When the dust settled, the farewell banquet was particularly lively. Crown Prince Caesar came to the Castle of the Blood Moon in person to practice for the nobles of the kingdom.

It can be seen that in order to pave the way for his son, Caesar III also tried his best.

It was customary for the celebration of the victory after the end of the war to be held in the royal palace, but this time it was changed directly on the border.

Nominally: to pay tribute to the officers and soldiers who died in battle. In fact, everyone knows very well that it is nothing more than to create more opportunities for Crown Prince Caesar to appear.

Feelings are always exchanged. The more contacts you have, the more you meet, the more like-minded friends you meet.

As the crown prince, as long as you want to win people's hearts, you don't have to worry about no one running to the past.

Frankly, Crown Prince Caesar's performance is actually not bad. Except for the last expedition to the Duchy of Moxi, which suffered a big loss, he has not done anything angry and resentful.

Even if you have an opinion about someone in your heart, you will be greeted with a warm smile on your face. Being able to "hide" your true thoughts is also a necessary element for a king.

Looking at Crown Prince Caesar, who was constantly shuttling through the crowd, Hudson tacitly gave up the stage and stepped aside in a low-key manner to let him perform.

It's a pity that with the admission of the five dukes of New Northland, the atmosphere quickly changed. Hudson, who was supposed to come out to play a round to ease the atmosphere, had long since disappeared from the venue.

The big nobles of the kingdom are also not a big deal to see the excitement, as if they are waiting for the two sides to clash.

A group of nobles who are close to the royal family can only do their part in a hurry. This is a test that belongs to Crown Prince Caesar alone, and the help of others will only get more and more helpful.

"Tolsten, Rodriguez, Angel, Pedro, Hiro haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

I don't know if it's intentional or coincidental, when Crown Prince Caesar called the five dukes of the Northland, he deliberately disrupted the order of their appearances.

They are in the same political group, and they also have internal rankings. Whose discourse is heavier and whose discourse is lighter can be seen from the simple order of appearance.

However, this tacit understanding is left by the previous generation. Now that the older generation of rulers has passed away, it is clear that the new generation has not yet adapted to the original rules of the game.

After all, the strength of the five major families in the Northland is comparable. The internal ranking is never fixed, basically whoever is in charge has more ability and prestige, and the more power in the alliance.

The seemingly inconspicuous title of Crown Prince Caesar is actually full of sowing discord. The only problem is that the means are too immature, and the purpose can be seen at a glance.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, we have been having a bad time these days!"

Duke Hiro replied angrily.

100% sincerely, their recent little days have been really hard.

The sudden death of the older generation, the internal problems were not arranged at all, and their heirs were all rushed to the shelves and forcibly pushed to the throne.

Internally, they can't convince the public, and their parents have left a lot of problems waiting for them to deal with; The external troubles were even greater, and the hostility of the nobles of the kingdom kept the five of them awake at night.

This kind of complicated situation has never happened in the history of the Northland aristocracy.

In the past, even if there was a change of power, there were no five families rushing together.

Even if something happens, it's just a turmoil, and you can rely on the help of allies to stabilize the situation.

This wave is all rushed together, and the allies who are huddled together to keep warm are all taking care of themselves at the moment.

Not only did the leaders of the five families run into trouble, but most of the small and medium-sized nobles who cling to them have also undergone a change of heirs.

After all, the boss is cold because of the resale of military supplies, how can the little brother who follows the boss be alone?

It's luck that you haven't been caught by the investigation team, and once you find out, wipe your neck yourself!

The entire power group has experienced serious internal turmoil, which is also the core reason why the nobles of the Northland did not jump out to snatch the spoils.

chose to appear in public after the dust settled, both to sell well to everyone, but also to sell miserably to everyone.

People always inevitably sympathize with the weak, and they are also members of the camp of the nobility, and the more pitiful and helpless the Northland nobles are now, the more they can arouse everyone's sympathy.

This kind of sympathy is worthless in the face of interests, but when it is not about self-interest, it is a different situation.

In order to make the image of "poor and helpless" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, now he does not hesitate to touch Crown Prince Caesar, deliberately creating a poor aristocratic character who is suppressed by the royal family.

"yes, that's terrible! But my brother Hiro, I believe that this little trouble will not bother you! ”

Crown Prince Caesar said with a sincere face.

Obviously, he also discovered the calculations of the nobles of the Northlands. simply accompanied the acting, and almost told everyone directly: they have a deep brotherly relationship.

……

Both sides were drama spirits, and the exciting meeting made Hudson roll his eyes.

I have to admit that the nobles are really precocious. Obviously only in his teens or twenties, he has the mentality of a fifty or sixty-year-old fox.

If you continue to grow up in this state, it is estimated that twenty years later, these guys will be old foxes in the political arena again.

As for now, the drama is too hard, and it has long been seen through by a group of old guys. It is estimated that among the younger generation, some of the politically incompetent will be fooled.

These are all minor problems, and as long as the nobles of the Northland are now nested in their own fiefdoms and do not do things, no one can help them.

No matter how turbulent the internal is, the strong military strength will eventually be there. Normal people will not be interested in their hard bones, and they will lose their political voice for a period of time in the future.

After today, Hudson's managerial position will be completed. Without the status of a boss, he is also an ordinary earl of the kingdom.

As a new nobleman, at a time like this, it is necessary to keep a low profile. If you are too active, you can easily be beaten by society.

Fortunately, this time the kingdom's cake was made bigger, and his rise only impacted the status of the Dalton family, and did not touch the interests of other big nobles in the kingdom, otherwise Hudson's small life would definitely not be so comfortable.

"We have witnessed the unity of the kingdom today, and in the days to come, we will work together to create a great Alpha Kingdom!

Now, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince Caesar, I would like to read out to you the list of heroes who have been involved in this war, as well as the change of titles and fiefdoms......"

Seeing the curtain come to an end, Hudson also appeared in the banquet center. All the rewards for battle exploits have been determined early, and even notices have been issued to everyone.

At this moment, Hudson is purely building momentum for Crown Prince Caesar, or in other words, he is repaying the king.

Greeting everyone's hot eyes, Crown Prince Caesar slowly walked to the small hall and read aloud: "With the joint efforts of everyone, after a lot of hardships, we have finally expelled the evil orcs.

In order to demonstrate the fairness and justice of the kingdom, and to distinguish rewards and punishments, the great Julian Caesar III decided to reward meritorious officials.

It was agreed that the first hero of this war was the commander of the army, Earl Hudson.

Expedition to the Duchy of Mossi to save allies from fire and water; He was ordered to quell the disaster of the people and save the safety of the southern provinces; The Northern Expedition Rescue Turns the Tide......

Now the Earl of Hudson is canonized as the Earl of Lyteshire, and the fiefs are Dardier City, Snow Moon City, Years Town, and Trenkos Town......"

"All incomprehensible political moves are priced behind the scenes."

—Hudson quotes

Fifty-six fiefs in a row were Hudson's rewards. Although the area is very small and the distribution is still somewhat scattered, it is better to win the fiefdom in the southeastern provinces where the land is fertile.

Simply counting the territorial area, the total area of the fifty-six fiefs is more than 7,000 square kilometers, which belongs to the younger brother among the counts in the kingdom.

But in terms of product resources, it is definitely not much worse.

Looking at the envious eyes of the nobles, you can see that Hudson's harvest is definitely rich. It is estimated that in addition to the royal family, his income this time can rank among the top three.

As for why it is not the most, it comes to the essence of the distribution of loot. In addition to the merits on the surface, one important factor must also be considered - strength.

The powerful nobles, as long as they are not too sluggish, can take a big cake, which is also a convention.

This time the spoils were divided, and the relative harmony that could be shown was mainly due to the fact that the nobles of the Northland were out.

Otherwise, according to the past practice, the nobles of the northern region alone would be able to take more than one-third of the cake, and it would be strange if the rest of the people didn't break their heads.

Looking at the final result, Hudson realized that there were ruthless characters among the nobles of the kingdom. The two families that benefited above him were from beginning to end: they did not show the mountains and did not show the water, and they made a fortune directly.

This time, Viscount Oran also got his wish and successfully became the earl of the fief, but the price paid behind the scenes was a bit big.

Hudson knew that in exchange for this canonization, the Holliser family gave up many of their fiefdoms in the southeastern provinces. In the process of public relations, there is more money and favors sprinkled out.

There is no way, if you don't pay now, even if you want to pay in the future, you won't have this opportunity.

There is no middle aristocrat who crosses the threshold without paying the price. As the only exception, Hudson's rise is completely informative.

One step at a time, after the accumulation of several generations, and then waiting for the opportunity to explode, is the most conventional operation.

Some people succeed, others fail. Not being able to go further is nothing, the worst thing is to watch the family go into decline.

Don't look at the fact that everyone can still sit together to eat, drink, and talk, these families who have been greatly damaged in the war will have little future prospects if they do not improve in the next few years.

The bondage of affection is time-limited. The greater the stakes, the weaker this binding force becomes.

He has a wide network of contacts, and he usually does a good job in dealing with people, and occasionally has relatives and friends who pull him up, and the process of decline is slower.

If the interpersonal relationship is bad and the world is full of enemies, then it will soon disappear from this world.

……

When the banquet was over, Hudson was still not idle. As the victors of this war, the Coslow family is undoubtedly one of the big winners.

In addition to Hudson, the leader of the family, who became the actual earl, there are also many branch children who stand out.

It's just that they didn't get their wish and stayed in the hinterland of the kingdom to enjoy peace, but were forced to go north to start a business.

It's not that Hudson is unwilling to help, it's that he's subject to the rules of the political game, and the benefits can't be taken over.

The children of other big families have all gone to Northern Xinjiang to start businesses, and the Coslow family is naturally no exception.

At this time, the benefits of prosperity are highlighted. More than 20 of Hudson's sons who followed Hudson all the way to the melee won knighthoods.

The only regret is that the rank of the knighthood is not high, and he has no right to speak in the northern Xinjiang region. Fortunately, you can huddle together to keep warm, so as not to be bullied.

Looking at the most outstanding children of the family in front of him, Hudson was endlessly sad. Fortunately, the talents who have been cultivated so hard are now running out to start their own businesses.

But he couldn't do anything to stop the future of his people. Although it is not easy to mix with starting a business outside, it is better because there are infinite possibilities.

Staying in the family is indeed comfortable and comfortable, but the development prospects are also limited.

When the children of a family covet comfort and pleasure, it is time for decline. Only by constantly forging ahead can we have a more brilliant future.

"Sit down, everybody!"

"You are all the elite of my Coslow family, and being able to stand out from the crowd is enough to prove your ability.

You have all received the canonization papers. From now on, you are the new nobles of the kingdom, and you must learn how to survive as nobles.

For the specific content, you have all been trained before. But what I want to tell you is: if you want to gain a foothold in the Northland, the content of the family training alone is not enough!

Strength, strength, strength!

In this world, what can really make us live is always strength.

Although the rules are important, the rules are also made by the strong. While you follow the rules and use the rules, you must always remember that there are no immutable rules in this world.

I'm leaving with my team tomorrow. Whether or not you can take root in the northern land in the next place is only you who can rely on yourself.

The roots of the family are too shallow, and the help that can be provided to you is very limited. As the head of the family, I can only personally sponsor each of you with 3,000 gold coins, as well as the weapons and equipment of 100 people.

How much help the other branches can provide you with is up to you to fight for the elders, and I will not interfere. ”

Hudson said earnestly.

It's also sad to think about it, the Coslow family's public account is actually empty. The industry is each branch of its own, and the family collective industry is directly 0.

As the new head of the family, there was no time to develop the family business, so that Hudson now had to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Fortunately, in this war, he made a windfall, otherwise he, the tragic head of the family, would not even be able to afford to sponsor the entrepreneurship of his clansmen.

"Master of the house, please rest assured! We won't let you down! ”

As soon as Evora's words fell, Hudson was a black line. Rest assured, he can rest assured that there are ghosts.

The others are just that, anyway, he is completely uneasy about Evola, the second brother-in-law.

Originally, Hudson wanted to keep him in the family, but the young people were full of fighting spirit, so they almost wrote "pretentious" on the door of their heads.

In order to be able to come out, Baron Redman personally wrote to be a lobbyist: asking for a chance to exercise Evora.

Fathers are always prone to high expectations for their children, especially after Hudson came to the fore, Baron Redman's requirements for his sons have also been raised a lot.

Maybe in his eyes as a father, he was born to a parent, and it is not much different if he thinks about it.

Anyway, there are many sons, and they can withstand the toss. Struggles within the kingdom rarely result in human deaths. There was a problem with the toss, and Hudson, who was the younger brother, was responsible for the aftermath.

In order to reduce the follow-up trouble, Hudson deliberately selected a fief for them that was indisputable. The only drawback is that it is remote.

Since it's a workout, it's not a big deal either. The left and right are the baronies, and there will be a chance to move the nest in the future.

Looking at the excited second brother Evora, Hudson couldn't help but want to laugh. Next, I greeted the care from my younger brother, and I don't know if he can be so happy.

"Very well, you have to keep up this fighting spirit!"
