System vs Rebirth

On the plaza, a crowd of people were gathering as they seemed to have an announcement to make.

"The lord is planning to employ one hundred men to build a main water storage for an unlimited supply of water for the city. You will be paid seventy cooper coins per day."

Instead of seventy cooper coins, the people were actually more interested in what they were building. The people had suffered from this water problem for a long time to the point where they had grown accustomed to it.

So, the moment they heard that they would be able to get an unlimited amount of water, they couldn't help but look at each other, extremely interested in it.

"I am 21 years old, Roy. How do I sign up for the job?"

"Wait. I am…"

"I…"

They immediately flocked the people from the mayor office, trying to become a part of it. As Noel predicted, it didn't take too long to get all the workers. That was why he wanted the best people so that the construction could be finished faster.

After distributing enough water, Noel left everything to the rest. Anna seemed to be accompanying him as they were going to meet with Grandell.

"Sir!" Grandell placed his hand on his chest.

"How is the city?"

"It's awful, Sir. There are a lot of buildings that can collapse at any time. The area near the wall is destroyed. The west wall suffers the most damage and needs to be prioritized. While the morale has not completely plummeted, they don't have any high hope either.

"After receiving the water, they gain a bit of hope, but it's not enough. I'm not sure about the spies, but I can guard one important place." Grandell reported.

"I see." Noel thought for a moment and asked Anna, "What do you think?"

"Since you're going to send some funds from the main city, it should be enough to repair the west wall while completing the current project. It's just… if the enemies dare to sabotage it, we would be in trouble. Our funds are already limited, so we have to be careful." Anna explained.

"Grandell. Your job now is to protect the main storage construction. Also, spread the soldiers to check the people's improvement like their morale, hope, and other things. The better they are, the quicker we can finish this project. I'm not sure about how long we will stay here, but
