The King

  Chapter 33 The Fifth Army with Run Out of Luck

   Fallen Leaf Town

  After some fighting, it finally came to an end with the collapse of the rebel army. After recovering a large town, Cheers Knight was not happy at all.

   It was too clean, not to mention gold and silver treasures, even the granary was set on fire by the rebels.

  If they hadn't reacted quickly enough to **** a batch of unburned food from the fire in time, their work would be in vain.

  Obviously, the rebels had been prepared for a long time, knowing that Luoye could not hold it, so they transferred their supplies in advance.

   Glancing at the townspeople who were kneeling to greet him, Cheers was forced to put out his thoughts of robbery. There is no way, the group of people in front of them are old and young, and it is really hard to get rid of them.

  Of course, the most important thing is that this group of people in front of them is too poor, and there is really no way to squeeze out oil and water. Even if it is pulled out to sell slaves, it is a commodity that no one cares about.

   "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, the rebels are obviously well prepared, what should we do now?"

   Baron Mechel asked bitterly.

   After taking such a big risk to rob, they harvested a pile of food, making it seem like everyone was short of food.

   It's not a barren land in the northwest. As the lords and nobles of the southeast province of the "kingdom granary", who doesn't have a few warehouses to store grain?

   To put it bluntly, even if there is no harvest for two or three years, no one will suffer from famine.

  It’s fine at other times, but this time they took the risk and sneaked out to rob. Taking this pile of food on the road, there is still a lot of mobility.

   Frowning, Cheers said with a gloomy face: "There is so much food, I definitely can't take it away. For the sake of the Lord of Dawn, I simply do a good thing and leave it to them.

   It is only five days before the battle of Ethel Fortress. Even if the rebels are prepared, it is impossible to transfer all the supplies to the lair so quickly.

  Continue to the next stop, if there is no gain, then chase in the direction of Dadir City. Even if there is no harvest, they can go there in time to join the grain transportation team. "

   Without much hesitation, everyone agreed. Come here, you can't make a trip in vain. If you don't grab something and go back, everyone's thoughts will not be clear.

   After a brief rest, the Fifth Army was on the road again. It can be said to be "come in a hurry, and go in a hurry. With a wave of your sleeve, you will not take a piece of bread."

  Seeing the aristocrats and lords leaving, the uninhibited citizens suddenly regained their spirits and joined the grain grabbing team one after another.

  An old man who was very hungry grabbed a handful of roasted rye and stuffed it into his mouth, and immediately began to foam at the mouth.

  This is just the beginning, the people who ate these foods fell to the ground one after another.

   "There is poison in the food!"

  …

   Perhaps luck was running out. As soon as Hudson ordered to set up camp and bury pots for cooking, he saw Griffin cavalry hovering low above the camp.

  Intuition told Hudson that the Fifth Army's outing to rob is now gone.

   There is no way, even though he tried his best to help cover, he still showed his feet in the end.

  In order to buy enough time for the allies to rob, and for the safety of the food transport team, Hudson deliberately suppressed the marching speed.

   March every morning and set up camp at noon. Half of the time in the afternoon is for queue training, and half of the time is for ideological work. It is safe and full all day long, and there is no time for everyone to think about it.

  Hudson has calculated that according to the current speed of traveling 20 miles a day, it will only take six days to reach Dadil City, which just guarantees the supply of food and grass for the main force.

   It’s all hello, hello, hello everyone. Unexpectedly, Earl Pierce's head was convulsed, and he suddenly sent knights to urge the Fifth Army to speed up the march.

  The head of the legion is not there, so there is no need to say that Hudson can only receive him. Although he made up an excuse that he thought was perfect, he met a nobleman along the way who everyone knew was abnormal.

   If there is no accident, the Griffon cavalry in front of him is the result of the knight who went back to make a small report yesterday.

  With a height of less than ten meters, even the worst archer can shoot him with an arrow. After hesitating for a while, Hudson finally put out the idea of ​​killing people.

  It is too difficult to keep secrets in front of so many people. The rebels didn't have any Griffon cavalry, so no one would believe it if they said it was an accidental injury!

  For nobles, deception is just a basic operation. Even if things go wrong, it is the responsibility of the Fifth Army.

  The law does not blame the public, even if Earl Pierce wanted to enforce the military law, he couldn't proceed.

  Don’t look at the fact that several legion commanders had a very tense fight for their own interests. If Earl Pierce wanted to attack the nobles of the Fifth Army, they would immediately turn their guns around.

  In the world of nobility, there are only pros and cons, there is no right or wrong. The small and medium nobles are attached to the big nobles, and at the same time join forces to fight against the big nobles. This is not only a kind of political balance, but also the way for everyone to survive.

  This point also applies when looking up. The great nobles are attached to the kingdom, and at the same time join forces to fight against the king, which is also a kind of political balance of the kingdom.

  In Hudson's view, the kingdoms of the Aslant continent are like companies, and the nobles and kings inside are all shareholders.

  The difference is limited to the amount of equity, in essence, everyone is the owner of the company. For the sake of profit, it is necessary to argue, to argue.

  Major shareholders have more shares and have more power to speak, but the combined shares of small and medium shareholders far exceed those of major shareholders, which is enough to negate the resolutions of major shareholders.

  There is a certain gap in status between everyone, but in essence they still have the right to dialogue on an equal footing.

  Even the king cannot execute a nobleman for no reason. Even if a noble committed a felony, it must be confirmed by the noble council before they can be executed.

  Of course, these are the bright side. No one can guarantee what is going on behind the scenes.

  Theoretically speaking, violating military orders on the battlefield can be directly executed. In actual operation, you will find that it is not the same thing at all.

  As long as you don’t make mistakes of principle, and you don’t fail in life, a large group of relatives, friends and old friends will come forward to intercede.

  Especially these group violations of military orders, as long as they do not lead to disastrous consequences, they will eventually be reduced to minor events.

  Compared to violating military orders, the consequences of killing Earl Pierce's Griffin cavalry were more serious. The former is a public matter, but the latter involves personal grievances.

   Watching the Griffon Cavalry leave, Hudson has already begun to figure out the aftermath. It was obviously too late to notify the allies to come back, not to mention that he didn't know the specific goal of the robbery army.

   Sighing helplessly, Hudson finally decided to lie flat. Whatever he likes, there is nothing he can do now anyway.

  Even if Earl Pierce pursues the responsibility, it has little to do with him. At most, they will not report the knowledge, which is completely unworthy of mentioning compared with violating military orders.

  As for other people, they can only ask for their own blessings. We are all adults, and we should be prepared to be exposed from the moment we make the decision to rob.
