Collins informs Lorenzo that Viscount Jon Zack and his allies, along with Viscount Chambers, perished in the "Fire of Lorraine." Lorenzo brings Collins to Lady Helena, who learns that over twelve thousand soldiers were wiped out. Collins explains that the fire was likely an ambush by Lord Lynn of Morgan Town, earning him the moniker "Flame Demon." Helena, however, sees this as a salvation for her territory.

Perhaps it was because Helena’s voice was too loud.

Her magnetic voice constantly echoed throughout the study.

It even awakened some of the maids residing in the manor residence...

Standing opposite Helena were Lorenzo and Collins.

Their waists slightly bent, eyes fixed on their shoes.

Not daring to utter a word of doubt.

Several sentences were spoken loudly in succession.

Helena vented the long-suppressed terror and tension in her heart.

If not for the Fire of Lorraine ignited by Lord Lynn, which buried Viscount Jon Zuck and his army in a sea of fire.

Even if the Wells Manor has now chosen to pledge allegiance to Lord Lynn, becoming a supporter manor.

Having offended Viscount Jon Zuck, the Wells Manor still faced the risk of annihilation.

One must realize.

Although Morgan Town and Alba Town are adjacent.

There is still a certain distance and journey between them.

Even if aware of Viscount Jon Zuck dispatching an army to attack Alba Town.

Sending fast horses to Morgan Town to request military aid from Lord Lynn would still take time.

The riding of the messenger cavalry, Lord Lynn’s combat decisions, gathering soldiers, and dispatching troops to march to Alba Town...

This entire process would require at least one to two days.

With the military power possessed by the Wells, Kennedy, and Orlando manors.

It would be impossible to resist Viscount Jon Zuck’s army for even one or two days.

But now.

Lord Master Lynn has directly annihilated Viscount Jon Zuck and his supporter manor lords entirely!

The supporter manors of Viscount Jon Zuck, Connelly and Louis Manors, were wiped out.

This means that in Alba Town, no manor would dare use military might to oppress and seize benefits from Wells Manor.

The annihilation of Viscount Jon Zuck.

Means that the future troubles of Wells Manor have been completely eradicated!

How could Helena not be excited and thrilled?

She leaned back, resting against the wooden chair’s back, moving her right hand to put the pipe’s mouthpiece into her mouth.

Helena took large puffs of smoke, allowing the slightly spicy smoke to surge within her body.

But at this moment, Helena felt a lightness and comfort she had never experienced before.

Exhaling the smoke, Helena looked at Lorenzo and Collins and spoke.

"I am aware of the situation in Kakasong City."

Standing opposite the walnut desk, Lorenzo instantly understood and gestured to Collins.

Collins was slightly stunned, failing to grasp the meaning for a moment.

Until he saw Lorenzo signaling with his eyes.

Only then did Collins realize, quickly bowing courteously.

"Lady Helena, Collins takes his leave first."

Helena said nothing, merely nodding gently.

Lorenzo watched Collins exit the study and gently close the wooden door before quickly retracting his gaze.

Helena stood up, striding towards the back window.

Her long, straight legs were faintly visible beneath the high-slit robe.

Standing at the edge of the window, Helena gazed into the distance, seemingly trying to find something in the darkness.

But her amber eyes turned several circles.

There was a hint of disappointment in Helena’s amber eyes.

She hadn’t found what she imagined in her mind.

The blazing flames illuminating the entire night sky.

Inhaling a mouthful of smoke, and exhaling again.

Helena, with her back to Lorenzo, spoke.

"Lorenzo, what do you think I should do now?"

Standing a few meters behind Helena, Lorenzo heard these words and started to think quickly.

A few seconds later.

With a tentative tone, Lorenzo’s voice sounded.

"Lady Helena, since Viscount Jon Zuck and his supporter manor lords have been completely annihilated."

"Lorenzo believes that a guard team can be immediately dispatched to the neighboring Pulder Town."

"Before the other manor lords of Pulder Town obtain information about Kakasong City."

"Seize all the properties of Nek Manor and Foster Manor! Money, labor, grain, and so on!"

Seeing Lady Helena remain silent, Lorenzo spoke of the potential drawbacks.

"If it proceeds without obstacles, your Wells Manor’s strength will surely increase greatly!"

"However, Lady Helena, if the guards face resistance from the Pulder Town manor lords while seizing the properties of Nek Manor and Foster Manor..."

"Conflicts may occur, generating hatred, and they might even unite to attack your Wells Manor."

"If there are only one or two manors sending their guard peasants to Alba, you could invite Orlando and Kennedy Manors to resist together."

"But if there are more enemies... based on Lorenzo’s understanding of those two manor lords..."

"They might very likely refuse Lady Helena’s invitation."

"Just like before, they refused Zok Connelly Manor Lord’s request for military aid..."

Benefits and risks always coexist.

The greater the benefits, the greater the risks!

As the Guard Captain, he only needs to strategize for Lady Helena of the manor.

Upon receiving Lady Helena’s orders, executing them with full force is sufficient.

Helena remained silent, gazing at the distant night sky.

Only her delicate brows slightly furrowed, indicating she was contemplating something.

Just as Helena hesitated.

In the distant darkness, a sound of galloping hooves resonated.
