14 Occupation of The Oxford City (2/2)

'Must be because of the selfish Count.” I begin contemplating, as I held my chin with my forefinger and thumb in thought.

Ten minutes after, we reach the Manor in the middle of the City without any resistant, this was because the Count almost takes all of his forces away to attack my territory.

From afar, The Manor could be seen by me. The Manor itself is around 40000 square meters and has a 4 meters tall iron fence encircling the Manor. It also has a big garden in all of the Manor's direction.

As I got near the Manor, a dozen or two guards were guarding the gate of the Manor with a spear in their hand.

Seeing that there weren't too many enemies, I begin to launch my attack on the Manor. The robots that were accompanying me begin to draw the High Voltage rifle and followed me from behind, as I march to the guard that was guarding the entrance.

”Stopp… State your identification! I said Sto..” The guard in front was demanding us before he falls convulsing in the ground, as one of the robots fire the weapon.

I was surprised that the guards still don't know the state of the City was in.

Then as they were convulsing, all of the guards got incapacitated and fall unconscious to the ground.

As I got inside the Manor, I don't see much more guard and ordered my robots to capture the Count's family and the inhabitants of the Manor like the servant and the gardener.

The Count has a wife and tons of mistress, he also had two sons but I only manage to capture one, as the other one seems not to be home. As it was quite a trouble to interact with them, I put all of them in the dungeon below the Manor.

Just as all had been taken care of, I decided to do some treasure hunting in the Manor. I send the insect and mouse robots that I bring with me to begin searching the Manor with their sensor and find the treasury.

Not long after, one of the mouse robots find a suspicious place in the Count's workroom.

As I get inside the room, I see two sofas in the middle of the room facing each other with a table between them. There's also a work table and a luxurious chair in the rearmost near the French window.

What the robot scan to be the most suspicious is the bookcases on the right side. The bookcases have 50 or so book place in there.

”A secret door? Interesting.” I mumbled to myself, as I pull the most right-side book that has the word 'Q' on it.

Then, the bookcase got pulled out and a room appeared in front of me. The room was full of treasure and all kinds of equipment.

Seeing the mountain of gold in the treasury, I gulp a mouthful of saliva.

”This… just how long he embezzled his pe... I mean how much time he needed to accumulate this much?” My eyes gleam with the gold in front of me.

”Vonix, calculate the total of gold in this treasury!” I ordered as my hand already rummaging the treasure.

[”Affirmative, Scanning Initiated… Scanning Completed… From the data gathered, there is a total amount of 13274 gold coins, 362 jewelry, and 38 weapons and equipment made of gold and other precious minerals.”] A monotone voice replied calculatingly.

”So many… I'm rich… wait, I don't quite need the money anyway.” I began pondering on how to use this much money.

[”There is also a glass case that seems to contain the 'Sanchez Family's Knight Breathing Technique Manual' inside”] Vonix added.

Then, I take the glass case that was on one of the piles of gold and open it. Inside is a book that contains the Breathing Technique of the Sanchez Family.

As I read inside of the book, I realize that it was capable to make someone achieve 1st Rank Knight but it had worse foundation than what Xendra had, and it limited someone's potential to only be able to reach 1st Rank unless they had a very precious resource to push their cultivation.

After being disappointed by the Manual, I decided to bring it with me since it might be useful somehow in the future.

”Vonix, connect me with Sebas!” suddenly ordered me, as I was thinking something else.

[”Affirmative, Connection Initiated… Connection Establish…”]

”Sebastian, are you there?”

”Yes, what is it, Young Master?” Sebastian replied more calmly than before from the other side.

Then I begin explaining that I beat the Count's army that had invaded yesterday and successfully counterattack and occupied Oxford City.

”Are you serious, Young Master? I don't know that such a thing had been happening yesterday night.” Sebastian's face shows an expression of concern and disbelieving from the other side.

”Anyway, send the officials to Oxford City, as I needed someone to take care of the management of the city,” I ordered while scratching my cheek with my forefinger.

”Yes, as you commanded!”

Then, I cut the connection. As I also receive the report from the robot of the full occupation from the other walls. I also ordered the robots to capture the officials at the city hall in the city.
