‘Available developments? Is this a new ability?’

Milton’s heart thumped as he observed his territory’s stat

His population had doubled, plus lumber and fur had been added to his main exports He had already expected that much at least – the Harmon lands had expansive forests, and by practice sold the lumber provided by these woods as well as the pelts of the anih the hide exports were not large in quantity, they were known to still be rather lucrative as the fur ofwomen

But more than that, what really allured Milton was this new ‘Available Developments’ ability

As far as he are, the Harmon Viscounty did not operate any mines – and yet a ory

In other words…!

‘Is that how this ability works?’

Milton’s lips naturally curled upwards into a sold or silveras the mine was successfully prospected and constructed, it was a trade that was bound to bring significant commercial benefits

“It’s fine, it’s fine Winter is slowly but surely co within the year at the least”

“But Count Rosscaiz and Viscount Rosswai still remain”

“I see Then I shall trust my lord’s words and drill the soldiers to my utmost”

“Sure Go ham”

“Go ham?”

“Oh? Er… I mean just do your best”

“Yes, understood”

Milton’s ed

After issuing his orders to Jero to him as he handed over the two documents stamped with Viscount Harht?”

The first document that Milton passed on was an ordinary surrender document of the defeat and a formal transfer of the Viscount’s territory The real point of interest was the second document

“This is… Wow, I see”

Max estruck as he read the document As far as he could see, this was a sure trick up their sleeves

“It’s iht time to utilize this, as I’m sure you’re aware”

“Yes, I’ll make effective use of this when that time co roo an offer to the mercenaries that were eht even though they were our enemies as late as yesterday?”

“It’ll be fine Pay thely That’s why they’re mercenaries, after all”
