438: Chapter 60, Rising of a Famous General_2 438: Chapter 60, Rising of a Famous General_2 “Crisis”, it is only when there is “danger”, that there is “opportunity”.
Without such opportunities, commoners and nobles will forever be two separate classes.
The highest mobilization order from Chris the Ninth cleared the judicial obstacles for commoners to become nobles.
Theoretically speaking, if one dares to take risks during the war and achieves brilliant feats, they can achieve a leap in life.
Whether one could cross over, still depended on luck.
Quite a few noble families owed their rise to their ancestors succeeding in doing so.
Thrive, decline, rebound, decline…
As long as the family doesn’t perish, this cycle continues.
There is no family in this world that can flourish forever.
Even the so-called ancient nobles claiming thousands or tens of thousands of years of lineage probably only left a family name as their legacy.
Gold coins and gold products are easy to handle.
Their values are clear at a glance and can be divided directly.
As for all the miscellaneous things left behind, they could only be dealt with once they had been disposed of.
After all, this is wartime, and the old price system has already collapsed.
The various artworks that were once in high demand are now not as valuable as bread.
Any item associated with the war has seen its price soar.
No one wants the elf slaves, but the magical equipment in the spoils of the war were immediately scrambled for by the nobles.
The final treatment method is simple, just auction it directly – the highest bidder gets it.
All that could be digested internally has been digested, leaving behind a smaller portion of magical materials and a pile of bizarre things that were kept in the expeditionary army’s warehouse.
As the chief commander of the Expeditionary Army, Hudson naturally took away the largest piece of the cake, followed by Mr.
Belsden who was the pillar of the combat force.
The Bearman Imperial Court’s war flag alone could not be simply measured with money.
The only problem is that it is currently impossible to send the war flag out, or rather, Hudson is unwilling to give it out cheaply.
The current Moxi Duchy was overwhelmed with its own problems and could not afford this hefty price.
Giving the flag to them, apart from boosting morale, would have no substantive meaning.
No matter how generous the promise, Hudson would not foolishly run to the Moxi Duchy to guard the frontier for them.
If it were to be taken back to his own country, the journey was too long and who knows what could happen?
If by any chance, it were snatched back by the Orcs halfway, then all the effort would go in vain.
Moreover, Hudson could not return home at the moment, and the Koslow family had no one in court, so even if he took things back, it would be hard to get the due reward.
Rather than making a wedding dress for others, it was better to keep the flag to enhance his own prestige.
Hanging it in the visitor’s hall would command respect from anyone who saw it.
During the time of training troops, it could also be shown from time to time to dispel the ordinary soldiers’ fear of the Orcs.
Having experienced this great war, Hudson clearly felt the transformation of the troops.
Not only did the troops involved in the war become more confident, but the morale of the city garrison also soared.
The things that were once feared by hearing about the Orcs, will no longer happen now.
Listening to the constant boasting of his peers, the native Moxi Nobles were filled with envy and jealousy.
For such a large-scale battle, even if one just participated in it for the sake of numbers, it would be talked about for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, before the outbreak of the war, hardly a few people dared to sign up to participate.
Of course, even if they were willing to sign up, Hudson would not give them the chance to make trouble on the battlefield.
It’s not completely impossible to get one’s name on the list of meritorious service.
As long as Master Hudson is given a generous gift, one could be listed.
The size of the meritorious service is entirely based on the value of the gift.
After all, the Expeditionary Army and the Moxi Garrison are two systems and will not rob each other’s resources.
After internal problems were sorted out, a victory report, artistically crafted, was distributed in the name of the Expeditionary Army.
Thinking of this, Hudson couldn’t help but complain: the Kingdom didn’t value the Expeditionary Army, even communication with the Capital was filled with difficulties.
Every time they send a message, either the Gryphon Cavalry of the Moxi people deliver the letters, or they have to send messengers to gallop a thousand miles.
Though communication being difficult is not entirely a problem, the biggest benefit is that Hudson’s authority is high enough that he doesn’t need to consult about everything.
Even if he’s provoking a large-scale battle, he does not need to report to the Kingdom.
Were they to suffer a defeat, it could be possible to completely block the news.
As long as the Expeditionary Army is controlled well and the loss of soldiers is timely replenished, it can be muddled through.
For a country that has long been at war with the Orcs, being chased around by the Orcs is not a big deal at all.
As long as the position is not lost, and there is not a large loss of troops, all are strategically retreating.
…
“What, Earl Hudson went to attack the Bearman Imperial Court?”
Marshal Hodge incredulously asked.
Before the battle report was sent out, the news had already been leaked.
By exchanging information with neighbors in advance, everyone was closely watching the occupation.
The specific situation was unclear, but just from observing the Orcs being chased around, everyone knew that Hudson had won a battle.
For such good news, it was necessary to inform their boss.
Originally, Marshal Hodge considered it a small victory and didn’t take it to heart.
However, the followed news that kept coming made his heart beat faster.
As a seasoned veteran, Marshal Hodge was barely able to keep calm.
Now that the news of the attack on the Bearman Imperial Court has come out, this old Marshal couldn’t help it either.
He no longer cared about any image, and directly asked his question.
