The King

Chapter 439: Scourge

  Visit the wounded, list the battle damage, sort out the battle report...

  The battle is over, and Hudson is even busier.

  I had to write materials before traveling, but I didn’t expect to write after traveling. The difference is that in the past, you had to write it yourself, modify it, and get sprayed, but now you only need to sign it.

   Records not only need to be displayed on the battlefield, but must also be publicized.

  It’s impossible not to be high-profile. After losing so many elites, there is no achievement, and the country can’t explain it.

  After last night's battle, another stubborn illness in the army was placed in front of Hudson.

  There has always been an unspoken rule in the Royal Army. The appointment of officers must follow the principle of "Born > Strength > Ability".

  Want to break the rules of the game, unless when it comes to life and death, there is no better choice.

  Hudson was able to take the top position at the beginning, it was because he was not only capable of fighting, but also the strongest in the kingdom, and the officers and soldiers below believed him.

  Faced with the mess that no one can clean up, everyone can only push him to the top.

  The current situation is obviously not up to that point. If you want to make personnel adjustments, Hudson must also abide by the rules.

  During the battle last night, the Warcraft Legion suffered heavy losses, a large part of which was due to poor internal coordination.

  The appointment of Jose as the temporary commander aroused the dissatisfaction of the nobles in the army, and the execution of the order was compromised.

   Fortunately, it is a temporary appointment. If it is a permanent position, I am afraid that the people below will be able to make trouble.

  In the final analysis, the expeditionary force is just a pieced together elite, and Hudson can only control the army with his own prestige.

  The mid-level and high-level officers in the army are all well-known, and their status is not as low as that of Hudson.

  Reform is impossible, the final decisive battle is imminent, and the most important thing now is stability.

  Anyway, this unspoken rule is not only popular in the expeditionary army, but also played in the entire Aslant continent.

  Everyone has shortcomings, so they can't be counted as shortcomings.

  At least the kingdom's army is not so solidified. Hudson can also choose a powerful superior from among nobles with comparable status, or appoint a noble with a stronger background and a slightly inferior background.

  The main reason is that the ability is too illusory, it is difficult to convince everyone, unlike the strength that can be displayed on the bright side, if you are not convinced, just go out and fight.

  Generally speaking, if you are born noble + powerful, you will be a proper general in the army and a reserve coach.

   If you know how to be a man, it is normal to be directly appointed as the coach.

   It sounds a little childish, but compared to the year when Crown Prince Caesar debuted as the coach, this is already very cautious.

  The situation of the expeditionary force is actually not bad. Everyone knows the risks of this trip, and they don't have any ability, and they won't send them to the army.

"well!"

   After sighing, Hudson reluctantly crossed Jose off the list.

   Among the four major legions of the Expeditionary Army, the Warcraft Legion has the least strength, but because of its strong combat effectiveness, its status is the highest, and it is known as the Kingdom's First Legion.

   In order to compete for this position, the great nobles were about to squeeze their heads. In the end, it was Hudson who announced that he was acting as an agent, which calmed down the storm.

   This agent has arrived now. He originally wanted to support Jose to take over the position, but now he finds that there is too much resistance, so he can only cancel the plan.

  Appointing a commoner as the head of the legion, unless he is a strong person at the sanctuary level, he will not be able to convince the crowd at all.

  Of course, if it is really a strong man in the sanctuary, he will not be a commoner. No matter which country you are in, you can get a good title.

   "Sorry, Mr. Jose!"

   Hudson said pretending to be helpless.

   What is crossed out now is not only Jose's position as legion commander, but also his career in the kingdom.

  No one is willing to share an extra piece of cake, and be exposed to the nobles in advance, and the result is that they will not even have the opportunity to enter.

   If there is no accident, Jose's previous scapegoat will be magnified and publicized again.

   Even if you have made military achievements, don't even think about stepping into the circle of nobles.

   "Marshal, this is none of your business. Even if everyone agrees, it's useless. Your Majesty doesn't want to see me active in front of your eyes!"

   Jose said bitterly.

  The last trace of luck in my heart was shattered.

  After experiencing glory, it is too difficult to start from scratch.

  In fact, if Jose's target is not the legion commander, but the centurion below, everyone will not mind selling Hudson.

   But after all, it is a person who has commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, even if he is only the deputy commander, his expectations have been magnified.

  This workplace is similar. No matter how destitute a person who has served as a vice president of a top listed company, it is impossible to start from the bottom of the company.

   There was no reminder, because Hudson knew that people are lucky, and he would not be reconciled if he didn't try it.

   Simply give a chance to stop Jose's thoughts, so that he can stay and work with peace of mind.

   "Mr. Jose, don't think about it too much. His Majesty the King also has his difficulties, mainly due to the persistent diseases in the Royal Army that hurt people.

  These disadvantages will change sooner or later. After the Continental War is over, I will propose restructuring to the Kingdom again to clean up these persistent problems. "

   Hudson said kindly.

  As a "loyal minister", he will never speak ill of his king in front of his subordinates. This is a matter of principle.

   As for clearing up the stubborn diseases in the army, just listen to it.

  Now is a time of war, and it seems that it is not suitable for reform, but it is the time when the kingdom is most motivated to carry out military system reform, and it is also the time when vested interest groups are most likely to make concessions.

  When the Continental War is over, the crisis will no longer exist, so why reform?

   It's one thing to change or not, but it's another thing to mention it or not.

   As the marshal of the kingdom, Hudson is obliged to make the kingdom's army stronger.

   Didn't do it, it was hindered by vested interest groups, not his marshal dereliction of duty.

  Bearing the label of a reformist and eager to change the status quo, the group will automatically move closer to him.

  Originally, Hudson hated forming cliques the most, but the reality told him that if he wanted to get along well, he had to form cliques.

  Especially when your status reaches a certain level, you represent not only yourself, but also a group.

  The end of the lonely family is usually not very good. Most of the elegiac songs of unfortunate heroes did not think clearly about this point.

  …

  The atmosphere in the coalition army camp of the ancient survivors is extremely tense at the moment.

  The camp was destroyed, and not only food and grass were lost, but camp tents, consumable ordnance, and various supplies were all destroyed in the raging fire.

  The days of hunger and cold are the most difficult. In order not to starve, some races extended their tentacles to the corpses of their comrades.

   Paper can’t contain the flames, everyone is starving and freezing, it’s hard not to expose your **** meat over there.

  Finding out that people from their own tribe were roasted by their allies, who can bear it?

  Especially some hostile races with bad relationship with each other directly fought in the camp, and when the kings of various races intervened, a pile of corpses were added to the ground.

   People were killed, and things became more and more complicated. It doesn't matter whether it's reasonable or not, the kings of this clan are always the ones who help their relatives but don't help them.

  Originally, there was a king trying to persuade him to fight, but he just persuaded him, and his own tribe was also involved.

  If it weren't for the threat of the expeditionary force, there might be a civil war in the alliance.

   Meeting such a teammate, Doris only felt tired. Due to the needs of the situation, she had to mediate.

   "It's less than 200 miles away from the camp, everyone speeds up the march, we can arrive in three or four days, and it will pass after a little patience.

   But what have you guys done?

  For a bite to eat, actually doing something to the corpse of a comrade-in-arms, it's like a beast!

  All participants will be included in death camps. Next, they will perform the most dangerous mission and use blood to atone for their actions!

  From now on, all corpses must be burned, and similar things will be killed without mercy!

  Don't take it seriously, if you can't handle it now, I don't mind helping you make up your mind. "

  Doris sternly warned.

  Facing the alliance of ancient survivors with many internal conflicts, it is impossible to satisfy all parties, so simply stand in support of one side.

  The arrogance of the elves made her choose the side that was closer to her own ideals. The barbaric behavior of using the corpses of comrades-in-arms as food must be severely cracked down.

  Now is just the beginning, and only a few races are participating. If this trend is not curbed immediately, maybe someday the elves will also be on the grill.

  If that scene really happened, Doris can guarantee that she will definitely go crazy.

   "Your Majesty is right. Some barbaric races must be severely punished!"

  The Shadow King was the first to agree.

  If you want to unify the alliance of the ancient survivors, you must first establish a civilization system. According to the current barbaric gameplay, even if unity is achieved, it is only a nominal unity.

  With the strength of the Shadow Clan, no matter how hard they try, they can't do this. In order to complete the plan, the support of the elves must be obtained.

   As for offending people, there is no need to worry about it. The race involved was placed in a death camp.

  With the powerful combat power shown by the enemy, even normal missions are dangerous, let alone the most dangerous missions.

  Seeing that someone took the lead, except for the few unlucky kings involved in the case, the rest of the kings expressed their support one after another, lest they be missed by Dai Lisi.

  …

  The storm subsided, but the problem was not resolved. Under normal circumstances, it is only a three or four day journey, and even if there is a shortage of food, they can persist, but the current situation is not normal.

  The expeditionary force is too close to them, and they can encounter the opponent's rangers on daily patrols. The current peace is that the opponent is tired from fighting, and the enemy will still come back to make trouble for them after the rest.

  Under this background, the marching speed will inevitably be greatly affected. What's more, there are still a lot of wounded in the army. Doris may not care about the wounded of her allies, but the wounded of the elves must be considered.

  Under this background, the speed of the army is likely to be lower than normal. Originally, the journey of three or four days of rapid marching may not be able to be completed in five or six days now.

   Omnivorous races are okay, without food, they can deal with it for a few days with leaves, bark, and grass roots.

  The other races are embarrassed. Now they still have the strength to fight. After starving for a few days, they will all become soft-legged shrimps.

   When the enemy launched a general attack, but his own soldiers were too hungry and weak to lift their guns, it would be embarrassing.

   "My lord, how to solve the problem of food?"

  The three-headed monster asked pretending not to know.

   Those who were dealt with the most just now were all his clansmen. As a race that is used to eating the same kind, it really can't understand Doris's approach.

   After glaring fiercely, Doris said angrily: "If there is no food, then go out and look for it!

  You attack so fast, I don't believe that human beings have destroyed all the supplies. Look carefully, there will always be missing supplies.

  Don’t forget that there are resistance armed forces. If they can persevere, they will definitely have a lot of food and supplies in their hands.

  All the solutions are given to you, you can figure out the rest yourself! Take advantage of the fact that the enemy is resting at this moment, hurry up, otherwise there will be no chance if it is too late. "

   After speaking, Doris turned and left. Her intuition told her that she couldn't stay any longer, otherwise more troubles would come to her.

   She doesn't know if the coalition's food shortage can be solved, but the elves have food anyway.

   During the battle last night, many horses died. These are the trophies of the elf army. It is definitely not enough to supply the entire army, but they can still last for a few days if they are only provided to the elf army.

  …

  Among the clouds, a man and a dragon were looking down at the camp below, as if they were looking for something. Especially Maxim's performance was the most exaggerated, almost drooling.

   "According to intelligence, this is the resident of the Ancient Remains Alliance in the province of Deklas. There are also deep wheel marks nearby. If there is treasure hidden, this is definitely the most likely place.

  Look carefully, the number of soldiers patrolling the northwest camp is obviously more than other places.

   We have been staring at it for so long, but no one has come in or out. On the contrary, it is the warehouse in the other direction, and people come in and out from time to time.

   If you want to do something, it is best to create chaos in the camp and transfer these defenders. Or choose the right opportunity to sneak in and get back our treasure! "

  Hudson fixed the **** on the unseen treasure without changing his face.

  The enemy snatched everything from the local nobles. The nobles in the world belonged to one family, and the treasures of the nobles of the Warhammer Kingdom were equivalent to his treasures.

   Now it's not about grabbing, but coming here to get back what belongs to me. Perseveringly, the enemy refused to cooperate, so he could only resort to brutal measures.

   "Hudson, the enemy has a lot of defenders. If there is a frontal fight, I'm afraid that idiot Maxim will ignore you, so let's do it at night!

   It's a pity that those ghosts are not there, otherwise they will be released in the dark and kept for safekeeping, causing the enemy to fall into chaos. "

  The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. If Bear Stearns hadn't reminded him, Hudson would have almost forgotten that he was still a necromancer.

   When it comes to sabotage in secret, necromancers are the most professional. Anyway, if you do it in this place, you are not afraid of being exposed.

   A necromancer who has been in seclusion for many years, just came out and found that his homeland was occupied by aliens. It is completely reasonable to take revenge in anger.

   "Go back to the barracks first, and we'll come back at night."

  …

   At midnight, the camp of the Allied Forces of the Ancient Remnants in Deklas Province was brightly lit. Not only did the number of patrolling soldiers not decrease, but it became more as night fell.

   "You summon the undead army outside to attack the enemy's barracks. No matter whether it succeeds or not, evacuate immediately after casting the magic. The follow-up arson will be carried out by Maxim."

   Hudson ordered to the accompanying necromancers.

  Originally, he was going to do it alone, but later, considering that the necromancers accompanying the army had been idle all the time and had no chance to play, he simply brought them along.

  The reasons are all ready-made, looking for an opportunity to burn the grain and grass stored by the enemy in Deklas Province. Once this plan is completed, the enemy will have to explode on the spot.

  Once the food and grass here are destroyed, the enemy strongholds within hundreds of miles together will not be able to produce food and grass that can supply the enemy army.

  In fact, Hudson also thought about leading troops to attack this place, but was forced to give up in the end. There is no other reason, it is purely limited terrain, which is not conducive to the performance of cavalry.

  The enemy has stationed heavy troops here, and if there is no large army coming, Maxim alone will burn some food and grass at most.

   "Don't worry, Hudson. We old bones will definitely be able to handle this trivial matter.

   Not to mention, after so many years of learning Necromancer Sky, few of us have never used it, so we have to have fun today, we can’t embarrass the Necromancer! "

  After the old man finished speaking, all the necromancers echoed.

  As officially trained necromancers, they are different from wild necromancers, and their behavior is greatly restricted.

   Those who can learn undead magic have a restless heart after all. In order not to fall into the situation where everyone shouted and beat them, they could only forcibly suppress the idea of ​​doing something.

  The last orc invasion was an opportunity for everyone to show off, but it was a pity that it was snatched away by the "elderly group" who appeared.

   "Don't worry, you can make trouble here. No matter what monsters are released, it has nothing to do with us, as long as it doesn't bite us back.

  Okay, let's get started, I'm going to work too! "

   Hudson said blankly.

   Deep down, he was already happy. With more of these guys taking the blame, the possibility of him being exposed is even lower.

   Although his magic level is not as high as these guys, the magic power is abundant!

  Anyway, it’s all about destruction. As long as the undead creatures are summoned, other things have nothing to do with Hudson.

  As long as you don't control undead creatures to fight, you won't consume much mental power. Maybe the number of undead creatures he can summon may be more than that summoned by the sanctuary necromancer.

   Of course, this is limited to quantity, and the two sides are simply incomparable in terms of quality. They summoned a high-level undead creature, and by virtue of their aura, they could suppress the army of low-level undead without wisdom.

  Under the cover of the night, black clouds slowly gathered in the sky, and the huge fluctuation of magic power quickly attracted the attention of the enemy magicians.

  Preparing to interfere, there are undead creatures constantly appearing in the camp, such as skeletons, nightmares, dead knights, headless horsemen...

   From low-level undead to mid-level undead, Hudson is not picky at all, he will summon whatever undead creature is linked to.

  Relying on the desire for flesh and blood in their bones, even without Hudson's command, the undead creatures also attacked the nearby soldiers.

  To be precise, the battle was initiated by the defenders. All ethnic groups in the mainland have the same stance on dealing with undead creatures, that is - kill.

   Seeing the undead appearing in the barracks, everyone will naturally not be polite. The **** aura produced by the soldiers' deaths and injuries in the battle directly stimulated a group of undead creatures, pushing the battle to a climax.

   Killing, besides killing, is still killing. A group of undead creatures fighting by instinct caused an uproar in the camp.

  The battle quickly attracted the attention of the enemy magicians, and a group of magicians who thought they had found their target immediately launched an attack on the place where the magic power fluctuated.

   Hudson, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not stay where he was and was beaten. He was taken by Maxim to change places, and continued to carry out the great cause of summoning.

   After changing places five times in a row, the dark sky also enveloped the camp, covering a quarter of the camp in an instant.

   "Oops, this is the cursed undead sky, we fell for it!"

  It was only now that I realized this, it was too late. Countless undead creatures soon sprang up under the sky, launching a fierce attack on the nearby defenders.

   What's worse, once soldiers die in battle, they will either be devoured by nearby undead or transformed into new undead creatures.

   Without the slightest hesitation, a group of strong men in the defenders launched an attack on the undead sky.

  Everyone knows very well that if this thing is not broken, undead creatures will continue to emerge.

   Seeing that the time was right, one man, one dragon and one bear split into two groups. Bear Stearns was in charge of sneaking into the tent to loot property, while Hudson and Maxim continued to create chaos.

  In order to convince the enemy that this was for their grain and grass, Hudson also deliberately burned down a row of grain warehouses.

   Seeing Hudson tirelessly summoning the undead, Maxim asked with a trembling voice: "Hudson, is your magic power endless?"

  The magic power of a sixth-level great wizard is actually more powerful than that of the sanctuary dragon. Maxim only feels that the world is crazy.
