King

Chapter 12 Legendary Character—Chelsea Knight

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

In 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 didn't make any sense. People along the way ran away when they saw the army, and they didn't even have a chance to explain.

Occasionally I meet a few noble lords to communicate with, but they are just sending the plague god away. If it weren't for Earl Pierce's recruitment order, these guys might have directly sent troops to expel them.

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

The conscription order was not targeted 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.

Realizing this, Hudson slowed his march again. We would travel in the morning, set up camp in the afternoon, and get some game to improve our food.

Plump porcupines, muscular elk, jubilant hares, and vigorous pheasants... have all become regular 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, which obviously can't keep up with the reproduction speed of wild beasts. This is why there is now a grand situation where prey is everywhere.

The rules are for ordinary people and do not apply to nobles at all. Even the most miserable wandering knight can hunt freely. Even if the owner discovers it, he will be expelled at most.

Having just given 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 make his eyes brighter, Hudson also gained a lot of knowledge in the circles.

"But the Chelsea knight of the Harkerian family?"

Hudson asked.

There is no way. The rate of duplicate names among the nobles of 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 and come to visit someone rashly, it will be easy to make a joke.

"Yes, Master."

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

"Banquet" is also a major feature of the aristocratic group. Whether it's making connections, eating, drinking and having fun, or discussing things, it can all be done at a banquet.

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's just that it's not to exchange feelings, but to get him and his men to get out of here 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 in the heart, one wishes to kill the other party immediately, one still has to show aristocratic demeanor on the outside.

And once the face is openly revealed, it will basically reach the point where there will be no end, and it will be difficult to have any room for maneuver.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for a playboy to survive three episodes. If he offends too many people, he will eventually encounter the ironclad.

As a smart person, Hudson naturally does not offend others easily and is very generous every time.

As long as the master comes out to express his position, after purchasing the supplies, he will break camp and leave. If the master doesn't come out, 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 came to 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 the 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 another title - "the prodigal son".

Although he 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's laughter would be over. There are also many prodigal nobles, so it is also a good thing to have one less 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.

It stands to reason that with his strength and a little hard work, he can take the family business further. However, the Chelsea knight refused. Even if he had achieved military exploits, he chose to convert it into a monetary reward.

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

His strong strength and deviant experience have 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 encountering 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 is very common in aristocratic circles.

Especially for a family with five generations 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 there was a friendship, my father wouldn’t say anything about it.

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 guy who always likes to borrow money, and he always borrows money but never repays it.

For the sake of wallet, everyone chose to be gentle and cautious with this bold knight.
