Chris was a little hesitant, and the system did not give any more task prompts.

And what she saw now was normal. It could even be said that the Morris family might be doing better than most nobles.

Although the aid provided had to be repaid by the refugees in the future and was charged with interest, it was still considered quite conscientious for the nobles of that era.

However, Chris's intuition told her that there was something wrong with the Morris family.

"Eunice, did you find anything?"

Chris sighed softly and could only seek help.

But Yuni also shook her head seriously, with some confusion in her eyes.

"Forget it, maybe I really am thinking too much."

Chris shook her head slightly and raised her hand to wave in a certain direction.

Soon, a knight wearing the Morris family crest emerged from the crowd and came before Chris.

"Please tell Baron Mickey that I have completed my inspection. I need to return to Weide City for some matters. But don't worry, I am very satisfied with the performance of your Morris family. I will prepare aid supplies as soon as I return."

Without saying goodbye to Baron Mickey, Chris took Yuni and the others and left the village.

She looked back, hesitated for a moment, and left.

But not far from the Morris family's simple village, Chris suddenly discovered a convoy coming towards them.

Trucks were loaded with supplies, and the leading truck was flying the flag of the Morris family.

This was a supply transport team heading to the village that he had just left.

Chris led the group to the hillside beside the road and made way for the convoy.

Hearing the knight's words of gratitude in the transport team, Chris didn't think much and prepared to continue on her way back.

However, she suddenly found that her sleeve was being tugged.

"Isa?"

Chris turned her head and saw Isa, who rarely showed any expression, but a solemn expression appeared on her delicate little face.

"Chris, there's a problem with the transport team."

"Ok?"

Chris pulled the reins and immediately looked at the transport team that was moving away.

"What is the problem?"

"A faint smell that makes me feel uncomfortable, but it's hard to detect."

Isa frowned, tilted her head, and tried to organize her words to describe the feeling that suddenly appeared in her heart.

"Is the breath that makes you, little Issa, feel uncomfortable?"

Chris immediately grasped the word that she cared about most and looked at the little angel seriously.

"Hmm. Evil? Chaos?"

Her silver eyes were filled with distress and confusion, and she didn't know how to explain it clearly. However, Chris didn't reach out to rub the little guy's head as usual, and sigh at how cute the little guy was.

She had always trusted Isa completely, so her first reaction was to immediately take her guard knights to stop the transport team and find out the source of the aura that made the little guy uncomfortable.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she put it down immediately.

Chris turned around and looked around. Apart from Yuni and Isa, there were only a dozen or so guard knights who came out.

Even though little angel Isa is around, Chris believes that the little one can definitely protect her own safety.

But, this is the opponent's home court after all.

"We'll go back to Vader City right away."

Chris turned around immediately and said to everyone in a serious tone.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Just now, Yuni and the guard knights heard what Isa said and understood the urgency of the situation.

The sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard immediately above the snow crystal flower plain.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has left?"

Mickey sat in the study on the first floor of the tower, listening to the report from the knight he sent to monitor Chris.

After hearing that the princess had discovered nothing and brought her people back to Vader City, the clean-shaven baron showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

"That's it, then. If Her Royal Highness the Princess really does send aid, I will accept it without hesitation."

Mickey chuckled and tapped the table, waving his hand to signal the knight to leave the study.

However, just as the knight who came back to report left, there was another knock on the study door, and then a knight from the Morris family walked in.

"Sir, the latest batch of food has been delivered."

"That's good. We can distribute it to the refugees in a few days so they can have enough to eat."

Just as Mickey was about to smile brightly, the knight quickly talked about his encounter with Chris on the way.

His words immediately made Mickey's smile disappear and turn into a gloomy expression.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Mickey sat behind the desk, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, thinking deeply.

After a while, he looked up at the subordinate who was kneeling on one knee in front of the desk.

"Is Her Royal Highness the Princess behaving strangely?"

When they learned from the knight in charge of escorting the supply team that they did not see any special behavior when they passed by Chris and her group.

Mickey let out a silent breath.

"Dispatch some personnel to keep an eye on the surroundings for a while, and then send someone to keep an eye on Vader City."

Out of caution, Mickey decided to strengthen his defenses.

It’s just a pity that the manpower at his disposal doesn’t seem to be able to support him in doing so.

In desperation, even though he was worried, Mickey still selected some strangers and let those strangers take on more of the defense work of the territory.

"Although the little princess is my lord, in my territory, whatever she wants to do is my business and she has no right to interfere."

Mickey walked to the study window and looked outside from the tower that occupied a high point.

The village is built on the ruins - or rather the remains of the former Maurice Castle.

Compared to the scene described by his family ancestors, the village in Mickey's eyes now looked like a refugee gathering place.

Low and simple huts, muddy and sewage-filled dirt roads, and those refugees.

With the arrival of a new batch of food, the refugees were now smiling, accepting the relief food from the knights with hope for their future life and gratitude to the Morris family.

"My Lord Baron, do we really want to let those foreigners join us?"

A knight belonging to the Morris family was a little confused.

"Even so, we can let that stranger handle it. As a fellow stranger, he's more suitable than us."

Mickey withdrew his gaze, turned around and looked at his subordinates, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"I admit that the stranger brought hope for the Morris family's resurgence, but this is not a reason for us to place all our hopes on others."

After a pause, Mickey lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.

"This is also to gain greater strength."

At noon the next day, the central road of the village in Morris Territory was actually a muddy road.

The Witch Cat King looked down at the mud stains on his boots with some disgust. He had spent a lot of contribution points to buy the equipment from the princess's shop, but now it looked nothing like the majestic it once was.

"Hey, Captain, this kind of village is too real."

A member of the chapter walked up to him, holding his nose and complaining.

"Every step I took was filled with a mixture of excrement and muddy water. I felt like I didn't even want to eat after I logged off."

"Shut up!"

Several team members nearby glared at the warrior player angrily. They had finally forced themselves to ignore what was under their feet, but this guy exposed their mistake.

The warrior player spread his hands nonchalantly and looked up at the group of refugees not far away.

"Haven't many players on the forum complained about the despicable behavior of the nobles in the game Hopeland? Doesn't it seem like this Baron Morris is a good guy?"

Hearing their companions' words, the other players couldn't help but nod.

They are all members of the Knights of the Sun, the sixth elite group.

Previously, when the Morris family was recruiting players to serve as guards, the Wrath of the Witch Cat King and his regiment successfully accepted the task because of their good reputation among the indigenous people.

Their Order of the Sun is now quite famous on player forums, especially among those players who like role-playing.

Unlike most players, who indulge themselves and behave arbitrarily after entering the game.

These role-playing players care more about the sense of immersion and like to play characters that match their own camp settings in the game.

Therefore, in addition to being well-known among players, their Order of the Sun Knights is also highly regarded by the natives of Vader City.

"My friend in the Knight Guard said that it seems the princess came here yesterday."

One of the members was bored and brought up the topic.

"Until we get back from patrol."

"I remember the Morris family also hired a chapter of the Knight Guard. Wouldn't they be thrilled to death?"

"Hahaha, they were sent out just like us, so when I saw them just now, their faces were still full of regret and annoyance."

"After all, they are the Dog-Sucking Knights."

While the members were laughing and chatting, the Wrath of the Witch Cat King, the leader of the group, suddenly stretched out his hand to signal his members to be quiet.

Because, at this time, a knight from the Morris family was walking towards them.

Kean, this is the name of the knight that the Wrath of the Witch Cat King detected using his reconnaissance skills.

"To all the foreign warriors of the Sun Knights, the Baron would like to invite you to the training ground."

"Ok."

After the knight finished speaking, he immediately left and went somewhere else.

After he left, the members of the Sun Knights who were responsible for maintaining order at the relief food distribution points immediately started a discussion.

"Captain, what do you think the Baron of the Morris family wants from us?"

"A new mission?"

"Go ahead."

The Wrath of the Witch Cat King only thought about it for a moment, ended the discussion of his regiment members, and made a decision.

The other members finished their escort mission with laughter, and then walked towards the Morris family's training ground in the north of the village.

After arriving at the training ground, the members of the Sixth Elite Regiment of the Sun Knights were surprised to find.

At this time, many players have gathered in this not-so-large training ground. In addition to their Sun Knights, there are also several battle groups from other large guilds in the Princess Territory.

Moreover, more and more players are coming in.

It seems that the Morris family is going to make some big move recently?

When no more players entered the training ground, a burst of orderly footsteps came from behind the Wrath of the Witch Cat King and the others.

Looking back, Wrath of the Witch Cat King saw Baron Morris coming in from the entrance of the training ground with a team of knights and a group of players.

When Baron Mickey walked through the crowd of players and came to the front of the training ground, the knights and players also dispersed and surrounded the entire training ground.

"What is this for?"

One member couldn't help but lower his head, frowned and asked his companions around him.

The Witch Cat King shook his head in anger, signaling all members of his team to shut up.
