Chapter 356: The Abilities of a Transcendent Knight
After another three days, Galanar and the others finally arrived at Berming Island, but he didn’t hurry to leave since there was still a mountain of tasks to do.
Many cities, towns, and villages had been attacked by Harune, leaving countless families homeless. There were also many who had lost their loved ones, truly a tragedy.
Alaric couldn’t leave the residents like this. It didn’t sit well with him as someone who carried the blood of the imperial family. He felt that he had the responsibility to take care of the people.
At this moment, Alaric was in a meeting with various Western leaders. They were discussing how to handle the large number of refugees.
"Your Highness, most of our territories were damaged from the invasion. We would need resources to repair the infrastructure. I am afraid that it would be difficult to take in those refugees." One of the western lords spoke in a regretful tone.
Some shared the same sentiment and they also voiced out their concerns about accepting the refugees.
Alaric understood their difficulties so he didn’t make things hard for them. Forcing them to accept those refugees would only earn their discontent.
There are more than ten thousand refugees. Accepting them is indeed a heavy burden to these noble houses. Is there really no other way?
He thought of bringing those people to the northern region, but the distance was too long and some of the refugees might not survive the trip.
While he was deep in his thoughts, a messenger suddenly came in with an urgent expression. "My apologies for the disturbance, Your Highness. I have something important to report!"
Alaric turned his head and signaled for the man to speak.
