System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1162 - 320: They Call You "Fire of Lorraine

Amidst the sounds of horses being reined in.

After the horses neighed repeatedly, they gradually stopped.

With agility, Gasper leaped off the horse and approached Lynn with a middle-aged man.

Upon reaching Lynn, Gasper and the middle-aged man bowed quickly and respectfully addressed him.

"Lord!"

Lynn glanced at Gasper and the middle-aged man and responded.

"What’s the urgent matter?"

Gasper quickly straightened up and began explaining to Lynn.

"My Lord, this is Balin Riley, one of my subordinates."

"He has brought you the latest intelligence on the Lorraine fire and Kakasong City!"

"He should have returned to Morgan Town in the morning."

"But because of the Lorraine fire blocking the road, he had to detour through Alba Town..."

Since last night, Lynn had instructed the Ignition Team to set the forest on fire for a burning forest attack.

Up to this point.

It’s only been a day and a half.

The subordinates of the scout team led by Gasper.

Knew to immediately detour through Alba Town.

Bringing back the latest intelligence to Morgan Town.

Clearly, it’s due to Gasper’s excellent guidance.

They know to at any cost bring back the latest intelligence.

Lynn quickly turned to the middle-aged man, Balin Riley.

He was in urgent need of intelligence from Kakasong City.

"Tell me, what is the intelligence?"

Hearing the Lord’s inquiry.

Balin bowed again and respectfully responded.

"My Lord, Jon Zuck led his army away from Kakasong City, marched into Lorraine, and then a fire broke out in Lorraine..."

"In one night, no one successfully retreated from Lorraine!"

Lynn’s eyebrows raised unconsciously.

With a hint of obvious delight in his tone.

"So, you’re saying Jon Zuck, along with the allied manor lords and Viscount Chambers’ soldiers, were all engulfed in the forest fire?"

Balin responded, "Most likely, Jon Zuck and his twelve-thousand-strong army were all consumed by the flames!"

Though Balin’s words seemed somewhat ambiguous.

But with the forest fire still not showing signs of extinguishing at this time.

No one has seen Jon Zuck’s army entirely burned firsthand.

Seeing is believing!

If Balin had insisted that Jon Zuck’s army was certainly consumed by the flames.

Lynn would find it even less credible.

With the high temperatures produced by the burning forest fire.

As long as Jon Zuck’s army couldn’t retreat from the forest, it’s almost impossible for them to survive.

The reason for wanting intelligence from Kakasong City.

Lynn merely wanted to confirm the final outcome.

Seeing that Lord Lynn had no further questions, Balin continued.

"My Lord, shortly after the Lorraine fire broke out, the Church Guard cavalry rushed to the Lorraine Entrance for rescue and garrison..."

"The notice of no survivors retreating from Lorraine came from the Church."

Lynn nodded in acknowledgment.

If Jon Zuck and his army were all lost in the forest fire.

Simo’s District Church is indeed the largest power in Kakasong City!

Not because the District Church has many armored soldiers.

But because Simo is backed by the Church’s support.

Furthermore, Church followers are spread throughout Kakasong City!

At this point, Balin’s words became somewhat hesitant.

"My Lord, there’s one more thing... Balin doesn’t know if he should say it..."

Lynn and the others looked at Balin with curiosity.

Lynn spoke, "Feel free to speak."

With Lynn’s affirmation, Balin continued.

"Because, my Lord, with one fire, you burned a large part of Lorraine’s forest, burying Jon Zuck’s twelve-thousand-strong army."

"Residents of Kakasong City are terrified of your actions and are calling you..."

"Fire of Lorraine!"

Standing by and listening, Gaspar was startled by Balin’s words.

Gasper quickly bowed and pleaded for Balin’s forgiveness.

"My Lord, Balin was somewhat indiscreet, please forgive him..."

Lynn murmured and said.

"Captain Gaspar, there’s no need to be nervous."

"I asked Balin to speak, so naturally, I won’t punish him."

Gaspar and Balin visibly relaxed.

It’s just that their Lord Master Lynn is magnanimous.

If it were another lord hearing such a title, they would surely be furious...

Lynn stared at Balin and continued to ask.

"Apart from this, what other intelligence do you need to report to me?"

Balin’s eyes moved, quickly thinking in his mind.

Two seconds later.

Balin spoke again.

"Last night, besides the Church Guard cavalry going to the Lorraine Entrance for garrison support."

"A large number of Church followers entered the Church to start chanting scriptures."

"While chanting and praying, the followers bought a large quantity of Certificates of Absolution from the Priest."

"To demonstrate their piety to God and desire to gain God’s protection."

"To avoid... avoid the threat of the Fire of Lorraine..."

At the last sentence, Balin couldn’t help but steal a glance at Lynn.

Fearing that the mention of the title ’Fire of Lorraine’ would incite Lord Lynn’s anger.

Seeing that Lord Lynn’s expression remained calm.

Balin’s hanging heart finally settled.

Listening to Balin’s account, Lynn nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Twelve thousand troops entered the forest and perished in the fire.
