Lord Lynn annihilated Viscount Jon Zuck and his supporting manors, securing Alba Town and eliminating future threats to Wells Manor. Helena, relieved, considers her next move while Lorenzo suggests seizing properties in Pulder Town. However, he cautions about potential resistance and alliances forming against Wells Manor. As Helena contemplates, the sound of approaching hooves breaks the silence.

Helena’s gaze shifted, and she looked over.

Half a minute later.

A cavalry figure entered Helena’s sight.

On the open square, after the guards around the bonfire inquired.

The cavalry entered the open square, quickly heading towards the manor residence.

The cavalry dismounted directly and entered the manor residence.

After a series of quick footsteps climbing the stairs.

A voice, breathing heavily, sounded outside the study door.

"Lady Helena, Captain Lorenzo, Holland Philip has an urgent report to make!"

Lorenzo, who had already heard the footsteps, looked at Lady Helena for instruction.

Seeing that Lady Helena had no expression, Lorenzo understood and spoke.

"Come in!"

As soon as Lorenzo’s words fell, the wooden door of the study was gently pushed open.

Holland stepped in briskly, standing beside Lorenzo in the study.

Lorenzo scanned Holland and asked.

"So many urgent reports today?"

Colin had just left, followed by Holland’s arrival.

Holland, bending at the waist and lowering his head, quickly spoke.

"Lady Helena, Captain Lorenzo."

"While Holland was patrolling with the guards, they discovered an armored cavalry unit emerging from the forest, heading towards Alba Town!"

Standing by the window edge, Helena immediately turned her body, staring straight at Holland.

"Cavalry?"

On Lorenzo’s face, there was also a hint of tension, and he asked hurriedly.

"Did you see it clearly?"

Holland dared not hesitate, his words firm.

"Holland and the patrolling guards witnessed it with their own eyes, not daring to fabricate even a bit!"

Lorenzo’s gaze instantly turned to Lady Helena.

Seeing no expression from Lady Helena, Lorenzo continued to ask.

"Did you manage to see the number of cavalry and their armor style clearly?"

Holland hesitated for a few seconds, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face, and explained.

"Returning to the Guard Captain, because it was too dark, neither Holland nor the patrolling guards could see the number of cavalry or what kind of armor they wore..."

Holland quickly added to his words.

"However, Holland speculates that those armored cavalry seem to harbor no ill intentions..."

"The armored cavalry unit, upon noticing us, didn’t pursue nor attack."

"Moreover, the direction the cavalry unit is headed is Alba Town, not Wells Manor..."

Lorenzo, hearing this, felt slightly relieved and spoke.

"Is there anything else to report?"

Holland replied with his head lowered, "No further reports for the time being."

Lorenzo nodded, instructed.

"Continue monitoring the armored cavalry unit, if you discover them marching towards Wells Manor, return to report immediately!"

"You may leave."

Holland quickly responded, "Yes, Guard Captain, Holland takes his leave."

Until Holland left the study, closing the wooden door.

Lorenzo quickly looked towards Lady Helena by the window, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

"Lady Helena, it seems Lorenzo’s previous proposal is already too late."

Helena’s eyebrows knitted tightly, waiting for Lorenzo’s explanation.

Lorenzo continued, "If Lorenzo’s guess is correct, Lord Lynn dispatched soldiers to Alba Town."

"The purpose is not to launch an attack on Alba Town or the three manors!"

"But to pass through Alba Town, entering the neighboring Pulder Town and Rasio Town!"

Helena’s gaze fixed on Lorenzo, speaking.

"Continue."

Lorenzo nodded, his words orderly and coherent.

"Firstly, the three manor lords of Alba Town have already pledged allegiance to Lord Lynn, becoming supporter manor lords."

"With the military power Lord Lynn currently holds, even if he doesn’t need the three manor lords as supporters, he wouldn’t rashly launch an attack."

"Because once a war starts, casualties are inevitable."

"Secondly, Lord Lynn just eliminated Viscount Jon Zack’s army, even if using the tactic of setting fire to the forest, without any soldier casualties."

"Lord Lynn still needs to dispatch his armored soldiers into Pulder Town and Rasio Town."

"To suppress the remaining manor lords in Pulder Town and Rasio Town, confiscate the properties of the eliminated supporter manors!"

Helena nodded in agreement.

Lorenzo, deservedly her Guard Captain, indeed presented a reasonable view.

Seeing Lady Helena nodding, Lorenzo felt slightly relieved.

"Lorenzo believes that what Wells Manor and Lady Helena should do now, is to strive their best to build good relations with Lord Lynn!"

"Viscount Chambers of Wind Hill, let’s set aside for now."

"Once it’s known that Viscount Chambers has perished, Wind Hill will immediately fall into a new round of power struggles."

"With the downfall of Viscount Jon Zack and his supporter manor lords."

"If Lord Lynn further confiscates and absorbs all the properties of the supporter manor lords."

"Then Lord Lynn will become the most powerful lord in terms of military strength in the entire Kakasong City!"

"Even if all the manor lords, free nobles, and church forces in Kakasong City unite, they won’t be able to suppress Lord Lynn!"

"Not to mention the small town manor lords around Morgan Town."

"When he creates more armor and trains more soldiers."

"By then, not just the small town manor lords around Kakasong City."

"Even the walled defensive fortification of Kakasong City, can’t withstand Lord Lynn’s armored soldier army!"

Stopping here, Lorenzo paused in his speech.

"In simple terms, the rise of Lord Lynn is a foregone conclusion!"

Helena, walking towards the walnut wooden desk.
