The results of the handling of the robbery business trip were quickly released, and there were no accidents, and after all, it was the skeleton club that had the most trouble last year to bear everything.

The nobles who were controlled by the cult were uniformly arranged by the Governor's Office for the priests to lift the curse. The soldiers who participated in the robbery were all sent to the northern frontier and could not be released for life.

Overall, this is an outcome that is acceptable to all parties. Including the Skull and Bones Society, which carried the black cauldron, did not express any objections.

Maybe it's because of the debt, or maybe it's because the jar is broken and broken, and it is directly rotten, anyway, Hudson has not heard of the recent movement of the Skull Society.

The only unwillingness is probably a group of business travelers who have been robbed. The murderers have been caught, and all the lost goods have magically disappeared, which is simply a "big joke in the world".

It's useless to be unwilling, as the most voiceless group, they have never had the right to speak in politics.

If you really dare to make a fuss, you can find a hundred reasons to take them down by casually checking their past dealings.

"Profiteer", these two words are not called in vain. Buying and selling legally, that's purely high-risk hard-earned money.

If you really keep to yourself, you will want to make a lot of money for the rest of your life.

There is no problem, it is the business of most merchants, and there are nobles behind them, or they can be related to the nobles.

Some big merchants have more energy than small and medium-sized nobles. Even in front of the big nobles, he can have a little face.

But if you mess with the nobles for a long time and think of yourself as a nobleman, that is the beginning of disaster.

This is an example, even if a group of merchants mobilized all their energy, they could not get a satisfactory result in the end.

The answer given by the governor's palace did not satisfy them, and the answer given by the kingdom was even more ridiculous.

As if there was no such thing, a wanted warrant for the Skull and Bones Society, plus a personnel appointment that added fuel to the fire.

As an old rebel organization, the Skull and Bones Society's wanted warrants have been hanging in the Alpha Kingdom for hundreds of years, and adding another one won't change anything.

Not only were the merchants dissatisfied, but also the local nobles, including Hudson, who were strongly dissatisfied.

"Baron Cailliaud succeeded him as Warden of Wytonshire".

"Baron Sith succeeded him as Warden of Latshire County".

Everyone fought for so long, but in the end, the two second generations took all the fruits of victory. No one is happy when this kind of thing happens.

If Hudson hadn't earned a viscount himself, he would have made up for his political losses a little, and he would not have secured the position of the spokesman for the interests of the local aristocracy.

You can't blame everyone for the reality, the world is too cruel. It is too difficult for the little nobles to counterattack.

Others seem to be complaining about Hudson, but in fact, they are more venting their inner unwillingness.

In the eyes of many people, if you have a Sith or Cayo background and have so many resources, you can do a better job than them.

In the midst of the whirlpool, Hudson could only say: the truth!

There are indeed many nobles in the two counties who are not worse than the two of them, but unfortunately some of the gaps can be made up for if they are not acquired efforts.

Even if the two of them mess up, as long as they make waves, the family behind them will be willing to pay for their tuition.

In contrast, other children of small and medium-sized nobles are not good. Their lives do not allow any mistakes, and a small mistake can make all their efforts go to waste.

It's useless to be unwilling, the world of nobility doesn't believe in tears.

After a brief period of distraction, Hudson quickly recovered. There is still a long way to go in life, and temporary gains and losses are nothing.

Woe to you, blessing!

Without the position of the county guard, it seems that he is at a disadvantage in this battle, but it also allows him to avoid a lot of trouble.

The appointment of the king is only justified in the general righteousness, and whether the position of the county guard can be deserved depends on their means.

The situation in Wyton County is aside, but if Baron Sith wants to control Littleshire, it depends on Hudson's willingness to cooperate.

There is no way, who let Baron Sith have bad luck?

The appearance of two viscounts in one county is nothing new in the Alpha Kingdom, but most of them are empty viscounts.

It is not a fiefdom viscount of the county guard, and it is rare to see it in the entire Aslant continent.

If this happens, the authority of the county warden's authority will inevitably be seriously challenged.

Whether it can be suppressed or not depends on the strength of the family where the county guard is located and his personal means.

Baron Sith's backstage is naturally hard enough, but the problem is that the fists of Lord Hudson he met are not weak.

The father of the Grand Duke, who was far away in the northland, had limited face in the southeastern provinces, and the power of the Felix family in the southern frontier was not enough to make Hudson bow his head.

It's not that he is greedy for power, it's really that he is in the aristocratic circle, and he can't help himself.

As the spokesman for the interests of the local aristocracy in the county, everyone has this demand for him to fight, how can Hudson back down?

You can't just enjoy the benefits and don't want to take responsibility and obligations, right?

An irresponsible boss, why let the younger brothers follow?

Without the support of these people, Hudson would not be where he is today. It seems that his rise is a coincidence and his own struggle, but in fact, the local nobles have also made great efforts.

Not to mention anything else, the resounding name was blown out by everyone.

When supplies were scarce and an exchange was needed, none of the local nobles took advantage of the fire to loot.

These are all human favors.

It may seem inconspicuous, but it can play an important role at critical moments.

If it weren't for these strong supports, why would Hudson dare to take over the orc slaves at this time of scarcity?

After taking everyone's benefits, it is natural to safeguard everyone's interests. At the very least, this cooperation will not change until interests diverge.

If he was not able to seize the position of county guard, the celebration still had to continue. The more you lose, the more confident you have to behave.

Hudson didn't need to worry about the specific ceremonies. After receiving his letter, Baron Redman rushed over to do it.

Other branches in the province have also sent people to help one after another, and clansmen from outside the province are also on the way.

Looking at the enthusiastic faces of the clansmen, Hudson had some doubts that this celebration was not for himself, but for them.

It's better to have passion than not to have passion. Although the Coslow family is in decline, there is still a glorious time for their ancestors.

Now is the time to reflect the heritage, a lot of hidden things, flipping through the database of each branch, can still provide some reference.

It turned out that at the time, it was incapable. Now, Hudson has to do something to contribute to the family's development.

In a short period of time, it is not realistic to integrate the Coslow family. Each branch has been separated for hundreds of years and has long been self-contained.

Unless the ancestral land can be recovered, there is the righteousness of the revival family, and the agreement reached by each lineage, there is no way to let each branch be a little brother willingly.

However, it is still possible to further consolidate the internal relations of this family-style alliance, gather the knowledge accumulated by various branches, and increase the internal communication activities of family members.

Heritage, this thing is not only reflected in strength, but also in the accumulation of knowledge.

In the past, knowledge exchange was only possible on a small scale. It is even more unthinkable to concentrate the knowledge reserves of each branch and share the knowledge achievements.

It's not that everyone doesn't know the benefits of doing this, but because of their own strength, no one can afford to take the risk of triggering the prying eyes of the outside world.

The current situation is different, the little background of the Coslow family is not enough for the big nobles to rob regardless of face, and they don't know how much is piled up in the treasury.

The peeping of small and medium-sized nobles is no longer a problem for mountain leaders. One Earth Bear + two elite infantry regiments, enough to scare them.

With an additional platform for communication and learning, adult children of all branches will inevitably come over and learn more knowledge.

As long as people come, Hudson doesn't worry about not being able to carry private work. As long as the next generation is recovered, the thoughts of the old men above are actually not important.

The descendants can take their time, Hudson has patience, and in a short period of time, he can start with the children of the side lines first.

Especially for the children of the distant branch who lacked cultivation resources, a life essence could be exchanged for ten years of service.

This is not Hudson's heart, in fact, if this kind of treatment is spread, some people in the outside world will rush inside.

This is how the "knights" of the major forces were formed. Many people have signed harsh unequal treaties for the sake of a life essence.

Even so, there are still many people who can't grab it. For many big forces, instead of raising too many cannon fodder knights, it is better to cultivate cheaper "warriors".

A mutilated and incomplete one, only the previous part of the Dou Qi cultivation method is enough.

Cultivation resources don't care, and no one teaches the specific cultivation process, how many qualified warriors can be born purely depends on their luck.

Cast a wide net, and there will always be a reward. You don't need to cultivate your fighting spirit very much, as long as the base is large enough, you can cultivate an army with extraordinary strength.

Hudson is also following suit, but the harvest has not been ideal. Even if the base is expanded, there are still very few geniuses.

Perhaps this is also the reason why extraordinary armies are scarce, even if the great nobles can gather a transcendent army of thousands of people, it is a profound background.

Hudson didn't dare to expect to build a supernatural army now, but it was necessary to make his army more elite.

There are qualified soldiers, and now there is a shortage of qualified officers. Serf soldiers who have not learned any knowledge can manage the number one hundred and eighty people well, which is almost the limit.

Unless they have experienced a hundred battles and experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield, it is too difficult to expect them to lead troops to fight.

It's not just a matter of talent, it's mainly the education of the day after tomorrow, so that they are used to listening to the lord and are unwilling to use their brains when they encounter things.

Talent is rare. Most of the children of the family who came here last time have now stayed, and have been tricked into the army by Hudson to hone their training.

The ability level of the children of the family is also uneven, but the foundation is much stronger than that of serfs, and the upper limit of their development potential is also much higher.

Even if he knew that the soldiers were a double-edged sword, and it was easy to form a closed faction by using the children of the family on a large scale, Hudson couldn't care so much.

The trouble of inbreeding, the huddle of interests, that's the future. If you don't increase your military strength first, if the Orc Empire fights, you won't be able to see the future.

Hudson needs a loyal and combat-ready army to deal with the next changes.

……

"Hudson, the invitations are ready. Take a look at what else you can please, and don't leave out some important people. ”

Baron Redman admonished.

Identity and status determine the circle. When he was a fledgling, Hudson was mixed with the lowest knights, and it was difficult to make friends with a few barons once in a while.

By now, Hudson had half a foot in the "upper class" of the southeastern provinces. Although he doesn't have much to do with nobles of the same grade, he knows a lot of strong people!

In the last battle to exterminate locusts, Hudson was not a fool. With the strong people who participated in the operation, they basically mixed up with familiar faces.

Originally, this kind of friendship was nothing, but Bear Stearns' "adulthood" gave him an impressive capital again.

I'm not sure otherwise, even if I don't come if I send an invitation, the representative will definitely send one.

In this way, almost all the forces in the province with a little weight have been included.

There is no doubt that this kind of ostentatious display of connections must have political significance.

Hudson's goal is very clear, that is, to create the illusion that all the powerful factions in the southeastern provinces are supporting him.

Only in this way can the little brothers who follow him have enough confidence to keep going. Not one day, the Felix family made a statement, and directly coaxed back.

After a quick glance at the invitation, Hudson smiled and said, "Don't worry, father."

These invitations have invited all the large and medium-sized forces in the province.

If there can still be omissions, it must be that this force is too weak and lacks a sense of existence. If it leaks, it doesn't hurt.

I will personally receive the important guests on the list. The rest will be left to Nelson and Evora, and there will be no chaos.

Mainly on the family side, this time it may be a bit complicated to come and you need to worry a lot.

There are many declining branches, and now there is not even a knight. When the time comes, it is easy to ignore the past in terms of reception arrangements. ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

It's not that Hudson looks down on people, it's really that the Aslant continent is very hierarchical, and if guests of different statuses and grades are arranged together, everyone's hearts will not be comfortable.

The reception work is destined to be divided into three, six, nine and so on. At this time, it can reflect the benefits of prosperity.

According to the principle of reciprocity, Hudson was to greet the most distinguished guests. The rest of the guests can be left to the brothers to be responsible for the reception.

The family came, and Baron Redman went to catch up with them. Even the female roll of the reference celebration has a married sister rushing back to help.

As for cheap stepmoms, there is no chance of showing up on such occasions. It's all determined by identity, and no matter how unwilling you are, you can only stay in your hometown.

The pillow wind is useless, it involves the face of the entire Coslow family, and Baron Redman does not dare to be negligent in this.

Compared to Baron Redman's emphasis, Hudson was more relaxed.

Perhaps because of the confidence brought by strength, he didn't have much thought about this special celebratory banquet.

The banquet is only on the surface, in essence, everyone can come to the party or value the strength.

If it had been a year ago, Hudson would have dared to post such an invitation, and I would have guessed that people would be able to use it as a match.

If it had been held directly in the Provisional Lord's Palace, as Hudson had intended, the celebration would have begun long ago.

At this time, it is mainly Baron Redman's insistence that he can't make do so casually, and he must make a grade.

As a result, the temporary lord's mansion of a few small cabins is obviously out of reach.

However, the construction progress of the castle was not as expected, and even if it was a temporary deadline, the celebration time was still delayed by a month.

This is Hudson's pot, which does not pay enough attention to the construction of castles on weekdays, and prioritizes labor to mines and land reclamation that can create wealth.

When it was time to use it, I found that the castle, which had been built for a year, had not even completed the main project.

It wasn't until Baron Redman arrived in the Mountain Lands that he persuaded Hudson to devote a large amount of labor to the construction of the castle.

In order to meet the deadline, Hudson even fooled Bear Stearns. The price paid is that in the planning of the lord's mansion, a bear fort must be built according to the will of the young bear.

In the past few years, all the construction has been based on local materials. The cost is mainly labor, but this part is mainly food, drink, and a small reward for the craftsman who presided over the project.

Overall, it's still negligible.

The main reason why Hudson agreed so happily is that Bear Stearns is a turtle bear who has never seen a big scene, and the so-called castle is a big hole with a bear's unique aesthetics.

Aesthetics and practicality aside, the key is to be cheap. A bunch of stones and wood, and you're done.

The decoration carving, which should have been the most costly, was directly ignored by Bear Stearns because of the different aesthetics.

His own bears don't care, and Hudson naturally won't add to it. The concise bear castle is very good, and you can continue to change it if you are not satisfied.

It's just that when the time comes, it's Bear Stearns' own business, and he doesn't need to pay for it.

……

Glancing in the direction of Dardier City, Hudson shook his head disdainfully.

At this time, the invitation came, isn't it obvious that it is a demonstration?

However, Baron Sith does now have the capital of Desser. After so many twists and turns, he finally defeated a group of competitors and picked the fruits of victory for the position of county guard, and it really needs to be celebrated.

In the world of aristocracy, everyone only looks at the result, and the process is not important.

Compared with the smug Sith Baron, the current Hudson is a proper loser.

Even if you get the position of viscount, it is the same. Compared with the actual lack of the county guard, Hudson's viscount is purely a name, and the substantive benefits are not seen at all.

"Call back to Viscount Sith, I will attend his celebration banquet on time!"
