One must know.
With Hunter from the Riverside Rest Tavern continually coming to his territory to purchase liquor.
A portion of the grain in the territory was invested into the brewing workshop.
Therefore.
The brewing workshop produced a lot of leftover distillersâ grains.
Apart from some used to make distillerâs grain cakes for the townspeopleâs use.
Most of the distillersâ grains were used as feed for the poultry and livestock on the farm.
For omnivorous animals like wild boars, distillersâ grains mixed with some other tuber plants or peas, etc.
Is the best feeding material.
Perfect for fattening up the wild boar piglets.
After arranging things with Guy, Lynn was satisfied and returned to the town as the sky gradually darkened.
The five wild boar farms have been completed and put into use.
The next constructions would naturally be the Pigeon Nest and the Wolfâs Den.
However, with Jode leading the construction workers.
He didnât have to worry too much.
At least, after this period of constructing the wild boar farms.
They have already gained considerable construction experience.
With the construction blueprints available, it wouldnât be difficult for them.
The hardest part is.
The training of wild boars, pigeons, and wild wolves!
Apart from the recently arrived family of Old Simeon, who could train and breed warhorses.
He was still lacking trainers who could handle special wild animals.
If, by the time the wild boar empowerment and breeding are completed, he still hasnât found suitable trainers.
He would have to try doing it himself.
Suppressing these thoughts, he traversed a large piece of farmland.
Lynn returned to Lordâs Square.
Just as he returned to Lordâs Square, a figure quickly approached him.
Lynn looked up to see that it was Gasper, the spy leader previously lurking in Morgan Town!
After the manor in Morgan Town was eradicated by him.
Gasper and his team were dispatched by him to Kakasong City to gather intelligence.
Because they never received proper training in intelligence gathering skills, their abilities were limited.
Therefore.
He did not have Gasperâs team establish an intelligence-gathering center at Hunterâs Riverside Rest Tavern.
Their abilities were more suited to mingling among various crowds to glean information.
Apparently.
Gasper had just returned from outside the territory.
He was panting heavily and was out of breath.
Gasper seemed to remember Lynnâs previous instructions.
He didnât immediately begin to report but instead tried his best to calm his breathing and steady his heartbeat.
Lynn didnât urge him, just quietly waiting.
A minute later.
When Gasperâs breathing had calmed, he began to speak: "Master Lynn, weâve received accurate information!"
"The Emperor of the Karedi Empire, Charlemagne VI, was killed in his sleeping chamber, dying suddenly at dawn four days ago."
Gasperâs words didnât stop, he continued: "The murderer who killed Charlemagne VI is... his second son, Caesar Carolin!"
Lynnâs brows instantly furrowed as he questioned Gasper for confirmation.
"Are you sure of the accuracy of the intelligence source?"
He had to understand.
The Karedi Empire now was in a highly sensitive period due to the struggle over Imperial Authority.
It was very possible rumors were being spread to gain some advantage.
Gasper hesitated not even for a moment, speaking firmly: "Master, the one who delivered the information is a court messenger..."
Lynn nodded without saying a word.
He was only slightly surprised by the murder of Charlemagne VI.
After all.
Charlemagne VI was the Emperor of the Karedi Empire!
An Emperor being murdered in his own sleeping chamber...
Rare, but not unheard of.
The most unimaginable part was.
The one who killed Charlemagne VI was Kai Caesar Carolin!
Compared to Mitchell, who once had the title of âSpear of the Empireâ.
Caesar, being the second son, was indeed much more obscure.
Nevertheless.
Lynn wouldnât choose to underestimate this prince who seldom appeared in the public eye!
He must acknowledge.
Caesar Carolin was trusted and loyally followed by the Duke of Red Dragon, who had the strongest military power among the Three Great Dukes of the Karedi Empire.
That was a heavy cavalry corps that could make the entire Karedi Empire tremble!
Quickly.
A question arose in Lynnâs mind.
Though Caesar Carolin was a second son, he was deeply cherished by Charlemagne VI.
Even in his memories, he clearly recalled.
Charlemagne VI many times openly expressed his admiration for Caesar at banquets.
Lynn even felt that even with Mitchell, the eldest son present.
Charlemagne VI seemed prepared to pass the throne of the Karedi Empire to Caesar.
With the strong military support from the Duke of Red Dragon.
And the affection from the Emperor of the Empire.
What necessity did Caesar have to assassinate a ruler long in the twilight of life like Charlemagne VI?
Lynn was more inclined to believe that the one who killed Charlemagne VI in the sleeping chamber was âSpear of the Empireâ Mitchell!
There must be some huge hidden truth behind this!
However.
The intelligence gathered so far was too limited, allowing him only to speculate this far.
Lynn continued questioning Gasper: "Is there any other intelligence?"
Gasperâs face showed embarrassment as he shook his head: "For now, thatâs all, Master."
Lynn bore no blame, speaking: "Well done, youâve delivered this intelligence back to the territory in a timely manner, now go and rest."
Gasper said no more, replying with a sound, and withdrew.
As he watched Gasper leave, Lynnâs mind was still pondering over the murder of Charlemagne VI.
The Karedi Empire might very well become embroiled in open conflict due to Charlemagne VIâs death.
Causing the simmering struggle for Imperial Authority to ignite directly into war!
Lynn had a vague premonition.
War was coming!
As Lynn mulled over things in his mind.
Under a golden sunset, a long convoy of carriages was approaching Lordâs Square.
Perhaps because he recognized the convoy, Alan, residing at the trade guild house, strutted quickly to Lordâs Square.
Seeing Lynn, Alan immediately approached.
A smile on his face as he said: "Lord, my carriage convoy has returned once again!"
"Having lived on your territory for so long, it seems itâs time to leave."
Lynn nodded, preparing to speak.
Alanâs Guard Commander swiftly dismounted and, with quick steps, approached Alan.
A harried expression and rapid pace.
Alan quickly surmised something.
After signaling to Lynn, he moved toward the Guard Commander.
The Guard Commander went up to Alan, recounting something in his ear...
