As carriages continuously rolled in behind the castle walls, a group of cavalry rushed in swiftly from the distant rear.

Lynn, who had already entered and was standing atop the castle walls, raised an eyebrow.

He watched as the group of cavalry galloped toward them.

Standing behind him, Red reminded, "Lord, it's Instructor Ross!"

Lynn acknowledged with a nod.

A few minutes later.

Ross, leading the light cavalry, entered through the castle gates, pulling the reins sharply to halt his warhorse.

He agilely leaped off the horse and strode toward Lynn, who was descending from the wall.

He approached Lynn.

Ross bent down and handed over a blood-stained bag, deftly opening it with a flick of his fingers.

A head full of fat appeared before the eyes of Lynn and the others.

Despite the fresh blood on the head, Lynn and Red recognized it at a glance.

It was Aiden Morrison, who had previously taunted him.

Ross, slightly breathless, said, "Master, mission accomplished!"

Lynn nodded with satisfaction, "Very well done."

Ross dared not take any credit, "Master, it was my duty."

Lynn acknowledged and said no more, turning instead to the peasants and captives brought back.

With Ross intercepting Aiden before he could reach Viscount Chambers' Wind Hill, it was indeed for the best.

By killing Aiden, there was plenty of time to handle this batch of goods and labor force.

They could be employed in the upcoming spring planting and sowing.

If the interception had failed, Lynn would have been powerless.

He would have had to continually develop the territory's armed forces, build fortifications, gather intelligence, and await the enemy's arrival.

As for the consequences of invading Morrison Territory and killing Aiden...

Lynn had certainly considered it.

Initially, he intended to have Ackman, the Chief Attendant, start a rebellion!

Under the guise of suppression and protection, he would suppress the rebellious followers and seize everything on Aiden's territory.

But Ackman failed.

He did not bring the unexpected joy.

Lynn didn't mind.

At least, in the end, the plunder was successful!

In the impending struggle for imperial authority or the upcoming war for grain shortage.

His territory was bound to be swept up in it sooner or later!

Standing at the front of the two thousand slaves and captives, Lynn took a deep breath and called out.

"I am the Lord of the territory behind the castle walls, Lynn."

"There is no need to panic, and no need to fear."

"Aiden Morrison — I have executed him!"

"Morrison Manor will no longer exist!"

The Ross behind Lynn immediately understood, raising Aiden's head high in the air.

The crowd looked at the strange yet familiar head and face, exclaiming in astonishment.

Surprise, curiosity, panic, and disbelief.

They could not imagine that the Morrison Manor Lord, who had controlled and exploited them for so long, had been obliterated.

As the Manor Lord, Aiden was decapitated by this Lord!

Lynn's voice continued.

"I led soldiers to attack Morrison Manor to liberate you!"

Listening to Lynn's words, they were filled with confusion.

Liberation?

What is liberation?

"Here, you will no longer suffer oppression, and you will have fixed working hours every day."

A look of astonishment appeared on their faces.

"Here, you will no longer fear hunger; you will have three meals a day, each with meat."

They became curious, widening their eyes to look at Lynn.

"Here, your children will receive education, and your illnesses will be treated by doctors."

Hearing this.

Hope appeared on their faces.

With fixed working hours, meals with meat, their children getting an education, and doctors treating their illnesses?

Could such living conditions really be enjoyed by them, these peasants?

Lynn naturally noticed the change in their expressions and continued, "Of course, you can have it all!"

"Moreover, all you need to do is work diligently in the positions suited for you!"

Some peasants, full of curiosity and excitement, asked, "Lord, is it really that simple?"

Lynn nodded, "It is that simple!"

Hearing the definite words of their Lord.

The joy on their faces grew even more.

Directing Ross and Earl to send these people to the town, Lynn turned to Wesley.

"Compile all the people, goods, and livestock brought back from the expedition."

Wesley quickly bowed his head, "Yes, Master."

After dismissing Wesley, he followed the procession to the town ahead.

Until the long line of the convoy gradually left the castle walls and entered the forest.

The area beneath the castle walls slowly quieted down.

Lynn, with Red, headed toward where Avery Dean was organizing construction workers to build Weng City.

Avery, who had been watching the crowd, naturally saw Lynn approaching.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward to meet him. Standing beside Lynn, he spoke with respect, "Lord."

Lynn acknowledged, "Hmm, how is the progress of Weng City?"

Avery hurriedly responded, "Lord, Weng City is currently at the stage of having its foundation dug. Because it is set in the forest, there are stones in the soil..."

"The progress is somewhat slow indeed."
