King
Chapter 165 - 165 113 Caryo-Dalton_2

165: Chapter 113, Caryo-Dalton_2 165: Chapter 113, Caryo-Dalton_2 Perhaps because Pigg didn’t inherit his second brother’s intelligence, Pigg’s casualty rate topped the list.

If one wanted to offset these losses, they needed only to keep male and female Pigg together and allow them to mate freely.

A few months would give a new batch.

Without a doubt, Hudson, as a traditional noble, would never engage in such activity to expand the Orc clan.

The race that is first in feeding but lousy at everything else is obviously not the labor force that Master Hudson needed.

Survival of the fittest is a law of nature.

There were plenty of such slave races in the Orc Empire, far from needing to preserve endangered species.

With the Mountain Domain thriving, other nobles were not idle, either.

Baron Katelai, who had been screwed over by Hudson several times, finally got a piece of the action.

Thanks to the increase of travelers to the Mountain Domain, the casinos and entertainment venues of the Maple Domain also started seeing more business.

While it could not be described as booming, it ultimately became profitable.

In particular, the hot performances of the exquisite women of different races always attracted a great deal of attention.

Regrettably, Baron Katelai had a rule that these women only serve nobles overnight and do not deal with merchants.

Only at the once-a-month auction, where the highest bidder wins, could there be exceptions.

Typical self-inflation, yet everyone seemed to love it.

Originally Baron Katelai could have earned more, but unfortunately, Baron West followed suit in Dardiel City and stole a large number of noble customers.

Before Hudson could do anything, the conflict of interests further worsened the relationship between the two.

This kind of money would not last long.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be many nobles of the North joining in.

Even certain jealous individuals, who don’t have the conditions to follow suit, will directly sell the exotic beauties.

The development of the nobles of the North is not bad, and each has its own unique characteristics.

Some savvy nobles have already started selling some local specialties in the North.

Even though the business isn’t booming, there is still profit to be made.

Why resort to violence when you can make money through business?

The days of establishing authority have passed.

What’s needed now is integration.

The smart ones have already adjusted their mindset early on.

If this peaceful time could last for a hundred or eighty years, presumably, the label of “Nobles of the North” would gradually fade from people’s vision, leaving only a folklore tale.

Unfortunately, reality is cruel.

Just after arranging the spring farming, Hudson received an unexpected message.

Miss Melissa, who was studying in the capital, suddenly wrote to inform him – Caryo-Dalton graduated early.

The familiar yet strange name quickly jogged Hudson’s memory.

The late Lord of Luoye Town in Wharton County, happened to bear this name.

If this was his only profile, it would not be enough to stir Hudson.

A mere baron was not worth his attention.

The problem was this guy’s last name – Dalton.

Hudson used his connections to find out.

This guy is the only nephew of the current family head, Earl Piers, and he also served in the Kingdom’s Mage Team, acquiring a fertile fiefdom after reaping some merits.

Such is the skill of choosing the right womb to be born, it’s indeed enviable.

The person is absent, but the development of Luoye Town is not slow.

Even if it is only a steward who is in charge of the domain, with the Dalton family’s name, things are still smoothly done.

With a robust background and development within their power sphere, as long as Baron Caryo is not an idiot, he is likely to get the position of Prefectural Governor of Wharton County without any suspense.

The nobles of Wharton County are far less active than the nobles of Layton County, presumably for this reason.

Knowing that they can’t compete, naturally no one would dare to stand out easily and provoke the future Prefectural Governor.

Unlike Layton County, where multiple heroes strive for supremacy initially, and now it has developed into a two-hero standoff.

No one can predetermine who between Hudson and West will have the last laugh.

From Hudson’s standpoint, he naturally hoped that this guy would spend a few more years in the capital.

With Baron Caryo absent, Hudson would be the most eye-catching figure among the native nobles.

Those initially active representatives have long been reduced to insignificance in previous struggles by the nobles of the North.

Loser have no right to speak.

Only Hudson, who has repeatedly opposed the nobles of the North without being socially beaten down, naturally became their spiritual leader.

This title holds no substantial power, but it carries significant influence among the native nobles.

The smooth development of the Mountain Domain is also strongly associated with this invisible influence.

Combining the military strength and economic power of the Mountain Domain, even outside, they would receive some respect.

Unfortunately, all these combined fall short when compared to the mere last name “Dalton”.

Not all native nobles will be won over, but there will certainly be a loss in Hudson’s influence among the native nobles.

Knowing that his soft power will be weakened, Hudson could not do anything to the initiator.

He promptly sent a reply and arranged a gift to be sent to show gratitude, then Hudson cast himself into preparations.

Although the Koslow family members were widely spread, most of them were concentrated among the lower ranks of the Noble Consortium.

Their influence over the higher ranks was too weak.
