As soon as Liam and his soldiers arrived, the old village chief came out quickly and greeted them with a nervous smile.
"How can I help you, Sir Godwin?"
Godwin was a well-known person in the Barony due to his high and unique status.
He was the only healer in the area, so he was treated with great respect by the common folk and the rest of the Ascendants.
For who knows when they might need his services.
Godwin quickly glanced at Liam, then replied in a respectful tone, devoid of arrogance,
"We have come under the Baron's orders to recruit some young people from your village.
Therefore, go and gather everyone between fifteen and twenty years old."
The village chief was astonished and asked suspiciously, hiding his happiness,
"Do you mean that by recruiting them, they will become part of the Baron's soldiers?"
Godwin nodded and confirmed,
"Yes, but not all of them. Only those who have the potential to become Ascendants."
