Once a wandering prince fleeing all around, Ivita had become the lord of some rather sizeable lands.

While this was still a territory within a mountain pass, it was a vital route nonetheless.

Ivita instantly set up seven toll booths in his territory for collecting transit fees. Within a week, these stations built with wood and brick were essentially up and running.

There was no choice, after all, his land originally didn’t have much in the way of agriculture or handicrafts.

What’s more, it was completely wiped out after it was targeted by the Sons of the Forest.

Furthermore, after this destruction, the original population of thirty to forty thousand dwindled to a barely ten thousand.

And still, people were fleeing each day.

Without farmland, what would people eat?

Moreover, the replacement of their ruler caused people to lose faith in the barony, hence the phenomenon of mass escapement of serfs occurred.
