System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1134 - 315: War Has Finally Arrived (10,000 Words) (3)
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
"Based on the distance between Kakasong City and this place, and the speed of the marching army..."
"At most by tomorrow morning... No, by tonight, they can enter this forest!"
As expected!
Just as he conjectured.
Gasper’s sudden return definitely means there are urgent reports to deliver.
Lynn’s heart hardened, he gazed directly at Gasper and asked.
"Have you tallied the number of troops summoned by Viscount Jon Zuck?"
Gasper hurriedly replied, "Lord, the army consists of a large number of guards and peasants."
"The exact number is something Gasper cannot ascertain."
"But Gasper is sure there are at least ten thousand!"
Lynn pondered for a moment, then decisively spoke to Earl behind him.
"Earl, pass my instructions."
"Have Rose cease cutting the isolation strip, and quickly withdraw from the forest, gathering at the clearing in front of it!"
"Meanwhile, arrange for the soldiers to return to the Manor Castle."
"Have Wesley deploy all soldiers, cavalry, infantry, archers from the Manor Castle, and gather likewise at the clearing in front of the forest!"
Seeing that Lynn had no further instructions, Earl quickly responded.
"Yes, Lord!"
Earl immediately sprang into action.
Arranging soldiers to enter the forest and notify Rose within.
Simultaneously dispatching cavalry, to return immediately to Morgan Town Manor Castle.
The distance from this forest to Morgan Town and the Manor Castle, requires nearly half an hour by horseback!
Once swiftly arranged, Earl’s gaze returned to Lynn.
Protecting the Lord while awaiting any possible directives.
Lynn gripped the reins tightly, moved his right arm, turned the direction of the horse, lightly tapped the horse’s belly.
Urging the horse, stepping towards the forest edge.
Red, Gasper, Earl, and the armored cavalry followed closely.
Arriving at the vast field of weeds.
Lynn gazed deeply at the vast forest ahead, thoughts swiftly swirling through his mind.
War has finally arrived!
This forest and the weed-covered land beneath his feet will become the battleground between his forces and Jon Zuck’s army!
No matter the ultimate outcome of this war.
The situation between Morgan Town and Kakasong City will change drastically.
If Lynn wins this war.
Then the entire Kakasong City and surrounding Lords can no longer constrain his territory’s and Morgan Town’s development and expansion!
If an opportunity arises.
He might control the entire Kakasong City and neighboring towns in his hands.
Large tracts of land and a vast workforce will be at his disposal.
His territory’s workforce and development will experience explosive growth once again!
If Jon Zuck wins this war...
Lynn has never thought that Jon Zuck could win!
Not because of blind confidence.
But because of the military strength and extensive preparations Lynn has made.
Providing Lynn with powerful confidence!
While Lynn’s thoughts raced.
Rose led the soldiers quickly out from the forest.
Upon seeing Lynn on horseback in the distance, Rose promptly approached.
Standing before Lynn, Rose’s face showed urgency, asking.
"Master, the soldiers informed me..."
Before Rose could finish, Lynn interrupted.
"Captain Gasper has reported that Viscount Jon Zuck is leading a large army marching towards Morgan Town."
"There is no time for burning isolation strips now."
"Await Wesley bringing the army here, swiftly reorganize the soldier ranks..."
"Prepare for battle!"
If there was enough time, Lynn would naturally have preferred Rose and the soldiers to cut the forest’s isolation strips.
As the territory and Morgan Town continue to develop and expand, a large amount of timber will surely be needed!
For house construction, shipbuilding, crafts production, military defense, even agricultural production and daily consumption...
The most crucial is—environmental protection!
From Lynn’s territory to its deep roots, ongoing development.
Nearby Morgan Town has already become Lynn’s foundational base.
No matter how it develops in the future, it will certainly center on Morgan Town, expanding and radiating outward.
Every aspect must be considered.
But the war waits for no one!
No matter how it develops later, Lynn must still overcome the immediate crisis!
Rose’s expression turned resolute, quickly responded.
"Yes, Master!"
Amidst large swaths of harvested farmland.
Two armored cavalry rode horses galloping on the gravel and mud road.
Phew~ Phew~
Perhaps because they learned Jon Zuck is leading a large army to attack.
Or perhaps because of the physical exertion from horseback riding.
Rapid breathing, emitted from the mouths of these two cavalrymen, echoing inside their full face helmets.
Through the helmet’s eye slits, the cavalrymen’s gaze fixed straight on the road ahead.
Upon seeing farmers pushing two-wheeled carts on the road.
The two cavalrymen couldn’t help but shout loudly: "Make way! Make way!"
"Urgent message from the Lord! Clear the way!"
The farmers transporting barley stalks were shocked.
Rushed to push their two-wheeled carts to the edge, avoiding.
But because of their panic, the carts tumbled into the fields.
The cavalry did not pause, further accelerating the horses beneath them.
Upon seeing this, the farmers on the road promptly avoided.
Hya Hya Hya~
Amidst the cavalry’s urging calls, under the puzzled gazes of the peasants, the two cavalrymen entered the Manor Castle.
