333: Chapter 18, Unlucky Guy_3 333: Chapter 18, Unlucky Guy_3 “Your Excellency Governor, according to the kingdom’s regulations, gathering troops will not be a problem.
But the military obligations transferred by the Koslow Family must also be included in this.
During the course of the military expedition, the kingdom’s considerable draft tasks cannot involve Layton County any longer.
Considering practical issues, all nobles are leading their forces into battle, leaving no one behind to oversee the general situation.
The monthly logistics delivery tasks now require the Governor’s Mansion to arrange a replacement.
As for the adjustments needed for the later frontline supplies, these must wait until we return for discussion.
Until then, the duties of Layton County can only be reduced, not increased.
During the military expedition, the safety issues of the county also need to be taken into account, and we cannot give cult organizations any chance to exploit this.
Regarding the specific matters within the county, it is best to wait until we return.
We can then sit down together to slowly discuss.”
Hudson laid out his conditions clearly and unhesitatingly.
Despite having been dealt an unlucky hand by Viscount West, he couldn’t just march off to war without clarification.
In essence, this time, Layton County is still representing the Southeastern Province for the expedition.
Some essential rights and benefits still need to be fought for.
“Viscount Hudson, please rest assured.
These are the rightful obligations.
During the military campaign, any trouble encountered by Layton County will not be ignored by the Governor’s Mansion.
All those present can supervise.
If the Governor’s Mansion has any issues, everyone can impeach them to the Capital.”
Earl Piers assured with a grin.
Helping stabilize the rear is necessary.
How else can they convince the noble lords to lead their troops confidently into battle?
Anyone causing trouble during the military campaign will face the harshest crackdown from the kingdom.
Even the Major Nobles would not dare risk it.
When the blow comes in such matters, the charges set are: collusion with Orcs, betraying the Human Race, intending to disrupt the rear of the kingdom.
Not only would it be impossible to get on in the Alpha Kingdom with such charges, but it would also be impossible to survive in the entire Human World.
It’s not that the kingdom is making a fuss about it, but that it has happened in history, once causing severe losses to the Alpha Kingdom.
Everyone learned from the past.
Whether they have been bribed by the Orcs or not is hard to determine, so they simply cut straight to the chase, placing the major charge of betraying the Human Race on any troublemakers.
With such a charge, they are directly subjected to the Human Alliance’s chase and kill package.
In all the human nations, they will be regarded as the top fugitives.
Strict to the point of almost being absurd punishment, establishes rules for the Kingdom Aristocrats.
Thus everyone can confidently lead troops into battle.
The big shots have major businesses, unwilling to risk their lives to test the law.
However, would the small characters responsible for execution seize the opportunity to fish in troubled waters?
That’s hard to say.
Hudson mentioned it here, seemingly making a big deal out of a small matter.
But in fact, he did so to draw everyone’s attention.
As long as the big shots show a hint of interest, the executors below will be exceptionally well-behaved.
Viscount West, who was ignored and just watched as Hudson easily determined the result, angrily said,
“Since you don’t need me and can solve everything yourselves.
My presence as Prefectural Governor is an eyesore here, I might as well suggest to the kingdom to remove me!”
He seemed to be merely piqued, but in fact, he was acting out of desperation.
The imminent expedition to the Moxi Duchy was at hand, and West did not want his life to be cut short prematurely.
Under the title of Prefectural Governor, he not only has no command of the troops but also obliged to be under Hudson’s command.
Blocking the path of others and then fighting under their command.
If no accident happens to him on the battlefield, that would indeed be a big problem.
In the past, Viscount West did not need to worry because he had a Grand Duke father, and nobody dared to harm him.
But the current situation is different.
From the outbreak of the war until now, the Nobles of the North have received a large amount of supplies supported by the Nobles of the South.
After receiving the benefits from others, facing the logistical mother who provides money, food, and materials, the Northern Nobles can’t help but yield.
The various nobles of the Southeastern Province dare to act like this now, clearly indicating that the deterrent power of his Grand Duke father is no longer sufficient to make everyone continue to give him face.
If he does not take advantage of the little influence his father still has and tries to step down from the hot Prefectural Governor position, he might end up being killed on the battlefield anytime unexpectedly.
Glaring fiercely at Viscount West, Governor Piers responded irritably, “Good, Very good!
Since Viscount West feels that his abilities are limited and he is unable to fulfill the position of Prefectural Governor, then submit your resignation letter!”
Wanting to drive away the Nobles of the North is true, but according to Earl Piers’ plan, it’s not the right time now.
If Viscount West resigns, Hudson would undoubtedly be the successor.
From the perspective of the Dalton Family, the best choice would be for the two of them to continue dragging each other down.
If it weren’t for the outbreak of war and no time to incite infighting, Piers would have long been fanning the flames between the two, letting them continue to fight.
As for Viscount West’s resignation letter, it is impossible to approve.
For his own interests, Earl Piers would not let this resignation letter appear before the king.
From the standpoint of Dalton Family, West’s best ending would be to die on the battlefield.
Then they can follow the flow of the situation, behind-the-scenes stoking fires, and let the Koslow clan create blood feuds with Grand Duke Cavadia.
Everything is a calamity caused by interest.
Who made Hudson’s rise too fast, causing fear in Dalton Family?
Under the pressure of war, Earl Piers is not convenient to do anything.
But, subtly guiding the situation to develop and waiting to ignite the powder keg after the war, creating a few enemies for Hudson, is still feasible.
Help on one side, stab with a knife on the other.
In the Noble World, it’s just too normal.
Hudson, who vaguely sensed the conspiracy, secretly shook his head.
Anything, once over-calculated, will be the time for backlash.
Visibly quitting under everyone’s watch, seemingly out of anger, was also because West sensed the danger and sent a political signal of reconciliation to him.
By a twist of fate, he drew a lot of trouble, making all the nobles of the county carry out a duty of nine deaths and one life.
This account, even if not mentioned verbally, everyone will definitely remember it for West in their hearts.
Offending so many people all at once, being on the battlefield, is extremely dangerous indeed.
