Loria rubbed her eyes and woke up from a nightmare where she lay in the basement where Renault had imprisoned her, continuing the dream that haunted her - in which she was sold to work in a distant other world to pay off her debts because she couldn't pay it back.

She finally knew why people said that the heavy cavalry was very expensive.

She wanted to return it, but sending someone to Xueman to negotiate with the Imperial merchants didn't lead to it - they were only willing to buy the second-hand equipment at a discount, and it was better to keep it than that...... At least when you are desperate, you still have the capital to pay for it.

But when I thought of suddenly incurring a huge debt, I couldn't help but want to hide under the quilt and cry.

Simply turn against the Empire and lead the Crusaders to destroy them! Loria jumped up from the bed, she even had the courage to fight an empire in order not to pay back!

Later, she pulled down her little head and sat on the edge of the bed as if she had lost her soul.

Reputation, which is more important than the life of a businessman, cannot be abandoned!

War is a game of burning money, and it is better for her to adapt to life in debt as soon as possible...... Damn it! At least at the beginning, some financial means should be used to make the debts in the name of the Scarlet Crusaders!

She's about to start shedding like Ahri!

She briefly became the leader of the Council of Tirisfa, but it was much easier to be the titular leader of a loose organization of six than to manage over a thousand, fearing that the vampires would spread too quickly and harm ordinary people, while at the same time covering their tracks and preventing her companions from being discovered; She also had to consider all sorts of military proposals, and make her own choices after listening to a whole body of opinions that seemed to all make sense but were diametrically opposed; She has to worry about whether everyone is well fed and clothed, whether they are treated fairly, and whether they have a grudge against her...... Now, she still has to keep in mind that large amount of debt!

But there were some good things happening, perhaps because she had been so busy lately, and she hadn't experienced nightmares in a long time - not the nightmare of debt, but the nightmares that were all too real.

She wandered the almost lightless underground, first as a warehouse and later converted into a secret prison. Recently, Loria had asked her to make it her office, and she patted her face at the thought that the restoration of the nearby chapel should be completed. I casually put a piece of clothing on my pajama jacket and decided to go out for a walk.

At dawn, the gardens were empty, the chapel was now functional, and the area around it had been let down. Loria wanted to remember who was in charge of the guard, but she couldn't remember anything - the management was still chaotic, I don't know if it was a mistake or someone was lazy, there was no one patrolling here at all.

She felt the urge to leave everything behind and run away, but it quickly subsided, and she reviewed her recent state and came to the conclusion that Reynaud and his brutal rule had long been at the heart of all people's lives, suddenly giving people the possibility of freedom. Of course, it can be uncomfortable and confusing.

Time will erase everything, and she believes that she will bring a better life to her compatriots...... Taking her time, she secretly rejected several of the radical tactics she was scheduled to execute...... Let's go see another big annoyance.

The dense buildings of the Scarlet Monastery are full of alleys and strange doors, and if you had not lived here for a long time and had the power to move freely, you would not have been able to figure out these complicated routes, let alone the secret doors with different functions hidden in inconspicuous corners, even the architectural style here fits the unique atmosphere of the Crusaders - eerie and terrifying.

Many people were reluctant to support her policy of 'indulgence', and the nobles who had initially stood by her side were particularly vehemently opposed...... And they are not wrong about what they say, the crusaders are armies, the monasteries are fortresses, and the walls are full of terrifying monsters. To relax oneself is to bring about one's own destruction.

Alas......

She felt a sense of powerlessness, the environment around her limited everyone, if only this was a rich and peaceful land.

However, it is barren and dangerous, and for many years it has been carrying a population that it simply cannot feed.

If only we could move people living in the mountains out of the country...... But the Crusaders also lost their most important soldiers...... Putting them in the vast sky will only make them escape. If there is a place of abundance but isolation from the surroundings......

She's pinching her face, and lately she's been wondering 'what if...... It's good's sentence structure, most of which are unrealistic delusions, and there are no conditions for realization at all...... She walked into a narrow cul-de-sac and knocked on the dirty, crumbling black wooden door.

First the sound of a dog barking, then the sound of an old man scolding. Immediately afterwards, the one-eyed old man with a wicked face opened the door, and the hound that followed him barked even louder, and it was evident that neither the man nor the dog welcomed her coming.

For a moment, Loria wanted to bury them all.

Ignoring the old man's angry yelling and the dog, who hated her but did not dare to come near her, he pushed the table away with ease, opened a secret door and went underground.

There are also many supporters of Renault hidden in the army, who are neither coerced nor have any grudges against Loria, but simply agree with Renault's approach - in order to destroy the undead, everything should be treated cruelly.

She didn't bother to reason with those guys whose heads were filled with hatred, but she also had to prevent them from doing some excesses...... Hmph, who would go near that annoying and dangerous one-eyed old man?

At the end of the tunnel, a burly Mills nodded to her and retreated into the cave, making way for Loria's petite size.

The passage narrowed and widened, and after several locks had been lifted, a small room at the end was filled with delicate weapons and piles of gold coins, but Loria paid no attention to them, muttering to herself who had come up with the idea to hide it so closely...... She walked over to a newly built wall and stood still, then melted into the mist and burrowed into the fingertip-sized holes.

The murky air made her a little sick, and Mills cleaned it on time, but she couldn't expect the rough man with the same talent as Loria to clean it up.

Dim torches hung on the walls, providing the most basic light for the chamber, and Loria didn't need them, but the people here probably did...... She approached a man lying motionless on the ground, and a sour smell came over her face.

Well...... After all, not everyone can go home and take a shower every day like her, even in detention.

Loria took two steps back slightly, put on an innocent smile, and shouted softly:

"Uncle, I'm here to visit you." (To be continued.) )
