619: Chapter 149, Recruitment Order_4 619: Chapter 149, Recruitment Order_4 Hudson feigned ignorance as he asked this.
Duke Cavadia was left dumbstruck.
Damn it, if he knew of a solution to this, he would have come forward with it already.
Why would he beat around the bush here?
“Everyone has made immense sacrifices in this war, but it seems the benefits have been seized by the Allied Forces.
No matter how you look at it, we should have part of the profits from the front lines!”
Hudson listened to Duke Cavadia’s words with a slight smile.
Yet, the contempt in Hudson’s eyes revealed his true thoughts.
With a subtle nod to Marquis James, Hudson backed down and watched their performances silently.
“Since Your Grace has such an intention, why not leave this matter to you?”
Marquis James said with a jovial laugh.
Apart from significant matters, logistics and coordination with the Allied Forces were all handled by him as the Vice Commander, not Hudson, who was the Commander in Chief.
If they were to plan on taking food from the tiger’s mouth, such a burden would undoubtedly fall on him.
Worse still, it was an impossible task.
The Allied Forces were not easy to deal with.
Why should they share the meat that they have already consumed with them?
The ball was kicked back once again, the atmosphere in the room becoming tense.
Everyone knew that the purpose of this meeting was not merely to watch the Allied Forces reap the benefits.
It was also a deeper struggle for power.
Seeing that the war was approaching its end, the time had come to act for individual gain, shifting from mutual help and Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
Duke Cavadia’s sudden outburst was clearly premeditated.
However, Hudson wouldn’t be easily provoked.
With a slight shift, the two Vice Commanders started to quarrel.
While everyone indeed coveted the Allied Forces’ profits, that didn’t mean every Major Noble was a fool, willing to be used as pawns by Duke Cavadia.
After the ball was kicked back and forth, most of the Major Nobles who had initially held expectations started to calm down.
The profits at the front line were indeed huge, but there were many who shared them.
Even if they went there, there was no guarantee they would gain much.
For instance, can they take on a Bimon Army Corps on their own?
Not to mention an entire corps, few nobles could even handle a Cavalry Corps.
However, the reward for annihilating a Bimon Cavalry Corps was merely a hundred thousand gold coins.
It was clearly not worth risking their private armies for such a small amount.
Significant benefits come from situations when Orcs are scattered.
When the enemy appears as a corps, the risk is equal to the reward.
In comparison, it became even more critical to maintain the balance of power within the Kingdom.
After a brief attempt, Duke Cavadia fell silent.
Clearly, things were far from over.
This was merely an appetizer to the imminent political changes in the kingdom.
Many more troublesome issues would unfold in the future.
“Enough, let’s put an end to this matter!
The situation at the front line is greatly in our favor.
The extermination of the Orc Empire is within sight.
This is the common aspiration of our ancestors in the Alpha Kingdom.
No one is permitted to sabotage this.
I hope everyone here will not be blinded by small profits and influenced by foolishly greed-minded idiots to do something detrimental to the interests of the Kingdom!
The task for everyone here is to ensure the logistics for the front line Allied Forces.
Considering the practical issues, I will announce, in the name of the Logistic Department, a fixed pick-up location for the mercenaries to reduce the pressure on transportation logistics.”
Hudson bluntly imposed the responsibilities onto others, simultaneously managing to bring out the subsequent deployment plans.
Since it was time to have a fall out, he needed to diminish the enemy’s reputation.
Regardless of what Duke Cavadia thought, the label of blinded by desire had to be stamped on him for starters.
Unfortunately, Duke Cavadia was not foolish enough to refute on the spot.
Otherwise, this label would have stuck even more resolutely.
