System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 861: Chapter 269: Sudden Death of the Emperor of the Empire (10,000 Words) (6)

One must know.

With Hunter from the Riverside Rest Tavern continually coming to his territory to purchase liquor.

A portion of the grain in the territory was invested into the brewing workshop.

Therefore.

The brewing workshop produced a lot of leftover distillers’ grains.

Apart from some used to make distiller’s grain cakes for the townspeople’s use.

Most of the distillers’ grains were used as feed for the poultry and livestock on the farm.

For omnivorous animals like wild boars, distillers’ grains mixed with some other tuber plants or peas, etc.

Is the best feeding material.

Perfect for fattening up the wild boar piglets.

After arranging things with Guy, Lynn was satisfied and returned to the town as the sky gradually darkened.

The five wild boar farms have been completed and put into use.

The next constructions would naturally be the Pigeon Nest and the Wolf’s Den.

However, with Jode leading the construction workers.

He didn’t have to worry too much.

At least, after this period of constructing the wild boar farms.

They have already gained considerable construction experience.

With the construction blueprints available, it wouldn’t be difficult for them.

The hardest part is.

The training of wild boars, pigeons, and wild wolves!

Apart from the recently arrived family of Old Simeon, who could train and breed warhorses.

He was still lacking trainers who could handle special wild animals.

If, by the time the wild boar empowerment and breeding are completed, he still hasn’t found suitable trainers.

He would have to try doing it himself.

Suppressing these thoughts, he traversed a large piece of farmland.

Lynn returned to Lord’s Square.

Just as he returned to Lord’s Square, a figure quickly approached him.

Lynn looked up to see that it was Gasper, the spy leader previously lurking in Morgan Town!

After the manor in Morgan Town was eradicated by him.

Gasper and his team were dispatched by him to Kakasong City to gather intelligence.

Because they never received proper training in intelligence gathering skills, their abilities were limited.

Therefore.

He did not have Gasper’s team establish an intelligence-gathering center at Hunter’s Riverside Rest Tavern.

Their abilities were more suited to mingling among various crowds to glean information.

Apparently.

Gasper had just returned from outside the territory.

He was panting heavily and was out of breath.

Gasper seemed to remember Lynn’s previous instructions.

He didn’t immediately begin to report but instead tried his best to calm his breathing and steady his heartbeat.

Lynn didn’t urge him, just quietly waiting.

A minute later.

When Gasper’s breathing had calmed, he began to speak: "Master Lynn, we’ve received accurate information!"

"The Emperor of the Karedi Empire, Charlemagne VI, was killed in his sleeping chamber, dying suddenly at dawn four days ago."

Gasper’s words didn’t stop, he continued: "The murderer who killed Charlemagne VI is... his second son, Caesar Carolin!"

Lynn’s brows instantly furrowed as he questioned Gasper for confirmation.

"Are you sure of the accuracy of the intelligence source?"

He had to understand.

The Karedi Empire now was in a highly sensitive period due to the struggle over Imperial Authority.

It was very possible rumors were being spread to gain some advantage.

Gasper hesitated not even for a moment, speaking firmly: "Master, the one who delivered the information is a court messenger..."

Lynn nodded without saying a word.

He was only slightly surprised by the murder of Charlemagne VI.

After all.

Charlemagne VI was the Emperor of the Karedi Empire!

An Emperor being murdered in his own sleeping chamber...

Rare, but not unheard of.

The most unimaginable part was.

The one who killed Charlemagne VI was Kai Caesar Carolin!

Compared to Mitchell, who once had the title of ’Spear of the Empire’.

Caesar, being the second son, was indeed much more obscure.

Nevertheless.

Lynn wouldn’t choose to underestimate this prince who seldom appeared in the public eye!

He must acknowledge.

Caesar Carolin was trusted and loyally followed by the Duke of Red Dragon, who had the strongest military power among the Three Great Dukes of the Karedi Empire.

That was a heavy cavalry corps that could make the entire Karedi Empire tremble!

Quickly.

A question arose in Lynn’s mind.

Though Caesar Carolin was a second son, he was deeply cherished by Charlemagne VI.

Even in his memories, he clearly recalled.

Charlemagne VI many times openly expressed his admiration for Caesar at banquets.

Lynn even felt that even with Mitchell, the eldest son present.

Charlemagne VI seemed prepared to pass the throne of the Karedi Empire to Caesar.

With the strong military support from the Duke of Red Dragon.

And the affection from the Emperor of the Empire.

What necessity did Caesar have to assassinate a ruler long in the twilight of life like Charlemagne VI?

Lynn was more inclined to believe that the one who killed Charlemagne VI in the sleeping chamber was ’Spear of the Empire’ Mitchell!

There must be some huge hidden truth behind this!

However.

The intelligence gathered so far was too limited, allowing him only to speculate this far.

Lynn continued questioning Gasper: "Is there any other intelligence?"

Gasper’s face showed embarrassment as he shook his head: "For now, that’s all, Master."

Lynn bore no blame, speaking: "Well done, you’ve delivered this intelligence back to the territory in a timely manner, now go and rest."

Gasper said no more, replying with a sound, and withdrew.

As he watched Gasper leave, Lynn’s mind was still pondering over the murder of Charlemagne VI.

The Karedi Empire might very well become embroiled in open conflict due to Charlemagne VI’s death.

Causing the simmering struggle for Imperial Authority to ignite directly into war!

Lynn had a vague premonition.

War was coming!

As Lynn mulled over things in his mind.

Under a golden sunset, a long convoy of carriages was approaching Lord’s Square.

Perhaps because he recognized the convoy, Alan, residing at the trade guild house, strutted quickly to Lord’s Square.

Seeing Lynn, Alan immediately approached.

A smile on his face as he said: "Lord, my carriage convoy has returned once again!"

"Having lived on your territory for so long, it seems it’s time to leave."

Lynn nodded, preparing to speak.

Alan’s Guard Commander swiftly dismounted and, with quick steps, approached Alan.

A harried expression and rapid pace.

Alan quickly surmised something.

After signaling to Lynn, he moved toward the Guard Commander.

The Guard Commander went up to Alan, recounting something in his ear...
