King-Chapter 1095 - 161, Imagining the Future_2

If what one desires cannot be obtained under the existing order, then the inherent order must be shattered.

For the stability of the ruling group, the beneficiaries tacitly restrict the number of Transcendents.

"Knowing full well that the Snow Moon Territory will turn into a River of Blood, there’s still so many rushing to join the fray. It seems that everyone has extraordinary confidence in Hudson!

However, with the completion of New Moon Port, supplies can be obtained from the sea. With Hudson’s command capabilities and the Kingdom’s two hundred thousand Elite forces stationed there, this game of chess might actually have a chance of being won.

Perhaps our Clan should reconsider our stance on the Near East Region!

Is the future of the Kingdom really to the east?"

Governor Piers’ lament resonated with the old Steward. They, the old guards, were increasingly finding the current situation difficult to comprehend.

Under normal circumstances, everyone should have avoided the Near East Region like the plague. When the territories were being distributed previously, they took on these domains reluctantly for the greater good.

Originally, the intent was to commit only a portion of our strength to use the Near East as a buffer and increase the strategic maneuverability of the Kingdom, but the situation quickly spiraled out of control.

With Hudson’s assertive takeover, discussions about Near East strategy continuously heated up within the Kingdom.

The passionate young Kingdom Aristocrats were the first to join in this game, especially those who received domains. They each mobilized their networks of influence, striving to prepare for the development of the Near East.

Clan shipyard orders are now scheduled two years into the future. Everyone is fervently preparing for the development of the Near East as if possessed.

Hudson is the instigator of this tide.

Their concept is very simple: as long as Snow Moon Territory can be held, then their own domains behind it would be secure.

Attacking by detours and penetrating deeply into enemy territory is out of the question. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

With Hudson, the Kingdom’s War God, holding the territory in front, which Orc Leader would dare take the risk and venture deep into enemy territory alone?

"Lord, there’s no need for us to rush into this. If the Near East strategy succeeds, then the next hunting ground will be the entire Orc Prairie.

Such a huge piece of cake cannot be consumed by one or two Major Nobles alone; those who join late can still get ahead.

Let those enthusiastic Nobles explore the way first. After the situation becomes clear, it’s not too late for us to join in the effort with our whole Clan!"

Steward Gadley’s views are currently shared by many Major Nobles.

They have invested in the Near East strategy, but not fully committed. Those with extensive businesses and large Clans have a significant margin for error and no need to gamble their entire family fortunes.

...

Similar scenarios are playing out in many Major Clans. No one knows when, but the Mountain Domain has become a barometer for the Kingdom Aristocrats.

Hudson, who has stepped into the limelight, can’t help but have his every move interpreted from various perspectives, no matter how low-profile he keeps.

There’s support, bandwagoning, and criticism, but none of the external turmoil affects the normal operation of the Soldier Training Academy.

The students who received the Life Essence had no time to pay attention to their classmates’ envy and, after adjusting their conditions, one after another, began their secluded cultivation.

Success and failure are daily occurrences within the academy, causing a multitude of onlookers to tremble with fear at the spectacle.

It turns out that receiving the Life Essence is just the first step to success. If one cannot awaken the Seed of Life, they’ll still fall back to the mortal realm.

For a time, the students of the Magic Academy became the object of everyone’s envy.

Although the probability of becoming a Mage Master is even lower, Magic Apprentices too can secure a good job!

Being Workers, even if it’s for a Lord, is a status countless ordinary people scramble for but can scarcely reach.

Jamie has recently been quite troubled. Over two thousand students were eliminated at once, and one of his roommates was among the unfortunate to be expelled from the academy.

He still vividly remembers his roommate’s look of helplessness as he left. Unfortunately, the academy rules are strict, and those at the bottom must leave.

"Dix, do you think we can persevere to the end and get the Life Essence to leap into becoming esteemed Knight Masters?"

Jamie, unable to hold it in any longer, expressed his concerns to his friend for the first time.

"I don’t know!

Our rankings are only mediocre, and who knows when those behind us will catch up and overtake us.

I’ve heard that those ahead in grades are all Noble Children. They’ve eaten well since young and are more robust than us. Each has been trained as a Knight from an early age; they are simply not in our league.

Some of those who received the Life Essence have already become Knight Masters. It’s said that they will soon move up to the second year and will no longer attend classes with us.

If only we had top-quality talents; we could surely rise from behind and surpass these people!"

Dix spoke indignantly.

The academy has sealed the students’ records, and the results of the aptitude test are completely confidential. Whether it’s top-quality or low-quality, currently everyone is treated the same.

However, many things don’t need to be spelled out; even daily training can reveal the truth. Students with better gifts clearly progress faster in their cultivation.

But now, during the basic training stage, the advantage of aptitude is not very pronounced. Those with low-quality talents can still have a chance to outperform the mediocre ones if they work hard.

With no public records, no one dares to be complacent. According to the academy’s public announcements, among the first batch of students eliminated, there were not only those with mediocre talents but also those with top-quality talents.
