After looking back at the Blood Moon Castle that had fought, Hudson took the team to officially embark on his way back. If it weren't for the more goods in the team, it would be almost no different from when he came.

The noble enthronement that should have been accepted by the royal capital has now been put on hold indefinitely.

From the outbreak of the war to the present, it lasted for three years. Even the latest group of officers and soldiers who joined the army fought on the battlefield for more than a year.

Those who can survive are lucky people. Now, everyone is tired and tired, and just want to go home and rest.

As soon as the fiefdom issue was implemented, everyone who was eager to return home rushed to their hometown as quickly as possible.

Compared to the time we came, it was obviously smoother to go back this time. Perhaps to ease the relationship, the Dalton family provided ships to the nobles in the province for free this time.

The changes brought about by the war were profound. After witnessing the convenience of shipping, the nobles who originally did not like to take a boat now readily accepted the invitation.

Hudson did not refuse this kind of good intention. The main force had already left first with the beginning of the major disarmament, and now some escorts were following him.

Even if the Dalton family was playing tricks, Hudson could bear the losses of these hundreds of people.

But this is impossible. All the nobles in the province followed. If an accident happened together, Dalton would have to be buried with him.

What's more, Hudson also rode on the same boat with Earl Pierce. If an accident occurs, the ship will be destroyed and killed, Earl Pierce will definitely go to see the Lord of the Dawn first.

Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed, which made the nobles in the province stunned. If they hadn't learned about the relationship between the competitors between the two, they would have thought that they were good friends who could talk about everything.

Even though they were surprised, everyone still understood the political signals they released: the Dalton family and the Coslow family will not turn against each other for the time being, so don’t think about taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble.

This attitude is entirely based on the interests of the two companies.

The Dalton family's military strength has been greatly damaged, and it takes time to recover its vitality; the Koslow family, as a nouveau riche, also needs time to digest the results.

The world of aristocrats is realistic. The pattern of two families being coherent has taken shape and will not be changed by personal will.

Since everyone needs time now, they have the prerequisites to ease the relationship. Let’s talk about the future.

It is impossible to expect the fisherman to benefit from the confrontation and rise quietly to get a bargain.

"Send the order to rest in Kuike Island ahead!"

Earl Pierce's command came out, and a huge island appeared loomingly in front of Hudson.

Show strength?

This is more like temptation!

Looking at the huge island that appeared in front of him, Hudson began to drool. Although he didn't know how big the specific area was, it would definitely not be a small island that could be used as an overseas base by the Dalton family.

"Count Hudson has never lacked islands on the sea, but there are very few suitable for development.

The Kuike Island in front is a treasure land. After hundreds of years of development, it is now a rare and prosperous place overseas.

Although it is not as good as the mainland, the unique style on the ocean is also unique. It is rare to come out, you want..."

Earl Pierce's words pulled Hudson's thoughts back. No matter how good Kuike Island is, it has nothing to do with him.

The most insignificant sea is islands. Especially in the northern continent with many shallow reefs in the sea, there are countless islands.

On the way alone, the islands that we encountered were no less than three digits. We were not occupied by humans. In addition to the small area, the biggest reason was the difficulty in development.

Storms and waves are all fatal factors that threaten these islands. What’s even more pitiful is that these islands have few excellent ports, and if you want to dock large ships, you must carry out deep transformation of the seabed.

During the previous war, the human race opened a sea channel and did not seem to have much effort, but that was the result of the combined efforts of the entire human race.

For a force, it is still difficult to transform a sea area. No matter how much he is willing to spend a lot of money, he cannot get a team of high-level magicians to be a coolie.

"Ha ha……

To be honest, I have never set foot on the island even though I grew up so old. It is rare to have a chance to see it. Such things must not be missed!"

Hudson said frankly.

It wasn't just that he was deliberately pretending to be young, it was his first time to come into contact with the ocean. Just the experiences along the way made Hudson's knowledge increase and he became more and more determined to develop into the ocean.

I just don’t know what Count Pierce will think about it after knowing all this. However, I guess the problem will not be too big. Developing to the sea not only requires a lot of investment, but also requires long-term technical accumulation.

If the poor and innocent Koslo family really gets involved in maritime trade, they will not have the energy to cause trouble on the mainland for a long time in the future.

For the Dalton family, buffering during this period is particularly important.

After all, if you are neighbors with a young military strongman like Hudson, no one will sleep well if you don't find something for him.

It is all caused by traditional concepts and cognition. In the eyes of many people outside, the young and energetic Hudson is an unstable factor.

This misunderstanding is naturally inevitable that Hudson deliberately fuels the fire behind the scenes. Just tell everyone directly: I can afford to bet when I want to play.

A typical bluff, but everyone just takes this trick. Without involving their own interests, no one wants to touch Hudson, a "heedgehog" with little meat.

"Don't worry, Count Hudson, Quak Island will definitely not disappoint you!"

While chatting and laughing, the ship had already landed. Under the leadership of Earl Pierce, Hudson and a number of provincial nobles set foot on land one after another.

Even though he had not been floating on the sea for long, Hudson still felt "stable" when he stepped onto the land.

Looking at the bustling dock, everyone was envious and jealous. Obviously, the Dalton family showed their strength very successfully.

From the prosperity of the port, we can see that the profits of Kuike Island must be quite high, and this is just the tip of the iceberg exposed by the Dalton family.

Although economic strength does not represent everything, the economic foundation can often determine the superstructure. Enough financial resources are the guarantee of strong military strength.

It is obvious that the Dalton family, as the old overlord of the Southeast Province, is not as simple as it seems.

Shuving through the island, Hudson discovered that Queke Island was much larger than he expected. The island not only had ports, but also farmland and forests, which was a self-sustaining island.

As a guest, it is difficult to directly ask about the area of ​​the island, but from what I see now, Hudson knew that the island had a population of at least tens of thousands of people, and there might even be more.

Hudson vaguely found that he seemed to have opened a new path of development, but this path was not easy to walk.

By looking at the development of the Dalton family, you can know that the nobles of the Aslant continent have obviously extended their tentacles to the sea, but due to various reasons, the investment is not enough.

After a short trip to Kuike Island, Hudson clearly felt the emotional changes of his fellow nobles. What surprised him was that several middle-class nobles in the province did not react and were obviously familiar with all this.

Looking for a suitable opportunity, Hudson walked to Earl Orland and asked, "Empress Earl, there should be many Dalton family in the Dalton family on islands like Quike Island?"

This speculation was made entirely based on the large ship under their feet. The luxury magical giant ship they are riding now has a load capacity of more than 3,000 tons.

This level of transportation capacity already has the ability to achieve oceans. It is no problem to develop some offshore islands.

"The Daltons control a lot of islands, and most of the islands along the coast of our southeastern province are under their control.

However, there are not many islands developed like Kuike Island. Don’t look at the fact that there are many farmlands on the island, once they encounter a storm, they will disappear in an instant.

But the ocean storms are uncontrollable, and they will come once every few years. If they encounter a large storm, even the port will have to be rebuilt.

It is precisely because of the strong uncertainty that the Dalton family has been involved in the ocean for a long time, but the focus of development is still on land.

Hudson, I remember that your territory is not far from the sea. If you just want to get a piece of the maritime trade, it is probably not a big problem. The Dalton family will probably sell you some face now.

But if you want to develop into the ocean and focus on operations, you have now lost the opportunity.

The price you need to pay to develop is far more difficult than developing swamps.

I suggest you don’t worry, anyway, you have time, so you can develop the swamp first and establish a solid foundation.

At that time, whether it is to open up the trade routes of the Black Rock Mountains or to open up maritime trade lines, it will be much easier than now!”

After hearing Earl Oran's words, Hudson frowned. Why has it just begun? Everyone can see the future development strategy of the Koslow family?

However, there is no way to do this. The swamp development plan was launched a few years ago. Now hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land have been gradually opened, which cannot be kept secret from the outside world.

Especially more than a year ago, after the Koslo family acquired a large number of refugees, almost all of these manpower was invested in the development of the swamp, and completely exposed the strategy to the eyes of the outside world.

"Don't worry, your Count, I still know myself. The Koslo family doesn't even have a sea boat now, so why should they compete with the Dalton family for the nearshore?

Now, I understand the situation. I am just attracted by the convenience of sea transportation. It’s not that I’m competing for territory with the Dalton family. They can’t let my ship pass!”

Hudson said calmly.

Compared with other aristocratic forces, Hudson would rather the Dalton family control the offshore areas of the Southeast Province. This strategic focus is on the inland maritime regional overlords, which are always unavoidable.

As long as sufficient deterrence is maintained on land, the Dalton family will not dare to cause trouble at sea.

If it were a pure maritime force, it would not be so easy to talk to. If there was a disagreement between the people, they could directly play the sea blockade.

Perhaps it was blessed by the Lord of Dawn, or perhaps it was a good time for sailing, and it was smooth sailing along the way, and I didn’t even encounter any waves.

However, when luck is used up, the day before I arrive at my destination, the sea suddenly changed color.

For a moment, a storm broke out, and the originally calm sea surface also caused huge waves, slapped violently on the hull.

Hudson witnessed a soldier accidentally being swept into the sea by waves and disappearing into the vast sea in an instant, and it was too late to rescue him.

"There are monsters approaching under the sea. All the strong men take action to stabilize the hull and wait for an opportunity to kill the monsters!"

An experienced captain shouted loudly to everyone.

The nobles who had no experience in sailing could only blindly obey the command.

"Maxim, release your breath and drive out the monsters that are causing chaos under the sea!"

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, a mini-version dragon flew out from behind him, quickly turning into a giant in the air, and then let out a crisp dragon roar.

It has to be admitted that the deterrent power of the dragon is extraordinary. Under the deterrence of the dragon's power, everyone felt depressed, as if the air was suffocated.

The originally chaotic sea surface quickly returned to peace. The monster that had just taken advantage of the chaos to stir up waves to cause trouble has disappeared at this moment.

After finishing the work, the depressed Maxim shook his tail and quickly shrank his figure back to Hudson.
To be continued...
