She changed her mind.
Janet didnât expect the Bladewind Group stationed at Morgan Town to withstand Lynnâs steel army.
She only hoped that the Bladewind Group could use Morgan Townâs defenses.
Even if itâs just stubborn resistance, to buy time, waiting for the reinforcement from Frank Manor.
Then.
With a pincer movement from both sides, annihilate Lynnâs massive army.
Only in this way.
Could Frank Manor overthrow Lynn and become the sole lord of Morgan Town!
Joao didnât respond immediately.
Instead, he lowered his head, staring at the bluestone pavement beneath his feet, as if contemplating something.
After a few seconds.
Joao lifted his head, his large eyes directly meeting Janetâs.
He asked, "Janet, is there no other way?"
Janetâs gaze also met Joaoâs.
She shook her head calmly to indicate this.
Seeing Janetâs expression and actions, Joao opened his mouth, took a deep breath.
After exhaling, he spoke firmly and shouted.
"Since we canât avoid Lynnâs soldiers."
"Then we fight!"
"Janet, give the order!"
Janet solemnly nodded, and said to Joao.
"I, Janet, as the Manor Lord, order you to assemble all the soldiers in the Manor Castle!"
"In half an hour, the entire army will set off to aid Morgan Town."
Joao stood straight, his expression resolute, and he shouted firmly.
"Yes!"
With the response given.
Joao said nothing more and moved toward the distant staircase.
Despite wearing chain armor and an iron helmet.
It did not hinder his stride at all.
Quickly, and steadily powerful.
Watching Joao step down the stairs, Janet also took strides toward the reception hall.
Entering the castle, into the reception hall.
She walked down familiar corridors, back into her bedroom.
Janet removed her silk nightgown.
With the assistance of two maids, she began to don the leather armor and cloak placed on the rack...
At this moment in the Manor Castle.
With soldiers running and shouting.
Orders repeatedly echoed in the dormitory area behind the castle manor.
"Emergency assembly! Emergency assembly!"
"The Manor Lord orders: Assemble all soldiers to aid Morgan Town."
"Everyone, grab your weapons!"
"Only weapons can keep you alive on the battlefield."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"..."
Joao walked with strides, approaching from afar.
Even without standing at an elevated place, his two-meter stature allowed him to clearly take in the sight in front of him.
Under the light of torches.
Squad after squad of freshly recruited soldiers rushed out of the dormitories,
Their expressions were anxious, and they didnât even have time to put their clothes on properly.
Urged by their captains, they hurriedly formed ranks.
Seeing this scene.
Joao couldnât help but frown.
The current Frank Manor clearly had not recovered from the last defense battle.
The newly recruited soldiers hadnât completed their training.
Forcing them onto the battlefield with their physical condition was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
But.
Joao understood too.
As Janet had said.
The impending mission to aid Morgan Town would be Frank Manorâs last chance!
If Lynn took Morgan Town and brought the free people into his fold.
With the addition of the three mines and the blacksmith workshop in Lynnâs territory...
And all the farmland already planted.
Even if Frank Manor developed rapidly.
How could it compare to Lynn, who had people, wealth, food, and resources?
Even if Lynn, after taking Morgan Town, didnât attack Frank Manor.
It would only be temporary.
The fate awaiting Frank Manor would be akin to a frog being slowly boiled.
Ultimately, it would face destruction!
Therefore.
This aid mission to Morgan Town, to the Bladewind Group, must go all out, even if itâs a desperate gamble.
Time pressed onward swiftly.
Squad after squad of soldiers stood in the open space within the Manor Castle.
As Joao observed.
A soldier captain, clad in chain armor, approached him.
Bowing, he respectfully reported: "Lord Joao, a total of two thousand manor soldiers have been completely assembled."
"Among them, there are five hundred chain armor cavalry, two hundred chain armor infantry, one hundred archers, and twelve hundred light infantry."
Joao nodded, just about to speak.
He clearly heard a light footstep sound behind him.
Joao turned around to look.
He saw Janet, dressed in a brown tight-fitting leather armor, striding toward him.
Joao went up to her.
Coming beside Janet, he said: "Janet, you can leave the matter of leading troops into battle to me."
Janet glanced at Joao and said: "Uncle Joao."
"If you are defeated, will an empty Frank Manor withstand Lynnâs attack?"
Joao frowned, then shook his head.
Janet continued: "Rest assured, Uncle Joao, I can take care of myself."
After speaking,
Janet walked ahead.
There, rows of assembled soldier formations were waiting.
Despite being under the gaze of two thousand pairs of eyes, Janetâs expression remained unchanged.
Under such an oppressive gaze.
Janetâs eyes scanned the faces of each soldier.
