Chapter 748: Chapter 251: Then Let’s Fight! (10,000 Words)

If we push them to desperation.

Three thousand townsmen ready to face death, even with nothing but farm tools in hand, would still be a formidable fighting force.

Looking at Gasper, who still stood with his head bowed before him, Lynn pondered.

Gasper, who had been lurking in Morgan Town, brought him timely information.

But the arrival of the Blade Wind Corps Mercenary Corps, invited by Frank Manor, took him by surprise.

It even disrupted his previously planned strategy.

His initial plan was to launch a surprise assault on Morgan Town, guarded by a divided force from Frank Manor, under the cover of darkness.

Utilizing the high mobility and overwhelming advantage of the cavalry.

To swiftly eliminate the soldiers from Frank Manor stationed in Morgan Town and seize control of Morgan Town.

To wait for Frank Manor to learn of Morgan Town’s fall and send a large force for reinforcement.

He would then deploy all his troops outside the town, in the fields planted with crops, to engage Frank Manor in the final battle.

With the sturdy defense of standard plate armor of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, the sharpness of winged spears, and a rain of arrows!

It was entirely possible to annihilate Frank Manor’s active forces with minimal casualties!

But now...

Seeing that Lynn was silent, Gasper dared not disturb him at all.

He just stood there quietly waiting.

On either side of Lynn, Rose, Wesley, and Red stood as well.

Their brows slightly furrowed, also pondering how to respond.

A few seconds later.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, looking at Rose and the others, "You two, you’ve also heard what Captain Gasper said."

Listening to Lynn’s inquiry.

Rose and Wesley quickly stepped forward and bent slightly.

Lynn continued, "Let’s hear your suggestions."

After exchanging a glance, Rose spoke first, "The arrival of the Mercenary Corps, if they unite with Frank Manor, will place our soldiers at a numerical disadvantage!"

"If we attack Morgan Town and can conclude the battle swiftly, then so be it."

"But if it drags into a prolonged battle, and Frank Manor learns of the fighting and sends a large army to support."

"Then we’ll be surrounded, attacked from both front and back!"

Lynn nodded.

Rose continued, "Of course, Master, there’s another option."

"Retreat!"

"Continue to expand our forces and enhance military strength."

"Wait until we have enough forces, then bring large machinery to launch an attack!"

Lynn remained silent, merely staring at Rose.

Rose continued, "But, Master, retreating presents a problem."

"The depletion of morale!"

"Losing heart before even fighting is far worse than the impact of defeat."

When Rose finished speaking, Lynn pondered for a moment and looked at Wesley.

Feeling Lynn’s gaze, Wesley took a slight breath.

He spoke resolutely, "Fight!"

"Master, this battle must be fought!"

Lynn raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised at Wesley.

Compared to Rose’s neutral speech analyzing the pros and cons of the upcoming war.

Wesley’s stance indeed seemed a bit radical and belligerent.

"Oh? Tell me your thoughts."

Wesley spoke directly, "Master, Morgan Town is a vital passage from Kakasong City to your territory!"

"Whether controlled by Frank Manor or the so-called Blade Wind Corps."

"It will undoubtedly affect the development of your territory!"

"Traveling merchants can’t reach your territory, preventing them from supplying you with various goods."

"Rather than being pinched and restricted by the enemy at every turn."

"Better to bring the army forward and wipe out all potential crises on your territory!"

Wesley ignored the surprised looks from Lynn and Rose and continued speaking.

"Moreover, as Rose said!"

"Losing heart before the battle not only affects the soldiers’ morale."

"It will also diminish your authority in their eyes!"

Lynn nodded and said, "Both of you make valid points."

"I have already made a decision in my heart!"

Rose and Wesley slightly raised their heads, waiting for Lynn’s words.

A voice loud and imposing echoed from Lynn’s mouth.

"Then we fight!"

Rose and Wesley’s hearts trembled.

Regarding their master’s character.

They gained further understanding and recognition.

Their master was never one to fear death or be a coward.

Unwavering, indomitable!

Lynn looked directly at Rose and said sternly, "Prepare enough food for all soldiers and warhorses, let them eat and drink their fill, and rest in place awaiting orders."

"Be ready to launch an attack on Morgan Town at any time!"

Rose lowered her head and responded, "Yes, Master!"

Turning his gaze, Lynn looked at Wesley.

"Strengthen the surveillance of the surrounding area; if anyone approaches, capture them immediately."

"If capture is not possible, shoot them on sight!"

"Ensure that our information hidden in the mountains and forests does not leak out!"

Wesley also responded, "I understand, Master."

After dismissing Rose and Wesley to execute their orders.

Lynn looked at Gasper and spoke solemnly, "Captain Gasper, I need you to do something."

Gasper, with a resolute expression, quickly replied, "Lord, just give your command."

"My family owes our survival to your help."

"Without you, we wouldn’t have the life we have today."

"Therefore, as soon as you give the order, even if it’s to face death, Gasper would not hesitate!"

Lynn responded, "Captain Gasper, you’re too serious."
