Stability

Now is the tith

Book 5-51

As usual, the end of the as decorated by sorrow

There werethe tribe than the warriors ent away to war this time, but none of thatthat mattered hether they lived or died

Since Pareia encouraged warriors to take wives and have children, the remuneration to the families of the dead warriors was the most important issue

There was also a different problem if you probed deeper into this issue, and that is of course the ratio between men and wonificantly worse for Pareia which had now unified the entire Eastern Desert

Population 2,000,000The 18 to early 40 year old men who needed to serve in active duty was less than 300,000 This was causing a serious issue now that they had gathered all of the families of the tribes that were involved in this past war

Approximately 60,000 warrior were killed in the last tith the united tribe and the Shuarei Out of the 60,000, around 20,000 of them were the breadwinners The tribes protected the warriors and the warriors’ families, and since the dead warriors died for the tribe, it was natural that their re family members will be cared for by the tribe

But that nue

With 20,000 warriors dead, there would be at least 100,000 family members at minimum This hy they could not start the private property distribution in the conquered areas like they had done in Pareia right away They did not even have enough to even provide for the faht now

The thankful aspect was that because their population grew due to the unification of the Eastern Desert, they could rely on more people to do manual labor, and to do it more effectively Most importantly, with the reduction of paths that had to be avoided, Pareia’s treasure chest Edwin, could now beabout theft

“Sigh~ you are asking for such a difficult request”

Seeing Edwin let out a long sigh and lower his head, Runa felt a bit apologetic He kneas an extremely difficult request, but he had no other choice

“If we cannot ask such thing to Edwin-nim, who could we ask? Please help us This is not a deal of any kind, but a request froht now Whether it is wheat or really any type of food, the nificantly I understand the Eastern continent getting nervous, but these royal bastards of the Western continent are about to go to war over a woman’s handkerchief Just how stupid can they be?”

“The Western continent going to war?”

E all of their inforht now that they were clueless to as going on in the Western continent That hy Runa was surprised and asked Edwin

“Yes And it is for an extreain their honor that even a dog would not care about You will laugh once you hear the story”

Edanted to provide Runa with the wheat that he was asking for even if he needed to take on extra burden That way, he would be able to take an advantageous position in a deal with Pareia in the future Unfortunately, the cost of wheat in the entire continent was flying up right now In addition to wheat, the market price of edible aniher than the pastready for a potential war as well However, the flae that Edas this angry right now

“Sigh~!”

Edwin let out another long sigh before starting his story
