A mysterious black-robed man used a crow to spy on Bishop Semo, who was engaging in illicit activities with a woman behind closed doors. The next morning, Lynn was informed that Commanders Luo Si and Wesley had returned to Morgan Town with a large troop movement, indicating minimal resistance in their previous operations.

In the vast farmlands ahead.

A large contingent of troops was heading toward the manor castle.

Because the gravel and mud road wasn’t wide, it could only accommodate the width of two single-horse carriages.

As a result.

The marching troops led by Rose and Wesley were stretched very long, nearly two or three miles!

Seeing such a long line, Lynn couldn’t help but shake his head.

The basic infrastructure of Morgan Town was really poor!

After waiting for the three commanders to complete the statistics of the manpower brought back.

Lynn would need to immediately invest in the development and construction planning of Morgan Town.

Especially the infrastructure projects in Morgan Town!

An hour later.

Under Lynn’s watchful eye.

Rose and Wesley led their marching troops into the manor castle.

With the sound of heavy footsteps and the clashing of armor.

Rose and Wesley climbed the stairs of the city wall, their eyes scanning the surroundings before falling on Lynn’s back.

Without any hesitation, Rose and Wesley strode forward and stood two or three meters behind Lynn.

Both bent over in salute and simultaneously said respectfully.

"Master! We have succeeded without fail!"

"Rose and Wesley have brought everything from the four manors back to the manor castle."

Lynn slightly turned around, staring directly at Rose and Wesley, and replied.

"Well done!"

"During the operations at the two towns, did you encounter any obstructions from other Manor Lords?"

Rose and Wesley exchanged a glance.

Rose took the lead to explain.

"My Lord, when other Manor Lords saw Rose leading a cavalry troop into their towns, they dared not offer any resistance."

"In fact, two Manor Lords even told Rose."

"As long as you do not send armored soldiers to attack their manors."

"And as long as you are willing to let them continue governing their manors."

"They are willing to extend the utmost sincerity and establish friendly relations with you, My Lord."

"Once they complete the farming in their manors, they will come to Morgan Town at the earliest opportunity..."

Lynn nodded, a sense of joy arising in his heart.

As long as there is strong military strength, as long as there are enough armored soldiers.

Even without waging war on other Manor Lords!

Even just sending an armored troop to march past those weaker Manor Lords.

Would make them tremble with fear, wanting to submit.

This is the benefit of having strong military power.

This is also the importance of holding military parades!

"I understand!"

After responding, Lynn turned his gaze to Wesley, standing nearby.

"Commander Wesley, did you encounter any obstructions from other Manor Lords?"

Rose didn’t continue speaking.

Instead, he let Wesley answer on his own.

Upon hearing Lynn’s inquiry, Wesley quickly bent over and explained.

"Yes, Master!"

"Wesley led the archers and light infantry."

"Due to the effective speed of marching, we headed to Pulder Town, next to Alba Town."

"When Wesley arrived at Pulder Town and was about to start collecting from Nek Manor and Foster Manor."

"The Manor Lord of Pulder Town, Hao O’Connor, had already sent his guard team into Foster Manor, preparing to take over everything in Foster Manor."

"In strict execution of your orders, Master, Wesley could only issue the command to attack O’Connor Manor’s guards."

"After killing almost two hundred of O’Connor Manor’s guards, the remaining guards fled."

Lynn’s expression didn’t change at all, waiting for Wesley to continue.

"Killing so many guards from O’Connor Manor would certainly incur the resentment of Manor Lord Hao."

"But due to the lengthy journey for soldiers and the lack of additional food supplies."

"To prevent unnecessary risks of ambush attacks."

"Wesley gave up the idea of attacking O’Connor Manor."

"After collecting all the manpower, wealth, and goods from Foster Manor and Nek Manor."

"Wesley immediately ordered the troops to march back to Morgan Town."

"On the way back to Morgan Town, Commander Rose joined with his cavalry and troops, and we rendezvoused."

At this point, Wesley concluded.

"Master, that was the unexpected incident Wesley encountered."

Lynn nodded, saying, "An event with no danger; returning safely is a good thing."

"Both commanders may step down and rest now."

"I give you one day, together with Commander Tyrone."

"To inventory all the manpower, poultry, livestock, and other goods brought back, and report back to me!"

"At the same time, arrange for the kitchen chefs to prepare food for the manpower brought back to the manor castle."

"I don’t want the hard-earned manpower to die of hunger due to starvation!"

Rose and Wesley replied quickly.

"Yes, Master!"

Lynn responded, "You may depart now."

Rose and Wesley, without any further hesitation, bowed in salute and then retreated respectfully.

Watching Rose and Wesley leave, descending the city wall.

Lynn retracted his gaze and looked once again at the vast farmland beyond the manor castle in Morgan Town.

The O’Connor Manor in Pulder Town that Wesley mentioned...

Lynn cared not a whit!

Whenever Lynn desired, once the soldiers had rested, he could deploy armored troops to attack and annihilate O’Connor Manor at any time!

Under a joint attack by heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, and archers.

After Jon Zuck and his supporting Manor Lords have been vanquished.

Even if O’Connor Manor sought protection or military assistance from other forces.

They would still have no chance or ability to resist!

However.

At this moment, what Lynn needed to do was not to continue waging external wars.

But to stabilize the development of Morgan Town!

As Lynn gazed into the distance.

A swift, galloping cavalry figure appeared in the vast farmland afar.

The speed of the horse was rapid, kicking up dust and causing the earth to tremble.

The farmers walking on the gravel and mud road stood by the roadside, allowing the cavalry to pass swiftly.

Lynn raised an eyebrow, a thought occurring to him, and again opened the Holographic Map for a glance.

The cavalryman wore no armor, and the horse’s hooves were marked with scorched black from burnt ash.

Seeing the dust-covered face of the middle-aged man on horseback, Lynn raised an eyebrow.

It was Balin Riley, who had previously detoured to Alba Town to bring back the latest intelligence from Kakasong City for him.

Under Lynn’s watchful gaze.

Balin galloped on horseback, quickly approaching the manor castle.

With the sound of hooves, Balin entered the manor castle.

Before long.

The sound of someone climbing stairs could be heard again from behind Lynn.

Climbing the stairs, Balin saw the Lord at the edge of the city wall.

Without any hesitation, Balin walked swiftly up.

Coming behind Lynn, Balin bent over in salute, respectfully saying.

"Lord, Balin, following Captain Gaspar’s orders, has returned to the manor castle."

"To report the latest information from Kakasong City to the Lord."

Lynn glanced at Balin, speaking in a deep voice.

"Speak."

Granted Lynn’s permission, Balin dared not hesitate and quickly spoke.

"Lord, your subordinate has obtained reliable intelligence."

"Two days ago, Church Bishop Simo convened a meeting at night with the free nobles, wealthy merchants, workshop masters, and others in Kakasong City!"

"The specific details of the meeting are not yet known to us."

"According to our knowledge, Bishop Simo was supposed to announce during this morning’s prayer ceremony."

"That Bishop Simo will become the new leader of Kakasong City."

"But last night, Simo was assassinated by a mysterious person!"

Lynn’s eyebrows shot up instantly as he asked.

"Simo, dead?"
