The King Chapter 420

  Chapter 420 The Three Nether Kings

   "Marshal, this is a summary of the major events that have happened in the past few days."

  The continental war has been going on until now, and 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 kept holding meetings and deliberations, but after experiencing a lot later, he gradually became numb.

   Except for events that will immediately affect the interests of the kingdom, the rest can be directly transcribed and distributed to the higher-ups of the kingdom.

   Looking at the report in his hand, Hudson frowned.

  The five prairie countries have become the four prairie countries, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will soon become the three prairie countries, two countries... 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 has already flown to the Kingdom of Alpha. The Kingdom has not held a meeting to discuss this issue, obviously it is not going to send reinforcements.

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

   Pain is temporary. If the elves make a move, it will be thunderous. This kind of trouble should disappear soon.

  When there is bad news, there is good news.

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

  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 been forced to spit it out, and the flames of war have reached the mainland of the Dwarf Kingdom.

  The cannibal tribe has 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 situation 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 the South Bank is fighting for positions with the Three-Eyed Race.

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

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

   It is mainly racial conflicts, 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.

  Notify 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 possible to move the troops towards the Principality of Moxi.

  Wait until the army moves to the border area, when to fight over, that is Hudson's own decision.

  The appearance of a warplane 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.

   "Yes, 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 took office as the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom 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!

  It doesn't matter how big the backstage 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 "100,000 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.

   Now everything is different, after Hudson made 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.

   There are opinions to hold back, and Marshal Hudson himself 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 travel 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.

   It is affectionately called by everyone - "Three Kings of the Netherworld".

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

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

  Do not dare to 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 leaders still transport with great fanfare.

  It's a pity that the panic will spread. After two transportations, the hired fleet quit.

   "Mr. Jose, it's not about money.

  The main reason is that the sailors are afraid. 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 that he came here to sell miserably again, he himself was ashamed.

  Unfortunately, the people under his command didn't give face. After two trips, he no longer wanted to take this route.

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

   During the recent period, they have not heard the news of 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.

  He has used it many times for a similar reason, but the effect is not as good as once.

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

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

  For the sake of safety, we 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, so is he, the owner of the ship!

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

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

  There are too many suspects.

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

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

   Turning around, I will let the Griffin Dragoons in the territory stare at the misty sea area, and I will 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 you stare at it.

  Besides, even if the Griffin Dragon finds the ghost ship, it may not be able to send the information back.

  In recent days, several mercenary groups have entered the misty sea area to explore, and they are gone forever.

  I heard that a few days ago, the Dalton family sent griffin cavalry to monitor the misty sea area, 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, the earl will pursue it, and you will not end well! "

   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 prove 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, why don't you come over and help us transport it first, and then ask the Earl to **** you all.

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

   Jose said cruelly.

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

   With the emphasis placed on the population by the lord, it is normal to transport tens of thousands of immigrants at one time, and **** them in person.

  The prestige is all earned. Hudson has a record of repelling three ghost ships, and 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 was 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 is just making noise at sea, and cannot shake the foundation of everyone, 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 doesn't have time to guard us, he can still negotiate with the ghost king.

  The 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 occurs, it will be the "Three Kings of the Netherworld" breach of contract, and there is no way to verify it anyway.

  I want to return to my thoughts, but the matter still needs 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 Kingdom of Alpha, if a commoner wants to become an aristocrat, he cannot do without military merit.

  Jose was a nobleman before, but because he was made a scapegoat and became a commoner, it will 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 others need one military merit to become a nobleman, then Jose needs ten military merits.

  It is not easy to take the blame.

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

   This almost cut off his way of self-reliance.

  Following 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 has already set off.

   In name, it was a pull-up training, and anyone with common sense of geography would know 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 speed of marching or the formation of the army, it is not comparable to any army that Hudson has led before.

   Recalling the previous tens of thousands of cavalry regiments, it looks like **** now.

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

   Basically, Hudson didn't worry about anything 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 army, 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 made his subordinates 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" Okay, 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.

   It is reasonable for the two sanctuaries, one dragon and one bear, to suppress the three kings of the underworld. Even if everyone has doubts, they will only think that the hidden power of the Alpha Kingdom is involved.

   Thanks to the publicity of the Holy See 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.

  However, the matter did not end so easily. Once the ships in the mountain territory could pass freely, the nobles in the coastal areas of the kingdom would definitely come to ask for help.

  Maritime trade is such a big piece of cake, no one will give up easily.

  "Eating alone" is "eating poison". Such a big cake cannot be swallowed by Hudson alone. Compromise is the inevitable result.

   If you 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 blocking the road and robbing, you can just collect the protection fee directly, and no one will doubt it.

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