The King

  Chapter 301 No fault is merit

  Jade Palace, Caesar III, who was seriously injured, reappeared in front of people after a month of recuperation. His face was rosy, and he didn't look like someone who had been seriously injured at all.

  No one mentioned anything about the assassination case. After the Orc Empire declared that it was responsible for this, the Alpha Kingdom officials also directly identified it as the orc.

  The nobles who were suspected of participating were released one after another after a series of investigations because there was no real 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 more there is no attack, the more panicked everyone is.

   Not to mention the nobles who were suspected of participating, even the big shots in the court were nervous, lest this fire would burn on their own heads.

   Tension filled the air, but Caesar III remained unmoved. The search for the real culprit has come to a halt, and no one has been held accountable, including the officer in charge.

  …

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

   Caesar III's half-smiley words confused everyone. Is this satisfied with Hudson or not?

  Thinking that they didn't understand the king's true thoughts, everyone dared not answer 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 talk anymore, isn't the frontline fighting well?"

  Caesar III asked again.

   Realizing that he couldn't escape, the Minister of Military Affairs, Grand Duke Alfiero, replied anxiously: "Your Majesty, the battlefield is volatile. It is naturally excellent that Earl Hudson can think of using orcs to control orcs."

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

   Whether it is military or political, using orcs to deal with orcs is in the interests of the Alpha Kingdom.

  The only flaw lies in this strategic plan, which came out too late. If it was used earlier, it would be another scene.

  However, this is not a reason to criticize and accuse. It is already very remarkable to be able to come up with such a countermeasure and promote it in time among the coalition forces.

   "Well, tell Earl Hudson to make persistent efforts. Be sure to teach the orcs a hard lesson in the shortest possible time!"

  The words of Caesar III immediately caused an uproar in Qun's mind. Every word of the monarch is inevitably subject to political interpretation.

   Just a "lesson", not total destruction. Obviously Caesar III has shaken his determination to destroy the orc empire.

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

   The sequelae of the assassination finally began to ferment. No matter how he acted on the surface, Caesar III was still pierced with a thorn in his heart.

   Maybe not for everyone, but for the nobles suspected of participating, Caesar III must have lost trust.

  …

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

   Relying on the prestige accumulated during this period, he can only barely ensure that the troops complete the tasks on time, and more of them have exceeded his ability.

  …

   "Your Excellency, has the struggle for the royal capital started so soon?"

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

   This is also an equivalent exchange. The Hollisle family provided him with information, and Hudson also used his power to provide them with convenience.

   "It hasn't broken the skin yet, but judging from the current situation, the outbreak is coming soon.

  In advance so early, in addition to the previous assassination, the more important thing is that in this war, the kingdom has gained too much benefit.

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

   Now as long as the orcs are seriously injured, this part of the benefits can be eaten by us.

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

   Viscount Oran said helplessly.

  Under the general situation, the Holliser family is vulnerable. Originally thinking of using this war to re-emerge, he even decided on the direction of development.

  Unfortunately something went wrong at the last minute. During the breakout battle, the kingdom's standing army suffered heavy losses, and the strength of the Holliser family in the army was naturally also severely damaged.

   Originally, this was nothing. All the great nobles lost together, which means that no one was injured.

   However, the family private army he worked so hard to build was also brought into the gutter by Earl Pierce, and the entire army was almost wiped out.

  Every time he thinks of this, he can't help but look at Hudson enviously. People with great luck are different. Others have suffered heavy losses in wars, but the Koslow family has become stronger and stronger in the war.

   Originally, the Koslow family, which was at the bottom of the middle-class nobles, directly stepped into the ranks of the great nobles under the leadership of Hudson.

  Fortunately, he is his own son-in-law, otherwise he very much doubts whether he will be jealous enough to doubt life.

   "Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter how much trouble they make, they will have our share, it's just a matter of the size of the cake.

  With the background of the Holliser family and the harvest this time, it should not be a big problem to return to the ranks of the great nobles. "

   Hudson comforted him.

  As the most important ally of the family now, the Holliser family must be stabilized. Otherwise, even after entering the circle of great nobles, there is not even a guide.

  Mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings!

   Regarding the order from the king, Hudson made a decisive decision-selective execution.

   It is necessary to fight the orcs, but the prerequisite is to preserve strength first. As the commander-in-chief of the army, now he can only continue to win and cannot have any major defeats.

  What Hudson can do, he has already done it. Not only has it become famous within the kingdom, but it has gained a lot of popularity even if it looks at the entire Human Race Alliance.

   Perhaps after countless years, he may also be deified and become one of the few epic heroes in the history of the human race.

   "I hope! The military achievements of the Holliser family are still lacking. Even if all the connections are mobilized, there is no obvious advantage compared to the competitors.

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

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