Chapter 991 - 991 124 Division Plan_3

991: Chapter 124: Division Plan_3 991: Chapter 124: Division Plan_3 If it weren’t for the fear of alerting all parties, he would have liked to take over the cities everywhere in the name of the Allied Command, letting the Moxi Army take control.

A wholesale takeover of cities did not occur, but assisted defenses were staged at major strategic locations.

“Rakel, according to the current plan, the progress is really too slow.

The Expeditionary Army cannot be stationed in the Warhammer Kingdom for long; in the end, it’s still up to you.

The excuse of defending against a counterattack from the Ancient Heritage Alliance can only temporarily deceive them.

In fact, the Elf Race is currently determined to head south to rescue the Different Races Alliance, and it’s simply not possible for the Southern Expeditionary Army to return north.

Once the large army moves south into the Central Continent, the various factions within the Warhammer Kingdom will surely demand that you return the cities.

If friction arises from this, and it reaches the Human Alliance, it won’t benefit us either,” Hudson said, his head aching.

It’s all the trouble caused by asymmetric information; originally, he thought that once the Warhammer Kingdom had been baptized by the Ancient Heritage Alliance, there would hardly be any survivors left.

Unexpectedly, these different races were unreliable.

When they destroyed the foundation of the Warhammer Kingdom’s rule, they actually left so many fish that escaped the net.

Dealing with exiled nobles is easy, just pin a label on them.

Lords have the Duty to Guard the Land; if they abandon their domain and domain people and flee, their noble status can be directly revoked.

But local resistance forces are different; even if they lose cities and land, they continue to resist.

To further pursue responsibility would be too pointedly targeted.

“Marshal, we really have done our best.

The troops at my disposal now are all new recruits, and their combat strength is only slightly better than these local miscellaneous forces.

If we suddenly turn against them, I’m afraid we won’t be able to control the Warhammer Kingdom.

Of course, if the Expeditionary Army could help…”

Before Rakel could finish, Hudson immediately interrupted, “Dismiss this unrealistic thought early.

The Expeditionary Army will not be involved in this matter.

Otherwise, when it comes time to distribute the post-war benefits, wouldn’t the kingdom take the lion’s share, and what would be left for you?

Even if it’s time to turn against them, you cannot act now; you must wait until the Expeditionary Army has withdrawn.

I’m telling you to speed up, not to stir up trouble, my boy.

Often, to solve a problem, it’s not necessary to target the problem itself; you can also deal with the person creating the problem.

Guiding these resistance forces and the Exile Faction nobles to fight each other is just one way.

A better method is to turn the enemy into one of our own.

Currently, over half of the local resistance forces are led by civilians, although many are descendants of nobles, without titles, they are still civilians.

You should clearly understand what this implies!”

Abandoning the Kingdom, privately cooperating with the Moxi Duchy, is essentially still for profit.

There’s no choice, participating in the game as an individual, Hudson could secure one-seventh of the spoils.

Were he to drag the kingdom into the fray, not to mention the international conflicts it would stir, even if he truly seized a large share of spoils, how much could he actually claim?

Two points, or three?

It couldn’t be more; there are so many nobles in the kingdom, everyone has contributed.

Essentially, this war is about everyone’s life on the line, with Hudson providing the leadership.

Only after sacrificing a large number of noble soldiers was the final victory exchanged, and during the division of spoils, one cannot simply sideline them.

The best method is for the kingdom to fully look northward, to run to the northern grasslands and compete with the Orcs for territory, using the enemy’s interests as compensation for all parties.

The matter of the Warhammer Kingdom then becomes a private job.

If it fails, the risk is his to bear, and the profits his to pocket.

Even if the domestic nobles stir up trouble, the Royal Family would share the pressure.

Without concrete evidence, how could anyone hinder the combination of “King + Marshal”?

“Marshal, do you mean the Duchy will grant them titles in exchange for their loyalty?”

Rakel exclaimed.

It’s not impossible, but very likely.

For civilians, becoming a Noble is not easy, especially with such a large-scale grouping to cross social classes.

Before becoming nobles, ordinary civilians owe their loyalty to their Lord; once the Lord flees, such an obligation automatically vanishes.

Choosing anew whom to swear fealty to has no legal issues, nor will anyone nitpick about their so-called betrayal, nor is there any public pressure.

If the Moxi Duchy extends an olive branch, ninety-nine percent of civilians would not be able to resist the temptation to become nobles.

Even if the leader refuses, those among them who aspire to progress would make the decision for him.

Now with the Monarch of the Warhammer Kingdom absent, until a King is crowned, no one has the right to grant nobility.

Even if the Warhammer Kingdom’s nobles find out, the best they can offer is —family servants.

Given a choice, people would definitely prefer to directly swear fealty to a Monarch rather than acting as attendants to Major Nobles, letting others earn the difference.

“Viscount Rakel, I haven’t said anything.

How you all proceed is internal affairs of your country, and as a counselor of a foreign state, I have no right to interfere,” Hudson said, his expression unchanged.

Such a risky proposition he dared not admit.

Otherwise, once back in the kingdom, he would not have it easy in noble circles.

If Hudson had not witnessed George’s reckless boldness, he would not have suggested such a plan.

The more debts one has, the less they weigh; even using heritage knowledge to offset debts is something he could pull off,
