King-Chapter 1079 - 155, Roll Up_4

Seeing Hudson taking more and more in the Near East Region, everyone thought he was full of confidence, and they also entertained the thought of success.

With aides helping analyze, the Major Nobles with sharp political acumen, began to realize that the Near East strategy might trigger a major reshuffle among the various factions in the Kingdom.

If it was just about securing a foothold, then everything could remain as usual without much impact on everyone. But if the Near East were developed, it would sound the horn of a major strategic counter-offensive for the Kingdom.

Once successful, there could be a second success. Whoever seized the initiative would dominate the political game in the future of the Kingdom.

Verbally, everyone denied coveting the Governor’s position, but secretly, they all were gearing up, waiting for a chance to seize power.

Noble Children of Major Nobles took the lead, completely confounding a host of minor Nobles. The asymmetry of information directly affected everyone’s judgment.

Based on past experiences, without knowing what exactly happened, it was right to follow the Major Nobles’ lead.

Even if it was wrong, it meant everyone was wrong together, which essentially meant no one was wrong.

Minor Nobles lacking enough margin for error had to catch up in time, or they might be directly eliminated from the game upon misjudgment.

As a newly flourishing and populous Clan, the Koslow Family was lately quite lively.

This was their first generation of wealth accumulation, and their relationships with relatives and friends had not yet been severed due to differences in status.

Those who should visit did so, and those who should move around continued to do so. Hudson, because of his special status, often couldn’t appear in person, but still, all necessary social rites were performed by representatives.

In these sudden circumstances, it was time for connections to play their role. Lately, those coming to seek information were naturally endless.

"Father, they’re not just here to gather information, are they?"

Hudson asked with a chuckle.

No longer holding a title, Redman was living even more freely. A title was both an honor and a duty.

Compared to old friends who hustled everywhere for their families and children, Redman was completely at leisure. With Hudson taking the lead, siblings did not need this old father to worry for them.

Even Evola, the unfortunate child who ran to the Northern Border, became one of the few lucky ones who escaped the Orcs’ blade due to his particularly isolated fief.

Other Lords of the Northern Territory were busy with post-war reconstruction, but he leisurely drank tea and basked in the sun in his territory.

Of course, the drawback was very obvious. The territory was too closed off, and Messenger Soldiers got lost in the forests. By the time the draft orders reached Baron Evola’s hands, the Kingdom’s Army had already withdrawn.

A battle not fought, he couldn’t even exploit the situation to gain military merits. Throughout the continent’s war period, Baron Evola was on tenterhooks, just spectating from within his territory.

How Baron Evola felt wasn’t anyone’s concern, but Redman was very pleased. Being able to safely get through the Orc invasion meant it was definitely a valuable land.

If the territory was a bit isolated, then let it be isolated. After all, the territory could be self-sufficient, with very low dependency on the outside world.

Acting on the idea of utilizing residual heat, Redman’s main job became catching up and boasting about his "successful parenting" with old friends.

Whether anyone was led astray, Hudson wasn’t sure, but the Koslow Family maintained their network among the lower classes very well.

For many minor Nobles, Redman’s catching up seemed like the treatment of "one of their own".

"Besides gathering information, others also came to purchase weapons on credit, as well as to borrow money and grain.

Since the amounts were small, at most a few 1000 Gold Coins, and it was all old acquaintance’s sake, I agreed directly."

Redman said, brimming with satisfaction.

Clearly, he had excelled among old friends again.

Had this been before Hudson’s rise, he certainly wouldn’t risk promising thousands of Gold Coins lightly.

Now the situation was different, due to the special status, when everyone gave gifts to Hudson, they would also include something for him.

His personal treasury could handle it.
