Chapter 481 Imagine the Future
Southeast Province, Governor's Mansion.
Ever since he learned that the Koslow family's strategic focus has shifted eastward, Governor Pierce has relaxed completely, and he eats and sleeps deliciously.
The fights between the two families that used to happen secretly every now and then have stopped recently. When encountering problems, everyone discusses and solves them.
For a time, the security in the southeastern province was unprecedentedly good. The bandits and bandits that were rampant in the past suddenly disappeared.
"Hudson, what have you been busy with lately?"
Governor Pierce asked as usual.
Paying attention to Hudson's every move has become a part of his life. It is obvious that a habit that has lasted for several years cannot be changed in a short while.
"Sir, Marshal Hudson has been very busy recently. Except for attending an assessment at the Soldier Academy, he spent the rest of the time at home with his wife and children.
Perhaps because the Duchess was pregnant again, Marshal Hudson declined all banquets and no longer held banquets at home. "
The words of the old butler Gadry made Governor Pierce's eyes show deep jealousy.
It’s not that I envy the Hudson family business. When it comes to family business, the ancient Dalton family is a few steps ahead of the upstart Koslow family.
The key is that Hudson can give birth. She had her second child just a few years after getting married. She obviously inherited the Koslow family's fertility talent.
To measure the strength of a family, heirs are also an important indicator.
A family with a single lineage, no matter how powerful it is, lacks a safety factor.
If something unexpected happened, I would make a wedding dress for an outsider.
The greater the number of heirs, the more stable the family foundation is. Even if an accident happens to the large one, the small one can still be on top.
It's just that this kind of thing is something you can't envy. With the current medical technology, the number of offspring depends entirely on luck.
It is not uncommon in history for great figures to die.
After a slight hesitation, Governor Pierce asked: "Have you figured out the situation at the Soldier Academy? Can we follow suit?"
It is right to learn from your neighbors in the military. This is the life experience he has summed up in the past few years.
Not only the Dalton family is copying homework, but the entire Alpha Kingdom's nobles are learning from Hudson.
I don’t know if he learned the essence. Anyway, he just followed how Hudson trained.
Judging from the feedback from the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, the combat effectiveness of each private army has improved significantly.
Since it works, keep copying it. Everyone is copying anyway, and no one will laugh at anyone.
"Sir, we have basically figured out the situation of the Mountain Leader Soldier Academy. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to follow suit!
The courses for the students are very simple. In addition to the daily basic knight training, there are only a few cultural classes.
Perhaps it’s because the students’ foundation is so poor that they haven’t learned the entire Kingdom’s writing yet.
Students who perform well are simply rewarded with a copy of Life Essence.
We can all copy these, the trouble is the subsequent effects.
It is easy to train a large number of low-level knights. The key is how to place these people later.
If the Koslow family wants to expand into the Near East, they need to build a large army. After these students graduate, they can directly enlist in the army. "
Gadri said helplessly.
The more talents, the better. Cultivating them is just the beginning, and they must be able to support these people.
The Koslow family has a shallow foundation and does not have that much talent reserve. In addition, the numerous jobs created by developing the Near East are the reasons why Hudson dares to recruit students aggressively.
Without new incremental positions, cultivating low-level knights is a game of stock.
When other great nobles copy this model, the first thing they have to face is the opposition of internal vested interests.
Unless they follow suit and come up with a similar Xueyue collar development plan, there will be countless new positions allocated to these newcomers.
"Didn't we also obtain a fiefdom of one and a half counties in the Near East? Can't we place hundreds of knights there?"
Governor Pierce asked doubtfully.
His intuition told him that there must be other deep meanings behind the Soldier Academy created by Hudson.
As an established family, the Dalton family cannot be like the Koslow family and gamble on the future of the Near East.
If you can't put all your efforts into it, it would be nice to build a smaller version of the Soldiers Academy. In case there are other benefits, it can be rapidly expanded on this basis in the future.
"Master, it's not that you can't imitate it, it's mainly that it's not necessary at all!
There are so many nobles attached to us. As long as we take out a batch of life liquid, we can immediately train hundreds of knights.
In the past, the territorial legions suffered heavy losses, and we always supplemented them like this.
Marshal Hudson dared to train so many knights at once because the Xueyue Territory was in a special situation and would definitely become the main battlefield between the kingdom and the orcs in the future.
No matter how many knights are sent to the meat grinding mill of Xueyue collar, there is not enough to consume. "
Butler Gadley replied with a smile.
It is easy to train low-level knights, but the difficult thing is how to support them later. As long as you step into this circle, people will go to the nobles.
In the early stage, there may be a sense of gratitude for cultivating them, but after a long period of hard work, these people find that they cannot give what they want at all, and the situation will change.
People are in despair, but they can do anything.
The core members of many cult organizations on the mainland are mostly composed of aristocratic children who have experienced from hope to despair.
If you can't get what you want under the existing order, then break the existing order.
In order to stabilize the ruling group, those with vested interests have a tacit understanding to limit the number of extraordinary beings.
"Knowing that Xue Yue understood that there was a river of blood, there were still so many people rushing up. It seems that everyone's confidence in Hudson is not that strong!
However, Crescent Harbor was completed and supplies could be obtained from the sea. With Hudson's commanding ability and the presence of 200,000 elite troops from the Kingdom stationed there, it was really possible that this game of chess could be played alive.
Perhaps the family should reconsider its stance on the Near East!
Is the future of the kingdom really in the east? "
Governor Pierce's sentiments resonated with the old butler. Old guys like them are increasingly unable to understand the current situation.
Under normal circumstances, everyone should avoid the Near East. When the fiefdoms were divided before, everyone took the decision out of consideration for the overall situation.
Originally, they just wanted to invest some of their power and use the Near East as a buffer to increase the kingdom's strategic room for maneuver. However, the situation quickly got out of control.
With the strong entry of Hudson, the topic of Near East strategy continues to be hotly debated in the kingdom.
The passionate young nobles were the first to join the game. Especially those who have obtained fiefdoms are mobilizing their personal connections and working hard to prepare for the development of the Near East.
The orders from the family shipyard have been scheduled for two years from now. Everyone is like crazy, constantly preparing for the development of the Near East.
It was Hudson who started the wave.
Everyone's concept is very simple: as long as the Xueyue Territory can defend it, then their own territory behind them will be safe.
There is no such thing as attacking in a detour or driving straight in.
With the territory of Hudson, the kingdom's God of War, in front of him, which orc general would dare to take the risk and go deep into it alone?
"Master, we don't need to worry about this kind of thing. If the Near East strategy is successful, then the next hunting ground will be the entire orc prairie.
Such a big cake cannot be eaten by one or two noble families, and the latter can also be the first to arrive.
Let these fanatical nobles explore the way first, and when the situation becomes clear, it won’t be too late for us to join in with our family’s strength! "
Butler Gadri’s view is also the position currently held by many great nobles.
We have contributed to the Near East strategy, but we have not done our best. With a big family and a big business, they have enough room for error, so there is no need to gamble with the entire family.
…
A similar scene happened in many big families. I don’t know since when, the Mountain Territory has become the vane of the kingdom’s nobles.
As Hudson walks to the front desk, no matter how low-key he is, his every move will still be interpreted by all parties from different perspectives.
There are those who support, those who follow suit, and those who criticize. All kinds of external disturbances have not affected the normal operation of the Soldier Academy.
The students who got the life essence had no time to pay attention to the envy of their classmates. After adjusting their own condition, they started the retreat mode one after another.
Success and failure are constantly happening on campus every day, frightening the students who are watching the excitement.
It turns out that getting the original liquid of life is the first step towards success. If you cannot awaken the life seed, you will still be knocked down from the mortal world.
For a time, the students of the Magic Academy became the envy of everyone.
Although the probability of becoming a mage master is lower, you can still get a good job as a magic apprentice!
If you become a laborer, you are also a laborer for the lord. This is a height that countless ordinary people are fighting for and struggling to reach.
Jamie, I've been very annoyed lately. More than two thousand students were eliminated at one time, and one of his roommates was unlucky and was kicked out of the academy.
He still clearly remembers how helpless he felt when his roommate left. It's a pity that the rules of the college are strict, and those with the lowest grades must leave.
"Dix, do you think we can persevere to the end, obtain the life essence, and become a noble knight?"
Jamie couldn't hold it in anymore and confided in his friends for the first time.
"have no idea!
Our ranking is only at the middle level. Maybe the people behind us will catch up and overtake us.
I have found out that those with the highest grades are all children of noble families. They have eaten well since childhood and are stronger than us. Everyone has received knight training for a long time, and they are simply not comparable to us.
Some of those students who have obtained the life essence have become knight masters. I heard that they will soon be entering second grade and will no longer be in class with us.
If only we had superior qualifications, we would definitely be able to catch up and surpass these guys! "
Deeks said angrily.
The college has sealed the students’ information and the qualification test results are completely confidential. Regardless of whether they have upper-level qualifications or lower-level qualifications, they now enjoy the same treatment.
However, there are many things that do not need to be explained explicitly and can be seen through daily training. Students with good talents will obviously progress faster in their cultivation.
However, now that we are in the basic training stage, the advantages of qualifications are not very obvious. As long as students with lower qualifications work hard, they still have a chance to win over students with middle qualifications who don't work hard.
No information has been released and no one dares to take it lightly. According to public information from the academy, among the first batch of eliminated students were not only students with intermediate qualifications, but also students with upper-level qualifications.
In fact, it was a white lie from Hudson. Those who were eliminated in the first round were all a bunch of real scumbags.
Everyone rolls together, and the lazy ones get whipped. With the cultivation atmosphere here, how could there be any really bad students?
The purpose of lies is to make everyone think that the gap in qualifications is not insurmountable and can be smoothed out as long as you work hard enough.
It is a pity that the students with average talents are working hard, and the students with good talents are not idle, and they are also struggling in the army of involution.
Including those noble students who have completed basic training, they still insist on exercising every day in order to increase the probability of awakening the life seeds.
Not only do we work hard in cultivation, but we also work hard in cultural classes. Especially students who have completed basic training work hard in cultural classes.
It's not that they are illiterate, it's mainly that the college's textbook is too special. It's actually the "Military Training Record" written by Mr. Hudson himself.
It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, just memorize it word for word. What is recorded here is the training method of the Alpha Kingdom army.
Whether it is the kingdom's standing army or the private army of the great nobles, they all use this theory to train their troops.
All military-related knowledge is valuable. Even if it is public information among high-level people, it is still out of reach for minor nobles.
Even if he joins the standing army and is trained once, there is no way to record the complete training method.
This knowledge alone is not enough for them to enter the academy for further study. What's more, there are instructors with rich combat experience to consult, and smart students seize learning opportunities as much as possible.
The experience of their fathers tells them that just by improving their personal strength, they can only become a fierce general at best. If you want to climb higher in the military, the key is to learn the ability to command thousands of troops.
In this regard, Hudson is the authority. No one in the kingdom doubted his military commanding ability. Many aristocratic students were told by their parents before enrolling that they should work hard to become a disciple of Hudson.
There is no doubt that they are definitely not qualified now. However, this does not prevent everyone from working in this direction.
It’s embarrassing that someone with a better background than you works harder than you.
"Stop daydreaming, there are very few students with higher qualifications in the entire academy.
In our class, I guess only brothers Luo Li and Roy can do it. Their cultivation speed is far behind ours.
Unless we can awaken the legendary hidden bloodline or have a special physique, we can possibly surpass them! "
Jamie said shaking his head.
He heard about the hidden bloodline and special physique from his noble classmates, but he had no idea what it was exactly.
There was no chance to find out. He was just bragging in front of everyone based on the news he heard somewhere. The noble classmate who said this was just as confused.
Tutors in the academy have never had anything to do with being knowledgeable. In terms of knowledge level, it is not even comparable to some noble students.
The library is still under construction, and the specific books to be put in it completely depend on Mr. Hudson's mood.
"Just wait, I will definitely be able to awaken my special physique and become a talented knight like the lord.
When the time comes, I will lead the kingdom’s army to conquer all directions, destroy the orc empire in one fell swoop, and create a supreme legend that belongs to me…”
The teenagers’ high school dreams have turned into a unique scenery on campus. Even if the instructors bump into each other, they will just laugh and pass by.
Young people are motivated and dare to think about anything.
There are different opinions on Hudson's specific strength, and there has never been a unified statement.
Anyway, everyone who has sacrificed their lives with him knows that his commander is very powerful. Many people in the army regarded him as the most talented knight in the kingdom.
This statement has not spread, mainly because Hudson's dragon and bear are too eye-catching, causing the outside world to ignore his own strength.
The most important thing is the other talented knights, who basically earned their reputation through challenges along the way. Hudson has never faced a challenge.
It has nothing to do with status. It mainly involves challenging duels in the Aslant continent, and you are allowed to bring mounts to participate in the battle.
If you want to challenge Hudson, you have to challenge the two powerful players in the sanctuary.
When fighting against each other, everyone also knows to pay attention to the point of proportion and be able to achieve the goal. If you encounter a World of Warcraft, it will be difficult to say.
If the attack is not serious, being slapped on the tail by the giant dragon, or being slapped by the earth bear, it can be fatal.
All deaths are in vain. No major force is willing to provoke two sacred monsters for a dead idiot.
