After leaving the orc-infested Eastern Plains, the first country the slave hunters entered was the Rus' Empire, whose flag was double-headed eagles.

In a country that lives in the cold interior, the most worshipped animal is the bear, and similarly, the people of the Rus Empire are much more burly than the people of other countries on the Roland Continent, and because the Rus Empire on the eastern plains borders the orc tribes, the people of the Rus Empire are more proficient in combat than the people of other countries.

Even women were no exception, and the entire Rus' nation could be called a fighting nation.

For example, now five soldiers carrying one-man-high crescent axes are stopping the Pontus slave hunting regiment. By the way, their favorite weapon is the axe, which is similar to the barbarians and orcs of the north.

"Stop, you guys, get checked!" said the Rus' soldier, who stopped in the middle of the road along the border, lazily pointing to the Pontus slave hunters.

In normal days, the slave hunters were accustomed to seeing the Rus' soldiers, so they honestly stopped the convoy. However, with the weapons they carried with them, no one thought that this caravan would be subject to the next exploitation of the Rus soldiers.

At this time, the old man who looked old and could live for a long time slowly walked to the front of the convoy, with the usual smile of a philistine merchant on his face.

"I'm the captain of this caravan, Pontus. "Bendu changed the word slave hunting group to a caravan, and the difference between the two is too big.

"Well, let your caravan be inspected obediently, we suspect that this caravan has something to do with some of the Empire's recent weapons smuggling cases. The Rus' soldiers opened their mouths.

The reason why the Rus Empire was able to resist the invasion of the Orcs and establish a country was that on the one hand, the Rus nation had to be physically strong, and on the other hand, the Orc tribes were too scattered and strict, so that they could not concentrate on attacking the Rus Empire.

On the other hand, the orc tribe lacks iron weapons, and this is not because the orc tribe's forging level is so low that they can't even forge iron tools.

In fact, the forging ability of the orc tribe is relatively backward compared with other countries on the Roland Continent, which may be due to the fact that they are more inclined to the characteristics of nomadic life, and this has also been proven in the world of Chu Nan, for example, China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have entered the Bronze Age, and iron tools have appeared in some places, but the nomadic peoples such as the Xuanli in the north are still backward bone weapons.

Of course, there are also nomadic people with a high level of forging - the Scythians......

Moreover, the place where the orc tribe lives is poor, and there is basically not much copper ore and iron ore that can be mined, or it is not found for the time being.

Therefore, with the advantage of weapons, the Rus Empire can compete with the orc tribe, after all, the orc's physique is too strong, even if they don't need to cultivate, they are all low-level and medium-level warriors when they become adults!

Therefore, the Rus Empire strictly forbade merchants to sell weapons to the orc tribes, whether native or foreign. The maximum penalty for arms trafficking in the Rus' Empire was burning at the stake, guillotine, or gallows.

"Hehe, how is it possible, we are businessmen. Bendu said with a smile.

The reason why the Rus soldiers wore this big hat was not because of the crime of trafficking in iron weapons in the Pontic caravan, but because they were a little short of money. If you want to blackmail, the soldiers on the border are the ones who like blackmail the most.

"I said yes, yes, how dare you, old man, doubt our experience over the years!" the leading soldier looked at Pontus with an unkind face.

The Rus' soldiers knew that the caravan in front of them did not dare to attack them, so they became unscrupulous.

"Get out of the way, let's check it out. We will never wronged a good person, and of course, we will not spare anyone who is so bad that they threaten the security of the Empire!"

Don't listen to the Rus' soldiers say so nicely, as if they were the most loyal screws in the Empire, but in fact, if they really let them inspect the caravan, whether you smuggled the contraband or not, the initiative fell into the hands of the Rus' soldiers, and they were left to their discretion when the time came. Moreover, the Pontus Slave Hunting Regiment was not originally a caravan.

On the other hand, the trafficking of weapons was all trafficked from the Rus Empire to the Orc Empire, so how could it be possible for them to come from the Orc tribe to the Rus Empire?

Still smiling, Bendu pulled out a roll of parchment from behind him and placed it in front of the Rus' soldiers.

Education on the Roland continent was undoubtedly backward, the literacy rate of the masses was really low, and most of the education and scholarship were monopolized in the hands of priests and nobles. But fortunately, one of the five Rus' soldiers had learned some cultural knowledge in the monastery.

"What do you mean, thinking that this piece of paper can scare us?" said the leading soldier, but took the parchment.

Since the old man in front of him took out this parchment so calmly, it proves that there must be a reason that he can rely on, although the Rus soldiers are greedy, it does not mean that they have a low IQ.

"Galia, look at what is written on this piece of paper?" said the leading soldier to a soldier named Galia behind him.

He was the only one of the five soldiers who could read, but only literately.

Galia took the parchment, looked at Galia's forehead and oozed cold sweat, and then simply wiped the sweat on his forehead and watched. When he saw the last place, Garya immediately gave the parchment to the leader with a flattering smile and looked at Pontus.

"What's written on it?" asked the lead soldier.

Galia leaned on the ear of the leading soldier and said, "This is a special permit, you can enter and exit without hindrance within the empire, and the identity of this group of people is not simple." ”

Who is able to get a special permission pass who is simple?

"It can't be fake. The leading soldier was also concerned now, and asked back cautiously.

"The person who made the payment is Marshal Ratomorav...... "Galia just said one person, and the leader was startled and straightened up.

Marshal Ratomorav, the only marshal of the Empire, was only under the emperor in terms of military power, and such a powerful task was not at all something that these little soldiers could offend.

The group of people in front of them were able to obtain the authorization of Marshal Latomorav, is this still something that these five small soldiers can blackmail?
