Russell began to speak of important matters, “Aside from the baron title, Red Castle will also reward me significantly. The reward will likely consist of a batch of peasants, at least tens of thousands in number. You need to prepare in advance for the reception.”

“Ah!” Charles exclaimed again, “A reward of tens of thousands of people?”

Considering the entire Glowing Valley consisted of only a few tens of thousands of people, it showed how precious population was in the Shadowflame Grand Duchy.

Apart from the noble lords of the Volcanic Oasis, who didn’t need to worry about population and could even sell people for profit, the lords of the warmer enclaves were nearly all short of people, even the established ones like Tributary River Mouth or Gravel Domain.

“Actually, it wouldn’t be too hard; the family could repurpose the coal transport caravans for food trade.”
