Chapter 1107: Chapter 310: Invader? No, Liberator! (6)

Zachary quickly nodded and bent forward, "Thank you, thank you, my lord."

Watching the plate armor soldiers push open the carriage door and enter the castle gate, Zachary felt a slight relief in his heart.

Even if he was a guard of McKinley Manor.

Even if he came to the Viscount’s Castle on the orders of Bruce, the Master of McKinley Manor, to report.

Even though McKinley Manor was a supporter of Viscount Jon Zack.

They still had no status or dignity to speak of!

If the guarding soldiers were willing to announce him, they would do so.

If they were unwilling to announce him, no matter the importance of the matter,

there was no way to enter the Viscount’s Castle or see Jon Zack.

Because McKinley Manor was merely a supporter of Viscount Jon Zack.

In flattering terms, it was a supporter of the Viscount.

In less flattering terms,

they were vassals who needed to present tributes and fulfill various obligations just to survive!

Pushing aside his distractions, Zachary waited patiently.

Until a dozen minutes later.

The side gate of the castle, which had been closed, opened again. It was the plate armor soldier who had entered earlier.

The plate armor soldier glanced at Zachary and said.

"The Viscount has summoned you, quickly follow me inside!"

Zachary raised his eyebrows, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.

Under the watchful eyes of several other plate armor soldiers, Zachary took large strides and walked through the castle gate.

He came to the plate armor soldier who announced him.

Zachary moved his right hand and slipped a shilling into the soldier’s hand.

Zachary smiled broadly, "Thank you, my lord, for the announcement."

Hobs Luke, originally impatient, showed visible surprise on his face.

Slightly feeling the smooth texture and size in his hand, confirming it was a shilling,

Hobs Luke looked at Zachary with appreciation and said,

"Your name is Zachary, right?"

Zachary’s smile remained, and he quickly nodded in response.

"Yes, my lord."

Hobs moved his hand, putting the shilling into his clothes, and spoke with satisfaction.

"Consider yourself lucky to have encountered me leading the soldiers on guard duty."

"If it were the soldier squad leader, you might not have been able to enter the Viscount’s Castle until tomorrow."

"Those squad leaders wouldn’t care what you have to report to the Viscount."

Zachary continued to nod and bow, "Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Captain, my lord..."

Watching Zachary’s actions and hearing his humble words, Hobs felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Follow me, the Viscount is waiting for you in the study."

Zachary dared not utter any unnecessary words and quickly followed Hobs inside the Viscount’s Castle.

Under the guidance of Hobs, the soldier squad leader, they walked through corridors and rounded corners.

A few minutes later,

Zachary stood in front of a set of double wooden doors.

Hobs raised his right hand and gently knocked on the door in front of him.

Knock knock~

Hobs spoke respectfully,

"Master Jon, the messenger guard from McKinley Manor in Boxi Town has been brought here..."

Standing behind Hobs, Zachary felt a heart full of tension.

Even though he had come to Kakasong City with Master Bruce many times,

entering the Viscount’s Castle alone to face Viscount Jon Zack made Zachary’s heartbeat quicken.

Hobs had just finished speaking when a deep response sounded from behind the double wooden doors.

"Enter!"

Hobs quickly extended both hands, pushing open the double wooden doors in front of him.

With a creak, the double wooden doors were slowly pushed open.

Hobs led Zachary into the study.

Following close behind Hobs,

Zachary almost watched Hobs’ heels as they entered the study, not daring to lift his head at all.

When they came in front of a walnut desk cluttered with various documents, Hobs stopped.

Hobs repeated, "Master, the messenger guard has been brought."

Jon Zack, holding the document, slightly raised his head, and plain words came from his mouth.

"Speak!"

Hobs didn’t speak more but turned his body, looking towards Zachary.

Although Viscount Jon Zack only said one word,

it made Zachary feel inexplicably nervous.

Zachary hurriedly began to speak, "Viscount, Zachary was commissioned by Master Bruce..."

A cold voice resounded again from Jon Zack’s mouth.

"Get straight to the point!"

Zachary’s words paused instantly, and he quickly reorganized his thoughts in his mind.

"Viscount, there is a force of more than one thousand five hundred armored cavalry that invaded Boxi Town."

"In one night, the entire Benitez Manor was wiped out!"

"The Manor Lord Devant Benitez and numerous guard peasants were directly slaughtered!"

Originally gazing at the document in his hand, Jon Zack suddenly stopped his reading glance.

Jon Zack’s eyes turned, landing on Zachary across the walnut desk.

"Benitez Manor, was it destroyed by Lynn from Morgan Town?"

Not only Jon Zack,

but also the knight commander Simo standing behind him,

and the soldier squad leader Hobs who brought Zachary into the castle,

all directed their gazes towards Zachary.

Feeling the pressure from everyone’s stares, Zachary’s voice became somewhat tense.

"Yes... yes, Viscount!"

"In one night, Benitez Manor was wiped out by an armored cavalry force."

"Everything in the manor, including guard peasants and various items, was completely cleared and taken away..."

After speaking,

Zachary dared not utter any more unauthorized words, lowering his eyebrows, standing submissively, and waiting for the Viscount to inquire further.

Jon Zack frowned, looked directly at Zachary, and asked in a deep voice.

"Since McKinley Manor knows there is an armored cavalry attacking Benitez Manor,"

"why did Bruce not dispatch guards to provide military assistance to Benitez Manor?"

"Doesn’t he realize that once Benitez Manor is obliterated, the next one likely to be wiped out might be his own McKinley Manor?"

Feeling the anger and coldness in Jon Zack’s words, Zachary’s tension intensified.

As a result, his body slightly trembled, and his words became hesitant.

"Viscount... Viscount... Master Bruce also received information about Benitez Manor’s demise only in the morning..."

"By that time, Benitez Manor had already been breached."

"The armored cavalry was escorting guard peasants, leaving Boxi Town..."

Jon Zack fell silent immediately.

The entire spacious and bright study, surrounded by refreshing incense smoke, suddenly fell quiet.

The oppressive atmosphere,

made the already tense Zachary feel even more pressured.

Jon Zack’s voice resounded again,

"Since Lynn’s armored cavalry has already left Boxi Town,"

"what is the purpose of the Master of McKinley Manor sending you to Kakasong City?"

"Is it just to inform me that another supporter Manor Lord was wiped out by Lynn?"

"Hmm?"

Under this series of questioning,

the terrified Zachary almost uncontrollably knelt down to the ground.

Zachary hastily explained, "Viscount, Zachary is only responsible for delivering the message."

"What Master Bruce intends, Zachary... Zachary truly does not know at all..."
