Chapter 766: Chapter 254: The Fall of Frank Manor (10,000 Words)

A mighty army grasped their weapons tightly, either riding on warhorses or marching on foot.

Heading into the distant darkness.

A dozen light cavalry wearing composite armor rode ordinary horses, spurred their mounts, and galloped ahead first.

They were scouts, utilizing the speed and agility of horses.

Capable of quickly investigating the surrounding enemy situation and terrain on a large scale.

Serving as the "eyes" and "ears" of the marching army behind.

Preventing the army from suffering a surprise attack.

Especially here at night!

Lynn rode atop Mo Ying, in the middle of the army.

Wesley, from the rear, sped up his warhorse to approach Lynn.

Red, who had been following Lynn, turned a glance back.

Realizing it was Wesley, he withdrew his gaze.

Wesley reported: "Master, we captured Keith. Under our severe interrogation, he has confessed."

"The Blade Wind Corps looted three thousand eight hundred Gold Pounds."

"But it was all taken away by his brother Wyatt, who fled."

Wesley quickly explained as his words shifted.

"However, he says he’s willing to lead us to retrieve the wealth."

"His only request is to spare their lives..."

Listening to Wesley’s explanation, Lynn nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Request... he’s not in a position to negotiate with me."

"Arrange a cavalry unit to retrieve the wealth."

"Expose Keith’s corpse on the gallows at the town entrance to appease the people’s anger!"

Wesley responded with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Master."

Wesley called over a soldier captain to begin issuing and arranging the instructions the lord just gave.

Amidst the sound of soldiers’ orderly footsteps, under the illumination of the torches, on the marching on the gravel road...

A black castle outline had already appeared in front of everyone.

At first glance, though not as grand as Master Lynn’s castle.

It still gave off a towering feeling.

That.

Of course, was the Frank family’s manor castle.

The army led by Lynn marched straight ahead without any pause.

The sound of galloping hooves echoed from the front.

Drawing nearer, galloping closer.

The heavy cavalry at the forefront tightened their grip on their winged spears.

Under the night sky, with obstructed vision, they couldn’t discern the attire and appearance of the approaching ones.

Unable to tell friend from foe.

Naturally, they couldn’t help but feel tense.

A few seconds later.

Several cavalry silhouettes appeared ahead.

Upon recognizing the composite armor worn by the cavalry, the soldiers felt a slight relief.

Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, the scouts bypassed the front troops to reach Lynn in the middle.

The scouts reined in their horses abruptly, and amid the neighing of the horses, quickly reported to Lynn.

"Lord, the gates of Frank Manor are wide open."

"On the walls, aside from burning torches, there’s not a single guard."

"We fifteen riders circled a lap, not even a single presence was seen!"

"Frank Manor now looks like an empty city!"

Lynn acknowledged, then spoke: "Scout and report again."

The scouts promptly replied, "Yes, Lord."

Without any wasted words, the scouts flicked their reins.

Driving their mounts forward into the darkness again.

Wesley, who had finished arranging matters, listened to the scout’s report and furrowed his brows, saying.

"The gates are wide open, no defense?"

"Master, could Frank Manor have set up an ambush?"

Lynn replied calmly, "No."

"If Frank Manor still had other armed soldiers, they could have launched an overwhelming attack to destroy us."

"Why send nearly two thousand soldiers to their deaths?"

"Especially including the fierce Joao Frank?"

As for whether it was Janet using his hand to eliminate Joao Frank.

Or if there were any other schemes.

Lynn no longer cared.

Absolute strength can crush all schemes and conspiracies.

Wesley nodded in understanding.

An open gate, an undefended castle...

This kind of situation was the first he had encountered.

As the army advanced steadily, after two rounds of the scouts’ reports, they arrived two hundred meters in front of the manor castle gate.

Lynn scanned the manor castle ahead with his gaze.

Just as the scout described.

The gate was open, not a single figure on the walls.

Only the torches were burning, emitting the glow of flames.

Cold and silent.

Lynn shouted, "Enter the castle!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers’ resounding response echoed. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The sound was loud and full of energy.

Forming a sharp contrast with the castle’s atmosphere.

Under the leadership of Earl, who led by example, the cavalry urged their warhorses towards the manor castle gates.

The heavy infantry followed closely behind.

The sound of clashing armor parts persisted without pause.

Until the soldiers entered, no sounds of fighting erupted for a long time.

The robust Earl returned to Lynn’s side on horseback.

He reported with a lowered head: "Master, there’s no enemy within the castle!"

"Only some sleeping maids and peasants..."

Lynn responded, "Wake everyone, gather and guard them, and await further instruction."

Earl replied with a lowered head, "Yes, Lord."

Turning his gaze to Wesley.

Without even needing to be instructed, Wesley immediately spoke.
