Feiliu Castle outskirts, Imperial Decree Camp.
Behind the towering wooden walls were clusters of crowded sheds and wooden huts.
In the crowded wooden sheds, flames licked the cauldrons, and the blacksmiths' forges spewed thick black smoke, smearing their faces black and white.

In an instant, a group of Knights stormed into the villages and towns, taking all their possessions and branding them as slaves.
Farmers with slave marks on the nape of their necks carried sacks, their thin calves showing beneath their tattered linen trousers.

In the Empire, although there were fewer slaves, legally, slavery had never been abolished.
Even before the Branded City engaged in ceramic trade, it was established on the slave trade.
