Chapter 101: Knights [10] - Caravan
A few days later, a caravan was driving on a wide road not far away from the Black Tulip’s Earldom.
The caravan consisted of several long carriages that were made of a special kind of wood, each with three large white horses pulling them from the front.
These horses were not ordinary animals, but special beasts that had been domesticated by the humans of this world, bred to possess not only extraordinary endurance but also superb strength and intelligence.
Each carriage was accompanied by a team of Knights dressed in thick iron armor, who constantly scanned their surroundings as if they were searching for danger.
Suddenly, the Knight at the front of the caravan raised his hand, signaling the carriages behind him to a stop.
Immediately, the other Knights controlled the horses to stop running and gathered with their teammates to discuss. A few teams stayed near the caravan, while others held watch further away.
"What do you think the Lord is planning to do with these ’things’?"
Keeping watch around a lit fireplace, a Knight Apprentice couldn’t help but ask his companion, as the loud screams and words of begging reached his ears despite being so far away.
He wasn’t fazed. He knew that these sounds came from the "items" they were transporting. Or rather, from the people inside the many carriages.
Though this was not the first time that this Knight Apprentice had done this job, he still felt somewhat nauseous when he tried to imagine what the final fate of these people would be.
Hearing his words and seeing the concern that was obvious on his face, his companion didn’t try to comfort him.
"What else could he do with them? The women will either become concubines or be presented as gifts to other nobles, while the children will be sent to the mines to work.
