"Let’s handle the new territory like this!
The governnt should swiftly complete the provincial and county divisions, and then issue an announcent inviting the kingdom’s aspirants to initiate the expansion.
Next, let’s discuss the issue of the Earth Core World.
Everyone knows that the Royal Family has an Earth Core Entrance, and to strengthen the kingdom’s power, I have decided to bring it out for all parties to participate in the developnt!"
As Caesar IV finished speaking, except for Hudson, who appeared slightly surprised, everyone else remained unperturbed, clearly inford beforehand.
This is the greatest downside of being away from the Capital; much news lags behind.
If he were in the Capital, such matters couldn’t have escaped Hudson’s notice; he should have received the news even during the Royal Family’s internal discussions.
After a brief mont of distraction, Hudson quickly regained his senses.
The Royal Family’s sudden offering of the Earth Core World entrance led Hudson to believe that Caesar IV wasn’t acting out of pure selflessness. If that were the case, there was no need to monopolize it earlier.
Spitting back the at after swallowing it can only be explained by being choked!
Although Hudson wasn’t clear about the specific situation of the Earth Core World, he could make rough judgnts based on the invading Earth Core race.
The Royal Family’s eradication of the Earth Core races entering the surface world doesn’t an the corresponding underground world has been cleared.
While the Royal Family was pressing their enemies on the surface, if they entered the Earth Core World, things might turn around unfavorably.
Humans unaccustod to surviving in the Earth Core World, barging into unfamiliar territory, would be lucky to retain four or five tenths of their combat power.
The Royal Family’s current generosity is most likely a choice compelled by their failed attempts to develop the Earth Core World.
Having sorted out his thoughts, Hudson simply smiled without speaking, quietly watching the ministers sing praises to the King.
Resources in the Earth Core World are extrely important, but that is a matter for the future; it is difficult to see results in the short term.
In Hudson’s eyes, developing resources in the Earth Core World is no easier than exterminating the Orc Empire.
Not only does it require a massive investnt of manpower, materials, and financial resources, but it also entails enduring significant personnel casualties and huge economic losses upfront.
Just penetrating the Earth Core World to clear the residual Earth Core races is a major challenge.
If it were peaceful tis, with the Royal Family’s political and military might, developnt could proceed slowly.
That is definitely not possible now!
If substantial forces are committed to the Earth Core World and suffer heavy losses, the Royal Family would face danger in the future turbulent world.
"Marshal, do you have any good suggestions?"
Seeing Hudson unmoved, Caesar IV suddenly inquired.
"Your Majesty, developing the Earth Core World may require a long-term strategy!
Besides the lack of understanding of the Earth Core World, the biggest problem is that ordinary people find it hard to adapt to a completely dark environnt.
Sending a large army recklessly might lead to a collapse in morale before even finding the enemy.
If developing the Earth Core World, the Kingdom Governnt shouldn’t act imdiately; the best option is to let rcenaries pave the way first.
In the complex Earth Core World, rcenaries with wild origins have survival abilities far superior to the regular army."
Hudson advised tactfully.
Being self-aware is important; commanding troops on the surface, he feels no fear.
But going to war in the Earth Core World is out of the question.
If unintentionally caught in a dangerous place, leading to heavy army losses, his lifeti reputation would be ruined.
Losing reputation isn’t significant, but the worst is losing his life as well.
"Rest assured, Marshal, such matters cannot be rushed, and we won’t proceed blindly!
The Earth Core race is not weak, and those invading the continent are just part of it; probing must be the priority in the initial stages of entering the Earth Core World."
Caesar IV explained sowhat helplessly.
He didn’t wish to be cautious, but the Royal Family has already paid the price for being impulsive.
Having dispatched three waves of forces, all with no return. If not for the two survivors from the fourth exploration team escaping, he would have thought the Earth Core World to be a death trap.
With the limited information on hand, he quickly concluded: the Earth Core World is not easy to develop!
If my family cannot handle it, of course, we look for allies.
Anyway, the entrance is on the Royal Family’s territory; once developed successfully, they’ll surely claim a major portion of the Earth Core World’s resources.
Yet Hudson’s indifference still troubled Caesar IV.
As the military chief, Hudson’s stance influences many. If a few Major Nobles echo him, pushing the plan forward becos difficult.
Although the mineral resources of the Earth Core World are plentiful, the risks are proportional to the rewards, and everyone must weigh the pros and cons.
After listening to his King’s explanation, the emotionally adept Hudson chose simply to smile without speaking.
Having provided the risk warning, how everyone decides afterward is none of his concern.
He is also interested in Earth Core World’s resources, but with an entrance right at his doorstep, there is no need to use the Royal Family’s entrance.
Although the Cursed Land’s entrance is currently held by the Dark elves, retrieving it is only a matter of ti.
Presently trading with the Dark elves is actually a ans of infiltration.
Once the kingdom annihilates the Orcs, if the Dark elves, with no other choice, don’t wish for extermination, they can only accept his goodwill.
With the Pathfinder Party’s cooperation, advancing into the Earth Core World becos significantly easier.
Nevertheless, Hudson was very appreciative of Caesar IV’s approach.
