Chapter 840: People Easily Forget
Thus, the magicians here were heavily overworked. And the suspicious look and unwelcoming gaze the people were giving them was not helping at all.
Those who had memories of the Great War were beginning to question why they needed to help humans who had caused their numbers to dwindle and force them to have no other option but to mate with another race if they did not want their population to die out.
No, even the younger ones who were here for experience’s sake were also clearly thinking the same.
If Ferdinand left them here in this frustrated and weakened state, they might give up on protecting these territories that had people treating them like they were the ones who made the disease and pests wreak havoc and go out of control.
When they first arrived, the morale was high since the people welcomed them happily and were elated to be visited by the Emperor and his men in person.
The locals were overjoyed because they thought the solution would be solved soon.
When their expectations were not met immediately and the situation got worse, they were now suspicious of them instead.
There were even rumors going around that Ferdinand and his knights and magicians came here to make their territory suffer as punishment for the ruling households’ failures.
Yet, there were also rumors that Ferdinand and his entourage were in collusion with the ruling households to make them suffer.
The knights and magicians were getting infuriated with it even when Ferdinand already told them to just ignore it.
Ferdinand never wanted to be a ruler. But he at least knew now that any sane ruler would not do this to his own territory.
