The extent to which the wall was undermined stunned Hudson. He had done absolutely nothing but a few subtle suggestions, and yet so many people had flocked to him.
However, when he put himself in their shoes and weighed the pros and cons, he understood why the descendants of the Northern nobles made that choice.
Going back home to fight in the war meant packing up now and enduring until the end of the war. It was high risk and low reward, if they lost, they will all be wiped out by the Orcs.
Viscount West, the one best suited to lead, was so heavily suppressed by Hudson that he lost hope and fail apart.
It didn't matter if it happened normally, but at this critical time, how can anyone trust him with their lives and fortunes?
With no other choice, everyone had to follow Hudson. At least Hudson had a good reputation, was able to fight well, and was pretty lucky.
