The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Hearing this, Carlo nodded in agreement!

Indeed, compared to other things, family bloodline and inheritance are more important!

But soon, he realized the blind spot in Sir Jose's words, and hurriedly asked: "Father, what about you? Aren't you going to leave?"

Sir Jose shook his head: "No, I won't leave. I will stay in Connacht! I won't go anywhere!"

"Why?" Carlo was really anxious.

I have to say, they really have a deep father-son relationship!

I just wonder what Sauron would think if he were here!

Sir Jose smiled calmly, and then slowly said: "Carlo, our Sir Lipton family has been serving as the Lord Lopez's servants since we swore allegiance to the Lord Lopez's family more than a hundred years ago. We have been serving as the Lord Lopez's servants and have been guarding the city of Connacht for generations under the Lord Lopez's orders!"

"Moreover, over the years, our family has gained enough opportunities to grow and develop by relying on this position of 'city lord'!"

"So now, our Sir Lipton family owes the Earl a favor!"

"Now that the crisis has come, as the city lord, I must shoulder the responsibility of the city lord. I can't just walk away and ignore the people of the city!"

"Otherwise it would be an act of ingratitude, which would bring shame to our ancestors!"

"So I will stay to guard Connat City and repay the Earl's kindness to the Lipton family!"

"Also, as the head of the Lipton family, there are still thousands of Lipton family members left in Conant City! I can't abandon them!"

Upon hearing this, Carlo remained silent for a long time!

It's not that he doesn't want to persuade him, but he knows his father's character very well. Once he has made a decision, no matter how much others try to persuade him, it will be useless!

Even if I persuaded him too much, he would beat me up!

"Carlo, the future of the Lipton family is in your hands!" Sir Jose said earnestly: "You must remember that your branch is the main branch of the Lipton family! And your brother's branch, no matter how well it develops, will always be just a branch!"

"But despite this, you should not let this create a rift and alienate the relationship between the two brothers. Just develop yourself well!"

"The fact that your brother sent a letter to help the family this time shows that he still has some feelings for the Lipton family!"

"Now that he is powerful, you must maintain this relationship. This way, if your brother becomes powerful in the future, he will naturally help you!"

"Yes! Father!" Carlo said with a choked voice.

He understood that the time he had left to stay with his father and listen to his teachings was running out!

"Also, when you leave, take most of the Lipton family's cash and valuables with you!"

"As for the house deeds, land deeds, manors, shops, etc., don't touch them for now, in case the news leaks out and causes unnecessary trouble!"

"If the Kingdom of Midburg could withstand the attack of the Kingdom of Essex, with these things, the Lipton family would not become a mess!"

"And..."

In the reception room of Sir Lipton's family, Sir Jose was giving earnest advice to his eldest son, like an elder who was making arrangements for his final affairs!

Carlo Lipton was standing aside, listening attentively and nodding from time to time!

This is really a beautiful picture of [a loving father and a filial son]!

……

The five days of preparation passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside the city of Connacht, Henry led a team of about seventy or eighty people, disguised as a caravan selling medicinal herbs. Taking advantage of the early morning when there were fewer pedestrians on the road, they quietly left the city of Connacht and headed north.

The team drove a total of thirteen carriages, three of which were filled with women and children from various families.

The remaining ten carriages:

On three of the cars were placed the gold, silver, valuables and luggage that the families were preparing to take away!

In order to enhance the secrecy, Henry also specially ordered people to buy a lot of common medicinal herbs and covered them with a thick layer!

As for the remaining seven, they contain real medicinal materials!

After all, even though this team is pretending, they have to pretend to be real, right?

Of course, in the end, all the carriages transporting goods were covered with a thick canvas to block the view of all peeping eyes!

Only then you are fully prepared!

Henry rode his warhorse, holding his head high and walking at the front of the team!

The majestic look of him leading the way is quite like the heroic demeanor of a general commanding his troops!

But as soon as he turned around and looked at the team behind him, he couldn't help but look embarrassed and felt under great pressure!

Because most of the people in this team are relatives and women of each family who have no military power at all!

In such a turbulent time, one can imagine how difficult it would be to migrate such a team northwards to Ganise County!

But the good thing is: Master Adam's Eric family hired a knight as a guard; the master's brother, Carlo Lipton, is also a knight, and with himself, there are three knights in total!

At the same time, in order to protect their own safety, each family also brought some elite attendants, a total of about twenty people!

By integrating them in this way, we can form a fairly decent guard team!

Otherwise, Henry really couldn't imagine how difficult his journey would be!

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

September 4877, 5 in the Knight Continent calendar.

As the work of the various transport fleets gradually got on track, the responsibilities on Soran's shoulders were also lightened a lot.

Because of the implementation of the [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan], he no longer needs to keep an eye on it all the time.

So Soran asked Countess Katis for a few days' leave, and then returned to the White Bear Territory at full speed with Knight Alexovich.

Two months later, Soran returned to his fiefdom, the White Bear Territory, and felt a sense of how time had changed.

The main reason is that so many things have happened during this period of time!

The outbreak of the war between the two countries, the implementation of the [Angliss Immigration Plan], Doug Johnson led the territory guard to support the southern battlefield, and he was named Viscount by Countess Katis... and so on!

All this made Soran feel like a long time had passed!

After all, when I left White Bear Territory, it was still a cold winter with vast snow!

When I came back, it was already spring with blooming flowers and lush greenery!

Nowadays, in White Bear Territory, all the arable land has been planted with new wheat seedlings, so wherever you look, both sides of the road are full of lush green scenes!

The town of Flanders has also developed a lot compared to the past, both the building density and the town’s area have increased!

But in terms of popularity, it is obvious to the naked eye that it is not as prosperous as before!

This may be because of the war!

After all, more than 200 brave men from the White Bear Lord’s territory guard have already gone to the battlefield to fight!

And most of them are locals from White Bear Territory!

This means that there are nearly 200 families in the White Bear Territory whose fathers, husbands, and sons are now on the battlefield, their lives or deaths are uncertain, and their fate is uncertain!

……

Although Soran has not shown up in the territory for two months, the people's support for him has not decreased at all, and they still worship him so enthusiastically!

Look, Sauron led his men along Barrett's Road to Wealth. Those simple subjects who came out to do farm work recognized him the moment they saw him!

Then everyone ran around to tell each other, calling their friends, and a large group of people gathered on the roadside, kneeling down to greet and pay their respects to the lord!

The bustling and lively scene was even more exciting than the fan circle and star-chasing scenes in previous lives!

It even caused traffic congestion on Barrett’s Avenue of Wealth!

In the end, it was Sauron who personally spoke out to persuade them, and they reluctantly made way for their master to pass safely!

Otherwise, the boots on Sauron's feet would be kissed to pieces by his subjects!

……

The news that Soran had returned from Ganise City had already been reported to Flanders Town!

So now, Adam led the officials of the territorial government office, and Javier led the servants of the Baron's mansion, and they were already waiting in the open space outside the town of Flanders!

Seeing Soran and his companions from afar, they excitedly went to greet them and bowed to them.

And Sauron felt very friendly when he saw their smiling faces!

Sure enough, the feeling of "home" is better!

Afterwards, Soran dismissed all the unimportant people and rushed to his baron's mansion with only Adam, Javier, Gubellini, Cottonbas and a few other confidants.

Sauron is happy today and is going to have a grand banquet for all his ministers, followed by music and dancing!

……

Near the gate of Flanders Town, a citizen looked at Soran who was surrounded by the crowd, his eyes flashing, and he fell into deep thought.

"Hey, Cripple, there's a load of goods to carry here, the price is pretty good, do you want to come?"

Suddenly, a shout from not far away woke him up from his thoughts.

Immediately, the man responded loudly: "Go away, you are a fool if you don't want to make money. I'm coming right away!"

Then the man limped away!

……

White Bear Territory, Baron's Mansion, Soran's study.

After exchanging pleasantries with his trusted subordinates and having a reunion dinner, Sauron dismissed them all!

Then White Bear left the current political officer, Lord Adam, alone in the study to talk.

"Brother, what did you send Wolfe to do? Why are you suddenly asking him to hand over the position of political officer? This really caught me off guard!" Adam asked with confusion.

Adam now really has several roles to play!

He holds three official positions in the territory: political officer, business officer, and legal officer. He can truly be said to be in a high position with great power!

If it weren’t for the current sluggish business development in White Bear Territory, the number of matters that need to be handled would have been reduced!

With the help of the political affairs officer's deputy, Theok, he would have been really busy and overwhelmed!

As for his brothers, Sauron definitely trusts them!

So he did not hide it from Adam and told him everything about the [Anglican Islands Immigration Plan] and Wolfe's whereabouts!

"This is the situation, so Wolfe may never return to White Bear Territory in the short term!" Soran spread his hands and said helplessly.

Wolfe can't come back to White Bear Territory, which means Adam has to juggle multiple roles!

This ruthless exploitation of labor made Sauron feel a little guilty!

But there aren't many people around him that he can trust, so he can only grab one person he can!

Who told you to be my brother?

If we are brothers, we must stick together!

But Adam's focus is not here!

He just exclaimed: "Oh my god!"

"Brother, what's wrong with your brain? How did you suddenly come up with this magical idea of ​​'migrating to an island and settling there'?"

Soran rolled his eyes at him: "How did you come up with that?"

"Of course I thought of it with my brain! Could it be possible that I thought of it while I was doing it?"

Most people of this era are constrained by the times or the limitations of their vision, so it is generally not easy for them to think of looking for a way out overseas!

Therefore, most people are shocked that Sauron could come up with this method!

Just like in the history of the Celestial Empire, those rebel kings or traitors who rose and fell, could they have imagined that there were large tracts of fertile land outside the Central Plains?

In the end, we still have to work hard on the one and a half acres of land left by our ancestors!

"So you have now been conferred the title of hereditary viscount by Lady Countess Katis, right?" Adam ignored Soran's rolling eyes and continued to ask.

Soran nodded in affirmation!

Adam smiled slyly and said in a teasing tone: "Brother, you have become a viscount! Don't you have to be a baron for me too?"

Soran laughed and pretended to scold: "You are so impatient! Don't worry, brother, if I have a bite to eat, I will definitely have a bite to drink for you!"

Adam felt very relieved!

Because of Sauron's words, he was content!

"There's no rush, there's no rush! We have to take it slow! I was just joking just now, don't take it seriously, brother!" Adam quickly spoke up to rescue himself.

Although the two are brothers with a good relationship, there is also a superior-subordinate relationship between them!

If I ask Sauron for a hereditary title like this, wouldn't that be just taking advantage of his favor and becoming arrogant?

Also, Adam has been a territory official for quite a long time!

He naturally knew how important a fair and just reward and punishment system was to the development of a force!

So he naturally couldn't take the lead in making this mistake!

And judging from Sauron’s reaction, his brothers will definitely not treat him unfairly!

So why should I risk destroying the system to ask for something that will be given to me in the first place?

Soran rolled his eyes at Adam again, and jokingly said with disdain: "Tsk, I knew you didn't have the guts to do it, you're just talking big, you wouldn't even dare to take it even if I gave it to you!"

Adam was suddenly speechless and curled his lips secretly!

At the same time, he thought to himself: Okay, you have a big butt, so you have the final say!
