Chapter 385 Episode 383: A Reliable Person

Heavy rain damage was occurring everywhere.

Especially in the evacuation village where the evacuees were gathered together, most of the buildings became unusable.

We are mobilizing the empty knights to focus our efforts on rebuilding, but we are struggling.

The knights aren't slow.

The evacuees who are helping us are slow.

Even though it has taken shape. Such emotions distract them.

Everyone has a dark look on his face.

"That's not good...."

"Ladies and gentlemen, it was sinking..."

Returning to the Marquis of Zweik Mansion with Fine, I was being briefed on the situation everywhere.

But everywhere reports are similar or approaching.

The Marquis of Zweik is not the only one with an evacuation village.

Many were made in the territory where the damage was minimal.

But everywhere was devastated.

Life was saved. It was a pleasure, but hope for life was lost.

Anxiety about what will happen next comes first, and I'm not happy that I'm alive.

"Send an immediate message to each lord. I'm ordering you to be generous in protecting the refugees. I guarantee it."

"Is that okay?

"Now is not the time to spare."

However, this is also a double-edged sword.

We have no basis.

I'm just renting out the Marquis de Zweik mansion, and I don't have anything original.

The Marquis of Zweik would have done it, but there are limits to the Marquis of Zweik.

After a big fight, anyway.

Food stockpiles are also low. No nobleman can afford to take refuge.

When will our reinforcements arrive?

Depending on that, the resentment of the evacuees will come to me.

"It should be time to get there... Sebastian. Finn headed for the Duke of Rheinfeld. Still not coming back?

"Yes, still."

Sebastian replied with a little disappointment.

I thought the Duke of Rheinfeld would move quickly.

That's why I sent Finn.

But I still can't see any movement.

It doesn't mean you haven't done anything.

Maybe something happened.

"It's not as good as I thought...."

"I'll write to my father!

"The western nobles support the battle against the Kingdom. They can't afford it."

Even if they don't participate directly, they should be able to feed them.

Even if it is not as clogged as in the north, it can be considered critical.

We cannot afford to sacrifice the West for the North.

"But...."

"If you need me, I'll ask my father."

It would be moving without asking.

We will not be able to disrupt our relationship with the North, which is in the process of being restored.

But when will it be?

"Silver food, if you want."

I can't replace my stomach.

We have to do it for charity.

While consolidating that determination, I moved on to respond to a large number of messages.

■ ■ ■

A week from heavy rain.

In the north, the dragon knights of the Marquis of Grisner were flying around as a message.

But what they were carrying was the screams of the refugees and the lords who were carrying them.

"It's time... for the Marquis of Zweik."

"I know. I rather had it."

In pain, the Marquis of Zweik continued to assist the nobles everywhere.

However, if I use it, it will decrease. That is the truth.

We can no longer afford any territory.

"Think about your hands. Give me a minute."

When I gave up because I had to.

A message came rushing in to block my words.

"Report! A merchant has arrived from the east!

A merchant? Some of them knew about the business opportunities. Accept it. "

"That's it... I'm not alone! Just look outside!

That's what the telegram will do to me.

After I met Charles, I followed the message.

Then move from the Mansion to the Wall.

There were dozens of carriages congested there.

"What is this...!? Al called you!?

"Is that so? It's not me."

All I did was write to someone I could count on.

I just asked for your help.

It's a courageous story, but you owe me.

And he did everything in his power to repay his debt.

No one can be so reliant.

"Hey, let me through!

"Hey, wait a minute! We're not ready yet!

"Please, it's true! Almost all the merchants in the east are coming! We're just a part of it!

"All the merchants in the east!?

As the knights were soft, I saw a white flying dragon in my sight.

And underneath it are many horsemen.

"So, Your Highness! The army! The army is coming from the east! The number is over 20,000!

"I can't believe we have 20,000 nobles in the east...."

"You can't move 20,000 knights in one house. I gathered them together."

"Working with other nobles? But gathering that many knights in a short time....."

"It's possible. There are no nobles in the east who owe him nothing. And the merchants, of course."

So I was able to come on this scale.

It would be inconvenient if the army came alone. Because we can't afford it.

So I moved the merchants first.

He's as smart as ever.

With that in mind, I leave the main gate to prepare for my pick-up.

Then one of the knights emerged from the army.

Short and slender, it's hard to admire how cool he is.

Still, he pushed the horse in front of me with dignity.

And kneel before me.

"On behalf of the Eastern Lords, Yurgen von Reinfeldt greets His Highness Arnold. I joined His Highness with the merchants and 20,000 knights of the east."

"Thank you for coming. Duke of Rheinfeld"

"Your Highness asked me to go wherever I wanted."

That brings a good smile to the Duke of Rheinfeld.

The Duke of Rhinefeldt looks at Charles on his side.

"I see you as Marquis Zweik. My name is Duke of Jurgen von Reinfeldt. I'll see you later."

"I am Marquis Charlotte von Zweik. Thank you for your support."

"Never mind. Our eastern aristocracy was not involved in the northern civil unrest. If you fail to cooperate, you will be cleared here. We pay merchants upfront. Let's start by reassuring the victims."

"Well, an advance...? Everything...?

"It was my doctrine to spend the money I saved heavily."

The Duke of Rheinfeld laughs.

There's nothing to be proud of.

But we moved almost all the merchants in the east.

The money spent will be nothing.

Probably a level of money that Charles had never seen before.

"Duke of Rheinfeld. I'm sorry for being so kind to you....."

"Rest assured. They're coming with us."

Lord Rheinfeld looks back at the knights.

Then came out of the army an unbalanced, short man.

Dwarf.

This is the key to the reconstruction of the north. With their help, the building will be free of anxiety.

"About a hundred people followed me first. The rest will arrive with King Dwarf at a later date."

I'm sorry about everything.

"That's our dialogue. I apologize for being late. I hurried as fast as I could, but it was slower than I thought."

Moving people of this size can take months if they are bad.

He said he'd come in a few weeks, but it's too late from the Duke.

He's a big guy.

"So... where's my older sister...?

I ask questions while watching my surroundings.

Lizzie's sister, who is headed by a lousy woman, should be coming with us.

You don't have to come all the way.

But I can't see my sister and the army.

"His Highness Rezelotte led a thousand elites to the northern border. They're looking down."

"Ah... I see..."

You can see Lizzie's sister on her face.

Are you motivated enough?

"How are you, by the way?

"I was in a good mood on the way. Well, he's in a bad mood, but he's beautiful, so it's hard to judge."

"I don't think many people are that easy to understand...."

Yes, as we entered the Duke of Rheinfeld, we moved on to accepting merchants.
