429: Chapter 57, Robbery – The Fuse_1 429: Chapter 57, Robbery – The Fuse_1 In order to avoid the orc’s sight, while it was still dark, battalions of soldiers quietly left the Flying Bear Fort.
As the commander in chief, Hudson personally acted as a sentinel, patrolling the area with Belsden.
Theories are just theories, it was the first time stirring up such a ruckus, Hudson did not have complete confidence in his heart.
However, since he has chosen the path of a general, this step must be taken.
Looking at the high-spirited troops, Hudson knew that the pep talk given before the sortie was not in vain.
“Baron Katelai, the ambush mission will be entrusted to you this time.
Upon successful completion, send out a signal, I will bring the troops out to meet you.”
While speaking, Hudson didn’t forget to make a face that signaled his approval.
He had to be careful, the troops capable of marching overnight were carefully chosen elites.
For the sake of increasing the success rate of the action, Hudson had no choice but to make heavy use of the experienced nobles of the North.
Even if their past relationships were a bit unsettling, it did not affect their current cooperation.
Everything could be handled, but the key was how to avoid enemy scouting after daybreak, this was very crucial.
Although similar drills have been conducted, it is still a team of three thousand men after all, if they expose their traces, the Orc Transport Squad would likely turn into the encircling army.
“His Excellency the Count, please rest assured!
As long as the Orc Transport Squad comes, I will certainly complete the mission.”
Baron Kailet said fervently.
Opportunities to take the spotlight are rare, especially now when there are two vacant positions of Legion Commanders, whoever can make a great contribution first, will have the upper hand.
As a Baron, being appointed as the Legion Commander throughout the history of Alpha Kingdom is rarely seen.
Now having this opportunity, is entirely due to the special circumstances of the Expeditionary Army.
The Kingdom may not be able to send new officers over, the original few Legion Commanders are also disregarded.
The era of the Expeditionary Army deciding positions by status and position has ended, Hudson clearly announced that the next appointment of Legion Commanders will be based on military merit.
A bit unconventional, but given the current situation of the Expeditionary Army, this is the best choice.
Watching the team set off, Hudson cast his gaze towards Belsden who had just returned from scouting, and asked concernedly, “In the Bearman Imperial Court, has there been any major changes?”
Daring to stir up trouble, naturally, he had to first clarify the strength of nearby enemies.
Flying Bear Fort is within the sphere of influence of the Bearman Imperial Court, Hudson naturally had to focus on it.
“Rest assured, the scent of those Bearman brats, I couldn’t be more familiar with, there hasn’t been any changes.
By the way, the Orc’s camps have increased a bit, they have added various species like the naughty fox, stinky pig’s trotters, filthy goblins…all useless sorts, you should be able to resist.
Hudson, if you ask me, you might as well take people to demolish the Bearman Imperial Court.
Counting people, the number of soldiers in your hands is not much less than them.”
Belsden’s words made Hudson roll his eyes.
If fighting a war was only about counting heads, the Orc Army would have long been driven back to their old nest.
Ever since they sent two main army groups south, apart from one main army group in the Bearman Imperial Court, the remaining few Cannon Fodder Legions have average combat abilities.
The difference in strength between both sides is not too big, a decisive battle can likely result in both suffering losses, this is also why Hudson dared to constantly stir things up.
If conditions permit, Hudson really doesn’t mind demolishing the Bearman Imperial Court, adding a historic achievement to his record.
In the worst case scenario, they’d just retreat after the fight, not giving the Orc Army a chance for revenge.
Having such prominent military merits, losing Flying Bear Fort would be worth it.
“Mr.
Belsden, don’t you think there are a bit too many masters in the Bearman Camp?
The last time a certain bear went over, he almost got into trouble.
What if we can’t hold on and the nearby Orc Army comes to aid, do you think the Moxi Army hiding in the fortress will be able to hold them off?”
Hudson mercilessly pointed out the shortcomings.
Ever since he started his career, Belsden has had it smooth sailing and seemed more like the protagonist than him, the actual owner.
Although his character has become more cautious due to Hudson’s influence during his growth process, the inherent arrogance within him that looks down on everything else has continued to grow with his increasing strength.
Walk in a bar at night too often, and one would inevitably trip.
In a certain reconnaissance mission at the Bearman Imperial Court’s camp, he was discovered by an Orc master due to his carelessness.
Both sides fought a big battle in the Bearman Imperial Court, initially gaining some advantage, but in the face of the orc’s unworthy group attack, Belsden eventually had to make a disgraceful retreat.
With the reveal of his dark history, Belsden’s good mood instantly disappeared.
His bear eyes stared fiercely at Hudson, a pair of bear paws constantly rubbing on the ground, as if warning: I’m about to lose my temper.
But he still defended himself, “It was only last time we were unprepared and fell for the trap of those despicable and shameless people.
Wait, in a hundred years, I will definitely get back at them!”
“A hundred years,” upon hearing this number Hudson quickly shut up.
It really is tragic to have a longevity race as an enemy.
A gentleman seeks revenge ten years is not late, Belsden seeks revenge with a hundred years as a start.
If according to the current growth rate of the young bear, Hudson very much doubted that in a hundred years, it could tear down the Bearman Imperial Court directly.
Forget it, it’s better not to offend the grudge-holding bear too much.
Otherwise, he might come to defecate and urinate on his grave in hundreds of years, that would be really awkward.
