The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Li Xuan did not doubt Jerde's ability. From the previous situation, it can be seen that he did not have the attitude of wanting to exploit his subjects to the extreme.

In addition, he has his own abilities, so what Jerde says is highly credible.

Li Xuan glanced at the time outside and said regretfully, "Time is running out. I have to leave now."

Gerald: "So soon? Why don't you take a rest for a night? We actually have a lot of special foods here, I believe you will like it."

Li Xuan shook his head: "No, maybe next time. The war is about to begin, and no one can stay out of it. My mission was issued by a troublesome guy himself. If I don't take it seriously, I might be nagged again."

Jerde was very confused. Li Xuan claimed to be the Pope, so why was he still being nagged by others?

Isn’t the Pope the most powerful position in the Holy Church?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered for the time being.

Li Xuan left at lightning speed, not giving Jerde any chance to ask questions.

Watching Li Xuan walking away, Jerde turned his gaze to the table full of gold bars.

These funds are enough to pay off previous debts, and also to bribe other nobles around him to provide the necessary material resources for the development of his territory.

Even if he uses it properly, he can influence the king's decision.

However, the Golden Rooster Kingdom has now begun to countdown, and it is estimated that it will not last long.

After the fall of the Kingdom of Golden Rooster, the original royal family was either enslaved, exiled to a desolate place, or died on the spot. It could be said that they had almost no future.

Jerde sighed slightly, gently brushed the gold bars on the table, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The wealth that was once unattainable is now within reach.

Gerd thought about it carefully and found that the money seemed to have other uses.

As for the debts owed by those merchants, they have been owed for so long that they don’t care about this little bit of time anymore.

And he was not afraid of those people coming to collect debts.

Now the Kingdom of Golden Rooster is preparing to make its last stand and needs a lot of money. These businessmen will be the first to be hit and will definitely be the first targets to be harvested.

They didn't even have time to deal with the king's exploitation, let alone travel thousands of miles to the territory to collect debts from him.

Thinking about the current situation, Jerde couldn't help but admire his parents for being so far-sighted that they actually thought of borrowing money from a distant chamber of commerce.

Of course, part of the reason may be that the surrounding chambers of commerce are well aware of their situation and are unwilling to do business at a loss.

The chambers of commerce outside only saw the temptation of a duchy, but did not notice the trap hidden within it.

Once this trap is triggered, they will definitely lose everything they have invested.

The entire territory has been able to survive until now mainly because of Jerde's strategic planning, which has helped it avoid countless bankruptcy crises.

It’s a pity that when people are at their limit, even Gerd can’t do anything to save a devastated territory.

Without the capital injection from Li Xuan, he could only last for half a year at most. After half a year, his method of tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall would completely collapse because there was no support for the next step.

But now everything is not a problem. With this money, he can do anything!

Soon, Jerde thought of the plan he had made long ago.

He customized this plan in his spare time after contacting Li Xuan. The general content is about how to develop the territory with sufficient funds.

This plan was actually just a casual creation, mainly because he was not sure whether Li Xuan would come.

I originally thought that Li Xuan had given up, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

Jerde murmured, "What should we do next? Should we address the infrastructure issue first, or increase research funding for the institute..."

……

After Li Xuan left, he moved towards the battlefield.

He originally thought that he would have time to rest this time, but he didn't expect that before he could say a few words, the Golden Rooster Kingdom was ready to launch a decisive battle.

Fortunately, Rajeld had already joined the group, otherwise he would have been in a real dilemma.

Not long after, Li Xuan crossed a plain and came to a small town.

He slowly stopped and began to observe his surroundings.

This small town is located on the border of the Kingdom of Golden Rooster. It is an ordinary town that no one cares about.

But now, the outskirts of this small town are crowded with people, and many soldiers in uniform are stationed in neat rows outside the city.

Obviously, this army is the elite force prepared by the Golden Rooster Kingdom for the final battle.

Li Xuan didn't expect that he would find the corresponding position so quickly.

It's just that the discipline of this unit is too strict, and its actions are very regular, and it seems that it can really fight against the coalition forces.

This kind of troops are the ace among aces no matter which country they are placed in.

only……

Li Xuan didn't dare to go over and check the situation directly.

Because he saw with his own eyes that the soldiers in that unit actually captured the refugees nearby and locked them up together, as if they were preparing to use these people for something.

Due to the short observation time, Li Xuan has only seen the process of these people capturing refugees.

As for what they were going to do, Li Xuan didn't know for the time being and only had a few guesses.

These speculations have no actual basis, so it doesn't matter whether you say them or not.

Originally, he was thinking of disguising himself as an old man or a child to sneak into the city.

But when he saw several elderly people who could hardly walk and children who had not yet learned to walk being taken away, he gave up the idea.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan appeared in the small town.

Of course, he did not use a disguise method that could be easily detected. Instead, he took advantage of the night and used his special abilities to eliminate his own presence while blending into the night.

In this way, not only can you move freely, but you can also observe the situation in the small town up close.

After entering the city, Li Xuan noticed that there were very few people on the streets, and everyone's face showed a fatigue that could not be underestimated, as if they were all trying hard to live.

Before long, he traveled all over the town.

According to some hearsay, the army stationed outside is the Golden Rooster Kingdom's ace force, the Phoenix Legion.

Rumor has it that the Phoenix Legion was formed by the first king of the Golden Rooster Kingdom. They are invincible on the battlefield. Even if the soldiers are fatally injured, they can still brandish their weapons like phoenixes.

The Phoenix Legion captured refugees in order to use them as vanguards and consume the coalition forces' weapons and equipment.

They were even beginning to be dissatisfied with the refugees outside the city. Anyone inside the city who did not have the corresponding identification would also be arrested.

Before entering the city, Li Xuan observed the place where refugees were detained. It was very simple and not suitable for survival at all.
