The Oro region now replaces the city of Tacoma and is an important hub for the southeastern part of the Basharan Empire to the Idak region.

However, some time ago, due to the incident in Tacoma City, this hub was abolished for a long time, and even after hearing that there were a large number of casualties in the city, the caravans did not dare to come, and at that time, the Black Feather Knights were constantly investigating the local situation.

For a long time, the trade between the two places was at a standstill, and now suddenly the news came.

"What the hell is going on? What's wrong on the other side of the border. ”

In the office of the Earl's Court, Sean had Joseph on his feet, along with Aslant and Harry.

Joseph looked back at Sean, then handed over a letter.

It's been opened!

As the highest general in the area, Joseph was originally in charge of these things, and if he didn't encounter any problems, he wouldn't be in a hurry to come to him.

Sean took out the letter and read it...... It was a report from the border guards, who said that some of the Edaks had been wandering the border, and that more and more people had gathered, and that they looked like soldiers from there. Although they had not completely crossed the border, they had been protecting the caravan that had come from Aedak.

It's understandable that the border is protected by the military, but it's a bit of a problem to keep sending troops over.

Moreover, during this period of time, the city of Oro was being newly built, and during this sensitive period, it actually increased troops on the border......

"This was sent two days ago, and if it is according to the letter, it may have become more in the past few days. Joseph said.

Sean gave the letter to the other two to see.

"And did your troops take action?"

"I have sent troops to reinforce the border...... But ......"

"But what?" Sean asked, seeing that the other party was a little hesitant!.

"It's not a big deal, it's some time ago. Lord Earl also knew that Oro City originally belonged to Tacoma City, and when the Tacoma incident happened, the soldiers of Oro City also went to that area in large numbers, and now many people still have a shadow of that place, Tacoma City is now estimated to have been evacuated, and that area is a ghost town at the moment, and it is difficult for our soldiers to sit in town without a good supply line. ”

To put it bluntly, there is no meaning of camp.

In fact, the best camp in that area is the one where Sean and Frelia were together when he pretended to be a mercenary, and there are all kinds of underground passages and complete military equipment, and if that place is abandoned, the loss will be too great.

Although Sean doesn't know what it has become now, but without the support of that kind of camp, it is difficult for the border area to build up a lot of troops, and it is too expensive to expand temporarily?

"Or can we control their merchants? If I'm not mistaken, the region of Edak is called Bahahama, a large city in the Gobi, where there are also strong armies and rich lands, such a city may not necessarily fight against the Basharan Empire, maybe just want to take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"What good can Oro City give him, it is the greatest benefit that we have traded with them for so many years!" After all, Joseph did not have the far-sighted knowledge of Harry, and Oro City was not a soft persimmon in terms of facts, and there was the Basalan Empire behind him.

"Like Tacoma City? Isn't that place in ruins right now. The other party may want to. ”

"How is it possible! Even if the city is deserted, it is our land, maybe it can be rebuilt in the future, how can it be given to him. The words of the two gradually became a little-for-tat.

As far as Tacoma City is concerned, it is indeed beyond Sean's expectations.

I thought that after that incident, the city would slowly recover from the pain, but in recent times, it seems that there may be no one in that place, and even if there is, it will be empty, although there are still countless cultivated fields and land, but no one wants to stay in that kind of place anymore!

"They don't necessarily want ......"

"What do you mean?"

The occupants in the room suddenly looked to Harry's side.

A state of [Guess!] appeared on the top of the opponent's head.

"Perhaps it is a temptation, a test of our Count's determination. Harry finally looked at Sean.

There was no sound, and several people were waiting for Sean's answer.

Whether a ruler wants to protect or not sometimes establishes the ownership of the land, just as a leader who dares to rush into battle in battle can inspire soldiers, although the old city of Tacoma is the land of Basharan, if the Edak merchants live in it or no one to manage it, it will become a symbolic land, and the actual control will be in the hands of someone else!

For the sake of face.

You can't lose that piece of land in Old Tacoma, but it's worth sending troops to a place where people don't want to stay?

At this moment, Sean thinks that he has hundreds of thousands of millions of troops in those stories, so it is no problem to keep one side peaceful, but he may be able to draw out twenty or thirty thousand people with his eyeliner.

"There's a place where I'm weird. Sean said suddenly.

"What do you think is strange?"

"Why wouldn't my citizens want to live in a place where they would be interested?"

"Uh...... I'm just guessing, otherwise there would be no explanation for the other party's troop increase, and the Edak region is not on par with the Basharan Empire, most of them are oases and desert peoples, and many tribes are difficult to combine. Harry said.

Since it's all speculation, make all kinds of plans.

"So be it, Joseph. Keep an eye on what's going on over there, and it's best to send your right-hand man over there, and report back to me directly if necessary. Sean commanded.

My territory is just about to start, why did I start to encounter problems.

The construction has not yet been completed, and it is necessary to force itself to expand the army so soon!

After ordering Aslan to start preparing to recruit soldiers, Sean returned to the sand table alone, watching the 'villains' coming and going throughout Oro City, and was in a trance, when a servant came over and said that Luke and Danti were coming.

Finally, there was one thing that made Sean happy, and he was busy calling for Luke, Dandy, and Kalibo to be brought in......

The two of their most loyal subordinates came over, and they could share some of the burden in their hands.

invited the three of them in, and to Sean's surprise, Claude's two siblings also came over this time!

"Lord Sean, you're living in such a big place. We heard your story and heard about you along the way when we came over, and I heard about you......"

Syllable~

Before he finished speaking, he was punched by Esmeida on the side.

"It's not big, it's not too small, it's going to be called Lord Count Vigel. ”

"Haha...... It's okay, it's okay to call it whatever you want, just come here!" Sean was still worried that there were not many henchmen in the development of urban engineering, and now that Claude is here, it seems that someone has suddenly taken his place.

"You've been gone for more than half a month, how are the others?" Sean knew that there weren't many people coming this time, but the other party had done his best. Not everyone wants to leave their homes, especially since the town of Telemien has always been a place of stability and comfort.

"It's not good, we ...... this time Alas......" Luke sighed.

"You did your best!"

"But then again, sir. When we entered the Oro region, we found that there were a lot of merchants in Edak, is it because the trade route has started again?"

"There's already a caravan heading to Koga City?" Sean asked rhetorically.

"Well, we ran into some. I had a few conversations with them at the time, and it was interesting to talk about...... They said that in addition to buying and selling things this time, their king actually said that they should pay attention to a book, haha...... I don't know when the people in the Adak area are also eager to learn, and they actually want to read. ”
