It turned out that Will was not alone; he was accompanied by ten soldiers. However, they had been strategically positioned outside the entrance and were now facing the fate of being caught in a net.
In truth, even if there were many of them, it wouldn't make much of a difference. If it weren't for Annie's surprise at the nature of the envoy, even a hundred more like them would not have changed the outcome. It should be noted that Beastman Garuru was an Epic-level expert, firmly situated at the upper echelon of Epic-level beings.
A week later, after a long and arduous journey, John and his companions finally arrived at their destination, Salted Fish Territory. Before they even stepped onto the territory, they sensed an unusual tension in the air.
Looking around, they noticed that more than half of the soldiers who had previously been stationed in various locations had retreated to the vicinity of the castle. Furthermore, even the officers responsible for guarding the villages had returned to the castle.
John did not dare to delay; he rushed through the castle gates without taking a moment to rest. As he hurried forward, his guard Kuiradi ordered, "Quickly summon all the managers within the territory!" Meanwhile, John swiftly called for the castle's steward.
The steward's name was Rofsky, a powerful Half-Step Transcendent. John had personally selected him from Template Reward for his exceptional abilities. Dressed in splendid noble attire, Rofsky exuded elegance with every gesture. His speech carried a refined aristocratic tone that revealed an innate nobility, commanding respect from those around him.
With a serious expression, John looked at Rofsky and asked directly, "What exactly happened? Why is there such a situation?"
Rofsky slightly bowed before responding hastily, "My lord, not long ago, a group of envoys from the royal capital arrived here. These individuals behaved outrageously and dared to lay hands on the lady! Fortunately, Lord Beastman Garuru intervened in time and captured those reckless individuals. The lady is kind-hearted and did not order their execution. After some investigation and inquiries, we finally discovered that their backing is Earl Smith from near the royal capital."
John narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as he pondered the strength of their adversaries. He wanted to see what kind of person would dare provoke him. If it weren't for his concern about the powerful ancestors hidden behind those noble families in Sanctuary, John would have already succumbed to his impulses and expanded his territory aggressively.
After all, the relationships among these nobles were intricate; even an inconspicuous minor figure might have deep connections with other forces. If he carelessly killed someone, it could trigger a chain reaction leading to significant trouble.
At this moment, Rofsky quickly interjected, "My lord, we haven't been idle regarding that fellow lately. In my opinion, he isn't as tough as he seems; he's just tight-lipped. From what we've gathered so far, that noble family appears to have three Epic-level experts and over ninety Transcendent-level masters. However, most of them are stationed in the royal capital and are quite far from us—beyond our reach! So they shouldn't be able to act against us directly in the short term."
Hearing this, John's expression darkened further. The presence of three Epic-level beings undoubtedly highlighted the deep foundation and formidable strength of old noble families. To be fair, if it came down to individual combat strength alone, John believed he would not fear his opponents at all.
