The secret incursion into the Stantin Duchy by Duke Windsor's subordinates might have been a major affair to Kennard, but across the Sains Continent, it was merely an insignificant incident that hardly anyone knew about-and that no one would care about even if they did.
As early autumn arrived, there was only one thing that mattered most to every country and every person on the continent: the autumn harvest.
Over the eight-plus years since the Xinfei Merchant Guild invented farmland magic machinery and began promoting it, the countries in the southwestern corner of the Sains Continent had largely adopted this new method of mechanized farming.
While other countries were still laboring over their harvests, the Lampari Kingdom, the Rulson Kingdom, the Candel Duchy, the Milando Duchy, the Norton Duchy, and other nations had already brought every last bit of grain from their fields safely into their granaries.
Even the Falk Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom, which had only begun promoting mechanized farming within the past two years, had now essentially finished their initial harvesting.
Unlike the other countries, however, which had developed complete systems over many years, the Falk Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom had only just established reasonably comprehensive harvesting systems. The subsequent processes, such as mechanized planting, deep plowing, and farmland improvement, were still being developed.
