Chapter 1064: Chapter 303: Betrayal of Lord Lynn? (10,000 Words)_5

"So, my two Manor Lords, what are your thoughts?"

"The fallen Connelly Manor and Louis Manor, with a total of 90,000 acres of land..."

"How should we divide it?"

Hearing Helena’s words, Brick and Alex instantly became interested.

Brick’s eyes flickered with some doubt.

"Setting aside whether Lord Lynn can achieve victory against Viscount Jon Zuck."

"Even if he does win, how can you be sure that Lord Lynn is willing to let us manage the lands in Alba Town?"

Brick’s tone shifted, "Or has Lady Helena forgotten..."

"We have already pledged our allegiance to Lord Lynn?"

Helena’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she stared directly at Brick and said solemnly.

"Of course, I haven’t forgotten!"

"However, the reason we agreed to pay Lord Lynn fifty percent of our manor’s total output as tribute..."

"Isn’t it because of the land resources in Alba Town?"

"Whether we pledge allegiance or not, whether we cultivate and plant ourselves or manage it for Lord Lynn."

"We need a large workforce to manage the agricultural land once owned by Connelly Manor and Louis Manor."

Brick and Alex’s eyes showed a look of surprise.

No wonder Helena so quickly agreed to Lynn’s nearly outrageous conditions.

It turns out.

Helena wanted to have the production management rights of both manors!

If the farmland of Connelly and Louis Manors could be divided.

The annual agricultural production would be more than enough to cover the tribute demanded by Lord Lynn...

And there would even be plenty left over!

Thinking this, Brick agreed and said.

"Indeed, Lady Helena is meticulous."

The next second.

Brick’s tone became hesitant.

"But Lady Helena, how do we get Lord Lynn’s permission?"

"If we divide and use the land of the manors he conquered without his permission and hide the resulting yield..."

"Does it count as..."

Brick’s words paused.

Helena exhaled a puff of smoke and asked.

"Does it count as what?"

Brick hesitated, "Does it count as betrayal of Lord Lynn?"

As Brick finished speaking.

The originally four-person meeting room fell instantly silent.

Silent enough to hear Helena’s breathing as she exhaled smoke.

Helena said solemnly, "It does!"

Brick and Alex were startled.

Seeing their expressions change, Helena continued.

"That’s why I fervently asked Lord Lynn to let us join in the war against Viscount Jon Zuck."

"To obtain the usage rights for Alba Town, we must earn Lynn’s approval."

"Charge into battle and earn war merit."

"Besides, to gain the rights to use the land of the two manors, we must defeat Viscount Jon Zuck!"

"Otherwise, what awaits us... is retribution from Viscount Jon Zuck and Zock Connally monopolizing the entire Alba Town!"

Brick and Alex nodded seriously with grave expressions.

They naturally understood the importance and key points in Helena’s words.

Brick stared directly at Helena, who continued to breathe out smoke, and asked.

"If we win this battle..."

"How does Lady Helena propose we allocate the land of the two manors?"

Alex too looked at Helena.

Helena pondered for a moment and said, "Divide the 90,000 acres of land from the two manors into 40,000, 30,000, and 20,000 acres."

"Based on the number of enemies killed, the manor with the highest count will receive 40,000 acres."

"The next will get 30,000 acres, and the least will receive 20,000 acres."

"Our manors have roughly the same number of guards, so it can be a fair competition!"

Brick and Alex nodded again.

They couldn’t think of a better way of allocation besides this mutually beneficial method.

Seeing Brick and Alex had no words, Helena asked.

"Do you two have any objections?"

Brick thought for a few seconds and replied.

"I have no objections."

Sitting next to him, Alex nodded and said.

"I have no objections either."

Helena said with satisfaction, "Then it is decided in this way."

"The amount of land obtained will depend entirely on our efforts!"

Brick and Alex nodded once more.

Afterward.

When Helena brought out the map of Alba Town.

They roughly divided the land of the two manors into sections of 40,000, 30,000, and 20,000 acres.

After confirming some details, the discussion meeting ended late at night.

Standing by the third-floor window, Helena exhaled smoke while watching.

Two carriages, escorted by guards holding high torches.

Rumbled away into the darkness, far from the manor residence.

Until the light of the burning torches was completely swallowed by the darkness.

A voice of reminder sounded behind Helena.

"Lady Helena, the two manor lords have already left..."

Helena did not turn around and said solemnly, "I see."

"Prepare dinner, I’m a bit hungry."

In order to rush to Morgan Town at the earliest opportunity to meet Lynn.

From before dawn till late night, Helena had barely eaten a thing.

Despite a day of exhausting travel.

Despite the fact that the future of Wells Manor, including herself, would be under Lynn’s control...
