System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1176 - 322: The New Leader of Kakasong City

Under Lorenzo’s gaze, she sat on the cushioned chair.

Her elegant eyebrows remained furrowed, seemingly pondering Lorenzo’s words.

Watching Helena inhale the smoke.

Lorenzo’s tone shifted suddenly.

"However, Lorenzo rather believes that Lady Helena’s decision to go to Morgan Town and swear allegiance to Lord Lynn is the most correct!"

Helena’s expression became stern as she spoke in a somber tone.

"Paying fifty percent in tribute every year, you still think it’s a good thing?"

Feeling the chill in Helena’s words, Lorenzo felt slightly tense and quickly replied.

"Perhaps Lady Helena feels a bit aggrieved."

"Why should Wells Manor, having been passed down through generations, swear allegiance to a lord of unknown origin."

"Especially when paying such a large amount of tribute annually..."

Lorenzo sighed in his speech.

"But the current situation is as it is."

"Facing Viscount Jon Zuck and his great army, if you don’t seek military aid, Wells Manor awaits only destruction!"

"Not just Wells Manor."

"Other manors wishing to survive will also swear allegiance to Lord Lynn!"

"Lorenzo believes that Lord Lynn dispatching armored soldiers to other towns is not only to seize the wealth of supporter manors that have been eliminated."

"It’s also a demonstration of military strength to manor lords of other towns!"

"Lord Lynn is telling other manor lords that if they don’t want to be annihilated, they should swear allegiance and offer up everything they have!"

Helena, leaning against the wooden chair back, continued to inhale the smoke on her own.

Until this moment.

Helena finally understood.

Lord Lynn exterminated Viscount Jon Zuck and his supporter manor lords and rescued Wells Manor.

No time for rejoicing.

Wells Manor once again fell under the control of Lord Lynn.

It was nothing more than a change of ruler.

A bitter smile unexpectedly appeared on Helena’s face.

Lorenzo, skilled in observing expressions, naturally noticed the change in Helena’s demeanor and spoke.

"Lady Helena, as Lorenzo just mentioned."

"Wells Manor swearing allegiance to Lord Lynn is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"Lorenzo clearly remembers that Lord Lynn said he is willing to impart advanced planting techniques for barley yielding one hundred eighty pounds per acre."

"With autumn planting imminent, you can dispatch your agricultural officer to Morgan Town to learn advanced planting techniques!"

"Beyond planting, once you become acquainted with Lord Lynn and establish a bond, you can also make requests to Lord Lynn."

"Use the goods lacking in Lord Lynn’s territory to exchange for his surplus metal armor and weapons."

"This is the most crucial existence for supporters among manor lords pledging allegiance!"

Helena’s once helpless and bitter face suddenly brightened.

"Exchange for metal armor and weapons?"

Perhaps confused by current matters.

Helena admitted she hadn’t thought as far ahead as Lorenzo facing her.

Before spy Collins returned to the manor residence from Kakasong City.

Helena had been continually pondering how to better resist Viscount Jon Zuck’s great army!

If it really can be as Lorenzo said.

able to exchange metal armor from Lord Lynn.

to create a troop of armored soldiers for Wells Manor, strengthening military force...

Then.

Paying fifty percent in tribute to Lord Lynn and committing to various terms is worth it.

Compared to the importance and scarcity of metal armor, it’s not even worth mentioning!

Feeling Helena’s tone begin to warm, Lorenzo smiled slightly.

"Of course, Lady Helena!"

"But Lorenzo believes exchanging for metal armor will not be easy."

"Lorenzo remembers Lord Lynn still has a batch of soldiers yet to be equipped with metal armor."

"Unless Lady Helena can provide urgently needed goods or items of even higher value to Lord Lynn..."

Ultimately, Lorenzo summarized.

"This way, you can exchange metal armor and weapons with Lord Lynn."

"It can also prove the value that Wells Manor possesses!"

Following Lorenzo’s speech.

In the already silent night, the study grew even quieter.

Helena still spoke no words, her elegant eyebrows remaining knit, constantly exhaling smoke.

Helena’s gaze fixed on the oil lamp on the table.

Allowing the flame of the oil lamp to jump in her eyes continuously.

After a moment of contemplation.

Helena exhaled disdainfully and asked Lorenzo directly.

"How many sets of linen robes and pants are still in the manor residence?"

Lorenzo recalled for a few seconds and replied.

"There should be six thousand sets."

"Lady Helena, you intend to use the six thousand sets of linen robes and pants for trading in Kakasong City..."

Helena calmly responded.

"Naturally, one must pay a sufficient price to draw closer to Lord Lynn."

"Otherwise, why trade for metal armor and weapons with Lord Lynn?"

Lorenzo nodded deeply in response.

Helena continued speaking: "Load all six thousand sets of robes and pants onto the carriage."

"Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the caravan to Morgan Town!"

Lorenzo quickly bowed and replied respectfully.

"Yes, Lady Helena!"

...

Night had deepened.

The stone-structured Alba Town at this time also fell into silence.

On the cobblestone road that can accommodate three carriages passing simultaneously.

Aside from the patrolling town guards, hardly any walking figures were seen.
