Everyone shuddered at the Pearl of the Northern Region's name and set to work

"Map, I'll put up the map!"

"What about the schedule? I'll double check it"

"Anyone help me check the food?"

"Don't worry The Administrative Office will keep an eye on hi his chest "Noe've reht The Tusk and the Redstone Gate Families indeed helped us, but it won't be that easy afterwards"

"No, it'll be just the same," Iron Axe corrected him

"R-really?" Remy said in surprise

"Because they've fallen behind" This hat Edith had told hio He met Edith at the office of the General Staff, where they held a ration plan, with a secretary writingminutes next to the place in this world but are still dwelling exclusively on their personal interests while gloating over their wealth They saw hardly anything else I bet you plan to fight those nobles one by one, right?"

"If they impede His Majesty's plan, yes"
