Chapter 402: 140. Dawn of the Crimson Castle_1

Chef Shawan inadvertently let slip some of his past "connections".

But, seeing Earl Cardman so forgiving and not rejecting these channels that weren’t nice to air, others began to understand as well.

It seems that they’re not the only ones who could rise from obscurity today.

If they did it right, even their families and friends might get a piece of the public pie.

Their expressions became more and more active, and their suggestions more radical thereafter!

Mr. Portman even suggested forming a slave-capturing team. Take advantage of the Northern people’s inability to govern Kavkhoka Plains just after they conquered it, and capture some people to enhance our domain. Round trip would take no more than ten days, if done well, hundreds of people could be brought back in one go.

There are many good farmers there, ready for use as soon as they’re brought back!

In this day and age, common folk don’t pledge much loyalty to a country. As long as Murphy can secure the rights and future of these slaves, they wouldn’t mind changing their Lord.

Honestly, the suggestion was very pragmatic and appealing to Murphy, but after careful consideration, he didn’t adopt it.

Considering the current terrible state of Transylvania, rashly provoking the barbaric and war-loving Northerners isn’t a good idea. Professor Malcolm also strongly opposes this inhumane act.

Of course, the clever professor posed a very formal reason:

"The war refugees will be arriving soon, gentlemen.

I’ve almost entirely experienced the ten-year war. I can tell you that the number of people displaced by war in the six provinces around the entire war zone is astronomical. So we really don’t need to challenge the Northerners for the sake of a few hundred people.

What we need to do is establish a series of basic administrative frameworks to ensure that we can accommodate the people who will soon be coming."

Professor Winston Malcolm adjusted his glasses, he said earnestly:

"Kato, East Prussia, and the southern border of the Saxon Region, have all bordered the Posya Confederation for hundreds of years. Now they have been occupied by the Golden Flower Kingdom.

General Loren’s corps is indeed disciplined, but the rest of the frontier army has been driven almost mad by the war. Their plundering, bullying, and even slaughtering of the locals are commonplace. All the Lord has to do is open his arms, and there will be plenty of oppressed civilians willing to migrate here.

The population issue, in my view, is not actually very important. What we must solve right now is the food problem and the restoration of order across the entirety of Transylvania.

Even a nominal restoration is enough to stabilize people’s minds!"

Getting to this point, the professor hesitated for a moment, looked at Murphy, and said:

"Also, my Lord, I think you should seriously consider what to do after the war ends. If the Golden Flower Kingdom and the Nordtoff Kingdom don’t intend to annex Transylvania but regard us as a military buffer zone between them, I guess their ambassadors will soon come to visit.

Please be sure to prepare to negotiate with them.

This is really important!

Although it may seem undignified of us to say so, whether the regime of Transylvania can transition smoothly now depends on the attitudes of both kingdoms."

"They will acknowledge my rule! I have no doubt of it,"

Murphy shakes his head, looking at everyone, he says:

"Gentlemen, there’s important news I must share with you. I’ve received definite intelligence from my Blood race kin: the Black Disaster that occurs once every hundred years and originated from the Dark Mountain Range is brewing.

In no later than six months it will once again poison the continent, unfortunately, Transylvania will have to face another trial."

"My God!"

The crowd gasps in surprise.

Even Professor Malcolm is so surprised he stands up.

Those who live in the region of Transylvania cannot be unaware of the "Black Disaster", after all, they are always the first to suffer whenever the disaster happens. It’s a disaster handed down from generation to generation, and worst of all, it’s not just a legend.

The wolf people banditry spread all over Transylvania is the "memorial" left to this land during the last black disaster.

Upon hearing that the black disaster was imminent, all who were just now elated from gaining official positions and knight titles immediately changed their expressions.

The weak expressions showing their urge to escape couldn’t be covered up.

"Gentlemen, you are all persons of stature now, please have some dignity."

Murphy knocks on the table, bringing silence to the meeting room.

He says:

"Don’t be too horrified, the Blood Vulture Clan has decided to fulfill our duty that has existed for hundreds of years. We will be active on the front line in the fight against the black disaster. Until we fall in this blessed night, you all are safe.

Most importantly, even if you ran now, if Transylvania can’t hold back the flood of the vicious wolf people, you would still suffer the disaster.

Unless you can escape directly to the legendary New World.

So, in my opinion, we need to keep doing what we’re doing.

And speed it up!

But think on the bright side.

Under the general background of the black disaster, neither the Golden Flower Kingdom nor the Nordtoff will take over the hot potato that is Transylvania now. This means as long as we can survive this black disaster, we can stand tall on this continent as an independent nation.

And they need the people of Transylvania to serve as a buffer against the fierce tide of wolf people.
