Above the airship,


    Sean stood in front and looked down at the earth


    The sound is very noisy, and there are many airships flying in the surrounding airspace. It is difficult for people on even one airship to talk to each other all the way. I can''t hear ~ the only sound in my ears is'' boom ''.


    Claude was temporarily deaf because he had been in the computer room for too long, so he could only run ahead of a little better.


    "How''s it going? It feels good to be in an airship," Sean said with a smile as he looked at each other.


    Claude said before that he was the first time to take an airship. In addition, he was the person who studied the equipment. He was just very [excited!] from the moment he boarded the airship.


    "Not much. It''s too noisy."


    "Hahaha..."


    Sean laughed. It was the same as when he first took an airship!


    The noise during the day is so fierce that he can''t sleep at night. His head will always swell and ache for several days in a row. It belongs to a kind of insufficient sleep... Looking at Claude''s [uncomfortable!] state, it''s estimated that he feels the same.


    "By the way, brother Sean. I saw sister igunia yesterday. Did she come too?" Claude looked at Sean. When she was in COGA City, igunia had been to Claude''s store many times. They were familiar with each other.


    "Well, the city of COGA is here this time..."


    "A total of 13 cities in the south of the Empire will go to the imperial capital, which is related to the survival of our cities," Sean said.


    "Is it really serious this time? Brother Sean. On my way here, I saw a lot of refugees blocked outside the city. They have a lot of women and children. It''s very poor," said Claude.


    When the airship came all the way, we could really see the situation in many cities. Now the situation in southern cities is similar... The refugees have gone south.


    "It depends on how you choose. In the current situation, no city has enough food to support so many refugees. Moreover, once they enter the city, they may bring more social security problems, and the so-called pity will become cheap in the face of survival."


    Claude also knows that cities are short of money, not only money but also food.


    If you pay so much money to the king, I really don''t know how to live in the future


    "It''s embarrassing," Claude whispered.


    "Don''t worry, I''ve helped them as much as possible. If some of the refugees are willing to go to the border to help get through the aidak commercial road, they can at least have a few full meals every day, while others can live in the old city of Tacoma."


    "The old city of Tacoma? Doesn''t that mean it''s too cold and haunted to go?"


    "They''re already refugees. Don''t worry about this..." Sean said.


    In fact, Luke mentioned this opinion suddenly before he left. Although the money and food in Oro city are not enough to support so many refugees, they can only provide meals if they are willing to work. Although the consumption will increase, it is worth it in the long run.


    Because these refugees have no place to live, they can be put back into the old city of Tacoma


    The residents in Oro area dare not go back, because it was the place where the ancient god believers made trouble before. Many people died. Now it used to be desolate. It is estimated that no one can clean up the bones, but the refugees can.


    Now that we have reached this stage, there is no need to take care of the land. Clean up the old city of Tacoma, which is also an old city with good architectural conditions. If we can rely on refugees to develop again, it would be a great thing for us.


    At that time, with two cities in hand, the strength in hand will be greater, and the key money will be more.


    "It turns out that brother Sean has already thought about it. I''m still troubled."


    Ha~


    Sean took Claude''s shoulder and continued to fly north.


    ……………………


    There are 9 local lords in the party. They fly during the day and rest at night. They keep moving forward for about four days... After three days on their way, several older earls can''t hold on. They say they are uncomfortable and need an extra day''s rest to continue on their way. The rest still keep on their way every day.


    On the fifth day, Sean flew over riyetis


    This was the second time he had arrived in the city, and that night the Marquis of spinora suggested a rest in rietis.


    Sean also inquired about Prince Philip. For more than half a year since the start of the Borg war, his Highness has never returned to riyetis, and even the wings of the sky headquarters is very depressed. It is said that Freya took a lot of people, most of whom are young witches with weak ability, but there are few people in total.


    The place where many rich families and nobles discussed most after dinner has become so depressed.


    I don''t know how the front line is


    But many people died in this war. Last winter, people praying in front of the church can be seen almost every day. It is estimated that many wizards also died in the war


    On the other side, all the members of the alchemists Association went to the front, and Sean didn''t have a chance to find Alfons alchemist.


    Moreover, the closer the team is to the Northern War, the more serious the impact will be. White notes are hung at the door of many houses, which means that some people in the family have died recently. The people who died in this special period are likely to be soldiers on the front line.


    And there are many such situations. Sometimes you can see such things hanging on the whole street!


    Depression and residents'' laments are the mainstream rhythm in the city master. Sean remembered that he was very lively when he came to riyatis last time. He still borrowed a lot from the city in urban planning. Unexpectedly, he became like this in only one year.


    If the war continues, I don''t know what it will look like.


    Even the city where the prince sat down became like this, not to mention other northern cities


    And so it is.


    Continue to go north. Almost all cities in the north are in the same situation. There is no prosperous transportation in the rumors, and there are few people on the streets in such a good season of communication in spring and summer.


    At noon on the eighth day


    The team entered the airspace of the capital of the basharan empire.


    As the imperial capital, this place is different from other cities. Prosperity still exists, but refugee camps and soldiers can be seen in the periphery.


    Beyond these is the real basharandi


    A huge urban agglomeration that crosses the hills from the plain and then continues to extend to the foot of the mountain on the other side. If you want to compare it with your own Oro City, Sean estimates that his ten cities together should not be as big as the imperial capital.


    Before the airship stopped, hundreds of Knight guards came below, all wearing silver armor.


    Raise the flag and stop the airship at the designated position


    "Who are you?"
