Chapter 420 Three Nether Kings
"Marshal, this is a summary of the major events that have happened in the past few days."

Now that the continental war has progressed, the international situation cannot be said to change every day, but there must be a big news every few days.

At the beginning, Caesar IV continued to hold meetings to discuss, but after experiencing a lot later, he gradually became numb.

Except for events that would immediately affect the kingdom's interests, the rest can be directly copied and distributed to the kingdom's high-level officials.

Looking at the report in his hand, Hudson frowned.

The Five Grasslands became the Four Grasslands, and if there were no accidents, they would soon become the Three Grasslands, the Two Kingdoms... and finally return to zero.

Even if the Alpha Kingdom puts pressure on the Terran Alliance, the resistance of the grassland countries is still not as strong as expected, and the time left for the kingdom is running out.

Bad news always comes one after another. There is a military conflict between the Principality of Kantruo in the west and the elves, and the war is imminent.

The request for help had already flown to the Kingdom of Alpha, but the kingdom did not hold a meeting to discuss this issue, obviously it was not planning to send reinforcements.

It can only be blamed for the bad luck of the Principality of Kantruh, which is too far away from the Lord of Dawn and too close to the elves.

The pain is temporary, and if the elves make a move, it will definitely be done by thunder. This kind of trouble should disappear soon.

Where there is bad news, there is good news.

The Kingdom of Frankish stepped up its offensive against the Orc Kingdom, pushing the front line forward by a hundred miles again.

The Holy See has also started to erupt recently, perhaps because it is preparing to vent its grievances at sea on land, and the dwarves are having a hard time.

The land previously occupied by the Kingdom of Ruthenia has now been forced to vomit out, and the flames of war have reached the mainland of the Dwarf Kingdom.

The cannibal tribe has also been struggling recently, and the Kingdom of Iribia's offensive has become more and more fierce. If it weren't for the geographical advantage, they might have collapsed.

On the contrary, the battle in the Central Continent is at a stalemate. The Kingdom of Hesse is fighting happily with the Stone People, the Kingdom of Dante is fighting with the Trolls, and the Kingdom of South Shore is fighting for positions with the Three-Eyed Race.

Hudson can see that the strength of the human race is stronger the further south, and the strength of the foreign race is relatively weaker. The situation is just the opposite when going north.

Overall, the two sides are evenly matched, and the human race seems to have a slight advantage because it is a single race.

The main reason is racial contradictions, which suppress the contradictions within the human race.Otherwise, various regional blacks, regional conflicts, ethnic groups...

After a brief glance, Hudson nodded and said:
"I know the situation. Distribute this "Long-distance Training Plan" to all regiments of the expeditionary army, and send a copy to the Ministry of Military Affairs by the way.

Inform the logistics department to prepare supplies, and the army will leave tomorrow. "

When the interests are in place, everything is easy to discuss.

Immediately sending troops to rescue is too abrupt, but in the name of training, it is still feasible to let the troops move towards the Principality of Moxi.

When the army has moved to the border area, when it will fight over, it is up to Hudson himself.

The emergence of a fighter is enough to shut everyone's mouths.

Even if there is a little disturbance, Caesar IV will help to deal with the aftermath.The benefits are shared by everyone, and there is no reason for him to do the work alone.

"Okay, Marshal!"

Walls replied hastily.

After finishing speaking, he immediately picked up the "Long-distance Training Plan" on the desk, turned around and went to implement it.

After following along for a few months, he already has a general understanding of Hudson's style.

The requirement for "efficiency" can be called abnormal.

Since Hudson became the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom's army, not only the efficiency within the army has been greatly improved, but even the efficiency of various government departments has been forced to improve.

Once the order is issued, overtime must be completed.If you dare to procrastinate, pack your things and go home!

No matter how big the background is, if you dare to make a fuss, you don't even have to go home, you can go directly to the "Warrior Camp" to report.

The mobilization of the "[-] troops" was ordered today to be dispatched tomorrow, which was impossible in the past.

It's not that the army can't do it, it's mainly because the logistics can't keep up.

Everything is different now, after Hudson's reforms in the army, the officers also learned to live ascetics.

If the supplies are not available in a short period of time, they will eat dry food directly.

If there are opinions, Marshal Hudson can take the lead in eating dry food, so it is hard for everyone to say anything.

Everything is preparing for the long-distance raid. The current hard training is just to let everyone get used to it in advance.

In fact, the name of the ancients will run thousands of miles, and the biggest problem will always be logistics.

Hudson chose the Principality of Moxi as the battlefield, in fact, he also considered logistics.

As long as the noble castles along the way are not all fallen, they can provide supplies for the army.Even a full meal or two is crucial in war.

As long as the war starts, the food problem is secondary.

After winning the battle, all kinds of livestock that died in the battle are our rations.The various materials looted are the best supplements.

If you lose, don't worry.The long-distance raid failed, even if the entire army was not wiped out, few soldiers survived.

……

The tense situation in the grassland soon spread to the Alpha Kingdom.A large number of refugees are waiting for the kingdom to receive them, but at this time the fleet has lost its chain.

It was all caused by the ghost ship. With the record of destroying the Holy See fleet, the names of Hudson's three ghost ships resounded throughout the continent.

They are affectionately called "Three Kings of the Netherworld".

Especially in coastal areas, the names of the Three Nether Kings can make children cry.

To engage in transportation under their noses, if the heart is not strong enough, it will make people collapse.

I dare not go by sea, and evacuate by land, both in terms of efficiency and death rate have risen sharply.

Perhaps realizing that the human race wanted to evacuate, the orc empire continued to send out cavalry to hunt refugees on the prairie.

There are exceptions to everything, other people's fleets dare not move, and the mountain leader still transports with great fanfare.

It's a pity that panic will spread, and after two shipments, the hired fleet quits.

……

"Mr Jose, it's not about money or not.

The main reason is that the sailors are afraid, and I have exhausted my words, but they still refuse to board the ship. "

Captain Gull said in embarrassment.

The previous transportation task could not be completed on time, and the mountain leader had already postponed them once.Now he came here to sell miserably again, and he was ashamed himself.

However, the people under him didn't give face, after two trips, they were no longer willing to take this route.

"Captain Gul, didn't the first two times go well?

During the recent period, they have not heard any news about the ghost ship. Presumably, they were also severely damaged during the battle with the Holy See fleet.

You can act with confidence and boldness, so there is nothing to worry about! "

Jose pretended to be calm and persuaded.

For similar reasons, he has used it many times, but the effect is not as good as once.

"Dear Mr. Jose, it's not that I, Gul, don't give you face, it's because the mission can't go on.

This time we came back from Xingang, and the ships along the way were almost extinct, and everyone gave up this route.

For the sake of safety, we all sail close to the coastline, but everyone is still afraid!

Once the ghost ship comes out of the sea of ​​mist, our fleet will only be wiped out. "

Gul said with a sad face.

The people below are afraid, and so is he, the ship owner!

All the wealth is on it, once something goes wrong, it will be over.

In an instant, Jose realized that someone was deliberately releasing panic in order to attack the maritime trade of the Alpha Kingdom.

There are simply too many suspects.

It may have been done by the Holy See, or it may have been done by the Kingdom of Hesse, or it may be...

"Captain Gul, don't worry, we still have a solution to this problem.

Looking back, I will let the Griffon Dragoons in the territory stare at the Misty Sea, and notify you immediately if there is any movement, absolutely not..."

Before Jose could finish his countermeasures, Gul interrupted:

"Mr. Jose, the sea of ​​mist is so vast, how can we stare at it.

Moreover, even if the Griffin Dragon found the ghost ship, it might not be able to send the information back.

In recent days, several mercenary groups have entered the misty sea to explore, and they never returned.

I heard that a few days ago, the Dalton family sent griffin cavalry to monitor the Misty Sea, and they also broke into it.

……

There are too many lessons learned from the past, and there is really no need to continue taking risks.

If something goes wrong, and the Earl pursues it, it will not end well for you! "

Hearing this explanation, Jose was also silent.

The mercenary ships that explored deep into the misty sea were all tired of living and looking for death, but the air force monitoring the misty sea also had an accident, so there was a problem.

At least it can be proved that the three ghost ships in the misty sea area can move freely, not just stay inside.

"How about this!

Since everyone's fleet has stopped these days, Captain Gul will help to be a middleman and invite all major ship owners.

Everyone is idle, so why don't you come over and help us transport it first, and then ask the earl to escort you all.

They are all defeated by the master, you can rest assured now, right? "

Jose said harshly.

In any case, the share of immigrants allocated to the territory must be transported back.

With the importance attached to the population by the lord, it is normal to transport tens of thousands of immigrants at one time, and escort them in person.

The prestige is all earned, Hudson has a record of repelling three ghost ships, Gul's hanging heart suddenly fell.Then he asked with concern:
"Mr. Jose, the count is busy with the kingdom's military affairs, do you have time to delay?"

This is the most realistic problem. The nobles along the coast are suffering from blocked routes, and Hudson is not invited to take action. The most critical factor is that the threat of alien races is greater than that of ghost ships.

No matter how rampant the ghost ship is, it's just making trouble at sea and cannot shake everyone's foundation, but the alien race is here to destroy the human race.

"Don't worry, ghosts also have a lot of wisdom. Even if the earl has no time to guard you, he can still negotiate with the ghost king.

Mountain Territory lacks population, you are worried about the threat of ghost ships, and we are also worried about immigration accidents!
Even if they can't prevent them from plundering the Quartet, at least they can make the Ghost King agree not to touch our ship. "

Jose tried his best to fool him.

Whether the problem can be resolved through negotiation, he has no idea at all.

After all, the matter of the ghost ship is highly confidential, and only Hudson knows it.

The most important thing now is to fool the fleet and bring the immigrants back.

If an accident happened, it would be that the "Three Nether Kings" had breached the contract, and there was no way to verify it anyway.

After all, things still need to be reported.

According to the plan, after resettling the immigrants, he will go to the Principality of Moxi with the army.

It is not only to use his military ability, but also to reward him for his past achievements.

In the Alpha Kingdom, if a commoner wants to become a nobleman, he cannot do without military merit.

Jose was a nobleman before, but because he was made a scapegoat and became a commoner, it would only be more difficult to become a nobleman.

Without enough outstanding achievements, it is impossible to obtain the title of knighthood by blocking the mouths of the victims.

If it is said that the military merit needed for others to become a noble is one, then the military merit needed for Jose is ten.

It's not easy to take the blame.

When the Crown Prince Caesar became the king, no matter how much everyone had resentment, they could only hold back, and the blame fell entirely on Jose.

This almost cut off his way of self-reliance.

Hanging with Hudson can also help him block these hidden dark swords. If you go out and start your own business independently, you don't know how you will die.

……

The letter reached Hudson, and the army had already set off.

In name, it was a pull-up training, and anyone with common sense of geography knew that it was a preparation for sending troops to the Principality of Moxi.

It is also leading troops to fight, and the command of elite troops is indeed much smoother.

Whether it is the marching speed or the formation of the army, it is not comparable to any army that Hudson has led before.

Recalling those ten thousand cavalry regiments in the past, it looks like shit now.

They can only bully orc cannon fodder, let alone cavalry, the gap is completely different.

Hudson basically didn't worry about it along the way. Even if he encountered a problem, the officers below would find a way to solve it by himself.

Even if there is a big trouble, it is reported together with the trouble and the solution, waiting for his approval from the boss.

There are not many affairs in the military, so Hudson has the leisure to consider the affairs in the territory.

Regarding the issue of the ghost ship, he admitted that he did not explain it in detail enough, which caused his subordinates to misunderstand.

But there is no way, this kind of thing cannot be brought to the table.

Originally, he still had a headache, how to solve the problem of the ghost ship, but he didn't expect his subordinates to help him think of a solution.

"Negotiation" Well, the compromise between the human race and the aliens is not once or twice.

The legendary ancient heroes can all negotiate with evil gods.In contrast, negotiating with ghost ships can only be regarded as pediatrics.

The name of "Three Nether Kings" is indeed a bit fierce, but his popularity is not low.

One dragon, one bear, two sanctuaries suppress the three kings of the nether world, and it can be justified.Even if everyone has doubts, they will only think that the hidden power of the Alpha Kingdom is involved.

Thanks to the Holy See's publicity outside, everyone believed that the three ghost ships were at the sanctuary level, and no one would have thought that a strong man at this level could be enslaved.

But things didn't end so easily. Once the boats in the mountain territory could pass freely, the nobles in the coastal areas of the kingdom would definitely come to ask for help.

No one will give up such a big piece of cake in maritime trade easily.

"Eating alone" is "eating poison". Hudson cannot swallow such a big cake alone. Compromise is the inevitable result.

If you want to ask for benefits, obviously you can only do it according to the needs of the ghost ship, otherwise things will go wrong.

Of course, being a middleman can't be done in vain.It's just that this kind of return depends on everyone's self-consciousness.

It's a pity that the ghost ship is not a giant dragon. If it is a giant dragon that blocks the road and robs, it will be fine to collect protection fees directly, and no one will doubt it.

This trip is destined to be indispensable, even if it is just for show, the cutscene must be completed.
