The chaotic situation on the mainland is overwhelming. As if they had made an appointment, the various forces in the mess jumped out to do things together.

The Alpha Kingdom can be peaceful, it is because there is the big boss of the Orc Empire, which is about to be killed.

For the major forces of the Terrans, it is still necessary for the goalkeeper to exist.

Even the Holy See, which wants to do things, just wants to stir up strife and then make a profit.

No one is stupid enough to really want the Alpha Kingdom to be finished immediately.

Without this powerful goalkeeper, the orcs drove straight in to kill, which would threaten the hegemony of the Terran continent.

To the aliens, the Terrans are not a good thing, but they are even more hateful if they can't stand the orcs.

There are so many races in the Orc Empire, but they are not naturally gathered, but the result of the alliance formed by the five rogue races and fought everywhere.

The fact that human beings were able to seize the position of the overlord of the continent was largely due to the great slaughter of the orcs in all directions back then, which greatly damaged the vitality of many alien races.

Two dogs strive for a bone and a third runs away with it.

The human race is the one who picks up the cheap, and takes advantage of the unpreparedness of the orc boss, and unites all the races to give them a ruthless blow.

Changing the Terran as the master of the house, there is no change in essence. The only difference is that human beings have stronger political means and have learned to cover up and put on a show.

It doesn't seem to be as cruel as the orcs, and most of the time they like to do it secretly, and they like to whitewash the peace on the surface.

No matter how you can hide it, there will be a day when you will be a goof. Even if you don't react at the time, you will slowly reminisce later.

Without any surprises, it was soon the turn of the Terrans to become the public enemy of the mainland.

It's all for the better survival of the race, and there is no talk of justice or evil. Whichever side the ass sits on is the side of justice.

As a member of the Terrans, Hudson naturally did not complain about the alien race. The mainland hegemon is destined to have only one, and it will not be able to achieve power if it does not fight or win.

Putting down the information in his hand, Hudson gasped, and he admitted that he had gained knowledge again.

Regardless of the situation in the countries of the continent, it has nothing to do with him for a while anyway, the key is that the orc empire has begun to prepare for war.

That's all there is to him, but it's not surprising.

For the orcs, the southern invasion was as simple as eating and sleeping.

Almost all the higher races of orcs will participate in the southern invasion. It is incomplete without the beasts that invaded the south.

The problem lies in the fact that this arms build-up was first launched from the royal court of Beamon. The old Emperor Beamon didn't object this time.

On the surface, it was a compromise made to push Prince Alex to the throne and make a compromise with the main battle faction, but Hudson knew that this explanation was pure nonsense.

The best way for a prince who eats, drinks and has fun to succeed to the throne safely is to do nothing instead of running to start a war.

Emperor Beamon's age is not young, and he has long exceeded the normal Beamon period.

If in the middle of the war, Emperor Beamon suddenly kicked his foot away, what would Prince Alex rely on to stabilize the situation?

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

I don't know what Emperor Beamon wants to play this time, but the pace of war is approaching. An old man who is about to die of his life, if he goes crazy, no one knows what will happen.

In the face of this strange situation, it is inevitable that the kingdom will respond positively. Every time the orcs invade in full, it is a test for the Alpha Kingdom, and if you are not careful, the country will be ruined.

……

"You've all seen it. There must be something wrong behind Emperor Beamon's sudden transformation.

I don't know what it is, but once this orc invasion breaks out, it will definitely not be a small fight.

Although there are two more allies to share the pressure, once it becomes the main direction of attack of the orcs, the pressure that needs to be borne is still not small.

As the rear of the kingdom, once a war breaks out, we will not only provide money and food, but also send troops to participate in the war.

In case of a sudden outbreak of war, the task of sending troops to our southeastern province should be between 15~250,000.

Although these troops were not sent out all at once, the number of the first expeditionary force would not be less than 80,000.

If there is tension on the front line during wartime, it is also normal for the amount of conscription to be doubled.

After the last all-out war, after the rout of the front, the kingdom reached the most critical moment, but it was forced to implement the practice of three out of one.

Sending a serf who has just laid down his hoe to the battlefield is simply giving the enemy's head away. It's all about taking human lives and delaying the speed of the orcs' attacks.

We must not make the same mistake a second time!

I invite you here today in the hope that you will expand your armaments as much as possible and train as many elite troops as possible before the outbreak of the Great War.

Not only the standing army, but even ordinary serfs are now involved in military training. Be prepared for the worst.

His Majesty has secretly ordered that from now on, the kingdom will enter a state of all soldiers to meet this orc invasion with the strongest attitude.

After you go back, not only must you prepare for war with all your might, but also urge the lords below to expand their armaments.

I don't care how to implement the secret order, anyway, once the war breaks out, you all have to give me an army that can fight a tough battle.

This is a race war, and there is no possibility of conditionality. The continent of Aslant is governed by the law of the jungle, and losers are not qualified to live on this continent! ”

Earl Pierce's words made everyone's hearts tremble. Everyone's expressions became solemn.

All the soldiers?

What a crazy idea.

It seems that it is just a secret order of Caesar III, but in fact, it can be obtained here, which means that the major forces in the kingdom have already discussed it in advance.

It wasn't clear exactly what was going on, but Hudson knew it was a big deal. Obviously, it was these big forces that sensed the danger and made such a big move.

Regardless of whether this plan can be realized in the end. Just making this political gesture is very scary.

This means that if there is a major defeat on the front line, the Alpha Kingdom will really enter a state of national soldiers. Regardless of whether they can complete the training or not, the young and strong will be armed and sent to the battlefield.

After a moment's hesitation, Hudson finally didn't speak. Race wars are always the most brutal, either you die or I die.

Now that the situation on the mainland is turbulent, if the Great War breaks out and the Terran countries are stumped by all kinds of messy things, the situation may really deteriorate to that point.

It is better to prepare for the worst in advance and pull the serfs out for training than for the enemy to come to the door and prepare nothing.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the King's secret order, we will naturally carry it out. The problem, however, is that the cost of including the whole population in the training is not small.

Our families can basically afford this expense, and we gritted our teeth and survived.

The question is what to do with the minor nobles below?

Last year, we were hit by a locust plague, and everyone's grain reserves dropped a lot. Some small nobles who are not wealthy are afraid that it will be difficult to bear this burden. ”

Viscount Oran said worriedly.

As the first line of the invasion of the locust army, the loss of Arbor County directly ranked the highest in the province.

Not only was there no food in the fields, but even many wooden houses were eaten by locusts.

The granaries of some unlucky nobles were broken into by the army of locusts and directly looted a fine light.

As a good boss, it is natural to consider the younger brothers. It would be very hurtful to ignore the actual situation and carry out the order in a rigid manner.

It's just that Hudson found himself being connotated, and those present counted him as the poorest. "Basically can afford it", in other words: the Coslow family can't afford it.

But there are pros and cons to everything, so many people have to be trained, weapons and equipment are always indispensable, right?

The nobles are all human spirits, and when they see that the big nobles have begun to expand their armaments and wars, and they have been organized to train their troops on a large scale, and they are not aware of the danger, then there is no need to mix.

In times of crisis, it is natural to strengthen strength. No matter how inferior an iron weapon is, it is more lethal than holding a wooden stick.

Once the business is good, it will naturally be a source of money. When the time comes, he Hudson will also not be short of money.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Viscount Oran is right. The effects of last year's locust plague have not yet fully passed, and it is uncertain what the summer grain harvest will be for the time being.

Especially in some hard-hit counties, if you want to include serfs in training, food is the first big problem to be solved.

I think that His Majesty's order is not only for the southeastern provinces. When the time comes, all the provinces of the kingdom will be trained, and the increased food consumption will certainly not be a small number.

Domestic food prices are likely to be pushed up. Nobles who are not wealthy are afraid that it will be difficult to bear this expense.

In order to better fulfill His Majesty's order, I suggest that the Governor's Office purchase a batch of grain from overseas to stabilize the price of grain in the province. ”

Hudson followed suit.

As he spoke, he glanced at Viscount Cailliaud and signaled to hurry up.

Of the fifteen counties in the southeastern province, the two counties of Shulaite and Wyton are now the most economically difficult, and even the most severely affected arbor counties are in much better condition.

The price of food has skyrocketed, and the most serious damage is that the nobles of the Northland are not fake, but the local nobles are also uncomfortable.

Hudson himself, for example, procures a lot of grain every year. If you don't want to pay a high price, you have to owe favors.

When the boss can't stand it, the life of the younger brother below is even more difficult. Now that I encounter this kind of thing again, I have to fight for one or two for my younger brothers.

In fact, Hudson had long wanted to source food from overseas. Not only does it have no port, but it also doesn't have a fleet.

Most of the overseas trade in the southeastern provinces was in the hands of the Dalton family, and several other middle-class nobles also followed in to get a piece of the pie, but there was no Coslow family, who had just returned to the ranks of the middle aristocracy.

If you can't do it yourself, you can only hope for the Governor's Palace. Only when the price of grain in the province is stabilized will the mountain leaders have the opportunity to purchase and hoard in large quantities.

Perhaps sensing his hint, Viscount Cailliaud frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said stubbornly: "Your Excellency the Governor, Viscount Hudson's proposal is good.

Food security is paramount. Although there is no shortage of grain in my southeastern province, there are too few nobles who are willing to sell grain now.

In order to stabilize the price of grain, I propose that the Governor's Mansion provide a limited amount of grain at a low price on a county-by-county basis, and then all the people present will take it back and distribute it. ”

Frankly, Cailliaud didn't want to make that suggestion. If he didn't put things on the table and let the Dalton family control the grain trade, the benefits he could get would only be greater.

But there was no way, with his knowledge of his own uncle, in front of everyone, such a proposal conducive to the fulfillment of the king's secret decree, Earl Pierce could not refuse at all.

"Political correctness", this is the rule that the big guys must follow. Especially in times of need for unity, we must not do anything that undermines unity.

In this case, Viscount Cayo naturally wanted to show for himself. Wyton County was not completely controlled by him, and this batch of affordable grain was undoubtedly a powerful weapon to win people's hearts.

It is proposed that the supply of affordable grain be distributed to everyone present, and by the way, it can also be sold to everyone.

If you look at the order of position, you can know the status.

Even if it was the governor's nephew, he could only add to the bottom. Hudson, who is also a newcomer, was placed in the penultimate position.

This is definitely not a mistake by the official in charge of reception, but a comprehensive strength of everyone, and the final ranking given.

Since it is the embodiment of strength, the order of position can also reflect the level of discourse.

As the most vulnerable existence, if you want to gain a foothold in it, you can't go wrong by selling everyone first.

Maybe it was meant to be for Earl Pierce. Tell his uncle with practical actions that his Cayo's political wisdom is not low, and there is also the value of key cultivation.

After glancing at everyone, Earl Pierce said expressionlessly: "Well, I will arrange someone to implement this matter."

However, the price of food overseas is not clear for the time being. After adding the freight, the price of the grain shipped back may not be lower than the current market price, so you should be prepared in advance.

If you're short of food, there's still a shipment of fish at the port. The price is relatively cheaper, and you can send someone to buy it. ”

Fish, except for special species, most of the wild fish are difficult to reach in the southeastern provinces.

The market for marine fish is even smaller.

The aristocrats who could afford it were not interested in this thing. Serfs and civilians who are willing to eat these fish have no money in their pockets.

Except during wartime, when dried fish had to be stockpiled to serve as military rations, fish was not popular most of the time.

The main reason is that fresh fish is not convenient to transport, and it is simple to store dried fish salted, but the problem is that the price of salt is too expensive, which directly leads to the fact that all pickled products are not cheap.

For the Dalton family, who monopolized the salt trade, none of this was a problem. However, the dried fish produced, in addition to its own consumption, is still not easy to sell in the market.

Earl Pierce brought it up now, naturally, not to sell dried fish. It's just such a small amount of money, and it's not worth the princes on his side to worry about.

The real purpose is to warn everyone to be at ease. In the event of a food crisis, he, the boss, would lend a helping hand.

Even if they can't buy food overseas, the Dalton family has the ability to help solve everyone's food shortage.

"Fish" may also be "surplus".

"Relatively cheap", which clearly means that if you are safe, you can buy bargains; If you are restless, you will not be able to purchase supplies even if you have money.

It was almost a naked hint, and Hudson would be embarrassed to sit here if he couldn't hear the unspoken meaning.

I don't care about it so much, and now at this juncture, being able to buy enough food is the most important thing.

On the issue of price, he had long been prepared to be slaughtered. As long as prices don't soar to the sky, Hudson is ready to accept it.
