Chapter 1126: Chapter 314: Attack on Morgan Town, Annihilate Lynn (10,000)

Werner turned back for a glance, once again confirming there were no figures behind them.

"Let’s not talk about the mining revenue in Morgan Town."

"I suspect that even if we conquer and annihilate Morgan Town, Jon Zack won’t distribute any mining revenue to us."

"Instead of having our manor’s guards and peasants suffer large-scale casualties, causing significant loss to the manor,"

"we might as well bring just a few hundred guards and peasants, to put on a show!"

From Mateo’s eyes emerged a look of approval as he spoke.

"Exactly, cut losses in time!"

"Haha, great minds think alike."

Werner slightly raised his eyebrows and spoke calmly.

"Mateo Manor Lord overpraises us, we’re nothing but some selfish and self-interested small manor lords."

"Our thoughts are merely limited to the three acres of land in the manor, naturally different from those big figures like the Viscount."

"However, I suspect that perhaps other manor lords will be just like us, bringing just a few hundred guards and peasants to respond to the summons in Kakasong City."

"At that time, be ready to bear the Viscount’s wrath..."

Mateo was not afraid at all, instead he wore a smile.

"Even if he gets angry, what can he do?"

"Can the Viscount possibly annihilate all of us supporting manor lords?"

"Without us managing the manor’s farmland and conducting agricultural production, who else can pay the 30% estate tax for the Viscount?"

"The Viscount can’t personally go to every small town to conduct agricultural production, can he?"

Werner nodded in agreement, just about to say something.

Messy footsteps sounded outside the Viscount’s castle.

Werner and Mateo subconsciously turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

Seeing.

As the distant doors of the Viscount’s castle opened.

A team of dusty guards and peasants in linen robes lined up entering the open square area.

Werner and Mateo’s gaze swept around, eyes showing surprise.

Just from a glance.

Werner and Mateo could tell.

This team of guards and peasants numbered around three thousand!

At the very front of the guard and peasant team stood a burly middle-aged man!

Werner couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

"The McKinley Manor of Boxi Town is truly the Viscount’s capable retainer!"

"To respond this time, they’ve actually assembled so many guards and peasants?"

Standing by the side, Mateo squinted slightly, speaking with a playful tone.

"That’s of course!"

"Not long ago, with the help of the Viscount, McKinley Manor and Benitez Manor annihilated and occupied the other manors of Boxi Town."

"Becoming the only two manor lords in Boxi Town, occupying vast tracts of land!"

"And three days ago, Lord Lynn from Morgan Town even dispatched armored cavalry to annihilate Benitez Manor."

"Although Lord Lynn took away all the property from Benitez Manor,"

"still leaving McKinley Manor with vast tracts of land."

"Meaning that now, Bruce McKinley is the only manor lord in Boxi Town."

"One person occupying tens of thousands of acres of land in Boxi Town!"

"Bruce McKinley naturally has to spare no effort to please the Viscount, in order to completely control so much land..."

Werner nodded.

Gazing at Bruce McKinley in the distance, his eyes revealed a noticeable trace of envy.

The entire town had only McKinley’s manor, meaning monopoly over the entire town!

Whether it be land, labor force, or control over roads...

These are all money!

How could Werner, also a manor lord, not be envious?

...

Until three days later.

In the conference room of the Viscount’s castle.

One shadow after another sat properly on wooden chairs beside the walnut table.

Even though it was daytime, beams of light shone through the wide open windows, falling onto the ground.

Oil lamps were still burning on the conference room walls.

Moreover, swaying under the caress of the breeze entering the room, emitting amber light.

However.

Compared to the previously crowded figures seated around the walnut table.

Now, it appeared somewhat empty...

The five supporter manor lords from various towns bore expressions of indescribable complexity and strangeness.

Whether tense, expectant, panicked, or impatient...

They were naturally aware.

The three empty manor lord chairs had already been annihilated by the armored soldiers dispatched by Lord Lynn of Morgan Town!

A few minutes later.

A low footstep echoed from the corridor outside the conference room.

The five supporter manor lords swiftly restrained their expressions and turned their heads.

Upon seeing those entering the conference room were Viscount Jon Zack and Knight Commander Ack.

They immediately stood from their chairs, bowing to Jon Zack, respectfully addressing in unison.

"Viscount."

Jon Zack merely glanced at them casually, without any response.

Pacing past the walkway beyond the manor lords, to the head of the walnut desk.

Jon Zack sat down at the head unceremoniously before addressing the five manor lords in a deep voice.

"No need for formalities, sit."

Feeling the coldness in Jon Zack’s tone.

Bruce and the other five manor lords didn’t dare hesitate.

Voicing gratitude in response, they straightened and sat upright on their wooden chairs, waiting for Jon Zack to speak.
