E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 105 - New Policy

Several days had passed since Leo took over the government in Venice.

However, the problems left by Achibald's selfish actions, as well as the city's uncaring ruler, were so great.

In this meeting attended by at least 20 people, Leo was faced with a reality that was so bitter. That the problems that exist in the City of Venice today is very critical to be able to make this city perish instantly.

"You sure about that?" Ask Leo again.

"Of course, sir. Anyway, I'm handling the logistical issues regarding the departure of troops to the Eastfort area. At least, they carry 95% of all supplies in this City." Obviously one of the female officers.

He appears to be wearing glasses that are thick enough and is sorting out some of the files that accumulate in front of him.

Hearing that, Leo could only pat his own forehead. Drown his face in his right palm.

"That's right.... Wouldn't this city only be able to survive for another 5 days if it continued like this?" Leo complained to everyone.

What he meant was food security in this city.

Thanks to such a large number of troops, they also needed a large reserve of food during the journey.

And it resulted in the depletion of food supplies in the city of Venice. Leaving the city on the brink of famine.

"So that's what caused so many riots in this city...." Selene is standing behind Leo.

"Artemist. How much energy have you accumulated?" Ask Leo to change the topic.

"About 140 people. Currently, they were arming themselves with various kitchen utensils from their homes." Reply Artemis.

"good. Immediately make a patrol plan and divide them evenly. Each patrol has at least 2 people. Can you do it?" Ask Leo.

"I'll work on it."

After resolving the security issue, Leo immediately turned back to the city's food crisis.

"Miss Verun. What about the sea? Is it frozen completely?" Ask Leo to an employee who is focused on managing the port area.

"The ocean freezes about 10 cm on the surface. The bottom is still as usual." Obviously that woman named Verun.

Leo seemed silent for a moment. It was as if he was thinking about what he should do with that information.

At last, he returned to talking.

"Then we will hunt fish in the sea. Ferry, have you seen some of the gun records I submitted yesterday?" Leo asked one of his right hands.

The man quickly answered Leo's question.

"of course. If I may guess, do we need to make that harpoon?" Ask Ferry.

A faint smile was seen on Leo's face. He did not expect that Ferry would immediately understand what he meant.

"You're really deft, Ferry. And right, we need a harpoon with a strong rope. Can you make it with the help of 60 of our soldiers?"

"I'll finish at least 12 pieces in 2 days." Reply Ferry.

"No. 12 is too little. Make it 20 in 2 days."

"Then, I'll work on it."

Now, the food problem will be slightly resolved. After all, the population of Venice currently only reaches 40,000 people, most of whom are women, while a small percentage are small children or elderly people.

If Leo can catch a big fish, then increase the number of harpoons to do so, maybe they can survive this deadly winter.

And then it goes on to another problem....

"Mr Leo, the defense of this city is really bad. If only the bandit group from the Forest in the East realized it, maybe we would be in a bad position." It was clearly another woman who had long black hair.

"I even lack the strength to maintain order. What can I do, I'm allowing you to form an emergency division. Gather 200 young women. I've been thinking something."

"By soon, sir. But only 200.... Moreover, facing the bandits, I don't think women will...." Reply to the woman named Luna.

"You think there's still a young man in town? All have gone to war. Old men and young children are far more helpless than women aged 20 to 30. Reina, can I ask for your help?" Leo asked the blonde girl.

"Help Luna to train the troops. For the time being, use the weapon as is. But I'll get them a gun ready." Obviously Leo.

"How many bandits are there? If only about 20 people maybe I could myself...."

Before Reina finished her words, the military officer named Luna immediately replied.

"The group of Red Skull bandits in the East numbered at least 1,000 people last year. We don't know the numbers at the moment, but they've never been captured."

"If that much...."

Letting the two of them talk, Leo then turned to another topic that needed his attention more.

Until finally, a large meeting that lasted for more than 3 hours was completed. Leo managed to at least handle most of the problems. But he did not know how long his emergency treatment could last.

......***......

Three days later....

Marine Territory on the Western side of the Port....

"Shoot well! Ready it! Fire it!" Shouted Leo loudly.

Dozens of people standing on the large ship pointed the small-sized balista towards the sea with the shattered ice.

With those cues, they shot him into the sea simultaneously.

'Bab!!!'

A large arrow with a large hook at the end as well as a thick rope shot to the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, there was the sound of a loud animal screaming.

'Nguu.u....'

Leo who stood on the ice shards that were tossed udders was not just silent. Taking advantage of his Mana relationship with Selene, Leo now has almost unlimited magic opportunities.

Turning his right hand towards the seawater, Leo activated a lightning magic by using the water as the formation medium.

The result is very simple.

It may be similar to the electric electrocution devices that modern humans use on earth.

Only, the difference is the electrical power used by Leo today....

'Zaaapp!!!'

A fairly large lightning bolt seemed to strike towards the bottom of the sea. Surprising all animals in it in an area of about 100 meters more with high electrical voltage.

Leo's left hand that was only silent seemed to start emitting a beautiful blue light on the wrist of his arm. It shows that he still continues to absorb Selene's Mana to this day.

On the other hand, Selene looked a little limp. But unlike before, Leo already knows the limits of how much Mana he should use.

And along with that....

"Pull!" Shouted Leo loudly while immediately jumping away from the place.

Everyone who had fired the harpoon weapon began to turn the wooden lever on the side of the shooter.

Little by little attracted the animals that were successfully shot by him.

Until finally, what is targeted by Leo begins to be seen. It was a large humpback whale. Which at least....

It could provide for the city's meat and food for a while.

And also, this was not their last hunt. But the first one at once became a marker of a new beginning in this city.

All of that is evidenced by the wide smiles of the fishermen who hunt the whale.
