Chapter 1049 - 301: The Second Battle of Spirit Reef Port (10,000) (2)
Rose nodded and answered, "Yes, master."
Lynn responded, withdrew his gaze, turned around, and left.
Life in the Manor Castle was naturally inferior to that in his own territory.
The cooks in the canteen specialized in Cooking and Production of food.
The Red Brick House used for living.
However.
Judging from the two meals provided, the superior living conditions on display.
If these laborers still thought of running, Lynn did not mind cutting them down on the spot!
Striding forward, Lynn climbed the wall stairway and stood still at a gap in the battlements.
Lynn gazed into the distance.
A galloping horseman was charging over from distant Morgan Town toward the Manor Castle.
The horse’s Speed was very fast.
Where it passed, sand and gravel flew.
A long trail of grey dust drifted up.
With a thought, Lynn opened the [Holographic Map] and looked over.
Perhaps it was because he had assigned the laborers and begun harvesting and labor operations in Morgan Town.
Or perhaps because he had dispatched a large number of soldiers to the Manor Castle.
On the [Holographic Map].
The projection that originally showed only his territory—the weedy wasteland outside the walls where two Outpost Fortresses and watchtowers had been built—now unlocked the full map view of all Morgan Town.
Now, even while residing within the castle.
He could take everything happening in Morgan Town into his eyes and scheme from afar.
The most urgent task right now.
Was to train the Pigeons currently undergoing empowered Breeding in the [Pigeon Nest]!
Even if he could, from within the castle, arrange various affairs and issue all kinds of orders.
He still needed a tool for timely information transmission.
To deliver arrangements and commands into the hands of the executors.
On the [Holographic Map] before Lynn’s eyes.
Gasper, riding on horseback, was constantly swinging the whip in his hand, urging the horse to gallop faster.
Perhaps because of the long ride and run from Kakasong City back to Morgan Town.
Both Gasper and the horse were panting heavily.
Combined with the look filling Gasper’s face.
Obviously.
Gasper had dug up important intelligence in Kakasong City!
Lynn did not leave, but stood atop the wall waiting.
A few minutes later.
Gasper rode his horse through the main gate of the Manor Castle.
Amid the sounds of hurried steps clattering up the stairs, Gasper came up onto the wall.
While riding, Gasper had already seen the Lord standing on the wall.
His steps did not pause; he walked straight ahead and stopped a few meters behind Lynn.
Bending at the waist in salute, Gasper spoke respectfully, "My Lord!"
Lynn turned, meeting the heaving chest and labored breathing of Gasper, and answered.
"Do you have some urgent report to deliver?"
Gasper replied.
"Yes, my Lord! Gasper has obtained extremely important intelligence and needs to report it to you."
Lynn nodded. "Speak directly."
Gasper exhaled a few hot breaths, then continued.
"At dawn today, six wagon teams entered Kakasong City."
"Through observation and probing, they were precisely the supporting Manor Lords of Viscount Jon Zuck."
Lynn’s expression remained calm, not the least bit surprised.
Whether because Zock Connally had managed to escape by luck and gone to Kakasong City.
Or because other Manor Lords, traveling merchants, or residents in Alba Town had spread word of the two Manors being wiped out.
Jon Zuck would find out sooner or later.
It was just a bit faster than Lynn had imagined.
Seeing the Lord remain silent, Gasper went on.
"The six Manor Lords who entered the Viscount’s Castle did not come out until late at night."
"As for their purpose in the Viscount’s Castle, that is still unknown for the time being."
"We need agents who can infiltrate the town to conduct deeper reconnaissance..."
Lynn nodded slightly.
Six Manor Lords rushing overnight to Kakasong City and entering the Viscount’s Castle.
Even without detailed intelligence, Lynn could make a simple guess and deduction.
Naturally, it was related to his extermination of Alba Town.
Related to rallying the supporter Manor Lords’ soldiers to launch an attack on Morgan Town!
As for when the offensive would begin...
If those Manor Lords took wagons from Kakasong City back to their respective Manors, then mustered their Guards and Peasants, then marched back to Kakasong City to assemble.
And finally, brought a large-scale force to Morgan Town...
The time required for all that would be at least eight to ten days!
And that was only the time needed for a normal march.
If the force included large engineering equipment, moving along muddy roads full of gravel...
The marching time would at least double!
Relying entirely on foot power and draft animals for transportation, the cost of launching a large-scale war was simply enormous.
Time, grain, manpower, material resources, and so on!
Compared to Jon Zuck gathering these Manor Lords.
What surprised Lynn more was.
These Manor Lords were actually willing, at the critical juncture of Agriculture production and Planting, to respond to Jon Zuck’s call.
Setting aside the eventual outcome of this campaign.
Just the marching back and forth, taking half a month to twenty days.
Was enough to affect the Planting in the fields of the Manor Lords!
One had to know.
Agriculture production and Construction were the very foundation of survival and development for Manor Lords!
With so much time.
Lynn could even consider leveraging the high mobility and flexibility of his cavalry.
To wipe out a few more supporter Manor Lords of Viscount Jon Zuck!
Lynn looked straight at Gasper and asked.
"Is there any other intelligence that needs to be reported?"
