On the day Sean left, most of the residents of Oro City came to see him off.
Even the Earl Sean came personally to escort the supplies and soldiers to support the national war. The plan was to escort them to the mountain road leading from Oro City to the northern city.
Of course, Sean hopes it is farther away, otherwise it will easily affect ordinary citizens.
Walking in the front, Ascalante kept looking around vigilantly and kept sending people to the front and back to keep a close eye on the situation. He and Joseph stayed by his side the whole time.
"Don't be so nervous. This is the gate of Oro City. Unless they have the strength to confront our army head-on, they would not choose to launch a sneak attack in a place like this. And if they had such ability, they would not have to hide for so long." Sean said with a smile as he looked at the two men who were in a tense state.
"We must ensure the safety of the Earl."
The two even regarded Sean's words as a test for themselves and answered very seriously.
Sean can see the favorability of the people around him, so he knows best whether he has any enemies, but if he doesn't give them the opportunity to show their abilities, it would be equivalent to wiping out their passion for struggle.
Dante is an example.
Originally, when he was in Thermian, he was respected and supported as the only captain of the town's guard. However, after arriving in Oro City, the rank of the soldiers and the generals around him were far higher than his. In Sean's opinion, Dante still had a small peasant mentality in his heart, and he was content to live well in a small circle. He did not think about how to improve himself.
But if you say it's an improvement, it may not be much. Dante is much older than Ascalante, but his rank is not even half of his. This may be the reason why he is under great psychological pressure. So after coming to Oro City, although I gave him the position of deputy captain of the Royal Guard, Dante kept telling me that he wanted to resign and live with the residents of the town.
But Sean didn't agree.
I always use the excuse that the other party has a family to persuade him, even if not for myself, at least for my future children.
Having the title of deputy captain of the guard will make it much easier to educate the next generation.
Although he stayed, Sean could see that Dante was no longer focused on his work. Although some people suggested that he give Dante some money to allow him to retire, Sean still refused to agree because he had followed the Weigel family for many years.
As Ross said at the time.
Many times, those in power have to learn to give up, but loyal people should never let go.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Sean nodded.
"Don't worry, sir. I promise nothing will happen today."
Just one sentence can give two people encouragement
Walk out of the gate of Oro City and head north, you will encounter many small towns along the way.
In fact, most of them were inns built for travelers or merchants to stay in. As more and more people came here, small markets were formed with one or two streets as the main living area.
Of course, some of it was expanded from the previous village.
Barnil and his three companions were most familiar with this kind of place. Mercenaries often lived or gathered intelligence in such small towns.
Sean now knows some of this common sense.
When I first left the small town, someone taught me that if I wanted to find out about the people around me, it would be best to go to a hotel like this one outside the city. This is where the merchants are most concentrated, because it is cheap and is often the place where mercenaries can afford to stay.
"We all lived in this area before. There were a lot of people heading to the swamp forest in Tacoma City back then. I think we've all been there, right, Latina?" Vanir asked his teammate next to him uncertainly.
"That's you. I haven't been here before."
"Oh, but I've been to Koga City a few times. It is said that it is very close to where Lord Sean used to live." Latina suddenly changed the subject to herself.
Sean was a little unsure about this girl who he admired and liked the moment they met.
Should we get close or be wary?
We had never met each other before, and we had never deliberately tried to improve our favorability. It was a bit difficult to get used to the fact that we admired each other as soon as we met.
Later, Sean wondered if some people would develop a favorable impression of him as his fame grew.
"It was relatively close, but at that time, Thelemian was almost completely closed off, with little contact with the outside world."
"I know this. It was Lord Sean who personally led the townspeople out at that time." He looked at himself with an excited expression on his face as he spoke.
"Sean, the fact that you were able to walk out of the closed town for so many years is enough to show your ability. But what do you want to do in the future to build Oro City?" Latina asked curiously.
What do you want to do?
Sean was silent for a moment.
The main reason why I moved here excitedly from Telemian was that I would not be restricted by the city of Koga and could develop on my own.
However, it is not easy to manage a city. He felt it when he was in charge of Oro City. In addition to the normal development, there was another thing that had been buried in Sean's heart, that was the murder of his family.
After everything stabilizes, Sean still wants to send people to the Adak area to collect information about the Sun Crown.
"That's it for now," Sean said finally.
Probably after realizing that he didn't want to talk, Latina rarely asked any more questions and mostly talked about her own things.
I escorted the team out of the small town surrounding the city and was about to enter the mountain road.
