Chapter 132: A New Era

【Ding! Congratulations on building a new job advancee to an Avalanche Guardian has been unlocked The job advancee to a Swift Wind Knight has been unlocked Please throw soive it two minutes, and a powerful warrior will leap out… Did you think I would say this? Stop drea This is the real world There’s no way such a disorderly job advanceical could exist】

【You want powerful warriors? Sure, train them yourselves, cultivate the barracks? The Star Wars next door is beckoning you】

Alright, it isn’t that easy to obtain powerful troops, but for this Systeical, to retort that I a unscientific, it seems that it is as darned as usual

This is the third day since the ‘ho’ march of victory However, not only did Diffindor’s celebration not stop, the celebration activities even expanded to be national level

“Since that’s the case, we ht as well allow the entire country to celebrate for an entire week and pardon all criminals Un, the food will be provided by the nation’s treasury so as to allow the citizens who have suffered for far too long to enjoy themselves”

This was the decision that I had oodwill of the people But at the sa the hearts of the people before the arrival of the storm

A celebration mainly consists of delicacies, alcohol, music and cultural performances, as well as all kinds of unique activities The cheers of delight, dancing and singing outside the s of the squares never stopped and the sound of the dru had reverted back to the hectic daily routine

“Going by your plan, we still have sustain the ho celebrations for another five days, not tothe celebration of the other toith food This will exhaust at least two ht even cause a shortage in the rations that was finally sufficient to last through the winter Although a kind man had sponsored us this tie in rations in the long terht up the idea, I would have gone all out to block the proposal, before finding an excuse to exile the perpetrator to the borders and have them serve as a laborer”

The sentiments of the top court lady Kelly was shared by most of the officials Used to thriftiness due to the difficult and harsh life here, they would even tear a copper coin into two to spend it over a course of two days, so how could they tolerate such an ‘extravagant waste’? If it wasn’t forit adamantly, this celebration probably couldn’t even be held

“Everyone here has suffered However, this will all be worth it On one hand, this is a way to reward the citizens Even though the harvests were pitiful this year as well, it isn’t their fault After toiling for an entire year, they should be granted a few days of rest On the other hand, I want to leave a new i will be different’ With this at the core, life will become less difficult for them”

Morale? Popularity? The will of the people? All theseforce fro the sto a beautiful future for them to look forward to was all we could do at present

Of course, changing this country fro to be done step by step

I proposed an unrealistic request to the System, and as I expected, I received an even le warrior required several years, so that troops wouldresources into a newly-created barrack? If only this held true in reality as well

“Then, the two foremost matters we have to attend to is to reconstruct the individual main divisions and to settle the problem with rations…”

A sparrow ans were still present This e hadit, and based on the primary interaction with the the politicians played a big role into why Reyne and the Mist royalty were able to persist to date

TL: The Mist Country s are still complete

A filial son can only be identified when the family is in poverty Similarly, the truly loyal subjects are the ones who stick with the country through times of difficulty Should I be thankful for the years of difficulty they have experienced? They were able to calculate out the burden that a month of celebration would have on the supply of rations next year, and settle on the locations of the new barracks within a short ten hours This was sooes ‘What Lord Saint says is correct’ for all matters, could never hope to accoovernance was, and hoell-utilized the resources are, it was still impossible to alleviate the situation when the country was that severely lacking in resources

At this moment, the conference made one feel very uncomfortable As a newco in the chair And yet, they were all treating it as though it was soh this was the way it was supposed to be… Un, the one who felt thewas, no doubt,that bunch of unreliable subordinates ofwith the ress from its boundaries, back to the topic at hand In contrast, seeing the officials seriously discussing the proble the serious faces of the ed and elderly officials as they jotted down notes on thequestions, I was te himself in the square, over and show him how others dealt withrations, there should be a stock ofin half a month If stored properly, it should be able to slon the depletion of our rations”

Kelly came to a realization

“You mean that whale?”

I nodded my head It was too much of a waste to leave that corpse of thethe proble, I decided to send the Borealis to drag it back here

Considering that it ay too big, if it was i it back as a whole, it was also possible to cut it into several pieces to shi+p it here

Even when top-tier Sea Monsters were dead, their s for a period of time, thus there was no need to fear fishes and prawns fro it within a short period of time The meat of the whale could be used as rations while there were top-class spices within its body It would be a waste to leave such a great fortune to rot in the ocean

“As for the means to resolve the proble our acquisitions, we should be able to purchase rations sufficient to last us for two to three years Thus, we should start planning for the long-term”

After all, East Mist was a siven to us were sufficient to make the emperor of the massive and powerful Auland Empire feel an ache in his heart, it was even more so an astronomical sum to East Mist It was possible to live off it for several years

At this point, the head treasurer flipped through his records and nodded his head affirmatively

“If ere to sell away those jewels and minerals, it could sustain us for five years, let alone two years”

I nodded my head in satisfaction At the same moment, I recalled the bitter face Darsos had when he was extorted by us Recently, I had heard from Rosemary that she had successfully invaded the inner circle of the Auland Empire Perhaps, this may allow me the chance to interfere in their affairs in the future

“I am really curious as to how she was able to infiltrate their inner circle of authority despite being a servant of obscure origin, and to say that it is possible to clih she refused to explain how she was able to do it, I do not think that she was lying to me Other than the fact that her phylactery was in my hands, the top classified secrets of the entire continent that she was supplying ained sufficient trust to access the on the wealthy isn’t a feasible long-terh it is sufficient for us to survive for a few years I will think of a solution for our rations So, let’s talk about the other proposal —— Expanding our military”

If it was in the other countries, pushi+ng forward an expansion in theprocess It would cause an outbreak of war between the Dove Faction and the Hawk Faction Unless the e faction, it would take at least three to five years, so a decade or two, to expand Furthermore, one had to take into account the reactions of the various fief lords when strengthening the army of the central Even if the motion were to pass by so for for military positions and authority

TL: The Dove Faction supports peacefulness, whereas the Hawk Faction refers to the nationalists

However, to the East Mist that had been struggling in the Northern Lands for a long tied for The main reason why the military wasn’t expanded in the past was due to the lack of funds and rations to sustain it

“Regardless of whether it is to deal with future wars or to protect the people from the waves of beasts in winter, we require a powerful army In the Northern Lands, one will never findthat has to be done is to restore the previous establishhts at the very core, the various battalions will be refors will reears will be as it is in the past With the old veterans leading them, the battalions should be able to take shape within ten years”

Looking around at the surroundings, the crowds nodded their head slightly in approval Their eyes were filled with enthusiasm After all, the Mist citizens had already suffered the bitterness of a lackingas there were sufficient resources, rebuilding a powerfulof

“In reality, the will of the younger generation to protect their country is strong The numbers who actively applied to join the istic capabilities As long as the supplies are able to keep up, along with the attraction of the legendary troops, there should be no problein the recruitment of the army as soon as the celebration ends If we do not have sufficient equip first Let’s first get the situation kicking before we proceed on to the specifics We o training before war starts”

There was so behind hness believe that war is imminent?”

“Un, you all should have heard of it The eternal Sacred War is about to occur again, and the battle between Auland and the Water Elementals and Seafolk is just the prelude to it The unrest doesn’t just stop there”

Speaking of the eternal Sacred War, the faces of those in the roo another as so else They barely had a few days of peace; as trouble knocking once again?

“A few days ago, I received a confidential intelligence report that the Blackwings in the South have allied themselves with the Wind Ele west and, along its way, has plundered quite a fens Even the capitals of two doms have been a victim of theirs As for the north…”

The moment I spoke of the north, everyone’s attention focused on me After all, this was the ut that happened here concerned their safety No matter what, they had to be wary of whatever happened here

I sighed helplessly Were the Mist citizens really condemned to a life filled with catastrophe? They had chased away the Beasto and barely had a few days of peace when new problems arrived

“…In the north, there seems to be quite a few tribes that have received the support of the Earth Elemental God and become powerful in an instant That fellow proclaiht now, they should be in theby their past history, it should be asouth”

TL: Khan -> The supreme leader of nohness, I a, but…”

“This is a destructive catastrophe! Your Highness, is your source of inforhness, are the Beasthlands or the plains? Have the other countries of the Northern Lands received the news yet?”

As expected, the urative bomb was thrown, the conference room burst into commotion

The Northern Beasthland Beastraphical terrains of which were complex Over 70 of the Beastmen of the Northern Lands resided there On the other hand, while the Beastmen of the Holen Plains may be fewer in number, their population was er they posed is significantly greater

If it was the Beasthlands, there were at least a few countries who stood between us and them On the other hand, the Plains Beastmen share a part of the border with them And due to historical reasons, the several dozen kilometers of the boundary shared with them had never been peaceful

Of course, this is still a positive situation If it was the previous borders of the Mist Country, with the long border between both sides, the pressure would be even greater In these two hundred years, the rise of a highland country, the Suya Kingdodom, which were both ruled by those who share the bloodline of the barbarians, had split the great plains of the Beast the pressure

By the way, these two countries were also the only two of the seven countries in the Northern Lands that have amiable relations with the East Mist Communal Country Other than the fact that they were viewed as a ‘Nation of Barbarians’, their countries were also built on the lands of foreign races, and they did not annex the land of the original Mist Country The lack of a historical feud a them formed the basis for their amiable relationshi+p

As for the other five of the Seven Countries of the Northern Lands, most of them were founded by the fief lords from the south Some of them were even relatives of the seventeen destroyed countries, so how could the relationshi+p between them and the Mist be cordial… At the very least, unless it was absolutely required,to head to this ‘Nation of Barbarians’

The current chaotic situation of the Northern Lands was as such; ‘The three countries of the Northern Lands where enous population of the north lives (There was also an ancient Fengqi Country on top of Rhodes Kingdodoh its royalty stemmed from the south)’; ‘The other four countries founded by Southerners (of which Sleuweir Kingdo of the Mist Country They eitiions that weren’t sarded by the other massive human countries as barbarians; furthermore, the continuous conflict between the various countries of the north had caused this land of bitter frost to become the frontier and a place of exile for huions, quite a few are ‘lands of freedoanizations

“…Unexpectedly, this intelligence was supplied by the Elf Kingdo to thedohland Beastmen; it seems to be a tribe called Blood Axe Tribe”

“Pui, that bunch of long-ears can’t wait for us to grind ourselves thin with those Beastmen However, just as usual, ere excluded from it all”

“Hah, Sleuweir is in for misfortune Those bastard traitors deserve it”
