Chapter 670: I won't!

Elsie's proposal received support from everyone. A few nobles chimed in, "Yes, moving wealth away to avoid the black dragon is better than fighting it head-on."

The dwarf leader added, "The steam engine must be moved away. It's more precious than any wealth, and the black dragon will surely come to steal it."

The elf elder added, "The paper mill and printing plant must be moved away. This is the real wealth. If I were the black dragon, I would loot these two places first."

Robb scoffed and laughed, "Shut up and do what you need to do. I won't stop you from moving your wealth because everyone has their own goals and ideas. But if you want me to order the entire city's assets to be moved, forget it."

It was impossible for Robb to order the transfer of the city's assets!

He had been playing this simulation city game for more than three years, and he had finally achieved the size and condition it was in now. If he were to move its assets now, it would be a complete disaster.

A developing city cannot be separated from its capital.

The key to making a big city is the effect of hoarding. If all the wealth in the city is moved to the countryside to avoid an attack, it will cause a significant blow to the entire city's economy. Although it's only a year, how many years will it take to recover from the blank space of a year?

Robb saw them leaving together in the same direction and knew they were going to discuss what to do next. However, he couldn't be bothered to deal with this kind of thing, so he let them go and mess around on their own.

Just as he was about to stretch his muscles and go soak in a hot spring, the crystal ball on the table suddenly lit up.

Robb answered the phone and immediately saw the beautiful face of the Queen.

"As soon as the phone connected, the queen spoke quickly, "It's autumn!'

Robb was amused as he knew that she was going to talk about the same thing. "Okay, are you here to remind me that 1348 is almost here?"

"Exactly!" The queen said, "So, the wild and lawless Robb also knows how to calculate the Year of the Black Dragon’s flight."

Robb shrugged. "I wasn't going to, but a large group of people came to remind me today. I can't help but count it now. And yes, you're one of them."

The queen fell silent.

It was an awkward moment, but the queen wasn't one to shy away from them. A few seconds later, she regained her composure and asked, "Are the nobles on your side beginning to be unstable and leaving?"

Robb nodded. "Yes, some are taking their wealth and running, some are taking their steam engines, and there's an old man who wants to move the paper and printing factories. It's insane."

The queen burst out laughing, slapping the table. She was hysterical.

Robb said, "What are you laughing about? I'm sure things aren't much better on your end. After all, Bright Road is a wealthy city."

For a moment, the queen stopped laughing and sat up straight. She quickly regained her composure, and her face became serious again. It was hard to believe that a second ago she was laughing and hitting the table. Robb was impressed by how easily she could switch between emotions.
