It had been twelve hours since Lin Mu had left the Capital city. Along the way, he had met quite a few blockades and checks that the kingdom had set up. He now saw the reality of how much the kingdom was anxious about the Northern Tribes.

A few bandit groups had also risen up in the recent months to take advantage of the presence of Northern Tribes. The strange thing was, people were only speculating that the Northern Tribes had arrived in the Empire.

Most commoners did not even know for sure if this was true, only the king and the other nobles knew the truth currently. Yet, a strange belief had settled in their hearts after hearing countless rumors.

Now it was a fact for them that the Northern Tribes were in the empire and in that way the Shuang Qian kingdom. Even if the tribes had not spread to the entire empire, it was likely that they were in the Shuang Qian Kingdom, as it was located right near the border of the continent.

If one went north from the Shuang Qian kingdom and went beyond the northern forest, they would reach the Pear's belt which was the great wall the divided the Great Zhou continent from the forbidden northern continent.

The pressure was also exerted on the vermilion legion that guarded the pear's belt. But they were used to this and were able to take it well. They had increased the security and had even increased their numbers with recruitment drives.

But this posed a question to the people; if the vermilion legion was guarding the pear's belt, how were the norther tribe people entering the empire?

Right now the people that questioned this were in the minority. But it wouldn't be long for it to spread to the majority. And if any problem was caused by the northern tribes and it was found out, it was likely that the commoners will be blaming the officials.

All of these were the points that Lin Mu had analyzed while traveling. He was reading through the records he had collected from the mercenary union and some things that Wu Hei had provided him. It was obvious that there were a lot of conspiracies and schemes in the background as well.
