Chapter 747: Chapter 250: In Morgan Town, I Call the Shots (10,000 Words) (Part 6)

Relatively speaking.

With advantages come disadvantages.

Launching an attack during the day, the soldiers’ movements would be immediately detected by the guard of Morgan Town.

The guard would have more time to prepare defenses.

This would increase the mortality rate of the soldiers!

An attack at night also has its advantages and disadvantages.

Attacking at night, darkness provides natural cover for the soldiers, increasing the success rate of night raids.

Moreover, the town’s alertness naturally decreases at night compared to during the day.

They can even approach the town’s edge without the guard noticing.

The most crucial thing is.

The night raid imposes strong psychological pressure and fear on the guard in town.

They don’t know the strength of the attacking force, nor the direction of attack, making it difficult to organize effective defensive formations.

Similarly.

Attacking at night severely affects the soldiers’ field of vision during the attack!

Darkness makes it difficult for soldiers to see paths, terrain, and enemy positions.

It even makes battlefield commanders struggle to anticipate battlefield maneuvers and adjust effective battle strategies.

Despite there being advantages and disadvantages to both day and night assaults.

But Lynn still chooses to attack at night.

Because he needs plenty of time to use the [Battlefield Sand Table] to simulate the attack on Morgan Town.

Furthermore.

Before conducting the simulated battle, he waits for spies in Morgan to report on the current military strength in town.

At this moment, a semi-transparent [Battlefield Sand Table] panel appears before Lynn’s eyes.

On the panel is a plain, planted with lush green crops.

At the center of the plain is a town filled with various stone and wooden buildings.

The style of each building, every stone and plank on each building is clearly visible.

You can even see some cracks on the buildings!

A slightly dilapidated cobblestone road, five or six meters wide, runs through the entire town from front to back, twisting and extending to the far end of the plain.

Obviously.

It was because of the road connecting to the outside world that the town came to be.

Not far beyond the town.

A river dozens of meters wide flows past not far from the town.

Providing the town with water for living and irrigation.

The terrain and outline of the town on the panel is indeed Morgan Town outside the forest.

Moreover.

The scenery on the panel changes constantly with Lynn’s intentions.

Even if he only passed through Morgan Town with little impression.

Lynn can still feel.

The scene on the panel achieves an almost one-to-one realistic restoration.

He hadn’t used the [Battlefield Sand Table] function before.

Now that it’s opened, upon careful inspection and comparison.

Lynn can’t help but marvel once again at the powerful function of [Heavenly Artifacts].

With this function, not to say deploying troops like a god.

At the very least, he can consider all possible scenarios during the siege within the attack plan.

Aiming to minimize casualties among soldiers and warhorses!

Because war inevitably means soldiers will perish.

He can achieve victory in a war and bring back all soldiers alive as much as possible.

For a lord, that’s enough!

While Lynn observed.

The sound of running footsteps echoed from afar.

The sound was somewhat hurried, approaching him from afar.

Lynn turned to look.

It was the intelligence captain Gasper, who had been infiltrating Morgan Town.

Gasper quickly walked up to Lynn, bowed slightly, and respectfully greeted him.

"Lord."

Lynn nodded and asked, "How is the situation in Morgan Town now?"

"How many soldiers has Frank Manor arranged to station in the town?"

Listening to Lynn’s inquiry, Gasper’s face showed some hesitation.

But he still responded, "Lord, there is some bad intelligence."

Lynn frowned, "Let’s hear it."

Rose and Wesley, who were resting not far away, stepped forward.

Standing behind Lynn, listening quietly.

Gasper continued, "This morning, Joao Frank brought a large mercenary troop to Morgan Town."

"Due to their sudden arrival, I only received the intelligence this morning and couldn’t report to you in time, Lord."

Lynn pondered for a moment, "Go on."

Gasper, a little nervous, swallowed and continued.

"According to the intelligence I gathered, Frank Manor paid a great price to invite this mercenary corps called the Blade Wind Corps from Wind Hill."

"To guard the entire Morgan Town for Frank Manor, watching over the townsmen and travelers!"

Lynn frowned.

Is it a coincidence?

Or did someone in his territory become a traitor?

He had just convened Rose, Wesley, and a group of foremen yesterday to explain his plan for today.

Yet morning comes, and Frank Manor brings in a mercenary corps?

Quickly.

Lynn dismisses the suspicion from his mind.

With the existence of [Loyalty Value], he can see the loyalty value of everyone present at the banquet at a glance.

On the panel, except for Flint, whose loyalty value is only 70%↑.

Rose, Wesley, and all the foremen have a loyalty value of 100%! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Absolute loyalty!

Thus, it must be a coincidence.

Looking at Gasper lowering his head, Lynn asked, "What’s the strength of the Blade Wind Corps you mentioned?"

Gasper didn’t hesitate, "Lord, I have already investigated."

"The mercenary members of the Blade Wind Corps, including the leader Keith Alva, his brother Wyatt Alva, and group captains, total one thousand!"

"Among them, only two hundred are cavalry, while the remaining eight hundred are infantry."

"By the way, Lord, they are all either wearing cloth armor or unarmored."

"Their weapons vary, with longswords, scimitars, etc., not standard issue."

Lynn nodded, "Do you have any intelligence on their defensive arrangements and the mercenary camp where they live?"

Gasper responded, "I’ve made inquiries, Lord."

"The Blade Wind Corps organized guard teams watching the front and back exits of Morgan Town."

"Each guard team comprises one hundred men!"

"Outside the town, they also arranged two fifty-man cavalry teams for patrol."

"Ordinary townsmen find it extremely difficult to go outside, let alone escape the town."

"I had to exhaust all possibilities to get out this time myself..."

"Moreover, in the morning, the Blade Wind Corps turned the entire Morgan Town upside down!"

"All the townspeople’s valuables and money were looted by them, leading to widespread discontent."

"Some mercenaries even directly moved into the townspeople’s homes..."

"But scared by the sheer number of Blade Wind Corps members, they dare not speak out..."

Lynn’s frown deepened.

Has Janet gone mad?

She uses heavy taxation on Morgan Town’s townsmen, a killing-the-hens-to-warm-the-room strategy, to quickly amass wealth.

In order to recruit soldiers and buy weapons and armor.

That he can understand!

But.

Allowing a mercenary corps into Morgan Town and letting them do whatever they please.

Does Janet want to incite the anger of Morgan Town’s residents?
