Janet’s eyebrow arched, and she questioned skeptically, "Indicate?"
"Uncle Joao, how do you want me to indicate?"
"Do you want me to kneel in front of the grave of the deceased soldiers of Frank Manor and confess?"
"Or do you want me to lead the few soldiers we have to attack Lynn’s walls, as a burial for the fallen soldiers?"
Joao’s face froze, the tone that originally contained reproach slightly relaxed.
"Janet, that’s not what I meant."
Janet stared directly at Joao Frank across from her, questioning, "Uncle Joao, then what do you mean?"
Joao fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But Janet had no intention of stopping and continued speaking.
"I know, those soldiers were trained by you painstakingly."
"You spent more time with them than anyone else in the manor."
"Uncle Joao, what I want to tell you is that while they were your soldiers, they were also the soldiers of Frank Manor."
"They were soldiers cultivated with the grain and money of Frank Manor!"
"Their deaths pain me just as well!"
Joao’s mouth opened slightly, words stuck in his throat.
Janet continued, "Moreover, Uncle Joao, what gives you the right to blame me?"
"When Grandpa Jonas passed, surely the Three Great Estates long oppressed would act against Frank Manor."
"It was I! I found a way to respond, I found Lynn, who came to provide military aid."
"Even though after the battle, Lynn took all the assets of the Three Great Estates."
"But Frank Manor was preserved, and we took control of Morgan Town and all its farmland."
"I am the benefactor of the entire Frank Clan!"
Joao lowered his head, not daring to meet Janet’s gaze.
Thinking it over in his mind, Joao found no flaw in what Janet said.
Joao then raised his head and asked Janet, "Janet, shouldn’t we do something?"
"Lynn killed our soldiers and took the assets that originally belonged to the Three Great Estates!"
Janet did not reply, continuing to eat her salad with a fork.
Seeing Janet’s contemplative expression, Joao remained silent, standing quietly aside.
After a short while.
Janet put down her fork and said, "Of course, we must do something, but not now."
"Uncle Joao, I need you to continue recruiting soldiers."
"Whether they are Free People or the Mercenary Corps."
"Frank Manor needs more soldiers!"
"And, arm them as much as possible, armor, weapons..."
"I need a powerful army to handle future changes."
"All the money to be spent will be covered by Frank Manor!"
Listening to Janet’s instructions, Joao replied firmly, "Yes, Janet."
"I will immediately arrange personnel to go to Morgan Town and Kakasong City to recruit."
"And then, I will personally seek the Mercenary Corps!"
Janet nodded, then dismissed Joao.
Meanwhile, her mind began to contemplate.
The military strength of Frank Manor had been too severely depleted.
The urgent task now was not to consider how to hold Lynn accountable or attack him.
But to recruit soldiers with all might, strengthen military power, to face Lynn!
Considering his previously demonstrated military power, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, archers...
Overthrowing Frank Manor as it stood would not be difficult!
The more critical point is.
Up to now, she still didn’t know how strong Lynn’s military strength was.
This is what was truly unsettling and terrifying.
