Lynn and Ludovico finalize their cooperation agreement over drinks. Ludovico gifts Lynn 20,000 pounds of barley, and Lynn reciprocates with a thousand pounds of Lexus Gin. As Ludovico departs, Lynn contemplates his strategy to infiltrate Kakasong City and increase his influence, aiming to counter the Church's power.

The mountain forests on both slopes transformed into rows of red brick houses.

Torches were placed on the walls of the red brick houses to illuminate the roads between them.

The path ahead of the carriage convoy became increasingly bright.

They had reached the mountain pass and arrived at the city wall defenses constructed by Lord Lynn!

The carriage convoy gradually slowed down and stopped in front of the city wall.

Armored soldiers stationed at the city wall defenses opened the heavy gates, emitting the heavy sound of movement.

The escorts and farmers once again drove the horses, and the carriage convoy proceeded beyond the city wall.

Until the carriage convoy passed through the city wall, and the heavy gates emitted the sound of closing movement once more.

The distance from the city wall behind them grew increasingly farther...

Ludovico glanced back at the darkness behind them, his tense body gradually relaxing.

Despite knowing that there were still multiple lines of defense ahead of the carriage convoy.

Yet, as long as they could leave Lynn’s territory and emerge from the city wall defenses.

Ludovico felt a sudden release of pressure in his heart!

Should any unexpected incidents occur within those city wall defenses.

They would have no chance to escape at all!

Retracting his gaze, Ludovico looked ahead into the darkness and spoke.

"Harry, what were you trying to say earlier?"

Harry slightly bowed his head and explained.

"Sir Ludovico, did you simply pledge allegiance to Lord Lynn?"

"Furthermore, are you planning to unite all the free nobility, wealthy merchants, workshop masters, etc., in Kakasong City to pledge allegiance to Lynn?"

Upon hearing Harry’s inquiry, Ludovico let out a cold snort.

"Pledge allegiance to Lynn? Are you kidding me?"

"The Towns Clan has been a sir in Kakasong City for nearly ten generations!"

"If not for the Zak Clan’s early endeavors, the Towns Clan would have been the viscount of Kakasong City!"

"How could they possibly swear allegiance to some lord who appeared out of nowhere?"

"That would be a betrayal of the noble bloodline of the Towns Clan!"

Harry nodded slightly, remaining silent.

Indeed, as he had deduced in his mind.

As a sir, how could Ludovico willingly pledge allegiance to another lord?

Under the torchlight held by the escorts on both sides of the carriage.

Ludovico’s expression shifted, and he muttered.

"Lynn’s goal... is nothing more than to have us contend with Simo for the leadership position in Kakasong City."

"In order to buy himself more time to grow!"

Harry raised an eyebrow, his face showing some surprise.

Ludovico explained, "Perhaps you haven’t noticed..."

"There are some soldiers within Lynn’s territory who aren’t wearing armor."

"Especially at the city wall defenses!"

"As long as we continue to contend with Simo, at least in the short term, there won’t be a new leader in Kakasong City."

"And no one will cast their gaze upon Morgan Town or Lynn’s territory!"

Harry nodded slightly, acknowledging that Ludovico’s words made some sense.

Ludovico continued speaking, "Originally, I thought the industry in Lynn’s territory was of high value..."

"That enabled Lynn to develop his territory to such a scale and possess such formidable military power in a short time without us knowing."

"Indeed, Lynn’s territory has industries of high value!"

"Perhaps you didn’t notice, Harry..."

"In Lynn’s territory... there’s a glass production industry, brewing industry, even coal mines, iron mines, and salt mines!"

Harry’s eyebrows instantly rose, "Iron mines, coal mines, and salt mines?"

When Lynn led them to a tavern and presented them with a glazed bottle containing gin.

Harry’s mind was already speculating.

Using expensive glazed glass items to store liquor, as preservation goods.

Behind the tavern bar, the value was evident, with an array of glazed glass items of different styles.

Lynn turned out to be so wealthy!

Furthermore, with Lynn’s introduction...

Harry was certain that Lynn’s territory housed both a glass production industry and a brewing industry!

But Harry never expected.

In Lynn’s territory, there would also exist coal mines, iron mines, and salt mines!

Ludovico added a hint of lament in his tone.

"No wonder Jon Zuck would muster all of his supporting manor lords and even summoned Viscount Jobs of Wind Hill."

"To launch an attack on Morgan Town and Lynn, even at the cost of valuable farming time!"

"It was Jon Zuck who was too foolish."

"To dare lead his army unguarded into Lorin..."

"In my opinion, Jon Zuck’s death was well-deserved!"

"If Jon Zuck had truly destroyed Morgan Town and seized the industries within Lynn’s territory."

"Given enough time to develop, Jon Zuck would surely rise!"

"At that point, the Towns Clan would never have another opportunity to rise!"

Listening to Ludovico’s ongoing speech, his voice grew louder, with a hint of ambition in his tone.

Harry curiously asked.

"Sir Ludovico, what should we do next?"

Ludovico exhaled a few breaths, pulling back his wandering thoughts.

Glanced at Harry and spoke in a deep voice.

"Since Lynn wants us to submit to him and strive for a leadership position..."

"Then we’ll just follow his intentions."
