After the turmoil of the establishment of another papacy, Caesar IV completed the canonization of nobility as quickly as possible, and then sent a group of lords home on the grounds that the construction of the Near East was "tight and the task was heavy".

In Hudson's view, this was a sign of sheer weakness.

With the nobles of the country on his back, he got a big cake from the hands of the Moxies, and it was not easy to deal with it when he was discovered.

The best choice is to send the lords back to the fiefdom first, and by the time everyone receives the news, the established facts have already been created.

The new realm is the queen's dowry, and although the area is a bit excessive, there is also a precedent for marrying a daughter and giving a fief to the continent of Aslanth.

The question is: Moxi's royal arrogance!

On the surface, this is a simple dowry, and there is no insider trading.

Under the system of monarchy-vassal relations, even if it is a joint-stock system, politically the king still has a heavier voice than the local lords.

As long as the king plays according to the rules of the game and is not caught, even if everyone has doubts in their hearts, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

Without the slightest delay, Hudson, after resigning from the military, handed over command to the Ministry of War as quickly as possible, and then returned directly to the territory.

The established strategic goals have been achieved, and there is really no need to stay in the royal capital to annoy people.

The proposal of the Protectorate of the Near East did not pass, but because of the lack of a core leadership in the Near Eastern provinces, military and political affairs were still managed by him, the front-line governor.

This escrow was not operated by Hudson, but was proposed by the small and medium-sized nobles below.

It's uncomfortable to be managed, but if no one is restrained from above, no one will care when the orcs come.

waited for the layers to report to the royal capital, and after going through a round of procedures, they couldn't even catch up with the collection of corpses.

Caesar IV hesitated, but the top brass of the kingdom expressed their support, and the king could not fight against everyone.

After all, the front-line defense needs someone to be in charge, and the six provincial governors are vacant, so the kingdom can't appoint airborne troops, right?

If you want to do that, you have to equip the governor with a guard. With the current situation in the Near East, a standing army is the most basic.

The six governors of the Airborne Forces will send six additional regiments over, and they will also arrange for the brigade masters to escort them.

The local nobility is not against it, but the kingdom's finances can't stand it!

According to the previous plan, the permanent army in the Near East was 200,000, and with the addition of 60,000, the kingdom could only expand its standing army.

After all, there is also a need for troops to stay in the country, and even if the western and southern fronts are not a big threat for the time being, one or two corps must be symbolically stationed there.

……

After ending the hard military life and returning to the territory, Hudson was refreshed.

After going out and coming back, my son was able to take small steps and walk around the lord's mansion.

Perhaps because of the blood connection, after being picked up by Hudson, the little guy didn't recognize life at all, and his eyes kept rolling curiously.

"Hudson, Duke of Snow Moon, can you give it up?

The Near East is too dangerous, and so many nobles in the kingdom avoid it, and you still ......."

Before she could finish complaining, Melissa's tears fell.

With children, the perspective of looking at problems inevitably changes.

In Melissa's opinion, the foundation of the mountain territory is already big enough, and there is no need to continue to go out and take risks.

Unlike before, the mountain collar has changed a lot at this moment. A large number of immigrants poured in, and the land prospered all at once.

Sitting on tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and ruling more than 1.5 million people, he is a big prince looking at the entire continent.

Even if the strength of the family dragged back, Hudson was also the number one nobleman in the entire kingdom.

"Someone whispered something in your ear!"

"Melissa, you should know that people can't help themselves in the nobility circle.

No one would have thought that the countries of the Central Continent would lose so simply and give up a large piece of land

Gave way to the alien.

The continental war is over, and the strategic situation that the kingdom is now facing is becoming more and more passive.

The development of the Near East became the only option for the kingdom's strategic breakthrough, which was not only an expansion, but also the key to gathering the confidence of the kingdom.

Just as the Moxies resisted pressure from all sides to forcibly annex the Warhammer Kingdom, we have no choice.

The more moments like this, the more we must take the initiative to let the people see the hope of defeating the alien race.

Once the Near East strategy fails, the entire northern continent is at risk of falling, and the mountain territories should not be left alone.

After all, it is better to take this step and take your destiny into your own hands than to passively accept it to others.

What's more, things aren't that bad. No matter how much the situation deteriorates, it will only be a loss of troops, and will the orcs still be able to leave me behind?"

Hudson said confidently.

The most important factor in daring to wade into the troubled waters of the Near East is personal safety.

Anyway, the development of the Near East does not mean that he will give up the mountain territory, and he will not bring a family roll or anything.

Not only did he not bring a family scroll, but even the nobles who were sealed in the Near East, he did not recommend bringing a family scroll.

At least until the Near East Line is built, there is no need to bring these burdens with you.

Without the shackles of the family roll, Hudson was free to play. When you are in a hurry, you abandon the city and run to the prairie to play a game of swapping with the orcs.

You don't need to target all orc tribes, just catch the orc royal tribe and beat them up.

The Beamon clan learned from the past, and Hudson didn't believe that the orc royal family was not afraid.

crippled a royal court, and it was another round of chaos.

Although the current orc prairie has not reached the point of bloodshed, the battle for the position of the royal family has begun.

The situation has developed to this point, and the five royal families are not able to do it together. The Beamon clan, whose strength has plummeted and the population has suffered heavy losses, is even having trouble controlling the vassal races under their command at this moment.

Many small and medium-sized Beamon tribes have quietly disappeared into the savannah because of various accidents.

If it weren't for Emperor Alex's quick enough reaction to announce his abdication of the royal throne in time, I'm afraid that this kind of "accident" would have become the norm.

The other four tribes also thought about Rabimon, but their own situation was not very good. The successive defeats on the battlefield still affected the foundation of the rule after all.

When the royal family does not overwhelm the strength of the other races, the royal family is no longer a royal family. At this moment, the various clans jumped out to compete for the position of the royal family, which was also deliberately done by the other four royal families.

Once the contradiction that has been forcibly suppressed by force no longer exists, it will be time for it to erupt.

If you don't take the opportunity to lead the various clans to fight among themselves and consume their strength, maybe the final spearhead will be directed at the entire orc royal family.

There is no doubt that the Alpha Kingdom, which is a good neighbor, also secretly helped them.

Smuggling caravans have become active on the border, providing various assistance to all parties involved in the infighting.

If it weren't for the fact that the racial differences were too great, and it was inconvenient for people to directly blend into the orc empire, and they could only rely on buying spies to operate, I am afraid that the infighting would have turned into a civil war long ago.

Everyone can see the problem, but everyone uses a yang scheme. The throne of the royal family is vacant, who can not be greedy?

The full involvement of the four royal families is indeed possible to calm the dispute, but it is also possible to push themselves into the endless abyss.

Don't provoke the ethnic infighting below, vent the resentment in your heart, and if you don't get it, people will unite to rebel against them.

For the sake of their own safety, the best choice is to add fuel to the fire, sit back and watch the infighting of the major races, decide a new royal family, and then everyone will continue to play the previous five royal families to govern together.

"I know you're powerful, but you have no eyes on the battlefield, in case of some accident, what will you do if you make us orphans and widows?"

Melissa said angrily.

No kidding, if there was no Hudson, the Coslow family would have been divided up in a few decades.

The legacy of prestige he left behind

Ze, at most, it will support more than ten years. When the army that followed him to the north and south grew old, everyone would not be polite.

"Don't worry, it won't be that day. What's more, I've prepared a backhand, and if I really encounter the worst situation, you'll be fine!"

Hudson said with a steady.

As if sensing something, Bear Stwins suddenly sprang out from behind, picked up the bear's paw and watched the show.

Immediately after that, a miniature version of Maxim also appeared in Hudson's sight, and waved his paw at him, as if to say:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your wife and children, as long as you keep the treasure."

The funny scene made Hudson's face turn blue in an instant.

The slap in the face came too quickly, and the ruffian dragon's loyalty was there, but the proportion of anti-bones was too high.

The situation of the unscrupulous bear is better, but he is also waiting for him to make a fool of himself, and looking at the shadow stones scattered around, he knows that Bear Stearns has collected the black material of Lord Hudson again.

……

"I've read all the documents, and everyone has done a good job in the past year. Although there were a series of problems, the overall performance was still acceptable.

I've written all the credit, and now the most important task is to draw up a plan for the development of the Near East.

By the way, when I was in the royal capital, I spent a lot of money to buy the royal family's royal domain in the southeastern province, Jacob, you can bring someone over to receive it."

Hudson said without changing his face.

Buying a territory, naturally, is impossible. The Alpha royal family is in its heyday, and it is not yet time to sell off its ancestral inheritance.

If it was the kind of rotten land in the Near East, if it cost a little more, maybe the royal family would be able to sell a few knights' collars.

The royal family of the southeastern provinces, which can generate a large amount of income every year, is a core asset used for family heirlooms, and it is definitely not something that can be bought with money.

If anyone believes it and runs to buy land from Caesar IV stupidly, he can definitely understand in person what the iron fist of the royal family is.

It's better to talk nonsense than to have no reason at all. For no reason, why did the royal family give him such a large amount of property?

This kind of thing can't stand up to verification. It's better to give a explanation sooner rather than to involve the royal family with the Moses when they find out.

Dare to get involved, and Hudson is ready to be exposed. Anyway, in the Near East strategy, he is playing an irreplaceable role, and even if everyone knows about it, they will only scold a few words angrily.

I don't know that deep down, one by one admires him and Caesar IV for being able to toss. Maybe in the next few years, when they teach their children, they will become "other people's children" together.

But it's also a leak, and that also requires skill. Since Caesar IV took the bigger cake, he should have attracted more firepower.

They were all their own people, and even if their hearts were full of doubts, everyone forcibly suppressed their curiosity.

When it comes to politics, the most important thing is to gather curiosity, and you must not know what you shouldn't know.

"Yes, Duke!"

Jacob replied immediately.

Everyone eats in the same pot, regardless of how this royal collar fell into the hands of their own master, it is a good thing for everyone present.

The stronger the territory, the brighter the future for those of them who are attached to Hudson.

Simply calculating the territory area, the mountain territory + the snow moon territory can catch up with a small principality.

The population is a little smaller, but Hudson has already invested in it. The current Hastelloy Warcraft ripening potion is a hard currency on the mainland, and even if it is a foreign race, it has a lot of fame.

If it weren't for Hudson's fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he deliberately controlled the shipment volume and further diluted the concentration, so that the effect was similar to the best ripening potion on the market, and he would have earned even more.

People are always more willing to believe in the problem of declining efficacy within their own cognition, and Hudson's official explanation is that they have run out of precious herbs and are now using substitutes.

This explanation was recognized by more than ninety percent of the alchemy masters on the mainland. are all people at the top of the pyramid, how can they admit that they are not as good as newcomers who have just emerged?

It must be a matter of herbs!

Even if it's for annual R&D funding, it's hard to fool. As for the Hastelloy Warcraft Ripening Elixir, it has long been deciphered by everyone, but it is just a tacit understanding to pretend to be a lake.

The masters of magic potions all know that the effect of Hastelloy potions comes from the easily absorbed ownerless energy, and everyone can't figure out how the amount is generated.

Purifying energy from magic crystals and then artificially infusing potions from the outside world is against the laws of magic.

One by one, they were led away from looking for energy sources, and it is said that some people spent a lot of money to get dragon dung and bear urine in order to do experiments......

Then the tragedy began, the effect of the Hastelloy medicine was not seen, and the side effects were not a lot at all.

……

For the sake of the Near East strategy, the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom were once again been

Forced to roll up.

Even if this time it was only the second son and the children of the collateral line, the actual investment of the major nobles was still not small.

High risk is often accompanied by high returns, so everyone can take risks, but invest one or two percent of the strength to try, or dare to gamble.

Much of this confidence stems from Hudson's record. Fighting orcs has never suffered a loss, as long as the fight is started, it is nothing more than a matter of how big it is to win.

Seeing Hudson taking more and more in the Near East, everyone thought that he was full of confidence, and one by one they also gave birth to the idea of what if he succeeded.

With the help of his staff, a group of nobles with no low political acumen realized that the Near East strategy might trigger a major reshuffle among the major factions in the kingdom.

If you just stand firm, then everything is business as usual, and there is not much impact on everyone. But if the Near East is developed, it will sound the clarion call for the kingdom's strategic counteroffensive.

If you succeed once, you may succeed a second time. Whoever seizes the opportunity will take the initiative in the future political game of the kingdom.

One by one, they said that they didn't care about the governor's position, but secretly they were gearing up, waiting for an opportunity to seize power.

The children of the big nobles took the lead in opening the book, directly confusing a group of small and medium-sized nobles. The asymmetry of poor information directly affects everyone's judgment.

According to everyone's past experience, if you don't know what is going on, just follow the great nobles to learn.

Even if it's wrong, it's everyone who makes a mistake together, which means that everyone hasn't made a mistake.

Small and medium-sized nobles who do not have enough fault tolerance, if they do not follow up in time, once they make a mistake in judgment, they are likely to be directly out.

As a new outbreak, the thriving Coslow family has been very lively recently.

This is the first generation of the family, and the relationship between relatives and friends in the past has not been broken because of the identity gap.

The visit to the door, the walk to continue to walk. Because of his special status, Hudson was often inconvenient to show up, but he still sent a representative to fulfill all the etiquette that should be in interpersonal communication.

When encountering this sudden situation, it is time for the network to come into play. In recent days, there has naturally been an endless stream of people who have come to inquire about the news.

"Father, they're not just here to get some news, are they?"

Hudson asked with a smile.

Without a knighthood, Redman lived a more leisurely life. A knighthood is both an honor and an obligation.

Compared with old friends who are running around for the family and children, Redman is completely idle. With Hudson in front of him, the brothers and sisters didn't need to worry about his old father.

Even the unlucky boy Evora who ran to the north became one of the lucky ones who escaped the orc soldiers because the fiefdom was too closed.

The other lords of Northern Xinjiang were busy with post-war reconstruction, so he leisurely drank tea and basked in the sun in the territory.

Of course, the drawbacks are also very obvious. The territory was too closed, the heralds got lost in the mountains and forests, and when the conscription order reached Baron Evora, the king's team withdrew.

I didn't fight a battle, and I couldn't rub my military exploits if I wanted to. Throughout the Continental War, Baron Evola ate melons in fear throughout the territory.

What Baron Evola thought, no one cared, and Redman was very satisfied anyway. If you can survive the orc invasion safely, it will be a proper treasure land.

The territory is closed a little, and it is closed. Anyway, it can be self-sufficient in the territory, and its dependence on the outside world is very low.

In line with the idea of making use of the residual heat, Redman's main job has become to talk to old friends and show off his "godson" by the way.

Hudson didn't know if anyone had been taken to the gutter, but the Coslow family maintained a very good network of relationships in the middle and lower classes.

Redman's nagging, in the eyes of many minor aristocrats, is the treatment that only treats them as "their own".

"In addition to inquiring about information, there are also people who come to buy weapons on credit, as well as borrow money and food.

Because the amount is not large, the most is only a few thousand gold coins, and they are all old people's love, so I will be straight

I took the lead and accepted it."

Redman said proudly.

Obviously, this wave of him has been in the limelight in front of his old friends again.

If it was left before Hudson's rise, he would never dare to promise a few thousand gold coins easily.

Now the situation is different, because of the special status, when everyone gives Hudson a gift, they will also bring him a copy.

Your own small treasury, you can solve it.
