A strange world

Chapter 1404 38. Today's news from the Empire Newspaper

The Kingdom of Dimon is a reserve army base thirty miles away from the front-line pass.

Like a campfire sprinkled with phosphorus powder, a ball of light suddenly spread across the open space, and then a portal emerged from it.

"Hmm, familiar cold..."

Stepping out of the portal with a pair of muddy leather boots, Fast returned to the North and sighed, looking at the person who greeted him: "Why is it you, where is Joan?"

"There was an emergency at the front, so she went to the front."

"What are you risking your life for..."

Fast shook his head. Life was obviously getting better and better, but the girl didn't enjoy it and instead fought for her life... She must have some psychological problems!

"Never mind her. I brought everything you wanted."

He walked aside and asked the orc workers behind him to bring in boxes of supplies.

The quartermaster and a middle-aged man with a broken eyebrow came over and asked in confusion: "Liberty City? Today is not the day to deliver supplies..."

"We have a little girl who came to your side to hunt rats, and you sent her to provide logistics. Then she sent back a message saying that your wounded were in trouble and urgently needed help."

The quartermaster looked over and found that many boxes were filled with bandages, padded jackets, and things called wheelchairs.

And coal, lots of coal.

The quartermaster did know what was happening in the Broken Mountains - after all, a group of blue dragons running to Middle-earth to occupy the nest would be considered big news under normal circumstances.

"We have coal..." The quartermaster wanted to say that they had no shortage of it.

"But you are reluctant to give it to the wounded soldiers."

But the Dimon Kingdom is like a wounded wild dog that has lost its master... A wounded lion that has been driven out of the lion group has no ability to hunt and can only accept food from kind-hearted humans.

The trucks that came out were huge and attracted a lot of people to watch. However, the things that were transported out of the portal were getting weirder and weirder, such as the Philosopher's Stone and newspapers... Are these things necessary?

The quartermaster didn't dare to stop him and could only send someone to deliver a letter to the commander later.

The final highlight was a mithril pedestal pulled by a white dragon. A young man with fur on the corners of his lips followed beside it and warned: "Be careful. If it gets bumped, you won't be able to get a replacement for the time being."

"What is this?" The middle-aged man with broken eyebrows, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"Who are you?"

Fast had been keeping an eye on him for a while.

"James Colter, the person in charge of the wounded camp." The middle-aged man with a broken eyebrow introduced himself. "I shouldn't have come, but I'm really curious about what Joan has learned in the camp after staying there for a month."

"I hope you can still maintain this annoying tone after listening to this."

Fast didn't like the guy's tone. As Elder's eyes twitched, he patted the mithril pedestal and said, "This is a range healing rune made by the Free City Mage Tower. Annan heard that some of your wounded had to undergo amputation due to inflammation, and some had cerebral palsy due to fever. So he asked the tower spirit Lilith to make this for your wounded."

"Then you sent our heroes to the front lines to die. That's great~"

Obviously, with Joan going to the front line, Fast is not as calm as he seems.

"...I take back what I said before."

There was a long silence, and James Colter lowered his head.

No one wants to die on the battlefield, but if they become like those wounded soldiers, neither human nor ghost, they would rather die in battle.

"As for Joan, I will--"

"Forget it, it's her own choice."

Fast was here to be a good guy for Annan. It would be stupid if he was held against for doing good things.

After all, the Kingdom of Dimon was too poor.

This scarcity was the result of three years of fighting the rat people on their own.

The Kingdom of Dimon helped Middle-earth withstand a lot of pressure, but even so, the countries in Middle-earth still stood idly by and refused to lend a helping hand.

If it were Annan, he would rather give up the territory and let those countries taste the bitter fruit. At worst, he would go to the rat people and become an Annan rat.

Fortunately, in the third year of the war, the giant next door finally took action.

But Fast couldn't tell them the good news for the time being.

After aid arrived in Liberty City, James Colter cooperated to integrate several camps for wounded soldiers together.

It was a bit crowded, but the lifeless camp suddenly became much more lively. Moreover, due to the concentration of resources and supplies from Liberty City, the priest was also able to purify it.

The young people who came from Liberty City called themselves doctors and nurses. They used a special herb that numbed the wounds to help them relieve the pain, which reduced the hellish wails in the tents.

Then the wounded soon discovered that their wounds were itching, but they were not inflamed or developing plaque, but were healing.

They also opened windows and skylights in every tent. Even if the winter sun is not very bright, watching the light beams into the tent and moving as time goes by will always make people stare at it for a long time.

There are also newspapers and magic images.

In the early morning, a pleasant voice will announce news happening around the world, and in the evening, they can watch wonderful magic images.

Just as Joan had hoped, the living conditions for the wounded here improved rapidly.

…

call……

At this time, in the wilderness less than ten miles away from the front pass, a long convoy was moving slowly forward.

Sitting in the cart, Joan, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, was breathing out white frost.

Around her were the wounded soldiers who were brought from the wounded camp and were still able to fight.

They didn't know what happened to the camp, but they remembered that it was Joan who pulled them out of the abyss.

"Miss Joan, we will protect you!"

Joan joked, "When we get to the battlefield, you have to call me captain."

"Okay, Captain!"

The soldiers burst into laughter, and Joan grinned along. After laughing for a while, she fell silent.

I wonder how many of these people can return alive...

…

The front page headline of the Imperial Newspaper: "Emperor's Decree: The Royal Bank is to be established today"

[The Emperor and the Privy Council signed the 43rd Imperial Asset Management Decree on the 17th day of the month of Frost, formally establishing the Imperial Royal Savings Bank. It is under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance.

All 376 obsidian cities across the empire have savings banks, which are guarded by epic mages on a rotating basis.

"The steps of the Treasury will be paved with the skulls of the corrupt," Finance Minister Vihemar Ironskull has declared before the skeletal royal emblem.

This is to inform the public:

Starting from January 1st of the Saint Laurent calendar, the entire empire will be able to handle storage business in all major cities. The account details will be made public on the last three days of each month and will be subject to review by the Imperial Audit Office.

Note: Except for the royal family and the Free City, setting up a private savings bank within the Empire will be considered treason. 】

In an inconspicuous place in the Empire Newspaper, there is also a short message:

[News from the Imperial Capital Ironforge] The Black Watch will take over the Silver Storm Legion to guard the border from now on.
