System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1034 - 298: Decisive Victory (10,000) (Part 5)

"Kennedy Manor is willing to follow Lady Helena and swear fealty to Lord Lynn of Morgan Town!"

Brick’s brows furrowed, his face full of hesitation.

Helena’s gaze turned towards Brick and inquired.

"Does Manor Lord Brick perchance have another plan?"

Alex likewise turned his gaze towards Brick.

Feeling their gazes, Brick’s heart tightened slightly.

He hesitated a bit and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what if that Lord Lynn, like Zock, wants to take everything we have?"

"What should we do?"

Helena spoke without any hesitation.

"Even if Lord Lynn wishes to take everything we have, what can we do?"

"After we refused Zock’s request for military aid, Connelly Manor was wiped out."

"We no longer have any choice."

"And even now, I, Helena, have never regretted rejecting Zock’s request for military aid."

"Whether it’s Connelly Manor or Louis Manor, they all deserve to perish!"

Brick subconsciously nodded.

Louis Manor is not much better.

Like Connelly Manor, both are supporters of Viscount Jon Zacks.

Even though there are some conflicts and disputes between them, more often it’s about the interchange of interests.

On the contrary, their three manors suffered long from the exploitation of Connelly Manor.

Alex pondered for a few seconds and hesitated to speak to Helena.

"Lady Helena, even if we wish to swear fealty to Lord Lynn, how should we establish contact with him?"

"If it’s merely to seek his protection and thus pledge our loyalty..."

"We who humble ourselves will certainly have to pay a great price!"

"As you said, Lady Helena, surrendering land, perhaps even losing the ability to manage the manor!"

"The best way to show loyalty is when Lord Lynn requires military aid, we should provide him with a certain number of armed followers for assistance."

"Of course, we can also pay the economic taxes of the manor to Lord Lynn."

"And when we need help, Lord Lynn can provide us with protection!"

Brick gave an approving nod, his gaze fixed on Helena.

Not just the two manor lords.

Even Lorenzo, who silently stood by, also turned his gaze towards Helena.

Helena said nothing.

She leaned back in her chair, resting against the back of the seat.

With her amber eyes, she stared straight at the ceiling above.

Leaving that distinct chin, matched with a neck that was white and devoid of a single excess fold or wrinkle.

And in front of her, the snow-white curve that nearly escaped the strapless cover of her long dress, displayed before the three.

Helena was indifferent, focused solely on exhaling smoke from the pipe in her hand.

Burst after burst of smoke.

From Helena’s moist and crimson lips flowed out...

Half a minute later.

Helena, sitting in the chair, moved her body and sat up straight.

That prominent curve in front of her was directly placed on the table.

The right elbow rested on the table, with the pipe held suspended in front of Helena.

In the pipe, wormwood and wispy leaves constantly burned, emitting strands of smoke.

Either floating in mid-air.

Or drifting into the mouth and nose of Brick and Alex opposite.

Seeing Helena suddenly change her posture, Brick asked with some anticipation.

"Lady Helena, have you thought of a solution?"

Alex’s eyes were full of expectation.

Helena instantly rolled her eyes at the two, "What? You really think I’m a savior?"

"If I were that powerful, would I let Connelly Manor exploit Wells Manor for so long?"

Brick and Alex’s faces bore unmistakable embarrassment.

Helena continued speaking, "Regardless of whether a solution exists, we must make a decision quickly."

"Zock has arrived in Kakasong City, and Viscount Jon Zacks certainly knows everything that happened in Alba Town."

"Once Jon Zucks decides to launch an attack on Lord Lynn, and summons all the manor lords for assembly, then sends troops from Kakasong City to Morgan Town..."

"That is to say, whether for Lord Lynn or for us, there is little time."

Brick and Alex knowingly nodded.

Suddenly.

Helena, sitting, stood up.

The nearly one-meter seventy height, overlooking the two manor lords seated opposite.

Her voice was magnetic as she spoke, "It’s better to act soon than later."

"Let’s head to Morgan Town tomorrow morning."

"This way, we can demonstrate our sincerity to Lord Lynn and also have ample time to investigate his military strength."

"What do the two manor lords think?"

Brick and Alex couldn’t help but look at each other.

A few seconds later.

Alex stood up first, responding.

"I agree with Lady Helena’s suggestion!"

"Rather than shrink in fear within the manor, waiting for the crisis to hit, it’s better to gamble once."

Brick similarly gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Since we’ve reached the endgame, let’s fight them!"

Helena nodded in satisfaction, "Thus, tomorrow morning we’ll gather in Alba Town."

"Let’s head to Morgan Town together to see Lord Lynn."

The meeting ended.

Under Lorenzo’s guidance, Brick and Alex left the study, walking down the stairs.

Perhaps still immersed in the conversation during the meeting, neither spoke a word.
