Although they were Alterra’s subsidiaries, Alterra was not duty or system-bound to actually help them, especially when the costs were high.

Helping out another territory during a disaster they were also going through definitely would not have a low cost. Even if he begged, Alterra might not help them—especially after the previous altercations.

However, what else could they do? His cheap pride would not feed his people.

That night, he and his team traveled across the monster-infested forests, with only the two moons as well as a few torches lighting up their way. frёewebnoѵēl.com

There were plenty of close calls because they were weakened by hunger, and they ran away whenever they encountered troublesome mobs. Even if they could beat the mobs, they dared not use too much energy at this juncture.

They were hungry, thirsty, and incredibly dirty but they could do nothing but trudge through.

Fortunately, the small team all survived in the end, arriving at Alterra’s vicinity several hours later, deep into the night.

"The mobs are becoming denser, milord," Fos said, with a deep frown, stabbing down at a monster with his whole weight. "It is likely they’re currently fighting with mobs by now."

If they asked for favors when the other side had just been through trouble, then coming to a good deal would be even more difficult than it already was.

Shiro paused and looked in a direction of thought. The monster mobs they were used to were even stronger than this. While Alterra had somehow managed to beat them when they threatened the village, Shiro and his men were not weak.

On the contrary, they could come to assist. They could use this to get better deals.

"If the mob is still at its peak, then it is a good thing for us," he said. "If we come to help when they are in a pinch, then we’ll have more leverage." The men looked at him, enlightened.

"As expected of the lord…" Fos said, and the others agreed.

They prepared themselves for an intense battle ahead, feeling thankful that they saved up some energy during their travel there. At the very least, consuming themselves here, when there was a territory nearby, was a better option than losing spirit in the middle of nowhere.

However, they did not expect that by the time the walls were visible, the territory was already cleaning up the beast corpses, taking the parts they needed and hauling them on wheeled carts pulled either by humans or by Broats.

More than this, they gaped at the tall walls. Because the trees of the forest had dried out, there was no foliage to block the view, so they had an unhindered view of the radiance in this direction.

The entire territory was incredibly bright and could be seen hundreds of meters away. It was like a bright utopia amidst the dark and depressing surroundings.

After living in their own territory that was dull whether it was morning or night, this vibrancy was really… disorienting.

They wondered if they were really heading to a fellow village.

When they entered, they were met with a bustle of activity. Every shop was open and there were people going around, some working, and some selling items to whoever passed by.

They had never seen such a lively bright night.
