The dust settled, and the farewell banquet was particularly lively. Crown Prince Caesar visited the Blood Moon Castle in person to practice it for the nobles of the kingdom.

It can be seen that in order to pave the way for his son, Caesar III also tried his best.

According to convention, the celebration banquet should be held in the palace after the war ended, and this time it was directly changed to the border.

In name, it is said: In order to pay tribute to the officers and soldiers who died in battle. In fact, everyone knows it is nothing more than to create more opportunities for Prince Caesar to appear.

Feelings are always communicated. If you come into contact with each other more times, you will always meet like-minded friends.

As the crown prince, as long as you want to win over people's hearts, you will not have to worry about no one seeking over.

To be frank, Crown Prince Caesar's performance is actually not bad. Apart from the great loss he suffered during his last expedition to the Duchy of Mosey, he has never done anything that is angry with the heavens and the others have resented.

Even if you have an objection to someone in your heart, you will greet him with a warm smile on your face. Being able to "hide" your true thoughts in your heart is also a necessary element for a king.

Looking at Prince Caesar who was constantly traveling through the crowd, Hudson tacitly gave up the stage and retreated quietly to the side and let him perform.

Unfortunately, with the entry of the five major dukes in New Taipei, the atmosphere quickly changed. Hudson, who should have come out to smooth the field and ease the atmosphere, had long disappeared from the venue.

The great nobles of the kingdom also watched the excitement without much trouble, as if they were waiting for a conflict between the two sides.

The nobles who were close to the royal family could only be anxious. This was the test of Crown Prince Caesar, and the help of others would only help the more they helped.

"Torsten, Rodriguez, Angel, Pedro, Hiro, long time no see you, are you doing well recently?"

I don’t know whether it was intentional or coincidental, when Prince Caesar called the Five Dukes of the North, he deliberately disrupted their appearance order.

Being in the same political group also has a ranking within it. Whoever speaks has a lower voice can be seen from the simple order of appearance.

However, this kind of tacit understanding was left by the previous generation. Now the older generation of people in power have passed away, and the new generation has obviously not adapted to the original rules of the game.

After all, the five major families in the Northland are of equal strength. The internal rankings are never fixed. Basically, the one with the power has stronger abilities and higher prestige, and the more powerful the voice in the alliance.

The seemingly inconspicuous title of Crown Prince Caesar is actually full of sow discord. The only problem is that the means are too immature, which makes people see the purpose at a glance.

"Thank you, His Highness the Crown Prince, for your concern, we have been having a bad life these days!"

Duke Hero responded unhappily.

To be honest, their recent days are indeed very hard.

The older generation suddenly passed away, and internal problems were not arranged at all. Their heirs were all forced to put them on the shelves and forced to take the lead.

Their internal difficulties were not convinced by the public, and the fathers left a lot of problems waiting for them to deal with; the external troubles were even greater, and the hostility of the nobles of the kingdom made the five of them sleepless at night.

This complex situation has never happened in the history of the northern aristocrats.

In the past, even if there were power changes, there were no five families who rushed together.

Even if something happens, it is just a turmoil in the family, and the situation can be stabilized by the help of allies.

All of this waves were together, and the allies who were gathering together to keep warm were all too busy at this moment.

Not only did the five leaders encounter trouble, but most of the small and medium-sized nobles who depended on them also had heirs replaced.

After all, the boss is exhausted because of reselling military supplies. How can the younger brother who follows the boss be alone?

It is considered luck that it was not caught by the investigation team. Once it was found out, then wipe your neck!

The entire group of forces experienced serious internal turmoil, which was also the core reason why the northern nobles did not jump out to seize the spoils.

The choice to show up publicly after the dust is settled is not only to sell well to everyone, but also to sell misery to everyone.

People are always inevitably sympathetic to the weak. They are both members of the aristocratic camp. The more pitiful and helpless the nobles in the northern region are now, the more they can arouse everyone's sympathy.

This kind of compassion is worthless in the face of interests, but when it does not involve one's own interests, it is another situation.

In order to make the image of "poor and helplessness" more deeply rooted in people's hearts, we are now even more willing to mess with the Crown Prince Caesar and deliberately create a poor noble character who was suppressed by the royal family.

"Is that so? That's really bad! But my brother Herro, I believe that this little trouble will not hurt you!"

Crown Prince Caesar said with a sincere face.

It was obvious that he also discovered the calculations of the nobles in the North. He simply accompanied him to act, just telling everyone directly: they have a deep brotherhood.

...

There were drama artists on both sides, and the exciting meeting made Hudson roll his eyes.

I have to admit that the nobles are really precocious. They are only in their teens and twenties, but they have the mentality of an old fox in their fifties and sixties.

If we grow up in this state, we will probably see that twenty years later, these guys will be old foxes in the political arena again.

As for now, the performances are too fierce and have been seen through by the old guys. It is estimated that among the younger generation, some of the politically incompetent people will be fooled.

These are all small problems. As long as the northern nobles stay in their fiefdoms and do not cause trouble, no one can do anything to them.

No matter how turbulent the internal situation is, the strong military strength will eventually remain. Normal people will not be interested in their hard bones. They will lose their political voice in the future.

After today, Hudson's position as head coach has reached its peak. Without the identity of head coach, he is only an ordinary earl in the kingdom.

As a new nobleman, at this time, you must be low-key. Too active will easily be beaten by society.

Fortunately, the Kingdom's cake was made bigger this time, and his rise only impacted the status of the Dalton family and did not touch the interests of other great nobles in the Kingdom. Otherwise, Hudson's life would not be so comfortable.

"We have witnessed the unity of the kingdom together today. In the days to come, we will work together to create a great Alpha Kingdom!

Now please let His Highness, Crown Prince Caesar, read to you the list of heroes and changes in titles and fiefs in this war…”

Seeing the show ending, Hudson also appeared at the banquet center. All the military rewards were confirmed early, and even the notification was issued to everyone.

This happened at this moment, it was purely Hudson who was building momentum for Crown Prince Caesar, or reciprocating the king.

Welcomed the hot eyes of everyone, Prince Caesar slowly walked to the small and medium-sized venue and read out loudly: "With everyone's joint efforts and through a lot of hardships, we finally expelled the evil orcs.

In order to demonstrate the fairness and justice of the kingdom and to distinguish between rewards and punishments, the great Caesar III decided to commend the meritorious ministers.

After everyone's common recognition, the chief minister in this war was the commander of the army, Count Hudson.

Expedition to the Duchy of Moxi to save allies from water and fire; be ordered to quell the disasters of riots and save the safety of southern provinces; northern expeditions to turn the tide...

Now the Earl of Hudson is enthroned as the Earl of Wrightshire, and the fiefs are Dadir City, Snowmoon City, Times Town, and Telmonkos Town…”

"All political actions that cannot be understood are priced behind the scenes."

——Hudson Quotations

The fifty-six fiefdoms were rewarded by Hudson. Although the area was small and the distribution was scattered, it was better because the fiefdoms were all in the southeastern province where the land was fertile.

Just calculating the territory area, the total area of ​​fifty-six fiefs is only more than 7,000 square kilometers, which belongs to the younger brother among the earls of the kingdom.

But when it comes to product resources, it will definitely not be much worse.

Looking at the envious eyes of the nobles, you can tell that Hudson's gains are definitely rich. I guess that in addition to the royal family, his gains can rank in the top three this time.

As for why it is not the most common, it involves the essence of the distribution of spoils. In addition to the open military achievements, an important factor must also be considered - strength.

A strong nobleman can share a big cake as long as he does not perform too much. This is also a convention.

The relatively harmonious performance of the split of the spoils this time was mainly due to the northern aristocrats.

Otherwise, according to the past practice, the northern nobles alone could take away more than one-third of the cake, and it would be strange if everyone else didn't steal the rest.

Looking at the final result, Hudson discovered that there were tough characters among the nobles of the Kingdom. The two families that benefited him from beginning to end were: they did not show off their mountains and did not show off, and they made a fortune in silence.

This time Viscount Auran also rewarded him as he wished and successfully became the fief of the Earl, but the price he paid behind the scenes was a bit high.

As far as Hudson knows, in exchange for this enthronement, the Holliser family gave up a lot of fiefs in the southeastern province. During the public relations process, there were more money and favors.

There is no way. If you don’t make any contribution now, even if you want to make any contribution in the future, you will not have such an opportunity.

No middle-class nobleman who crosses the threshold does not pay a price. As the only exception, Hudson's rise is completely unreferenced.

The most common operation is to take one step at a time, after several generations of accumulation, and wait for an opportunity to explode.

Some people succeed, some people fail. It’s nothing if they fail to go further. The worst thing is to watch the family decline.

Although we can still sit together and eat, drink, and talk about everything. If these families that were severely damaged in the war did not improve in the next few years, their future prospects would be bleak.

The bondage of affection is time-limited. The greater the benefits involved, the weaker this bondage force will be.

He has a wide network of connections and does a good job in dealing with people in daily life. Occasionally, relatives and friends will play with each other, and the process of decline will be slower.

If the interpersonal relationships are bad and enemies are everywhere, they will soon disappear from this world.

...

After the banquet, Hudson still couldn't rest. As the winner of this battle, the Koslow family was undoubtedly one of the big winners.

In addition to the leader of the Hudson family, who became the Count of Shifeng, many other descendants stood out.

But they did not get what they wanted and stayed in the hinterland of the kingdom to enjoy peace, but were forced to go north to start a business.

It’s not that Hudson refused to help, but he was really subject to the rules of the political game and could not take all the benefits.

Children from other big families have all started their own businesses in northern Xinjiang, and the Koslo family is naturally no exception.

At this time, the benefits of a prosperous population were highlighted. More than 20 children who followed Hudson to work hard all the way to win titles.

The only regret is that the title level is not high, and there is no say in the northern Xinjiang region. Fortunately, I can join forces to keep warm and not be bullied.

Looking at the most outstanding children of the family in front of me, Hudson felt endless sadness. The talents that were fortunately cultivated have now gone out to start a business.

But he couldn't do anything to stop the future of his tribe. Although it was difficult to start a business outside, he could win because of the unlimited possibilities.
