The King Chapter 25

   "Welcome everyone to Ethel Fortress!"

  The hearty voice sounded, but everyone did not feel warm. A group of nobles sat firmly on their horses, just staring at Earl Pierce, no one was willing to bow their heads first, and the scene was once embarrassing.

  Dare to fight against the boss, which really opened Hudson's eyes. Obviously, the status of the nobles in this world is higher than he imagined.

  Even though he holds the military and political power, and his family background is not good enough, Earl Pierce still has no choice but to rule a group of noble lords.

   "Your Excellency, Governor, I am very sorry. Please forgive us for being unreasonable!"

   It was Viscount Oran who spoke. From his beating expression, it can be seen that there is no apology in the slightest.

  As a nobleman who joined the battlefield halfway, Ilya Oran was not tricked, but this did not prevent him from fighting for his rights.

   A group of small and medium-sized nobles, who are so united now, are essentially fighting for their own rights. As for seeking justice for the war dead, that was just a blatant rhetoric.

  The world of nobles is cruel, and it is always strength that determines the distribution of benefits. In this game, the small and medium nobles and the big nobles are essentially unequal. If you want a share of the pie, you can only join forces.

  As the most miserable alliance in this war, it should be the most troublesome, but limited by its strength, it can only follow the flag and shout.

   It can be seen from Cheers Knight's gloomy face that he is full of unwillingness. He wanted to speak several times, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

  Great knights are good, but that's only for minor nobles. The family's strength is not strong enough to dare to offend Earl Pierce to death, so they can only hand over the dominance to others.

   For Hudson, this is obviously not a good thing. The alliance failed to gain enough voice, which means that it will fall into a passive position next.

  It's a pity that his arms can't twist his thighs, and all the allies are not in their heads, and he, a cute new knight, can't be eloquent.

  After staring at each other for a while, Earl Pierce jumped off the Flame Lion and said indifferently: "The evil weapon Blood Moon Horn has appeared. How powerful is it? You have personally experienced it during the day."

"impossible!"

   "With the seal of the pope and the guardian of the Knights of Judgment, who can take away the Horn of the Blood Moon from under their noses?"

   Viscount Oran said in disbelief.

   Hearing this appalling news, Hudson almost fell off his horse. Now he is not Xiaobai who just crossed over, and he is also very familiar with the name of "Blood Moon Horn".

  Among the few parchment scrolls in my library, there is a volume dedicated to this stuff.

   Three hundred years ago, in order to quell the blood moon catastrophe, the Koslow family alone killed thirteen knights, and many family branches went into decline.

  After being sealed in the Papal State for three hundred years, he was able to come out to act as a demon, and what was even more unfortunate was that he caught up with him. Hudson was also speechless about this luck.

  Glanced at the companions around him, except for a few guys who didn't read much, who were waiting for the answer with a dazed expression, everyone else was sweating profusely.

   Seeing that he wasn't the only one making a fool of himself, Hudson was a little relieved. Even if the sky falls, the tall man will bear it first. The matter of the "Blood Moon Horn" is obviously not something that a little knight like him can control.

   It seems that only skeletons will use evil weapons to make trouble, but they don't know how the "Blood Moon Horn" escaped from the Papal Kingdom and how it came to the southeast province is the key to the problem.

  There are too many things involved behind this, and it may trigger a new round of royal power VS religious power. Don't say that Hudson is so small and transparent, I am afraid that a big man like Earl Pierce is also walking on thin ice.

   "I also hope this is fake, but you have also experienced the battle during the day. The sound of the horn sounds and the soldiers turn into killing machines. Isn't it similar to the legendary blood moon horn?"

  Earl Pierce's answer completely extinguished everyone's illusions. Everyone knew that big trouble was coming.

  If the rebellion cannot be extinguished in time, the entire southeastern province and even the Alpha Kingdom may have to pay for it, and no one can think of being alone.

   Regardless of continuing to find fault, everyone dismounted one after another and followed in the footsteps of Earl Pierce.

  Now is not the time to be awkward. When it comes to the "Blood Moon Horn", many things can only be said behind closed doors.

  As soon as he stepped into the hall, a young nobleman impatiently asked, "Your Excellency, what does the church say?"

   "How can it be so fast, I just sent people to pass the news to the kingdom and the church respectively, and it will be next month at the earliest when the Papal State gives a reply.

  The long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst, and we can only solve the problem by ourselves in a short period of time, unless you are willing to lure wolves into the house. "

  Pierce's answer made everyone's faces even more ugly. The church and the kingdom cannot be counted on for the time being, and there are not many choices left for everyone.

  Theoretically speaking, they can also seek help from nobles in neighboring provinces, but the world of nobles is also divided into circles.

   Internally, everyone struggled with each other for resources; but externally, the nobles in the southeastern provinces were a whole.

   This is not a whole, but a political alliance. In the kingdom's political system, the aristocrats in the southeastern provinces are a group, and according to Hudson's understanding, they are township politics.

  In the central government, everyone is politically united to fight against noble groups in other provinces; at the local level, everyone is also self-contained, and they are the local emperors in their respective territories.

   There is no free lunch in the world of the aristocrats, everyone pursues an exchange of equal value. If you open your mouth to ask for help from the nobles of the neighboring province, you will have to pay a big price.

   Unless it is absolutely necessary, everyone will not take this step. No one wants to see the neighbors reaching out to their own land to dictate.

  "Luring wolves into the house is of course not advisable. A mere Skull and Bones will not be able to take a step, and now the trouble is the Blood Moon Horn.

  If this problem is not solved, the enemy can continue to consume armed cannon fodder and us. Everyone has seen the battles during the day, how crazy the rebel soldiers controlled by the evil weapon are.

  We paid the price of dozens of nobles killed in battle, and none of the enemy's leaders were left behind. We just killed a group of worthless cannon fodder. "

   Viscount Oran said solemnly.

  The more you know, the more you know the awe. Compared with ordinary minor nobles, he knew more about the "Blood Moon Horn".

   "You don't have to worry too much. The Blood Moon Horn is powerful, but it has been sealed for more than 300 years. During this period, it has been continuously baptized by the Holy Light, and it is still affected after all.

  If it was the Horn of the Blood Moon at its peak, the battle during the day would never be so easy. In the legend, it is even possible to transform a corpse into an undead to continue fighting.

  As long as our speed is fast enough, and we don't give the enemy time to accumulate strength and feed evil weapons, the situation can still be salvaged..."
