Issues once again!

A new day in the desert kingdom of Jola begins with the sun rising over the sand dunes. The desert sands are cool in the morning, but they will heat up quickly as the day goes on. The people of Jola begin their day by going to the local food and supplies distribution center that are around each estate. After that, the people of Jola will go about their day, working in their homes or in the fields

A room was dimly lit by candles placed around the huge stone table. Fifteen people were seated around the table, with a young man at the far end in the middle. He looked to be about fifteen years old. The young man was Eugene and these all were the administration staff.

_____________________

Today was another administration staff meeting and I was already so woken up earlier than I usually do and went to the dining hall to have my breakfast served by Alice by the time I finished my meal of fish and potato bread. It was time for the meeting so I went to the meeting hall.

Sarah: Your majesty I know I always do this but we still have a food shortage problem and it's more evident after we added the new 25000 citizens into Jola.

I Know that already! I have been trying to come up with an idea for days now but I don't know what I need to search for with Aria to solve this.

"I know Ms. Sarah I will come up with something" I said even though I have no idea how I will solve it this time around. I know Conley's Imperial Fleet is coming and I can start trading with them but I don't want to if I do they will start asking for technology that we made in Jola, even though Conley's imperial Family is on good terms with me and mother it doesn't mean all the nobles in Conley are, if news traveled about this advance technology to Conley a rebellion will start so it's better to keep everything to ourselves for the time being.

Sarah nodded . Then Gray started.

"Your majesty Master Nille has already smelted all the iron tools and armor the enemy had into steel. We are already making more steam engines, Master Nille believes we will be able to make 3 more this week with the new labor."

This made me really happy we can have more steam engines which means things will get easier moving forward. We will have to use little man-power for tasks that take more manpower so I can add the free people to new tasks! but what Gray said next made me frown.

"I also have an issue, your majesty and it's the same as last time we don't have enough coal to run the steam engines we will be making."

Man there is always something that isn't, I remember Gray told me about this in the previous meeting but I was preoccupied by the food issue.

"I will look into it, we all know Conley's ships will come soon so rest assured" Nope , I don't plan on asking Conley for help. I am just saying this to ease the blacksmiths. I need to find another way.

Noah is the administration staff member placed in the clothes division so he helps Jessica with numbers.

"Your Majesty we don't have any raw materials to produce clothes for the new residents so Miss Jessica asked me to inform you , I believe we will be buying them from Conley?"

"Yes" replied to not make this complicated. I just want to get it over with. After all, everyone had the same problem. We don't have raw material to make things and I can't buy them from Conley!!.

Then finally Hughes spoke

"Your Majesty as you asked I have started recruiting new personnel for military both Man and women"

"Good" I said, then we continued the meeting about military and other stuff.

after I was alone I sighed

"Ha… Governing a place is really tough no wonder all the politicians on Earth become corrupt after a while"

"Aria get something on the food shortage issue"

(You know the drill darling, you gotta be specific, minimum information required)

"Alright Alright"

I have tried searching everything, like how do we deal with food shortage or how to make fruits and vegetables in a desert but nothing showed up because I was being too broad and vague . I should try something different this time.

"Aria Bring up controlled indoor farming"

(Here you go darling)

I know for a fact that in modern society we made a technology that can grow crops inside factories which are not supposed to grow in those specific regions controlling the temperature and stuff.After reading through, I understood that the aquaponics system is best for Jola right now which we should be able to make easily after all we have Icing make system and fertile soil so making a controlled greenhouse with aquaponics system would not be will not be difficult.

"I will look into aquaponics more then tell the blacksmiths and food production staff to do some trial and error I guess."

Next up I have to solve the Iron shortage problem. This will take a while I guess , wait a second. I just thought of something.

"Aria I want to know how the Japanese made steel, if I remember correctly they didn't really have any Iron mines as easily accessible then where did they make the steel to make swords and knives?" I know this because I used to watch anime and they always stated that their swords were made of Steel which was very rare in the west but they always had a steel sword or weapon with them?

(Tamahagane is a type of steel made in the Japanese tradition of iron sand.)

"Iron Sand?" (Iron Sand is sand which has a high concentration of iron in it; the pieces of iron that are extracted are called iron fillings.)

"No way is this what I think it is, you mean iron can be extracted from sand?"

(Yes, you can with a huge magnet)

"This is insane, I never thought about it!! Iron fillings! Jola is literally just sand; we can keep extracting iron directly from sand."

"I gotta read up on this too"

I will be staying up for many nights. I guess researching different stuff really takes a lot of time. I also want to make paper, cement and other stuff but just thinking about how much I need to read just to get instructions for the process gives me a headache.

`Somewhere at the border of Notopia and Yodan : Ancorna Empire`

The battlefield was strewn with the bodies of the dead and dying. The air was thick with the smell of blood and death. The sound of steel against steel echoed through the air. The clash of shields and the screams of the wounded filled the air. The ground was slippery with blood. The warriors fought fiercely, but eventually the tide of battle turned against the Yodan warriors and they were forced to retreat. As they fled the field, they left behind the bodies of their dead and dying comrades.

The victorious Notopia army stood among the dead and dying, their chests heaving with breath and their bodies covered in blood. They had fought hard and at great cost, but they had triumphed. The enemy had been defeated and the field belonged to them. As the survivors began to gather up the bodies of their fallen comrades, the sounds of victory rang out across the battlefield. The Yodan warriors had been defeated, but they had not been destroyed. They retreated to regroup and plan their next move. The Notopia army, meanwhile, celebrated their victory. They had won a great victory, but they knew that the war was far from over.

Tomorrow morning the Ancorna Imperial Army is coming to Notopia. They were supporting Notopia in this war because of the evidence shown by Eli's army that Duke Ryan killed the prince. Emperor Alec Ewan officially asked Yodan to hand over Duke Ryan for his crimes but they refused and said it was Notopia that killed Prince Eli than pushed the blame onto Yodan like this a war started between these two kingdoms, this was just the beginning in few more months the Empire of Ancorna will be turned upside down because of Conley's schemes.

next day

The Yodan warriors fought with vicious strength and the pirates were ruthless in their attack. The Notopia army was forced to retreat. The Yodan kingdom and the pirates took control of the battlefield. The Notopia army was scattered and defeated. The Yodan kingdom and the pirates were victorious.

=======================================================

I am a knight of the Notopia army Hans. I have fought in many battles, but none as fierce as this one. The Yodan warriors and the pirates were relentless in their attack. We were outnumbered and outmatched. The ground was slick with blood and the air was thick with the smell of death. I fought as hard as I could, but eventually I was forced to retreat. I am alive, but I do not feel like a winner. The Yodan kingdom and the pirates have taken control of the battlefield. Our army is scattered and defeated. This is not the end, but it feels like it.

Hans feels defeated. He knows that the Yodan kingdom and the pirates have taken control of the battlefield and that the Notopia army is scattered and defeated. He feels like this is the end, but he knows that it is not. He knows that the imperial army is on its way and that they will be able to defeat the Yodan kingdom and the pirates. Hans is hopeful that the imperial army will arrive in time and that they will be able to save the Notopia army from defeat.

Hans: This is a nightmare. We were completely unprepared for an attack from the Yodan kingdom and the pirates. We're scattered and defeated.

Knight 1: We need to regroup and plan our next move. We can't give up. Hans: I know, but it feels like we're fighting a losing battle. The Yodan kingdom and the pirates have taken control of the battlefield. Our army is in disarray.

Knight 2: We need to find a way to get the imperial army here sooner. They're our only hope.

Hans: I don't know if that's possible. The Yodan kingdom and the pirates have a strong hold on the battlefield. We need to be prepared for the worst and have hope that they can defeat them.
