CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 179: THE EMPEROR AND THE PUPPET ON STRINGS (10K)

Lynn opened his mouth and said, "Of course, there will be some risk."

"But whether it’s for her or for you as the Guard Captain, it will be a test."

With Yaya’s ability, she was simply not sufficient for Lynn to send to the side of other Great Lord Nobility to gather the intelligence needed for him.

And the defense capability of the guard team led by Red was equally too weak.

This was a perfect opportunity to train the guard team’s defensive abilities!

The presence of Yaya, at least, was within a controllable range.

If later on, a spy more powerful than Yaya infiltrated, how could his safety be guaranteed with the current alertness and capability of the guard team?

Stopping at Lynn’s words, Red understood and nodded, "Yes, Master."

In the conversation between Lynn and Red, the two had already arrived at the entrance of Ehrelo’s blacksmith workshop.

However.

Just as Lynn was about to walk in, the sound of orderly metal footsteps echoed from behind the blacksmith workshop.

Lynn walked through the blacksmith workshop to the open space at its back.

A number of soldiers wearing neatly arranged standard plate armor were being assisted by blacksmith apprentices in adjustments.

Standing at the front, Ehrelo and Rose saw Lynn and quickly bent over, calling out, "Master."

Lynn nodded, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers present, and he spoke to Ehrelo, "Are these the three hundred sets of standard plate armor you made?"

Hearing this, Ehrelo quickly responded, "Yes, Master."

"Five hundred sets of full-body standard plate armor have been completed, and of the additional four hundred sets of helmet and chest armor, over three hundred have also been made!"

"All can be completed in at most two days!"

Lynn nodded.

The original task target assigned to the blacksmith workshop was nine hundred sets of full-body standard plate armor.

But due to limited ability, it turned into five hundred sets of full-body standard plate armor and four hundred sets of helmet and chest armor...

Although it could not temporarily form a fully armed heavy infantry force.

But it was quite sufficient to equip archers and light infantry.

Lynn’s gaze turned to Rose beside him; before he could ask.

Rose took the initiative to report, "Master, during this period, no spies have been seen coming to investigate the fortress wall’s intelligence."

"However, in the morning, Jeremy, who was hidden in Morgan Town, brought back information about Morgan Town."

"He said that the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps has greatly increased in numbers, and Morgan Town has entered into lockdown..."

Lynn frowned and addressed Rose, "I heard this information from Boer more than a week ago."

"Why is it only being reported now?"

Rose lowered his head and explained, "Because the manor lords in the town, in order to prevent armed soldier information from leaking to the Bandit Corps, enforced a policy of no exit, it was hard for them to send anyone out of town..."

"The personnel who went out this time even had to hide in manure carts filled with excrement..."

Lynn looked directly at Rose, "Rose, you must find a way to improve the methods of intelligence transmission."

"A seven-day delay in intelligence. If there was any major military situation, seven days would be enough to raze the entire territory."

Rose solemnly responded, "Yes, Master."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound, looked again at the three hundred standard plate armor soldiers ahead, and his heart eased slightly.

After watching for a moment, Lynn instructed Rose a few more things before he left the blacksmith workshop.

As Lynn was preparing to head straight to the forest edge outside the town to grind Collection skill experience.

On the lime road between the barley-planted fields.

A long convoy of carriages entered Lynn’s sight.

Ten huge carriages, each drawn by four horses, led the way, followed by long lines of figures...

George also walked over from the distant market area.

Seeing Lynn, George quickly bent down, speaking respectfully, calling out "Master Lynn."

Under the watchful eyes of Lynn and his companions, the carriages snorted and stopped in the open space of the square.

At the forefront, a figure leaped down from a tall horse.

It was none other than Grayson!

Grayson naturally saw Lynn ahead.

A smile appeared on his face, and he quickened his pace, walking towards Lynn.

Coming in front of Lynn, Grayson performed a merchant’s etiquette before saying, "Master Lynn, this time’s trade, I’ll give you a big surprise!"

Seeing the confident smile on Grayson’s face, Lynn became interested.

"What big surprise?"

Grayson did not hold back any secrets and said directly, "Slaves!"

"A whole six hundred slaves!"

Lynn’s eyebrows could not help but raise.

Before Lynn could ask about the origin of these slaves, Grayson explained first.

"These slaves are from the Portlands Empire!"

Listening to Grayson mention the Portlands Empire again, Lynn repeated his words with some confusion.

"Portlands Empire?"

Grayson said with conviction, "Yes, Portlands Empire."

"Just as you said before, the Portlands Emperor’s pardon of the peasants was to provide achievements for the eldest grandson Vedao Gerard!"

"A month ago, the Emperor of the Portlands Empire, Brant Gerard, passed away."

"He left a will, allowing the eldest grandson Chronos Gerard to inherit the throne."

There was no surprise on Lynn’s face.

It seemed a bit strange, but it was easy to deduce the real intention behind it.
