Lynn nodded.

He naturally knew that what Samuel referred to as small manor owners were similar to the Frank Manor in Morgan Town.

Samuel continued: "As a Lord, as a Viscount granted by the Ducas Clan."

"Jon Zack also responded."

"With soldiers from the city and a group of followers... totaling seven thousand soldiers, he set out on the path northward to aid."

"But, a month after Viscount Jon Zack and his soldiers left Kakasong City."

"He suddenly returned with his troops."

"The feeling was like..."

Lynn frowned, taking over Samuel’s words.

"As if he responded to the summons just to show up beside Mark Ducas."

"Then immediately returned with his soldiers to Kakasong City?"

Samuel replied: "Yes, Master Lynn, even though I’m not sure why, that’s exactly the feeling I have."

Lynn fell silent, contemplating.

If.

Mark Ducas merely intended to save Jon Zack’s forces.

Enhancing control over the Southern Border, that would be understandable.

But if saving forces is to attack his territory.

Then he has to be mentally prepared in advance.

After all, as the Knight Commander of the Ducas Clan, Godfrey already knows of his existence and has arrived at his territory!

Although after Godfrey left his territory, the Sword and Shield Corps stationed in Morgan Town did not attack his domain.

Or perhaps, through negotiations, draw a portion of the profits from the open-pit salt mine.

Even if Godfrey temporarily does not know his true identity.

There is still a certain degree of risk to the security of his territory.

Lynn nodded, "Captain Samuel, besides this, do you know any other information?"

"For example, the defense map of Kakasong City, patrol times, and all supporters of Viscount Jon Zack?"

Even though he already assigned Gasper to arrange spies around various small towns near Kakasong City.

They can completely learn from Samuel in advance while the spies are exploring.

Afterward, compare the two sources of information.

To obtain the most accurate intelligence.

Samuel responded: "Master Lynn, I certainly know the defense map of Kakasong City."

Lynn’s eyes fixed on Samuel, waiting for his continued words.

Samuel continued: "However, due to Jon Zack’s heightened vigilance, the defense and patrol arrangements of Kakasong City change periodically."

"I need to return to Kakasong City, compare references, and then provide you with the accurate defense map."

"Master Lynn, you’ll need to wait a bit."

Lynn nodded: "Certainly."

Hearing Lynn’s affirmative response, Samuel felt slightly relieved and continued.

"As for Jon Zack’s supporters, they have certain military strength... A total of eight individuals."

"They are Zock Connally and Neil Lewis, manor owners in Alba Town..."

"Benito Hammond and Benjamin Edward, manor owners in Rasio Town..."

"..."

Listening to Samuel’s detailed narration.

Lynn’s heart couldn’t help but reveal a sense of admiration.

He merely casually conversed with Samuel.

The information obtained already surpassed what Gasper uncovered in Kakasong City.

Indeed.

The higher the status and position, the more information one can ascertain!

Fortunately.

Samuel had already agreed to continue gathering information for him in the future!

With Samuel as his ears in Kakasong City.

He could naturally learn about events occurring outside his territory first-hand.

After listening to Samuel’s narration, Lynn had a relatively clear understanding of the armed forces Viscount Jon Zack had.

Jon Zack along with eight supporters from surrounding towns possess seven thousand soldiers.

Jon Zack personally holds a soldier count exceeding two thousand.

One thousand fully armored soldiers, and one thousand in cloth or leather armor.

Which corresponded closely with the reports from Gasper’s inquiries.

The remaining five thousand soldiers come from Jon Zack’s supporters.

After narrating for several minutes, Samuel paused.

He summarized: "Master Lynn, that’s all I know about Viscount Jon Zack."

"If you want more detailed information, you can wait for me to return to Kakasong City for further exploration."

Lynn nodded: "Thank you, Captain Samuel."

"The information you shared is very valuable to me."

Samuel humbly bowed: "Master Lynn, you’re too kind."

"Helping Master Lynn is Samuel’s honor."

"Besides, Master Lynn has given us sufficient rewards!"

"Because, if Master Lynn wants, with a small expenditure of Gold Pounds, you could obtain part of the information I’ve shared."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound, indicating response.

Part of what Samuel referred to naturally included the defense map of Kakasong City.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries.

Samuel bowed again and bid farewell to Lynn.

Samuel took four soldiers to the nearby warhorses stationed behind.

Under Lynn’s gaze, the five of them mounted the horses.

With a flick of the reins and the sound of the galloping horses, Samuel led the four Church Guards away from the Lord’s Square.
