"This Baron Rod is difficult to deal with; he has many soldiers. We should retreat."
Chris immediately ordered a retreat without hesitation.
Soon, the soldiers withdrew like a tide.
Seagate also naturally didn't have a chance to return to the merchant caravan as Chris took him away.
Rod led the guards in a charge but did not pursue Chris.
He just stood in place, watching their departing backs.
"You are safe now."
Rod scanned the entire caravan with his gaze and said, "I am Baron Rod Tulip of Black Pine Ridge. I will ensure your safe entry into my territory."
"Thank you for coming to save our lives."
The caravan leader bowed with gratitude in his voice,
"I am Fluo Gray Claw, the leader of the Gray Claw Trading Team, and thank you again for saving us."
"If it weren't for you, we would probably all have died. Rest assured, I will certainly pay you enough taxes and rewards!
I will also convey your goodwill to Viscount Leo of the Giant Bear Clan!"
