King

In the Emerald Palace, the seriously injured Caesar III appeared in front of people again after a month of recuperation. His face was rosy, and he didn't look like someone who had been seriously injured.

No one mentioned anything about the assassination. After the Orc Empire announced that it was responsible for this, the Alpha Kingdom official also directly attributed it to the Orcs.

The nobles suspected of participating were gradually released after a series of investigations because there was no concrete evidence.

Everything returned to normal, as if nothing happened, but the undercurrent became more and more turbulent.

No one thought that Caesar III would swallow his anger after such a big thing happened. The less there was an attack, the more panicked everyone felt.

Not to mention the nobles suspected of being involved, even the big shots in the court were extremely nervous, fearing that the fire would burn on their own heads.

There was a tense atmosphere, but Caesar III remained unmoved. The search for the real culprit has stalled and no one has been held accountable, including the officer on duty.

…

"Have you all read the battle report from the front line? The army is advancing at a very good speed. It seems that our Earl Hudson has worked hard this time."

Caesar III's half-smiling words immediately confused everyone. Are you satisfied with Hudson or dissatisfied?

Not understanding the king's true thoughts, no one dared to speak easily.

Everyone knew that Caesar III was simmering with anger and urgently needed a chance to vent, and no one wanted to touch this bad luck.

"Why don't you say anything? Are you not fighting well on the front line?"

Caesar III asked again.

Realizing that he could not escape, the Minister of Military Affairs, Archduke Efiero, replied anxiously: "Your Majesty, the battlefield is constantly changing. It would be great if Earl Hudson could think of using orcs to control orcs."

It's not that he has a good relationship with Hudson and wants to help speak up. In fact, as the Minister of Military Affairs, he must give a fair and objective evaluation in order to convince everyone.

Whether it is militarily or politically, it is in the interests of the Alpha Kingdom to use orcs to deal with orcs.

The only flaw is that this strategic plan came out too late. If it had been used earlier, it would have been a different story.

However, this is not a reason to criticize or accuse. Being able to come up with this kind of countermeasure and promote its use among the coalition forces in a timely manner is already very remarkable.

"Well, tell Earl Hudson and let him keep up the good work. We must teach the orcs a severe lesson in the shortest possible time!"

Caesar III's words immediately caused an uproar in the hearts of the crowd. Every word spoken by the monarch is inevitably subject to political interpretation.

Just a "lesson", not total annihilation. Obviously Caesar III has shaken his determination to destroy the Orc Empire.

In the past, when encountering such important matters that determined the future destiny of the kingdom, he would discuss it with everyone first, but now he acted arbitrarily.

The sequelae caused by the assassination finally began to ferment. No matter how he acted on the surface, Caesar III still had a thorn in his heart.

Maybe not for everyone, but for the nobles suspected of being involved, Caesar III definitely lost trust.

…

The changes in the court directly affected the front line. In recent days, Hudson has clearly felt something strange in the military.

Relying on the prestige accumulated during this period, he could only barely ensure that each unit completed its tasks on time, and more was beyond his capabilities.

…

"Your Majesty the Viscount, has the struggle in the royal capital begun so soon?"

The Koslow family's intelligence network has just begun and has not yet penetrated into the court. To understand the situation in the royal capital, Hudson had to rely on his father-in-law.

This is also an equal exchange. The Holliser family provided him with information, and Hudson also used his authority to provide convenience for them.

“We haven’t broken the skin yet, but judging from the current situation, it will break out soon.

So early in advance, in addition to the previous assassination, the more important thing is that the benefits gained by the kingdom in this war are too great.

The new northern defense line was built by you. You should know how much land the kingdom has gained this time.

Now as long as we severely injure the orcs, we can reap these benefits.

All the nobles in the country are gearing up to get a piece of the pie. Next, a battle between dragons and tigers is inevitable! "

Viscount Oran said helplessly.

Under the general trend, the Holliser family is fragile. He originally wanted to use this war to rise again, and he even had a good idea of ​​the direction of development.

Unfortunately, something went wrong at the last minute. In the breakout battle, the kingdom's standing army suffered heavy losses, and the Hollister family's strength in the army naturally suffered heavy losses.

Originally, this was nothing. All the great nobles suffered losses together, which was equivalent to no one being harmed.

However, the family's private army that he had worked so hard to build was also brought into the gutter by Count Pierce's scammer, and the entire army was almost destroyed.

Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Hudson with envy. People with great luck are different. Others suffer heavy losses in wars, but the Koslow family becomes stronger as they fight.

The Koslow family, which was originally at the bottom of the middle-class nobility, under the leadership of Hudson, directly entered the ranks of the great nobility.

Fortunately, he was his son-in-law, otherwise he doubted whether he would be so jealous that he would doubt his life.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Viscount, no matter how much trouble they make, we will have our share. It's just a matter of getting the size of the cake.

With the background of the Hollister family and this harvest, it shouldn't be a big problem to return to the ranks of the great nobles. "

Hudson spoke to comfort him.

As their most important ally now, the Holliser family must be stabilized. Otherwise, even after entering the circle of great nobles, there would not even be a single person to guide the way.

The storm is coming!

Hudson made a decisive decision to execute the order from the king selectively.

It is necessary to attack the orcs, but the prerequisite is to preserve your strength first. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he can only continue to win without any major defeats.

Hudson has done everything he can. Not only did he become famous within the kingdom, but he also gained a lot of popularity when looking at the entire Human Alliance.

Perhaps countless years later, he may be deified and become one of the rare epic heroes in human history.

"I hope so! After all, the Hollister family's military merit is still lacking. Even if they activate all their connections and compare with their competitors, they still have no obvious advantage.

Hudson, let's see if we can create an opportunity later and let us go..."

In poor condition, short and weak. Try to make it up tomorrow
