The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Viscount Molson's title and fiefdom were originally conferred directly by the royal family. To the south of his territory were the territories of two other hereditary barons.

But these two hereditary barons were vassals of the Earl of Castile and did not wear the same trousers as Viscount Molson.

So the final result was: Wolf and his companions could only take a detour through the hereditary territories of these two barons to return to the White Bear Territory.

After gathering information, Soran also learned the reason why Viscount Molson was targeting him.

Viscount Molson's brother-in-law turned out to be Sir Jacques. He did this to help his brother-in-law vent his anger.

They did this, it was fair to say so, after all, they were helping their relatives and venting their anger; but it was also not fair to say so, because they offended a powerful hereditary baron for the sake of a little lord who had been stripped of his powers.

It depends on your personal understanding!

But obviously, Sauron would not care about these twists and turns, because what was at stake was his own face.

Therefore, the feud between Soran and Viscount Molson was officially established this time.

Soran felt that he had to fight back, otherwise he would be easily treated as a soft persimmon by other nobles and easily taken advantage of!

But there is no need to rush, there is a long time to come, and there is plenty of time to make things happen.

..............................

September 4877, 4 in the Knight Continent calendar.

After two days of detours and long journey, the eastward team led by Wolf finally arrived at the new territory - White Bear Territory.

There were a total of 437 people in this eastward-bound team, including not only the families of the fallen soldiers, but also a small number of young and middle-aged laborers taken in by Wolfe on the road, such as some vagrants, defected slaves, fugitives, etc.

The entire team is mainly composed of the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the number of young and middle-aged people is less than seventy.

It can be said that such a team played a very small role for the White Bear Territory, which was just beginning to develop and construct. The territory even had to pay money to subsidize their lives.

But despite this, Soran still received them very warmly and instructed the government office to arrange for them to be placed in the newly built refugee resettlement center.

These are basically the relatives of his colleagues who have been with him through thick and thin, and his baron title also has a share of the credit due to them.

Soran kept it in mind!

So even though they have died in battle now, their relatives were lucky enough to be brought to the territory by me, so I naturally have to treat them well and take good care of them.

As the saying goes: If you become rich and powerful, don’t forget your friends!

Soran didn't dare to say that he could make them rich and powerful and wear gold and silver.

But it is still possible to solve their basic problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, such as daily food and clothing, and heating in all four seasons.

Of course, it was impossible for Sauron to worship them as his ancestors!

This also includes independent labor. Those who need to work should work, and those who can be self-reliant should be self-reliant.

With the current development of White Bear Territory, there are plenty of jobs for you to earn money to support yourself and your family.

Otherwise you will starve to death or be reduced to a slave!

..............................

At noon, Soran specifically instructed Javier to ask the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal.

So at dinner time, in the big dining room of the Baron's mansion, Soren led Adam, Javier, Ramos, Gubellini and Henry to warmly welcome Woolf, Martin, Borgia and Cottonbass.

[Note: Among the team that followed Soran back from the Principality of Golia, there were two who had not yet broken through to the entry-level knight, and this Cottonbass was one of them; the other was Jim, but he did not follow him to the White Bear Territory.]

Wolfe, Martin, Borgia and Cottonbass were also very happy to be warmly received by the Baron as soon as they returned to the White Bear Territory.

This instantly swept away the depressed mood they had felt because of the unnecessary detour they had taken a few days ago, and their faces were filled with joy that was beyond words.

This sumptuous dinner could be said to be the most sumptuous meal they had had during the nearly two months of traveling.

While they were eating and drinking contentedly, they talked about the various difficulties or interesting things they encountered on the road. The atmosphere of the whole dinner was extremely harmonious.

In the newly built refugee resettlement center of the White Bear Territory, the newly arrived members of the territory not only lived in new houses, but also had an extremely sumptuous dinner.

Because this dinner might be the most sumptuous dinner they have ever had in their lives.

Because there is a small amount of meat and the bread is large and filling.

At the same time, the quality of this bread is much better than the dark black bread I used to eat.

The Baron's wonderful and warm reception also quickly calmed their uneasy mood throughout the journey.

After all, if it weren't for the pressure of reality, who would be willing to live a life of leaving home and wandering?

Those who were able to follow Wolfe on his journey east were actually people who found it difficult to survive in their original territories.

But the road ahead is long and uncertain, so how can they not feel uneasy?

The dinner arranged by the Baron could be said to be a very good reassurance to them!

Today, they are full of expectations and enthusiasm for creating a new and beautiful life in this new territory!

Even the dreams I have at night are sweet and fragrant!

..............................

There is actually not much to say about the arrangements for these new subjects. Just follow the relevant resettlement procedures.

Now let them live in the resettlement center first, and when they earn enough money through work, they will be moved to the newly planned village.

Of course, for some families that are really in difficulty, the government service office will also handle the situation as appropriate.

Either provide them with some policy subsidies, or help them build houses and settle their lives through low-interest loans or even interest-free loans, and then they can pay them back slowly in the end.

As for Wolfe, Martin, Borgia, and Cotton Bass...

First of all, there is Wolfe. Although Soran had already identified him as the candidate for the territorial political officer, he certainly could not take over the position of territorial political officer directly upon arrival.

It’s not that Adam is reluctant to give up this position, but Woolf has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation!

So Soran first arranged for him to help Adam, so that he could get familiar with the work that the territorial administrator needed to do.

When the right opportunity is found later, he will be formally appointed.

There is also Gubellini, who will be appointed as the treasurer of the territory to share Javier's work.

Ever since the mansion recruited servants last time, Javier has become increasingly busier.

Next are Martin and Borgia. They are both at the professional level of entry-level knights, so Soran put them into the territory guard.

Among them, Martin served as the deputy of military officer Ramos and served as the deputy captain of the first squadron of the White Bear Territory Guard.

This appointment may be intended to allow him to take over Ramos' job at any time.

As deputy to Quartermaster Henry, Borgia served as the deputy captain of the Second Squadron of the White Bear Territory Guard.

This Borgia's brain is not as sharp as Ramos's, so although he has the professional level of an entry-level knight, he can only serve as Henry's deputy.

Finally, Cottonbass, Sauron appointed him as the director of the refugee resettlement center, and asked him to manage the new residents, including some residents that Sauron brought from Connat City, and outsiders who might join the White Bear Territory in the future.

No matter what, Cottonbass is a warrior who has been on the battlefield and is quite intelligent, so he is someone who can control the situation.
