The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Seeing Lord Fatis's regretful expression, Soran finally had to rack his brains to come up with a suggestion that was not really a suggestion for this era.

"My Lord, if I really want to say something, then I can still think of a suggestion, but I don't know how effective it will be."

When everyone present heard this, a hint of anticipation suddenly arose in their hearts.

But Soran did not say it directly, but asked: "My Lord, you should have seen Doug Johnson go to the front line from White Bear Necktie to support the troops in the southern battlefield!"

Lord Fatis nodded!

Because Soran's words reminded him of that special army: the White Bear Territory Guard.

All the soldiers of the White Bear Territory Guard wear uniform leather armor and carry uniform weapons and protective gear. They are well-trained, strong, disciplined, and know when to advance and retreat.

Compared with most armies in this era, such an army can be regarded as a truly strong army.

Soran continued to ask: "Then I wonder what your Lordship thinks of their strength? Can they be called an elite force?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Fatis said without hesitation: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Definitely! The territory guard team trained by Baron Soran is truly an elite and powerful force!!"

"In my opinion, their strength and military quality are not much different from the Earl's personal guards that Sir Colbert specially trained for the Earl."

Lord Fatis did not hide the envy in his eyes when he spoke.

Because he still clearly remembered the shock he felt when he first saw this army, and he even drooled with envy.

This is actually one of the important reasons why he values ​​Doug Johnson so much and wants to recruit him.

Because he felt that if he had the 300-man territory guard led by Doug Johnson, then under his leadership, they would be able to withstand an attack from an enemy ten times their size.

Therefore, the territory guard led by Doug Johnson was not sent out to carry out some particularly severe attack tasks, but was always used as a trump card or the elite of the central army.

Therefore, when the southern defense line of the Kingdom of Midburg was completely defeated, the casualties of the territory guard were still relatively low, and a large number of soldiers escaped in the end.

It is also worth mentioning that although Baron Soren had proposed the [Angliss Islands Immigration Plan] to Countess Katis at that time.

However, Lord Fatis once had some doubts about Soran's identity because of this elite territory guard: he believed that Soran was a staunch royalist who supported and upheld the royal family of the Kingdom of Midburg.

After all, according to the normal perspective of the Knight Continent at that time, for a small baron like Soran to be able to dispatch such an elite force to support the front-line war, it is no exaggeration to say that he has spent all his money and all his strength!

But it turned out that all his ideas were wrong!

Because he could tell from Soran's actions and thoughts that the baron had never considered the issues concerning the royal family of the Kingdom of Midburg from beginning to end, let alone being loyal to the king.

Therefore, Lord Fatis had some strange and curious thoughts about Soran.

"Then, sir, do you know how long it took me to train this territory guard team?" Soran said mysteriously.

"One year? No, that's not right. Two years?" Lord Fatis asked tentatively.

Soran shook his head in denial.

"Is it three years?" Lord Fatis still had a look of confusion on his face.

Lord Fatis did not have a very in-depth understanding of Soran's background.

It was only from Doug Johnson that he knew that Soran did not have any powerful identity or background, and that he had participated in the Western War that broke out between the Kingdom and the Principality of Goliath two years ago.

Then in the Western War, Soran had made enough contributions, so he was granted the title of Lord Saladin to the County of Garnese, thus becoming a hereditary noble.

But Doug Johnson was not an eyewitness to the Western War, so he did not know all the information about this part.

Therefore, Lord Fatis naturally believed that this powerful territory guard was the direct force trained by Sauron in the Western War.

Even Lord Fatis didn't know that in the White Bear Territory of Sauron, there was a more elite [White Bear Knights]!

After all, he is a high-ranking knight beside the Earl, and he does not have so much time to pay attention to the affairs of these minor nobles.

However, Soran's next words shocked him so much that he almost broke down!

"Half a year! My Lord, it only took me half a year to train the territory guards!" Soran's tone was very firm and unquestionable.

Over there, Plant and Redsass stood up suddenly, muttering in disbelief: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Lord Fatis also looked at Soran with a scrutinizing gaze: "Baron Soran, the men under my Lord Earl's command have also trained soldiers!"

"So I also know how difficult it is to train an elite group of soldiers! So don't lie to me. How could an elite unit like the White Bear Knight Guard be trained in just half a year!"

In this backward era where conscripts are still the main source of troops, it is indeed not easy to train a truly elite force.

Therefore, in Lord Fatis's opinion, it would take at least a year to successfully train an elite force like the White Bear Territory Guard.

Therefore, we can see how shocked Lord Fatis was when Soran said this.

However, Sauron smiled calmly, confident about this!

"My Lord, do you think I still need to lie to you at this time?"

"In other words, what good can I get from deceiving you like this?"
