The ability to kill part of the enemy’s active forces will reduce the kingdom’s pressure in the future decisive battle.
Compared to the outside world’s optimism, Hudson, the instigator, was not as optimistic.
The military challenges can be solved, but the key is that both the Alpha Kingdom and the Orc Empire are major powers on the Continent of Aslante, holding significant weight in the two great alliances.
The war between the two countries will inevitably escalate into a ga between the two alliances.
The outco of the war will directly affect the future direction of the continent’s situation.
Under such circumstances, to destroy the Orc Empire, the Alien Coalition must be involved.
Without bringing in other Human Kingdoms, no matter how well-prepared the kingdom is alone, it does not have the ability to annex the Orc Empire.
Of course, these are things Hudson would never say publicly.
If everyone believes they can destroy the Orc Empire in one fell swoop, let them continue to think so.
With the confidence of victory, people are willing to invest heavily.
An efficient kingdom is reflected in various aspects, with internal task allocation having just begun, and the issue of cooperation already on the agenda.
Not long after returning to his territory, Hudson’s Manor House beca lively, with people lining up to et him every day.
At first, he thought these people were insightful and had noticed the well-established infrastructure of the Snow Moon Territory. But after contact, he realized he was overthinking.
They hadn’t understood the actual situation at all; their choice to cooperate with the Snow Moon Territory was purely based on his reputation.
The major nobles have enough resources to support their children while still having additional capacity.
The small and dium nobles purely seek to ride coattails, their past experiences telling them they’re unlikely to suffer while following Marshal Hudson.
Fortunately, Hudson’s will was strong enough to reject the proposal of sending serfs to pioneer together, accepting only the manufacturing industry.
Otherwise, if all the people were absorbed by Snow Moon Territory, the small and dium nobles without connections wouldn’t even get a sip of soup.
Securing the most important industries is enough; trying to swallow everything will make oneself a target.
In the noble world, no matter how good the relationship, once core interests are involved, they turn hostile imdiately.
...
"Hudson, what have you done this ti? Why is there so much attention on Franz?"
Hearing lissa’s complaint, Hudson was montarily bewildered.
Focusing on his eldest son is clearly courting death; how could there be so many seeking death in the kingdom?
The question didn’t linger long as lissa’s sudden chuckle made him realize.
There is a fundantal difference between "focusing on" and "focusing on."
If there were malicious intent, lissa, as a mother, wouldn’t be laughing.
If it’s not hostility, then it must be about Franz’s marriage.
Marriage alliances between nobles have always been better early than late.
Soone like Franz, born with a silver spoon, has caught the attention of many from the mont he was born.
As Hudson’s status continued to rise, the rank of nobles interested in Franz’s marriage also increased.
Now it is the Holy Calendar Year 100001, and Franz is ten years old.
Being young to discuss marriage for noble children, but his status and position make any delay risky.
Without confird news, it’s inconvenient for everyone to contact Hudson directly, making lissa the focus of public relations.
After all, in a son’s marriage, the mother’s opinion is also significant.
"You decide for yourself, but don’t promise right away. Wait until Franz is older; hear his opinion first before deciding."
Hudson said indifferently.
It’s honorable for the son to be in demand, as it reflects well on him as a father. Though these people approach him as a father, it doesn’t alter the ultimate outco.
Major noble alliances inherently require weighing pros and cons, with family interests taking precedence over personal feelings.
Agreeing to consider the son’s opinion is an enlightened approach; many noble children get engaged in a daze.
"It’s not just Franz. The younger ones are also under their scrutiny.
So classmates I’ve never interacted with are now trying to connect with !"
lissa said with a hint of pride.
During her ti at the Magic Academy, while she wasn’t invisible, her status wasn’t exceptionally high either.
The noble children gathered there, and the Hollis family’s status then was rely average, ensuring she wasn’t center of attention.
Magicians are generally attractive, and as a young girl, it was hard to stand out. Those most admired were always the magic prodigies and the most prestigious noble ladies.
No one expected such a twist of fate, transforming her from a side character to a protagonist after a decade.
Even without actively participating in the circle of noblewon, whenever she appeared, she beca the focus instantly.
Everyone’s motives were clear: they had their sights set on her sons. If they couldn’t get the eldest, they’d settle for marrying the second.
The noble world places heavy emphasis on bloodline succession. Externally, given Hudson’s prowess, his offspring are assud to have excellent genes.
Whether it’s cultivation talent or commanding ability in battle, inheriting any of these traits would make one a cornerstone of the kingdom.
Moreover, with so many lands under Hudson’s na and more to co in the future.
Such vast industries are indeed eye-catching; they must be split among the next generation.
Even if the eldest inherits most, the portion for the second is still on par with an average major noble.
