System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1153 - 318: Burst Through the Sea of Fire (10K)

Lord Lynn, can rise in this tumultuous world!

However.

Samuel is very aware.

Lynn can use his wisdom to defeat the army of Viscount Jon Zack.

He can also use military power to advance and occupy Kakasong City, suppressing the Free People rebelling inside.

But to legally occupy Kakasong City is extremely difficult!

Whether it’s the Karedi Empire of the Carolingian Clan.

Or the Marquisate of the Ducas Clan.

All fiefdom lands are bestowed properties, not conquered spoils!

Even a Lord has no right to arbitrarily deprive vassals of their legal fiefs, nor can they encroach upon other Lords’ vassal territories!

It’s exactly between Noble Lords, to ensure their interests aren’t infringed upon, that such provisions were established!

Besides!

The Church also opposes ’illegal encroachment’, and will sanction ’illegal encroachment’!

The Church prohibits private wars between manor lords and Lords through systems such as ’God’s Truce’.

It also defines ’illegal occupation of others’ territories’ as ’the sin of greed’!

In simple terms.

Lynn, trying to occupy the entire Kakasong City, will face multiple restrictions!

Of course.

The core essence among these is the struggle for interests from all sides!

Retracting his gaze, Samuel turned and walked toward the castle entrance behind.

Walking down the steps, turning through corridor corners...

But shortly.

Low murmuring chanting reached Samuel’s ears.

Arriving at the church’s main hall.

Samuel saw the white, hurriedly cleared ground, where the bodies of kneeling, chanting believers were.

His face was filled with tranquility.

As Samuel observed, footsteps sounded from behind.

A vigilant Samuel quickly turned to look.

Upon seeing Simo, dressed in a white bishop’s robe, Samuel’s cold and guarded expression instantly turned respectful.

Samuel bowed respectfully and addressed.

"Lord Bishop, are the believers’ chants disturbing your rest?"

Simo, with slightly dark circles around his eyes, glanced at Samuel then at the believers in the hall.

Simo ignored Samuel’s inquiry and hurriedly asked.

"Instruct the Priest, have they sold the Certificate of Absolution to them?"

Samuel raised his eyebrow, replying.

"Rest assured, Lord Bishop, Samuel has always remembered Lord Bishop’s teachings."

Simo nodded with satisfaction, "That’s good!"

"Because of that damn imperial war, the residents inside the city have become restless."

"Leading to a decrease in the quantity of tithing collected from the believers!"

"We must sell more Certificates of Absolution to the believers to ensure the church’s normal expenditures!"

Samuel said nothing, bowing slightly in agreement.

After a few seconds of silence.

Simo suddenly thought of something, and questioned Samuel.

"Did something happen suddenly in Kakasong City?"

"Why are there so many believers coming to the church in the middle of the night?"

Samuel quickly explained: "Lord Bishop, Lorin connecting Kakasong City and Morgan Town caught fire!"

"Unexpectedly, Viscount Jon Zack’s army will likely be engulfed in flames!"

"These believers are frightened by this, so they entered the church at night to pray to God..."

Simo questioned: "Lorin caught fire?"

Samuel continued explaining: "Yes, Lord Bishop, Samuel has already gone to the balcony for a distant confirmation."

"Lorin indeed caught fire."

"Samuel worried about disturbing your rest, so I did not immediately report to you..."

Listening to Samuel’s firm words.

Simo’s curved brown eyebrows instantly raised.

"Was it Lynn who set Lorin on fire?"

Samuel hesitated for a few seconds, finally speaking.

"Samuel believes, nine times out of ten, it’s Lynn, the Lord of Morgan Town..."

Lynn dispatched soldiers to destroy the manors supporting Jon Zack.

The conflict between the two is something nearly everyone knows in Kakasong City.

Viscount Jon Zack also dispatched a large army to attack Morgan Town.

Lynn setting fire to Lorin naturally makes him the prime suspect!

Upon hearing this, Simo wasn’t angry but rather delightedly said.

"What a fire!"

"What a grand Lorin fire!"

"Without Lynn’s fire, there wouldn’t be so many believers coming to the church."

"They wouldn’t even use their money for buying food to purchase Certificates of Absolution!"

"Without purchasing Certificates of Absolution, where would the Church get more money?"

Standing behind Simo, Samuel.

Frowned slightly without saying anything.

Simo abruptly changed his tone here.

"However..."

"Even if Lynn, Lord of Morgan Town, is already paying tithing to the Church, making great contributions to the Church."

"I still need to send you to Morgan Town."

"To pursue Lynn’s crime of ’illegally burning large forest areas, destroying ecological balance’."

"As for the extent of this punishment for burning forests... It’s entrusted to you, Samuel, to be fully responsible!"

After a few seconds pause, Simo spoke solemnly.

"If Lynn wipes out Viscount Jon Zack’s army completely, intending to use this to occupy Kakasong City..."

"The Church will enforce ’God’s Truce’ and other regulations to sanction Lynn!"

Listening to the instructions issued by Simo, Samuel’s face showed no surprise.

Standing on the open-air balcony atop the church, Samuel had already envisioned this outcome.

Samuel bowed once more, respectfully responding.

"Samuel follows all instructions of Lord Bishop."
