Now Keira takes the initiative, which is exactly what John wants.
Even if the Paladin hadn't come to tip off the news, Baron Carter, who had been prepared for a long time, would not have been caught by the Pope so easily.
But when it comes to the Li family's territory, everything can't be arranged in advance by John.
Without giving the knight a chance to answer, as soon as John finished speaking, a group of soldiers appeared in the woods where they were marching.
Looking at the clothes without any heraldry, John recognized their identities at a glance.
In less than a day, John was discovered and ambushed by the other party.
John was not surprised but overjoyed.
Such a quick response in the place he just occupied made him more certain that surrendering to the heretics was the right choice.
"This is their place, be careful what you say."
He immediately gave instructions to his men, and before the other party launched an attack, Baron Carter shouted loudly to the soldiers holding strange weapons.
"We are nobles from the north.
We have important things to ask to see the master of Brilliant City."
Naturally, it is not easy to call them heretics on other people's territory, but as conquerors, these soldiers from Brilliant City do not need to be so polite.
There was a chatter of heterodox island language that John and others could not understand.
From the half-smiling expressions of these soldiers, John knew that they must be laughing at him and others.
This is the power of the conquerors, and as the losing side, they can only accept it.
Fortunately, John had already had experience, and he was patient enough to wait for the soldiers to finish their ridicule.
But his knight was not in such a good mood.
Holding the hilt of his sword, the knight who just asked the question moved a little closer to John.
"Baron, they are insulting us."
Anyone with eyes knew that these guys from the Heretic Island were making fun of them in their native language.
It could be seen that John had seen the power of those weird weapons, and John did not want to conflict with these soldiers because of these trivial matters.
The soldiers on the Heretic Island were also very alert.
They found that the knight's hand was on the hilt of the sword, and they immediately raised their weapons.
At the same time, a guy who was dressed a little differently and who was probably the leader opened his mouth and spoke fluent Imperial dialect.
"I am Misio, the commander of the scout battalion of the Class B Fengyong Division.
On behalf of Brilliant City, I accept your request, but please hand over the weapons in your hands.
To avoid misunderstandings, please do not make any unnecessary moves.
We will take you to your destination safely, and we ask that you cooperate with us. " John had long heard of the strange organization in Brilliant City, which was completely different from the way families and titles were reported in the Empire newspaper.
It would take some studying to figure out their military structure, but John had already clearly felt the meaning of throwing down his weapons.
"Baron, we can't just be at their mercy."
Seeing that John really planned to put down his weapon, the knight next to him persuaded him again.
But being surrounded and having no intention of fighting, John shook his head.
"They are very disciplined.
Such troops don't play any tricks."
In other words, these soldiers teased them at the beginning.
When they showed hostility, the atmosphere of these soldiers immediately changed.
Being able to switch their states freely is why John praised them.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he is flattering these soldiers.
The principle that the King of Hell is easy to meet but the devil is difficult to deal with also applies here.
But John still underestimated these soldiers of Brilliant City, who had a clear reward and punishment system.
After escorting them to the Fengyong Division mentioned by the scout battalion commander, John quickly met the owner of the place.
A person of about the same age as him can serve as the commander of a unit at such an age.
The other party's background must not be that simple.
Sure enough, after reporting his name, John understood why the other party could take on such an important position at such an age.

"Baron John Carter, this is not the first time I have heard of your Excellency.
I have already informed my father of your arrival, and I will accompany you next.
By the way, my name is Li Chenghai, and I am the division commander here. " John has become very clear about what the Li family in Brilliant City represents in the past few years.
Being able to meet a member of the Li family undoubtedly made his journey of betrayal much easier.
What's more, Li Chenghai was not complimenting John.
He had indeed heard of John's name while fighting on the front line.
And he also knew John's past very well, because like Lorne, the ancestors of their Li family had always paid attention to this younger generation of his.
For John, a northern noble who had a fight with Lorne, Li Chenghai had a lot of background information on his desk.
So when John said there was important information, Li Chenghai didn't doubt it at all.
Even because John might know more information about Lorne, he personally led John to meet his father.
It's just that the relationship between father and son in the Li family, seeing Li Chenghai's attitude of not raising his head, John was curious about what kind of family could have such a father-son relationship.
But this is a family matter, and John is not qualified to say more.
And judging from the other party's airs and Li Chenghai's respectful attitude, it was enough even if the man in front of him was not the master of Brilliant City.
"Lord Li, I am Baron John Carter, the lord of the North.
Due to the persecution of some villains in the North and the current Pope, I have to come to your territory.
I hope you can grant me asylum.
In contrast, I have a lot of information to report to you."
Seizing the opportunity, John couldn't wait to finalize the exchange of interests with the Li family.
But Mr.
Li in front of him didn't seem to be interested in the information in his mouth at all.
He waved his hand and interrupted John before he could say the terms of exchange.
"No hurry, Baron John Carter, why don't we have a chat first."
How can there be no rush in the fight?
Although Brilliant City already has the advantage, it doesn't mean that Keira doesn't have the power to fight back.
And when His Majesty the Pope attacked him, John knew that the North would also join the war.
But the other party was obviously not just talking about it, and he was really not in a hurry at all.
The guy named Li continued: "The Baron is an orc from the northern grassland, which is really a rare species."
It was really a chatty tone, but for his speech, John wanted to tell the other party that it was not uncommon for the orcs to be plentiful in the grassland.
Unfortunately, it was not John who made the decision now.
He wanted to talk about business and looked at Li Chenghai who brought him in.
I saw that this guy still had his head lowered.
It was definitely impossible to expect him to bring the topic back to the right track.
Bite the bullet, John plans to reverse the situation himself
