System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 765 - 253: Direct Execution (10,000 Words)
"One arrow is not enough, then ten!"
Wesley did not hesitate at all, quickly responding, "Yes, master!"
Upon his command being given, Wesley waved his arm, and a squad of archers swiftly moved forward.
They did not hesitate at all and directly set up and drew their bows.
The fully drawn longbows produced a series of subtle ’buzzing’ sounds.
Looking behind the heavy infantry, the archers held triangular armor-piercing arrows, aiming at him.
Joao shouted, "Lord Lynn, I, Joao Frank, challenge you to a fair duel!"
Surrounding Joao, the soldiers, as well as Rose and Wesley, all stared wide-eyed at Lynn.
Lynn’s expression remained calm.
"Shoot him directly!"
Listening to Lynn’s ongoing unwavering orders, Joao continued to provoke.
"Lynn, is this your demeanor as a lord?"
"Now I am a trapped beast, with no escape."
"You still don’t dare face me?"
This time.
Lynn said nothing.
Nor did he need to give Wesley any more orders.
Wesley directly spoke, "Aim!"
A dozen archers aimed at Joao.
Wesley spoke again, "Shoot!"
His voice had just fallen.
A sharp sound rang out, shooting towards Joao, surrounded by heavy infantry.
Joao’s eyes widened, unable to continue provoking Lynn, lifting his two-handed greatsword to block the arrows.
In just two seconds.
The first round of arrows ended.
Joao wanted to speak, but he seemed to feel the pain in his body.
Joao slightly lowered his head and glanced down.
His body was already pierced with five or six arrows.
Joao released his grip on the sword hilt, one by one, pulling out the arrows in his body.
Each time he pulled one out, blood gushed from the wound.
When all the arrows were pulled out by Joao, his right hand moved, taking off the iron helmet.
A face covered in blood, whether his own or the enemy’s, came into view of everyone.
Joao sneered again, "Ha~ ha~"
"This alone cannot kill me!"
Wesley’s brow furrowed, ordering again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Joao no longer had his two-handed greatsword to defend.
All fifteen arrows plunged into his body.
This time.
Joao had no more taunting words, his body stiffening, falling backward.
His massive, bloodshot eyes stared straight at the night sky above.
Even in death, they did not close.
Lynn withdrew his gaze from Joao’s corpse, speaking to Rose and Wesley.
"Combine cavalry, infantry, and archers."
"Advance swiftly with minimal casualties!"
"Inform them that Joao Frank has been shot dead by a hail of arrows!"
Rose and Wesley responded promptly, "Yes, master."
Responding with a word.
The two retreated, continuing to lead and command their soldiers in combat.
News of Joao Frank’s death spread quickly among the soldiers.
Whether the heavy cavalry charge, the heavy infantry advance, or the archers’ rain of arrows!
Or using various tactics and strategies!
All of it was to win the battle with minimal loss!
All the soldiers and warhorses were gathered through a lot of effort or money.
Lynn would certainly not raise his soldiers’ mortality rate for the sake of so-called ’honor’!
These soldiers were willing to become soldiers for their families, for the homes behind the walls, for their lord.
To train, enter the battlefield, and fight the enemy head-on.
Though they were soldiers.
They were also husbands to wives, fathers to children, and sons to parents.
As a lord, he brought these soldiers out.
He naturally would do everything possible to bring them back!
As for Joao Frank’s ’fair duel’.
He paid it no heed.
Why bring uncertainty and even life-threatening danger close for the sake of demonstrating strength?
That would be ignorance!
Even if he had copied Joao’s [talents] and [skills], exceeding Joao in power.
He had no intention to show off.
His drive to grow stronger was mainly for self-preservation!
Moreover.
Fairness won’t sprout from someone’s words.
Only by possessing absolute power does one have the qualification to demand fairness!
Lynn continued riding on Mo Ying’s back, gazing forward at the battlefield.
When Rose and Earl, led the heavy cavalry into Frank Manor’s soldier ranks.
He realized.
This war wouldn’t last long.
Frank Manor’s soldiers, before the heavy cavalry, were like lambs to slaughter, utterly powerless.
The reason for this.
Obviously, because of the previous attack by the united Three Great Estates, which weakened Frank Manor.
They need substantial time to train up a qualified armed force.
He originally planned to use Frank Manor to keep Morgan Town’s townsmen on this land.
Frank Manor chose to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
He had no choice but to wage war against Frank Manor!
The arrival of Blade Wind Corps was indeed a bit unexpected.
Fortunately.
His prior development, step by step, had paid off.
The armed force he possessed was strong enough.
Everything was under control!
Before Lynn.
The battlefield, once dominated by slaughter, saw Frank Manor’s soldiers learning of Joao Frank’s death.
Realizing that surrendering disarmed would make them prisoners.
The remaining two or three hundred manor soldiers didn’t hesitate to drop their weapons.
Their involvement in Frank Manor was naturally for work, for future life.
But the current situation made them understand survival was more important!
Several minutes later.
Rose led his warhorse to Lynn’s side.
"Master!"
"The remaining manor soldiers have all disarmed and surrendered."
"However, I didn’t find Manor Lord Janet Frank among them."
"A prisoner claimed she rode off alone on horseback..."
Lynn nodded, speaking to Rose.
"Lead five hundred soldiers, escort these prisoners back to Morgan Town for detention."
"And tally up the current people and property in Morgan Town."
Rose responded without hesitating, "Yes, master!"
Lynn turned his gaze towards the distant darkness and continued.
"Everyone else, follow me to Frank Manor!"
Behind him, Wesley and Red, along with all the soldiers, responded.
"Yes, Lord!"
As the voices fell.
A group of people marched mightily towards the distant Frank Manor.
