Chapter 129, Suspicion_2

Even if the locusts were exterminated, the eggs scattered across the land could still be reborn from fire next year. It is nearly impossible to exterminate them completely.

Even if we react in time to prevent a locust plague, these grasshoppers scattered everywhere pose a threat to agricultural production.

If things go as they are, everyone might have to start eating grasshoppers from next year.

Under the situation of a significant reduction in food production, taking extreme measures is necessary.

After touring his domain with Belsden and exterminating all the large-scale locust clusters, Hudson returned to the Manor House.

"What happened? Why is the disaster in my domain so severe?"

To be honest, Hudson was quite satisfied with the disaster management in his territory. Although many problems had arisen, overall, his plan had been fully executed.

In the context of a locust plague, not allowing the crops to be entirely consumed by locusts, can be considered a success.
