With Hudson's return, the mountain lord quickly became lively.

The sensational poisoning incident has long fermented among the local nobles. Everyone is full of anger, and now there is only one who leads the trouble.

The truth is not important in the face of interests. Who would carefully study whether it is wronged if it is wronged?

The losses caused by the locust plague are so great, so we have to find a way to make up for them, right?

Children who can cry have milk and don’t make things worse. How can you see the big guys above?

As the main figure of the local aristocratic faction, Hudson was naturally highly expected by everyone.

...

"Everyone, the time is wrong. The kingdom is strictly investigating the locust plague and has initially determined that the mastermind behind it is a major force in the mainland.

Now we don’t have enough evidence to prove it. It’s just a matter of the severity of the disaster. They can push it to the mastermind behind the scenes.

This matter involves much more than you think. Even the Governor's Office does not have much say on this issue.

At this critical moment, we should strive to fight disaster first and never cause any trouble.”

Most of the people present were their own people, and Hudson didn't want them to be used, so he jumped out of the dark side at this critical moment.

If the younger brothers were really involved, he, the boss, would not be able to escape.

Talking about war and fighting are two completely different concepts.

"Article" Hudson has always been "fighting" with the northern nobles. It seems like he is dying, but in fact it has no impact on both sides.

All private businesses can be done as usual.

If you really do it, it will be different. The outside world mistakenly thinks that the mountain leads troops and horses are strong, but Hudson is very clear about how weak his strength is.

Except for the veterans who had seen blood, who were trained to become real elites, the rest were all good things.

It's okay to set up a queue, but if they really fight, they'll have killed cattle and sheep.

The combat effectiveness is higher than that of ordinary serf soldiers. How far is the difference between them from the real elite? Only by fighting can you know.

If Hudson didn't continue to train for a year or two, he really had no confidence and let his own soldiers go to the battlefield.

"Baron Hudson, do we let go of such a good opportunity?"

Baron Ezekiel asked unwillingly.

As the loser in the last round of battle, Baron Ezekiel gained nothing except gaining some reputation.

As time goes by, even these false names are slowly fading away.

The real nobles, when they encountered problems, first thought of two powerful players, Baron Kayo and Hudson.

Fame only brought Ezekir the convenience of interpersonal communication, and when it involved tangible benefits, his opinions no longer mattered.

"The kingdom needs stability, which is the overall situation. As a noble, we must put the interests of the kingdom first.

We can slowly settle the grudges with those guys in the north in the future. Now the most important thing for everyone is to fight the locust plague.

With the autumn harvest and production cuts, we can also work hard to preserve the next season of spring grain.

This locust plague is extraordinary. Not only will the autumn grain production be greatly reduced this year, but it is also difficult to get much harvest next year's autumn grain.

The food crisis alone is enough for those guys to bear.

Wouldn't it be good to see them be in trouble?

Why should I jump out and help them?

Isn’t the lesson from the last time enough?”

Hudson sneered and mocked.

Wanting to use him as a gun is simply a dream.

Now that we fight with the nobles in the north, we have to fight to the death. Only by winning can those guys have food to survive the famine.

As far as Hudson knows, in order to reduce food consumption, a group of northern nobles were artificially reducing the number of slaves under their command.

Some cruel ones grind the locusts into powder and added them to the bread making. Many serfs with weak body resistance also died.

It's enough to prove how difficult the days of those guys are.

Although making locust powder is the leader of the mountain, Hudson just started with the lonely locusts and gathered together in a large army of locusts. He did not dare to ask for it.

Even if locust powder is made, it will only be added in a small amount, accounting for less than one percent.

With such a small dose, even if there is a toxin, it can be used.

They are all forced out. After reducing the supply of rations, they must ensure the nutritional supply of slaves.

A grasshopper a day can be regarded as a meaty fish.

Seeing that no one responded to the nobles, Baron Ezekiel suddenly became embarrassed.

I said it well just now. Let's put pressure on the mountain leader baron and force the boss to take the lead in making trouble with the nobles in the northern region.

As a result, Hudson said just a few words to retreat from a group of "temporary allies" with a weak stance.

No one can tell whether he was convinced or unwilling to fight against the mountain baron.

Anyway, no one wants to show up.

Facing Baron Ezekiel's eyes asking for help, everyone wandered around, as if they had seen nothing.

Once again, Baron Ezekir's growing desire to break the situation.

In the current political structure of Lait County, the local nobles followed Hudson and the northern nobles followed Baron Sith, and there was no room for them to perform.

The situation in Wyton County next door was similar. Although the northern nobles were divided, most of the local nobles looked at Baron Kayo's expression.

The origin of Baron Ezekiel was unable to have fun with the northern nobles, and among the local nobles, Hudson and Baron Kayo were guarding him strictly.

Among the small teams they formed, there is no Baron Ezekiel's position.

If you want to form a gang, you will also be targeted by all parties.

A neutral noble is not stupid either. How could he be with a guy like him who has a false reputation?

No matter how powerful his tricks are, they are not as good as everyone will weigh the pros and cons.

If this pattern continues, it won’t take long to save the reputation he has accumulated to pieces.

...

In Dadir City, affected by the changes in the situation, a group of northern nobles also sat together to discuss countermeasures.

But the topic they discussed was not about who to fight with, but how to raise enough food.

"Dear Baron Sith, you really can't live this day. Please help me think of a solution!

Affected by the locust plague, Bote received less than one-third of the normal output. The area of ​​sowing was originally small, so it caught up with this wave.

In order to reduce food consumption, I have ordered all the people to stop giving birth and reduce the food supply.

The food standards for me, the lord, have been lowered.

Now I don’t even dare to eat a meal of barbecue, and I change it to stew soup so that my subordinates can get some meat.

But this is still a drop in the bucket.

According to the current grain inventory in the territory, if you persist for up to three months, the smoke will be cut off.

But now the locust plague is still raging, and any movement in the territory has joined the battle to destroy locusts.

But locusts are like a continuous stream, killing one after another, and they can't be killed completely.

Judging from the current situation, Qiu Geng can't count on it anymore. I don't know how to live the days ahead now."

Baron Bazel said worriedly.

Although the food was cut off for three months and there was a suspicion of exaggeration, the food shortage did exist.

In order to deal with the crisis, Bazer really did his best. Now the slaves in the territory have begun to catch locusts and eat locusts.

Even if you know that locusts are poisonous, it is better to be poisoned than to starve to death.

With its strong physical resistance, some orcs carried it down, while more orcs were lying on the hospital bed and wailing.

If nothing unexpected happens, these guys who are lying down are now eliminated.

Not only were the slaves miserable, but the serfs also couldn't live their lives. The food rations were greatly reduced, and driven by hunger, many people also ate locusts.

Seeing all this happening, Baron Bazel still ignored it.

For Botling, if new food sources are not found, reducing the population is the only effective way to deal with the crisis.

"Okay, Bazel. There is at least a small river in your territory, and you can get some fish supplements.

My territory is miserable, and there is nothing left except the bare land.

Those damn locusts didn't even let go of wild vegetables.

If this continues, I have to eat dirt."

Justin Knight joked bitterly.

There is no worst, only worse.

Perhaps in the eyes of the local nobles, the locust plagues suffered by the lords of the northern land were lighter, but the losses suffered by everyone were devastating.

...

Listening to everyone's constant complaints, Baron Sith only felt his scalp numb.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight; if you want to hold a rose, you must bear the wound."

If you enjoy the dividends of being the boss, you must also assume the obligation to be the boss.

Not to mention anything else, the previous commerce prosperity in Dadir City was supported by these little brothers.

Now that the younger brothers are almost hungry, how could he, the boss, not express anything?
To be continued...
