After that, the team sped up and headed towards Oro City.

One of the reasons was that nothing strange happened in the small town he encountered later. Everything was normal. Even when he learned that he was the new Earl of the Oro region, he seemed particularly enthusiastic.

What Sean didn't expect was that his name, Earl Sean Weigel, had become very popular in this area in advance!

Even the children passing by the orchard picking fruit could call out my name. It was a bit strange to become so famous all of a sudden.

However, according to scholar Ross, this area is closer to Lietis and news spreads very quickly. Moreover, as the earl of a place, he will definitely be remembered by the local people first. This is different from the small town of Thermian. After all, there are only a few thousand people in the town, but now hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Oro region will remember his name.

Even for a long time, all his habits, style, even his liking for a certain woman, pursuing a certain lady, and going to certain places would become topics that people talked about with great relish.

If you become a local lord, you must be prepared to bear the cost of such topics.

Ross even gave examples of how the earls in some northern regions of the empire spread topics, especially those about love and romance, which were particularly suitable for ordinary people to discuss while eating.

After hearing this, Sean frowned.

These people are so boring! Why don't they go to work if they have time? They can get more benefits for themselves and pay more taxes to the rulers. They just like to talk about these topics.

But speaking of the Lord of the North, I first remembered what the Wood Elves said.

"Sir Ross, do you know the situation of the Borg and the Kett people?" Sean asked.

I don't know much about the geography of this world, and this is mainly because there are no channels that can provide me with information. For many people in the south, they will never leave the southern part of the empire in their lifetime. Even merchants rarely go so far away. Therefore, I can only learn about the world outside the Bashalan Empire from a few books.

"Why does the Earl suddenly ask about this?" Ross asked puzzledly.

“Just asking.”

Ascalante on the other side also seemed to want to find this topic.

"Sir, I have heard something about the Borg. Their country is located northwest of ours. They've been doing well in recent years, but it's said that during my father's generation, relations were very bad. Back then, the Imperial Army's new recruits feared most of all being assigned to garrison in the northwest."

The soldiers in the empire are just ordinary people. Just as Ascalante said at the beginning, he joined the army only because the empire could give his family more money. He did not have any lofty ideals and certainly did not want to go to a place where he might fight at any time.

"Back then, the Borg had a major conflict with our country over the mineral veins. Some even said we stole their fuel refining method."

"And what was the result?"

"Of course, I can't say such a thing, but it is true that our country's fuel technology made great progress after that period. Imperial mechanics continued to create various things, and our current airships were also improved at that time." Ross said.

Sean has also ridden on an airship a few times, but that kind of technology is not achievable in a city like Koga!

"Where are the Kates?"

"The Kates do not belong to the Zambutal region. They are highlanders and a nation made up of the Amansha people. They do not directly border us but are neighbors with the Borg Guard."

This means that it is possible for these two countries to form an alliance.

"Why do you ask this, sir? Do the Doborgs have any ideas? Their technology is indeed very good. If we only consider mechanical improvements and factory efficiency, it is much better than our country. It's just that it is too far away from us!" said Ross.

Sean has some understanding of the southern part of the Bashalan Empire after all, he has traveled to many places in the past year.

Further south is a small port country, and to the west are mountains and mountains. There may be some mountain people, but definitely not many. This is why Lushil couldn't understand why the snow giants climbed over the mountains and came to the town of Telemian.

Going east, the Oro region where he would be located in the future directly bordered the Adak region. In that region, supplies were scarce and the land was relatively barren. It was a country on the Gobi Desert, yellow sand and oasis, so most of the Adak people appeared dark and had strong bodies. Of course, there were exceptions.

For example, the mother I saw in the portrait was relatively normal.

“It’s really hard to find”

Sean said calmly.

Looking into the distance, towards the direction of Oro City.

I can only pray that wars will not happen at this time, otherwise I will have to increase taxes and conscript soldiers and civilians just after becoming the lord of a place.

They continued walking eastward for four days. During these four days, Sean set out early in the morning and rested at night, hoping to speed up his pace to reach Oro City.

As long as he was temporarily settled, he could send someone to send a letter back to Telemian to ask Luke and Dante to bring people over such a long distance. A large-scale migration of nearly 10,000 people was simply impossible, and food and safety along the way were also problems.

After walking this distance, Sean began to feel that perhaps some of the townspeople would eventually say goodbye to him.

In the words of scholar Ross:

There will always be many people who will not be able to walk together to the end. There have been countless migrations in history, but there has never been a time when people can truly leave their homeland completely. Some people will stay, some will integrate into other cities, and others will disappear without a trace due to various reasons.
