After sending my troops to various areas, I decided to invite my friends and Monica and her father to a trip, to show them how things work. The nobles that survived also decided to join, desiring to see them working too.
Flying over the giant Ruby, which was much larger than my Wyvern Familiars, he carried us all the way to the nearest mountain in the neighboring Silver Shield Territory, a large mountain with a snowy cap named "Snowfield Mountain" whose depths harbored rich mines filled with high quality Mana Crystals and other Magical Ores.
The temperatures here were too low and the entrance to the mine leading to the ores was also too high, so it was virtually impossible for normal peasants to come here and do their job properly, and the Lord of this territory, even before the invasion, had not enough funds to pay stronger people with high levels to mine, who were usually prestigious Adventurers.
