Chapter 1102: Chapter 310: Invaders? No, Liberators!

Weiss’s gaze shifted; he casually glanced at the corpse lying on the distant ground and nodded slightly.

"I understand. Immediately arrange for the soldiers to enter the Manor residence."

"Take all the money, grain, iron tools, labor, poultry and livestock that Master Lynn the Lord requires... and bring everything back to Morgan Town!"

After the previous assault on Connelly Manor, when Land Philip had taken the money and jewelry away in advance.

Fortunately, by a twist of fate, the cavalry led by Rose managed to capture him.

Although Lord Master Lynn did not punish him for this.

Yet as a Commander, this was a dereliction of duty in itself.

This time, he would not make the same mistake again!

"At the same time, tally the casualties among our soldiers."

"If any comrades have fallen, their bodies must be brought back to Morgan Town!"

"This was once a promise Lord Master Lynn made to all soldiers!"

"Then dig deep pits and bury all the corpses of the Guards and Peasants who died in Benitez Manor, to prevent an outbreak of plague!"

If improper handling of the corpses led to the outbreak of a plague, it would surely endanger Morgan Town!

Earl’s brows twitched; he hurriedly answered.

"Yes, Lord Weiss!"

Without any superfluous words, Earl led squads of armored soldiers, striding quickly toward the Manor residence.

The originally quiet Manor residence.

Was now filled with the sounds of hurried footsteps and the scraping of Metal Armor.

Amid cries of terror, groups of Maids and Peasants were driven by armored soldiers to the open square in front of the Manor residence.

Under the furious shouts of the armored soldiers, they were forced into orderly ranks...

Watching these Maids and Peasants carry out all kinds of goods from the warehouses...

Weiss’s gaze shifted and turned toward the distant eastern horizon.

Far up in the sky, the night was gradually fading.

The darkness of before turned into a layer of ashen gray...

Weiss understood that the night was about to pass, and dawn was about to arrive.

Thoughts raced rapidly through Weiss’s mind.

The living Power of Benitez Manor had already been annihilated by the 1,700 armored cavalry under his command!

The remaining Guards and Peasants, terrified of death, had chosen to surrender and lay down their arms.

The Manor Lord Devant Benitez had been cut down by Earl in a Charge.

Having lost the rule and oppression of their Manor Lord.

And with the Guards and Peasants terrified of the armored cavalry.

After the armored cavalry had cut down several hundred Guards and Peasants.

The remaining Guards and Peasants chose to surrender and lay down their arms...

What Weiss was pondering now was the next course of action—whether to continue the attack on McKinley Manor.

The sky was gradually brightening.

Without the cover of night, it would be difficult for the armored cavalry to conduct a night raid and attack.

Indeed.

Their large-scale battle with the Guards and Peasants of Benitez Manor.

Would easily draw the attention of McKinley Manor!

As Weiss was deep in thought, time passed swiftly.

The sky overhead grew ever brighter.

A series of heavy footsteps sounded behind Weiss.

Weiss turned his head and saw Earl striding toward him.

Coming to Weiss’s side, Earl bent at the waist in salute and spoke respectfully.

"Lord Weiss, everything in the Benitez Manor residence has been fully sorted."

"Please give your orders, Lord Weiss."

Weiss fell silent for a few seconds, as though making some decision, then spoke.

"Take all remaining personnel and goods and immediately return to Morgan Town!"

Earl’s brows lifted slightly; he asked with some hesitation.

"Lord Weiss, then what about the remaining McKinley Manor..."

Weiss took no offense at Earl’s question and explained.

"War is like the Planting of crops in Lord Master Lynn’s fields."

"It must proceed step by step, one footprint at a time."

Earl’s face held some confusion.

Weiss patiently explained, "To put it simply..."

"We do indeed possess the military strength to wipe out McKinley Manor."

"But now it is daylight; we have lost the favorable conditions for a night raid."

"Moreover, last night’s battle will easily alert McKinley Manor, causing them to strengthen their Guard and Defense."

"If we now dispatch armored cavalry soldiers there, it would be easy for us to fall into an encirclement by McKinley Manor!"

Earl nodded in sudden understanding.

Weiss continued his explanation, "After taking Benitez Manor, these spoils of war we’ve gained!"

"If we go into battle again, these Guards, Peasants, and Maids will surely take the chance to flee when no one is watching."

"In that case, Lord Master Lynn’s sending us to Bo Xi Town to destroy Benitez Manor would lose its meaning..."

"We can only first absorb this batch of spoils before making further plans!"

"Most crucial of all..."

"After marching and fighting for a full day and night, the soldiers are exhausted."

"If we throw them into the next battle now, it would be easy for excessive depletion of their strength to cause large-scale casualties!"

Earl again nodded in response, the look he gave Weiss now carrying a newfound admiration.

Earl bent at the waist in salute and replied earnestly.

"My thanks for Lord Weiss’s tireless instruction!"

Watching Earl’s gesture, Weiss gave a faint smile.

"If you must give thanks, save it for Lord Lynn when we return; I am only carrying out orders."

Weiss’s tone shifted as he continued.

"Enough, immediately assign a detachment of light cavalry as an advance force to scout ahead and provide early warning."
