a slogan to unite the family's solidarity.Except for the older generation, the younger generation hardly liked the Northland.

Now the opportunity has come, as long as they don't save themselves and sit back and watch the Dalton family have an accident, the Koslow family can take advantage of the trend.

For the nobles in the province, that can only be regarded as their bad luck.What's more, as a new political faction, Hudson also needs a place to house his younger brother.

Being able to take advantage of the opportunity to kill people with a knife and cleanse the interior of the southeastern province is simply perfect.

"Nonsense, I have issued all orders, can I go back on my word?"

Hudson replied bluntly.

This kind of unnutritious words can be asked. He very much doubts whether Evola's brain is not fully developed.

Most of the time, he wondered why there was such a big gap between the children born to the same parents.

The boss, Nelson, has eyes all over his body. Although he was limited by his childhood education and his horizons were limited, his overall ability is still good.

When it comes to Evora, it goes straight to the other extreme.He can move anything, but he can't use his brain. He is a proper reckless man.

"Hudson, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, if you want to meet again next time, then..."

Before Nelson could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "Opportunities and risks always exist together.

The decline of the Dalton family is indeed what I want to see, but it is definitely not now, let alone decline in this situation.

There are not only our people in this army, but also people from many other forces, including people from the Dalton family.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, if I make excuses and refuse to send troops to rescue, what do you think will happen?
What's more, even if the Dalton family is really finished, we will be able to swallow the benefits left by them?
Don't have such a sweet dream!

With the background of the Koslow family, it is already the limit to support a middle-class noble family.Now every step forward, we have to face obstacles.

The more we come to this kind of time, the more cautious we have to be.Especially in the face of interests, we must abide by our duties.

What other great nobles can do does not mean that we can do it now.As a new member, before integrating into the circle and building your own network, the most important thing is your duty!
We should not touch things that we should never touch!If you touch it, it will be the end of our Koslow family.

You must know that since the establishment of the kingdom, there has not been a single noble family that has climbed up from a small nobleman all the way.The ups and downs among the great nobles all happened within the great nobles.

Do you think they would welcome us in? "

Although the cake is big, the Koslow family's teeth are not good.Wanting to swallow the southeast province in one gulp is purely like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Even if the allied forces of the nobles in the southeastern province were wiped out, the power left in their lair would be enough to drag the Koslow family down.

This kind of "power" is not only military strength, but also political influence and personal connections.

As long as he was willing to pay the price, with the connections of the veteran nobles, he could easily bring in a bunch of reinforcements.

These people can be domestic or foreign.The Alpha Kingdom's vitality has been seriously injured, but it does not mean that the nobles of all ethnic countries have suffered heavy losses.

The influence of a giant like the Dalton family has not been limited to the Alpha Kingdom for a long time, and it also has a lot of connections in other countries on the mainland.

If the relationship network is not strong enough, there is no way to carry out cross-border maritime trade.

Hudson didn't even dare to act casually without knowing other people's hole cards.Even if it is done in secret, it has to be done in secret.

Before integrating into the circle of great aristocrats, Hudson must be a great and respected aristocrat, and must not leave any handles to the outside world.

……

On the banks of Xueyue Lake, the coalition army of nobles from the southeastern provinces was still caught by the orc cavalry.

The distance between the two sides has been shortened to less than ten miles. It can be said that the orcs can catch up with one charge.

Suddenly, two human cavalry galloped towards the army from a distance.Before the person arrived, the voice had already passed over.

"Listen to the troops ahead: We are ordered by the Earl of Hudson to inform you to stand on the spot and reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Hearing the news, Earl Pierce didn't feel the slightest bit of relief, but instead looked disgusted.

The infantry in the coalition army can't outrun the cavalry, "stand still and wait for help", it sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

The prerequisite is that both parties can trust each other.

But what the two sides lack most now is trust.

Who would foolishly save their enemies?

Even if it is necessary to send troops to rescue, it will be all kinds of passive sabotage.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Southeastern Provincial Front, Earl Pierce. Before you set off, did the rescue army set off?"

After Earl Pierce reported himself, he asked a tentative question.The messenger, who didn't know what he said, replied honestly: "The army is resting, and it will arrive in two hours."

Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with starting after a two-hour rest.

After all, people are not machines, and soldiers have to recover before the war.It's not an urgent moment, and it's not a problem to delay for a few hours by forming an array and standing still.

"Go back and tell Earl Hudson that we will wait for him here and let him speed up."

Earl Pierce said with a slight smile.

It's just that the unnatural corners of the mouth made the smile full of sarcasm.It's a pity that not two messengers can understand all of this.

"Dear Earl, what you mean, we will definitely convey the truth to Earl Hudson."

After speaking, the two of them rode away without the slightest hesitation.Bringing professionalism to the extreme.

Watching the two disappear into the sky, Earl Pierce glanced back at the noble officers behind him and said, "You all heard the conversation just now.

The reinforcements are still resting, and they will leave after two hours of rest.Considering the distance between us, we can meet each other within three hours at the fastest.

In order to shorten the meeting time, we can't just wait here.Send the order to let the army speed up and join the reinforcements as soon as possible! "

They said it was converging, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is a "slight" deviation between the path chosen by Earl Pierce and the direction in which the messenger left.

As for the direction, the starting point is a "little bit" deviation, and after a certain distance, it becomes a "billion point" deviation.

There was no question that Pierce could not trust Hudson's promised rescue.The thing that pitted teammates on the battlefield happened not only once or twice in the Kingdom's army.

If it is true that they stand still and wait for help, in case Hudson plays some tricks and deliberately leads the army to go a little bit in the wrong direction, and fails to arrive at the scheduled location at the scheduled time, it is justified.

It is very normal to get lost in an unfamiliar land.The most serious consequence is nothing more than dumping the blame on a certain leading soldier who "died in battle".

Knowing that Hudson might lead the team astray, Earl Pierce decided to give him a positive.After proper analysis, he decisively chose a path that was most likely to be encountered in the middle.

There is no way, no matter how you look at Hudson, it is not pleasing to the eye.Before encountering other reinforcements from the kingdom, this team was still their life-saving straw.

As long as the orc army is brought to the frontier guards, Hudson can't help watching the fun.As for the meeting of the two armies, Earl Pierce still rejected it.

Everything is an interest, and now Hudson is the commander in chief of the enemy, controlling all the kingdom's troops on the front line.

Although the Northern Expeditionary Army does not belong to the frontier defense force, as the front-line coach, Hudson can still forcibly order them to join the war.

To be a head short of others is a big deal to laugh it off; to be a head short of Hudson is a serious political accident.

It will directly affect the ranks of nobles in the southeastern provinces.Except for the die-hard supporters, everyone else will become hesitant to stand in line, instead of falling to the Dalton family unconditionally now.

If it's just these small troubles, Earl Pierce can still find a way to solve them. What worries him most is the safety issue.

It's too easy for the coach to wear small shoes for his subordinates.If the strength in his hand is not damaged, he can still not buy Hudson's account, and even openly sing the opposite.

Unfortunately not now.With only a few remnants of the aristocratic coalition forces in the southeastern provinces, it is difficult to win much right to speak.

……

Time flies, two hours passed in a flash, according to the previous agreement, the rescue army embarked on the journey mightily.

As a coach who keeps his promises, Hudson will naturally abide by the agreement.The only difference is that the army did not gallop all the way on the horses, but struggled on the backs of the weak horses.

Saving the stamina of the horses is what all cavalry units must face.

Even though many warhorses in the army have the blood of monsters, their stamina and explosive power have been greatly improved, but more of them are ordinary warhorses that are lagging behind.

It just so happened that it was these ordinary horses that were holding back the speed of the army.It is natural to use rough horses to travel in the army, which has become the best choice.

It doesn't matter that the army is slow.If you can send troops to rescue in time, you have fulfilled your obligation.

"Count, something is wrong! The coalition of nobles in the southeastern province has disappeared."
