Of course, these are just thoughts confined to the shadows. This isn't some comedy show—how could the Kingdom Marshal be tasked with solving a case? Who's going to the front lines to fight the Orcs then?
Don't be fooled by how the Orcs act like fools handing themselves over to Hudson; with a different general, they might've turned the tables instead.
Having suffered losses in this regard, Caesar IV wouldn't dare risk it again. If the current advantageous situation were ruined, the furious Nobles could drag him down from the throne in an instant.
At this moment in the Alpha Kingdom, exterminating the Orcs takes precedence over everything else; everything else is secondary.
A hint is all that's needed. Whether he can drag the mastermind behind the scenes into the light, Hudson is entirely uncertain.
The reason is simple—there are far too many suspects.
