king.

Wherever he goes, he is the most eye-catching cub. This damn charm is irresistible.

In the face of the bear of the earth, the number of people who greeted Hudson increased a lot.It's just that he is still an outsider to the whole banquet.

If you want to become a strong person, you must endure the unbearable loneliness of ordinary people, and your communication skills can be imagined.

Those who are both the boss of one side and the strongest of one side mostly only exist in the families of minor nobles.

Among the real big forces, the strongest are often those who abandon worldly power and devote themselves to cultivation.

Spending and drinking all day, busy with mundane chores, and wanting to surpass the decades of hard work of others, that is simply a dream.

Although there can be resource assistance, it does not mean that these hard-working guys will disappear.All the major forces spent a lot of money to cultivate their own cultivation geniuses.

Perhaps in normal times, it is not cost-effective to train these masters.The same resources are used to train the army, and the combat effectiveness that can explode will be stronger, but it is different when encountering emergencies.

For example, in this locust plague, even if there are more ordinary troops, it will be futile to face the locust army.

Among the dense army of locusts, the only ones who could find out and kill the insect king were the experts present.

There are many similar application scenarios.For a big force, when playing games with others, you can not use these masters, but you cannot live without them.

In political games, the existence of top experts is often the best deterrent force.A lot of unnecessary troubles can be avoided.

From the looming activities of everyone on the field, Hudson still faintly discovered the existence of the circle.

Not surprisingly, the Dalton family has the largest number of powerhouses, accounting for nearly [-]% of the total number.

There are also several middle-level nobles in the province, and there are also strong people.As few as a few people, as many as more than ten people.

On the contrary, it is the minor nobles with the largest number of people, whose shadows are rarely seen here.Even if there were a few people who attended the banquet, they were still on the fringes.

Dragons cannot grow in shallow water.

Even with the largest population base, it is still beyond imagination for a small noble who lacks resources to give birth to a strong man.

Even if they are eligible to participate in the banquet, it does not mean that they will have the right to speak.None of the loudest voices on the field came from minor noble families.

If one's own strength is insufficient, in such an occasion, one can only keep a low profile, and keep a low profile.Otherwise, if someone caught him and beat him up, he would be ashamed to face others.

Hudson is one of the exceptions. Although he is very low-key, his own bear is extraordinarily high-profile.

Fortunately, the ancestors of the Earth Bear were strong enough to leave a great reputation in the continent of Aslante.Regarding the performance of Bear Stearns, everyone did not say anything.

Even if some people were dissatisfied, no one dared to make a fuss before they were sure about Bear Stearns' strength.

People and monsters having dinner together, the chaotic banquet, the scene is really not dare to look directly at.

It lasted until Earl Pierce entered the arena. I thought everyone would give this big man some face, Hudson also specially reminded Bear Stearns.

The reality is very slap in the face, and those who stand up to greet them are all a bunch of small characters.

All the bigwigs present didn't pay attention to the governor at all.Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and those who are bragging are still bragging.

Hudson, who is in a bear position, was also fortunate to be a sitting wave, and did not meet him to flatter him.

Remuneration has always been obtained by oneself, and one cannot expect others to give alms.

The hosts believe that the cubs have the strength of a magister, and Hudson is also happy to pretend to be Xiongwei, so he doesn't do things to lose his value.

After a few symbolic responses, Earl Pierce walked to the center of the hall and said solemnly:

"The purpose of inviting everyone here today, I think you all know.

The army of locusts has now swept across Fengyun Province.All the interceptions by the local aristocratic organizations failed, and most of the areas affected by the locusts had no food harvest.

According to the news reported by Fengyun Province, the locusts are currently heading towards our southeastern province.Maybe two days, maybe three days, the overwhelming army of locusts will enter Arbor County.

I will leave the fate of the southeastern province in your hands.

If we can't kill the insect king in time and stop the locust army from looting, I'm afraid our southeastern province will follow in the footsteps of Fengyun province.

Nonsense, not much to say.Tomorrow morning, I will rush to Qiaomu County together, trying to stop the army of locusts out of the country..."

……

The efficient handling method surprised Hudson.Originally, I thought that there would be routine discussions and wrangling, but I didn't expect to announce the result as soon as it came up.

It's not aristocratic at all.

But this is precisely the best way to deal with it right now.

The plague of locusts is imminent. If you don't hurry up and organize people to kill the insect king, it will be too late when the swarms enter the southeastern province.

In fact, even if the insect king is successfully killed, it does not mean that the disaster is over.

Without the insect swarm led by the insect king, the destructive power is still terrible.The only advantage is that after losing the leader, their actions will be uncontrolled, and they will not swarm into the southeastern province.

It can be said that disaster is inevitable.What everyone can do is to kill locusts as much as possible, reduce the number of swarms, and reduce their destructiveness.

Everyone's foundation is in the southeast province, so they can be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope.The army of locusts swept in, and no one's property could be favored.Naturally, no one will mess around at this time.

It's incredible how everything went smoothly, even if there were disagreements.Due to the needs of the overall situation, each of them also chose to hold it in their stomachs.

……

"Baron Hudson, the Earl is welcome!"

The maid's voice surprised Hudson.

After the banquet was over, I thought I could go back and have a good sleep, but I never expected to be retained.

Although they have met several times, there is no friendship between him and Earl Pierce.On the contrary, there are still a few small holidays.

The last time I was in Dardir City, I was wearing small shoes.That unpleasant memory is still fresh in Hudson's mind.

"Lead the way ahead!"

Hudson said calmly.

Looking for him at a time like this, it's impossible to wear small shoes again, right?

If it is really targeted deliberately, Earl Pierce may have a chance to make use of it.There is no point in making troubles at this juncture and affecting the great cause of fighting locust plagues.

Following the maid to the living room, looking at the seven chairs arranged, Hudson sat down very consciously in the last seat.

Experience told him that those who can come to discuss matters at this time are all big shots in the province.As a late pawn, it's better not to be annoying.

Before their butts warmed up, several people entered the hall one after another, all of whom had been photographed at the banquet just now.

The specific strength is unknown, but it looks like an ordinary person.It should be back to basics, there is no way to judge strength based on the strength of breath, the only thing that can be sure is stronger than oneself.

"Baron Hudson, is your bear an adult yet?"

Looking back and forth following the voice, it was a benevolent old magician who asked the question.It's just that Hudson doesn't have a good impression of this person at all, can he reveal his cards casually?

"Master Yuli, don't you think this problem is over?"

Hudson replied angrily.

He was not without gains from the banquet just now.After eavesdropping and observing, Hudson had a preliminary date on how to get along with these old guys.

Being polite, it doesn't make any sense.There are too many flatterers around me, and I have already been immune to it.They won't treat you differently just because of your kindness.

The only thing that can make these guys stand out is their strength.If the strength is not enough, no matter who it is, they will not buy it.

Ask the old guy what the specific background was, but Hudson didn't figure it out.Anyway, his address to Earl Pierce was - Little Pierce.

The governor is so shameless, Hudson doesn't think he can be respected if he answers honestly.

"Ok!"

"This question is indeed a bit presumptuous. It's just that we old guys are very familiar with each other, but your bear strength is not clear.

Next, to deal with the locusts, everyone must cooperate with each other.It is also a practical need to know the strength in advance.

It is said that the Earth Bear will awaken the Gravity Domain after it becomes an adult, and can affect a large part of the surrounding space.

The horror of the locust army lies in its quantity, and its individual strength is almost negligible.Even the worm king of advanced monsters has pitifully low strength.

If your bear, you can use the field of gravity, or slightly affect the pressure of space.So it is definitely of great significance to fight against locust plagues. "

Master Yuli explained with a smile.

Looks like a kind grandpa next door.If he hadn't seen this old guy arguing with others at the banquet, maybe Hudson would have believed it.

"So that's it, Mage Yuli can rest assured. The order of Earth Bear's talent awakening has always been random. It just so happens that Bear Stearns prefers gravity magic, so his talent in this area is quite good."

Hudson pretended to be calm and explained.

Asking about a spell is fine, but if you want to know whether the Earth Bear is an adult, you don't even have to think about it.

Perhaps on other occasions, the Earth Bear might not necessarily be the opponent of these old guys, but when it comes to fighting minions, Bear Stearns is definitely worth ten.

For no other reason than staying power.

The main reason why the Bear of the Earth was able to earn the title of "King of the Earth" is that by stepping on the ground, he can continuously absorb energy supplements from the ground.

The speed of replenishment is dozens of times faster than that of a magician picking up a magic spar.

If the enemies were all scumbags like locusts, Bear Stearns would work from morning to night without any fatigue.

Just to release some magic that consumes less.The energy replenishment speed of the Earth Bear can fully catch up with the output.

This is absolutely unmatched by human magicians.Not to mention releasing magic for a day, and being able to fight for three or four hours, that is a proper strongman.

It's going to be a battle for several days, or even a few months in a row. Those are all legends.As a normal person, there is no way to compare with the legendary pervert.

Earl Pierce, who arrived belatedly, terminated this unpleasant conversation.

The expected combat deployment did not appear at this moment.Considering that the enemy this time is a locust that does not play according to the routine, it seems that it is better to deploy in advance than to adapt to the situation.

"I said everything I needed to say at the banquet just now. The few people left are mainly to deal with the insect king.

According to the collected information, there may be more than one worm king among the worm swarm this time, and there may even be a legendary worm king born.

I want to find these guys in the vast army of locusts and kill them.Looking at the entire southeastern province, there are only a few who can do it.

Others participated in this operation, mainly as assistants.Even if they encountered the insect king, it would be difficult to kill him under the cover of the army of insects.

You can rest assured that as long as you can keep the locusts out of the southeast province, or kill all the kings in the swarm, the benefits that belong to you are indispensable.

Ordinary goods, presumably everyone would look down on them.Afterwards, you can exchange some precious cultivation resources with the Governor's Mansion according to your respective contributions.

The specific list is here. If you want something other than the list, as long as it is available in various companies in the southeastern province, I can also help coordinate it, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to exchange it. "

After hearing Earl Pierce's words, Hudson instantly understood.No wonder the bounty for killing an insect king is only a mere thousand gold coins. It is impossible for ordinary people to complete this task.

If the reward is set too high, there must be "reckless men" under the heavy reward.A group of foolish people rushed into the swarm of insects, and instead of killing the insect king, they were overthrown by the locusts, which would be a shame.

Since the task cannot be completed, there is no need to show them the real task reward.

To save them from failing to do things and doing more than bad things.If the insect king was disturbed in advance and the opponent was prepared, it would actually increase the difficulty of hunting.

Looking at the treasures on the list, more than two-thirds of them, Hudson didn't even know what they were.But this does not affect his attention to these items.

Resources that can assist high-level professionals in their cultivation are precious anywhere.Even if you don't use it yourself, you can take it out and exchange it.

All the powerhouses present are the core figures of the major forces, even if they put a hundred thousand gold coins in front of their eyes, it may not be able to make them tempted.

But these cultivation resources can mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.In high society, these resources are definitely better than gold coins.

It seems that the plague of locusts should have frightened the major forces.Even these rare treasures are taken out at this moment.

Just looking around, Hudson suddenly realized something was wrong.It seems that other than himself, these old guys are members of all major forces.

Take out the treasures by yourself and divide them among your family.All the expenses afterwards were shared by the noble lords in the province.

No wonder it was so generous, it was originally prepared for these people.After taking out the co-authored things and turning them around, it was reasonable to ask all the nobles to pay for the reimbursement.

Maybe these things have been allocated in advance.The so-called exchange is just a cover-up for everyone to see.

The prerequisite is: be able to solve the problem.

If you fail to intercept the locusts, or if you fail to kill the insect king, then everyone's busy work will be in vain.If the problem cannot be solved, the small and medium-sized nobles below will not obediently pay.

Maybe that's why Hudson was able to get in here.After all, the Earth Bear is really tough on small soldiers like locusts.

Not only the Earth Bear, but most monster races are very lethal to locusts.

As soon as the aura of the high-level monster was released, all the locusts within a radius of tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters, were all dead.

Looking at the previous locust plagues, you can see the scope of these guys' activities.The swarms always avoided the Warcraft inhabited areas, and no insect king had ever led a team to attack the Warcraft Mountains.

I just don't know if the feces of monsters can scare locusts.If it works, Hudson still can't do anything.

Although the bears in his family eat more, they pull less.I don't know where the food is eaten, and it doesn't conform to the law of conservation of mass at all.

But the poor feces, the fertility is really good.It must be diluted many times before it can be irrigated into the field.

……

"Baron Hudson, do you have any objections?"

Earl Pierce's words made Hudson instantly wake up from his association.If the items on the list are pre-determined, it will be embarrassing for him, a temporary migrant worker.

Let's grab it together with these gangsters, not to mention that it is easy to offend people, and you may be severely beaten by the society.

After all, rules are made by the strong.It is also a matter of course for people to use their privileges to make a small modification.

If you don't compete with these guys, Hudson will feel panicked?
You can't paddle all the way and let the plague of locusts plunder, right?
For other things, Master Hudson is a professional water rower, but this time the situation is obviously different.

Let the plague of locusts run wild, and the mountain leaders will not be able to escape either.Hudson will definitely not do it if he lifts a rock and shoots himself in the foot.

"Your Excellency Governor, if I exchange the credit I have obtained with other people for something else, it should be allowed, right?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

In theory, this kind of insider trading should be strictly cracked down.The best example is military merit. The kingdom stipulates with the most stringent laws and regulations: any transaction of military merit is prohibited.

In order to protect the interests of small and medium nobles, the kingdom has always had zero tolerance for such things.

Once discovered, not only the military merits will be lost, but even the noble status will be deprived.Even the family behind him will be implicated.

Fighting locust plagues is not a war, but in a sense, it still belongs to the same category as military exploits.Participating in this kind of combat is also considered military service.

If the credit is great enough, for example: killing the legendary "worm emperor" and saving the loss of the kingdom, a knighthood is also possible.

"no!
Rules are rules, and no one is allowed to violate them.

Whoever has the credit belongs to it, and no one can take it! "

Earl Pierce said righteously.

It's just that his encouraging eyes are clearly telling Hudson: the boy is good, he can get on the road so soon, he has a future!
Even the few people who attended the meeting together looked at Hudson kindly.Obviously, as long as you don't compete with them for precious cultivation resources, other problems are fine.

The scene in front of him made Hudson completely dead.Sure enough, there is nothing new under the sun.

In a world where the class is highly monopolized and solidified, how can there be no insider operations?
As a latecomer, being able to share a share of the pie is because the big shots pay attention to eating.If you run to snatch food over your own means, then get ready to be beaten by the society!
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Earl, Hudson has been educated!"

While speaking, Hudson took the opportunity to salute Earl Pierce.

With practical actions, I show that I am a good boy who understands the rules, only takes what I deserve, and will never cross the line and reach out to things that should not be touched.
