Chapter Twelve, Legendary Characters--Chels Knight

Although it was just a ragtag group, the impact it caused was still considerable. The places they passed along the way were despised by ghosts and gods.

With the conscience of heaven and earth, Hudson repeatedly emphasized military discipline. Without his orders, no one would dare to leave the army, let alone harm the place.

But this makes no sense. People along the way ran away when they saw the army, and they had no chance to explain.

Occasionally, I met a few noble lords to communicate with, but they were just sending the plague god. If it hadn't been for the recruitment order from Earl Pierce, these guys might have directly sent troops to expel them.

After traveling for three days, Hudson realized something was wrong. It seemed that he was running too fast.

The conscription order was not aimed at my family. The nobles of the entire southeastern province were within the scope of the conscription. Judging from the reactions of the nobles along the way, they were clearly making preparations.

Being the first to arrive on the battlefield can certainly increase your impression points, but you may also be the first to be used as cannon fodder.

His own family knew his own affairs, and Hudson had no hope for his "well-trained" army.

Aware of this, Hudson slowed down his march again. He traveled every morning, set up camp in the afternoon, and picked up some game to improve his food.

Plump porcupines, sturdy elk, jubilant hares, and vigorous pheasants... have all become frequent guests on Hudson's dining table.

Even ordinary soldiers can get a bowl of broth from time to time.

The selfless gift of nature made Hudson understand why there were so many wandering knights in Aslant.

Land, forests, rivers, grasslands... are all the private domain of nobles. Without the permission of nobles, civilians cannot fish and hunt privately.

It's just that the nobles hunt once in a while, but obviously they can't keep up with the reproduction rate of wild beasts, which is why the current situation of prey everywhere.

The rules are for ordinary people and do not apply to nobles at all. Even the worst wandering knights can hunt freely. Even if they are discovered by their masters, they will be expelled at most.

Having just sent away a porcupine, Hudson was in high spirits when he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Master, Knight Chelsea invites you to come over for a banquet."

Preparing to mix in aristocratic circles, in order to brighten his eyes, Hudson also gained a lot of knowledge in the circles.

"But the Chelsea knight of the Harkerian family?"

Hudson asked.

There is no way around it. The rate of duplicate names among nobles in the Aslant continent is too high. If you don't note the family, you can't tell them apart at all.

If you don't understand these things clearly and come to visit someone rashly, it will be easy to make a joke.

"Yes, Master."

The guard's answer made Hudson feel at ease. Without too much hesitation, he replied directly: "Tell the person who came here that I will go over after settling in."

"Banquets" are also a major feature of aristocratic groups. Whether it is making connections, eating, drinking and having fun, or discussing matters, everything can be done at banquets.

To judge how well connected a family is, just look at how many guests they have at a banquet.

Along the way, Hudson often accepted banquets. It was just not to exchange feelings, but to get him and his men out of the way quickly.

Of course, such emotionally hurtful things cannot be said directly. A little hint is enough.

Nobles care about face the most. Unless absolutely necessary, no one will openly fall out.

Many times, even if deep down deep down, you want to kill the other person immediately, you still have to show your aristocratic demeanor on the outside.

And once the face is openly revealed, it will basically reach the point where it will never stop, and it will be difficult to have any room for maneuver.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for a dandy to survive past three episodes. If you offend too many people, you will eventually encounter the ironclad.

As a smart person, Hudson will naturally not offend others easily and always give him face every time.

As long as the master comes out to express his position, after purchasing the supplies, he will definitely break camp and leave. If the master does not come out, then he will set up camp and train soldiers.

Perhaps because he strictly enforced military discipline and never caused any trouble, everyone communicated harmoniously and expanded a lot of contacts.

With more experience, Hudson gradually got used to the way nobles get along with each other.

After arranging camp affairs, he arrived at the castle with several attendants. The scene in front of him left Hudson speechless. This was probably the worst castle he had ever seen.

But thinking about the rumors about this Chelsea knight, Hudson didn't find it strange.

"The knight addicted to magic", this is what everyone calls him openly, but secretly he also has a nickname - "the prodigal son".

Although he obviously has no talent for magic, he still fantasizes about becoming a magician. He does messy research all day long and makes his family miserable.

If it were just this, everyone would be laughing and laughing. There are also many prodigal nobles, so it would be a good thing to reduce one competitor.

He loves to toss, but this knight from Chelsea is very talented in training. He is a rare great knight in Sac County, and he even hopes to become a silver knight.

Logically speaking, with his strength and a little hard work, the family business can be further improved. However, the Chelsea Knight refused, and even if he achieved military exploits, he chose to convert it into a monetary reward.

There is no doubt that all the money has been invested in magic research. Sometimes in order to obtain magic materials, he can also become a mercenary to work for the Mage Association.

The strong strength and deviant experience made the Chelsea knight a "legendary" figure.

Although the castle is dilapidated, Hudson believes that it is still very safe. As long as the surrounding lords are not crazy, they will not come to seek bad luck for a great knight.

Of course, the main reason is poverty. When faced with a poor man as powerful as Chelsea, even if he wins the battle, he will not be able to squeeze out any profit.

"Little Redman, long time no see!"

A cheerful voice sounded, and Hudson's good mood suddenly disappeared, and he explained helplessly: "Uncle Chelsea, I am Hudson, and little Redman is my brother."

This was the most helpless part for Hudson. He really couldn't figure out why father and son should share the same name. However, this situation was very common in aristocratic circles.

Especially for a family with five generations living under one roof, if there is a family gathering, just distinguishing the names will probably make people collapse.

I really don’t know when my family got involved with Chelsea, but I guess even if they were friends, my father wouldn’t tell them.

After all, the reputation of the man in front of him in the aristocratic circle is not very good. The friendship of the great knight is important, but I can't stand this man who always likes to borrow money, and he always borrows money and never repays it.
