System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1027 - 297: Ready for War

"I had the chance to see the Guard Captain Theron of the Louis Manor."

"He, Theron, bound and dragged, is among the convoy escorted by the cavalry army!"

Lorenzo responded: "I understand, I will report to Helena Manor Lord immediately."

"You may withdraw for now."

Neil’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something.

But sensing the coldness in Lorenzo’s words, he ultimately chose to abandon it.

He is merely a patrol guard of Alba Town.

His duty is only to patrol, maintain the joint rule of the five Manor Lords over Alba Town.

Or deal with small groups of bandits invading Alba Town, suppress them.

Or.

Encounter a crisis they cannot withstand, promptly dispatch personnel to report to the five Manors.

That is all.

As for whether the five Manors will provide support, that is not his concern.

Neil bowed slightly to Lorenzo and withdrew.

Returning to his horse, he mounted it, riding back the way he came.

Lorenzo stood there, watching Neil ride away, only then did he look away.

Turning around, he stepped into the manor house, climbed the stairs to the third floor.

Lorenzo’s mind was quickly judging the truth of Neil’s words.

Being a patrol guard of the town

naturally, Neil wouldn’t deceive Helena Wells Manor Lord.

Because the cost of death is far beyond what Neil can bear.

Ascending the stairs, reaching the third floor of the manor house, he turned past the carved wooden railing.

Lorenzo stopped in front of a double wooden door inlaid with gold coins.

Raising his right hand, he knocked rhythmically on the wooden door.

Knock knock~

Lorenzo breathed in slightly, speaking respectfully.

"Madam Helena, Guard Captain Lorenzo has urgent matters to report to you."

After speaking.

Even though no response came from the double wooden door.

Lorenzo did not knock again but waited quietly.

A few seconds later.

A woman’s voice, with some laziness, sounded behind the wooden door.

"Come in, Guard Captain Lorenzo, the door isn’t locked."

Lorenzo replied, "Yes, Madam Helena!"

With Helena’s permission, Lorenzo then extended both hands, gently pushing open the double wooden door in front of him.

As soon as he opened it.

A mist with a faint herbal scent similar to wormwood drifted out, entering Lorenzo’s nose and mouth.

Lorenzo lowered his head, stepping into the room.

The corner of his eyes slightly moved, glancing at the nearly smoke-filled bedroom.

Upon seeing the beautiful figure leaning on a wooden chair, legs crossed on the walnut desk.

Lorenzo hurriedly went forward, standing opposite the desk.

He slightly raised his head, using the light from the window, glanced at the beautiful figure opposite.

Wearing an indigo satin robe, the belt at the waist revealed curves like an hourglass.

The full and rounded neckline embroidered with gold threads was bulging.

The cleavage between the exposed white peaks was deep and unseen.

Long white legs strikingly entered Lorenzo’s sight.

If not crossed and resting on the desk.

The scenery beneath the robe’s hem would be completely visible!

Added to the delicate white egg-shaped face, the amber eyes full of depth and hesitation.

Along with the high, perfectly shaped nose, moist and red lips...

Just one glance.

One can feel the mature charm that only mature women possess.

Especially.

At this moment the mature woman, holding a slender pipe with her right hand, inhaling and exhaling smoke.

Her left arm wrapped in front, making the already full and prominent white even more pronounced.

Despite the infinite allure of the mature woman on the wooden chair.

Lorenzo glanced briefly, then quickly looked away and bowed his head.

Lorenzo bent over, speaking respectfully.

"Madam Helena, I have urgent matters to report to you immediately."

His demeanor was drastically different from when he faced Neil earlier.

Under the wormwood smoke, Helena Wells’ eyes squinted a bit. She exhaled the smoke.

With a magnetic, moderately paced voice, Helena spoke.

"Go ahead."

With Helena’s permission, Lorenzo immediately explained.

"Madam Helena, a patrol guard from Alba Town came to your manor house to report."

"They reported a foreign threat, a cavalry army of two thousand unknown heavy cavalry passing by the edge of Alba Town!"

"Alba Town faces the threat of foreign enemies, Madam Helena and other Manor Lords need to immediately gather soldiers for support."

After speaking, seeing that Helena had no response, Lorenzo continued.

"The patrol guard also reported that Louis Manor has been overrun by the cavalry army!"

"Louis Manor’s Guard Captain, guards, peasants, and all manor goods became trophies of the cavalry army."

Still inhaling and exhaling wormwood smoke, Helena asked in surprise.

"Louis Manor?"

Lorenzo hurriedly replied, "Yes, Madam Helena!"

"The guard assured me it was indeed Louis Manor!"

Helena fell silent again.

Lorenzo slightly raised his head, looking at Helena again.
