Chapter 1166: Chapter 320: Addressing You as the Fire of Lorraine (12,000)
Lynn nodded and said, "The forest exit no longer requires so many soldiers to guard it."
Under the confused and expectant gaze of Rose and the other two.
Lynn explained, "The spies lurking in Kakasong City have returned with reports."
"Jon Zuck and his supporting Manor Lords, as well as Viscount Chambers’ army from Wind Hill."
"A total of twelve thousand people, all perished in the sea of fire!"
Upon hearing this, Rose and the other two’s eyes widened instantly.
Jon Zuck’s army!
A total of twelve thousand people!
All perished in the sea of fire!
This...
Rose and the other two were not only shocked that this forest fire annihilated Jon Zuck’s army.
They were even more astounded that their master could speak so calmly about the death of twelve thousand lives, so casually.
That was twelve thousand lives!
The population on their master’s territory was slightly over twenty thousand!
However.
Rose and Wesley thought again.
If their master hadn’t buried Jon Zuck’s army in Lorraine.
The twelve thousand troops would have engaged them in direct battle.
Either Jon Zuck’s army would die, or they would perish.
The final outcome.
There was a great possibility, that they would pay a huge price to win this war.
Their master just used strategy to skip the process and reduce soldiers’ casualties.
Lynn continued, "The reason for recalling you three commanders is that there are two tasks for you to complete!"
Rose and the other two’s expressions were solemn, they quickly and respectfully bowed in response.
"Master, Rose and Wesley are at your disposal."
Lynn responded and continued.
"With the destruction of Jon Zuck and his supporting Manor Lords, their manors must be in chaos or in a bloodline power struggle."
"I need you to split your forces into three routes and quickly head to Boxi Town, Pulder Town, and Rasio Town."
"Take everything from Jon Zuck’s five remaining supporting Manor Lords’ estates back to Morgan Town."
"Money, jewelry, labor force, iron goods, poultry, livestock, and all the stored crops in their warehouses!"
"If you encounter obstruction or opposition from other Manor Lords on your way there or back..."
"There’s no need to send cavalry back to Morgan Town to seek any instruction from me."
"Immediately attack that Manor Lord’s estate and destroy it."
"Similarly, bring everything owned by that Manor Lord back to Morgan Town."
Lynn’s gaze swept over the faces of the three, nearly shouting.
"Dispatch your soldiers immediately and set out!"
Rose, Wesley, and Tyrone had solemn expressions and quickly responded.
"Yes, Master!"
Seeing that Lynn had no further instructions.
The three bowed, saluted, and retreated.
Lynn’s gaze followed their backs until they left the reception hall.
The reason he was eager to know the intelligence from Kakasong City.
Apart from arranging Gavin to lead the farmers in cultivating and planting.
This was the most important reason.
As long as Jon Zuck’s supporting Manor Lords are dead.
He needs to immediately send troops to receive the property of the deceased supporting Manor Lords!
If he waits too long.
The chaotic supporting Manor mansions will surely be divided by other Manor Lords in the same town.
Or, the Guards and Peasants, without a Manor Lord, will simply disperse.
These supporting Manor mansions were originally his spoils of war!
He just needs to arrange personnel to collect them.
If, on the way to collect, there are other Manor Lords who want to rob him of his spoils of war...
Lynn doesn’t mind directly destroying that Manor!
With the armored soldiers he currently possesses, the armed forces he commands.
He can move unimpeded in the towns surrounding Kakasong City.
This is the confidence and courage that possessing strong military power gives to Lynn!
Lynn even thought of sending soldiers into Kakasong City.
But then he considered.
Kakasong City still has walls for defense.
And there is Church Influence like Simo and other Free Noble Classes...
Plus, because of the Fire of Lorraine, twelve thousand lives were lost.
The Free People in the city were terrified of him.
Once soldiers approach, it will certainly arouse resistance or even opposition from the Free People in the city.
Rather than this.
It would be better to wait for the ’Fire of Lorraine’ to gradually subside.
Wait for him to complete the collection of the supporting Manor Lords’ properties in the surrounding towns.
Then plan further actions against Kakasong City!
He can take it step by step!
Just because there are so many influential classes present.
They can help him to gather and concentrate the Free People and other properties in Kakasong City!
After giving all instructions to Morgan Town.
Lynn’s always tense mind slightly relaxed.
Without the threat of Jon Zuck and his supporting Manor Lords.
He can, while summoning and training soldiers and expanding military forces.
Continue to devote more energy to cultivation and planting, technological research and development, and breeding training, etc.
He needs to construct facilities capable of smelting higher quality steel!
He needs to use high-quality steel to forge armor and vests with higher hardness, lighter weight, and better breathability!
He needs to build a comprehensive intelligence collection system!
He needs to train the pigeons in the Pigeon Nest for fast intelligence transmission...
Produce higher quality telescopes.
Expand the roads within the territory and leading to Morgan Town to enhance marching speed.
