Chapter 295 Living toward Death
As invitations were sent out, Hudson became busy again. Building a trading platform requires a lot more preparation than expected.
Not only do you need to prepare a trading venue, but you also need enough merchants with enough strength, and even more so many sellers.
Merchants are easiest to deal with. As long as the benefits are large enough and safe, they will come over themselves.
The trouble is the "seller", all involved are nobles, and many relationships require Hudson to come forward to communicate and coordinate.
Fortunately, dealing with spoils is also a problem of urgent need for the coalition forces.
One after another, the caravans had accidents on the way, and fewer and fewer merchants were willing to come and take risks, resulting in a large amount of spoils in their hands.
In order for the army to maintain its action, many great nobles had to abandon some large spoils and only choose the most valuable ones to take away.
As soon as Hudson made a noise, some nobles who had gained too much booked the warehouse in advance, and even sent someone to deliver the things to them with a little impatient attitude.
Hudson had to order work overnight to build a temporary storage warehouse.
...
In the trial of the Knights' camp, Commander Blake is very worried now. After robbing dozens of orc tribes in a row, the Holy See also accumulated a large amount of spoils.
Originally, the Chamber of Commerce under the Holy See was arranged to be responsible for the handling, but Hudson suddenly made this happen, which made his own Chamber of Commerce afraid to come.
"What's going on? Why did you say it well? Why didn't you come suddenly?"
Blake asked angrily.
It is not a systematic one. Even if he has a high position and a powerful position, he will have no choice but to deal with those guys. After all, his life in the Holy See is not easy and he cannot continue to make enemies.
Anger is more like a kind of powerless venting. If the chamber of commerce is gone, the cashing of the spoils in your hands will become the biggest problem.
If he hadn't turned against Hudson, he could send someone to the trading center to find a buyer. At this time, if he came to the door, who would know if he would be cheated!
"Captain Blake, don't be so angry. We will discuss things slowly.
The Holy Chamber of Commerce refused to come, so it was a forced one. The front line was too dangerous. In the past month, two caravans had been stolen.
Especially now, after Earl Hudson builds a trading platform, the risk of going directly to the front line is even greater!”
Bishop Simon explained calmly.
The caravan of the Holy Chamber of Commerce was robbed, so Blake naturally knew it clearly. He sent someone to the scene to investigate, and in the end all the clues pointed to the orcs.
Since it was done by the enemy, the investigation will naturally end in vain. At most, it will kill a few more orcs on the battlefield and vent their anger for the Chamber of Commerce. They will bear the losses themselves.
"What are you going to worry about? Do they dare to rob our chamber of commerce?
Bishop Simon, please tell the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce that we will put magic marks on the goods.
Even if it is stolen, once the goods are out of the market, we can follow the clues to find the murderer and help them make up for all the losses!"
Blake said domineeringly.
As the top force in the mainland, he has the confidence to make a promise. Unfortunately, Blake faces his own people, and this promise will not play any role at all.
"Captain Blake, don't make things difficult for others. If someone dares to steal our things, do you think they will sell the stolen goods by normal means?
The Holy See's influence in the Kingdom of Alpha is extremely limited, and even if the stolen goods are found, it is difficult to keep track of them all the way.
If Count Hudson wants to build a trading platform, he will be able to help him. Anyway, we also need such a place.
The Holy Chamber of Commerce has received an invitation to settle in, and there is only some specific details that have not been agreed upon, so there is no need to continue to struggle."
Bishop Simon said with a smile.
Both the Holy See camp, the internal forces are in chaos. The failure of the Trial Knights and Hudson to deal with it does not mean that the Holy Chamber of Commerce also has a grudge against Hudson.
Although it belongs to the Holy Church, the Holy Chamber of Commerce is ultimately a commercial organization. The first thing that comes to mind when considering problems is interests.
Following the Trial Knights, not only did the dangers along the way, but they could only do business with this company.
If they settle in the trading platform, the sellers they face will be the entire human coalition.
In particular, the platform has a high enough threshold to eliminate a large number of potential competitors. With the strength of the Holy Chamber of Commerce, it is enough to get a piece of fat from it.
As for Blake's idea, he no longer considered the scope. It was nothing more than a trial of the Knights and would not harm the interests of the Holy See. Why should he not be able to get along with the money?
"You...you guys do this, you're not afraid..."
Before he could finish his hesitation, Blake swallowed it back.
After taking a look, he couldn't find a reason to change the decisions of the Holy Chamber of Commerce.
Although the gun is strong, his wallet is not a vegetarian. He started to make trouble for this, but he was the one who suffered the loss in the end.
...
"Your Highness, do you really want to lead the team in person? You must know that this trip is deeply behind enemy lines, and there are many dangers along the way!"
Clark tried hard to persuade.
Prince Butzweig has the commonality of Beamon - paranoia. Once the matter is determined, the nine cows cannot be brought back. As a think tank, Clark only feels tired.
At this moment, going deep behind enemy lines to carry out destruction can basically be said to be a mission of death without life. Any clues left will be strangled by the human race.
No matter how empty the Alpha King was, he still had the strength to strangle several orc teams. It was really not possible. At most, tens of thousands of troops were drawn back to work.
With the continuous arrival of reinforcements from the Human League, even if the front line is lengthened, the human race's advantages on the battlefield are still magnifying.
The five royal families would rather pay a big price to migrate their tribes than fight head-on with the human coalition forces, which is enough to illustrate many problems.
"Alex's authority is increasingly unrivalled, and those competitors are all tossed. Although I became low-key as soon as I came back, I was inevitably resentful by him.
Once he has to deal with those people, it will be my turn next.
Now Alex is the emperor of the Bemon clan. As long as you want to find fault, there are ways to torture me.
I simply took on a task and went out to avoid the limelight first. On the day of my return, I guess the imperial court was almost completely cleaned.
A prince who has lost his influence in the army is the best Prince Bemon. I still have this political awareness!”
Prince Butzweig said in a low tone.
If there is a third way, he will not choose to take risks. But there is no way. He had already asked himself to take charge of the tribe migration work, but unfortunately he was rejected by Alex.
If he continues to stay in the army, he is a hidden danger that threatens the imperial power. No matter who is in the position of Emperor Bemon, he must clear this hidden danger.
If it weren't for the war time that Alex's hands and feet were bound for the unity of the Bemon clan, otherwise the butcher's knife would have been slashed at him long ago.
Passively waiting for death is not his style. Compared to dying in an infighting, Butzweig would rather fall on the battlefield.
Alex would only become more and more afraid of him when he stayed at home and continued to lead troops. Instead, he would rather volunteer to go deep into the enemy's backbone and risk his life to take the opportunity.
As long as he can come back alive, he will land smoothly in this political storm.
A prince who gave everything for the Beamon clan, even for political propaganda, had to offer him high.
If the imperial court changes in the future, he will still have the opportunity to take advantage of the character he has created.
After all, Alex is already old. He is more than twice his age, and Butzweig can slowly endure him.
"Your Highness, since you have made up your mind to go south, I will not advise you.
If Your Highness is just to avoid disaster, the possibility of getting out of nothing can be 60 to 70%. If you want to make achievements, you may be... ten deaths are gone!"
Clark said, thorning his teeth.
As a strategist, he had to act with Prince Butzweig. If the boss fails, he will not be able to survive.
The current persuasion is not only to save Prince Butzweig, but also to save his life.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. The war has gone through, and the empire has lost. No matter how powerful we are in the rear of the enemy, we can't change all this.
As far as I know, the population loss of each of the five major royal families exceeded 20%, among which the proportion of young and strong is even higher.
After this major strategic shift, the strength of all ethnic groups will be further weakened. Although the rear is conducive to defense, the barren land will also restrict our development.
If the human race changes its strategy and supports several strong combat races, we will wait for civil war every day!”
Prince Butzweig couldn't help but complain.
These are the highest secrets of the Orc Empire. If he hadn't been too depressed and needed to find someone to talk to him, he wouldn't have said it.
"Your Highness, this kind of thing really happens. What the human race is best at is to sow discord, especially our neighbor is Caesar III.
Looking at what he has done since he ascended the throne, provoking trouble and playing with balance are all his common methods.”
Clark analyzed as calmly as possible.
Perhaps immersed in it, Prince Butzweig was not angry, but nodded instead and said, "You are right. As long as Caesar III is still alive, we will face these situations.
Even the specific executor, I can guess. Caesar III appointed the young Hudson as the head coach of the army, which was clearly preparing to destroy the empire.
Just counting the age, you will know that Hudson's age can be entangled with the empire for at least decades.
The scheming king + the young and enterprising commander, we will never have peace in the years to come!”
Since the defeat of Dapest, Prince Buzweig has been passively turned into Habiao. Perhaps he has praised it too many times, and now he has believed it himself.
After he had thought about the fact that something that was unrelated to the situation was pulled together.
"Your Highness, do you want to assassinate Caesar III?"
To be continued...
