Chapter 298 The assassination case
Looking at the average price given by the chambers of commerce, Hudson nodded with satisfaction. The price was slightly higher than his estimated price, and it was obvious that everyone was still very proud of it.
A discount of 1.28 million bonds for 1.5 million gold coins is a lie to make money. However, the premium of more than 90% of this price is the bonus brought by his position as the commander.
In the Aslant continent where the class is stable, we are now partners, and it is likely that they will still be partners in the future. This is how the circle was established.
For the Chamber of Commerce, when going out to do business, you always have to "first politics, then trade". If you don't understand this, no matter how big a deal is, it will be ruined.
The only regret is that this 1.5 million gold coins are also just wealth on paper. He must wait until everyone sells the bonds to get the money.
Hudson was not worried about this. Even if the Moseys were to storm, they would not storm immediately. At least the interest payment this year is still guaranteed.
It seems that the premium is very high, but the interest payment time for some bonds is about to arrive. The latest one can be redeemed in five months.
Within five months, 160,000 interest can be recovered. The capital premium of 220,000 gold coins seems to be unacceptable.
The debt will storm in the future, and the one who was cheated was only the last takeover. I don’t know how many times it has changed hands during this period.
If it weren't for the limited channels in hand and the huge amount of bonds could not be cashed out in a short period of time, Hudson wouldn't have asked these chambers of commerce for help.
If nothing unexpected happens, the bond prices of Mosey's Principality will continue to rise in the capital market for some time in the future.
Smart nobles will find a reasonable opportunity to sell the war bonds in their hands and cash out.
In fact, in addition to the war bonds of the Principal of Mosey, Hudson also held 500,000 war bonds of the Kingdom of Alpha.
It has nothing to do with economic gains, and buying these bonds is purely a political need. The king and the great nobles took the lead in paying for subscription.
It could have been sold together to cash out, but Hudson didn't do that.
As a great nobleman of the kingdom, he may not be optimistic about the Principality of Mosey, but he must be optimistic about the Kingdom of Alpha.
Even if the kingdom's finances really go bankrupt, the great nobles can only grit their teeth and hold on. It seems a bit tragic, but this is exactly what Hudson appreciates the most.
If the ruling class of a country cannot share hardships with the country, then the country is destined to be unable to withstand the wind and rain.
The greatest significance of the existence of a trading platform is not how much benefit Hudson has gained, but that it stimulates the coalition's combat enthusiasm.
In the past, people killed enemies on the front line mainly to show off their courage and show off their courage. Now there is another reason - interests.
Other things may be virtual, but the spoils are real.
Although the Orc Empire is poor overall, a country still has rich people. Orcs do not cover their bodies, but this does not affect the tribe leaders' silk and satin.
Not only can wealth be cashed out, but slaves are also a good deal. It is not convenient to carry them in the front, so they can only be solved with one knife, but now they can earn it if they catch them.
Seeing the coalition forces killing all directions on the battlefield, the Kingdom Army was eager to try, but Hudson forced everyone to suppress their desire to make money.
The Kingdom of Alpha is the biggest winner in the fight against the orc empire. If you come out to compete with your allies for the spoils, it would be too ugly to eat.
What's more, the coalition forces can kill all directions because they are all elites among the major forces, and most of the kingdom's army is serf soldiers.
I followed the escort of food and grass and ran to the front line to fight with the orcs. What if I was pushed back by the enemy?
As the commander of the army, Hudson needed stability. After defeating the orcs, the credit for transporting food and grass to ensure the logistics of the army was stable.
Even if you want to kill the generals and kill the enemy, you have to wait until the coalition forces severely damage the enemy's main force before going to finish the attack!
Hudson is the professional one to beat the dog in the water.
"Earl, the old land of the Bemon Royal Court is ahead. Unfortunately, those damn Bemons burned the camp with a fire before evacuating, and now there is only a piece of ruins left!"
After listening to the introduction of the adjutant Jose, Hudson was speechless. He forced him to give up the imperial court and run away. Can he still expect him to leave the old capital politely?
It doesn’t matter if the broken walls and ruins are full of desolation. As long as you step on the Bemon Imperial Court, it will be a great strategic victory.
The logistics troops moved all the way to the orcs' imperial court, and the coalition forces on the front line were even faster.
At the current pace of progress, we can be optimistic that we can occupy the orc prairie within the year and force the orcs to a real bitter and cold land.
"It doesn't matter, the ruins are good! The ruins are just about to be rebuilt, but since this place is the Bemon Imperial Court, let's keep it first.
Maybe His Majesty the King will come here to come and go there in person when he has a good mood.
The order was sent to the Duke of Kavadia, telling him that the food and grass stored in Fengyue Port could be arranged for transportation now.
There is also a dock left, which is specially provided for merchant ships. Any merchant ship holding a pass issued by the command center can use this dock!"
It has to be admitted that the power of magic is powerful. With current productivity, to clear the waterways in the sea, it must be based on years.
But the high-level magicians passed by, and in just a few days, they completed the channel cleaning mission.
With an additional sea transportation line, the originally slightly strenuous logistics will be resurrected immediately.
I just don’t know what the orcs would think. I carefully selected a group of elite soldiers from the army, and after paying a heavy price, I mingled into the territory of the Alpha Kingdom.
As soon as we started to show our power, the human race's transportation routes changed again. The early inland transportation was because a large amount of strategic materials were hoarded in the inland areas.
However, those in stocks have been consumed for a long time. Now, the Alpha Kingdom can only supply one-third of the logistics of the army, and the rest are purchased from overseas.
If they want to cut off the transportation line, unless they can fight from north to south, cross the Kingdom of Alpha, and then continue to move forward, destroying all the coastal cities of the human race.
...
"Catch the assassin!"
The sharp sound instantly caused chaos on the scene.
As the protagonist, Caesar III has been surrounded by guards to protect.
The group of assassins who suddenly emerged were blocked by the masters guarding in the secret before they could rush over.
Facing the guards who kept coming, the assassin who exposed his identity was killed or injured in an instant.
In the kitchen of the banquet, the five orc masters who finally got in were already very panicked at this moment.
They haven't started yet, why did they leave and get exposed?
"Don't panic. Before the alchemy potion expires, we are no different from ordinary humans. Just look at the direction of the soldiers' progress and you will know that it is not us who are discovered!"
The leader said with a compulsive attitude.
"Look for an opportunity to do it. Since an assassin is exposed, the enemy will definitely conduct a strict investigation.
No matter how much we conceal, there is a subtle gap between us and normal humans. As long as the enemy conducts in-depth investigations, it is only a matter of time before exposure is revealed.
Even if he avoided this search, Caesar III would be more vigilant. It would be difficult to get close to him next time!"
...
He witnessed an assassination in person, and there was no expression on Caesar III's face. This was the seventeenth time he had been assassinated since he ascended the throne.
The difference is that almost all the assassinations in the front were discovered and resolved by the city guards in advance before the assassination was carried out.
It was the first time in his life that Caesar III was so close to the assassin. Unfortunately, although these assassins were lurking well, they still exposed their identities the moment before the launch.
"Catch the living!"
As soon as Caesar III finished speaking, five figures suddenly appeared and headed straight for his position. In a flash, the guards who were blocking the front went to see the Lord of Dawn first.
"Master!"
Realizing this, Caesar III's face also became ugly. It was obvious that two waves of people participated in the assassination. Compared with the guys in front, the assassination methods of the five killers behind were obviously much more immature.
The technique and business are unbearable. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer guards around you, Caesar III couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, please avoid one or two for now."
As soon as the Grand Duke of Newfoundland finished speaking, a dagger suddenly appeared on Caesar III's back. The one who took action was a maid with no strength.
Before everyone could react, the successful maid smiled slightly on her face and suddenly fell to the ground. A stream of blood filled with foul smell slowly flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was stunned.
No one would have thought that the maid who had been with Caesar III for many years would be an assassin?
Originally, I was preparing for a full fishing plan, but I didn't expect to catch a catfish that was extremely poisonous, and the venom that was sprayed backed the angler.
"His Majesty!"
Just when everyone was panicked, a holy light magic fell on Caesar III in time, temporarily saving his life.
After checking closer, Archbishop Tyron's face changed drastically, and he said in a panic: "There are unknown toxins on the dagger, and ordinary treatment methods are useless. You must cast the light-type forbidden spell!
Prime Minister, please send someone to summon the high-level priests in the city. The rest of them will protect here first, so that people will not touch His Majesty's body."
"good!"
The Grand Duke of Newfoundland nodded immediately.
After a brief loss of consciousness, everyone quickly realized that Caesar III's safety was personally guarded by a group of big men in the court, and no one could believe it at this moment.
The commander of the guard who realized that the matter was going on, led the team to attack the assassins. If he didn't show it for a while, he would be finished.
The king had an accident under his protection, and this responsibility was beyond his ability to bear it. Even if he took down the assassin, he could only slightly relieve his guilt.
"The goal is successful, withdraw!"
As soon as the voice landed, not only the assassins on the field rushed out, but dozens of figures also emerged from the crowd and fled outside frantically.
This scene fell into the eyes of the princes and ministers, and was even more furious.
At a diplomatic banquet, so many assassins were involved, and they simply put the face of the Alpha Kingdom on the ground and ravaged it.
To be continued...
