"It's better to slow down the offensive and stabilize the territory first. We can transport the grain via the Black Pine River and then transport it by land carriage."

"Besides, the autumn harvest is approaching. Several local counties can still collect a considerable amount of grain."

This suggestion was quickly agreed upon by most generals. It greatly reduced the difficulty and stabilized the situation, and they did not have to take such risks.

"But..." Jenkins was about to argue, but Marshal Swift had already made the decision.

"That's it. Let's first reorganize the occupied counties and provinces."

"yes."

——————

As autumn gradually arrived, the fighting between the two sides eased temporarily and they gradually became busy with the harvest.

Within the Black Rock Principality, the combined forces of the Clancy and Gufia orcs gradually retreated, leaving behind a garrison of approximately 60,000 troops to assist the local "Swordsmithing Sect" in re-establishing order. They also brought in food, equipment, and supplies to aid in the local reconstruction and recovery efforts.

"Thank you, thank you."

A mother took the food in her hands and said with a choked voice of gratitude. Two children were standing behind her.

Although the war within Black Rock has ended, many families have long since been torn apart, leaving many women and children homeless and even facing the plight of famine. The Longspear Faction's rule forced the forcible confiscation of large amounts of food, and many families are now forced to starve.

"It's nothing. This is not just my credit, but the assistance from Southern Clansia." Jenna squatted down and looked at the two thin children with kindness and compassion in her eyes.

"Come, say thank you to the big sister." The mother pulled out two shy children. They were wearing worn and thin gray linen clothes, and their two pairs of big dark eyes looked at the beautiful big sister.

"Thank you...thank you, wow." There was joy, fear and inferiority in the eyes of the two children.

"Hmm..." Jenna stroked the two children's heads and answered softly. Ever since she grew her short hair long, her whole temperament has changed a lot.

"Big sister, there's an officer looking for you over there." A young voice called out.

"Okay." Jenna stood up, waved to the mother and son, and left.

In this small mountain town, some soldiers from the Sword Forging Sect and Clansia were organizing people to repair damaged houses and set up relief huts in the center of the town to help those who were injured, sick, hungry, and unable to work.

There was also a notice erected nearby stating that food would be distributed if people assisted in the construction and restoration.

Jenna held the long knife in her hand and came to a house where several soldiers were processing letters and documents from various places.

"Here is a letter sent to you. It was specially instructed by Soland." An officer saw Jenna coming and stood up and took out a special envelope. It was wrapped in thick kraft paper and had several bright red seals on it to indicate its importance.

"Is it for me? And he came from Soland." Jenna couldn't remember which foreigner she knew, especially in the capital of Clancia.

"Yes." The officer handed over the letter.

After carefully opening it, Jenna turned over the folded letter and looked at the words on it.

[To my classmate and friend Jenna:

I'm Luo Lan, and I recently heard about your story in Black Rock Jena...

]

The familiar address and name made her realize that the letter was from Loran. Wasn't she in school? How did she end up in Solander now?

Out of curiosity, Jenna continued reading.

......

[I hope you don't worry. If you have any problems that require assistance or resolution, you can contact the local officials. If the situation is truly serious and difficult to resolve, you can also contact the Knight Commander of the Dawnhorn. He is currently stationed in Black Rock and Nidshire, so you can easily see him...]

The letter first comforted Jenna, then told her who she could turn to for help if she had any difficulties in the future. Loran Hill also advised Jenna to return to school as soon as things settled down, so that she could do more in the future. After all, she was still young and didn't want to rush into other things too early.

At the end of the letter, although Loran Hill did not say that he was the great sage of Clancia, he also implicitly stated that he was currently working in Solander.

"I didn't expect Luo Lan to leave school too?" Jenna sighed, feeling amused. Luo Lan was not in school himself, but instead persuaded her to go to school.

However, the concern in it still made her feel a little warm. After losing many relatives in her hometown, this kind of selfless concern became precious.

I will listen to my friend's advice and return to school to continue my studies after settling a series of affairs at the end of this year.

"But I have to work harder this time." She raised her head and looked at the clear, cloudless sky.
