CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 162: SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY

Boer indeed has unique and pretty good abilities in traveling merchant activities.

However, distinguishing who is a spy from ordinary Free People, how could it be so simple?

If it weren’t for Lynn’s cautious habit of observing people’s facial expressions, small movements, and textual panel prompts.

Lynn wouldn’t be able to make distinctions either.

Looking at Lynn’s calm expression, Boer hesitated a bit.

Eventually, he still slowly stood up.

Behind Boer, his Guard Team also visibly relaxed.

They are Boer’s exclusive Guard Team. If Boer makes a mistake and gets killed by this Lord, what would become of them?

Lynn spoke to Boer, "Mr. Boer, four thousand pounds of barley and one thousand pounds of meat can be exchanged for three thousand pounds of fine salt."

"As for those Free People... I can exchange fine salt at the price of three shillings per slave for you!"

Listening to Lynn’s words, Boer hurriedly explained, "Master Lynn, there’s no need, you can trade me food instead."

"Those Free People, I was merely guiding them, there was no cost."

"Moreover, what you gave earlier is already enough!"

Lynn nodded, "How about this, if Mr. Boer can bring even more Free People, I can give Mr. Boer ten pounds of fine salt per person as a reward."

Ten pounds of fine salt, for Lynn who has three salt factories, producing over two thousand pounds daily.

It’s a mere drop in the bucket.

Even if Boer brought over all Free People from Morgan Town.

Four thousand people would still only amount to forty thousand pounds of fine salt, just twenty days’ output!

Once the trade for fine salt was confirmed, Lynn had George arrange personnel to start unloading the grain and meat from the carts.

As the townsmen began to busy themselves, Boer looked at Lynn with a face full of hesitation.

Ultimately, Boer couldn’t help but ask, "Master Lynn, are you just letting those spies go?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Boer, you might have misunderstood. I said to have Rose send them on their way!"

Boer’s face froze slightly.

In the next second.

He understood.

Just as Boer was about to speak, Rose had already returned with the guards from afar.

A trip to and fro, just over half an hour.

Among them, the three spies who infiltrated the territory were no longer visible.

Soon.

Rose arrived in front of Lynn; he glanced at his waist, "Master, they’ve been sent on their way!"

Lynn responded, "Understood."

Rose said nothing more, standing quietly with the soldiers, waiting.

Looking at Lynn’s calm expression, Boer’s heart was filled with complexity.

It turns out, Master Lynn before him is far more cold and ruthless than he imagined!

An hour later.

All the grain and meat were unloaded, and three thousand pounds of fine salt was loaded onto the carts.

After respectfully bidding farewell to Lynn, Boer boarded the cart and left with the cart team.

Until the cart team was far away, Rose directly knelt before Lynn.

"I hope the Master imposes severe punishment!"

As the soldier instructor for the entire territory, he was responsible for the training of soldiers.

He even took the initiative to suggest leading soldiers to guard the city walls!

But now, he didn’t search or interrogate thoroughly, allowing those spies to infiltrate the territory.

Furthermore, they reached the town and were in the presence of the Master.

For him, this was negligence, betraying the Master’s trust.

This kind of negligence, even a public beheading wouldn’t be excessive.

Not only Rose, behind him, dozens of soldiers also knelt on the ground.

In unison, a voice arose from their mouths.

"We hope for severe punishment."

Lynn glanced at them, speaking in a deep voice, "If I had more generals or instructors, I would certainly behead you."

"However, I am willing to give you a chance to offset mistakes with merit."

Rose still dared not raise his head.

Lynn’s words continued, "Next spring, I need you to lead these soldiers to eradicate the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps!"

Upon hearing this.

Rose finally raised his head, his words firm, "I will obey the Master’s command."

Lynn responded, "Stand up, I don’t want to see such matters happen again."

Rose promptly replied, "Yes, Master!"

After dismissing Rose, Lynn sat on the wooden bench at the back.

His mind began to quickly contemplate.

Beheading four spies had no mental burden for Lynn.

Lynn didn’t even know when it began that killing no longer brought psychological or physical pressure.

Starting from killing wolves for survival?

Or maintaining the order of the previous village by shooting vagrants who snatched food?

Or perhaps shooting robbers who entered the village?

Even Lynn himself couldn’t quite remember.

Relative to his change in mentality, what concerns Lynn more now is the spies who infiltrated the territory town.

The infiltration, [Disaster Warning] didn’t show textual prompts.

Knowing this information now is a good thing for Lynn.

It allows him to be mentally prepared and vigilant against strangers.

As the sky gradually dimmed, Lynn’s mind repeatedly echoed Hubert’s words.

He began to sort through the logic and reasons behind it.

The Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps collaborated with the Storm Mercenary Corps in an unknown manner.

Being part of the Storm Mercenary Corps, following the orders of the Iron Blood Brotherhood.

Clearly, the Iron Blood Brotherhood holds a higher position than the Storm Mercenary Corps.
