System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1044 - 300: The Downfall of Lynn’s Territory (Part 1)

No one dared to meet Jon Zuck’s gaze.

Although the meeting room was crowded, it was silent.

One could even hear the hurried breaths of a manor lord, nervous to the extreme.

Half a minute passed.

Jon Zuck finally spoke: "Since none of you manor lords wish to leave, please take your seats."

"I need to discuss with all of you once more how to handle the matter concerning Morgan Town’s Lord Lynn!"

Upon hearing Jon Zuck’s words, a group of manor lords let out a sigh of relief.

If a few words of conversation had angered and offended Jon Zuck, the manor lord.

Their manors would undoubtedly face ostracism in the future...

None of the manor lords dared waste any words and promptly sat down.

Watching the seven manor lords settle into their wooden chairs, Jon Zuck then spoke.

"I imagine you all have heard the intelligence regarding Alba Town from elsewhere, haven’t you?"

All the manor lords nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Alba Town is not the closest small town to Kakasong City.

But due to its stable grain production.

Many traveling merchants would go to Alba Town to purchase grain or other agricultural products.

These merchants are the most crucial information carriers across Kakasong City and the small towns.

Three days have passed.

They know about the destruction of Connally Manor and Louis Manor in Alba Town, which was not difficult news to grasp.

Jon Zuck continued: "Since you have heard, that is excellent."

"Next, I will have Zock Connally Manor Lord report the entire process of Connally Manor’s destruction!"

The manor lords raised their eyebrows instantly, shifting their gaze to the figure of Zock seated on the wooden chair.

Connally Manor was destroyed, yet Zock, the manor lord, appeared at the Viscount’s Castle.

Naturally, they would be curious and astonished.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Zock stood up in haste.

After nodding slightly to Jon Zuck, he addressed the group of manor lords.

"I know some of you are puzzled as to why I survived when Connally Manor was destroyed."

Seeing no response, Zock continued self-assuredly.

"Because before Lynn dispatched his army to invade Connelly Manor, I left in a carriage ahead of time."

"Perhaps you might think I’m Zock Connally, someone who fears death."

"But I want to tell you that my retreat was not just for myself!"

"If I hadn’t retreated, Viscount would not have been able to immediately know about Lynn’s military strength!"

"He couldn’t have instantly gathered you all to discuss our subsequent strategies!"

"For Lynn dared to send troops to destroy my Connally Manor and Louis Manor."

"He would equally have the courage to send soldiers to Bo Xi Town, Rasio Town, and even Pulder Town..."

"And wipe out your manors one by one!"

Even though Jon Zuck Viscount and the manor lords knew he fled the manor to save his own life.

Zock still must justify his escape with grand reasons!

Even now, though he is a manor lord whose manor was destroyed.

He still possesses the undeniable power of a manor lord!

Moreover.

As long as Jon Zuck Viscount rallies all the supportive manor soldiers for an attack on Lynn.

He can completely reclaim Connally Manor!

Money, grain, labor force, and various goods.

Moreover.

To settle scores with those three manor lords in Alba Town who refused his request for military aid!

As long as he offers more loyalty to Jon Zuck Viscount.

Perhaps the entire Alba Town could become his territory!

Zock even feels.

This destruction of the manor is not only a crisis for the Connally Clan but an opportunity for transformation!

Listening to the powerful words of Zock Connally.

The surprise on the manor lords’ faces turned into a serious expression.

Zock continued: "Gentlemen, Lynn has already detected the crisis."

"And he has begun to launch counterattacks against us and the Viscount."

"Whether for ourselves or for the Viscount, we must respond immediately."

"Otherwise, soon enough, your manors will end up like Connally and Louis Manors—destroyed by Lynn!"

Upon hearing this, the manor lords’ brows furrowed deeply.

Despite Zock’s words sounding somewhat alarmist.

They understood.

The destruction of Connally Manor and Louis Manor by Lynn is an undeniable fact!

Seeing the manor lords still silent, Zock changed the subject.

"Next, I want to talk about the military forces Lord Lynn of Morgan Town possesses!"

The manor lords, previously deep in thought, immediately raised their heads, filled with curiosity, looking at Zock.

Zock spoke solemnly: "According to the intelligence personally gathered by my Guard Captain Walter and the information learned from traveling merchants in Alba Town."

"Lord Lynn of Morgan Town possesses at least three thousand soldiers!"

Upon hearing the number of soldiers from Zock’s mouth, the manor lords felt slightly relieved.

However.

Before they could take a breath, Zock continued.

"Three thousand soldiers clad in armor, fully armed!"

The manor lords’ eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

Unrestrained inquiries erupted from their mouths.
