Hearing Soren's question, Karan's face instantly turned ashen, and he said angrily, "Those adults in the Quartermaster Department are even more bloodsucking than vampires!" His tone was full of strong dissatisfaction and anger towards these quartermasters.

"The purchase price they offer is less than half of what Your Highness gives," Karan continued.

His voice revealed helplessness and indignation, "This money, for veterans like old Dirk,

is what they are counting on to buy two slaves to support them in their old age."

In the empire, land is controlled by the royal family and nobles, and commoners are not allowed to own land.

Therefore, for many commoners, the best way to support themselves in old age is to buy slaves.

At night, these slaves can take care of their masters, and during the day, they can work and earn living expenses for their masters.

This model of old-age care has become a common phenomenon in the empire.

Karan relentlessly accused the quartermasters of the Third Army Corps of unfair practices, and Soren's eyes gradually narrowed, flashing a dangerous light.

Obviously, the actions of the quartermasters of the Third Army Corps had aroused Soren's anger.

These quartermasters used their power to cruelly exploit the soldiers, and this behavior made Soren feel intolerable.

Considering that the Third Army Corps was commanded by his teacher, Breyer, Korena couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Dealing with this matter would be very tricky, requiring a balance of various interests and relationships.

"I understand," Soren took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, "Karan, you did a good job. Take this money back with you, and if anyone dares to make things difficult for you, you can come directly to me." Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing Soren's words, Karan couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

He knew that he had found the right person this time.

With the support of His Highness Soren, he believed that those quartermasters would no longer dare to exploit them wantonly.

Karan looked at Soren gratefully, bowed deeply, and then turned and left.

Watching Karan's firm and resolute departing figure, Yasso couldn't help but curl his lips, saying with a hint of worry, "Royal Brother, this kid is really fearless. If he reports directly to you like this, his good days will probably be over when he returns to the Third Army Corps."

In the army, the act of reporting over the heads of superiors is regarded as disrespectful and disruptive to discipline, and often incurs the dissatisfaction and suppression of superiors.

Hearing Yasso's words, Soren glared at him and said unpleasantly, "Do you think you're so old?"

Implying that Yasso was still young and not qualified to judge others with an experienced tone.

Yasso was rendered speechless by Soren's words. He had just turned fifteen this year, and compared to Karan, who was already twenty years old, he was indeed still a child.

Korena watched this scene, couldn't help but chuckle, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere, and suggested, "Royal Brother, now that things have come to this, why don't I ask Teacher to come over and discuss countermeasures?"

Soren waved his hand and said, "No need, we'll go find Teacher ourselves." He obviously had his own plans and didn't want to publicize this matter too much. He then added, "But before we go, we need to prepare some gifts and change into a set of clothes. We're too conspicuous like this, which doesn't suit the purpose of our trip."

Everyone nodded in agreement, so they began to prepare gifts and change clothes,

When everyone changed into the clothes Soren had prepared, they were all stunned.

They found that they were actually wearing ordinary soldiers' armor, while Eaton was wearing a centurion's armor.

"Royal Brother, what are you planning to do?" Korena asked curiously, she felt that Soren seemed to have a special plan.

Jennifer's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she guessed, "Your Highness, are you planning to visit the Quartermaster Department in disguise?"

She seemed to understand Soren's intention. Wearing ordinary military uniforms like this would allow them to better conceal their identities and gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation in the Quartermaster Department.

"You have good eyes," Soren looked at Jennifer appreciatively and nodded.

He did plan to go to the Quartermaster Department in this way to find out what those quartermasters accused by Karan were up to.

This would not only avoid alarming the enemy but also allow him to more realistically understand the situation and needs of the soldiers.

As soon as Soren's plan was spoken, Eaton and Jennifer's eyes lit up.

This plan was not only creative but also gave them an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the internal workings of the army. Although both came from knight families, their families had long since declined and lost their former glory.

In social situations, they were often treated with cold eyes and contempt by nobles, and even other families who were also knights held deep discrimination against them.

In the world of knights, only those who own a knight's fief can be respectfully called a knight family, while knights like them who only have the title of knight but no fief can only be called knight families.

This difference in status made them feel particularly awkward and marginalized in the knight class.

This made the position of these knights from knight families in the army actually not much higher than that of officers from commoner backgrounds.

The group decided to secretly go to the Third Army Corps to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation of the army,

On the way to the legion, Hiltin, the Ten Thousand Cavalry Commander of the Royal Guard Knights, played a key role. He used his identity and influence to cover for them, allowing them to easily integrate into the Third Army Corps without being discovered.

The Third Army Corps is huge, and still has tens of thousands of people.

Although the quartermasters are high-ranking and powerful, it is impossible for them to know everyone in the legion.

This provided great convenience for their secret operation.

Soren and his party, led by Eaton, swaggered into the Quartermaster Department.

Eaton held in his hands the spoils of war they had seized on the battlefield, each of which was carefully selected and valuable.

Quartermaster Karen Er took the spoils from Eaton's hands one by one, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This price was far from the price Soren had estimated in advance, a difference of three times.

A strange silence fell in the big tent, and everyone looked at each other, looking at Karen Er in disbelief.

Eaton was unwilling, and he tentatively asked, "Sir, take another look, these are all good things, the price should be more than that, right?"

Karen Er seemed extremely impatient. He pushed the items in his hand to the table next to him, instructing the guards to quickly put them away. Then, he threw out a large bag of gold coins and said coldly, "Take the money and get the hell out of here. I'm very busy and don't have the mood to waste time with you commoners."

His attitude was arrogant and indifferent, completely an attitude of forced buying and selling.
