The eastern region of the empire, Virella Town…
"We've finally arrived."
Nolan peered out from the window of the horse-drawn carriage and gazed at the distant town walls with satisfaction.
The walls were not very high, only about eight meters. Judging by the color of the paint, they had clearly been built recently.
Still, Nolan understood. According to the information he had received, Virella Town was extremely poor.
The town's previous leaders, a baronial family, had died during the battle for the throne in his father's era.
As a result, the town was neglected and left without proper leadership for decades.
Of course, Duke Austin and the imperial palace had attempted to help the town recover.
However, the cost was enormous, as Virella's location on the eastern edge of the territory made transporting supplies difficult.
Not to mention, the town bordered an ancient forest known as Calvorn, infamous as a den of ancient monsters.
