Chapter 1051 - 301: The Second Battle of Spirit Reef Port (10,000) (Part 4)
After asking Gasper a few questions and confirming there was no other intelligence, Lynn directly dismissed him.
He watched as Gasper rode away from the Manor Castle, galloping into the distance.
Lynn’s mind started to ponder.
The lords involved in the Imperial Authority battle often possess tens of thousands of armored soldiers.
Of course, he couldn’t participate in that right now.
Moreover, if a Great Lord dispatched a large number of soldiers to attack his territory,
he would be utterly powerless to resist.
Rather than worry about these distant and unchangeable matters,
it’s better to think about how to deal with Viscount Jon Zuck and his supportive Manor Lords who are right in front of him!
Currently, Lynn has two decisions in mind.
The first is to prepare for action.
While sending out scouts to observe and alert at key points,
allow the armored soldiers in the Manor Castle to continue resting.
Adjust the soldiers who have recently marched and fought for two days and nights to their optimal state.
Waiting for Jon Zuck’s army to enter Morgan Town and launch an attack on the Manor Castle.
This advantage can leverage the defensive fortifications of the Manor Castle, conduct a solid defense, and thus reduce soldier casualties.
Where there is an advantage, there will be a disadvantage.
By fortifying the Manor Castle,
control over Morgan Town and a large area of farmland will be lost.
Jon Zuck can completely dig trenches, spike pits, produce chevaux-de-frise, and construct fortifications on large farmlands.
Or even lose the opportunity to attack first.
The second option is to take the initiative and strike!
According to his speculation, it wouldn’t be easy for Viscount Jon to gather all the supportive Manor Lords’ forces.
If they want to press forward with a massive army to Morgan Town, it would take at least about ten days.
Within these ten days, Rose Wesley can be dispatched with the cavalry army to the neighboring Boxi Town.
To devastate Jon Zuck’s two supportive Manor Lords in Boxi Town!
If more time is available, they could even proceed to further small towns.
To completely annihilate all supportive Manor Lords!
However,
he isn’t aware of the situation in Boxi Town.
Even if he has a squad of armored soldiers now,
if they fall into a siege by large groups of guards and peasants,
even with the protection of armor, they won’t face total annihilation, but there will be significant soldier casualties.
Recklessly deploying troops will only put his already limited number of soldiers in peril.
As Lynn ponders over this,
the sound of galloping hooves enters his ears.
His gaze turns, Lynn follows the source of the sound.
Outside the Manor Castle, amidst the vast farmland on the gravel and mud roads,
a light cavalry clad in composite armor gallops toward the Manor Castle.
The light cavalry crosses the farmland and enters the castle.
Within just a few minutes.
The light cavalry climbs up the stairs to the wall.
Seeing Lynn standing at the edge of the wall, the light cavalry doesn’t pause, and strides straight ahead.
In front of Lynn, the light cavalry bows respectfully and speaks.
"Lord, Master Earl intercepted a cart convoy filled with goods during our patrol."
"Master Earl ordered me to report to you for a decision."
Lynn asks, "Is it traveling merchants coming to Morgan Town for trade activities?"
The light cavalry explains, "Lord, they claim they are Manor Lords from Alba Town and wish to meet you."
Lynn frowns slightly, pauses for two seconds, then says,
"Inform Earl to bring them over."
"I will wait for them in the Manor Castle."
Receiving Lynn’s affirmative instruction, the light cavalry responds without hesitation, turns around, and leaves.
After a hurried sound of footsteps down the stairs.
The light cavalry rides away from the Manor Castle, galloping towards the distant farmland.
Lynn’s mind stirs as he opens the [Holographic Map] to examine.
His view rotates several times.
At the border between Morgan Town and Alba Town.
Under the protection of a team of chain armor guards.
A few carriages bearing different family crest emblems.
Six or seven carts laden with goods drawn by double horses.
Intercepted by Earl leading a squad of composite armor soldiers.
Not only that.
Patrol teams of ten-man composite armor soldier groups are assembling at the junction.
Within just a few minutes.
This cart convoy claiming to be from Alba Town Manor Lords is surrounded.
After observing for a few moments, Lynn closes the [Holographic Projection] panel in front of him and walks towards the Manor Castle behind him.
Red followed without asking any questions.
...
At the junction between Morgan Town and Alba Town.
The bloated man Brick Orlando sat inside the carriage compartment.
Through the carriage window, he watched soldiers outside riding horses, dressed in standard armor plates and armor.
The sound of horses pacing.
Brick’s heart is full of tension and fear.
After the armored soldiers of Lord Lynn annihilated Connelly Manor and Louis Manor.
Both he and Helena and Alex have already learned that Lord Lynn of Morgan Town has a large number of armored cavalry.
However, seeing it with his own eyes now, Brick still can’t suppress the tension within.
Because the armed cavalry with the metallic shine of dark gray,
gives him an overwhelming sense of oppression and visual impact that is simply too intense!
Brick finally understood why overnight, Connelly Manor was devastated, and Connelly Manor chose to surrender unconditionally.
