Chapter 50: Conquest ( X )

"Long live Lord Rowan—the Lord who resurrected!""Long live Lord Rowan—the Lord who resurrected!"

The voices of the people of Winterseed thundered across the land, chanting the name of their Lord with joy, pride, and admiration thundering from their voices.

Their hands were lifted in the air as they chanted.

The village square became intense following the chants, emotions drifting across.

Rowan observed the villagers chanting his name with a sweet smile on his face. For the first time, he was getting appreciated by a lot of people, the feeling was blissful and something that would stick in his memory forever.

His heartbeat became faster, each beat carrying his joy at this moment. Rowan was so caught up in this emotional moment that he ignored the numerous notifications going off with the system.

D'andre was also shocked as well, while he was a merchant who has been to numerous lands, far greater than Rowan's, he has never felt such a sincerely emotional moment. A moment where everyone adored and worship their Lord as though he was an angel sent out of heaven to save them in time of distress.

Their voices were loud and carried their emotions, their faces bright with heartfelt joy, something that is almost impossible to achieve by powerful emperors and kings!

With the display of emotions of the crowd, D'andre realized that Rowan is actually something else — His territory is weak, his power is low and his village is going through so many crisis but their faith in him did not waver at all and their love were sincere.

'This guy has the potential to surpass other transmigrated lords and gain the supreme reward!' he thought to himself as he observed the happily smiling Rowan.

The chants continued and the mood was really bright.

Rowan enjoyed it for a few more minutes before waving at the villagers as he gave instructions.

"Due to the unavailability of a storehouse, the food will be stored in the spatial storage device gifted to me by my friends and every day a nice portion will be shared amongst everyone to prevent the food from spoiling!" Rowan announced.

The villagers were curious about the strange device that Rowan talked about but they didn't question him. They had just seen food coming out of a portal so they believed that such an item existed as long as Rowan said so. On the other hand, D'andre wondered how Rowan was able to come up with such a cool lie using his name but he didn't voice it out and maintained his cool.

The next two hours were spent distributing food among the people. Everyone received a big portion of food supplies that was more than enough for a day. With the help of the captains and senior cook -Liora and Tiora, the distribution of food became even faster.

As the villagers got their portion of food, they sincerely appreciated Rowan in their heart which earned him large amounts of evolution points by the seconds.

---

Two more hours passed, the villagers had already left to their various homes with their portion while Rowan and the soldiers remained.

Riela, D'andre, and Brandon stayed behind as well.

Rowan had already stored the food supply back in his inventory after the distribution was over. He stored them in a trickish way — He held a ring and stretched his hands towards the mountain-sized food supplies and pretended to chant strange words while sneakily opening his inventory. This simple trick saved him from a lot of explanations and also kick-started his trap for the Judas in their midst.

The soldiers were gathered in the village square waiting for the next order from Rowan.

At a corner of the village square, Rowan could be seen discussing with D'andre.

"You want to buy more??" D'andre asked with eyes widened in shock.

Rowan responded casually, "Yes but that will be after we catch the idiot leaking information to Glenwood."

D'andre could only sigh and nod as he noted to himself for the umpteenth time that Rowan wasn't ordinary.

"Remember the plan we made last night?" Rowan asked.

"Yeah, you want to start it now or after you are done speaking with your soldiers?" D'andre inquired.

"After speaking with them, we need the captains to be present while we make a quick change of plans. The Judas will get the sudden urge to escape and report; then we can catch them," Rowan explained. His plan wasn't that complex or smart, but it was good enough to catch the Judas.

Both of them discussed more before returning to the soldiers.

Rowan gave a lengthy speech to his soldiers, going straight to the point and informing them about their plans to start their attack on Glenwood right away.

"What, right away?!" Bryce was the first to react.

"Lord Rowan, our attack was not scheduled for today? Why the sudden change of plan? Did something happen," Roland asked with concern.

He doesn't doubt the leadership of Rowan but he couldn't help but wonder why an abrupt change was taking place.

The other captains were also curious as well. At this moment, all their status either reflected shock or curious and their faces reflected the same expressions - making it difficult to fish the Judas out.

The soldiers reactions were also the same as the captains — This made Rowan realize that [God's eyes] wasn't that great with character emotions but he didn't stay on that thought, a plan was already in place and that person would be caught soon.

"I can't tell you all the reason for my abrupt change of plan but you will know about it when we get to Glenwood," Rowan let out.

His voice sparked reactions in the soldiers, they began discussing the implication of the abrupt attack. Most of them haven't been to a real war with fellow humans before but they knew that abrupt change of plan could lead to a lot of casualties.

Brandon and the captains tried to talk Rowan out of it but Rowan told them not to worry and trust in him.

They could only relax and pray that their Lord's plan works.

After the clattering calmed down, Rowan announced the new battle strategies. It was a lot different from their previous one. In their previous strategy, they planned to wait for the soldiers to return as usual to claim their weekly cut of the village's harvest and ambush them then use their horses and weapons to charge at the village and catch them at a time when they didn't expect.

While the new plan was a lot chaotic, the captains found some perfect attack pattern that would wreck Glenwood.

"Go home and take this news to your family, gather in the next two hours. We will leave immediately afterwards!" Rowan dismissed the soldiers.

They agreed and left for their homes.

As they left, Rowan gave a signal to D'andre and he nodded before walking towards the back of a tree, out of sight of everyone. He brought out a golden slip and tore it. Immediately, his body was shrouded in a gentle blue glow and he disappeared after a few seconds.

Riela who has been listening to Rowan walked to his side with sadness in her eyes. "Make it back victorious, alright?"

Rowan turned to her and nodded with a charming smile, "Of course I will be victorious. Why will I fail when a sexy lady is waiting for me to make babies with her?" He teased.

Riela blushed profusely but she didn't overly react as she was already used to his teasing, which she cherished.
