Chapter 98, The Unexpected Person (seeking a monthly pass)(2/2)
"Let him think about it slowly. This kind of thing can only be understood by oneself slowly. If we help him now, we are harming him."
Hudson said helplessly.
There are some teammates that I really can’t lead.
He clearly told him what he should do now if he wanted to obtain the fiefdom. It was a pity that Evola really ran away to worry about the orc invasion.
Although it is a good thing to be responsible, the most correct choice is to do whatever you want with your identity.
The invasion of orcs is obviously what the big guys should be concerned about. As little guys following the times, it is the right thing to do to improve your own strength.
"Enough of you two! You are so weird that you make me look like a fool. Orcs are about to invade, so be prepared in advance.
How big a deal is this?
You lords and lord heirs will definitely go to the battlefield when the time comes. As an idle knight, whether you want to participate in the war or not depends on my mood.
If you think I'm in the way and don't want to take me with you, just say so and I won't cause any trouble for you.
At worst, I can go abroad for a short trip and come back after the war is over. Will it make you worry like this?"
It was such a powerful explanation that Hudson was speechless. Suddenly he realized that Evola was not useless. At least he knew when danger was coming and avoided it first.
As long as people are alive, there is hope. Competition in the Alpha Kingdom is so fierce now. The biggest problem is that there are too many noble children.
If there is a big war and all the nobles in the country are dead, the opportunity will come.
Maybe you can take over the title from an unlucky relative without going to the battlefield.
Judging from the Koslow family's large relative network, someone will definitely be wiped out every time there is a war. From a probability perspective, it seems that the absolute possibility of inheritance is higher than the probability of winning a territory from the battlefield.
"No, Evola, I have to apologize to you!
It turns out you're not really stupid, you just don't like to use your brain.
In fact, this plan is not bad. It’s a cunning rabbit with three caves. It’s better to prepare a backup plan than to be taken over by someone.”
Hudson said cautiously.
Deep down in his heart, he really supported Evola to go out and hide. After all, the battlefield in northern Xinjiang was really dangerous.
When all the wars broke out, the Alpha Kingdom's nobles did not wait for it to end without reducing their number by one-third. Especially in the last war, the number of nobles in the country dropped by 70%.
Nelson does not need to be persuaded. A person with great ambition will not give up easily before experiencing setbacks.
This is a common problem for almost all "talented people". Even Hudson himself is no exception, and now he also wants to start a career.
…
In Qiaomu County, Viscount Oran's expression suddenly became serious since he read the letter in his hand.
"Is the news accurate? The missing Skeleton Lord has really appeared again?"
It's not that he hasn't seen the market before, but he has personally experienced the lethality of the Skull and Bones Society, so he can't help but worry.
The last wave of Skull and Bones rebellion directly destroyed two counties. Although this was due to Earl Pierce's laissez-faire, it was mostly due to the strength of the Skull and Bones Society.
Now I suddenly heard that the culprit who caused the Skull and Bones rebellion suddenly appeared in my sphere of influence. I couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Viscount, this information was obtained by Knight Florian at the cost of his life. All the fifty-seven soldiers accompanying him also fell to the enemy.
If Baron Pedro, Knight Torrance, and Knight Rudenev, who had returned from the mountain trade, hadn't happened to pass by with a large group of people, I'm afraid I wouldn't have even received this news.
It was also confirmed from their mouths that the person who took action was wearing a mask and was very powerful, very similar to the legendary Skeleton Lord.
It's a pity that the enemy was too cunning and left immediately when he saw the large group of people without any hesitation."
The middle-aged knight hurriedly explained.
Being able to kill fifty-seven soldiers and one knight, there are not many such masters in the entire southeastern province.
Apart from the noble camp, there are only a few high-level members of the cult organization left, and the Skeleton Lord is undoubtedly one of them.
Whether it is a vendetta or a cult organization is no longer important. As long as the suspicion points to the Skeleton Lord, it must be treated with caution.
"Immediately send someone to report the information we have to the Governor's Mansion and tell the Governor that the Skeleton Society is making a comeback.
Order the nobles in the county to be more vigilant to prevent the Skull and Bones Society from causing chaos. Especially those knight leaders who are not strong enough, it is best for neighboring families to gather together and not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them."
Viscount Oran immediately gave the order.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, he must treat it as true.
I originally thought about organizing a patrol to capture the Skeleton Lord, but I gave up after thinking about it in the end.
The leader of the cult is not easy to mess with. It would be best if you can drive them out. Even if you can't drive them away, wait until the Governor's Office sends someone over.
If you act rashly and make someone anxious, you might pull him down to support you.
There are too many such negative examples, and the cautious Viscount Oran does not want to take risks.
After a pause, he ordered again: "Now that the autumn plowing has ended, organize the young men among the serfs for me to train.
Send someone to place an order with the Mountain Baron. I want to purchase two thousand spears, five hundred broadswords, two hundred war hammers, and two hundred battle axes..."
Originally, Viscount Oran looked down on the junk produced by Hudson, but after being stimulated by the appearance of the Skeleton Lord, he suddenly found that his armaments were insufficient.
