"Under repeated sieges, three thousand soldiers were eventually too exhausted to guard due to prolonged fighting, and Pan Yan City was breached."

"Moreover, they relied on their steel and iron bodies to annihilate nearly two thousand of Chronos’s men!"

"Therefore, even as defeated, they were still called the Pan Rock Iron Guard!"

After listening to Grayson’s narration, Lynn nodded approvingly.

Despite such a massive difference in soldier numbers, they managed to defend the city wall for a week.

Even if they were ultimately defeated and the walls were breached, it was enough for them to be proud.

Lynn’s thoughts moved as he casually opened the personal information panel of a burly middle-aged man.

[Name]: Chris Keck

[Age]: 30 years old

[Ability]: Hunting Level 3, Planting Level 2, Construction Level 2

[Seven Skills of the Knight]: Hunting Level 3, Horse Riding Level 2, Swordsmanship Level 2

[Attributes]: Attack D-, Defense D, Speed E-, Constitution D, Energy E-

[Talent]: None

[Skills]: None

...

On the panel, there were no [Talent] or [Skills].

His gaze shifted, Lynn looked at another burly man.

[Name]: Samuel Coolidge

[Age]: 29 years old

[Ability]: Hunting Level 3, Production Level 2, Construction Level 2

[Seven Skills of the Knight]: Hunting Level 2, Horse Riding Level 2, Swordsmanship Level 2

[Attributes]: Attack E+, Defense D, Speed E, Constitution D, Energy E-

[Talent]: None

[Skills]: None

...

Similarly, there were no [Talent] or [Skills].

Lynn again looked at another burly man...

After examining five or six men, he noticed the differences in these burly men.

Even though they lacked [Talent] and [Skills].

They possessed surprising [Attributes]!

Especially in [Defense] and [Constitution], nearly all had D-level or above!

If it were only a few, that would be acceptable.

Nearly all the attribute panels he opened were like this!

That was quite unusual!

Understandably.

Even Red, who had been given a [Special Promotion Book] and began merging.

His constitution was just D-level!

Clearly.

These soldiers called the Pan Rock Iron Guard had their unique physical training methods!

Grayson replied with a smile: "Master Lynn, what do you think of these eight hundred war prisoners?"

"If you’re worried, this trade can be canceled."

Lynn raised his brows, looking at Godfrey and said.

"Cancel? Mr. Grayson has overthought."

"I happen to need a batch of townsmen with combat abilities!"

"Name your price!"

Compared to those weak-bodied peasants who could only be temporarily used for labor.

He naturally preferred to trade for these war prisoners with strong combat abilities in front of him!

Grayson, hearing this, felt a slight relief from his tense heart.

He was afraid Master Lynn would not dare to engage in trade after hearing these prisoners’ stories!

Eight hundred war prisoners who have experienced battle, if they were to revolt, it would be devastating for some manor lords or minor lords!

Because they don’t have a sufficiently strong armed force to suppress these prisoners.

With the armed soldiers Master Lynn currently possesses, he surely wouldn’t fear the uprisings of these prisoners.

Nonetheless.

Even if Master Lynn ultimately refuses to trade.

He has to make sure to explain the origin of these prisoners in advance.

He doesn’t want to affect the development of Master Lynn’s territory because of these eight hundred soldiers sent over!

Grayson replied with a smile: "Master Lynn, that’s best."

"The war prisoners’ physical quality and abilities are far above ordinary peasants, so their price will be much higher..."

Seeing Master Lynn’s expectant gaze, he wasted no more words.

"Master Lynn, each of these prisoners costs seven shillings."

Lynn nodded, "A very reasonable price!"

The price of seven shillings was the same as the batch of Shar Khanate slaves Grayson had previously transported from Rose.

Shar Khanate slaves, due to their burly physique, had almost all been selected and recruited as soldiers.

In previous battles, they indeed demonstrated abilities far superior to ordinary soldiers.

Even if the Shar Khanate slaves’ abilities are average.

Just Rose, a former deputy commander who can train new soldiers for him, makes him feel that the total price of all slaves is worth it!

The number of people is very important.

But talents with abilities are even more crucial!

Lynn’s thoughts were calculating the price of the prisoners.

"Eight hundred war prisoners, seven shillings each, is two hundred and eighty Gold Pounds."

"Fifty thousand pounds of barley, the current market price is two pounds per penny, which is one hundred and four Gold Pounds."

"A total of four hundred and twenty Gold Pounds!"

Upon hearing the number of Gold Pounds, Grayson’s face showed joy.

He quickly followed up on Lynn’s words.

"Master Lynn, four hundred and twenty Gold Pounds, exchanged for two hundred and ten glazed glass items."

"I’ll use an additional five hundred and eighty Gold Pounds to purchase two hundred and ninety glazed glass items."

Lynn nodded, "No problem, Mr. Grayson."

"The interval of your visits to my territory has become increasingly longer."

"The glazed glass products piled up in my Glass Workshop are growing ever more numerous."

"Still waiting for Mr. Grayson to conduct this exchange."

Grayson, hearing this, showed an embarrassed look.

He said with some difficulty: "Master Lynn, perhaps you should also know."

"The war of Imperial Authority in the Karedi Empire has fully commenced."

"Many merchants, fearing the involvement in war, have chosen to abandon entering the Karedi Empire."

"Some ports have even become used by lords for transporting troops..."
