Chapter 637: Chapter 232: Request Him to Dispatch Troops Immediately (10,000 Words)

Not only the enemies.

The flood disaster could also invade his territory from the Aladia River.

He had to know.

His territory was originally an alluvial plain formed by river water carrying river stones.

If a prolonged heavy rain occurs in the upper region of the Aladia River,

it’s very likely that a flood disaster would occur, submerging his territory!

The barley, potatoes, and various crops planted on the soil surface,

could very likely be washed away by the flood!

Even if not washed away, the crops flooded for a long time would cause the air in the soil to be squeezed out,

the roots wouldn’t be able to breathe properly, leading to oxygen deprivation, and eventually the plants would die!

The loss caused by this is not something the territory can bear.

Despite having the [Disaster Warning] feature, that only serves as a reminder.

He needed more labor force in the territory to carry out flood prevention and defense constructions!

Lynn even felt.

Simply relying on the few hundred slaves Grayson transported each time could no longer meet the labor needs of his territory.

Especially for large-scale constructions within the territory.

For example, he previously wanted to lay wooden tracks in the territory and now wants to build flood prevention defenses, among other things.

More labor force must be obtained quickly!

Thoughts rotated in Lynn’s mind.

He thought of Morgan Town and the Manor Lords there.

The last time he captured Morrison Manor, he gained eighteen hundred peasant servants and two hundred captives!

Although he lost dozens of soldiers, the gains were clearly significant.

While Lynn pondered.

The sound of quick steps drew nearer.

Lynn turned his head to look, it was Gasper, the spy captain of Morgan Town.

With prior experience, Gasper no longer needed Lynn’s reminder.

He stopped a few meters away from Lynn, beginning to calm his somewhat rapid breathing.

A minute later.

Gasper spoke respectfully, "Master, I have intelligence to report."

Lynn said, "Speak."

Gasper didn’t hesitate and directly said, "Master, Lawrence Ducas left Morgan Town at dusk yesterday."

"He was escorted away by a team of cavalry wearing standard plate armor."

Lynn asked in confusion, "Escorted away?"

Gasper explained, "Yes, Master."

"That team of cavalry came from Kakasong City."

Lynn asked, "Any other information?"

Gasper recalled in his mind.

Soon, he continued, "Oh right, Master, there’s something else."

"Yesterday, the guards at Frank Manor and the guards at Will Manor had a dispute."

"It even escalated into a brawl, with one guard from Will Manor having his left hand chopped off..."

"In the end, it was Joao Frank who brought a group of soldiers to Morgan Town that dispersed both parties."

"Master, that’s all the intelligence we have at the moment."

Lynn nodded, signaling to dismiss Gasper.

His mind began to contemplate once more.

Since Lawrence has left Morgan Town, it is bound to enter a period of reshuffling soon.

He felt it wouldn’t be long before he received a letter from Janet.

A letter requesting him to send troops to attack!

...

At the other end.

In the wide room of Barnaby Manor,

Barnaby lay on the bed, panting heavily.

Barnaby couldn’t help but curse silently, ’Damn it! Can’t I just rest for a moment?’

He had just opened his mouth to speak when there was a knock on the wooden door outside the room.

Knock-knock~

Barnaby’s eyes shifted towards the door.

No need to inquire, his guard’s reminder came from outside.

"Master, the Lord of Theodore Manor has arrived at the manor, waiting for you in the reception hall."

Listening to the guard’s voice, Barnaby frowned slightly, seemingly thinking of something.

Barnaby called out to the guard outside the room, "Tell Theodore I’ll be right there."

The guard outside replied, "Yes, Master."

Listening to the fading footsteps of the guard.

With the reluctant and sultry sounds of three young women from Kusete, Barnaby stood up.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"I have important matters to attend to, quickly help me dress!"

"Once I’ve handled the matters, see how I deal with you obediently!"

With the help of the three women dressing him,

Barnaby walked towards the room’s door, speaking boastfully, "None of you are allowed to go anywhere, stay here and wait for me!"

As the three women watched, Barnaby exited the room.

Holding onto the wooden handrail by the stairs, he arrived at the reception hall on the first floor.

Barnaby’s gaze turned forward.

There.

The plump and rounded Theodore was already waiting.

Facing the stairs up and down, Theodore naturally saw Barnaby.

He quickly approached Barnaby.

Theodore spoke with some excitement and urgency, "Barnaby Manor Lord, good news!"

Seeing Theodore’s unusual expression, Barnaby raised an eyebrow.

"What good news? It even requires you to deliver it personally?"

Theodore affirmed, "Such great news, naturally I had to deliver it to you myself."

"Lawrence has left Morgan Town."

"According to the information I received, he was personally escorted back by the Defense Commander of Marquis Mark Ducas!"

Barnaby was a bit surprised, "Mark Ducas?"

"If I remember correctly, Mark and Lawrence aren’t biological brothers, are they?"
