When the vehicle slowed down for the inspection, Imperial Army soldiers immediately approached to check it.
The male in the driver's seat rolled down the window and showed the officer a document stamped with the bright red seal of the "Chaotic Era Commerce Association" from the Northwest Niksasende Territory.
"We are trade representatives of the Northwest Border Commerce Association. We are assessing the last of the trade goods on the eastern coast and are now preparing to head to the capital to discuss acquisition affairs with the company there."
He appeared polite, and his tone was calm and courteous.
The soldier meticulously examined the documents and then ordered the people in the vehicle to get out for an inspection.
A thorough search of the vehicle followed.
After a moment,
"Is there a problem, sir?"
Pranay asked respectfully.
"You will need to stay here for twenty-four hours, reapply, and have your safety information reverified with our province before you can pass."
