System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1133 - 315: War Has Finally Arrived (10K)

The same thing.

Also understood the difficulty faced by traveling merchants passing through Kakasong City and driving wagons loaded with goods to Morgan Town.

In Lynn’s heart, he couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of gratitude.

If at that time.

If he hadn’t exchanged goods with the traveling merchants using fine salt priced below market value,

Given the current road conditions, the merchants certainly wouldn’t want to transport goods to his territory!

Indeed.

Profit is a person’s greatest driving force!

Rustle~

Boom~

The sound of branches breaking and a heavy object crashing down echoed in the nearby forest.

As the sound rang out, Lynn had already turned his head to look.

A decades-old ancient tree had been directly felled.

It wasn’t just that one ancient tree.

At the edge of this forest, a firebreak had already been carved out!

A mountain breeze gently blew, ruffling Lynn’s hair and robe.

Lynn lightly sniffed a few times.

The mountain breeze carried the fresh scent of cut wood and a hint of oil’s strange fragrance.

It was then.

Rose, clad in armor, emerged quickly from the forest ahead.

Coming before Lynn, Rose immediately bowed and respectfully said,

"Master!"

Lynn glanced at Rose and asked,

"How is the progress on felling the trees for the firebreak and applying the tree oil?"

Rose quickly responded, "Master, the felling of the firebreak is underway."

"But because the forest stretches at least twenty miles deep,"

"Finishing the felling in two or three days is indeed difficult."

Lynn nodded but said nothing.

With only the axes available at the Manor Castle as tools for felling,

To cut a twenty-mile firebreak in just three days is truly impossible.

Not just because the tools are primitive,

But also because the trunks of these ancient trees are massive.

Almost every tree trunk requires two or three people to encircle it!

Rose continued to speak,

"However, Master, the application of melted tree oil is complete."

"I have instructed the soldiers to apply the melted tree oil on each tree as much as possible..."

Lynn nodded and said, "Deploy more soldiers to speed up the felling of the firebreak as much as possible!"

"Perhaps Jon Zuck’s attack on Morgan Town is not far off..."

Rose quickly replied, "Yes, Master, I will immediately arrange for the soldiers to speed up the felling."

"We’ll strive to complete the felling within the next one or two days!"

Lynn nodded, directly dismissing Rose, and rode into the forest.

Scanning his gaze, Lynn could clearly see figures moving and felling in the forest.

The dull thud of the Iron Axe hitting the tree trunks continually echoed.

Perhaps due to the instructions he just gave Rose,

The thudding sounds became increasingly rapid and rhythmic.

Looking at the towering tree trunks and dense forest...

It truly is possible, as Wesley said,

To set up traps, ambush, and conduct guerrilla warfare in this forest.

Catching Jon Zuck’s army off guard.

But no matter how successful the ambush, how could it be as effective as setting the forest on fire?

While Lynn was observing the forest,

The sound of pounding hooves sounded from behind him.

Lynn and Red turned to look.

Only to see Earl leading a cavalry of nearly a hundred charging from afar.

When Earl saw Lynn ahead of him, he visibly relaxed and exhaled hot breath.

Looking at Earl, Lynn asked,

"Is there something? "

Earl looked slightly embarrassed and explained,

"The patrolling soldiers said, sir, you rode out of Morgan Town."

"Worried about your safety, I’ve come specially to escort you..."

Lynn felt a slight touch in his heart.

Is this the power of being a Lord?

Every move can trigger the protection and vigilance of his soldiers.

Lynn was about to speak when,

A sound of galloping hooves arose in the distant forest.

Unlike the dull sound of hooves on a rocky dirt road,

The forest echoed with the crisp sound of hooves on a stone road.

Therefore, it stood out distinctly.

The sound of hooves drew closer from afar.

Lynn couldn’t help but turn his head to look.

A figure mounted on horseback emerged from behind the cover of the forest trees.

Riding towards the position where Lynn and Earl’s armored cavalry stood.

It wasn’t until the rider was within several dozen meters of Lynn’s sight,

That Lynn finally clearly saw the face of the figure on horseback.

It was Gasper, the captain of the scouts from Kakasong City!

More than an hour ago,

Raoul had just returned to Morgan Town to report the Manor Lord’s and Viscount Chambers’ army gathering in Kakasong City.

Now, Gasper had personally ridden back?

Lynn’s brows instantly furrowed, an ominous feeling rising in his heart.

Under the watchful eyes of Lynn, Red, Earl, and the others,

Gasper came within a dozen meters of Lynn.

Whoa~

Gasper pulled the reins with both hands, attempting to stop the horse beneath him.

With a shout from Gasper, the horse finally came to a halt.

Without any hesitation, Gasper swiftly dismounted, quickly coming to stand before Lynn’s horse.

Bowing in salute, his speech was noticeably breathless as he said,

"Master... Master, it’s bad news!"

"Viscount Jon Zuck has gathered all the guards, peasants, and soldiers within Kakasong City, and is marching toward Morgan Town!"
