Chapter 314 The Waterproof Knife

"What, Red Dragon signed a contract with Earl Hudson?"

Morrison asked in disbelief.

Everyone entered the Ula Mountains to catch the dragon, and Hudson came back half a day before them.As a result, in such a short time, the red dragon became someone else's mount.

If he had known that this dragon was so easy to subdue, he would fight on behalf of the royal family no matter what.

Morrison is so old that he will not be able to live well for a few years, and he will definitely not need it.But the royal family needs it!

The reputation of Crown Prince Caesar is so bad, if he can regain a giant dragon, he can also regain his prestige and restore his lost reputation.

It's too late to say anything now, the contract has already been signed, and there is no possibility of repentance.

"Yes, Mr. Morrison. The red dragon was sent back to the barracks, and soon after he was bound with iron chains, the red dragon woke up.

Earl Hudson went over to check the situation in person, and the Red Dragon took the initiative to conclude a contract with him.He became his own dragon, so His Excellency the Earl ordered to release the red dragon to go back to recuperate. "

The words of the noble officer are obviously a message that Hudson deliberately released to the outside world.

This is his camp, without the nod of his commander, the face of a priest is not enough to make the noble officers under his command say anything.

Without any accident, Morrison was choked to death.The famous scene in the legend actually happened in front of my eyes. This kind of psychological gap is unbearable for normal people.

Although he didn't want to believe all of this, the facts were in front of him, so he couldn't help but believe it.

Reminiscent of the classic story of Hudson picking up bears on the way, it seems reasonable to harvest another dragon.

This kind of unstoppable luck, if it is said that there is no divine favor, he would not believe it.

"Understood, report the news to the little guy Affielo, let him come and deal with it!"

Morrison said tiredly.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As an antique of the royal family, he is over 170 years old. No matter how well maintained he is, he will not live for a few days.

If you worry about these things again, the time to die will only be faster.Sky Knight is not Chinese cabbage, the royal family still needs to exist to support it!
When the voice fell to the ground, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Old ancestor, I already know. It's just that this matter is not easy to handle. The addition of an extra dragon will indeed improve the strength of the kingdom.

But this red dragon attacked the barracks before and set fire to a large number of material warehouses.The alliance investigation team will definitely suspect that we are deliberately acting! "

Archduke Effiero said with a depressed face.

It is a good thing for the kingdom to increase in strength, but he would rather not have this way of improvement.

Originally, Hudson's reputation in the country was soaring very quickly. He was completely invincible among his peers, and he couldn't find anyone who wanted to support him in the ring.

The current Koslow family is weak and can still suppress it, but what about after three to fifty years?
At that time, Hudson will still be at his peak, and the older generation in the kingdom will almost recede. He is simply a "power minister seedling" chosen by heaven.

What's even worse is the quasi-power minister, who is particularly lucky.Although I haven't heard of going out to pick up gold coins, but people can pick up monsters!
First the Earth Bear, and now the Dragon.If he had nothing to do and went to the Warcraft Mountains every now and then, he didn't know how much he would gain.

As for the trouble with the alliance investigation team, it is purely an excuse.Originally, the other party came here to find fault, and they would find an entry point after all.

Unless all the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are willing to abandon the orc prairie and not extend their tentacles here, they are destined to be in constant trouble.

"Okay, Ai Fierro! You can take care of these little problems yourself, don't bring me with you.

Anyway, the dragon has been captured, and the task of the enshrining group is completed.You can figure out the rest by yourself. "

After speaking, Morrison turned and left directly.

The stimulation he received today was too great, he needed to go back and be quiet.This is not good when you are old, and you can't stand the stimulation.

Seeing this scene, a wry smile appeared on the face of Grand Duke Efiero.If there is a good way, he doesn't have to worry about it.

To deal with the special existence of Hudson, the royal family must not only reuse it, but also restrict and suppress it. It is a balance to play.

Among them, the speed is the most difficult to control.A little carelessness can lead to catastrophe in the end.

……

Inside the handsome tent, Hudson and Archduke Effiero sat facing each other, drinking tea leisurely as if they were close friends.

"Congratulations to Earl Hudson, becoming the fourth dragon knight on the mainland! This is the glory of our Alpha Kingdom, and His Majesty will be very happy when he finds out."

Hudson rolled his eyes secretly after hearing the words of Grand Duke Afiero, it would be a ghost if Caesar III could be happy.

Originally, he was too fast to be feared, but now that he came out like this again, the danger level must have risen in a straight line.

"Ha ha……"

"It's all luck! Maybe it was the previous battle that broke the Red Dragon's brain. As soon as I went to investigate, he cried and shouted to sign a contract with me."

It's okay if you don't explain it, but as soon as this explanation came out, Grand Duke Affiero became more and more depressed.

If the Red Dragon was really brain-destroyed and contracted the problem of signing contracts with people, the royal family would really suffer a lot in this wave.

But that's just thinking about it.Although there are many wonderful histories of the Dragon Clan, it has never happened that after being brain-destroyed, they took the initiative to pull people to sign a contract.

"Your Excellency the Earl is still the most charming, if someone else goes there, it may be a different ending.

But the red dragon has become our dragon, and the alliance investigation team may not be able to explain it.This time they are not good people, Your Excellency the Earl must be prepared to deal with it. "

Archduke Effiero changed the subject.

It seems to be reminding Hudson to be prepared, but in fact it is telling him that since the red dragon has been turned into a mount, he has to deal with the disasters caused by the red dragon before.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke, the alliance investigation team came here this time, mainly to track down the reselling of military supplies. The previous fire dragon burning warehouse case was just a small case caught in it.

The logistics department has already investigated this series of cases.It just involves the face of the kingdom, so far I haven't figured out how to deal with it next.

Now we have two choices:
Either do the fire dragon burning storehouse case, admit that the defenders were dereliction of duty, and erase the matter of reselling military supplies.The kingdom will pay for the loss of the alliance, and finally the nobles who resell the military supplies will pay for the matter.

Either the logistics department will directly hand over the evidence in its hands to the alliance investigation team.Among them, there are not only the reselling of military supplies, but also the criminal evidence that someone funded and invited Red Dragon to burn down the empty warehouse.

Your Excellency, you are also one of the witnesses.Judging from the situation at the scene that day, there was not a grain of grain or a handful of weapons wreckage in the ruins of the destroyed warehouse...even the dust on the ground was pitifully small! "

Hudson unceremoniously used the method of dumping the pot.

It is impossible to be taken advantage of. The goal of the alliance investigation team is the Alpha Kingdom, not the Red Dragon.

As long as the case of reselling military supplies is settled, the alliance has no reason to hold on to the red dragon.Rules are only used to restrain people, not dragons.

Once the evidence is thrown out, the alliance investigation team has no time to waste time on the red dragon.

After all, the Dragon Clan still has some cards on the continent of Aslante.

Unless they were really driven into a hurry, no great nobleman was willing to take the risk of revenge and slay the dragon.

What Hudson said before to fool the Red Dragon was pure nonsense.

Slaughtering a dragon in secret, maybe everyone would dare to do it, killing a giant dragon openly, everyone would worry about being retaliated by the dragon clan.

The tiger skin of the Terran Alliance, just take it out and brag about it.The power of the giant dragon is not only reflected in the combat effectiveness of a single player, but the high mobility of others is the most powerful.

Dozens of giant dragons formed a group, caught a family force and exported it fiercely, waiting for reinforcements from the Human Race Alliance to rush over to help collect the corpses would be a bit overwhelming.

As long as it doesn't go too far and just retaliates against the forces involved, it will be difficult for the divided human race to muster up the courage to start a full-scale war with the dragon race.

The ball was kicked to his side, and the smiling face of Archduke Efiero collapsed.I've heard of Hudson's difficulty for a long time, but I didn't expect that things are really tight.

It seems that two choices are given, but in fact, two holes are dug in the front and back, and you have to jump into the hole when you advance or retreat.

With internal processing, face is saved.But the Human Race Alliance will definitely not sell it.There is a high probability that the Alpha Kingdom will be forced to make major concessions before they will be let go.

Directly handing over the evidence of reselling military supplies to the alliance investigation team is undoubtedly breaking the rules of the game.

Not only was the kingdom's face trampled on the ground and rubbed, but it also aroused strong dissatisfaction among the nobles in the country.

"May I ask Earl Hudson, how many military supplies did those guys in the Northland resell?"

Archduke Affiero asked with concern.

It’s not scary to have problems, it’s scary not to solve them.If the hole left is small, everyone can work hard to fill it.

"Dear Grand Duke, I'm afraid only they themselves know how many military supplies they have resold.

But here I have a partial list of their reselling military supplies.The total value of these incomplete statistics alone will not be less than 1000 million gold coins if calculated according to the current market price. "

Hudson deliberately changed the concept and said.

As a banker of the black market, it is not 100% clear who resold the materials and how many materials were resold, but the statistical data generally does not have too much error.

1000 million gold coins sounds scary, that's because the current transaction price in the market was originally speculated by the investigative team.

If you put it another way, the amount of profit from reselling military supplies, the figure has shrunk to between 150 million and 180 million gold coins.

Split into five major families, each with more than 30 gold coins.In just a few months, so much money has been made, which is really too much.

But the money was not swallowed by a certain duke alone.The younger brothers below are also sharing the benefits.

The darkest northern nobles only have such a big appetite.Generally speaking, the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom still have some integrity.

Everyone did extend their hands to the logistics supplies of the coalition forces, but at least the bottom line is still sticking to it.

If not, everyone would not be able to make up the gap in time after receiving the news of the investigation team's arrival.

The nobles of the North took the risk. On the one hand, they really didn’t have so many supplies on the front line, so they could fill the gap for everyone; on the other hand, their holes were too big. .

Grand Duke Afiero, who was confused by the figure of 1000 million gold coins without caring about the details, pondered for a while and said slowly:
"Earl Hudson, this is a big matter, and I can't make up my mind for a while. Why don't we hold a meeting of the logistics department first and let everyone discuss and decide?"

It should have been reported to the king, but as a good courtier, Archduke Afiero was obviously unwilling to throw this hot potato to Caesar III to embarrass him.

It is destined to offend the northern nobles to death, and it is better for the coach Hudson to take the blame.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that it wasn't that bad that Hudson got the red dragon mount.

If it weren't for this giant dragon, it is estimated that the young commander in front of him would continue to pretend to be confused, and it would be impossible to directly turn against the nobles of the Northland.

However, I have to admit that the knife that Hudson is handing out now is accurate to the right time, place and people and control.

If in the earlier days, when everyone had a pile of holes, whoever came out to expose the reselling of military supplies would be everyone's enemy.

The current situation is obviously different.Except for the guys from the Northland, the other nobles in the kingdom have almost filled their pits.

Now is the time when everyone dislikes the nobles of the North.Why do they have to cut meat to make up for the deficit, with the exception of the northern nobles?

It's fine to play a rogue, at least you have to be smarter.Now that you have been caught, you have to take responsibility.

In the final analysis, it was the northern nobles who caused this disaster.Even if Geoff disappeared, it wouldn't change the fact that he came from the Lochnard family.

The most important thing is that the nobles of the Northland usually offend many people in the kingdom in order to rob resources, and a large group of nobles want to add insult to injury.

But their most important enemy is King Caesar III.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, the logistics department has already made a conclusion on this matter. In the last logistics meeting, we set the tone: if it can be handled internally, we will handle it internally.

All the relevant evidence of the Northland nobles reselling military supplies, buying the Red Dragon and setting fire to the vacant warehouses were all in this box.

In addition, some time ago, several dukes of the North had secretly contacted people from the Holy See.It is not known exactly what was discussed, but soon the assassination case broke out in the capital.

Of course, these are just guesses.It can't be used as evidence, Grand Duke, don't take it to heart. "

Hudson took eye medicine unceremoniously.

It's just talk to show the evidence to the ethnic alliance investigation team.Even if the meeting of the logistics department can pass, he can't do that.

Every circle has its own rules. Hudson is an aristocrat of the Alpha Kingdom, not a nobleman of the Human Alliance. When it comes to issues of principle, he must sit upright.

In order to avoid being tricked by others, he did not hesitate to set the tone as early as possible to deal with it internally.Perhaps it was this tone that prompted the northern nobles to take such risks.

After all, reselling military supplies is a thing of the past.Account books and warehouses were burned, and they had the final say on how much supplies were lost.

As long as his own people don't come forward to report, it will be extremely difficult for the investigation team to find evidence.

You must know that after the warehouse burning case broke out, they specially sent someone to notify Honglong to go overseas to avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, Maxim is a swindler, and he promised to be good, but in fact he didn't take their warnings to heart.

In Red Dragon's view, even if he can't beat him, can he still beat him?
If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game.

Hudson, who didn't want to pay for it himself, could only export it to the nobles of the North.As for the problem of offending people, I can't care so much anymore.

He is the commander in chief of a frontal armed conflict. If the nobles of the Northland dare to fight, it will be a rebellion, and they will surely kill themselves.

He sent someone to carry out the assassination. He had the Earth Bear and the Giant Dragon as bodyguards. It is estimated that no assassin organization would accept such a death order.

"Okay, Earl of Hudson. I will truthfully report this matter to the king. If the alliance investigation team comes to inquire, please find a way to delay the time first!"

Archduke Affiero said helplessly.

Meeting a watertight opponent, the plan to let Hudson pull the hatred alone was shattered before it had time to start.

After this incident, if it is said that this action against the nobles of the North was not the conspiracy of Hudson and the king, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

As soon as the war was over, if they returned to the fief directly with their troops, even if the northern nobles wanted to retaliate, they would not be able to reach out so far.

There is a high probability that this account will be charged to the king. After all, after recovering several provinces in the northern border, the royal leaders are about to surround the fiefs of the five major families in the northern region.

In terms of area, one family is stronger than five.Once developed, the power of the royal family will surely reach a new height.

Originally, it could also rely on the northward expansion to break this passive situation.

But as soon as the reselling of military supplies happened, the ready-made handle was sent to the king. If Caesar III didn't ruthlessly cut them, they would all be blessed by the Lord of the Dawn, and he wanted to obtain a new fief, so go ahead and dream!

It's useless to make trouble, except for themselves, all the nobles in the kingdom hope that there will be one less share of the cake.On this issue, everyone will stand with the king.

One can imagine how miserable the future will be for the five major families of the North Land who sit back and wait to die and become sandwich biscuits.

If they were not really forced to, the northern nobles would not have played a disgraceful role in the previous assassination case.

In fact, they were too jealous of Caesar III and wanted to change to a foolish king.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke, I will try my best to delay the time. But after all, the investigation team represents the Human Race Alliance. They want to intervene in the investigation, and I can't bear the pressure.

Over there in the capital, you better remind me.Otherwise, if the investigation team finds out something, it will be a big trouble! "

Hudson said it was troublesome, but deep down he had a completely different idea.Trouble is a good thing, no trouble is a big problem.

I have harvested a giant dragon. If there is no big news to divert attention and attract hatred, how will everyone's jealousy be appeased?

I can't take the initiative to report to the alliance investigation team, but it doesn't mean that I can't guide the investigation team to investigate the case secretly.

No matter how cleanly a bulk material transaction is done, there will inevitably be loopholes.

There are so many people involved in the transaction, the personnel in charge of escorting the supplies, and the witnesses along the way, who can guarantee that no one will say anything.

If the material gap can be filled in time, the remarks of these people are just talking nonsense and not credible.

If the gap cannot be plugged, these people are the breakthrough in the case of reselling military supplies.Once the hole is opened, it will be easy to check the following things.

The destroyed empty warehouse, the account books without protection and backup are all loopholes.

As long as you go deep into the barracks of the nobles in the North to investigate, you don't have to worry about finding evidence.Even if the investigation team is not strong enough, they will still receive video data before and after the warehouse was burned.

As soon as the contract with the Red Dragon was signed, Hudson threw out some evidence about the reselling of military supplies by the northern nobles.

There are many nobles, and there are everyone.

Occasionally, there is a noble officer who likes to write a diary to record important events that happen every day; it is also very reasonable for a nobleman to like to use photo stones to record major events around him.

Some things, or not to do; once done, it must be done absolutely.

The nobles of the Northland are deeply rooted and have the power to overturn the table in the kingdom. The power within the kingdom alone may not be able to do anything to them.

If you really want to hurt them, you have to use external force.If the Terran Alliance wants to kick the Alpha Kingdom out of the dining table, it must do a solid military reselling case.

The Human Race Alliance came forward and insisted on it, and there was no way to explain how many nobles in the Northland would die.

For this reason, Hudson did not hesitate to take the title of Marshal of the Kingdom that he had not yet obtained.
