System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1150 - 318: Rushing Out of the Sea of Fire (10,000 Words)

Arriving in front of Lynn, Rose hurriedly tugged at the reins in his hand.

The warhorse gradually came to a halt amidst a chorus of neighs.

Rose bent down in salute, respectfully saying,

"Master, the forest exit has turned into a sea of fire."

"So far, no enemy has escaped from it."

Lynn pondered for a moment and spoke,

"Continue to guard the forest exit!"

Rose’s expression became solemn, and he immediately responded,

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing that Lynn had no other instructions,

Rose hesitated no longer, guiding his warhorse and riding away.

Lynn’s gaze shifted back to the distant forest once more.

From the scout’s reports, Jon Zuck’s army was five miles away from the forest exit.

From the time the order to ignite the forest entrance was given,

It had nearly been three hours now.

With the aid of tree resin as a fuel,

and the southwest wind accelerating the fire’s spread,

Three hours was enough for the flames to envelop the entire forest.

As long as the entire forest was set ablaze,

The high temperatures generated by burning the massive trees would be enough to incinerate and carbonize any goods!

Not to mention,

simple flesh and blood.

Lynn’s only concern now was,

Whether Earl and his ten-man ignition team would encounter unforeseen circumstances preventing them from setting the forest entrance aflame.

Causing Jon Zuck to retreat with his army through the forest entrance,

thus leading this forest fire attack to fail.

As soon as this thought emerged,

Lynn dismissed it from his mind.

While Earl did not possess the seasoned combat experience and strategy of Rose and Wesley,

Nonetheless,

waiting in hiding for the army to pass, then leading the ignition team to set the forest ablaze,

was such a simple task,

that Lynn still believed Earl could accomplish it.

The only thing Lynn could do now was to arrange for soldiers to guard the forest exit.

Once any enemies attempted to escape, they were to be immediately shot down.

After the forest fire had burned out and was extinguished, they would then proceed to clear the battlefield.

What regret Lynn felt was that,

the holographic map currently only displayed the holographic projection within the confines of Morgan Town.

Because, this forest was not within Morgan Town’s territory.

...

Hiss~ Hiss~

The raging fire, akin to a sea of molten lava, engulfed the gap between the two mountain peaks.

The blazing light from the flames painted the night sky a shade of orange-yellow.

Whether it was Morgan Town, Kakasong City, or even Lynn Territory adjacent to the Aladia River,

they could clearly witness the unusual change in the night sky.

Amidst a castle surrounded by construction,

Kuisi was directing several maids in tidying the lord’s bedroom.

"Even if the Master is out, there’s always a chance he might return to stay any time."

"The Master has always been particular about cleanliness, ensure his bedroom is thoroughly cleaned."

The maids promptly and respectfully replied,

"Yes, Steward Kuisi!"

Hearing the maids’ uniform response, Kuisi nodded in satisfaction.

Even though the teachings of recent times had made these young maids proficient in household tasks,

even if she only issued a command, the young maids could execute it accurately and efficiently.

Even so,

Kuisi’s brow remained slightly furrowed, her eyes holding a conspicuous trace of worry.

Master Lynn, along with Red and the territory’s commander soldiers, had been away for several days now.

Kuisi naturally felt worried and anxious.

Not only was she concerned about the safety of Master Lynn and Red,

but also about the future of this territory!

This land, which had evolved steadily for over a year, was Master Lynn’s hard work.

It could be said that,

it was Lynn’s presence that transformed this land from nothing to something,

to its present state of prosperity.

However,

without the suppression and garrison of Master Lynn and the large number of armored soldiers,

inevitably, one day,

this territory would fall into internal strife or face attacks from external enemies!

It should be known,

the residents of the territory were originally peasants from various nations, bought by Master Lynn from the slave merchant.

With Master Lynn here, coupled with the superior and affluent life he provided for the residents,

they naturally wouldn’t dare to entertain any inappropriate thoughts.

If Master Lynn was absent from the territory for an extended period, lacking the guarantee of military power,

certainly, there would be those with ulterior motives, seeking to make trouble.

Having managed the trivial matters of the territory for Master Lynn for so long,

Kuisi had long understood that human greed is boundless!

In times of destitution and hunger,

as long as they could have a full meal, even if it was just hard rye bread, they would feel satisfied.

When they were able to have rye bread daily,

they would begin to desire a stable and prosperous life,

craving soft wheat bread and boiled meat in their meals,

wishing to wear comfortable and fitting clothes, and live in houses that shield from the elements.

Once living comfortably and prosperously,

their minds would change, seeking a shift in status, a rise in standing, and ownership of privatized land...

Eventually, it was very likely that,

even the acres of privatized lands rewarded by Master Lynn might not satisfy their desires!

If Master Lynn were here,

With his wisdom, he could effortlessly manage and rule over everyone.

There’d be no worry about whether the residents of the territory harbored ulterior motives.

Kuisi considered herself possessing only a fraction of Master Lynn’s ability!

She did not have enough strength to deal with and suppress those residents with intentions of rebellion.
