Chapter 77, The Unsuccessful Show of Power_1

"What's the matter? Why are you all looking so glum? Who are you putting on that show for?"

Baron Hudson asked irritably.

Having just welcomed a wave of refugees, Baron Hudson, who was pleased with the increased labor force, suddenly noticed that his subordinates' mood was off.

Subordinates should behave like subordinates. It's utterly unacceptable to act out in front of a superior. What if news of it got out? Wouldn't people say he lacks control over his men?

Seeing Baron Hudson's anger, Tom, who was closest to him, quickly composed himself and replied, "My lord, we can't continue with the task you assigned us!

We don't know who leaked the news, but numerous nobles came out to seize people. Soldiers are stationed everywhere, grabbing any refugees they see.

We encountered several blockades on the road. It was only thanks to your reputation that we got through."
