"What happened to the world?"
What is happening now must be some kind of omen.
The first thing that came to Duke Doro Klenges' mind was the coming of the devil that the king had mentioned, but he could not rule out the possibility that demons were causing trouble in the dark.
No matter what the reason, it is necessary to ensure the security of the territory and protect the safety of the family. This is the responsibility of a lord and a family patriarch.
"Everything needs money, and it's going to cost a lot. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought those things at the auction house."
Duke Doro Klenges took out his crystal ball and contacted the nearby nobles to see what the situation was like next door and whether they could come over to provide support.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Duke Doro Krenges suppressed his arrogance and spoke in a rare humble manner.
The more he contacted other people, the more desperate Duke Doro Klenges became. The same situation occurred not only in his territory, but also in the territories of other nobles.
Everyone is busy taking care of themselves, so how can they spare the time to help others
Duke Doro Klenges's efforts were in vain.
There was a sudden call from the royal family, and Duke Doro Klenges answered the call as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
However, he was disappointed again.
The same situation also occurred in the royal capital. The king has sent out an investigation team to investigate, but it will probably take a long time to understand the full picture of the incident and the reasons why it happened.
The royal family contacted us to discuss how to overcome the difficulties and solve the current problems.
The king asked all the dukes to set a good example and to do their best to help the nearby minor nobles, giving priority to helping them overcome difficulties, rather than just considering their own interests.
Duke Doro Klenges curled his lips, full of complaints:
"That's easy to say! Our territory is vast and more difficult to manage than that of ordinary nobles. We don't have enough manpower to begin with. Asking us to manage other nobles is simply asking too much!"
The entire meeting was empty of substance. It simply analyzed the possible causes of the situation and the direction of the investigation, and then there were some empty words like "we will definitely get through this time" and "even if the situation worsens, we will definitely get through this time."
There was no mention of any solution to the current problem, which obviously left them to figure out how to save themselves.
Oh, is this what they call a mediocre king
Duke Doro Klenges wiped his greasy face and sneered to himself.
As for mediocrity, he is actually the same, and he can't think of a better way.
In the end, Duke Doro Krenges decided to rob Peter to pay Paul, focusing on the big cities, sending manpower and resources there first, and then considering other areas after those places were stabilized.
If you can't save everything, you can only reduce the losses.
This is a microcosm of countless nobles of the Kingdom of Setis.
Duke Doro Krenges was busy again, but the reports on his desk did not decrease, but on the contrary, they continued to increase.
As more and more reports needed to be reviewed, Duke Doro Klenges became more and more irritated, as if he would explode completely with just a spark.
Just at this moment, someone knocked gently on the door, and Duke Doro Klenges was instantly filled with anger. He raised his head, and the sweet words were already on his lips.
Seeing the two little girls standing outside the door with a smile on their faces, Duke Doro Klenges's furious expression suddenly softened.
"Dad, you've worked hard. Let's make a cake, take a break, and then continue working, shall we?"
Two girls, about eleven or twelve years old and looking exactly the same, walked into the office of Duke Doro Klenges carrying a plate full of cakes.
Both of the twins have beautiful long pink hair, their faces are as delicate and cute as dolls, and there are star-like patterns floating in their watery eyes.
They are both daughters of Duke Doro Klenges, one is called Shuangnian Klenges and the other is called Shuangyi Klenges.
Not all Krengers have star eyes. Less than one-third of the Krengers have star eyes.
Every person with a Star Eye is a valuable asset to the Klenges family. They will continue to try to develop the abilities of the Star Eye and train a successor who can hold up the family.
The development process of StarEye was extremely difficult.
Duke Doro Krenges loved his two daughters very much. He only let them develop their eyes appropriately every day and never let them overwork.
No matter how hard or tiring his life is, Duke Doro Klenges can persevere as long as he can see his daughter's smile.
This time is no exception.
As he ate the cake his daughter brought him, Duke Doro Klenges's annoyance miraculously disappeared and he temporarily put everything behind him.
However, putting the problem behind you does not mean that it has been solved.
A series of hurried footsteps interrupted the warm atmosphere between the father and his two daughters.
The guard reported breathlessly: "Report! A huge rat-like monster suddenly appeared in the city's sewers and is wreaking havoc on the town!"
Upon hearing the news, Duke Doro Klenges was stunned, his head buzzing: "In the city? Here? How is this possible? This is not a monster forest, there shouldn't be any monsters here, how come..."
Duke Doro Klenges quickly walked up to the guard and whispered to confirm: "Are you telling the truth?"
"It is absolutely true. Quite a few houses have been destroyed by that monster. The guards in the city are unable to handle it for the time being and need reinforcements, so I came to report this."
As soon as the guard's voice fell, a series of footsteps sounded again, and a soldier urgently reported:
"Report! There is more than one monster appearing! There is a group of them! A large number of rat-shaped monsters are coming out of the drainage ditch!"
Duke Doro Klenges held his forehead, feeling a headache, and ordered in a trembling voice: "Quickly notify the combat team. They will have to take action this time. Tell them to be careful!"
"yes!"
The guard answered in a sonorous voice. Just as he was about to pass on the message, another guard ran over and reported with a look of relief:
"Report. Crisis resolved.
A group of adventurers appeared in the city and easily dealt with the monsters that swarmed up.
Those adventurers want to meet the head of the family."
Hearing the guards say this, Duke Doro Klenges tilted his head. It had only been a few minutes. Although he didn't know how strong those monsters were, he could tell from the soldiers' nervousness that those monsters were not something that could be easily dealt with.
Would an adventure group with such strength be an S-level adventure group
Before Duke Doro Klenges opened his mouth to ask, the guards gave the answer first:
".Miss, she's here too."
