System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1002 - 293: Who Dares Disrespect Him?
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
"You are indeed the Manor Lord of Connelly Manor!"
Walter’s brow furrowed, aware that Rand was framing him at this moment.
Yet he still offered no defense.
As Rand’s words fell, the entire master bedroom of the manor was plunged into silence.
An oppressive atmosphere began to permeate the bedroom.
Until a few seconds later.
Inquiry from Zock began to emerge from behind the curtains.
"Walter, speak about the ’matter concerning the survival of my manor’ you mentioned earlier!"
"If your explanation displeases me, you may start to execute yourself!"
Rand’s eyebrows rose as he glanced at Walter beside him.
The last time he slapped himself twenty times, it nearly cost him half his life.
So far, the swelling on his cheeks has not completely disappeared.
This time, Walter is to slap himself fifty times...
A sense of anticipation inevitably emerged in Rand’s heart.
Hearing Zock call his name, Walter did not hesitate and responded: "Yes, Master Zock."
"Just as I reported to you earlier."
"To verify the authenticity of the number of armed soldiers the Lord of Morgan Town possesses."
"I took advantage of the night, leading a team of guards lightly to Morgan Town."
Inside the bedroom.
Walter’s deep voice continued.
"After crossing the vast southern forests of Alba Town, we continued toward Morgan Town."
"But just after crossing the forest, I heard the sound of marching hoofbeats, the soldiers’ footsteps."
"I took the guards to the hillside and looked toward the direction of Morgan Town..."
"Under the illumination of a large area of torches, a large contingent of armored soldiers was marching toward the direction of Alba Town!"
"I made a preliminary estimate of the marching armored soldiers, at least over two thousand people."
"According to their marching speed, at most in two hours, they can reach your manor mansion!"
As Walter’s words fell, Rand’s almost mocking voice rang out.
"Guard Captain Walter, are you trying to tell Master Zock."
"That the lord of Morgan Town has dispatched a soldier army, taking advantage of the night to invade Alba Town, launching an attack on Master Zock’s manor?"
"And an army of over two thousand armored soldiers?"
"And within two hours, will arrive at the master’s manor mansion?"
Walter’s brow furrowed, and he asked in return: "Is there a problem?"
Rand’s smile became more noticeable: "Hehe, Guard Captain Walter."
"I don’t know what your intention is, to break into Master Zock’s bedroom at night,"
"But do you really think that Master Zock is one of those brainless Manor Lords?"
"Such false information, do you think the master would believe it?"
"Not to mention the master won’t believe it, even I, the maids and servants in the mansion, absolutely won’t believe it."
Walter’s gaze, fixed on the curtain around the large bed, spoke decisively.
"Master, what Walter said is what he witnessed with his own eyes, every word is true."
"If there is the slightest falsehood, I’d be willing to be hanged on the gallows by the master."
Rand wanted to speak again, but Zock’s voice emerged from the curtain.
"Walter, if you spoke the truth."
"With the military strength possessed by Connelly Manor, how should we defend against an attack by an army of two thousand armored soldiers?"
Rand was surprised to hear this and asked in disbelief.
"Master, do you really believe what Walter said..."
Before Rand could finish speaking, Zock’s shout came out.
"Shut up!"
Rand was startled and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say a word.
Walter, without any hesitation, immediately responded.
"Master, there are two methods!"
"The first, immediately gather all soldiers in the territory, fully arm them, even the peasants must be summoned."
"Quickly dig trenches outside the manor castle, set up roadblocks, and construct defensive works."
"This will repel enemy cavalry, hinder the enemy’s ability to advance swiftly, and attack the manor mansion."
"All the grease and other flammable materials in the warehouse should be transported out, which can form a fire attack or be ignited, obstructing enemy cavalry charges."
"Immediately dispatch personnel to Alba Town, notify the other four Manor Lords in the town, and request them for military aid."
"Because once your manor is breached, the manors with military strength inferior to yours will also face the same threat of annihilation!"
"At this critical moment, all the manors in the town must help each other to survive the crisis."
"Meanwhile, dispatch guards riding fast horses to Kakasong City."
"Inform Viscount Jon Zacks of the crisis you are about to face."
"Request him to immediately notify other town Manor Lords to assemble for military aid to your manor."
"And launch a full-scale assault on the Lord Lynn of Morgan Town to eliminate future threats!"
Listening to Walter’s orderly and almost comprehensive response.
Rand once more wanted to say something.
But remembering Master Zock’s shout earlier, he ultimately chose to give up.
Zock Connally within the curtains seemed to ponder.
The luxurious bedroom once again fell into silence.
A few seconds later.
Zock’s interrogating voice sounded again.
"Tell me the second method."
Walter’s voice remained decisive.
"If other Manor Lords cannot offer assistance, we must choose the second method."
Walter paused before continuing.
