Chapter 376 Signs of Chaos

"Mr. Governor, in addition to this matter, Earl Hudson also sent many orc slaves to exchange labor with the small and medium-sized nobles below. Do you want to stop it?"

Antonio asked with concern.

The work efficiency of orc slaves is definitely not as good as that of serfs. It is also a troublesome to manage, otherwise it would have become popular long ago.

"No need! It seems too deliberate to block them on such a trivial matter, and it will have a bad impact if word spreads about it.

What's more, the Kolubians left a few days ago, and they notified us. Although the final harvest was mediocre, we still have to respond to people's good intentions.

They are all orc slaves anyway, so I guess Earl Hudson wouldn’t feel bad if some of them died, so he arranged them in the most dangerous place.”

Governor Pierce said calmly.

This is a conspiracy. Even if Hudson knew that he was being tricked, he couldn't say anything.

Slaves have no human rights, and orc slaves have no human rights even more. It is natural to assign dirty work to them.

Under the primitive construction technology, some projects in dangerous areas are destined to be filled with lives. It is better to fill it with the lives of animals than with human lives.

"Uncle, I heard that the Kingdom is planning to build the Arcane Academy, and Earl Hudson will be the honorary principal. Do you think this will have any impact on us?"

Viscount Caillaux asked worriedly.

Simply judging from the importance attached by all parties, it can be judged that the Arcane Academy under preparation is not simple. Referring to the Magic Academy in the Royal Capital, Kayo knew that this thing would definitely affect the future political structure of the kingdom.

The competitor is not only the founder of Arcane Academy, but also serves as the honorary principal. However, they only placed an ordinary teacher in it. The influence of the two parties on the academy is obviously not on the same level.

"Don't worry, the Arcane Academy has just been born. It's a time when credibility is needed. No one will cause trouble at this time.

Hudson's character is still guaranteed. We have dealt with him for such a long time, have you ever seen him play tricks?

What's more, it's not his turn to make the decision in the current Arcane Academy. From the establishment of the academy to the present, apart from putting up a name, Hudson has done nothing.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that the old guys control the Arcane Academy too tightly. Even if Hudson, the honorary principal, is in the past, he doesn't have much say.

Just wait and see, once those old guys are beaten to death, Hudson will definitely reach out to the Arcane Academy."

After hearing what Governor Pierce said, Viscount Caillaux was helpless.

"Hudson is a good character?"

Looking back at his memories, he really couldn't find any black spots. At least from the perspective of a human nobleman, everything Hudson did was commendable.

Especially on the orc battlefield, there was a clear opportunity to attack them, but in the end, not only did he not add insult to injury, but he helped them out at the critical moment.

What happens in front of everyone's eyes cannot be ignored.

So much so that at the aristocratic meeting after the war, the proposal for the Koslow family to enter the circle of the great aristocracy was unanimously approved, including the Dalton family who bravely voted in support.

But this guy with good character made him miserable! When I think of my previous tragic experiences, I shed tears.

Unfortunately, these things cannot be told to others yet. If word spreads, it is unclear how much impact it will have on Hudson's reputation. Anyway, Viscount Caillot himself will definitely die.

…

Kingdom of Hesse.

"Your Majesty, Louis Vuitton III is indifferent. No matter what we say, he always has an indifferent attitude."

Marquis Krasner said with a troubled expression.

Originally this was a problem for the military, but the shrewd Marquis Leillian found an opportunity to pass the blame to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The reason was very simple: reckless men like them were only suitable for fighting and killing, and negotiations should be left to professionals.

When it comes to this, even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to shirk it, it has no choice but to accept the trouble.

Unexpectedly, Louis Vuitton III was more difficult to deal with than they expected. Not only did the coercion and inducement fail to work, but the officials sent out to negotiate were actually depressed by his comments.

Even as a prisoner, the king is still full of style. Cooperation is impossible. Now Louis Vuitton III only does one thing - eat, drink and have fun.

Outside the palace is the world of the Hessian army, and inside the palace is still the territory of Louis Vuitton III. The treatment that the king deserves is not deducted at all.

It's not that they don't want to use small tricks, but there are just too many people watching them. We are all smart people, and if Louis Vuitton III doesn't cooperate, it will just cause more trouble.

If drastic measures were taken and something happened to Louis Vuitton III, the crime of regicide would fall on them.

This kind of selective problem, not to mention the pressure of international public opinion, even their own king would not be able to help but kill them.

"waste!

Tell that bastard Louis Vuitton that if he cooperates, he will be the fiefdom count of the kingdom. If he behaves well, I can give him a fiefdom in a wealthy county.

If he continues to resist, let him take his family into exile and live a life dependent on others.

If you can't persuade me, then mobilize the people of the Kolubian royal family to persuade me. Send his queen, prince, and princess over and let them do the work together!"

Alexander V said angrily.

This action against the Count of Kolubia has gone too far. If the aftermath is not dealt with properly, the international reputation of the Kingdom of Hesse will fall into negative territory.

It is never an easy matter to legally annex a country. Especially for a country like the County of Kolubia that has not fought a single war, it will be full of hidden dangers for its future rule.

If you can't swallow it raw, you can only add some technical content. For example: Louis Vuitton III proposed the merger of the two countries.

There is a precedent for this kind of thing in the Aslant continent. The predecessors of several powerful countries on the continent were formed by a group of noble lords after the collapse of the empire.

Most of the great nobles with ancient inheritance had kings in their ancestors. Even if they were independent for only a short time, they still had a glorious history.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. If Louis Vuitton III really wanted to commit suicide, he would have been dead a long time ago. No matter how fast we act, we can't stop a person from seeking death.

The current performance is nothing more than waiting for a price and trying to get better treatment. We want a decent ending, so why doesn't he do the same?

The real trouble we have in annexing the County of Corubia at this moment is the noble lords scattered in various places. If these people are not eliminated, the kingdom's local rule will never be peaceful!"

Prime Minister Duke Milton said murderously.

It was just that the clamor was loud, but when it came time to deal with it in detail, the situation changed again.

The territory of the nobles is sacred and inviolable, and not even the king has the right to deprive them of their titles without a proper reason.

According to the normal rhythm of seizing a title, the king or governments at all levels can formally deprive the person of the title only after they have caught evidence of major crimes committed by the person concerned and submitted them to the Noble Council for confirmation.

This kind of game rules obviously does not apply to the County of Kolubia. If you want to deprive one family or two nobles of their titles, you might be able to do it.

It is surprising that the local nobles can agree to the collective seizure of titles! I am afraid that even if a knife is placed on the necks of the members, the local noble assembly will not be able to pass it.

In times of non-war, Alexander V would not dare to order the execution of nobles, even nobles from other countries.

It's even worse to leave these people behind. The Hessian Kingdom took great risks and took military action just to eat meat in the past. It was not a nominal ruling power.

All the domestic interest groups are sharpening their knives and waiting to share the cake. If they suddenly say that the cake is gone, they will not be able to explain it at all.

"What do you think should be done?"

Alexander V asked pretending not to know.

Generally speaking, when dealing with die-hards who are apparently unable to attack, the only option is to take extraordinary measures.

However, in this kind of matter, it is usually the people below who take the initiative, and whether it succeeds or fails, it must have nothing to do with the king.

"Your Majesty, the July Society has been entrenched in the County of Corubia for a long time and is plotting to launch a rebellion.

We went to help suppress the rebellion, but the nobles of Kolubia did not appreciate it. The master did not agree, and we could not forcefully enter their territory.

Now that the matter is leaked, I am afraid that July will take the risk and launch a rebellion in advance to attack the king of the County of Kolubia.

For the sake of the overall situation, please order the troops who entered the County of Corubia to gather in the royal capital to protect the safety of Louis Vuitton III."

Count Niklas suggested with a serious face.

For this kind of thing, the military must stand up and take responsibility, and cannot let this matter have anything to do with the king.

"Let Marquis Leillian take care of it! Maintaining the long-term peace and order of Kolubia is the first priority."

The words of Alexander V directly settled the matter. If you want long-term stability in Kolubia, you must first clean up the unstable factors.

It was just a bitter experience during the July Meeting. People were still operating in the northern part of the Alpha Kingdom, but a black pot fell from the sky.

And if you don't recite it, there will be countless evidence and black materials pointing to them, proving that they did all the bad things.

Of course, for the July Party, which is thousands of miles away, this is simply because there are too many lice and not itching, so taking the blame can only be regarded as a daily operation.

In the past years, they have fought countless crimes, and this time is just one more crime.

As for cult organizations, no one is clean. Especially cult organizations that have made a name for themselves, they are covered in blame.

…

holy mountain.

"Your Majesty, the Ruthenians have rejected our goodwill and are only willing to lend roads and refuse to declare war on the dwarf kingdom!"

Bishop Solon reported with a gloomy face.

I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect it to be rejected in the end. You know, they also spent a lot of money to win over the Kingdom of Ruthenia.

The great Holy See was able to pull down the figure and form an alliance with a declining kingdom, but it was still rejected. It was simply...

In short, this incident has embarrassed Bishop Sauron. Now he is very angry and wants to send troops immediately to send the Ruthenian king to the barbecue grill.

"Expanding the living space of the human race is the responsibility and obligation of everyone. How can the Ruthenians refuse just because they say no!

Send someone to warn the Ruthenian king and tell him that colluding with foreigners will not end well.
