System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 641 - 233: Facing the Enemy (10,000 Words) (Part 2)
It could easily wrap up the battlefield.
The armed soldiers he possesses now are limited!
Every soldier was nurtured at the cost of large quantities of grain and meat.
Even if this military aid dispatch can gain a lot of peasant labor forces,
he wouldn’t want any casualties among his soldiers!
If.
Tonight, the Three Great Estates do not jointly attack Frank Manor.
Leading the soldiers in advance will only expose the strength of his territory’s armed forces to others’ eyes.
Moreover, it would lose the effect of an ambush encirclement!
With Red following him, Lynn headed towards the master bedroom not far away.
He pushed open the door, entered, and removed the remaining clothes.
He lay comfortably on the bed.
Watching the ceiling glow under the flickering oil lamp light, Lynn gradually fell asleep.
...
Under the night sky.
The night wind blew gently.
In a field of lush greenery, the plants swayed up and down.
Emitting rustling noises.
And on the scattered stones between the fields, a dozen cavalry were galloping quickly.
At such a speed, sand and gravel flew wherever the hooves passed.
Until Joao saw a calm manor castle illuminated by lights in the darkness ahead. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
His heart slightly relaxed.
Fortunately, the Three Great Estates had not attacked yet.
Otherwise, without him stationed and commanding at Frank Manor and even with heavy cavalry, it would be hard to exert its power.
Passing through the fields.
Amid the clinking of loosening chains, Joao, leading the cavalry, entered Frank Manor Castle.
He dismounted, handing the reins to a nearby soldier.
Joao strode up the adjacent steps, eyes scanning while he entered the castle’s guest hall.
Upon entering.
On the lord’s throne facing the guest hall.
Janet, in black leather armor, entered Joao’s sight.
Joao walked forward, halting at the steps of the throne in front of Janet.
Before he could speak, Janet preemptively said, "Uncle, Lynn hasn’t dispatched troops immediately, has he?"
Joao, somewhat surprised, replied, "Yes, Janet."
Janet showed no sign of surprise on her face.
Not even Lynn.
Even in her position, standing in Lynn’s shoes,
facing another’s request, she wouldn’t rashly deploy troops even if she could agree!
What she could think of, Lynn could naturally think of too.
Joao, a bit embarrassed, continued, "Not only that, he even rebuked me."
Janet frowned, "Rebuked?"
"Uncle, you were merely following my instructions to request his immediate deployment."
"Why would he rebuke you?"
Joao, without hesitation, said, "He said, you are merely my superior; it’s normal for me to follow your instructions."
"However, he doesn’t need to follow your instructions at all."
"I questioned him whether he intends to breach the contract with you, Janet."
"He said there is never a contract between him and you, rather... rather you need him!"
Janet instantly fell into silence.
Despite Joao’s words being only fragments.
She could already guess something.
It must be, Joao’s words carried that habitual arrogance when dealing with Lynn.
Janet sighed inwardly, speaking to Joao, "I understand, Uncle."
"Next, you’ll have to arduously gather the soldiers and guards to defend the castle against the Three Great Estates’ attack!"
Joao promptly answered, "Yes."
Letting Joao step back.
Watching his retreating figure, Janet’s expression grew somber.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but curse in anger.
’Fool! Brawn over brains, courageous without wisdom, bold devoid of intelligence!’
Janet believed Lynn would dispatch troops for the peasants and property of the Three Great Estates.
But she also believed.
Lynn would choose to delay troop deployment because of Joao’s disrespectful words!
Afterward, even with Lynn’s military assistance, Frank Manor unifying Morgan Town,
Frank Manor’s military strength would also suffer serious losses!
As a result.
Frank Manor would need more time to expand its armed forces!
A sense of regret appeared in Janet’s mind.
If she had known earlier, she shouldn’t have let Joao go to Lynn’s territory!
No, that’s not right!
If she had known earlier.
She should have plotted more thoroughly, killing Jonas and Krueger alongside Joao!
Taking a deep breath to suppress her anger.
Janet’s mind pondered the upcoming strategies to deal with the attack.
She’s not very worried about the Three Great Estates’ assault.
With the castle as a defensive structure, holding fast, there surely will be no surprises.
What concerns her is the future direction of Morgan Town after the three estates are wiped out.
If because of this battle, Frank Manor’s military power remains unenhanced,
it may not be long.
Before facing Lynn leading a large army to invade Morgan.
By then, Frank Manor would struggle to resist!
But soon.
A countermeasure surfaced in her mind.
Thinking of this, Janet slightly relaxed her expression, exhaling a warm breath.
Her gaze looked out of the guest hall towards the sky outside the castle.
It was now already dawn.
As she was about to rise from the lord’s throne.
A thunderous rumbling sound reached her ears.
The sound grew closer and increasingly evident and vast.
Even the water glass on the table constantly trembled.
