  Based on a preliminary understanding of the history of the mainland, apart from feeling incredible, there is only one thought in Hudson's mind-chaos.

   "A small battle in three years, a big battle in ten years", as if the whole world was born for war.

  Not only do wars often break out between countries, but even the nobles and lords within the kingdom have constant disputes. It can be said that from the moment of birth, war has accompanied the life of the nobleman.

  The reasons for the outbreak of the war are all kinds of strange things, only unexpected, nothing impossible. A nest of honey or a beast may become the fuse of the outbreak of war.

  If it weren't for the existence of extraordinary power, Hudson would have doubted that he had returned to the Middle Ages. Except for the addition of alien races, the continent of Aslant is simply a replica of the European Middle Ages.

  Perhaps because of the cost, except for the key descriptions related to the Koslow family, most of the rest are just passing through, which made Hudson very disappointed.

  The most troublesome thing is that these are all past materials, which are completely inconsistent with the current situation. If you want to know the situation in the outside world, you can only ask Baron Redman.

   But as a Xibei product, Hudson has no time to hide from him now, so how could he send it to his door?

  Failed to find the answer he wanted, and returned to his residence full of doubts, Hudson suddenly found that the magic beast crystal nucleus on his body had turned into powder.

   "The Baroness fooling herself with fakes?"

   As soon as this thought arose, Hudson dismissed it. At the time of delivery, he also personally inspected it, and the strong magic power cannot be faked.

   What's more, the time is so short, and it's too late to arrange the fake ones. Hudson didn't think the Baroness could have a magician at her side.

   Concentrating, Hudson vaguely found that there seemed to be an extra compass in his mind, and there was a four-character inscription engraved on it.

  Gold Finger seems to have got it. Unfortunately, Hudson has limited knowledge and doesn't know the four ancient Chinese characters above.

  Of course, even knowing it is useless. No matter how simple the operation procedure is, it is impossible to have only four words.

   Don't know how to use it, and Hudson is not annoyed. Regardless of whether it can be used or not, it is better than nothing. The compass is activated after absorbing magic power, which is an entry point.

  Maybe if you feed a few more magic cores, you will be able to find out how to use the compass. Just thinking of the high price of the magic core made Hudson feel bad in an instant.

   Sure enough, he just didn't have the fate to make a fortune. In the previous life, he was in debt and moved forward, but he did not expect that after time travel, he would still be a poor ghost. I just made a small fortune, and I'm about to spit it out again.

  The magic core is not easy to change, you have to go to a big city, and the remote town of Tielun probably has a collection in the Baron's Mansion and Pastor Quinn.

  If Hudson is a magician and alchemist, he still hopes to find a cheap father for prostitution. Forget about the knight, the profession is not right.

   There is no rush for this kind of thing, and the cautious Hudson will not take risks before he has figured out the situation.

  …

  In the early morning, just as a round of red clouds rose in the sky, the square of the town was full of people.

  A knight does not exist alone, and must have auxiliary attendants. After all, armor, weapons, and horses also need someone to take care of them, and noble knights and lords can't be ashamed to do it themselves.

  Hudson was no exception. Today it was his turn to choose his attendants, and all the teenagers in the square came here to try their luck.

  Although it is just a knight servant, it is still unattainable for ordinary citizens.

   After taking this step, you are eligible to participate in military training. If you make meritorious service on the battlefield, you can also get rewards.

  The battlefield is indeed dangerous, but the problem is that if you don’t become a knight attendant, you still have to follow the battlefield.

  For small and medium nobles who could not afford to support a standing army, it was commonplace to conscript serfs to join the war.

  In any case, the survival rate of following the leader is always higher than that of the soldiers below.

   "Hudson, start selecting people in your own way!"

   Baron Redman said blankly.

   Close cooperation is required on the battlefield, and of course the closer the attendants are, the better. Hudson is naturally familiar with this group of spirited guys in front of him, and there are many close people among them.

   But they belonged to the original owner and have nothing to do with the current Hudson. With only the vague memory in his mind, he couldn't tell who was who.

  "Whoever intends to become a knight servant, run ten laps along the town, with the hourglass falling as the time limit."

   Hudson said with a smile.

   It's just that the smile fell into the eyes of all the teenagers, but it looked extraordinarily terrifying.

   Seeing that there was only half of the hourglass left, everyone hurried to run, lest they be left behind.

   It doesn't matter if you can't beat the enemy, as long as you can outrun your teammates. In Hudson's view, the war in the aristocratic world is also "the one who remains is king".

  In this era of serious class solidification, it is almost impossible to soar to the sky. For a small nobleman like him who has no inheritance rights, the best way is to boil.

  It is far easier to survive until the previous heir receives the box lunch, or until the relatives die out, or find a marriage with a noble with a small number of people, than to obtain a fief after making military exploits.

   After all, the land now is owned by the owner. Unless there is an external force to break through, it is difficult to have a big opportunity.

  Anyway, one radish and one hole, without the emergence of unclaimed fiefs, there will be no new fief nobles born. Even if credit is made, it is only an honorary nobility.

   "Shushashasha..."

  The hourglass bottomed out soon, and the teenagers who participated in the knight attendants returned to the square one after another, either rejoicing or dejected.

   Just when Hudson was about to announce the result, Baron Redman suddenly said: "A total of 31 people arrived on time, let's start the second round!"

  In an instant, Hudson understood what was going on, too many people passed. Tielun Town naturally does not lack this population, but the problem is that he lacks a source of income now.

  According to the usual practice, after several months of running-in training, he will go out to fend for himself.

  In Hudson's view, the more knight attendants who don't need wages, the better, but Baron Redman doesn't think he can afford it.

  Traditional knights make their living from wars, and life would be difficult without a foundation. But Hudson is different. He doesn't have the burden of noble honor, and he can go to bandits to rob caravans when he is in a hurry.

  With a sharp sword in your hand and valleys in your chest, how can you be hungry?

  The arms can't hold the thighs, and now they have to rely on Baron Redman to live. Hudson said helplessly: "Next, the ten strongest people will be selected in terms of skills."

   After finishing speaking, he ignored Baron Redman's ugly expression. Ten people is already his final bottom line, there can be no less.

   More people do not necessarily mean greater strength, but fewer people will definitely suffer. To start a business in the era of cold weapons, the more teams the better.
