“Soone dared to attack the immigrant convoy!”
Hudson burst out in anger.
In his own territory, the Southeastern Province, there were actually people bold enough to interfere with his people.
It felt like a direct provocation against his authority.
“Count, now is not the ti to get angry.
The priority is to make other teams strengthen their vigilance to prevent a similar occurrence.
Judging from the report, the enemy dispatched hundreds of people; such a large-scale operation couldn’t have happened without a trace.
We hadn’t noticed beforehand, which ans soone must have provided cover for them.
In the Southeastern Province, only a few clans have that capability, and even fewer would dare to do so.
However, we have already sent people to keep an eye on the Dalton Family.
If they transfer troops, we should notice sothing unusual.
Unless we underestimate this overlord of the Southeast, they might have more hidden forces that we are unaware of.”
Cain analyzed with a serious expression.
Clearly, things had gone beyond his expectations.
The Mountain Domain’s intelligence about the Dalton Family primarily ca from the Hollis clan.
Before the rise of the Koslow Family, these two strongest clans in the province had many conflicts, and therefore understood each other well.
Since deciding to move north, this information about the Dalton Family was delivered to Hudson by Count Orlan.
To ensure the relocation went smoothly, Hudson had been monitoring the Dalton Family’s hidden forces early on.
“That possibility is slim.
Judging by the enemy’s displayed strength, many were involved in the attack, but there were few experts.
If the Dalton Family were to strike us, they would definitely deliver a thunderous blow, not this kind of small show.
The battle report showed that the enemy clearly still had the strength to continue fighting, yet they retreated after re dozens of deaths, which is very unusual.
It’s likely so major forces want to create trouble and fra us, deliberately leading us astray.
The real culprit behind the scenes may not even be targeting us, but possibly the Dalton Family or even the Kingdom.
There are many forces that wish to see the Magical Beast Legion plan fail.
Unable to find breakthroughs elsewhere, they could use us as a scapegoat, it’s possible.
There are too many suspicious forces that could have acted, and with the current information we have, we can’t determine who the real culprit is!”
After hearing Rudolf’s words, Hudson also beca confused.
If they were only dealing with their own issues, it would be easy to find the enemy.
Looking at the history of the Koslow Family, they had only offended a number of major forces.
A casual analysis would bring out so suspects.
But in the grand sche of the Alpha Kingdom, it was impossible to make a guess.
Even the current international relations were beyond Hudson’s understanding, let alone finding the real culprit.
“Take it slow, no need to rush.
Our current mission is to complete the immigration as soon as possible.
Who the puppet master is, is not that important.
Plus, the enemy left behind dozens of corpses.
It shouldn’t be difficult to investigate their identities, right!
Layer by layer, we’ll strip them down and one day we’ll be able to dig them out.
When that ti cos, we’ll settle scores with them!”
Hudson stated vehently.
Despite his strong words, in reality, Hudson was not at all confident.
Despite his attempts at keeping a low profile, the Mountain Domain had unavoidably beco a vortex of chaos.
The more he knew, the more he pondered, the more things he felt wary of.
Compared to the current confusion, if a powerful force they couldn’t afford to offend was found out, that would be real trouble.
If no revenge was taken, he would appear too weak, risking a collapse of his reputation; if he acted for revenge, without sufficient strength on hand, it would most likely end in humiliation.
The Koslow family’s greatest advantage right now was that they had a large population.
If they had a falling-out with a powerful force, who used underhanded thods, this advantage could crumble instantly.
Without these foundations, Hudson would at best be a strong loose cultivator.
If he wanted to establish a major force again, he’d have to join a cult.
This was not a matter of choice of allegiance, but a matter of being labeled as a mber of a cult by those in power, and thus you better really be a cultist.
…
With a loud “bang”, Hudson’s homade Alchemy Furnace was once again put to use.
If he hadn’t dodged quickly enough, he would have been covered in soot again.
After one failure after another, Hudson had to admit that he was no potion refining genius.
Using the formula, step by step in accordance with the annotations, ten attempts would result in at least nine failures.
The rare occasion of success could lead to a myriad of dissatisfactory results.
There was no need to be despondent, the vast majority of alchemists on the continent were at this level.
They mastered the making of a Magic Potion through accumulated experience of failure.
As for Hudson’s original thod of potion refining in an Alchemy Furnace, that’s purely testing luck.
With the Furnace constrained by substandard raw materials, furnace explosions were common, not exploding was the surprise.
Whether the furnace exploded or not was not important, what mattered was the result.
Using the sa potion recipe, all sorts of odd products were born in Hudson’s Alchemy Furnace.
