Chapter 385: Northern Conspiracy
"Jack, the car is ready."

"it is good."

Jack nodded and walked out of the hotel with his two trusted men.

After walking out of the hotel, he looked up at the dark night sky covered by dark clouds, then turned his head to look at the deserted and quiet street.

Beside him, his trusted men came up to him and whispered.

"Please be careful."

"It feels so quiet, and there are no Donnar people on the streets. It's really different from the West."

Jack nodded slightly and said with some emotion as he walked on the street.

"Yes, probably they moved all the people there."

The committee's merger of villages and towns caused quite a stir. Even outsiders knew about this without asking. However, they did not know much about the specific migration plan.

The confidant standing by also looked at the deserted street and continued with a smile.

"But that's not important anymore."

"You're in such a good mood."

Jack glanced at his smiling confidant beside him, smiled too, and said.

The confidant nodded excitedly, his voice amplified uncontrollably, and said
"Of course! The commission is about to be successful, and Mark is working hard, so I have to work harder too!"

"Ah, yes, not all our efforts have been in vain. When this commission is over, I will return to my hometown and get married."

Jack nodded gratifiedly and strode down the street, speaking.

Just as Jack finished his words, suddenly, more than a dozen figures rushed out from the houses on the street.

"Varied!"

The moment the figure appeared, Jack reacted immediately, pushed away the two confidants beside him, and prepared to draw his sword to meet the enemy.

But, it's too slow.

Before Jack could draw his sword, figures rushed out of the house and instantly rushed in front of him. One of the figures stabbed with his sword, knocking Jack's weapon directly away, while the remaining figures fell beside Jack, and several sharp blades appeared next to Jack's neck.

If they moved even the slightest, Jack would be beheaded.

While Jack was instantly controlled, his two weaker confidants were even more unable to react. They just stood there stupidly until the sword landed on their necks. Only then did they come to their senses.

Feeling the chill on his neck, Jack silently raised his hands and said.

"Let's talk it over. I surrender."

"Tell me, what are you transporting disguised as a caravan?"

A voice sounded beside Jack.

After hearing the sound, Jack also raised his head slightly and looked around.

After seeing the committee legion soldiers around him, he smiled bitterly and gave up struggling. As an adventurer who had been active in the committee for more than half a year, he still knew the difference between the city defense forces and the legion soldiers.

If it was the city defense army, Jack might still think about escaping, but if it was the legion soldiers, then he would give up completely, so he said honestly.

"Greenskin, there are six Greenskin Orcs captured from the Green Tide controlled area in the caravan cargo."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the legionnaires changed drastically. A legionnaire who was holding a strange device looked at the device, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice.

"Not lying."

"Sir, I..."

Before Jack could say anything else, the legionnaires exchanged glances with each other, and then three legionnaires swung their swords and knocked all three men to the ground.

Afterwards, the legion soldiers used a communication device to quickly pass the message to everyone involved in the operation.

After receiving the news, the commander of this operation did not hesitate and chose to order the soldiers to take action.

After the order was issued, the legion soldiers who had entered the hotel in various disguises suddenly rose up and quickly suppressed and arrested all the caravan members in the hotel.

"boom!"

Less than five seconds after the action began, a gust of air broke through the ceiling of the hotel, wood chips sprayed into the sky, and a figure tried to escape from the broken ceiling.

But before he could run far, a ray of light shot out from the roof near the hotel.

Although he tried to dodge, the light kept turning and chasing him closely.

Just as he gathered his strength, released it towards the oncoming light and threw out a ball of light, a sharp ray of light shot out from another roof.

The ball of light he threw out was penetrated directly at an astonishing speed and annihilated.

"boom!"

As the sound of wind and waves was heard, the light that had been chasing him also passed through the wind and waves and hit him. Under his horrified gaze, the light turned into ropes and tied him up.

As he was tied up with ropes, his strength became inert and difficult to mobilize. At the same time, a force was also eroding his body.

After losing the balance of power in his body, he fell uncontrollably from a high altitude and crashed into a residential building.

"boom!!!"

Just as he was relying on his physical strength to withstand the damage caused by the fall and was about to continue trying to escape, several legionnaires appeared in front of him in a residential building.

Looking at the approaching legion soldiers, the extraordinary person disguised as a caravan merchant also smiled awkwardly and said.

"Hush, can we reconcile?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the legionnaires around him did not respond. Several legionnaires placed their swords on his vital points to guard against his possible resistance, while the remaining legionnaires took out restraints and put them on his hands and legs.

After putting on the confinement item, the magic power in his body began to flow into the confinement item continuously and was quickly drained away. At the same time, his connection with the external elements was also cut off, and the magic power in his body could not be replenished at all.

In addition to the restrictions on magic power, the confinement item also has a restrictive effect on the body. A stream of energy flowed into his body from the confinement item, giving his body a weakness buff.

After the restraining props took full effect, the captured extraordinary person completely lost his threat. He was then escorted out of the house by the legion soldiers.

After all, they are just a small hired team with at most a few low-level extraordinary people, not to mention the legion soldiers. If they ignore casualties, the city defense army can defeat them.

Therefore, after several extraordinary people were suppressed by the legion soldiers, let alone the remaining elite adventurers, the smarter ones surrendered directly, while the slightly more stubborn ones were knocked out and taken away.

In less than a few hours, the entire caravan was packed up and taken away, including all the caravan's merchandise and the six green-skinned captives. In addition, all traces of the caravan were cleaned up.

All debris left over from the fight was removed, leaving no signs of a fight.

Although the committee's action did not kill anyone in the caravan, it was not because the committee was kind. It was just that the committee was currently short of labor, and it would be good to have one more free laborer.

However, before all of them were arrested and sent to labor camps, the military also searched their memories and confirmed the forces behind the commission.

Originally this was just a routine matter, but I was shocked to find that this commission was not from the Silver Empire.

After confirming the power behind the scenes, the military spellcaster from the local military camp hurried into the camp with the report.

The highest-ranking military officer in the area was handling local military affairs in the barracks. When he saw the military spellcaster hurriedly coming in, he raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and said, holding the military affairs in one hand.

"What's the matter? You're so anxious."

"Look at this."

The military spellcaster handed him the report in his hand.

After receiving the report, the highest local military officer glanced at it, frowned slightly, and put down the military affairs in his hands.

He read the report carefully, then he looked up at the military spellcaster and said.

"They are still in the barracks."

"Still in the barracks."

The military spellcaster nodded and said.

"Well, everyone stay here first. I will submit the report to the military. Wait for notification from above. Then go down."

The officer placed the report on the desk and instructed.

The military spellcaster nodded and left the camp quietly.

On the same day, the report from the local area was uploaded to the Apocalypse Military Department. After reading it, the military department also sent the report to Roland in the parliament hall.

At this moment, in the lounge of the parliament hall, Roland, who had just finished leading the morning meeting, was lying on the sofa, slowly drinking the liquid of wisdom while reading the messages on the communication device.

Therefore, when the report was sent, Roland saw this report that was urgently sent by the military.

Roland glanced at them twice, his eyes thoughtful.

A commission from the Northern Kingdom? Interesting. What do they want to do by capturing the green orcs?
This kind of thing has never happened in Roland's memory.

No, maybe I just don’t know.

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking about it, he could guess something based on the information he knew.

The civil war in the Northern Kingdom will start soon if nothing unexpected happens. It should be that the orc or half-orc faction wants to strengthen the power of their own faction.

After all, before the gray-skinned orcs in the north were indiscriminately attacked by the green tide, their attitude towards the green-skinned orcs was rather ambiguous.

It was not until the Greenskin Orcs launched a frenzied attack on the North and forcibly assimilated all the captured Grayskin Orcs, and discovered that the Greenskin Orcs were completely unable to communicate, that the Northern Kingdom officially began to become hostile to the Green Tide.

However, now that the Green Tide has been stopped by the Committee, and the Northern Kingdom has never had any contact with the Greenskin Orcs, they probably still think that the Greenskin Orcs can be won over? Maybe they want to win over the Greenskin Orcs?
No, that's not right, probably not.

Roland frowned slightly. Even if he could win over the greenskins, what would happen? With the committee blocking them, could the greenskins still bypass the committee and run to the North? The Northern Kingdom was about to have civil unrest, so they wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke the committee, would they?

Moreover, the commission was just to capture a few greenskin prisoners. In this case, they should be trying to use the reproductive capacity of the greenskin orcs to quickly train a greenskin army? Or maybe they want to study the characteristics of the greenskin orcs?
Roland shook his head slightly. Although he had a few guesses in his mind, they were just guesses. Roland couldn't say for sure what the specific situation was.

Although the Northern Kingdom occupies the entire North, its national strength is not very strong. Not to mention compared with the Silver Empire, it is not even as strong as the current committee.

Not to mention that the Northern Kingdom is now divided internally and cannot concentrate its national strength to fight against foreign enemies.

It’s fine that the committee has no intention towards them, but do they dare to provoke the committee?
Originally, Roland had not thought about the Northern Kingdom, but when they jumped in front of him, Roland found that the civil strife in the Northern Kingdom seemed to be a good opportunity.

Although the Kingdom of the North is an orc kingdom, in terms of its population and social status, it can be said that orcs occupy most of the high-level positions, half-orcs occupy most of the middle-level positions, and the people of the North are mostly lower-level civilians.

Although several kings of the Orc Kingdom have been constantly promoting the orcization of the North and promoting marriages between orcs and humans, they have also been using various means to limit the growth of the human population.

However, the orcs' crude administrative system was simply unable to implement these administrative measures, and therefore, the growth rate of the human population in the North had basically never decreased.

The head tax, which was previously used to limit the human population, is basically useless. As long as the tax officials are given some benefits, the existence of illegal households can be concealed.

For example, Roland, when he was reincarnated into this world, was an illegal resident of a northern human tribe who had kept his identity secret by bribing tax collectors. Apart from not having an identity and being unable to go to the official towns of the Northern Kingdom, he was basically no different from an ordinary northerner.

In short, humans still dominate the Northern Kingdom.

Therefore, once there is civil unrest in the Northern Kingdom, the committee can fully accept the refugee population created by the civil unrest in the Northern Kingdom.

Although according to memory, the Northern Kingdom was eventually defeated by the human faction and the orc faction uniting to establish a new Northern Kingdom dominated by orcs and accepting humans. Moreover, the civil strife in the Northern Kingdom ended in less than two years.

However, this time, the civil strife in the Northern Kingdom is expected to last longer, not that Roland wants to interfere in their civil war.

However, if Roland remembered correctly, the Northern Kingdom in his memory absorbed the escaped extraordinary people and warriors from Donnar and was able to quickly defeat the orc faction in less than two years.

But now, the world line has changed. Roland led the War Council to repel the Green Tide. The extraordinary people and warriors of Donnar either defected to the Council or died at the hands of the Council. Only a small number of extraordinary people and warriors left Donnar.

In this case, even if the human and orc factions of the Northern Kingdom united, could they still quickly clear the orc faction within two years?

It's probably impossible.

Therefore, the committee might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to migrate a large number of people from the Northern Kingdom to Donnar.

but
Roland's eyes flickered.

If there is a chance, we must find a way to interfere in the civil war in the Northern Kingdom.
