System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1179 - 322: Kakasong City’s New Leader

Let others feel respect and fear; that is the most powerful honor!

Retracting his gaze, Luo Si turned his back on the armored cavalry behind him and spoke in a deep voice.

"Increase marching speed, and pass through the town quickly!"

"Do not disturb the residents of Alba Town!"

Upon hearing the instructions of Commander Luo Si.

The armored cavalry behind him seemed to understand and responded loudly.

"Yes, Commander Luo Si!"

The sound was so loud and resounding that it echoed throughout Alba Town.

Even some town residents who were deep in sleep due to exhaustion during the day were directly awakened, looking dazedly at the roof...

Brick, standing at the entrance of the brothel.

Watched as the armored cavalry marched through the town’s stone-paved roads and left from the end of the town, gradually moving away.

Do not disturb the residents of the town?

Brick’s heart was full of melancholy and helplessness.

Brick naturally knew that the commander known as Luo Si intentionally issued commands to the armored cavalry within the town!

It was precisely to make the armored cavalry respond loudly and wake all the residents of the town.

It was meant to demonstrate the formidable strength of the armored cavalry to the town residents.

It was meant to inform the town residents that even if they marched through Alba Town, they would encounter no obstacles!

Despite Brick feeling the honor as a Manor Lord being challenged and insulted.

Brick had no means of response.

Faced with a choice between being challenged, insulted, or destroyed, Brick could only choose the former!

Until the armored cavalry had moved far away, disappearing into the night.

Alba Town, now awakened, could not regain peace.

One after another, discussions arose from the mouths of residents.

"What’s going on? Why are there armored cavalry entering the town?"

"So many armored cavalry, has a Great Lord arrived in Alba Town?"

"What about the Manor Lords controlling the town? Are they just sitting idly by?"

"They know how to collect our taxes daily, but now that the town faces danger, won’t they just cower in their manor estates, trembling?"

"If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Brick, the Manor Lord of Orlando Manor, just here? Where has he suddenly disappeared?"

...

On the other side under the night sky.

Patches of gray ash fell from the night sky, scattering across Kakasong City.

Despite the deep night.

Silhouettes in white robes continued walking down the streets.

They approached the entrance of large courtyard buildings, knocking on heavy doors.

After brief talks with guards behind the doors, the doors would open slightly before closing again.

The white-robed silhouettes departed, heading to another courtyard building...

Shortly after.

Regal carriages emerged from the courtyard buildings.

Driving along the smooth stone roads towards a distant white building.

The carriages passed through various housing structures before stopping in front of the white building.

Noble men in silk and brocade stepped down with the help of guards, walking towards the open-church doors.

Led by clergy in white robes, they entered the large meeting hall inside the church.

Perhaps due to a light breeze accompanying the crowd into the meeting room.

The oil lamps burning in the corners flickered, emitting an orange-yellow glow.

On the long table in the meeting room.

Candles made from animal fat brightly illuminated the faces seated around the table.

At the head seat.

Simo, dressed in a bishop’s robe, slowly stood up, sweeping his gaze around.

Simo’s face bore a clear smile, and he spoke calmly.

"Gentlemen, since everyone is already here, I won’t beat around the bush any longer."

"Let’s directly enter the theme of this assembly meeting, shall we?"

Listening to Simo’s comforting words.

Everyone seated in wooden chairs nodded in response.

Simo gave a polite nod and continued.

"I assume all of you know that Viscount Jon Zacks and his supporter Manor Lords, including Viscount Wind Hill Chambers who came for military assistance."

"A total of over twelve thousand people, all perished in the Fire of Lorraine!"

The free nobles and wealthy merchants showed stiff expressions, nodding again.

Simo continued: "According to the intelligence I have received."

"Viscount Jon Zucks was attempting to illegally occupy Morgan Town, thus rallying supporter Manor Lords and nearby Lords to wage war."

"As a Church Bishop, I strongly condemn this!"

"Everyone’s legal territory should be protected, and no one can invade to fulfill personal desires."

"Those who violate the will of God are destined to face punishment."

"Jon Zucks received the punishment he deserved!"

"The main topic of this conference is not Viscount Jon Zucks."

"It is our city Kakasong, where we have lived for decades, perhaps generations!"

The free nobles and wealthy merchants looked sternly at Simo standing in front of the main seat.

Simo shifted the topic.

"Currently, the Karedi Empire is embroiled in an Imperial Authority war."

"As the Church Bishop of the Kakasong District, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Of course!"

"It has little to do with those seated here as well."

"However, what concerns us is that Viscount Jon Zucks and his army have been annihilated."

"It also means that Kakasong City has fallen into a state of powerlessness without rulers!"

"Furthermore, it signifies a lack of strong military might to safeguard Kakasong City, to protect us!"

"This is Kakasong City’s greatest crisis currently!"

"Because if any other Lord wishes to invade Kakasong City, wishes to occupy Kakasong City."

"We, scattered like sand, will lack the strength to resist!"

Listening to Simo’s increasingly loud and excited voice.

The free nobles and wealthy merchants clenched their fists, their eyes filled with determination.

A middle-aged man in embroidered brocade directly stared at Simo and spoke in a deep voice.

"Lord Bishop, since we have arrived at the church and joined your meeting."

"It surely proves our concern for Kakasong City’s situation."

"You may openly share your thoughts with us now."

Another rotund wealthy merchant agreed.

"Indeed!"

"The nation cannot go a day without an Emperor of the Empire, and likewise, the city cannot go a day without a Lord."

"We must select a person who can ensure Kakasong City’s safety, someone respected and virtuous, as the new leader of Kakasong City!"
