Chapter 1030 - 298: Decisive Victory (10,000)
On the warhorse.
Rose tightly gripped the reins, looking down with interest at the middle-aged man in a coarse wool robe.
Even though his arms were held back by two soldiers, rendering him unable to break free.
But Land, seeing the burly man on the tall horse, remained silent.
Land thought, the other was wary of Viscount Jon Zuck, and continued to shout.
"Release me now, and I can still plead with Master Zok and Viscount Jon Zuck to forgive your crimes!"
Rose couldn’t help but smile and asked in return.
"Plead with Zok and Jon Zuck to forgive us?"
Land’s tone was firm, "Of course!"
Rose asked again: "Then where do you think we’re from?"
Land was just about to speak.
Upon seeing the steel armor worn by Rose and the other riders, something clicked in his mind, and his eyes widened.
Land tentatively asked, "Are you... are you from Morgan Town?"
Rose did not answer Land’s question but continued to ask back.
"Now, do you think we still need the forgiveness of your so-called Master Zok and Jon Zuck?"
Land fell silent instantly, his face full of seriousness.
He had exhausted his efforts, carrying a large sum of money and gold and silver jewels, to escape from Connelly Manor.
Moreover, to avoid being chased by the guards of Connelly Manor, he hid and sneaked around.
He initially thought he could avoid the guards’ pursuit by mingling with this cavalry troop.
But he never dreamed.
This troop was actually the armored cavalry of Lord Lynn from Morgan Town!
Even so.
He shamelessly used the names of Zok or Jon Zuck to speak disrespectfully to this armored cavalry troop...
If his arms weren’t held back by two soldiers.
Land wished he could slap himself twice.
Seeing Land fall silent, Rose continued to ask.
"What is the current situation in Connelly Manor?"
Land hesitated a bit and said, "This... this Commander..."
"I don’t know the current situation of Connelly Manor."
"Before Lord Lynn’s army attacked Connelly Manor, I had already fled... retreated."
Rose stared at Land: "Retreated?"
Land’s face was full of embarrassment, reluctantly admitting.
"Commander, it was an escape..."
As the Manor Steward, he was carrying a large sum of money and gold and silver jewels, all alone.
With cavalry guards behind him, chasing him.
Other than having stolen the Manor Lord’s money and fleeing unnoticed by others from the manor.
Rose couldn’t think of any other possibility!
Rose shifted his gaze, looking at the two soldiers, instructing them.
"Bring everything back to Morgan Town and let the master handle it."
The two soldiers promptly responded, "Yes, Lord Rose."
Rose squeezed his legs against the warhorse to accelerate its speed and moved to the front of the troop.
No more than ten minutes later.
The forward cavalry troop captured and brought back the five guards from Connelly Manor chasing Land.
Upon questioning by Rose, it was found that these guards, like Land.
All had left before Wesley’s army attacked Connelly Manor.
They were unaware of the battles that occurred in Connelly Manor.
Despite this.
Rose was not overly concerned.
With Wesley’s ability, along with a large number of archers, heavy infantry, and the 800 Pan Rock Iron Guards led by Tyrone.
Attacking a manor that was isolated and alone, with only a few hundred guards and a thousand peasants, was simply too easy.
Large-scale arrow volleys weakened the enemy’s forces from afar.
Dressed in standard plate armor, wielding five-meter-long winged spears, the heavy infantry took advantage of their defense and long weapons.
The manor’s guards or peasants couldn’t even get close before being pierced into a beehive by the spears!
It was only a matter of time before Wesley captured Connelly Manor.
Suppressing his thoughts, Rose continued to lead the cavalry troop behind him.
Down a gravel and muddy road, heading towards the southern forests of Alba Town.
Riding on his warhorse, Rose vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
It had been over three hours since they passed through Alba Town.
The journey had been free of danger.
Yet Rose couldn’t suppress the vigilance in his heart.
Soon.
Rose’s tense heart slightly relaxed.
On the gravel and muddy road, there were clear and fresh wheel tracks left by carriages.
Furthermore.
Every few distances, there would be a small bunch of grain crops scattered on the ground.
And then trampled into the firm mud by a flurry of footprints.
Rose could naturally deduce.
That Wesley had indeed captured Connelly Manor, seizing all the manor’s grain crops, goods, and labor.
Just like his arrangements for the guards and peasants.
Wesley similarly arranged for guards and peasants to transport the manor’s goods...
As Rose was observing, the sound of galloping hooves reached his ears.
Rose looked up.
A soldier clad in composite armor, riding a horse, approached him.
It was the messenger from the forward cavalry.
Stopping his horse before Rose, the messenger respectfully reported to Rose.
"Lord Rose, Lord Wesley is waiting at the forest entrance, and suggests returning to Morgan Town with you!"
Just as he suspected, Rose nodded in response: "I understand!"
