king.

Chapter 768: Cracked Land
A dragon roar broke through the air, and Hudson appeared above the crowd in a stylish manner.

"Old friend, I am not late!"

A simple greeting expressed Hudson's complicated feelings at the moment.

When I revisited the place, the palace was still the same palace, but the princes and nobles sitting in the court had changed one after another.

Not to mention those politicians, even the generals who had followed him to resist the invasion of orcs had all died out by now.

I glanced at the crowd, but couldn't find many familiar faces.

Few generals who are active on the battlefield all year round can live long.

It has been more than 50 years since the Battle of Budapest, and the young men of the past have now grown gray-haired.

Those who are still alive today are the lucky ones, and most of them have turned into dust.

"Ha ha……

not late!

not late!

Hudson, you came at the right time!
The auspicious day is today, and you come here now to be a witness!"

It can be seen that George I is old.

Even when speaking, he no longer has the vitality he once had.

But the smile on his face was still so sincere.

When people get older, they can't help but feel nostalgic.

As a monarch, he was destined to be lonely, and Hudson was one of his few friends.

Everyone present knew of their friendship, and they all held their breath tacitly, for fear of disturbing their conversation.

"Then let's begin the ceremony. I know you've been preparing for this day for fifty years, and now the time has finally come!"

Hudson said slightly sadly.

In George I he sensed a faint air of death, a call to arms that his fate was imminent.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature and cannot be reversed by external forces.

Even if he used magic potions to prolong his life, it would not increase his lifespan by much. It was still a torture for him.

When sending his father Redman away a few years ago, Hudson prepared something to prolong his life, but he was rejected.

On the one hand, he didn't want to waste family resources, but on the other hand, his wish had been fulfilled and he didn't want to live in misery.

Except for the strong ones who are in a bottleneck period and want to give it a try to break through the current realm, most people will not forcibly extend their lifespan.

There are ways to avoid suffering, but the cost is so high that no one can afford it.

Theoretically, as long as you continue to use the water of life to replenish your vitality, you can reach the limit of life.

Just think about it, even the strong ones within the elves dare not be so extravagant, let alone outsiders.

"let's start!"

With an order from George I, the founding ceremony of the Kingdom of Moshi officially began.

As the most special guest in the ceremony, Hudson did not go to the audience seats, but took out the photo stone to record in the air.

At this exciting moment, several beautiful figures flying from afar attracted the attention of the whole audience.

"Everyone, you shouldn't come here on an occasion like today!"

Hudson said unhappily.

Although the armistice treaty was signed, the conflict between humans and elves could not be resolved.

In the last continental war, countless masters from both races died in battle, and it would be difficult to forget the hatred in just a few decades.

“Marshal Hudson, rest assured!
We are here today just to watch the ceremony, we won't do anything rash."

Delis said with some fear.

Deep down, she cursed herself for being stupid. She knew Hudson and George I were friends, but she still came at this time.

With this person in front of him, it would not be so easy to force the Mossi people to accept the conditions.

“It would be best if this could happen!
For the sake of friendship between our two races, it would certainly be best if there were no conflicts.

If there is really something going on, it’s the same if you tell me.

As the human marshal, I can still make decisions on behalf of the alliance on small matters."

Hudson responded with a grin.

On the battlefield, everyone serves his own master, and life and death among his men does not matter. In such a peaceful era, he really does not want to have a conflict with the elves.

Especially on an occasion like today, as long as both parties start fighting, the day of great joy will turn into a day of great sorrow.

Given George I's physical condition, he obviously couldn't stand such stimulation.

We are clearly here to reminisce about the past, but it would be awkward if it suddenly turns into a funeral.

While the two sides had no formal contact, he simply used the name of the Human Alliance to take over the matter.

The Moshi Kingdom fears the elves, but the humans are not afraid of them. The nature is different, so both sides have more confidence in the negotiations.

"Hudson, I'm not going to waste my time talking to you.

This time I came here to tell the Mossi people that from now on, the trade will be closed and all humans are prohibited from entering the territory of our elves.

If anyone trespasses, we will only trouble the Moshi government!"

Delis replied unhappily.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, strong countries can be so domineering towards weak countries.

Perhaps there is suspicion of bullying, but what they issued was an ultimatum, and the Moshi Kingdom certainly could not refuse.

The Human Alliance has nothing to say on this issue.

According to the armistice treaty, the elves have absolute management rights over their own territories. This is their internal affairs and humans have no right to interfere.

As one of the contracting parties, Hudson could not deny the agreement.

“The Kingdom of Moshi will issue a public announcement: No one is allowed to enter your territory. The garrison will try its best to intercept them, but there is no guarantee that they will be completely eliminated.

If there are really people who don't know how to live or die, just kill them. That's how we've always dealt with them!"

Hudson said nonchalantly.

His intuition told him that the elves must be doing something that was not convenient for outsiders to know.

It's just that he doesn't have that strong curiosity about this kind of thing.

Even if you want to spy, you can't be so stupid as to send human spies in.

This kind of stupid thing that gives others a handle will make you completely in the wrong once you are caught by others.

Now, the only ones who dare to go deep into the territory of the elves are those bold and reckless slave-hunting groups.

In fact, in recent years, there have been very few elven slaves on the continent of Aslant.

Under the crackdown by the Principality of Moshi and the three countries of the Central Continent, illegal organizations such as slave-hunting groups are almost extinct from the continent.

No matter how high a price the nobles in the rear offer, they cannot stop the fear of the countries on the front lines!

Even if there is no war, the masters of the elves can cause them serious injuries if they come out and take action.

It is obviously not a wise move to provoke the elves for some shabby slave-hunting groups.

“Marshal Hudson, these promises alone are not enough.

It's easy to deal with ordinary people breaking in, but what if you are too curious and want to come and see it yourself?"

Delis asked scrutinizingly.

A mere slave-hunting group is not worth the elves' attention.

They came here specifically to give a warning, and their target was obviously the strong human beings.

Hudson, who has an incredible record and is known as the Sanctuary Butcher, is undoubtedly the focus of attention.

"Miss Delis, do you think I'm a fool?"

Hudson asked back unhappily.

He really looked down on people. Although he was very curious, he would never put himself in danger.

Anyone else who enters the elves' territory has a chance of coming back alive as long as they are not too high-profile.

Hudson, whose hatred value was full, estimated that as soon as he showed up in the elves' territory, he would immediately be surrounded and killed by many powerful elves.

A tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves.

Whether he can escape unscathed depends entirely on his luck.

This suicidal behavior is clearly inconsistent with Hudson's cautious style.

"Humph!"

"The message has been delivered, let's go!"

Seeing the elves leaving cursing, Hudson's face remained calm, but the Mossi people below were boiling with anger.

The elves don't like war and rarely cause border frictions, so they can be considered a relatively worry-free neighbor.

However, this neighbor is too powerful, and even if they do nothing, it will still bring them heavy pressure.

Every time the elves sent representatives, they would entertain them well, for fear of getting into trouble.

The cautious response was not in vain, and decades of peace on the border proved the correctness of this strategy.

Since you have gained benefits, face is naturally nothing.

This was the first time anyone had seen someone being sent away with just a few words.

Considering Hudson's identity, everyone quickly calmed down after a brief shock.

A near-mythical figure, Hudson has so many legendary stories that it is only logical to add another one.

Time passed minute by minute, the ceremony was completed, and the ceremony ended normally. Countless Moshi people breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Hudson sent away the uninvited elves. If these guys were allowed to cause trouble, the newly established Moshi Kingdom would have become an international laughing stock.

Noticing the grateful eyes of the crowd, Hudson went straight into the back garden of the palace without stopping, and sat at the stone table waiting for the arrival of George I.

This is the place they visit most often. Almost every time they come here, they will sit here.

After briefly explaining the purpose of the elves' visit, George I remained exceptionally calm. This was obviously not the first time he had encountered such an operation, and he was now somewhat numb to it.

"Thanks, Hudson!
If you hadn't intervened today, those elves would have definitely given me a warning.

As for the ban on the elves, it happens almost every few years.

Initially, I tried to investigate, but lost a lot of manpower, and in the end, I found nothing.

The elves must be doing something big and deliberately released smoke bombs to confuse our vision.

The Moshi Kingdom has limited strength and is unable to compete with them head-on.

The Human Alliance is thousands of miles away and cannot influence what is happening here, so we can only let them go.

Let’s not talk about these annoying things. I haven’t seen you for decades, and you haven’t changed at all, but I am already on the verge of death.

I really regret not listening to your advice and wasting my time on enjoying myself. By the time I realized that life is short and time is precious, it was already too late.

Not only did I miss out, but my sons also followed in my footsteps.

If this continues, there will be no Saint Domain strongmen born in the royal family, and problems will arise sooner or later."

George I couldn't help but sigh.

It can be seen from his eyes that he hoped Hudson would accept his grandson as an apprentice, but in the end he did not have the heart to ask.

Friendships between friends are not to be abused. If you use them up now, it will be difficult to seek help next time.

After all, his grandchildren were only considered to be of decent talent. Even if they were trained at great expense, the probability of them being able to break through to the Saint Realm would not be too high.

"Why panic? Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As for cultivation, you can only rely on your own efforts.

The birth of every strong person has his own unique path, which is difficult to completely replicate.

It is still unknown whether those sons can cross the threshold of the holy land.

George, you've done a great job.

In the past few decades, more than 90% of the countries on the continent have become the dust of history. The Principality of Moshi has been able to grow against the trend, which has exceeded many people's expectations.

Even I did not expect that you could reach this point today in such a bad strategic position.

Cherish the life in front of you. Thinking too much will only add to your troubles!"

Hudson spoke in a soothing voice.

Helping to take care of the children was out of the question. The family's grandchildren, nephews, and cousins ​​alone formed a school.

One or two little ones may look lively and cute, but once there are too many of them and they keep acting naughty and causing trouble all day long, it will be a headache.

"It's time to be more open-minded. My age is considered long-lived among monarchs.

Compared to those unlucky people whose countries were destroyed and families ruined, I was lucky. The birth of the Moshi Kingdom was purely a stroke of luck.

If the elves had fully intervened in the war when the orcs invaded for the first time, I would probably be dead by now.

......"

Before George could finish his words, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

If Hudson had not reacted quickly enough and released the magic barrier in time, the tea on the stone table would have been overturned.

"It's an earthquake!"

George said bitterly.

The founding ceremony had just passed, and such a tragic thing happened. Where could he go to seek justice?

With the guidance of someone with good intentions, it will be another political disaster. The Moshi Kingdom is also not a monolithic entity, but King George has a high enough prestige.

"Natural disasters cannot be stopped by human power, so just sit here and relax. Bear Stearns, go and see how big the earthquake affects."

Hudson said calmly.

The tiles on the palace fell down with a clatter. The plants in the garden fell to the ground one after another. Even people couldn't stand steadily, let alone do anything.

Organizing people to fight against the earthquake and provide disaster relief is a matter after the earthquake. What we can do now is to get through the crisis first and then consider other things.

……

"Hudson, this earthquake has a very large range. I went out for a walk and saw disaster areas everywhere. It seemed as if the earth was about to turn over.

I have lived for so many years, and except for the fall of the Kingdom of God last time, I have never witnessed such a grand scene.

Judging from the energy fluctuations, it should be coming from the elves. I sensed many powerful auras, so I didn't go over to check. "

Hudson was speechless watching Bear Stearns's dancing performance. A young bear that was only several dozen years old acted like an antique that had lived for thousands of years.

“No need to check, it must be those elves causing trouble.

This incident happened right after the ban was issued. It's obviously a warning to me not to meddle in other people's business!"

Hudson couldn't help but curse.

The strongest man in the continent was actually threatened like this.

Unfortunately, we still don’t know what exactly happened, so we cannot provide accurate feedback to the Human Alliance.

Hudson had not lived long enough, and was not prepared to venture deep into the territory of the elves before the arrival of the human masters.

The information brought by Bear Stearns was enough, and the enemy was obviously prepared in advance.

If you barge in foolishly, you would be irresponsible for your own life.

After knowing the reason, George I calmed down.

No matter what the elves are doing, the enemy cannot attack us because of the armistice treaty.

There is no risk of national destruction. It's just a mere earthquake, and we can just endure it.

Remember the grudges first, and wait for the opportunity to retaliate when you have the strength in the future.

……

Elf forest.

The "Land Splitting Plan" was launched, and the faces of the elves' high-ranking officials became nervous. After tens of thousands of years of planning, the time had finally come to see the results.

"Don't worry, everyone. Thanks to the efforts of our ancestors, the land under our feet can now be roughly regarded as a large ship.

In order to sail smoothly, we have integrated seven artifacts one after another.

There are also many magic arrays protecting us, so we can withstand any storm when sailing on the sea!"

The Queen of Forest Elf came out immediately to calm people down.

The separation from the mainland is now nearing completion, and the next step is the ocean voyage.

To reach the Savage Continent from here, they need to cross the Storm Sea. This harsh journey will be the biggest challenge the elves will face.

If the plan succeeds, the elves will become another family to jump out of the chessboard after the dragons.

With a continent all their own, they only need to recuperate for a few thousand years, and then the powerful elves will reappear.

"Sister, the current situation is beyond our expectations. The various tribes on the continent will soon find out that something is wrong. I'm afraid it's impossible for us to leave quietly.

Especially that damned Hudson, who is with the Mossi now. Maybe he is hiding somewhere, watching us secretly.

If we don't find a way to eliminate this threat, there will be endless trouble in the future.

If so many human sanctuaries come together to cause trouble, it might interfere with the operation of the magic circle and cause many accidents out of nowhere."

The night elf queen said worriedly.

The last time they made careful plans, they sacrificed three of the strongest members of the tribe, but they still failed to kill Hudson. This has become a scar on the elves.

Now that it has become a threat again, it would be foolish not to try to get rid of it.

"Let's execute the plan as planned. No matter who comes, we will kill them all!

Tell the strong men in the tribe to be careful, and don't rush to attack when they meet Hudson, but send a signal to call for reinforcements directly.

With his talent, after several decades, his strength must have improved a lot compared to before, and he might even have touched the legendary forbidden realm.

If you can surround and kill him, you will never fight him alone. Without more than a dozen Saint Domain masters joining forces, it is better to let go of the opportunity than to rashly fight him.

Everything should be based on the clan’s strategic plan. There is no need to rush to seek revenge on Hudson.

It’s not too late for the elves to take revenge in three thousand years!”

As she spoke, fear filled the face of the Forest Elf Queen.
