The "shipwreck" incident broke out, and the servant army exploded in an instant. The approach of the Alpha Kingdom is really too unsophisticated.

It's just a matter of using them as cannon fodder, and similar methods often appear within the Orc Empire.

During the war years, vassal races would work part-time as cannon fodder.

Just do it yourself!

This is clearly not going to let the orcs live, and for a while, all kinds of rumors are flying.

Except for a few orcs with a tendon in their heads, who believed that the "shipwreck" was an accident, the rest of the orcs believed that it was a conspiracy of the Arfa people.

There is no point in being angry, the neighbors are all hostile races.

Ran to plot a tandem, maybe as soon as the front foot reached an agreement, the back foot was betrayed.

There is no confidence in frontal armed resistance, and some orc tribes who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Alpha Kingdom have chosen to flee from the "claws".

Running away with a family is obviously not a good choice. Not long after the migration, his whereabouts were revealed.

The garrison that received the news immediately ordered the other servant troops to go over and suppress it.

In just one month, more than 200,000 orcs lost their lives.

The stability gained by bloody repression is destined to be impossible to last long. However, Hudson does not need to worry about this problem.

With the completion of the new round of feuds, the servant army was also split and placed, and was managed by the fiefdom nobles in various places.

Different from the previous fiefdoms, this time the fiefs of the children of the great nobles are all in the most frontier.

Together, all the fiefdoms occupy half of the steppe, and the rest are reserved for the seven kingdoms of the steppe.

Judging from this alone, the kingdom is absolutely sincere and satisfied, and does not arbitrarily set aside a piece of land for perfunctory.

However, human desires are not satisfied.

The Seven Steppe Kingdoms, which have not yet been restored, are arguing at the Parliament of the Alliance because of the issue of territorial boundaries.

There are even unsightly proposals to restore the territory of the peak of the Seven Kingdoms.

The angry Count Predrague was furious on the spot and directly proposed to the Coalition Parliament, demanding that the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms be held accountable for losing their cities and lands.

The farce of forcing the palace collapsed in an instant.

Once this kind of thing is more serious, the princes and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland will not want to retreat.

The Seven Kingdoms existed for too short, and after the defeat of the war, the people scattered and fled, and there were no people to rely on.

Once the legal foundation is shaken, the restoration of the country becomes a dream.

The situation got out of control for a time, and finally came to an end with the mediation of several major powers.

After being severely beaten politically, the representatives of the seven countries of the steppe learned to be obedient.

All of them are fighting around the Borderlands, and the strife is confined to the Seven Kingdoms, and no one dares to target the Alpha Kingdom.

……

Since the fall of the Orc Empire, Caesar IV's prestige has been pushed to the top.

Although in this process, he has been in a state of power, and he has not done much, and it does not affect him to become a generation of heroes.

The conservatives did a good job in this regard, but they held power in a low-key manner and did not make a fuss.

In private, he did not give face to the king, but in public, he still respected Caesar IV.

Even within the kingdom, many people don't know that their own king has been hollowed out.

In the eyes of the outside world, the dispute between the king and the ministers is the way the Ming monarch and the virtuous minister get along.

Successive victories in foreign wars have stimulated the confidence of the people.

As early as the establishment of the Frankish Empire, the people followed the advocacy of the establishment of the Alpha Empire.

The bigwigs in the court are sober-minded, the Frankish Empire is indeed beautiful, but the family is built on the premise of a big war.

At that time, the alien races in the Northern Continent were powerful, and the Alpha Kingdom could not withstand capriciousness.

The people shouted a few times, and the matter passed slowly.

It wasn't until the fall of the Orc Empire that the call rose again.

Different from the previous advocacy, the international environment facing the kingdom at this time is much better, and its strength is much stronger than it was back then.

Emerald Palace.

"Prime Minister, what do you think of the rumors about the establishment of the Alpha Empire?"

Caesar IV asked tentatively.

A king who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good king.

The goal of any male lord is to build his own empire.

For Caesar IV, the creation of an empire had another benefit - a reduction in the influence of Alpha I.

After the establishment of the empire, if Alpha I wanted to ascend to the throne, he could not rely on restoration, but only by inheritance or usurpation.

The ancestors inherited the throne of the descendants below, and passing it on can make everyone laugh off their big teeth.

Even if the royal family loses people, the nobles in the country can't afford to lose it.

The difficulty of usurping the throne is even greater, and a group of "loyal ministers" jump out every minute to suppress the rebellion.

Under the vassal system of the kingdom, everyone only recognizes the monarch to whom they are loyal, and the monarch's ancestors have nothing to do with everyone.

None of the nobles who swore allegiance to him would allow usurpation to take place.

"Your Majesty, the kingdom has been established for more than three hundred and thirty years and has gone through countless vicissitudes.

We have always been on the front line of the confrontation between the Terrans and the aliens, and have made outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the Terrans.

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the kingdom finally has the glory it has today.

Compared to previous empires, the kingdom is not inferior in any way, and we have the foundation to upgrade to the Alpha Empire! ”

Duke Becket's answer did not satisfy Caesar IV.

Although he supported the establishment of an empire, he talked about the kingdom's contribution to the Terrans throughout the text, and never mentioned his exploits as a king.

It is clear that the conservative government also wants to build the empire, but does not want to hold him too high as a king.

The same is the establishment of an empire, the same is the ascension to the throne, and the two models represent completely different natures.

The merits of the empire built by everyone's joint efforts belong to everyone, and the government headed by the prime minister will take more than half.

In the history books, a lot of pen and ink must be used to describe it.

If it is because of the empire established by the king who is brave and wise, then the core becomes Caesar IV, and the rest are all supporting roles.

It's a matter of life and posthumous names, and there must be a fight.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right.

The kingdom has been developing very rapidly recently, and with the joint efforts of everyone, it has already established the foundation for the establishment of the Alpha Empire.

The international situation at this time is very favorable to us.

An armistice had just been signed, and the threat of alien races was minimized.

The Duchy of Moxi and the Three Kingdoms of the Middle Continent suffered heavy losses in the Continental War, and it was impossible to jump out and fight against the kingdom at this time.

Even if they are dissatisfied, as long as we exert a certain amount of diplomatic pressure, they can only choose to support.

The Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, which are about to be reestablished, have no choice.

If anyone dares to make a fuss and create a rebellion of the servants, they will be able to rationalize.

The remaining countries of the Southern Continent may indeed jump out against it, but they are too far away from the kingdom.

As long as some benefits are promised, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is sure to persuade most of the countries of the southern continent to remain neutral.

The embarrassing situation in which the Frankish Empire was founded will never be seen in the kingdom! ”

Count Herwin's strong statement was immediately highly appreciated by his courtiers.

This is the performance of a top power, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If you can't "convince people with reason", then "convince people with force".

The unanimous stance shown by the ministers made Caesar IV very helpless.

One by one, he never mentioned him as a king, and if it weren't for the fact that being the emperor would help consolidate the royal power, he would want to pick on his son and quit.

Of course, this is definitely angry talk.

No matter how much credit the ministers take away, it will not affect his posthumous name.

As long as he can justifiably ascend to the throne and not toss around blindly for the rest of his life, he will be the existence of an emperor through the ages in the entire history of the human race.

In the history of the kingdom, he was an outstanding monarch without precedent.

In the age of heroes judged by success or failure, no one cared whether he was a weak monarch or a strong monarch.

If you can develop the country well and prevent the people below from usurping the throne, you are a good monarch.

The right to speak in the court is not high, in other words: willing to give power!

"Look at it, I'm tired!"

Caesar IV said tiredly.

These old conservatives are too politically sensitive, and he is no opponent at all.

The road to power is far away, and the only feasible way at the moment is to survive them.

……

As soon as the positions of the court were unified, the conservative government set about pushing for it.

As the central figure of the kingdom, Hudson has returned to the realm since the new fiefdom was established.

Except for the nominal commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, all military and political affairs were completely pushed by him.

Times are different!

The advent of the armistice treaty forced Hudson to adjust his strategy.

In times of peace, it is a political disaster for the commander-in-chief who has made great achievements.

How high it was praised in the past, how much it is feared now.

In order to avoid suspicion, he ignored the invitations sent by the royal government and Caesar IV.

Including the kingdom's court councils, Hudson was also absent.

No matter how he tosses outside, he has already made up his mind to nest in the nest anyway, so as not to respond to all changes.

The effect was very obvious, and in Hudson's absence of appearance, the army was calm.

Maybe it was because of the jealousy of him, or maybe it was because he was busy dealing with post-war matters, and he didn't toss out of the moth anyway.

Of course, there are far more reasons for stability.

With the end of the Continental War, the military aristocracy has become the largest real power faction in the Alpha Kingdom.

Not only does he hold great power in the military, but he is also in full swing in the local area.

In particular, the thirty-six new provinces of the kingdom are all under the control of the military aristocratic faction.

If you want to play balance, you don't know who to check and balance.

If it can't be broken from the outside, it can only be broken down from the inside. It's very simple to do this, just wait.

Unlike other political factions, the military aristocracy faction has a wide range of sources and is not well organized.

The ability to get together is mainly due to Hudson's personal prestige and the comradeship accumulated by everyone fighting together.

Over time, these will slowly fade.

Once there is a conflict of interest, it is only a matter of time before there is a split within the military aristocracy.

To be precise, divergence has long since occurred.

The nobles from the same region have a relatively close relationship in private.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Hudson smiled slightly.

The development of the situation was completely expected by him.

Many people in the military aristocracy faction are no longer satisfied with the status quo and want to further expand their influence in the court.

In other countries, the military and the government are two lines, and it is not easy to cross the past.

But the Alpha Kingdom is different, the generals in the army directly enter the court to serve, which is the norm.

If Hudson is willing to enter the court, he can directly compete for the position of prime minister, and at worst he can get the position of secretary of war.

Of course, the consequences are also very serious, once that step is taken, the conservatives and the king, who were originally fighting endlessly, will join forces.

Caesar IV was able to accept the conservatives in charge of the government, because he was confident that he would survive the old guys, and the fall of power was only temporary.

With Hudson on top, it's different. Even if it's the grandson of his grandson's grandson, he can't survive it!

This is true for the king, but also for the major factions in the kingdom.

Including within the military aristocracy, everyone only hopes that Hudson will be the spiritual leader, rather than playing the game himself.

"Another boring temptation!"

"Tom, help me write back and tell them that I am in retreat.

If you want to catch up, come back to me in a hundred years! ”

Hearing Hudson's command, Tom was a little suspicious of his ears, a hundred years is too long.

If nothing else, a hundred years later, these guys will basically be in the ground.

"Yes, Duke!"

……

In his spare time, Hudson devoted more time to his son's education.

A huge territory always needs someone to manage it.

If you want to retire early, you can only let your sons go to the top.

Frankly speaking, the current Snow Moon Territory's territory is too large.

On the surface, there are only three provinces, but the real area is as high as more than 2 million square kilometers.

Half of them were canonized by the kingdom one after another, and the other half was gradually encroached upon by Hudson himself from the orcs.

The territory of their own country is large, and the territory of the Alpha Kingdom is even more vast.

The registered territory alone is as high as more than 16 million square kilometers, and the actual control area is definitely more than 20 million square kilometers.

Fifty percent of the territory is in the prairie, one percent of the territory is the legacy of the original Warhammer Kingdom, and half of the territory is in the ice and snow world.

The original 32 provinces on the mainland accounted for only a quarter of the total territory.

Looking at the entire continent of Aslanth, no one has a wider territory than the Alpha Kingdom.

But this behemoth is just fat at the moment.

Sitting on a vast territory, but without a matching population.

Taking Xueyue Ling as an example, there are less than 5 million people in the land area of more than 2 million square kilometers.

The so-called rule is limited to soldiers patrolling the border on a daily basis, and more often than not's land.

Watching his sons sweat and train as knights under the scorching sun, Hudson leisurely sipping tea under the gazebo.

"Hudson, it's been a lot of training time, why don't you let them rest first?"

Melissa said distressedly.

Since Hudson was idle, he changed his way to toss a few sons. The originally scheduled homework time has directly turned into extreme training.

"Don't worry, I'm measured.

Their talents are average, and they rely purely on resources, so it is difficult for them to become powerhouses in the Holy Domain.

If you want to cross this hurdle, you must constantly challenge your limits and cultivate the heart of a strong man.

Anyway, with me watching, nothing big can happen! ”

Hearing this explanation, Melissa rolled her eyes directly, obviously disagreeing with this statement.

On the Aslant Continent, there is no case of the birth of a Sacred Domain powerhouse in batches, and every Sacred Domain powerhouse is unique.

Relying on the resources of her family, her strength has grown rapidly in recent years.

But becoming a sanctuary is still out of reach.

Hudson was also helpless about this, Melissa was a salted fish, very satisfied with her current life, and she was not willing to work hard at all.

"Hudson, don't always stay at home, you have to be careful about the affairs of the court.

Your Majesty has invited you to attend next month's coronation, and you can't be absent any longer! ”

Not wanting to discuss how to become a sanctuary, Melissa immediately changed the subject.

"The outside world knows that I am in retreat, and I can just let Franz walk on my behalf.

When the time comes, I will ask Maxim to send him over, and His Majesty will not say anything! ”

Hudson said indifferently.

The best thing about being successful is that you can say no to things you don't want to do.
