System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 761 - 253: Direct Execution (10,000 Words)
Some timid soldiers felt Janet’s gaze and hastily diverted their eyes.
They dared not meet her eyes.
After scanning around, Janet opened her mouth and said to the soldiers in a deep voice.
"I know you all have your doubts."
"It is clearly late at night, so why have you been awakened and gathered from your sleep?"
The soldiers made no response, but they couldn’t help nodding.
After a day of physical training, they were already exhausted.
They needed rest for recovery.
Transforming her words, Janet called out loudly.
"That’s because Frank Manor is facing a life-and-death crisis!"
"I need to inform you that Morgan Town is currently under enemy attack!"
"I know many of you are from Morgan Town."
"If we don’t aid the Blade Wind Corps in Morgan Town."
"The enemy’s next target will be Frank Manor!"
The soldiers’ eyes widened, their breath involuntarily held.
Janet’s voice grew louder and more passionate.
"Therefore."
"For Morgan Town, and for Frank Manor."
"I, Janet Frank, need you to set out right now for Morgan Town to provide aid!"
"Who is willing to join me? To aid Morgan Town?"
Listening to Janet’s final words, the soldiers’ faces were full of surprise.
They were shocked that Janet, both Manor Lord and a woman, would personally go to the battlefield?
Apparently, they were infected by Janet’s words.
A few soldiers raised their longswords and responded vocally.
"Yes!"
"Yes..."
The abrupt voices appeared and then quickly vanished.
The soldiers who spoke up bowed their heads awkwardly under the gaze of their peers.
In the next moment.
With uniform loud responses, echoes resonated in Frank Manor Castle.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Seeing the soldiers exultantly raise their weapons, seeing their excited faces.
Janet’s previously tense heart slightly relaxed.
She loosened her sweaty right hand and turned to Joao.
"Uncle Joao, it’s up to you next!"
Joao quickly replied, "Of course."
"Joao will definitely not betray your trust, Janet."
Janet nodded and said no more.
Joao took two steps forward, drew his two-handed greatsword from his waist, and shouted to the soldiers.
"Set out!"
With Joao’s order.
Under the leadership of the captains, the soldiers orderly moved towards the exit of the Manor Castle.
Clang~ Clang~
With a series of chain-loosening sounds, the huge drawbridge slowly lowered.
Bang!
At last.
The heavy drawbridge fell to the ground with a loud crash.
The soldiers either rode on horseback.
Or marched in orderly steps over the drawbridge.
They held torches and walked on the gravel road, heading into the darkness ahead.
At the front of the troops.
Were the heavy cavalry wearing chain armor and riding horses.
Listening to the constant echo of footsteps, the sound of chain armor clashing, and looking into the darkness ahead.
Janet’s face was full of seriousness.
Joao, riding on horseback, glanced at Janet.
He comforted her, "Janet, there’s no need to be overly tense."
"Marching at night has always been like this."
"While our vision is limited, the enemy can’t see beyond a few hundred meters either."
"Even if the enemy’s heavy cavalry wishes to launch a surprise attack, they need sufficient distance for the horses to gallop and accelerate."
"At that time, we can clearly hear sounds and organize defensive formations!"
Janet nodded in response.
"And, I’ve already sent scouts ahead to Morgan Town to gather intelligence."
"You can rest assured."
"Besides, even if unexpected things happen, I will spare no effort to protect you comprehensively!"
Despite Joao’s assurances.
Her heart was still filled with tension.
The distance between Frank Manor and Morgan Town was only a few miles.
As the soldiers continued advancing.
They watched the flames that were coloring the sky in red-orange tones.
The burning smell in the air became increasingly noticeable and pungent.
Even strands of light gray ashes landed on their cheeks.
Whether it was the soldiers or Janet and Joao.
They knew.
They were getting closer to Morgan Town!
As the troops gradually approached.
Joao, Janet, and the others on horseback.
Could now see the silhouette of Morgan Town from afar.
Under the night sky.
Buildings stood in dark shapes ahead of them.
Perhaps because someone in the town was organizing firefighting.
The raging flames were already reducing.
The sky returned to a pitch dark.
Looking at the peaceful Morgan Town from afar, there was no chaotic scene of widespread warfare.
Both Joao and Janet felt relieved.
As long as Lynn doesn’t lead an army to Morgan Town.
Then they still have the opportunity to employ Free People and strengthen military power in Frank Manor!
While cutting off the supply line entering Lynn Territory!
Without merchants from beyond the territory exchanging goods.
Just relying on three mines, how fast can Lynn’s development speed truly be?
