The Knight's Journey to the Empire

September 4877, 10 in the Knight Continent calendar.

Doug Johnson spent five days, after layers of screening and careful selection, and finally recruited 1000 young and strong people.

As for why Doug Johnson is in charge, not Ramos!

That's because Doug Johnson is much smarter than Ramos, and Soren wants to find more opportunities to train him so that he can stand on his own in the future!

Of course, the total number of people who followed Doug Johnson back to White Bear Territory was definitely more than 1000. The actual number reached more than 1500!

These extra people are mainly elderly people and children, and they are not counted in the 1000 recruitment quotas!

Fortunately, Doug Johnson was sensible and promptly stuffed a bag of gold coins into the earldom official who was responsible for the handover.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to bring these people out!

Although today is the day when Doug Johnson leads this group of new citizens back to White Bear Territory, Soran is no longer in the team.

Because he had already returned to the White Bear Territory with Ramos and the Knight Guards!

After all, Zahavier and the others belong to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, so this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible!

When dealing with these powerful nobles with deep backgrounds, Sauron must be extremely cautious!

Otherwise, with his size, it would be easy for him to cause other troubles and then fall into an irretrievable situation!

Also, he had to inform Wolfe and the others in time to prepare for the arrival of this group of new subjects!

More than 1500 subjects!

This has exceeded one-third of the current number of residents in White Bear Territory!

So this is a difficult task, and White Bear Leader must be prepared!

Fortunately, this year is a bumper year for White Bear Territory, and there is still enough food!

And Soran had the foresight to let Wulf build a granary and store enough food!

Therefore, the White Bear Territory is now welcoming this group of new residents. There is no shortage of food, but the main shortage is houses!

After all, it is almost November and winter is approaching!

The winter in the Kingdom of Midburg is very cold, with temperatures so low that people can be frozen to death!

But the good thing is that this group of new subjects were originally poor people, so they were not that picky about accommodation conditions!

So we should build a few big wooden houses first and let them sleep in them for the winter. It will be enough to deal with it for the time being!

The important thing is to keep warm!

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

On October 10, after a long journey, Soran finally returned to the White Bear Territory.

He first sent someone to notify Wolfe and asked the officials of the territorial government office to make preparations in advance.

Then, he took a day off to deal with the long-pending official business.

These official documents were piled up like a mountain, and it gave Sauron a headache just looking at them!

At this moment, how much he wished he had a good wife to help him deal with it!

Then he can be like the protagonists in other cool novels, wandering around, flirting with women, attracting bees and butterflies, and doing all kinds of evil!

Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel!

The next day, still in the reception room, Soran had Connino brought up.

Connino's hands hung limply, as if they had lost their strength!

Apparently, his dislocated joint still hasn't been reset!

For an ordinary person, if the arm is in a dislocated state for a long time, it is very likely to cause irreparable permanent damage to the body!

However, thanks to Connino's strong physique with the professional level of a brave knight, he only felt some body aches!

As long as his joints are reconnected in time, it won’t take long for his hands to recover completely!

Soran had specifically instructed that someone needed to feed Connino and the others during their meals!

However, considering his physical fitness as a brave knight, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he didn't eat for a day or two!

Therefore, the people responsible for feeding basically have an indifferent attitude - if they want to eat, eat it, if they don’t want to eat, forget it.

At this moment, Connino's face was haggard and bloodshot, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked extremely tired, and his movements became very stiff!

Compared with the arrogant state he had when he first came to White Bear Territory, he is like two completely different people!

So it's obvious that he hasn't been very happy in the past few days!

……

"Baron, spare me! I didn't intend to embezzle that money!"

"It was Zahavier and Adria! They bewitched me!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to embezzle the property belonging to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

"My Lord Baron, please spare my life!"

As soon as he saw Sauron, Connino, who seemed to have accepted the reality and became indifferent, knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy!

The sound is so shrill that it makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry!

A middle-aged man in his thirties, who should be an upright man, was now kneeling on the ground crying and begging for mercy. This touched Sauron deeply and he looked very reluctant!

So he asked Ramos next to him to go over, help him up, and reconnect his arm!

With only Connino around, Soran was not afraid that he would suddenly change his mind and take action!

Moreover, his arm had just been reattached, so the strength he could exert might be less than half!

After all, recovery takes time!

"Connino, do you want to live?" Looking at Connino who was becoming a little panicked, Soran asked.

The crimes they committed are enough to cost them their lives!

It was just that Sauron was afraid that they were the Second Prince's men, so he didn't take any action!

But even if they were handed over to His Royal Highness Prince Leo II, the consequences for them would certainly not be good!

"I want to! I beg you, Lord Baron, to give me a chance to live! I beg you, Lord Baron, to give me a chance to live!"

Connino is very clear about his situation!

So now, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and regardless of the severe pain in his arm, he immediately begged for mercy!

"If you want to live, you have to listen to my orders. How about that?" Sauron said confidently.

Because he knew that Connino would definitely agree.

Sure enough, Connino said without hesitation: "Please give your orders, Baron!"

The corners of Soran's mouth rose slightly, everything is under control!
