The Knight's Journey to the Empire

The White Bear Territory Guard is a military organization of a hundred-man battalion, and is now fully staffed with a hundred members.

Territory guard is currently divided into three parts:

The first part is composed of two squadrons of sixty people, who are currently staying in the military camp in Flanders town for daily training.

The second part is a squadron of thirty people, who are currently following Adam and acting as escorts for the caravan when they go out for business.

The third part is a team of ten people, currently stationed in the mountains to protect the safety of the snowy and flowery meadow.

Soon, the sixty-man territorial guard team left in Flanders Town was assembled under the command of Martin!

Then, Soran gave an order and led them and ten knight guards out of the barracks in a mighty procession, marching directly to the caravan's base.

Of course, in order to prevent those hateful human traffickers from escaping in advance, as soon as Sauron got the news, he had Ramos ride to Kaobei Village and Gangshao Village and inform the two village chiefs to lead the villagers to set up checkpoints, guard them strictly, and carefully check the people.

……

After Sauron and his group of more than seventy people arrived at the caravan camp, they directly surrounded the entire caravan!

The territory guards came in with great force and expressionless faces, as if they were ferocious monsters!

This scared them!

Although this large caravan is composed of several small caravans, there are still some guards protecting them along the way.

The guards thought that Sauron came here to steal from the employer, rob the property, kill the witnesses, and swallow everything!

After all, this situation has occurred before in the territories of some nobles!

So they also picked up weapons or drew their swords, relying on the simple fence surrounded by carriages, and confronted the soldiers of the territory guard!

They even captured some residents who were shopping or strolling around inside and used them as hostages!

Soran did not send people directly into the caravan camp to search, but instead took them to stop outside and waited with a gloomy face!

After a while, three people who looked like caravan supervisors walked out from the caravan camp!

But they didn't go too far, they just stopped when they were out of the protective range of the carriage!

Because they are afraid too!

They were afraid that Sauron would have his men kidnap them and use them as hostages, and then force the people in the caravan camp to submit!

The caravans where these three caravan leaders are located are the three small caravans with the strongest comprehensive strength among the small caravans that make up this large caravan!

Moreover, their identities were the same as Adam's. They all led a territory caravan organized by the nobles themselves and did business abroad on behalf of the nobles.

They had never seen Soran, so they didn't know that the person standing in front of them was the Baron of this territory.

So they could only shout: "Sir, why did you suddenly surround our caravan? What do you want to do?"

Soran naturally ignored him!

That's too cheap!

But Wolf, who was standing aside, replied: "Everyone, we have no ill intentions! We just received a report from the people in our territory that a child was lost in the caravan camp! Now we seriously suspect that the child was abducted by human traffickers mixed in with the caravan! So we came here to prepare for a search!"

The three people over there were silent for a while!

They looked at each other helplessly!

Because this kind of thing is indeed possible!

After all, they themselves know what kind of caravan they have formed!

When they sleep at night, they have to be careful of anyone who is not from their small caravan!

Otherwise, when I wake up the next day, my pants might be touched off!

But they were afraid that this was the other party's conspiracy, so they did not dare to let Sauron and others in.

What if the other party suddenly attacks and kills you to silence you?

After all, this kind of thing really happened!

"Then how can we believe what you say?" one of them asked hesitantly.

Wolfe and Soran looked at each other and then both laughed!

Then Woolf shouted: "I don't need your belief! Your belief or not means nothing to us!"

"Because this is the hereditary territory of Lord Baron Soran, your actions have violated Lord Baron Soran's territory laws and infringed upon Lord Baron Soran's legitimate interests. We have the right to conduct a comprehensive inspection of you!"

"Besides, we are only surrounding this place now and not directly questioning you. This is already our greatest sincerity to you!"

"If you resist and dare to resist the search, Baron Soran will arrest you all on charges of human trafficking and embezzlement of noble property, and then demote you to slaves!"

"I'll give you one minute to think about it. If you still don't put down your weapons after one minute, we'll storm in! You will be responsible for any consequences that arise at that time!"

"Siok, start counting!"

Woolf's words were pronounced in a clear and loud voice, with a majestic and powerful tone, and he looked very impressive!

……

Here, Xioke has already started counting: "One, two, three..."

Over there, three people were already communicating secretly.

At the beginning, they heard the rumors spread by Fisher, so they went to the White Bear Territory to do business.

Therefore, they actually have a little trust in the White Bear Leader!

After all, the reputation of a territory that can earn praise from the managers of a large chamber of commerce like the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce is still trustworthy!

And they all have to be very clear that no one in their caravan would do such a thing!

So they unanimously chose to give up resistance and allow the other party to search!

Of course, the most important reason is that they feel that if those fully armed soldiers outside really attack, they will not be able to withstand it at all!

Even if you have hostages, you can't do that!

And, if they kill someone!

Then the nature of the matter has completely changed!

By then, it will no longer be a simple matter of searching for human traffickers!

But it involves issues of treason and assassination of nobles!

By then, even if they had mouths all over their bodies, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves!

So soon, the entire caravan, under the command of the three supervisors, gave up resistance and began to accept the comprehensive search by the territory guards.

……

But actually!

Deep down in Soran's heart, he still hoped that they could accomplish something!

It would be best if someone died!

In this way, I would have a legitimate reason to take them all down!

After all, there are three or four hundred people in this caravan!

And they are all young and middle-aged laborers!

If they were all arrested because of this incident, they would be reduced to private slaves and become private property!

Then your own slave team will be expanded!

But after thinking about it carefully, Soran decided to forget it!

By doing this, you can certainly gain some weight!

But there are also two major disadvantages:

The first is that it will offend the nobles behind them.

Although there was no need to check those nobles, Soran knew that they were all minor nobles like himself, but it was always bad to have an extra enemy for no reason.

The second is that it will completely destroy the territory’s business environment that has been built with great difficulty!

Because if this is done, it would be a typical practice of killing the chicken to get the eggs, and it should not be adopted!

So Sauron denied it!

Moreover, when he arrived, he chose to surround but not attack, which actually showed that he wanted to maintain the business environment of the territory!

After all, what happened today will have some impact on the territory’s business environment no matter what!

Just more or less, good or bad!

However, Soran is confident that he can turn it from a negative influence into a positive one!

As for what to do, it depends on how the situation develops next and how you operate!

……

The resistance members of the caravan laid down their weapons one after another and prepared to be questioned.

Soran simply waved his hand, and the armed and powerful soldiers of the territory guard marched into the caravan camp with firm steps.

They first rescued the hostages trapped inside, and then gathered all the people in the caravan, confiscated their weapons, and put them under strict surveillance.

At the same time, a squadron of soldiers was dispatched to conduct a thorough investigation inside the caravan base.

Any carriage, any wooden box, any cloth bag...

They searched everywhere where they could hide children.

And the three caravan managers, with the permission of Soran and Wolf, also brought a few people who had the final say in this large caravan and followed closely behind the soldiers of this squadron, watching them carefully check every corner.

And when they saw that the soldiers of the territory guard were really searching for people, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

They were really afraid that Sauron was looking for trouble, wanting to take all their property for himself, and then kill them to silence them!

But now it seems that I might have thought too much!

But on second thought, they started to blame the person who had the audacity to kidnap the child!

Isn't such behavior destroying the reputation of one's own caravan?

Although caravans like theirs generally don’t have much of a reputation!

But no matter what, this will greatly affect my business!

This person is really hateful!

……

After searching for more than ten minutes, the soldiers of the territory guard finally found the missing child.

She had been drugged and knocked unconscious, and then her hands and feet were tied, her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and she was hidden in a box.

The box was hidden on the carriage again, and cargo was used to press down the box, with some cloth bags stacked around it!

It’s hidden really well!

Seeing the soldiers of the territory guard search out a child, the caravan leaders who followed behind were speechless!

Even a little bit scared!

It’s a good thing that they didn’t find anything. Without evidence, Sauron can’t do anything to them!

Behind Biggie himself are more than a dozen nobles!

But now the situation has been discovered, so the other party has evidence in their hands!

Although they are not the main culprits, if the other party insists on investigating and convicting them!

The charge of being an accomplice is inevitable no matter what!

At that time, whether you are round or flat will be decided by others!

As they thought this in their hearts, their eyes all turned to look at one of them at the same time!

Because that carriage belongs to this person!

But now, he looked as pale as death, his legs were trembling, and he almost fell down!

But no one around him was willing to help him!

Instead, they all stayed away from him to avoid having anything to do with him!

Then people will be misunderstood!

……

Now that they have seen this situation, Soran and Wolf don’t need to guess, they know that this is the culprit!

So he directly ordered the soldiers of the territory guard to take action and escort him and his men out!

After a brief interrogation, they confessed to the crimes they had committed!

After all, there are witnesses and evidence now, and they cannot afford to make any arguments!

According to themselves, the person behind their small caravan is actually a manor knight with a hereditary manor.

And this manor knight is a pervert with severe pedophilia!

Even after he got tired of playing with the girls in his manor, he was still not satisfied!

So he secretly ordered his caravan to kidnap some little girls for him to play with when they were out doing business!

And after you’re done playing, you can sell them as slaves to increase your territory’s income!

This practice is extremely cruel!

The head of this small caravan was also attracted by the pretty and charming girl.

In order to please the knight, he chose to start in White Bear Territory!

But he didn't expect that the Baron of White Bear Territory would discover it so quickly and take it so seriously!

After all, based on past experience, the high and mighty noble lords basically treat their subjects like pigs and dogs!

Normally, even if one or two of them get lost, they won’t take it to heart!

How could there be such a quick reaction, such a large mobilization, and such a grand fanfare as it is now?

Fortunately, Sauron reacted quickly, otherwise they would have escaped!

……

With the final confessions of these criminals, Sauron no longer hesitated and directly convicted them of the crime and sentenced them to death!

There were seventeen members in this small caravan.

Four of them are the main culprits, they are the main persons who carried out the kidnapping!

Sauron ordered his men to erect several huge trees outside the caravan’s camp, and then hanged the four main culprits to death as a warning to others!

I won't let it go until it's dried, and I'm not just saying it!

Although the other thirteen were accomplices, they knew about the crime but did not report it and even helped to conceal it!

So Sauron demoted them all to his lowly slaves, making it impossible for them to stand up again in their entire lives!

As for such an approach, it might offend the manor knight behind them!

Ha ha!

Sauron hated this old pervert to the core!

This kind of person deserves to die!

If it weren’t for the fact that his territory was too far away from his hereditary manor, it would be out of reach!

Otherwise, Sauron would have wanted to lead his troops directly over and destroy his lair!

Of course, Sauron still hoped that the manor knight could come to the White Bear Territory, or send someone to the White Bear Territory to ask for an explanation!

The more people come, the better!

This way, Sauron will let him know what it means to go there but never come back!

Sauron would definitely take all of them and increase his personal wealth!
