Chapter 125 - 125 100 The Tragic Gatekeeper_2

125: Chapter 100: The Tragic Gatekeeper_2 125: Chapter 100: The Tragic Gatekeeper_2 You can’t find a second conscientious employer like Hudson, who covers losses, on the entire Continent of Aslante.

However, this also indirectly indicates that the risk of this operation will not be too high, at least it will not cause a large number of casualties, otherwise his astute cousin would never promise to cover the losses.

“Yes, esteemed Knight Adrian.

The content of the letter is my lord’s promise.

Besides you, more than a dozen noble lords have been invited.

Our lord will also personally lead the army to participate in the escort, and guarantees that the knights participating in this operation will be no less than ten, so the safety issue you are concerned about is not a problem.”

Looking at the confident messenger soldier, Adrian became more and more certain of his judgment.

More likely, some sucker paid for it, bribed his cousin.

The Skeleton Society is indeed powerful, but it’s only a remnant group, so the number certainly can’t be too many.

Coupled with a few hundred elite soldiers escorting more than a dozen knights, they are well-equipped to deal with various emergencies.

After all, this world is, after all, a world governed by nobles.

Once a fight breaks out, it will soon attract the attention of the surrounding noble lords.

As long as it’s not a one-sided battle, reinforcements will quickly arrive on the battlefield.

However powerful the Skeleton Society’s top fighters are, they wouldn’t just knock them out as soon as they start, would they?

If they were that awesome, they would have reversed the outcome of the last big fight, rather than having to hide here and there.

If they don’t encounter an enemy, they can earn some hard money to pad their thin wallets.

If they do encounter an enemy and manage to keep them, it would be a windfall.

They can not only earn money from their employers, but also receive a reward from the governor’s mansion.

If they can take down some major figures, they can even be given a military merit.

Although there are no new lands to distribute at the moment, nobody would say no to military merit.

Even if they serve in the Kingdom’s Army, those with military merit will be assigned a higher position.

It doesn’t have much of an impact during normal times, but during war, the rank of an army directly affects the survival rate on the battlefield.

“Tell Hudson, I accept this deal.

If there are such good deals in the future, let him continue to take care of me.”

Knight Adrian replied nonchalantly.

Unlike Hudson, who is worried about being burglarized, he does not have such concerns at all.

Those unlucky guys who have been raiding Knight Adrian’s territory are still licking their wounds.

If they try to provoke me again, they must have taken Earl Piers for a dead man.

The result ruled by the governor himself is not even two months old yet, and they dare to overthrow it arbitrarily.

That’s a challenge to the governor’s authority.

Such a fool does not exist in the Southeastern Province.

Even if there are nobles who dare to confront the governor, they do so within the rules.

If they violate the rules and challenge the authority of the governor, they will have to feel the power of the Kingdom’s iron fist.

Similar scenes were playing out in several other territories.

Although not as exaggerated as Knight Adrian’s actions, overall they were defeated by gold coins.

Maybe everyone is not as domineering as Knight Adrian, who gave a profound lesson to his neighbors directly, but there are not many who are afraid of being burglarized like Hudson.

The reason is simple.

Those invited are all impoverished knights.

The most important wealth of the territory is the serfs, and no one dares to touch these things now.

Land can’t be moved.

Livestock and agricultural tools can be stored at the houses of friendly neighbors before leaving.

Unless it’s a cult attack, no noble would be interested in this kind of poor territory that can’t squeeze out any oil.

If they do encounter a cult attack, they should run even faster.

Because whether they are there or not does not influence the outcome.

If they’re not at home, they may avoid the duty to guard the land.

They can also ask their employer for help afterwards to suppress it, after all, the noble society is a society of personal connections.

Nominally, Hudson is hiring guards, but from another perspective, isn’t he extending his favours too?

For just half a month, to make such a round trip, the money for farm tools and daily necessities are earned back, such good work is hard to come by.

Without a certain relationship, there’s no way it would even come their way.

…

In the sunny Salam Mountain Range, with only a few “swishes”, a string of wild geese fell from the sky.

If you look carefully, you’ll see that the arrows are from three hundred meters away, and even though just five arrows were released, thirteen wild geese fell, the most astounding thing is that these arrows went straight through the heads of the wild geese.

How did this illogical scene come to be?

No one knows, but the fact is right in front of us.

“Baron Hudson, that’s some impressive archery skills!

There’s probably no one else who could match your skill in the entire Alpha Kingdom.

Even in the entire human race, there are only a few who can reach your level, perhaps only some divine archers in the Elf Race could compete with you.”

Baron Katelai is not flattery.

The scene before his eyes indeed stunned him.

Outsiders see the excitement, insiders see the doorway.

Having battled in the Northern Battlefield, he is not without knowledge of the divine archers.

But such unreasonable archery skills like Hudson, he had never heard of them.

Keep in mind that from drawing the bow to releasing the arrow, Hudson did everything spontaneously, without any preparation at all.

Not only does the hit rate go against the heavens, but the most incredible thing is that he fired five arrows in succession, apparently without needing to aim at all.
