Lin De declined Jefferson's request to stay overnight and took Lena back to Gray Collar that day.

The information Jefferson provided about the heroine Isa was not useless. At least among the outrageous information, there were two points that could be confirmed.

One is that the heroine Isa Nebet killed the lord of Luye Territory, proclaimed herself to be the White Saint, and raised the flag of rebellion.

Second, the heroine Isa Nebet is now heading towards the west of the northern border, which is the direction of the gray and white collar.

It is meaningless to delve into the reasons for Isa's rebellion now. What Lind is most concerned about is when the heroine will reach the gray-collar position and how many people she will bring with her.

Although the information written by the bard on the parchment was exaggerated, according to Lind's calculations, the number of people brought by the heroine was not large, only a few thousand at most, at least not tens of millions. There were not so many people in the entire North.

Although she was said to be rebelling, the heroine did not have a base, and she even failed to capture the Luye Territory that she had attacked at the beginning.

Lind estimated that it was because the heroine Isa had no force behind her rebellion to help her, and there were not many professionals. It was impossible for her to occupy a place for a long time with a group of civilians. After all, there was still an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and professionals.

The reason for going west to the northern border is mostly because there are many small nobles here, and the power of the nobles is generally not strong. In addition, even in the sparsely populated northern border, the west side is also a place with a very low population density, so occupying a hill in the west may really be unattended.

After returning to the territory, or more precisely, the gray-and-white collar in the camp, Lind ignored Rena, who had been chattering beside him and wanted to see how the sugar was produced, and thought about the possibility of recruiting the heroine Isa.

In the North right now, there is an invasion by demons, chaos among aristocratic factions, and the biggest lord is fighting a war of succession. No one really cares about one or two rebels.

The only problem is that the heroine has already killed a count.

So, which is more important: sheltering a traitor who killed nobles, or winning over a man of destiny?

Well, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the heroine.

According to the setting, the heroine is not only a living god designated by the goddess, but also a saint in the true sense. In the later stages of the game, she can really perform miracles. Even when the situation in the North is completely chaotic, as long as the heroine waves her hand and casually performs the miracles in the game, she can completely establish a new religion on the spot.

This is not even counting the heroine's incredible luck. It was even written on the parchment that when the heroine was attacking the castle, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky and crushed Count Jager to death. Linde felt that it was not impossible.

As for the rebels brought by the heroine, it would be more accurate to say that they were a group of refugees.

Are they refugees? They are laborers!

Lind just didn't know how to spend the money he had just earned from Jefferson. If this place could accommodate the refugees brought by the heroine, the reclamation and development of the territory could be accelerated. A lot of experiments that Lind had been dreaming of could also be carried out boldly without worrying about occupying the important population of the territory.

What's more, whether from the game or now that the heroine is leading the refugees in rebellion, the heroine is a rare management talent. Isn't she going to be severely exploited?

Thinking of this, Lind's mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK.

"Brother? Brother!"

Looking at Linde who had been daydreaming and suddenly started to smile foolishly, Lena worriedly shook Linde with her hand, wondering if Linde was too exhausted from working non-stop to manage the territory recently.

But Lind suddenly came to his senses and said to Lena with the expression of someone who was talking about serious matters: "Ms. Lars, what do you think of that rebellious Isa?"

Seeing that Linde had returned to normal, Reina felt relieved. She pulled a chair and sat down comfortably, asking, "Why? Is that Isha Nebet your relative?"

"more or less."

Linde chose to muddle through it. After all, he inherited the heroine's attributes, so it made sense to say that they were relatives.

"I want to arrange for her to come to the territory. You also know that the territory is short of people. The assistance from our grandfather is not enough to quench the thirst."

"But she is a traitor."

Reina frowned slightly.

Traitor, that is also a military achievement, and it is one of the criteria used by Grand Duke Lars to assess his successor. In Lena's eyes, the heroine Isa is more like a walking military achievement.

Before, Reina went into the mountains every day not only to hunt, but also to look for bandits and rebels who were occupying the mountains and claiming to be kings.

But unfortunately, a group of fully armed professional cavalrymen were so conspicuous that Reina gained nothing. What's more, most of the bandits were actually the black gloves of the nobles. Who would be crazy enough to target the granddaughter of the greatest noble in the North?

Although Rena objected, it was not difficult for Linde to convince her, and he started to tease the child right away.

"Ms. Lars, do you think those people Isa brought were refugees?"

Hearing Lind's question, Reina was a little confused and replied: "Of course, those people killed Count Jager and are traitors, but they are indeed refugees from the northern border."

"Then did our grandfather issue a relief order and give us food to help the refugees?"

"Yes, I thought there wouldn't be any refugees coming to such a remote territory."

Gray Collar naturally received a portion of the relief food that Grand Duke Lars distributed to the lords in the North, but this portion was more like a gift from Grand Duke Lars to his granddaughter. After all, how could there be refugees coming to such a remote Gray Collar?

"Then let me ask you, since the people Isa brought are refugees, and our grandfather has ordered Lars's people to help the refugees, shouldn't we help these refugees?"

"what?"

Reina's brain was a little confused. It seemed to be true, but something was wrong.

"But they are also rebels!"

Reina suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pointed out the key to the problem. She was just a little slow in thinking, but she was not really stupid.

Linde was a little shocked. How could he not be fooled? It seemed that Reina was smarter than he thought. At least he would not have to worry about her being kidnapped when she went to the battlefield in the future.

"Yes, they are rebels, so after they receive the relief food, I will punish them by making them work hard in my territory to pay for their sins. Is that a problem?"

"No...no."

Reina always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words. It seemed that pointing out that Isa's group was traitors had used up Reina's memory for today.

"As the leader of the rebels, Isa Nebet must be captured directly in the territory. As a captive, she will naturally work for us in the territory. Is there a problem?"

"No, no."

Seeing Rena's empty eyes and dull answers, Linde knew that he had succeeded in fooling people. Then he was satisfied and called Laurie and Lila, who had died from overwork, to discuss how to receive the refugees brought by Isa.

When they heard that someone could share their work, they naturally agreed to Lind's proposal. Even Lila, who always had a poker face, showed an evil smile.

This frightened Rena, who had been watching from the side, and she wanted to tell Lind that it was inhumane to treat prisoners like this, but it was obviously too late.
