System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 907: Chapter 277: Wildfire (10,000) (Part 4)

Even though he arranged for Carlo to lead another team of spies and station them in Triumph City,

wanting to immediately send intelligence back to his territory after gathering it, still requires a long time.

Because Triumph City, located in the central region of the Karedi Empire,

is really too far from his territory in the Southern Border Land.

Although Lynn felt helpless, given the current conditions of his territory, there was nothing he could do.

Building an intelligence collection center is far from as simple as imagined.

The location for collecting and concentrating intelligence has been decided.

Kakasong City’s Fisherman’s Wharf, Hunter’s Riverside Rest Tavern.

The pigeons for intelligence transmission are available too.

However, professional trainers are needed to train these pigeons.

The core principle of pigeon post is to utilize the pigeon’s strong homing instinct.

They can rely on various means such as the magnetic field to identify directions and even remember their living environment,

ultimately finding their nest accurately.

But now,

the "Pigeon Nest" is still under construction, and the pigeons are still kept in cages.

In a short time, they cannot be used for pigeon post.

The core of intelligence gathering is still lacking personnel to collect intelligence.

So far,

he still hasn’t found suitable and capable personnel to lead the scouts and manage the intelligence collection center.

A strong intelligence collection center essentially is a human relationship network.

Silently spreading in the shadows, extending like silk threads to every corner, town, and village.

Each node requires an extremely crucial person.

They might be unemployed wanderers in the city, extracting fragmented information from daily conversations with others.

Or they might be advisers coming in and out of noble mansions, obtaining first-hand confidential decisions from high levels.

They may not know each other, and may have no connection.

Yet, they are tightly connected within this net.

All the gathered intelligence is continuously fed back to the center, delivered to him as the Lord.

In this way,

even if he is within his territory,

he can perceive the situation through intelligence and strategize calmly!

From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to establish a large intelligence collection center.

This is not something that can be achieved by the power of one person alone.

He needs a wide range of loyal supporters to join the intelligence collection center, this invisible net.

It can only be done step by step slowly.

As his thoughts turned, Lynn thought of Gasper’s report on the Ducas Clan’s attack on Spirit Reef Port.

Not only did Gasper not know whether Marquis Leo Polk is a supporter of Prince Caesar Carolinian,

but he also didn’t know either.

But he vaguely felt that

the Ducas Clan initiated war first.

It must have been instructed by Mark’s supporter, Prince Mitchell Carolinian!

And because Marquis Leo Polk is a supporter of Prince Caesar Carolinian’s faction!

Otherwise,

why would Mark dare to boldly deploy thirty thousand soldiers of the Sword and Shield Corps,

to attack another marquis’s occupied city during such a sensitive period?

The existence of a marquis itself means strong military power, political influence, economic influence, social and cultural influence!

As a marquis, controlling vast lands, a large amount of labor, and having several generations of fundamental accumulation.

Also possessing a large number of armed soldiers.

The Great Lord Nobility has their dignity and pride.

Who would be willing to see their territory and city invaded and silently endure it?

The war between two marquises implies a violent impact on the Empire’s situation and order.

There is even a huge possibility that it will trigger the already brewing imperial power war to fully erupt.

Becoming the fuse for the imperial power war to start!

The wars in the Karedi Empire are about to commence!

Lynn’s gaze looked beyond Lord’s Square.

The sunset was fiery red as if igniting the entire sky.

Flames like the spread of war engulfed the sky.

Seeing such a scene, Lynn’s expression slightly moved.

For ordinary people, war is the darkest hour.

With gunfire flying, homes turn to ruins, and families scattered.

They can only struggle to survive amidst hunger and fear.

For a lord with some military strength, it is a huge opportunity.

Lords can take advantage of such a situation to expand territories and augment power.

Seizing resources, consolidating populations, enhancing prestige, and harvesting more wealth from the collapse of the Empire’s order!

As a lord with nearly four thousand fully armed soldiers,

Lynn naturally also has ambition and desire!

If a suitable opportunity arises, he will unhesitatingly mobilize his army to seize wealth.

As for the target...

It is naturally the nearby towns around Morgan Town and Kakasong City.

The nearby towns are not to be mentioned.

Kakasong City alone has a population of forty or fifty thousand people!

That’s all labor force!

If he has the chance to seize both Kakasong City and the nearby towns entirely,

he can fully rely on Kakasong City’s wall as a defensive work.

Covering all the lands around Kakasong City to his territory.

Then using his developed cultivation tools, advanced planting technology, and high-yield crop seeds,
