Not only Hubert, but the two men beside him.

Rose, Boer, and even the guards standing by were all stunned.

They never dreamed that this seemingly young Lord could be so decisive and ruthless!

He didn't even need their confession!

Lynn's tall figure stood straight, gazing down at the long-haired man, "A count of ten!"

Feeling the oppressive aura from the young Lord.

Hubert's body involuntarily trembled, yet he still asked in horror, "Lord, what count of ten?"

Lynn spoke calmly, "Ten."

"Lord, we came to join you!"

"Nine."

Hubert continued unwillingly, "Lord, if you don't welcome us, we can leave now!"

"Eight."

"Lord, what do you mean by this?"

"Seven."

Hubert's face stiffened, and his eyes quickly darted around.

"Six."

Hubert continued, "Lord, we're leaving now."

In his words.

He wanted to stand up.

However, a blood-stained scimitar fell upon his shoulder.

Hubert even felt the sticky, moist sensation at his neck.

He knew it was Crab's blood.

"Five!"

The countdown continued.

Lynn's pressure became increasingly apparent.

Hubert could even hear the rapid breathing from the two men beside him, growing tense.

"Four!"

Thoughts raced through Hubert's mind.

"Three!"

The next second.

A light shone in Hubert's eyes, and he looked around, shouting desperately.

"Murder!"

"Everyone, come look, the Lord is killing someone!"

"We're just..."

The townsmen glanced casually and then returned to their tasks.

Lynn casually glanced at Hubert, the countdown uninterrupted.

"Two!"

Just as Lynn's words fell, a tremulous voice rang out.

"I'll talk, don't kill me, I'll talk..."

Attempting to attract the townsmen's attention, Hubert's face suddenly stiffened.

He turned to Hiro, eyes wide, full of threat.

Lynn smiled faintly, looking at Hiro, "It seems someone still wants to live."

Lynn's gaze shifted again to Hubert, "Even though he is willing to speak... I'm happy to give you one more chance to explain."

Hubert's face stiffened, his words faltering, "I... we..."

"We are... from the Storm Mercenary Corps..."

Lynn's brow furrowed, "Continue."

Hearing Lynn's voice, Hubert finally sighed in his heart and continued.

"We are from the Storm Mercenary Corps, ordered to infiltrate your territory to assess your forces."

"How many soldiers, what equipment they have, and if it's possible to incite the peasants in rebellion within your land!"

"Even from within, dismantle your land's military might!"

Lynn responded, "On whose orders?"

Since he began speaking, Hubert had no more scruples.

"On the orders of the Iron Blood Brotherhood!"

Hearing this, Lynn's brow raised instantly.

And behind him, Boer's face was full of astonishment.

"Your Storm Mercenary Corps follows the orders of a Bandit Corps?"

With that, Boer realized he had overstepped and quickly bowed to Lynn to apologize.

Seeing Lynn, the Lord, waiting for his response.

Hubert answered Boer's question, "Yes, under orders from the Iron Blood Brotherhood. As for why, I, as a small leader, do not know!"

"However, I heard our leader reached some agreement with the other side."

"As for what kind of agreement, I also do not know."

Lynn continued to ask, "How many of you are there in total now?"

Hubert wanted to conceal the truth, but ultimately gave up, "At least three hundred plus!"

He added another sentence, "Cavalry."

Lynn nodded.

Seeing Lynn's expression, Hubert hopefully said, "Lord, I've said everything, what should and shouldn't be said."

"Can we leave now?"

Lynn spoke, "Of course, Rose, send them on their way."

Rose beside him responded, "Yes, Master."

Hearing Lynn's words, hope appeared on the faces of Hubert and the other two.

Until now.

Hubert no longer cared about betrayal or not.

Even if he didn't speak, Hirovorn under the threat of death would confess without hesitation.

As long as they could leave this land.

Whether they could return to the Storm Mercenary Corps afterward no longer mattered.

As long as they could live!

Under the lead of Rose and a dozen guards, Hubert gradually headed out into the distance.

The corpses and blood on the ground had been cleaned up.

However.

The bloodstains on the limestone road would take a long time to fade away.

Lynn turned his body to look at Boer, before he could speak.

Boer kneeled directly on the limestone road, "Master Lynn, it was my lapse that allowed these spies to infiltrate your territory..."

"Fortunately, Master Lynn, your insightfulness prevented them from doing anything, otherwise the consequences... would be unimaginable!"

Lynn smiled faintly, "Get up, Mr. Boer."

"This is something beyond your preventative capabilities."
