"The biggest security issue on Kuroba Island right now is the conflict between the tribal soldiers and the local residents."
Herman spoke in a heavy tone and recounted the whole story in detail.
Once upon a time, Kuroba Island was a prosperous and peaceful place, and the islanders lived a wealthy and peaceful life.
They frequently interacted with merchants from all directions, and over time, these residents also acquired some of the worldly atmosphere of the merchants.
However, the horrific Kuroba Island Massacre changed everything.
The residents of the island were brutally killed and their property was looted. Their lives have been in trouble ever since, and sometimes even having enough food and clothing has become a problem.
This huge sense of disparity made them resentful, so they blamed all the misfortunes on the invaders.
As a result, the pirates and tribal soldiers recruited by Kroeber began to have a hard time on the island.
Not only do they suffer hatred from the locals, but they are also verbally abused and even attacked by residents almost every time they go out on patrol.
It is this tense relationship that has made the situation on Kuroba Island increasingly complicated and the public security problem increasingly serious.
After listening carefully to Hermann's explanation, Kroeber had a very clear understanding of this issue.
"That's it?"
Kroeber's words were full of doubt and dissatisfaction, as if he found it unbelievable that such a problem could arise.
There was a hint of majesty in his voice, and the aura of a superior from him further highlighted this emotion.
"As the captain of the guards on Black Feather Island, is this how you maintain law and order? You can't even handle such a small matter!"
Krober's tone became increasingly sharp, and his eyes were fixed on Hermann, making the latter feel tremendous pressure.
Hearing Krober's reproach, Herman's face became very solemn.
He quickly knelt on one knee, a look of panic on his face, and said with his head down, "Sir, please calm down. Please listen to my explanation..."
Hermann's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was very frightened by Kroeber's rebuke.
“That’s enough!”
Kroeber stopped Hermann's defense. He didn't have that much time to listen to a loser defending himself.
"Let me ask you, do the soldiers wear armor when they patrol? Does it have my family crest on it?"
"Yes, sir."
Hermann knelt on the ground and answered honestly.
"Since they are wearing my family crest, these soldiers are no longer tribal people. Instead, they belong exclusively to me, Krober. They represent my reputation. If they are insulted, they are provoking me, the lord!
And you! As the captain of the guards appointed by me personally! You actually tolerated this group of unruly people's provocation against me. Do you think I should scold you?"
After hearing this, Hermann trembled all over, and even his lips began to tremble.
"Please spare me, sir. I...I didn't think that much!"
Hermann swore! He really hadn't thought about it that much. He really just didn't know how to handle the relationship between the soldiers under the lord's command and the people under his command. After all, he was not loyal to Krober himself and had no power to dispose of Krober's property.
"I also found Knight Foster and asked how to resolve this matter, but Knight Foster simply asked me to take people to warn those guys to stop verbally abusing and attacking the lord's soldiers, otherwise they would be thrown into prison."
And he did so, but the group of people were only peaceful for a few days. Not long after, they became more aggressive. Not only did they verbally abuse and throw stones at the soldiers, they even sneaked up to the soldiers, kicked them a few times, and then fled.
Those tribal soldiers were converted from prisoners of war and had committed many unforgivable crimes.
Therefore, even if they were beaten and abused, they did not dare to easily clash with the subjects under Krober's rule, for they were worried about facing unfair trials and punishments.
Therefore, they could only endure the humiliation silently, hoping that time would gradually erase all the pain.
After listening to Herman's explanation, Krober's anger subsided a little, but only a little.
There was still undisguised anger in his voice:
"Doesn't this just show that my dignity as a lord has been wantonly trampled upon by them?"
At this moment, Krober's expression suddenly became much calmer, however, this calmness concealed endless anger.
His face was so calm at the moment that it was frightening, as if it was a volcano about to erupt, which could spew out hot magma at any time.
"Immediately mobilize the army and arrest all those ignorant individuals who dare to challenge me. Kill anyone who resists. It seems I've been too lenient, giving them the illusion that I'm easy to bully.
Go quickly, I want to make sure everyone on Black Feather Island knows clearly what will happen if they challenge my authority! "
Krober's voice came from above Hermann's head, but Hermann did not dare to look up. He could only lower his head to respond to Krober's orders.
"yes!"
Hermann stood up and walked towards the barracks.
He knew very well that these stupid guys on the island had angered Lord Krober, and he was afraid that a bloody storm was about to come.
"How interesting! This world can also awaken the seeds of resistance to aristocratic rule?"
(Originally it was another word, but I was afraid of a certain color at night, so I simply replaced it)
