Chapter 1270: Chapter 338: Furious Giant Bear Corps (10,000)

Ludovico’s powerful words echoed in the meeting room, resonating in the ears of Gaius and the others.

Gaius slightly relaxed his grip on Ludovico’s robe collar with his right hand and let go. He sat on the wooden chair, somewhat despondent and dazed.

Ludovico showed no anger, straightened his collar slightly, and glanced at Megan and the others once more.

"Gentlemen, we all believe that Mr. Gaius has done nothing wrong."

"We have no right to mock Mr. Gaius."

"More importantly, don’t think that only Mr. Gaius has faced such misconduct."

"Many others present and many free nobles in the city have not been spared from this misfortune!"

Listening to Ludovico’s words, the expressions of a few were filled with solemnity.

It seemed as if they were recalling.

Recalling whether their wives and daughters, like Gaius’s wife, often went to the Church for evening prayers.

Whether they prayed late into the night or returned home only in the early hours of the next day...

Gaius, who was sitting dazedly on the wooden chair, seemed to have made up his mind.

He suddenly looked up at Ludovico and spoke resolutely.

"Sir Ludovico, what... what do you think we should do now?"

Upon hearing this, Ludovico looked at Gaius for a moment and then turned to look at Megan and the others.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes in the meeting room were focused on him.

Ludovico said in a deep voice, "We must contend with Simo for the leadership position of Kakasong City!"

"Even if it ultimately leads to war with Simo and the Church!"

"We will not hesitate!"

Surprise appeared on the faces of Megan and the four others.

Megan was the first to speak, "Wage war?"

"If it’s merely a District Church in Kakasong City, with its hundreds of Church Guards..."

"All our free nobles, wealthy merchants, and others gathering their own Guards might still have a chance to fight."

"But Sir Ludovico, Simo is backed by the entire Church and the Holy Temple Knight Corps!"

"Sir Ludovico, how can we oppose such power with our strength?"

The three with Gaius widened their eyes again, looking at Ludovico, awaiting his answer.

Ludovico’s expression remained calm as he responded serenely.

"As for Simo and his District Church Guards, we naturally do not need to worry."

"As for the Church headquarters and the Holy Temple Knight Corps mentioned by Lady Megan..."

"We have even less cause for concern!"

Megan did not continue speaking but furrowed her brow and remained silent.

Ludovico explained, "Firstly, the Karedi Empire is currently engulfed in a battle for imperial authority!"

"Whether it is the Royal Family, the Great Lords, or the Church..."

"All are undergoing a massive reshuffling of power, striving desperately for land and wealth!"

"How could they possibly be interested in a wild little town on the Southern Border?"

"Even if the Church headquarters received a request for help from Simo."

"Do you think the Church headquarters would dispatch the Holy Temple Knight Corps to suppress Kakasong City for such a small issue?"

Ludovico paused, then continued,

"Gentlemen, Kakasong City is poor, very poor!"

"Were it not for Kakasong City lying on a tributary of the Rhine River, with nearby farmland using the river’s water for irrigation..."

"Were it not for the presence of Fisherman’s Wharfs..."

"Were it not for traveling merchants navigating longships to bring goods for trade..."

"Kakasong City would be even poorer!"

Megan and the others remained silent.

Ludovico continued, "The crucial point is..."

"Not long ago, I went to Morgan Town and found a formidable external aid."

At this, the thoughts in Megan’s mind turned rapidly.

"Morgan Town? Formidable external aid?"

The next instant.

Megan realized something and quickly spoke,

"Sir Ludovico, are you referring to Lynn Blake, Lord of Morgan Town?"

The faces of the three with Gaius were equally filled with surprise.

Ludovico calmly answered, "That’s right!"

"The very one called ’Fire of Lorraine’ by the residents of Kakasong City, Lynn Blake, Lord of Morgan Town!"

"I have met with Lynn for face-to-face discussions and reached a final cooperation agreement."

"Lynn has promised me that if the free nobles of Kakasong City encounter a conflict with the Church..."

"Lynn will immediately provide military support to the free nobles of Kakasong City!"

Megan raised an eyebrow, just about to speak, but Ludovico took over the conversation.

Ludovico continued speaking, "Perhaps, gentlemen, you may not know what kind of military strength Lynn possesses!"

"I can tell you about it..."

"Lynn currently has a large number of armored soldiers."

"Armored heavy cavalry, light cavalry, heavy infantry, and even longbowmen."

"According to my preliminary estimate, Lynn has at least three thousand armored soldiers!"

Gasp~

Hearing the numbers Ludovico mentioned, the few sitting on wooden chairs couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

Ludovico’s gaze swept around, and he continued,

"Gentlemen, this is just my preliminary estimate! In reality, the numbers are only greater."

"Most importantly, this is just the count of Lynn’s armored soldiers."

"Lynn also has a large number of unarmored soldiers!"

Megan and the others fell silent immediately.

They understood.

As a noble of Kakasong City, Sir Ludovico would naturally not need to deceive them or exaggerate.

Lynn terminated all the Manors in Morgan Town, achieving complete unification.
