king.

Unable to resist the strong demands of the three, Hudson reluctantly released thirty pairs of heavy armor.It's just such a small amount, and I don't know how they will use it when they take it back.

The three of them never let go of any of the other weapons and equipment.All the equipment produced in recent days has been divided up by the three of them.

It's all business, and Hudson has no objection.

It would be even better if there were fewer complaints about weapons.

However, Hudson has encountered similar scenes with countless customers and has long been immune.

The buyer is the picky one. He keeps complaining about his shortcomings, but his body is still very honest.

Anyway, none of the customers who bought his products gave good reviews, and Hudson no longer has any illusions about taking the word-of-mouth route.

Often the more useless the product is sprayed, the larger the final order will be placed.

Fortunately, there is no need to undertake after-sales business here, and there is no penalty mechanism for bad reviews.Otherwise, he, the businessman with the most bad reviews in the southeast province, really couldn't get along.

You get what you pay for.They are all nine yuan and nine free shipping products, so the quality is naturally not much better.

I don't know how many iron weapons can be bought with silver coins in the entire Aslant continent, but looking at the southeastern province, only Baron Hudson can lower the price to this level.

This is also Hudson's killer feature. Every time the price comparison method is offered, customers can place orders and pay readily.

Whether the quality is good or not is important. They are all prepared for serf soldiers. There is no need to set such a high standard. The key is that they are cheap and can kill people.

Money is the courage of a hero. After sending away three unsightly goods, Hudson accelerated the formulation of the territory development plan, which will be officially launched only after the autumn plowing is completed.

If you don't have enough talents in hand, then go into battle and make plans yourself.The workload in the early stage is not large, and the main work is to open up wasteland. What Hudson needs to do is to select a geomantic land suitable for agricultural production.

The Salam Mountains are rolling and the terrain is relatively flat, so the early development is relatively easy.

Hudson's goal is not high. To catch up with the opening of [-] acres of mountain land before next year's spring plowing, even if it is a phased victory, the specific refinement is to develop a small hill.

It is really a small hill, and the visual drop does not exceed 50 meters. It is considered the best cultivated land in the Salam Mountains.

If you are willing to spend your money, you can just push it into a plain.Of course, the current Hudson is not so domineering. Once excavated, the seemingly inconspicuous small soil volume can be quite a lot.

There is no construction machinery, and all operations are carried out manually. A large project with a million earthworks cannot be filled without a little human life.

Eight thousand acres of land reclamation plan, this goal is not too big.Although the young and strong are all in the army and in the mines, Master Hudson not only has serfs, but also livestock.

In addition to the pregnant female animals, he also has more than 150 poor horses and 21 cows available, which are completely worth a thousand strong laborers.

Animals + thousands of people, the construction period of half a year, the initial construction of [-] acres of terraced fields is completed, theoretically speaking, there is no problem at all.

In order to fatten the land, Hudson ordered the collection of human and animal feces in the territory early on, so that the first earthwork in the territory turned out to be a cesspit.

But the plan will always change. After learning about the pitiful grain yield per mu, the collected manure is first used in autumn plowing.

They are all cultivated land on the plains, and there is no need to expect the output to double. As long as the yield per mu can exceed [-] pounds, Hudson will be content.

After all, food production depends not only on fertility, but also on seeds.

To improve the fertility of the land, Master Hudson can still barely know a little bit. To improve the grain seeds, it is really beyond the outline.

Fortunately, the serfs these days are more obedient, and they can do whatever the lord tells them to do. Hudson's first agricultural technological innovation was successfully implemented.

Focusing on agriculture, he kept his ears to the outside world. Even if the outside world was arguing about the rivalry between the Kingdom and the Holy See, Hudson would not be moved.

When the sky falls, the big man will bear it first. Anyway, no one cares about his opinion, and it will not affect the kingdom's decision-making.

If you want to get involved, you must at least be at the level of Earl Pierce before you are eligible to express your opinions on military affairs.

Anyway, Hudson has great confidence in King Caesar III. With him, the master of ZTE who can save the royal family from danger, the situation will not be too bad.

Even if he really fights with the Holy See, with his political skills, he will be able to win a few allies, and he will not be foolish enough to fight the Holy See one-on-one.

Vaguely, Hudson even felt that the Holy See did not dare to make a move at this time.

Originally, the Holy See was not welcomed by the rulers of the mainland countries. When they were caught, they dared to take action against a kingdom, especially this kingdom was of great significance to the human world.

Once done, it is very likely to fall into a situation where everyone shouts and beats.

In the era when the Lord of Dawn often appeared, the Holy See might be able to withstand the impact of public opinion, but not now.

Churches in various countries are almost self-contained, except for the Pope, it is a small Holy See.

No one can guarantee that any monarch will not get hotheaded and establish a new Holy See.At least Hudson felt that if his king was pushed into a hurry, he would not lack such courage.

No one tried it, because everyone was still in awe, afraid of causing the Lord of Dawn's displeasure.

It's just that this legendary god, although he is extremely ruthless in combating heresy, according to the recorded information, it seems that he has never interfered with the infighting among believers.

Especially since this guy hasn't shown up for thousands of years, there are already many scholars on the mainland who have put forward various theories to question: "The Theory of the Return of the Gods", "Theory of the Perjury of the Gods", "Theory of the Hollowness of the Gods"...

I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, the Holy See hates these guys deeply, and can't wait to deal with them quickly.However, countries still protect these people to death and do not give them a chance to attack.

Even a small nobleman like Hudson can know these remarks, which is enough to prove the attitude of the rulers.

……

holy mountain
Upon receiving the news from the Alpha Kingdom, Pius VII was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot.Originally, the purpose of sending people to destroy the evidence was to avoid intensification of conflicts, so as not to affect the plans of the Holy See.

It's a pity that the plan did not change quickly, and the trouble caused by the blood moon horn has not yet subsided, and there was a scandal of intercepting and killing the special envoy of the kingdom.

The flying dragon cavalry sent out were all wiped out, and the property of the Holy See in the Alpha Kingdom also suffered heavy losses.As for the tithes, redemption rolls, donations from believers, etc. that should have been paid, it is estimated that there will be no copper coins in the future.

"Captain Blake, is that what you promised me?"

demanded Pius VII sharply.

The loss of property is nothing more than that, the key is that the Holy See's already unbearable reputation is now getting worse again.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has implemented a reputation-washing plan for more than ten years, and this wave can directly declare bankruptcy.

There is no point in explaining, the Alpha Kingdom revealed everything that should be said and should not be said.

An interception operation made things completely passive.No matter how many explanations are given, the outside world will think that the Alpha Kingdom Mission got the Blood Moon Horn, which led to the interception and killing of the Holy See Flying Dragon Cavalry.

In fact, Pius VII himself thought so.Otherwise, there is no grievance or hatred, and he will kill the king's special envoy when he is full.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Calllis's self-assessment.The only problem was that he was not careful enough to expose himself.

The only gratifying thing is that the Horn of the Blood Moon did not fall into the hands of the Alpha Kingdom, saving a little face for the Holy See.Otherwise, the matter of supporting the cult organization will be completely exposed to the sun.

Deep down, Pius VII thought the Dragoon sacrifice was worth it.It is one thing to be recognized, but another concept to directly produce evidence.

Even if it is self-deception, the Holy See also needs this fig leaf.As long as they have this fig leaf, they can have the cheek to deny it.

Although it doesn't have practical significance, even if you know it's your own fault for political things, sometimes you have to stick to it and refuse to admit it.

Externally, we can insist on it, but internally, we cannot ignore the responsibility.Where there are people, there are disputes, and the Holy See is not monolithic.Without a reasonable explanation, all parties may be unable to explain.

The entire army of flying dragon cavalry was wiped out, and the dead are not responsible.The younger brother is not good at doing things, and the boss also needs to take responsibility. This not-so-black blame naturally fell on Blake.

Coincidentally, the Horn of the Blood Moon also fell out of the hands of the Knights of Judgment, and it was involved from the beginning to the end. Blake, who had committed crimes and meritorious deeds, had no room for defense.

"Your Majesty, I am judging the Knights for their incompetence in this matter. As the leader, I cannot escape the responsibility."

As a bachelor, he took on the responsibility, and Blake cast his expectant eyes on all his colleagues, hoping that everyone would give him a hand at this time for the sake of their old friendship.

As for whether he has carried out public relations in private, no one knows. Anyway, Blake is now a good believer who has the courage to take responsibility.

"Your Majesty, Captain Blake is certainly responsible, but the ones who really need to be responsible for this matter are the guys guarding the Blood Moon Horn.

The Flying Dragon Cavalry just wiped their asses for them. Although their actions accidentally exposed them, they finally hid the Blood Moon Horn.

The Alpha Kingdom is thousands of miles away from us, and there are several countries blocking them halfway. No matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only shout a few times.

Active industries have been frozen by them.The worst situation is just like this, as long as other countries don't get involved, it's almost time to end the matter. "

Cardinal Sauron's words directly made Pius VII roll his eyes.Just beg for mercy if you help, but how can you say it out of his mouth, it's to the point of lying down.

But this is indeed the reality that the Holy See needs to face now.The Alpha Kingdom cannot reach the Holy See. In other words, it can be understood that the Holy See cannot do anything to the Alpha Kingdom.

Calling all the way to the past, that is a child's naive idea.We are all mature politicians who know how to weigh the pros and cons.

As for the person responsible for being thrown out, it can only be considered their bad luck.Although they were punished last time, they were not executed after all. Now someone needs to take responsibility, so they can only reluctantly let them do it again.

You can't really take down a high-ranking member of the Holy See for such a small matter, and break the balance of power among the various factions in the Church, right?

Even if you really want to deal with Blake, you have to find a suitable successor.Otherwise, wouldn't the Knights of Judgment want to mess up if they took people down rashly?

As one of the main battle regiments of the Holy See, Pius VII must not allow the Knights of Judgment to fall into chaos.

"Bishop Sauron is right. Blake really only needs to bear secondary responsibilities. However, his subordinates mess up things one after another. Shouldn't Captain Blake reflect on himself?
Is it because they don't know people well, employ them improperly, or because their abilities are limited, and they cannot bear the heavy responsibility of managing the Knights of Judgment;

All in all, Captain Blake must have a clear self-positioning to ensure that he will not make similar mistakes next time. "

Seeing his old enemy speak, Blake knew he was in trouble.It seems that he is allowed to choose by himself, but in fact he has no choice at all.

The charge of "perfunctory" must never be admitted, it is a matter of principle.It is a blasphemy to believe in not working hard for the gods.

Unknown and improper employment are all manifestations of his own limited ability, and he has definitely worn the hat of "incompetence".

Even if he escapes this catastrophe, his right to speak in the Holy See will be greatly reduced in the future, and it may even affect the status of the Judgment Knights in the Church.

"Thank you for the reminder, Commander Gulei. I will definitely reflect on it deeply. But regardless of whether I have the ability to take up my current position, it is the internal affairs of the Judgment Knights, and you don't need to worry about the Commander of the Knights."

The people under his hands are on the bar again, and Pius VII has mixed joys and sorrows.Inherited to the present, the Holy See has already changed in nature.

All major institutions in the church have serious inbreeding.In name, the clergy dedicated everything to the gods, and as a result, illegitimate children were everywhere.

Many positions have hereditary mode, and Pius VII wants to change this situation, but he has no way to do it.

After all, that's how he came to be Pope.If it wasn't for his ancestors who had served as the pope, the power in the church was deeply rooted, and the position of the pope would not be his turn.

It is too embarrassing for him to change the rules of the game when he benefits from this set of rules.

Fortunately, the major forces in the church check and balance each other, and there are many conflicts among them, otherwise he, the Pope, would have a difficult life.

"Okay, you two don't fight anymore. Let me calm down this farce with the Alpha Kingdom first, and all the losses caused by it will be borne by the Judgment Knights.

I don't care how to solve the resulting gap. Even if you, Blake, pay for it yourself, you have to make it up. Anyway, the strength of the Knights of Judgment cannot be affected.

As for the Alpha Kingdom, it has caused us so much trouble, and it cannot make them feel better.

Isn't Caesar III squeamish, then find something for him to do so that he can't be happy.

The orc empire has been silent for so long, it's time for them to move.

A few years ago, the Lion Clan changed the king, and the new Lion King had already sharpened his knife and eagerly wanted to invade the south, but because the old and immortal Bi Meng couldn't lift a knife himself, he didn't want to see other people's achievements in battle, so he made excuses stopped.

Now Emperor Bimeng is very old, once this old immortal dies, the political situation of the five emperors of the Orc Empire will definitely be broken.

It's just that the current Crown Prince Bimon is also old, and there is a high probability that he will continue this old political line.If we want them to invade the south, we need to add fire to them. "

Pius VII said indifferently.

It seems that provoking the orcs to invade the south is as natural as eating and drinking water, and they don't care about the losses caused to the people.

No one was surprised. Obviously, the Holy See has done similar things more than once.

It's just that the Holy See started the war thousands of years ago, mainly to guide the spread of the human race, to spread the glory of the Lord of Dawn, and by the way, to compete for living space for the race; but now the Holy See started the war, just to eliminate dissidents.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I promise not to let the operation of the Judgment Knights be affected in any way!"

Blake hastily promised.

Although it is difficult to live without money, the first task now is to keep your position.Insufficient funds, the big deal is to cut expenses.

It is the middle and lower classes who are most affected. No matter how it changes, the life of the big shots above will not be affected.

Glancing at Blake, he seemed satisfied with his statement, and Pius VII took advantage of the situation and said:
"Since you are so confident, then the affairs of the Orc Empire will also be handed over to your Judgment Knights.

The glory of the Holy See cannot be insulted, and any behavior that dares to provoke the majesty of the Holy See must be severely punished.

I don't care what method you use, the orc empire must launch a southward invasion within three years.If you can't do it, you can abdicate yourself and go to the ascetic camp! "

The Ascetic Monk Camp is composed of a group of the most devout believers in the Lord of Dawn, and it has always been the most sacred place in the Holy See.

This is just publicity. For the high-ranking leader, no one wants to go to the ascetic camp to experience life.

The extremely strict canon rules and a life of simple food and drink all day long are enough to break down any normal person.

In an instant, Blake felt a pressure rushing towards him.Three years seems to be a long time, but it seems too short to guide the policy direction of a country.

Especially the old man Bi Menghuang is still alive, as long as this most prestigious old guy doesn't nod, it will be very difficult to pass the South invasion.

It's not surprising, the biggest achievement of Emperor Beamon is that he invaded the south and seized a large area of ​​the Alpha Kingdom.As he was old and unable to lead the troops south, he naturally did not want to start a new war.

If he wins the battle, the prestige of the other emperors will greatly increase, which will shake his No.1 position in the orc empire.

If he loses the battle, the land he seized earlier may have to be returned, and his outstanding achievements will be washed away.

A bloody war to win or lose would be opposed by any mature politician.Even if they really want to fight, they have to wait until he dies, so as not to affect his reputation before and after his life.
