They'll accuse us…
Of intentionally dragging the refugees in.
Claim we're doing it for cheap labor, or just to grow our tax revenue.
As if we're trying to weaken their population while fattening our coffers.
It's nonsense—but politics is rarely about truth.
And then there's the spy problem…
No doubt some lords will try to slip in agents among the refugees. Maybe to stir unrest. Maybe to gather intel.
But Father already accounted for that.
All restricted areas—military outposts, magic labs, relay tower stations—they're only accessible to original Armand citizens and verified personnel.
And as for sabotage?
We don't rely on letters anymore. No slow messengers. No pigeons or runners that can be intercepted.
We have mana talkies. Real-time communication across the entire region. The moment something's wrong, we know.
Our people don't even need to scream—they just press and whisper.
That's the strength of the Armand Region.
