Chapter 233 Forced Evacuation

Finished

The people, already anxious from losing their homes and loved ones, immediately crowded around upon hearing

the two men speak, demanding to know what had happened.

One of the men, his voice rough with exhaustion, declared, “I am the son of Doctor Dilan Charlton from

Bumblewick. My father went out on a medical visit last night and has not returned. Fearing something had

happened to him, | settled my affairs and took my younger brother to search for him. We ran through the city all

night, but all we saw was King Kamari’s soldiers stationed at his residence. He gave no orders for disaster relief,

and every granary was heavily guarded.”

He suddenly turned to Hector, eyes burning with anger. “Mr. Maximum, don’t deceive us. You just cfrom the

granary yourself. King Kamari refuses to open them and wants us to starve, right?”

The crowd gasped in shock. They stared at Hector and interrogated him for the truth.

Hector was momentarily speechless. He did not even know how to calm them down.

As the tense standoff continued, an officer rushed in with a report. “Sir, the County Princess of Cromwell, Isolde,

has arrived with Lord Doug Becker and General Kolton Sharp to assist. Marshal Garrett has also delivered military

rations for the disaster victims as an emergency relief measure!”

A wave of relief surged through Hector. He was well aware that the County Princess had stationed herself with

three thousand troops at East Bridge.

The rumors about the heavy rain also cfrom her group, saying she was following imperial orders to help the

displaced people. As for why she hadn't entered the city, it was probably because Kamari had stopped her.

But none of that mattered to him now. All he knew was that his people would finally have food to eat.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and commanded, “Let's go welcthe County Princess.”

As Hector watched the three thousand soldiers march through the storm, their armor drenched by the pouring

rain, he saw Isolde, Kolton, and Doug, soaked but steady. The hardships of the day weighed on him, and

suddenly, his heart tingled with emotion. Stepping forward, he bowed deeply. “WelcYour Highness, Lord

Becker, and General Sharp.”

Isolde reached out, clasping his hand firmly. With solemn determination, she said, “Mr. Maximus, there's no need

for formalities. The people need us, let's act swiftly.”

Warmth surged through Hector’s chest. His throat tightened, and for the first tin a long while, he struggled

to hold back his emotions.

When the victims knew that Royal Court troops had cto help, they were all excited.

Isolde took advantage of everyone's enthusiasm and mobilized sof the stronger villagers to assist in the

rescue efforts.

She knew the heavy rain had made the mountains unstable. If they didn’t act fast, landslides could bury entire

villages. Determined to prevent such a tragedy, she acted swiftly, evacuating villagers before the mountains

could collapse. When srefused to leave, she ordered her soldiers to take them by force. Many stubborn

villagers cursed her for it, but she paid them no mind.

Yet, despite her efforts, swere even more resistant to leaving.

On the second night after the Royal Court’s army joined the disaster relief efforts, the villagers of Rustwood

Village were to be evacuated.

In Rustwood Village, a disaster was about to strike. According to reports, the entire village would be buried,

leaving no survivors. If that happened, Hector would be held responsible and stripped of his official position.

The disaster was predicted to happen at 1 AM on August 23rd. It was now 12 PM on August 22nd, meaning there

was just over an hour left before the disaster struck.

Isolde had been searching for the village since yesterday, but the road into the mountains had been blocked by

massive boulders. After continuous clearing efforts, she finally reached the village at 9 PM tonight.

However, upon hearing about the planned evacuation, the village chief of Rustwood Village flew into a rage. He

argued that their village had endured countless storms over the years without incident, and abandoning their

homes to flee was absolutely out of the question.

Hector stepped forward to persuade the villagers, but the village chief stubbornly refused to leave.

Seeing that twas running out, Isolde gave the order: “Those who are willing to leave, go now. Tie up those

who refuse, load them onto the ox carts, and take them out.”

For a dignified village chief to be tied up and taken away on an ox cart was an immense humiliation.

The people of Rustwood Village naturally opposed this. In their village, the chief was also the clan leader, a figure

of great respect and authority.

Upon hearing that their chief was to be bound, the young men clenched their fists, ready to fight the soldiers.

Isolde surveyed the situation. If a fight broke out, they might not stand a chance. The people of Rustwood

numbered in the thousands, while the soldiers who had entered the mountains were only about a hundred.

Hector pulled Isolde aside and whispered, “County Princess, Rustwood is a village of martial artists. Even the

women here know how to fight. If this turns into a real brawl, we'll be at a disadvantage.”

“Martial artists?” Isolde glanced at the young men, all clenching their fists, their physiques strong and well-

trained. Even the village chief, who had just been panting in anger, still carried the vigor of youth, his stomp left

a deep imprint in the ground.

“Since they are martial artists, they should respect the way of combat. The strongest should have the final say.”

With that, Isolde strode up to the village chief and said in a firm voice, “I have long heard of your great martial

prowess, respected not only in Rustwood but throughout all of Zloimond. But today, the lives of your villagers are

at stake. | may be overestimating myself, but | challenge the warriors of Rustwood. If | win, you will leave with
