As always, when the order was given, the plans were executed swiftly. Or at least, as swiftly as bees and humans could travel, especially in the current weather.
The storms have abated, but not ended fully. The roads were hard to traverse, many railroads in the Bee Empire were half-operational, and the flood in the Kachi-Chi Kingdom was still ongoing–it would take a long while for all the extra water to flow away.
Even boats had difficulties traveling in the overflowing rivers, but much less than anyone who tried to travel by road. In just a week, the first of the sea ships sent by me entered the Chi river and reached the first people in need of help. Soon after, others did the same, traveling to the most afflicted parts of the Kachi-Chi Kingdom to the endless gratitude of its king.
