Dardiel City, the scent of war has already pervaded every corner of the city.
Unnoticeably, the prices of goods in the city have quietly begun to rise, especially for the essential daily necessities.
The Prefecture Government has issued multiple statements to stabilize prices, but in the face of rising fear and hysteria, the market has lost its rationality.
Fuelled further by greedy merchants, the prices soared even faster.
The most affected are the Northern army soldiers who have followed Viscount West southward.
Being away from home for such a long time, homesickness strikes hard. Now with the looming war and families remaining on the Northern Front Line, these emotions intensify even more.
To soothe the soldiers' morale, Viscount West has made many efforts. The majority of the soldiers residing here all have established families—anxiety for their homeland runs deep in their hearts.
