Chapter 445 Classic falls into the water(1/2)
Author: Xin Haiyue 1
The biggest characteristic of young people is their daring to do anything. After receiving Hudson's reminder, Raquel reported to the Royal Capital without even thinking.
That kind of thing should give the senior officials of the principality a headache!
Although as a child of a veteran nobleman, Raquel really likes the practice of breaking the rules, but compared with the principality's strategy, occasionally breaking through the bottom line is not acceptable.
Besides, is there very little bottom line for the Principality of Moxi to break through?
Since the invasion of the orcs, the Principality of Moxi has passively started the "road of improvement in the east".
With changes time and time again, the original political system has changed unknowingly. The nobles' current thoughts have changed from adhering to tradition to surviving and moving eastward.
The essence of choosing to expand overseas is that the top leaders of the Principality of Moxi were frightened by the successive wars and had no sense of security at all. Their sense of crisis drove them to find ways to enhance their own strength.
Among the many strategies to strengthen the army, the one that has the least impact on everyone's interests and is most likely to succeed will naturally lead to external expansion.
Focusing on the Warhammer Kingdom, could it be that because of the decline of that neighbor, a group of powerful people foolishly packed themselves up and showed up at the door.
To put it bluntly, once the two sides officially fall out, they can deal with the top brass of the Warhammer Kingdom as soon as possible.
…
"What do we think of Frontline's proposal on canonizing nobles?"
George asked deliberately changing the concept.
There is no problem in canonizing nobles. It is an indispensable activity after every war. But it is another matter to ennoble common people as nobility.
When it comes to sensitive topics that challenge unspoken rules, even if you are not a king, you will inevitably have a headache.
"Bidong, is this the best time to expand westward? Is it worth paying some price for this?
After all, the Warhammer Kingdom is a big country. No matter how it declines, it still has some strength. If it is not handled well, the subsequent rule will be very troublesome.
I wonder if the local powerful factions don’t have much appetite, so taking the opportunity to draw them into the principality would be a good choice.”
Count Martins was the first to support.
The bottom line is that it can be used to break through. Using non-violent means to invade the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom is undoubtedly the best choice.
Is it worth it to cause some controversy over this? It is not an external matter of the principality, so I just need to be thick-skinned, or at worst, I will be laughed at.
Anyway, all countries are now engaged in a continental war, and if they want to intervene, it is beyond their reach.
"Your Majesty, Count Martins is wrong. It's just a promotion to the nobility. They can just go as usual."
Prime Minister Herceg opened his eyes and told lies without changing his expression.
The old order of the towns destroyed by the war is very clear, and the original household registration information is very important. As the victors modify the information, the common people and serfs become declining aristocrats.
With so many nobles dying in the Warhammer Kingdom, it is not natural for a relative to inherit the title of the wrong party.
There is one more procedure, so there is no game outside the system. Noble children pledge allegiance to the Principality of Moxi, and canonizing them as nobility is completely in line with the rules.
…
"Miss Delise, they meet again."
In what he thought was a kind way, he greeted the wrong party, but as expected he received a red eye. Hudson was not angry at all because the wrong party refused to come over to sign the contract.
The two parties have reached an agreement, but there is still a lack of mutual trust. As to whether to ensure that the treaty can be fulfilled, according to the prior agreement, senior leaders of both parties are required to sign the contract.
As the kingdom's military boss, it was natural for Hudson to hide away.
I glanced at the contract document and saw that it had been signed by dozens of high-level officials from the kingdom and the elves, including the elf sanctuary in front of me. The only one missing now was Hudson.
After glancing at the contract and making sure there were no problems, Hudson signed his name directly in person.
The moment the pen was written, he felt the mysterious power of Liquid Chang falling on his body. Suddenly the mysterious compass outside his body moved, as if trying to break free from the shackles of that power, and Hudson rushed to intervene.
It is good to break away from the shackles of the power of the contract, but it is absolutely wrong to do it now. Doing things in front of other people's sanctuary elves is too disrespectful.
Regardless of whether Yandong is a kingdom or not, Hudson personally needs to stabilize the elves. As for the follow-up issues, we will discuss them later.
The treaty signed that time was a non-aggression treaty. The two sides were separated by the Principality of Moxi. Under normal circumstances, the East would not be able to fight at all.
If nothing else happens, the top leaders of the Principality of Moxi will also be forced to sign a unilateral commitment: a treaty not to send troops.
There is a mismatch between strength and right to speak. Just because the elves can talk to the Alpha Kingdom calmly does not mean they will give the Mossi people the same treatment.
"Marshal Hudson, the contract has come into effect, it's time for me to release him."
Delise said as calmly as possible.
During the confinement period when the two of them were in contact, she had been suffering. Please consider that there are many tribesmen in prisoner-of-war camps, so she would not give him a good look.
"Miss Delis, it is not possible to release them, but I can see them first.
Wrong, the task of guarding the prisoners has been handed over to the Warhammer Kingdom's resistance forces. I can communicate with them on specific matters.
In recent days, the coalition forces of the Ancient Relics have appeared frequently. The prisoner-of-war camps have been attacked many times. They have stepped up their vigilance and will ensure the safety of the prisoners of war."
Hudson said without missing a beat.
It was impossible to release the people, and the only way to take them away was to rob the camp.
It has long been known to everyone that there are elven prisoners among the expeditionary army, so they must disappear without knowing it.
Hudson, who cherished his feathers, did not want to leave a stain on his appearance.
"Farewell!"
After saying that, Delise turned around and left. The meaning of not wanting to see her was directly revealed.
Seeing that scene, Hudson smiled slightly. It would be best if he didn't want to be seen. Getting too close to high-level officials from a foreign race would not be a good thing.
No matter how secretive the kingdom is, it will definitely be exposed one day in the future. It may be time to settle old scores at some point. There is never tenderness in politics.
The deeper the mixture, the harder it will be to escape in the future.
That kind of threat does not come from abroad, and it is very likely that it comes from abroad.
As for whether it should be kept secret, only a few high-ranking officials in the kingdom knew about the plan. The nobles of the remaining East Kingdom could only speculate, but they were not sure what exactly happened.
During the war, everyone could understand that "there is no kingdom". After the war, there will be many people deliberately pretending to be confused and using this as an excuse.
Once a quarrel broke out, King Caesar IV would certainly be the first to bear the brunt, but Marshal Hudson would also inevitably be criticized verbally and in writing.
Wartime heroes and postwar sinners have happened once or twice in human history.
As a powerful person, Hudson is not worried about being liquidated, but stains can be avoided, and he should try to avoid them as much as possible.
"Send the order to go east, the expeditionary army will break camp and return home in the bright moon!"
All the actors are in place, and the drama of Warhammer Kingdom will not go away until his coach leaves.
…
Outside an abandoned manor, several senior leaders of the Tegusta resistance organization gathered together to discuss the future destiny of the organization.
"So, do we think the Mosi people's promise is reliable?"
Chief Baxter asked uncertainly.
As a mercenary, he had always dreamed of becoming a noble. But after he really worked hard, he realized how unreliable that idea was.
Even though they are working hard, they are not idle either! The aristocratic children are all too involved externally, so there is no room for outsiders to get involved.
Just listen to the title of knight for military merit. If you want to obtain military merit, you must first win the battle.
Question No: In the past few years, except when one's own people were fighting abroad, the kingdom's troops had been beaten and fled in all directions.
The victory or defeat on the battlefield cannot be changed by a single soldier. If you join, it can only be cannon fodder +1.
You don't want to lick your blood and work for the nobles. It's better to be a mercenary. At least you can earn more.
If the situation develops and he is pushed to the forefront, Baxter becomes an alliance and builds an army.
The lack of vision is now showing its sequelae.
At the moment of life and death, no one had any extra thoughts. If he came out to lead the resistance organization, there would be no problem.
As the situation gradually improves, the future fate of the group must be considered.
Having fought with iron and steel, it is already difficult for everyone to adapt to the idea of asking everyone to go back and become serfs who do not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
"Brother, no matter whether they are real or fake, you have to give them a try. Just ask them to be canonized as nobles, and there is no harm in working for them!
We can't let those brothers of theirs fight their lives to build a fortune, and then just get rich and get the advantage of a country that will run for their lives..."
After all, Fu Fu was wary, and when the words came to his lips, Fu Fu with a scarred face forcefully swallowed them back.
After the separation of the East and West Warhammer Kingdoms, the two princes who succeeded to the throne were both empty-headed monarchs, and the power fell directly into the hands of the great nobles.
The two unlucky kings had not had time to do anything serious since they succeeded to the throne, so they hurriedly fled for their lives and went into exile. Naturally, their reputation among the people fell to the bottom.
Bu Nuo thought to himself that it was okay to accuse the king publicly, and everyone would be very cowardly.
Those who dare to point their noses at the king are not "warriors". More ordinary people are full of awe of the royal power.
"Brother, Scar is right.
The Mossi people won over them and promised to knight everyone. When the time comes, I will become the lord, and they will be able to get a knight.
The representatives sent by the foreign aristocratic lords looked arrogant all day long. Apart from shouting loudly, they had no power at all.
How come their brothers also killed a lot of foreigners and recovered a lot of lost territory for the kingdom. When they were rewarded for their merits, they also asked for a title!
God damn, he has been tax-free for ten years, and he bullies them as if they have never seen any money. It is even more nonsense to be incorporated into the regular army. Even the Kingdom’s army is embarrassing to him!
If you perform well, you can become their retainer, bah!
We obviously want them to work hard and don’t want to give any benefits. If you really want to become their retainers, won’t everyone’s military exploits become theirs?”
The skinny young man shouted angrily.
