System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1012 - 295: Overwhelming War (10,000)

The two adults on horseback remained silent.

Bader explained, "My lords, based on my understanding of Walter."

"His stubborn nature means that even if he knows a large enemy force is about to attack Connelly Manor, knowing he is outmatched, he won’t flee for survival."

"Therefore, my lords, be cautious of Walter when attacking Connelly Manor!"

Rose still said nothing, his gaze shifting to Wesley.

Wesley responded with a nod, "Besides this, is there any other critical information?"

Bader’s mind raced with thoughts.

He went through his thoughts but could not recall any information that might benefit the lords in attacking Connelly Manor.

Bader tentatively asked.

"My lords, is it considered special information that the Guard Captain and the steward of Connelly Manor have always been at odds?"

Wesley shot a glance at Bader, "What do you think?"

Feeling the coldness in Wesley’s tone, Bader quickly shut his mouth, not daring to utter nonsense.

At that moment.

The sound of thundering hooves could be heard in front, approaching the marching soldiers.

With sharp senses, Rose and Wesley immediately turned their heads to look.

They saw two light cavalrymen in composite armor coming towards them.

And behind them, a man in a linen robe, with his hands bound, was being dragged along.

With the sound of horses being reined in, the light cavalry came to a halt.

Looking at the light cavalry from the advance troops, Rose asked in a deep voice.

"What happened?"

The cavalryman on horseback quickly replied.

"Lord Rose, the advance troops have captured a spy."

"Through interrogation, he was found to be from Connelly Manor in Alba Town."

Upon hearing the cavalryman’s words, Rose and Wesley exchanged glances.

Wesley’s gaze shifted, landing on Bader beside him.

Without the need for Wesley to ask, Bader carefully examined the captured spy.

"My lord, he indeed is a guard from Connelly Manor."

Wesley nodded.

With a spy from Connelly Manor scouting their marching speed,

It wasn’t necessary to interrogate the spy to guess that their plan for a night raid on Connelly Manor had been exposed.

Nevertheless.

Wesley still stared directly at the newly captured spy and asked.

"Who sent you to gather intelligence?"

Facing the towering figure in armor on horseback, the spy’s face was full of hesitation.

Bader took a step forward and addressed the spy, "Emery, you see the situation now."

"If you want to live, just answer whatever the lords ask!"

Hearing the strangely familiar voice, the spy called Emery was filled with shock.

Emery said incredulously, "Deputy Guard Captain Bader, how are you with them?"

Bader shook his head and continued to persuade, "It’s a long story, and I’ll explain if there’s an opportunity."

"However, if you want to live, follow my instructions!"

"Because even if you don’t speak, it won’t change the fate of Connelly Manor..."

Emery’s heart was full of hesitation.

As a spy, Emery was all too aware of the strength of this armored force on the march!

What two thousand armored soldiers?

This army had nearly four thousand soldiers!

And more importantly.

Among these nearly four thousand soldiers, at least half were armored.

The remaining hundreds of soldiers without armor were towering and burly!

If this army attacked Connelly Manor, Connelly Manor would have no chance to retaliate.

After gathering the detailed information of the marching soldiers, Emery was preparing to return to Connelly Manor to report.

But unexpectedly, he was detected by the advance cavalry of the marching troops.

Due to the slower speed of his horse, he was eventually captured by the advance cavalry.

Emery was even more surprised that the long-missing Deputy Guard Captain appeared among the enemy soldiers.

And had even become their envoy?

Seeing Emery still speechless, Bader continued his persuasion.

"If you die or think nothing matters, that’s the end of it."

"But what about your wife and children? Can you just ignore them?"

"How will they survive?"

"If there really is no way to live, your wife could go to the brothel in Kakasong."

"But what about your son?"

Emery’s body trembled sharply, and he quickly responded to Wesley.

"It was Walter... Guard Captain Walter who sent me."

Wesley continued to ask, "When did you discover that we entered Alba Town?"

Without hesitation, Emery continued speaking.

"Originally, Guard Captain Walter planned to take us to Morgan Town to gather information about the armored soldiers there."

"But ten miles from the Morgan Town and Alba Town border, we happened to see your troops entering Alba Town."

Wesley understood, realizing it was just a coincidence after all.

If the spy had informed him that there were spies from Alba Town in Morgan Town...

The situation would be entirely different.

Rose still remained silent.

Since Wesley chose Connelly Manor as a target for attack,

All intelligence and information related to Connelly Manor should naturally be handled by him.

Wesley continued to ask, "What is Connelly Manor doing now?"
