But for now, at least, he had to be patient, and he didn't want to ask for help from his father or grandfather.

Although these two men could easily eradicate these moths if they helped Charlemagne alone, he had his own pride as the pride of the sky, and he wanted to use his ability to re-establish a firm rule in Sérienburg.

He began to order his soldiers to patrol the roads, and several bandits had recently appeared in the territory of Serrienburg, plundering the passing caravans.

This greatly affected the security and commercial prosperity of Cerrienburg, so Charlemagne ordered his town guard to start patrolling the area.

However, it is very doubtful that no matter how much they search, they will not be able to find any trace of the robbers.

After all, according to the residents, they have a fixed camp, but no matter how much the patrol searches, they can't find any trace of the enemy.

This made Cdrrick, who led the team, very helpless to return to Cherrienburg, and said to Charlemagne: "It's strange, no matter how much we search, we can't find any trace of those robbers!" ”

Cdrrick paused for a moment, then said, "They hid as if they knew we were looking for them, otherwise we wouldn't have found them!" ”

"Know we're looking for them!" Charlemagne's mind repeated the words, and as he listened to Cdrrick's words thoughtfully, he began to think about the whole story.

He began to have some doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that the other party had no reason to know that he planned to suppress the bandits, but they were able to leave the camp early to hide.

Combined with Cdrrick's words, Charlemagne's heart sank slightly, and he felt that his territory was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

The disadvantages of the territory are not only empty salaries and high prices for resources, but there are also some other things that seem to be wrong.

However, although he had discovered the uncertainty of his territory, he still did not move.

He felt that there might really be a force in his territory that was in the shadows, and he didn't know it.

He could clearly feel that his rights had been divided among this force, and it seemed that he could not exercise much of the rights that belonged to him.

And his financial income is definitely less than that of other normal counties.

The silver coins, which were supposed to be the Count's income, were divided between the salaries of the servants and the funds for the purchase of supplies.

Charlemagne was in his study, and Roland, Ctrick, and Homan were all gathered here.

And there were two royal infantrymen guarding the door, and although Serion Fort was his domain, the only people he could trust here were the soldiers and knights he had brought with him from the royal capital.

He didn't believe in any of the squires, servants, soldiers, cooks and ladies of Cerrienburg, and he knew that there was still a force in the shadows that ruled Cerrienburg at all times, so he could only trust his own soldiers.

Charlemagne looked very dark under the candlelight, his expression was very solemn, and he said to the three people in front of him, "Do you feel it?" There are forces in our territory that we don't know about, and that we don't control! ”

"He seems to be in control of everything in the shadows, I don't know if this power is controlled by my titular vassals, but I do know that they are not under our control!" Charlemagne's face was expressionless, supporting his jaw with his hand, and his palm covering his mouth and above parts, so that his emotions were not so easily exposed.

But his eyes were very sharp, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.

He said: "I plan to find out the specific identity and purpose of this force on our own, and then eliminate them!" ”

"Of course, if it was really a last resort, I would still ask my father and grandfather for help!"

Although Charlemagne wants to prove his ability and believes in his ability, he is not a self-righteous person, and he still knows whether these things are urgent and whether he can be strong.

He could hone his abilities in absolute safety, but as soon as the matter was out of his control, he would immediately seek the help of his elders.

Roland frowned and said: "Indeed, I also feel this feeling of not being controlled by us, but we can't look for them now, but we should catch their clues in secret!" ”

Charlemagne nodded and said, "Indeed, Roland, I'll leave this matter to you!" Choose people we can trust and look for clues about them! ”

After speaking, Charlemagne said solemnly: "Remember, don't startle the snake!" What I want is still the stability of the territory, and try to find out their existence as much as possible while maintaining stability! ”

Roland nodded in understanding.

Then Charlemagne arranged: "Homan, Cdrik, you two go and give me a thorough investigation of the price of local resources, and re-establish the price of the salaries of the servants and soldiers, I don't want to waste it like this anymore!" ”

"In addition, you two will bring someone to count the population in the territory, including the number of armies of those nobles!"

After speaking, he said to himself: "Those three barons have such a strong strength in my territory, it really makes me sleep......

Soon, Charlemagne arranged everyone's tasks, and Roland walked out and began, looking for helpers among the royal infantry and the Iron Cross Knights.

He planned to let these people act as intelligence agents, searching for the location and strength of the secret force as much as possible, as well as the number of members and the source of the force.

Cdrrick and Hörmann, on the other hand, left the study, ready to take people on a journey through the territory to count the things Charlemagne had requested.

And the number of armies of the nobles is also in their range.

At this moment, a black hooded long-distance runner dressed in black that could cover his entire body stood in the middle of the room, which was very empty, except for a table in the middle.

There was a small oil lamp on the table, and the flickering oil lamp shone the whole room swaying, and it looked inexplicably weird.

Outside the window, however, there was a crow of crows, and they circled back and forth above the manor, as if something in the vicinity was attracting them.

The nobleman sitting on the top of the seat bowed his head and said, "My lord, is there something he asked you to come?" ”

The man in black was wrapped in a black robe, making it difficult to see his identity, gender, emotions, and expressions.

His voice sounded very hoarse, and after listening to the nobleman's inquiry, he said in a hoarse voice: "Master, he told you to be careful recently, there is already a master here!" ”

When the nobleman heard his warning, he looked very respectful and said, "Okay, please go back and tell your lord that I understand what he means!" ”
