Chapter 247

Viscount Redore finally managed to stabilized the situation with the residents of the city by distributing to the common people a portion of the gathered supplies that was supposedly to be delivered to the Albernans who were defending the Tortuga Fortress. There was no other way for them to earn the trust and loyalty of the people easily but somehow by distributing a portion of the supplies, it would hopefully calm their nerves a bit and would lower the chance of a rebellion happening. The viscount was afraid of such a thing happening since they are outnumbered by more than ten to one by the residents of the city and if a massive uprising happens then they had no other choice but to abandon the city that they have painstakingly captured and the sacrifices of their comrades would be in vain if they can't maintain control of the city.
