System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1193 - 325: The Weak Have No Diplomacy (10,000 Words) (Part 2)

With a crisp snap, it broke clean in two.

A few armored soldiers finished inspecting the charred corpses ahead and spoke to Victor.

"Lord General Banner, nothing unusual!"

Victor nodded slightly in response.

The scouting detachment continued to advance and probe toward the front of Lorin.

As they kept moving forward.

On the ground ahead.

The scattered charred corpses became densely packed.

Farther ahead, the mass of charred bodies almost completely carpeted the ground!

Perhaps because of the agony brought by the raging flames, each charred corpse was frozen in some twisted posture of struggle.

There were so many.

It was almost impossible to see the end at a glance!

Looking at the horrific scene before them, Victor and the soldiers all wore grim expressions.

There was not the slightest hint of sorrow, nor any trace of sympathy or pity.

As the soldiers of Lord Master Lynn.

Victor and the others naturally knew.

These corpses were the army of supporting Manor Lords led by Viscount Jon Zacks!

If not for Master Lynn having conceived such a battle strategy.

They would have waited for Jon Zuck’s army to pass through Lorin and enter Morgan Town, then fought them head‑on.

At that time, the ones likely to die would have been them!

Victor ordered the armored soldiers to check one by one for any survivors.

Seeing the countless remains of corpses ahead.

Lynn’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

This was the terror of a forest‑burning fire attack.

With the retreat route ahead sealed, Jon Zuck’s army of more than twelve thousand could only stand helplessly and wait to be consumed by the flames.

Without seeing the burning with his own eyes.

Lynn could hardly imagine that it had been so brutal!

However.

No matter how brutal, Lynn felt no regret whatsoever.

If there was a next time, Lynn would likewise carry out a forest‑burning fire attack without the slightest hesitation!

War!

Either you die, or I perish!

The moment soldiers grip their Weapons and charge onto the battlefield, they must be prepared to die in action!

Suddenly.

A stern shout came from Victor at the front.

"Who?"

"Get out here!"

The armored soldiers who had been checking the corpses one by one all turned their eyes.

They gripped their Weapons tightly and looked in the direction of Victor’s gaze.

Lynn likewise turned to look, surprise filling his eyes.

Someone had actually survived under the Lorin inferno that had burned for several days?

Although they had not yet seen anyone.

From behind the blackened remains, there were indeed sounds of movement.

Under the wary gazes of everyone.

Several figures climbed out over the pile of charred corpses in front.

Though the faces of the men were smeared with ash and dirt.

Their Standard Armor made it possible to identify them at once.

Victor narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the sturdy men who had climbed out, and asked tentatively.

"You are... Lord Earl?"

Standing atop the heap of blackened remains, Earl cast Victor a casual glance.

His gaze shifted quickly.

When he saw Lynn, who was being guarded by a squad of armored soldiers.

Earl’s eyes lit up; he hurriedly stepped down from the pile of corpses and walked over.

Still under everyone’s gaze.

Earl stopped four or five meters in front of Lynn, bent at the waist in salute, and spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Lord, I have not disgraced your trust!"

"Earl led the ten‑man Ignition Team and successfully set fire to the Lorraine Entrance, with not a single casualty!"

Lynn looked straight at the Earl before him, who seemed to have grown thinner, and said approvingly.

"You did very well!"

This forest‑burning fire attack involved many moving parts.

Roseway and Suli led soldiers to Alba Town to wipe out the Connelly and Louis Manors.

Gasper promptly gathered Jon Zuck’s army and the supporting Manor Lords, then had the army march toward Morgan Town.

The arranged Scouts reported back in time on the army’s marching Speed and progress...

The most crucial link among these.

Was Earl leading the Ignition Team to set fire to the mountain forest at the Lorraine Entrance on the Kakasong City side.

They completely sealed off Jon Zuck’s army’s line of retreat!

They completely buried Jon Zuck’s army in Lorin!

Hearing Master Lynn’s praise, there was not the slightest pride on Earl’s face.

Instead, he lowered his head modestly and replied respectfully.

"Lord, you flatter me."

"Earl merely acted according to your instructions."

Lynn answered, "Very good!"

"You’ve worked hard these past few days. Take them back to Morgan Town to rest first."

The Lorin blaze had cut off the route for Earl and his ten‑man Ignition Team.

Clearly.

Earl and the other ten had been eating and sleeping in the open for several days.

Lack of adequate food and rest naturally left them all thinner.

Earl lowered his head in gratitude.

"Yes, Lord."

"However, before returning to Morgan Town, Earl has one more matter to report to you..."

Lynn said nothing, fixing his gaze on Earl.

Earl did not dare delay and hurried to explain.

"Lord, after Earl led the Ignition Team to set fire to the Lorraine Entrance, we hid in the farmland a few hundred meters away from Lorin."

"It was to scout whether anyone would escape from the sea of fire."

"If only a few managed to escape, Earl could lead the Ignition Team to cut them down."

"If there were many and Earl could not oppose them, we could at least learn who it was that escaped..."

Lynn nodded in approval.
