It was unexpected that Anita turned out to be one of the Guard Knights of the Saintess of the Chalice.
The two of them chatted about so details, and Kana roughly understood from Anita’s words how prepared the Blood Race was now.
Originally, Kana could judge the timing of the Blood Races’s attack through certain periods in the ga.
But such specific predictions about timing were almost unusable now.
Firstly, Kana himself couldn’t rember all these ti points in the ga, or the mory was very vague and could be inaccurate.
If this matter was accompanied by another, allowing for mutual comparisons, Kana could rember it very clearly.
Secondly, due to Kana’s involvent, the opening plot of the Blood Race had long beco unrecognizable.
Judging by the current situation, the Blood Race’s attack was essentially confird for the next month or two; it was almost a certainty.
In other words, Kana could start making preparations over the next one or two months, then get ready to set off. While the Blood Race attacked other forces, he would infiltrate their heartland to start a protective harvest of the Blood Race’s Stone of Creation Fragnts.
At this mont, the Count had finished his chat, and those two nobles seed eager to leave on horseback.
Seeing this situation, it was evident that these two nobles did not think much of the village.
But in any case, this was entirely reasonable.
The two unfamiliar Dwarves also left, just after having a pleasant conversation with Getai and others. Anita and the others were clearly escorts for this group.
After a brief eting and exchange, Kana slightly adjusted the plan for later.
Soon, the Count convened a short eting, attended by the key people.
This included so of Kana’s Night Watchers and a few teammates.
"Here is the original of the envelope, you can pass it around."
Everyone took it and looked at it one by one.
After a glance, Kana roughly understood what it was about.
In short, their first requirent of securing an official title opportunity for the Count was not a problem.
After all, it was just a matter of talking, and for the Cohen Kingdom, the Eastern Wilderness was entirely beyond the national borders.
All the surrounding forces tacitly understood that it was effectively a neutral area.
Though the map included the area as part of its territory, there had been no developnt over the years.
There was also no capability or resources to develop it.
The manpower, material, and financial resources it would consu were enormous and deadly.
And now the Count truly wanted to settle in this place, so it might be an opportunity.
From the letter, it seed the Count was granted the title of Count in the Cohen Kingdom.
This title was not low.
To match this title, the kingdom even nominally allocated half of the Eastern Wilderness to the Count.
Nationally acknowledging that the region was the Count’s domain, even though neither they nor the Count had the power to control it.
But for the Cohen Kingdom, it was a win-win situation.
They needed the Count as an example and also required him to block potential attacks from the other side.
Moreover, if the Count really developed that place, although it was granted to an outsider, it would still develop and be nominally part of the kingdom’s territory.
Starting actual control over the area.
By rely issuing an honorary title and so material resources, they wouldn’t have to spend anything more.
For the other conditions, naturally, they were fiercely rejected.
But being able to succeed was still an opportunity to act.
The Count began to communicate with everyone.
He seed to have learned from so sources that the Blood Race might be preparing to launch an attack.
He was apparently planning to gather soldiers to march to the frontline, to avenge his compatriots.
After their conversation, he looked at Kana. The implication was clear—would Kana lead the team to the front?
To this, Kana shook his head in refusal.
"My first goal is to go to Gray Furnace Castle. I need to learn more about the Dwarves there before heading to Gray Rock Fortress."
The Count, though sowhat disappointed, could only nod.
The Count began to plan, having his subordinates and advisors take action and carry out a certain training plan for the soldiers.
He needed a new candidate to lead the village; if the forr mayor were still around, he would have been a great choice.
Now, the position had to fall to his adjutant.
It was not much different from the ga.
The reason Kana refused to go to the frontline was simple: going to the frontline ant facing the Blood Race’s troops directly.
What Kana wanted was the Stone of Creation.
In the face of the ensuing crisis, the Blood Calamity was just a small disaster, affecting only the areas surrounding the Safro Kingdom.
Moreover, the surrounding nations were virtually incapable of resisting it, and once critical information was spread, the Safro Kingdom would naturally face more severe repercussions.
Other national forces were not fools; they would soon discover the nation could inexplicitly find the Stone of Creation.
Possessing sothing everyone coveted inevitably gave almost everyone an excuse.
