Once chaos begins, it cannot be easily stopped. The deeper a force is involved in exploring The Kingdom of God, the greater its current losses.

Not every faction has the adaptability of the Alpha Kingdom, and certainly not every faction has someone cheating. Mistakes in high-level decision-making and loopholes during execution leading to widespread rebellion are common occurrences.

The Falcon Kingdom is the most miserable, and other major coastal forces have not fared any better. Geographical convenience allowed them to gain the earliest exploration rights to The Kingdom of God, but also dealt them the harshest blow.

National governments are too busy caring for themselves, and the plan to send troops to assist Queen Marisol in restoring her nation has been repeatedly delayed.

Small countries cannot be relied upon, so the duty of sending troops ultimately falls to a group of major powers.

To better fulfill international obligations, the Alpha Kingdom's troop count was directly raised to fifty thousand.

In return, the Human Alliance will coordinate the nations unable to dispatch troops to share part of the expedition's costs.

Not only did the Alpha Kingdom increase its troop numbers, but the Iberia Kingdom and the Frank Empire also raised their forces to seventy thousand and eighty thousand respectively, to cope with the changing situation.

With the troop deployment of several other major countries remaining unchanged, the total force dispatched by the nations of the Human Race was fixed at four hundred thousand.

At the same time, The Sixth Tribute Brigade and The Seventh Offering Brigade will act together with the army.

Along with the experts accompanying the armies of each country and the strongmen of the Falcon Kingdom, there are over eighty Sanctuary Powerhouses.

The Falcon Kingdom is controlled by vampires, but that doesn't mean everyone is a vampire.

Under the banner of the Human Alliance to help Queen Marisol restore her nation, Pathfinder Parties are everywhere.

The Allied Forces have an absolute advantage. In such a war devoid of any challenge, the biggest trouble is coordinating relations within the Allied Forces.

Winning is expected; even minor setbacks invite criticism.

As the Human Marshal, Hudson would have been the best choice to lead the troops.

However, seeing that the generals of the Frank Empire and the Iberia Kingdom wanted this opportunity to showcase themselves, Hudson conveniently let others take the position.

...

"Duke, a letter for you from the lord."

Hearing Tom's words, Hudson was slightly surprised. To his memory, this was the first time Redman had written to him in recent years.

Since retreating from the forefront into a behind-the-scenes role, Redman no longer involved himself in various trivial matters.

Aside from daily training and spending time with his grandchildren, he travels around, occasionally visiting old friends.

Thanks to his superior genes, Redman not only has many children but even more grandchildren.

The kin, old friends, and relatives of the Koslow Family are numerous, so the old man's life is quite fulfilling, leaving him no time to bother with Hudson.

Taking the letter and opening it, Hudson's expression changed dramatically.

Originally thinking it was some trouble, he never expected it to be the Rocknard Family taking advantage of Redman's drunkenness to forcibly return their ancestral land.

Receiving the fiefdom documentations openly at a banquet, naturally, it had to be acknowledged; otherwise, Redman wouldn't survive in the circle of Nobles.

After a brief surprise, Hudson quickly understood.

On his last trip to the Rocknard Family, his performance had frightened them.

In fact, Duke Torsten had wanted to resolve the ancestral land dispute years ago.

However, Hudson showed little interest, acting very indifferently, and didn't want to go to great lengths to redeem it.

With the reversal of power between the two sides, the Rocknard Family was clearly unable to hold on.

So they decided to give back the Koslow Family's ancestral land first and discuss it later.

All the direct descendants died back then, and only the older generation in the family remembered it; the younger generation didn't have much attachment.

If they had done this over a decade ago, before the Koslow Family rose to prominence, the grudge could have been wiped clean.

After all, while the family was at a disadvantage, no one would deliberately promote hatred—only choose to dilute it.

As it developed to this point, things have changed.

The clan elders had long passed on the hatred to the next generation, and the almost cessation of trade for the Rocknard Family was jointly caused by the Koslow Family and The Royal Family.

Cutting off their financial path, it's impossible for the Rocknard Family not to harbor resentment. Now, it's doubtful anyone would believe if they said the feud is resolved.

The effect is certainly there; after returning the ancestral land, Hudson can no longer publicly target the Rocknard Family.

For example, last time's mistaken injury wave cannot happen again.

Using a forbidden spell to annihilate remaining spirits may seem like a show of importance, but those aware of the two families' feud know it's an overblown issue.

Without triggering a public outcry, mainly because the accident didn't happen on the battlefield, Hudson's role was merely as the head of the investigation team.

The identity is different, so the measure of actions is also different.

"Tell the old man he needn't worry. I will handle the aftermath."

Hudson said with a calm smile.

It's also good to ease relations a bit. In recent years, the Nobles of the North have been tormented enough, and if this continues, who knows what they might rashly attempt.

The hatred has accumulated for over a hundred years, so it doesn't matter if it drags on for a few more years. Being able to watch the enemy's decline is also a kind of happiness.

...

Orc Empire.

While various races were busy clearing hidden dangers, there was a change in the Orc Prairie.

Before the purge could begin, the rulers of many tribes were replaced.

Under the law of the jungle where might makes right, favorable conditions were created for invaders to seize power.
