Chapter 254 - Leaving Home

"Go! Go! Move it! These supplies won't load themselves."
The staging grounds were working people into a flurry. Anyone with a Profession even tangentially related to logistics was recruited to ensure everything flowed efficiently and effectively.
We weren't going to force them to come along for the journey, only so that we had all the supplies we needed packed and readied in a timely manner.
We had enough volunteers that we were more than set for the journey ahead without resorting to conscription.
"Sophia," I called out to my Assistant, "How many more wagons need to be loaded?"
The blonde girl looked down at the sheets of paper she carried around and answered quickly, "14, my Lord."
If only she stopped doing that. Ever since being my Assistant allowed her to upgrade into a Noble's Assistant, she was rather insistent on using the title. Nothing I did could get her to stop.
I knew enough about what was happening to not be lost, but I let Sophia and Abigail handle most of the preparations. The three, including Abigail's Assistant Grace, did a great job of organizing everything.
