"Additionally, there are some pieces of jewelry whose exact value Wesley is unable to estimate..."
At this point, Wesley concluded.
"Master, this is the inventory of the spoils brought back from the attack on Benitez Manor."
"Please give your instructions, Master!"
Lynn responded and said.
"Very well done, thank you for your hard work."
"Arrange for personnel to transport the poultry and livestock back to the domain, and hand them over to Guy at the ranch."
"Bring the money and valuable items back to the domain, and give them to Steward Kuisi for unified management."
"For the other items, keep them all temporarily in the Manor Castle."
"We will make decisions after the war ends!"
The immediate priority is dealing with the war against Jon Zuck.
Wesley immediately replied, "Yes, Master!"
Lynn responded, his gaze shifting to look at the few people seated at the wooden chairs of the dining table.
"Now, let’s delve into the theme of this assembly!"
The expressions of the four led by Rose grew serious, they sat up straight, waiting for their Lord’s words.
Lynn began: "From the capture of a spy from Kakasong City, it’s clear that Jon Zuck is getting eager to move."
"No surprise, it’s because the fall of three supporting manors has made Jon Zuck feel at risk."
"He wants to quickly grasp the situation in Morgan Town, the strength of its armed forces, and the number of armored soldiers..."
"Thus to launch an attack on Morgan Town!"
Rose nodded in agreement.
It was his sentinels who captured the spy and conducted the interrogation.
Naturally, he understood this all too well.
Lynn continued: "Even though in the Manor Castle, besides the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards led by Commander Tyrone, all have been armored."
"Yet in the upcoming battle, the soldiers will still face guards and peasants several times their number."
"There’s even a great possibility other lords may provide military support to Jon Zuck."
"To minimize soldier casualties as much as possible and ensure victory in this war..."
"We must incorporate all unknown factors into the subsequent battle plans!"
The faces of the four led by Rose turned slightly somber, not uttering a word, seemingly contemplating something.
Lynn leaned back, resting on the back of the wooden chair.
His gaze swept across the faces of the four led by Rose.
"Gentlemen, tell me if there’s any way to ensure that our soldiers maintain their initiative in this war,"
"while achieving victory at minimal cost?"
Lynn did not urge the four led by Rose to answer immediately.
He moved his arm, picking up the beer on the table, and took a sip.
Although it was late summer, the weather was hot.
The beer brewed and stored in the wine cellar of the Manor Castle had a noticeably refreshing taste.
Of course.
Compared to real chilled beer, the taste and texture were far different.
As Lynn set down the beer mug.
Rose responded.
"Master, I still believe relying on the walls of the Manor Castle to hold our ground is the best defensive strategy!"
"Utilizing the height and strength of the walls, the sharp arrows of the archers, and the pre-prepared rolling wood and stones, etc."
"We can effectively repel Jon Zuck’s armed group attack, minimizing soldier casualties as much as possible!"
Lynn stared directly at Rose and asked.
"Setting aside whether the free people and farmers of Morgan Town would be recruited or taken away by Jon Zuck."
"If Jon Zuck leads his army to bypass and head towards the domain while we defend the Manor Castle, how should we decide then?"
"Wait for Jon Zuck to dig trenches, pit traps, and build cheval de frise around the Manor Castle?"
"Then the advantage of the cavalry will be lost."
Rose frowned and did not continue speaking.
Lynn’s gaze shifted to the remaining three: Wesley, Earl, and Tyrone.
Wesley hesitated for a few seconds, then spoke.
"Master, I believe we should take the initiative to attack!"
Lynn’s gaze fell on Wesley’s face.
"Take the initiative... elaborate."
Under the watchful eyes of Rose, Earl, and Tyrone.
Wesley maintained a calm demeanor and continued to speak.
"Master, from my understanding of the terrain..."
"Between Morgan Town and Kakasong City, there’s an area full of high mountains and dense forests."
"We can completely dispatch a squad of armored soldiers to set traps and ambushes in the forest!"
"Especially with the advantage of the archers’ long-range attacks, we may not completely annihilate Jon Zuck’s group in the forest."
"But we can significantly weaken Jon Zuck’s manpower!"
"Using the complex forest terrain, we can conduct guerrilla warfare to minimize soldier casualties."
"Achieving two things at once!"
"At the forest’s exit, across the plains, we can station heavy and light cavalry as a second line of defense."
"Once Jon Zuck’s armed group crosses the forest, the cavalry can charge and tear them to shreds!"
Lynn nodded slightly without saying anything.
His gaze shifted once more to the remaining Tyrone and Earl.
Though they did not speak, Lynn could understand what they were thinking.
Tyrone, of course, because he was just appointed as the commander of the Pan Rock Iron Guard.
Without any brilliant battlefield performances.
Having not received any honors, naturally, he would not dare to overstep.
Earl, on the other hand, was much simpler.
