King

In Beida City, with the arrival of the Rainbow Moon, even the tense atmosphere in the air was diluted a bit.

The originally deserted opera house became bustling with people again. Money, beauty and power are always the objects of pursuit by the world.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month later, thanks to the Opera House's deliberate publicity, the news of Rainbow Moon's arrival had already spread throughout the southeastern province. Almost all the interested nobles appeared in Beida City.

As usual, Isabel completed the formulaic performance amidst the madness of the fans. Isabel did not feel the slightest sense of accomplishment, but instead felt a sense of disgust.

At this moment, her desire for strength emerged again. Reason tells her that only by becoming a strong person can she be qualified to leave here.

"Didn't the target appear?"

A mysterious voice sounded, pulling Isabel back from her thoughts. He glanced at the shadow man who suddenly appeared and said angrily:

"No! I don't know if there's something wrong with that guy. He's been training in the territory all the time and doesn't understand the slightest bit of style.

Shadow Sha, please let me know in advance when you come over next time, in case someone discovers you..."

"Don't worry, I already observed it before coming here, and no one is watching.

Everyone in the diva group knows your habits, Isabel, and no one will come here to ask for trouble at this time.

Even if someone does come, I can exit quietly. Unless someone from the top comes, they won't be able to keep me.

Now your task is to get rid of the mountain lord as soon as possible and determine whether the Blood Moon Horn is in his hands, so that we can decide whether to take the next step. "

From the beginning to the end, there was no emotion in Yingsha's heart, as if the beauty in front of him did not exist.

"Blockhead!"

After complaining in a low voice, Isabel said slowly: "Don't worry, I have not spent these days in vain, all the information about this mountain lord is here.

The strange thing is that none of the nobles in the Southeast Province have heard of the Blood Moon Horn in the Mountain Territory. I attacked from the side and was denied by them.

After a little probing, they actually told me that the Blood Moon Horn fell into the hands of the Holy See after the last war. He also vaguely mentioned the murder of the king's envoy.

In order not to arouse their suspicion, I had no choice but to continue questioning. There are just two completely different answers, and there must be a problem behind them.

By the way, I would like to remind you, don’t think that just because you are powerful in stealth skills, you will be invincible.

Mountain Territory is not as simple as you say. Even the information I investigated is completely opposite to what you gave me.

Not to mention that I am not sure whether the Blood Moon Horn is in the Mountain Territory. Even if it is confirmed, I don't think you can bring it out among an army of hundreds of thousands. "

A kind reminder does not mean that Isabel is soft-hearted. It seems like they have joined a mysterious organization, but in fact the relationship between them is mainly about transactions.

Relying entirely on profit as the key link, we don't know much about the mysterious organization. From the limited information we have, we cannot directly infer who the "owner" behind the scenes is.

In this context, there is no sense of belonging. The main reason for reminding Ying Sha at this moment was that this guy would rush in and expose her by the way.

A singer is a singer after all. Once her hidden identity is revealed and trouble comes, Rainbow Moon will not stand up for a "younger" singer.

"An army of hundreds of thousands?"

“Isabelle, are you kidding me?

The mountain leaders don't even have a population of more than 100,000, so how can they get an army of more than 100,000?

Could it be that she is just like some of the idiot singers in your group, who have been praised so stupidly that they have lost their own judgment! "

Shadow Sha said excitedly.

It's not that he doesn't have enough mental cultivation. As an assassin, the most important basic skill is to have a calm mind.

This news is really too shocking. If the Dalton family had assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, I guess everyone might still believe it.

It is unknown whether there are ten thousand young people in a mere mountainous territory. How to become an army of hundreds of thousands?

"Your information is too late.

Just a mountain leader naturally doesn't have that many young people, but with the strength of other small nobles, it's hard to say.

However, they only secretly guessed the specific number of young men receiving military training. The Mountain Territory has not released data to the outside world, but the number of people is definitely indispensable.

Even if you don't take these serf soldiers to heart, in addition to serfs, there are also a large number of noble children who receive military training together.

The exact number is still uncertain. According to these nobles, there are hundreds of noble children receiving training in the mountain territory.

There were hundreds of extra knights, and behind them were an army of serfs ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Are you sure you can take the Blood Moon Horn away from them? "

After hearing Isabel's explanation, Yingsha's whole body went numb. What was originally a nightmare-level mission, this wave has directly risen to hell-level.

The Mountain Territory's military strength was originally strong, but within the Holy See, the heads of various departments almost quarreled over this task.

Perhaps everyone felt that robbery was unreliable. In the end, this hot potato unfortunately fell into the "sacred hands" of the intelligence organization, and they were prepared to use clever methods to "take it away".

In order for the mission to proceed smoothly, Pius VII even went to the ascetic camp and invited several strong ascetics to come and cooperate.

It's a pity that no matter how strong the ascetic monks are, facing a huge army, they can only run away.

What's more, if you are doing things on the enemy's territory, once your identity is exposed, you may be attacked by the local strong men of the Alpha Kingdom at any time.

There is only one chance to take action. Regardless of success or failure, you must run away immediately after taking action.

For the sake of safety, the Holy See did not hesitate to use the important secret agent Isabel. Trying to use a beauty trap to help achieve the goal.

Unfortunately, the result was doomed to disappoint them. Cabaret Hudson had seen too much in his previous life, and it didn't have much appeal at all.

Dropping what he was doing and traveling hundreds of miles just to watch a dispensable show, Hudson's mind was still spinning.

"Isabel, you know men best. Is there any way to get close to the mountain viscount, or find a way to lure him out?

What I mean is to get rid of that earth bear, find a chance to be alone with him, and wait for the opportunity..."

Before Shadow Killer could finish what he said, Isabel rolled her eyes: "Nothing can be as simple as you put it.

We made it so obvious in our propaganda that that guy is able to stay in the territory and train troops. He is obviously a person with strong willpower.

Combined with the past legendary stories of this Viscount of the Mountain Territory, not a single scandal has been reported, and it is possible that he has never experienced the joy of sex between men and women.

He doesn't want to come out of the territory, so he can't let me go to the mountains to lead him and seduce him. I can also teach him how to get started, right?

It is very simple for you to get close to this person. If you place a huge military purchase order, you may meet him.

However, the situation is a bit special now, and preparations are being made everywhere. Shandi Ling's orders are soft, and even if you place an order, they may not accept it.

I'd rather not bother and just send someone over to negotiate the price. The Blood Moon Horn has no real meaning to this person and is not an impossible item to transfer.

For such an ambitious man, as long as the offer is high enough, nothing is off the table. The prerequisite is: the Blood Moon Horn is really in his hands. "

After saying that, Isabel didn't forget to give her a wink. It's a pity that Yingsha's heart has long been as quiet as water, and he has no interest in the smiling beauty in front of him.

"I will report the information you collected truthfully! If the superiors agree, your reward will be indispensable.

Just a reminder, don’t play with fire. Beauty is a woman's most powerful weapon, but it is also the source of her disaster.

Not every noble is so abiding by the rules. The organization has solved a lot of troubles for you, otherwise the Rainbow Moon would not be able to protect you.

That's it for some ordinary nobles. If a big noble is really fascinated by it, it may be the beginning of disaster for you. "

After the warning, Shadow Killer disappeared directly into the room, leaving no trace, as if no one had ever been there.

Isabel, who stayed in the room, was secretly worried. Sometimes being too charming is a sin.

…

A group of aristocratic children flocked to the city to eat, drink and have fun, and naturally they were jealous. There were many conflicts and conflicts, and soon the Governor's Palace was alarmed.

"What's going on? If you don't train well at home, you go to Beida City to cause trouble. Are these nobles all in trouble?"

Earl Pierce asked angrily at the Sheriff.

This is a critical period, and all provinces are preparing for war. Anyone who stops is waiting for a beating from society!

He, the boss, was so anxious that his younger brother dared not take it seriously, which simply added fuel to the fire.

"The Rainbow Moon Diva Group has caused trouble. Ever since they arrived in Beida City, the city has not been peaceful.

Nobles from all over the country flocked in crazily, and most of the noble children fighting in the city were jealous. "

Guccione said depressedly.

As the city's peace officer, he has been having a hard time lately. A group of aristocratic children know how to cause trouble when they have nothing to do all day long, which greatly increases the pressure on public security in the city.

"waste!

Count the noble children who enter the city to eat, drink and have fun, and send the list to each county so that their families can come and pick them up.

By the way, I would like to remind them that once the war in Northern Xinjiang breaks out, these people must be included in the list of the first batch of officers and soldiers to participate in the war.

Absence for any reason will be punished as desertion. Even if he is dead, he can only be buried after the Governor's Mansion sends someone to verify his identity.

Let the governors of each county pay attention to it. If you don't know how to restrain your subordinates, learn from Viscount Hudson and gather the aristocratic children for training. "

Earl Pierce said almost roaring.

The more information you know, the greater the pressure you will endure. The increasingly tense situation on the mainland is very unfavorable to the Alpha Kingdom.

The energy of the major powers of the human race has been contained due to various reasons. This means that after the war breaks out, the support that the human race countries can provide is very limited.

At the critical moment, Earl Pierce didn't even bother to suppress his dissidents.

As a result, there was a group of aristocratic children who did not want to make progress and came to him to compete for supremacy and jealousy, just looking for excitement.

Facts have proved that the boss cannot be stimulated. Then a ruthless person came and directly included the thrill-seeking guy into the first batch of reinforcements.

If you get tired of living, you can continue to mess around. Anyway, your life is yours, you can do whatever you want with it.

…

In the mountainous region, Hudson, who did not know how to become a role model, was busy every day like a hard-working little bee.

A typical "007" work system, but I arranged it myself. I don't even know how to complain if I want to complain.

Having become a role model again, Hudson naturally didn't know it. After all, the time is too short. How can we train qualified officers in one month?

Most people have only learned a little bit about it and have not understood the essence of the matter at all. It's okay to serve as a grassroots military instructor, but if you want to command an army...

There is no need to discuss this issue. Hudson himself did not have the ability to command a large corps in combat. Not to mention the younger brothers who studied with him.

Except for a few famous generals with unique talents, most generals' military command abilities are slowly developed in the process of leading troops.

For example, now, organizing a large number of young and strong training is a major breakthrough in the ability to lead troops.

Although many problems arose during the period, they were eventually resolved.

Without this experience, Hudson would never have dreamed that he would one day be able to command so many soldiers.

"Master, the logistics supplies are almost at the bottom. In recent days, the training intensity has been too intense, and the consumption of supplies has exceeded the previous expectations. Do you think..."

Before Tom could finish his words, Hudson interrupted: "The application for logistics supplies was signed by these noble officers, right?"

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

Logistics is always the top priority in war, especially during expeditions, the test of logistics is even more severe.

Now it is just a simulation based on the Kingdom's logistics supply. The result was an "accident" without any surprise.

Fortunately, this was on-site training and it was just a material overrun. If they were on the march, more accidents would probably happen.

As an officer with a background in escorting logistics supplies, Hudson is well aware of the complexity of logistics. Just when he put down the Skull and Bones rebellion last time, the troubles he encountered during the transportation of logistics supplies gave him a lot of headaches.

"Signed! All procedures will be strictly implemented in accordance with the regulations you established."

Tom replied affirmatively.

There was a time when Hudson hated procedures the most. But after he took office, he had to set up a set of procedures for his subordinates to execute.

It's not that I'm worried about whether human nature can withstand the test, it's purely that the people under my command have limited abilities. Without a strict set of procedures for them to follow, things can turn into a mess within minutes.

"Flexibility" is based on the premise that bureaucrats have certain qualities and can make some flexible judgments independently.

It's a shame that Hudson clearly doesn't have that many high-quality talent at his disposal. Give them the authority to be flexible, and I'm afraid they will be completely different once they get down there.

"Give all the material consumption bills to these officers, and you won't have to worry about the rest.

Since there are not many logistics supplies left, then notify the troops and bring people back to the territory in advance to participate in the autumn harvest! "

Hudson said calmly.

Whoever's soldiers consume the supplies is responsible for paying the bill. Anyway, he wouldn't put a copper coin in it.

There is no venue fee for training, it is all for the sake of "favor". Of course, huge military purchase orders also played a certain role.

Make money, don't be shabby.

But the way to make money must be particular. Not every copper coin must be earned by oneself. When it’s time to talk about favors, you must talk about favors.

No one can afford to support so many soldiers during off-the-job training. The entire Alpha Kingdom's standing army only maintains around 300,000 people.

This is still due to the threat from the Orc Empire. Otherwise, the number of standing troops in the kingdom would only be around 100,000 at most.

The army is a gold-swallowing beast, and the high military investment of the Alpha Kingdom is all deducted from the expenses of the noble gentlemen's extravagant enjoyment.

The Alpha Kingdom is also one of the few countries in the Aslant continent that lists "war tax" as a regular tax.

Most other human nations levy a temporary fee when a war breaks out.

Faced with this gold-swallowing behemoth, the country is still struggling. Not to mention the little nobles, just training for more than two months made many people feel pain.

Participation in the autumn harvest is inevitable. Only by letting the serf soldiers work to support themselves can everyone continue to persevere.

Long-distance marches are also an opportunity to test the results of training. Although the journey this time is not long, it allows the noble officers to experience in advance the various troubles that may occur during the march.

He was so considerate for his younger brothers that Hudson himself was almost touched.

Looking at the team leaving camp, for some reason, Hudson felt a sense of reluctance in his heart.

In the past two months, although I have been very busy, I have lived a fulfilling life. It's like finding a goal in life and being able to devote 12% of your energy to fighting for it.

"When will it be good to have so many troops?"

As soon as this idea came up, Hudson himself was startled, and he hurriedly forced himself to give up this unrealistic idea.

It's just that it's easy to cut off ideas, but once ambition takes root, it's hard to get rid of.

…
