759: Chapter 41, The Great Trickster Online — United Southeastern Province_2 759: Chapter 41, The Great Trickster Online — United Southeastern Province_2 Without any surprises, right after the two Big Shots finished speaking, a number of nobles from the Southeastern Province began to make declarations in pairs or small groups.

A smoothly run fundraiser without the slightest ripple blinded many people with its success.

For the Aristocrats within the kingdom, such operations were not common in their lives, but there were still a few examples.

But it wasn’t the same for representatives from other nations.

It was obvious from their eyes that they were shocked.

Perhaps, the events of today would surprise them for many years.

What seems like just a simple fundraiser, revealed something not simple at all.

The contribution of the Alpha Kingdom’s Major Nobles was merely the tip of the iceberg.

What truly terrified them was the Alpha Kingdom aristocracy’s – unity.

People knew that the Dalton and Koslow Families were bitter rivals with countless private frictions in the Southeastern Province.

Normally, such families should be pulling each other back; anything the other party supports, we oppose.

Only when the stakes are high enough or in the face of life and death – not cooperating would mean everyone’s doom, will there be a chance of cooperation.

Yet, reality deemed it otherwise; these two clans who were supposed to stab each other in the back have begun to cooperate without even the shadow of an enemy in sight.

After all, the so-called threat from the Black Forest Kingdom remains purely conjecture.

Currently, there’s no sign of any impending military action from the Black Forest Kingdom, let alone planning an attack crossing the Black Stone Mountain Range.

Although the distance between the two sides is less than one hundred kilometers, it would be tough for any great army to cross through.

Even if a passage was opened, a strong force would be needed to defend the passage, ensuring the safety of one’s own logistics.

Regrettably, the majority of the Southeastern Province Nobles who suffer from severe paranoia, believe that when war breaks out, the Black Forest People will come charging from here.

The theory that they strongly rely upon involves the Orcs.

Not too long ago, during the Orc Invasion War, the Bimon Army had detoured through multiple countries, aiming at the core of the Alpha Kingdom.

If Master Hudson hadn’t led the Expeditionary Army back to rescue in time, the once-empty southern provinces might have been successfully ambushed by the Orcs.

Traveling thousands of miles was possible, and opening a passage less than one hundred kilometers would obviously be easy.

No matter if others believe it or not, Governor Piers was convinced.

With the consistent instigation of Master Hudson, they quickly came to a conclusion: Black Forest Kingdom was ready to invade the Alpha Kingdom via the Black Stone Mountain Range!

This is a matter of life and death; Unity is a must!

The disputes between the Dalton and Koslow Families are merely a power struggle between the number one and number two families.

Even if one were victorious, they would not annihilate the other.

The meeting quickly came to an end, and the nobles who had nothing entertaining to watch, excused themselves and left in pairs.

In the end, only Master Hudson remained drinking tea.

“His Excellency the Count, can this really deter the Black Forest Kingdom?”

Governer Piers asked uncertainly.

The defense line can be built at any time.

To be one step ahead of the southern provinces, the two families paid a hefty price, jointly directing this grand spectacle, obviously not for their egos.

“Your Excellency Governor, relax!

Just look at the ambassador from the Black Forest’s reaction, the meeting just now must’ve scared him plenty.

From today onwards, in the eyes of the public, we of the Southeastern Province are united.

Anyone wanting to deal with us has to think twice.

Human nature is to bully the weak and fear the strong.

The regions bordering the Kingdom and the Black Forest Kingdom isn’t just the Southeastern Province.

Realizing we are not easily bullied, they naturally won’t act recklessly.

Even if the war breaks out immediately, we won’t be classified as a primary target.

If we can build the Blood Moon Defense Line into the Kingdom’s strongest defense line and make the enemy realize that the Southeast Province isn’t easily broken, we will be removed from the Black Forest Kingdom’s list of targets.

If a large-scale war were to break out, we will still be the Kingdom’s major base!”

Hudson assured him optimistically.

After the war, in order to obtain a period of peaceful development, he has been diligently laying out his strategies, but cannot achieve the desired results.

Opportunities are given to those who are prepared.

The sudden assassination case gave him an opportunity.

After advocating the Black Forest threat theory in the Southeastern Province for several days, he finally got to put it to work.

With the initial media hype, Hudson had successfully manipulated the local nobles and tricked Governor Piers with their common consciousness.

The final result was the “United Southeastern Province”.

Whether others believe it or not, Hudson does.

Since it is a united province, the previous frictions must stop.

All the small conflicts that happened before must now be put on hold.

So that Governor Piers could keep busy, without spare time to idle, Hudson not only guided everyone to increase the building standard of the Blood Moon Defense Line, but also gave up the construction leadership of the Blood Moon Defense Line.

As for whether the Black Forest Kingdom will attack from the Black Stone Mountain Range in the future, you would have to ask the Black Forest People, Hudson wouldn’t know.

If the enemy invades from the Black Stone Mountain Range, this could tell the foresight of Master Hudson’s proposal to construct the defense line; If the enemy doesn’t attack from here, then the “winning without a fight” strategy is successful.

Regardless of the final outcome, Master Hudson’s judgment was correct.

Once the project starts, there’s no going back.

Since it was announced in front of many Continent Aristocrats that a large sum of money would be spent to build the Blood Moon Defense Line, it must be implemented.
