System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1045 - 300: The Annihilation of Lynn’s Territory (1W)_4

"Three thousand fully armed soldiers? Are you kidding me?"

"Exactly! Even the Viscount doesn’t have..."

"Zock Manor Lord, are you sure this information is accurate?"

"Three thousand fully armed soldiers... Do you know what that means?"

"If he wishes, with just a word, he can annihilate all the estates in Pulder Town in an instant!"

"Even without any ability to resist!"

Zock’s gaze shifted to the speaking Pulder Town Manor Lord.

"Werner Nek Manor Lord, I think there’s no need for you to describe the worst scenario to a Manor Lord who just had his manor wiped out by Lynn, right?"

Werner Nek showed a look of astonishment.

He glanced at Viscount Jon Zuck, who sat at the main seat, and responded apologetically.

"Sorry, I got a bit too excited."

Zock withdrew his gaze and continued speaking.

"Information gathered from traveling merchants can be deduced."

"There are indeed two large armies attacking Connelly Manor and Louis Manor separately."

"The one attacking Louis Manor is a cavalry force."

"A cavalry squad riding tall warhorses, clad in standard plate armor and armor plate."

"Cavalry combined with some infantry, numbering at least 1,500."

Zock’s tone intensified.

"Please note, I said at least three thousand!"

"Because before the army attacking Connelly Manor arrived, I had already retreated."

"I can’t determine exactly how many there are..."

"But being able to split the army into two tiers, even if the numbers aren’t equal, the difference can’t be too significant!"

The Manor Lords nodded in response.

After finishing his words, Zock turned his gaze to Viscount Jon Zuck seated at the main seat.

"Viscount, that’s all the information I have gathered."

Viscount Jon Zuck nodded in acknowledgment.

Zock repositioned himself, sitting on the wooden chair behind him.

Jon Zuck shifted, moving from a reclined to an upright posture on the chair.

With his elbows resting on the table, fingers interlocked before him.

Jon Zuck’s questioning voice echoed.

"Everyone, you should already be aware of the current situation in Kakasong City."

"Let’s hear your thoughts?"

The Manor Lords exchanged glances.

Momentarily unsure of what decision to make.

A few seconds later.

Devant Benitez, seated at the far end of the table, stood up, bowed, and spoke to Jon Zuck.

"The Benitez Manor of Boxi Town is willing to follow the Viscount’s every command."

The remaining five Manor Lords frowned.

They naturally understood why Devant, who was doubtful in the previous meeting, responded so quickly this time.

Because.

Morgan Town is adjacent to Alba Town and Boxi Town!

If Lynn can wipe out Connelly Manor and Louis Manor in Alba Town.

Then the next to be wiped out could very well be the Benitez Manor in Boxi Town!

But they are different!

They are far from Morgan Town.

For Lynn to attack their manors, he would have to pass through or bypass Kakasong City.

Their hesitation arises from the ongoing summer plowing and planting!

Because once they deploy the guards and peasants from their manors.

Even if it only takes a week round trip, it would impact their agricultural production!

Most crucially.

The Lord Lynn of Morgan Town possesses a great number of armored cavalry!

Even though the Viscount also has many armored soldiers.

Together with the soldiers and peasants from their six manors.

Their combined numbers surpass Lynn’s.

But is it enough to annihilate Lynn based solely on numerical superiority?

They grew hesitant internally.

As Manor Lords, every move they make must consider their estate’s interest.

They do not wish to end up like Connelly sitting next to them.

A manor with generations of heritage, now wiped out!

Seeing the expressions of the Manor Lords, Jon Zuck understood their concerns.

Thump, thump, thump!

Jon Zuck drummed his right hand on the heavy table made of Hu Tao wood.

The deep sound resonated through the meeting room.

The pondering Manor Lords were drawn to the sound immediately.

Their eyes turned back to Jon Zuck at the main seat.

Jon Zuck spoke: "Lynn indeed has a great number of armored soldiers."

"But haven’t you all wondered, why does he have so many armored soldiers?"

The Manor Lords looked at Jon Zuck with puzzled eyes, waiting for an explanation.

"My Zak Clan has occupied Kakasong City for so long, boasting a glorious history following the battles of former Marquis Duca."

"Kakasong City, at the far edge of Marquisate of Dukas, is remote and poor, lacking industrial development; this is undisputed."

"But my Zak Clan relies on the city and Fisherman’s Wharf, collecting taxes from residents or traveling merchants."

"This is also a considerable fortune!"

"This is why lords waging wars love to conquer territories and control key routes."

The Manor Lords nodded in response.

They know well that controlling traffic routes ensures dominance.
