Witnessing the golden fields of Grosso Plain engulfed in thick smoke and a sea of flames meant that Rhode’sto do with hihth the Sulfur River had lasted less than half an hour, it had spread across the entire far the flaion had been shrouded in billows of thick, gray s toward the surrounding forested hills for the next four days The hard-pressed Reforuish the flaration continued for 15 hly washed away by a rainstorm that came late

At this point, the Reforruesome 15 days, not only had the foodstuff reserves been coions had also been dragged into the calaers that escaped from the Necro a hopeless future in despair These refugees posed a huge problem for the Reformist Party and it wasn’t all there was to it They were also notified of a grievous news Perhaps due to the long conflagration, the soil in Grosso Plain had turned dry and infertile In other words, the fertile foodstuff source of the South had been coe six , ‘it never rains but it pours’, goes, the Reforht that this was all to their sufferings

Frightening ru the civilians Most were criticizing the Refor with the Necromancer It wasn’t a secret anymore that the reinforcements crumbled entirely to the Undead Army’s raid when they headed into Grosso Plain Many of thehly defeated without putting up a fight If it weren’t for a brave Battle Angel who fought for the with the enemies, perhaps the South would have been reduced to a devastated land for the Undeads

The Reformist Party had taken precautions to prohibit soldiers fro ‘false’ ruin with, andtheh the Reformist Party had put up prohibitions everywhere, the civilians froions were notified of the truth quickly Moreover, the dazzling, silver-whitish light column was the best proof in their eyes

Besides, the first worrying signs of a situation for the Reforration

And that was the beginning of the civilians’ faltering trust toward their position and authority

The civilians had opposing views about the Reformist Party’s declaration of independence Most of them didn’t protest violently because they lacked favorable i’s Party under years of influence and the promise of a better future With the support of the Country of Light, they would become a prosperous, wealthy, peaceful, and independent country Since their benefits weren’t threatened by the war, they didn’t see the need to oppose if everything was going to turn out as perfectly as the Refors didn’t turn out that way?

This was the consequence

The Grosso refugees detested the Refor military troops to fend off the Undead Creatures i havoc in their hoh the Reformist Party had explained that they lacked manpower due to the battle in the front line, how could they expect the refugees to resist them? You used the resources for an internecine strife instead of fighting off the Undead Creatures for us? What kind of logic was that? Also, the one that rescued us was a Battle Angel! The King’s Party laid down an old grudge to help us, so why can’t you?!

Of course, members of the Reformist Party called on the civilians to open their eyes wide to the King’s Party’s conspiracy This was an operation that they had carried out with the Undead Creatures in tandem We should calh their words tended toward the truth, these words were nothing but crap to the refugees who had lost their fa The Reforh the King’s Party was truly a troublesoroup, no one had ever heard that they would be involved with the Undead Creatures The refugees i responsibilities

Of course, these victiroup and the Reformist Party didn’t need to care for thenore them since the victims had refused to listen However, there were indirect victiard

The price of foodstuff in the surrounding regions had suddenly risen several tier trading A bread that used to be worth three silver coins cost two gold coins now and there were li sold every day

This caused dissatisfaction aradually increased After all, they had not seen anything beneficial about breaking away fro problems The threat of the Undead Creatures, dark clouds above the battlezones, continuous conflagration, the rise in foodstuff prices, and the filthy, troublesoht unrest to the social order of the city

Humans were materialistic creatures Politicians could choose to look at things fro-term perspective, but civilians werearound them They thirsted for peace, harmony, and a prosperous environment They didn’t live for the so-called freedom or honorable crap… You want to talk about your ideal when you can’t even feed us properly?</eees, they needed precautions to deal with the increasing co on as a conflict in their internal department since it was ’s Party The nobles hoped that the merchants would hand out the foodstuff that they had stored up to improve the situation But the merchants refused to because the foodstuff was their private asset and shouldn’t be used for eency relief, which should be the responsibility of the Southern Parliament If the Southern Parliament really need the foodstuff, they had to purchase them with the market price! If the merchants had to offer their private assets for the civilians for free, as the difference between the Southern Parlia’s Party?!

There were even ru that the parlia a solesters They finally came to a consensus to purchase foodstuff from the merchants and they would seek assistance froht (They thanked their lucky stars that the coastal shi+pping routes weren’t sealed off) Also, they had decided to open to the public s them to Grosso to stabilize the situation The South would have no more foodstuff reserves and this was all that they could do for now

The Reformist Party had a swift and decisive punish the Necrooat, criticized for not fulfilling the responsibility of protecting the people and lost his duties to cohold In an afternoon, they ment in court to sentence General Michael into ies of dereliction of duty and failure to command in battle This was the only decision that they had toward the Necroees were extremely dissatisfied, but what else could they do? It was apparent that the Refor with this topic after sending General Michael to jail and the civilians had no choice but to accept it
