Chapter 120 - 120 98 Unexpected Person Request for Monthly Ticket_3

120: Chapter 98, Unexpected Person (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3 120: Chapter 98, Unexpected Person (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3 A smart one is not common, but also normal.

Most nobles aren’t very impressive in their youth, only maturing after they’ve experienced more life.

Evola is clearly lacking in societal hard knocks.

If she were to face a few more setbacks and fall for a few more traps, she might become more cautious.

“Let her slowly figure it out.

This is something one must gradually understand themselves.

If we help her now, we’re just harming her.”

Hudson said helplessly.

Some teammates are sincerely hard to motivate.

We’ve already told her that if she wants to gain a territory, she needs to focus on certain aspects.

Unfortunately, Evola is genuinely afraid of being invaded by Orcs.

It’s a good thing to have a sense of responsibility, but doing what suits one’s status is always the best choice.

As for the Orc invasion, clearly it’s something upper crust should worry about.

As a small player following the zeitgeist, the most effective strategy is to improve one’s power.

“You two are enough!

You’re making me feel like an idiot.

What’s the issue?

It’s just the impending invasion of the Orcs, let me prepare in advance.

So what’s the problem with that?”

You lords and heirs are certain to take to the battlefield.

As a rogue knight, whether I join the war or not depends on my mood.

If you find me annoying, and don’t want to take me along, just say it.

I won’t bother you.

At worst, I’ll go abroad until the war is over.

There’s no need to fret this much.”

A strong argument.

Hudson was left speechless.

Suddenly, he realized that Evola had some advantages, at least she knew to dodge when danger loomed.

As long as one remains alive, there’s hope.

The fiercest competition in the Alpha Kingdom is among the noble children.

If a large war broke out and most of the nobility died, opportunities would arise.

Maybe they don’t even need to go to war, they could inherit a title from some unfortunate relative.

Considering the vast network of the Koslow family, there’s inevitably someone who will perish in every major war.

From a probability point of view, the chance of inheriting seems higher than the chance of winning a territory on the battlefield.

“No, Evola, I must apologize to you!

You’re not really stupid, you just don’t like to think.

Actually, this plan is also good.

Like a rabbit with three burrows, it’s better to prepare a backup plan than to get caught unprepared.”

Hudson said seriously.

In his heart, he truly supported Evola going into hiding.

After all, the Northern battlefield is genuinely dangerous.

Whenever a big war breaks out, if the number of nobles in the Alpha Kingdom doesn’t decrease by a third, the war doesn’t seem to end.

Especially the last war, where the number of nobles in the country was reduced by seventy percent.

Nelson doesn’t need persuading either.

A man with great ambition will not give up easily before experiencing setbacks.

This is almost a common problem for all “gifted talents”.

Including Hudson himself it’s no exception, he also wants to make something of himself.

…

In Qiaomu County, the Viscount Orlan’s face turned grave as he read the letter in his hand.

“Is the news accurate?

The missing Skeleton Holy Master has truly reappeared?”

It’s not that he hasn’t seen enough of the world, but after experiencing the killing power of the Skeleton Society firsthand, he can’t help but worry.

The last Skeleton Society rebellion resulted in the ruin of two counties.

Although Earl Piers allowed it to happen, the Skeleton Society’s strength was the main factor.

Now, hearing that the instigator who caused the Skeleton Society rebellion suddenly appeared on his own territory, he finds it difficult not to be nervous.

“Viscount, this information was obtained with the life of Knight Florian.

And the fifty-seven soldiers who accompanied him all fell into enemy hands.

If it weren’t for Baron Pedro, Knight Toransi, Knight Rudolf, who were returning from a trade with the Mountain Domain, with a large team passing by coincidentally, we might not have gotten this news.

They also confirmed that the attacker wore a mask, and was very powerful, much like the Skeleton Holy Master of the legends.

Unfortunately, the enemy was very cunning.

As soon as they saw the large team, they left without any hesitation.”

The middle-aged knight hastily explained.

In the entire Southeastern Province, there are only a few who can kill fifty-seven soldiers and a knight.

Except for the nobles’ camp, only a few top-level cult organizations are left, and the Skeleton Holy Master is undoubtedly one of them.

Whether it’s a personal killing or a cult organization causing chaos, it’s no longer important.

As long as the suspicion points to the Skeleton Holy Master, it must be treated with caution.

“Immediately send someone to report the information we obtained to the Governor’s Mansion, and tell the governor that the Skeleton Society is poised to rise again.

Order the nobles in the county to strengthen their guard and prevent the Skeleton Society from causing chaos.

Especially those weak knight’s territories, it would be best for several neighboring ones to gather together and not give the enemy an opportunity.”

Viscount Orlan made a prompt decision.

No matter if it’s true or false, he has to treat it as if it’s true.

Originally, he was thinking of organizing a patrol team to capture the Skeleton Holy Master, but in the end, he decided to give up.

It’s not easy to provoke a cult leader, the best scenario would be driving them away.

Even if they can’t be driven away, let’s wait for the people from the Governor’s Mansion to arrive.

If he acts rashly and pushes the person into a corner, he might drag him down as a scapegoat.

There are too many negative cases like this, and the cautious Viscount Orlan doesn’t want to take the risk.

After a pause, he issued another order: “Now that the autumn plowing has ended, organize the healthy serfs for training.

Send someone to place an order with the Mountain Baron.

I want to purchase two thousand spears, five hundred broadswords, two hundred warhammers, and two hundred battle-axes…”

Originally, Viscount Orlan looked down upon the junk that Hudson produced, but after being spurred by the Skeleton Holy Master, he suddenly realized that his military strength was insufficient.

The serf soldiers who just put down their hoes do not have much fighting power, but they are able to guard the castle after being armed and slightly trained.
