A messenger cavalry arrives with a letter from Marquis Mark Duca, appointing Godfrey as the supreme commander of Spirit Reef Port and promising reinforcements. However, Godfrey is concerned, viewing the appointment as a potential disaster given the depleted state of their forces and the imminent threat from Marquis Polk.

Danke originally thought that Marquis Mark Ducas wanted to give Godfrey the authority to command all the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers.

In doing so, to better lead the soldiers in defensive battles.

But he never expected.

If Spirit Reef Port were to fall and be defeated.

Marquis Mark Ducas merely intended to make Godfrey bear the consequences of defeat!

Thinking of this.

An inexplicable anger rose in Danke’s heart.

Then what about all the efforts Godfrey had made before?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Danke looked towards Godfrey and asked.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Godfrey gave Danke a glance, pondering for a moment.

"What to do..."

"After handing the letter to Lord Lawrence."

"Continue to organize the soldiers to construct and repair defensive works, ready to respond to Marquis Polk’s army’s attack at any time."

"If, as Marquis Mark Ducas said, we can wait for military support from other allies, Spirit Reef Port might still be saved."

"If not..."

"The three thousand Sword and Shield Corps soldiers of the Ducas Clan will be forever buried in the land outside Spirit Reef Port!"

Danke’s pupils shrank instantly.

...

The following morning.

Lynn woke up from the familiar big bed.

What met Lynn’s eyes was Janet’s face, tinged with crimson and with traces of tears at the corners.

Thinking of last night’s scene, Lynn couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

After observing Janet’s sleeping posture for a moment, he got up from the big bed.

Lynn donned a comfortable silk robe and walked out of the bedroom.

With Kuisi’s attentive service, he finished breakfast.

Lynn, accompanied by Red, walked out of the castle, heading straight towards the Handicraft Workshop District.

Perhaps because the residents of the territory hadn’t seen their Lord for some time.

Now seeing him again, the residents all stopped in their tracks, bowing to Lynn in greeting.

From their mouths came calls filled with awe.

"Lord!"

"Lord..."

Lynn’s gaze swept over the residents of the territory, and he nodded slightly in response.

At the same time, Lynn opened the Attribute Panel of the residents and checked.

Even though Lynn had left the territory for some time.

The loyalty value of these residents had not decreased but increased!

Under the watchful eyes of the territory’s residents, Lynn passed through several Red Brick Houses and entered the Handicraft Workshop District.

Just as Lynn arrived in front of the Blacksmith Workshop, Ehrelo happened to come out of it.

Seeing Lynn, Ehrelo, with dust on his face, immediately showed a delighted smile.

"Master Lynn? Wonderful! You finally returned!"

Lynn rolled his eyes at Ehrelo, speaking.

"If I didn’t return, wouldn’t your Blacksmith Workshop have continued resting?"

"Doesn’t that suit your fancy?"

Ehrelo was startled and hurriedly explained.

"Master, we are very satisfied with the rest time you gave us."

"Naturally, we dare not be greedy and continue to rest."

"If Master allows us to rest any longer, our forging skills might become rusty..."

Lynn shifted the topic and asked.

"How is the progress on dismantling the six smelting blast furnaces?"

Listening to Master Lynn’s words, Ehrelo’s expression became serious as he replied.

"Master, the dismantling of the smelting blast furnaces has entered the final stage."

"Ehrelo assures you that by the end of today, everything will be dismantled, and we can start constructing the reflector furnaces you mentioned tomorrow!"

Lynn stepped inside the Blacksmith Workshop, his gaze sweeping over the dismantling site.

Just as Ehrelo had said.

The main bodies of the six smelting blast furnaces had already been dismantled.

The blacksmith apprentices were proceeding with the cleanup process.

However.

To complete the dismantling by today.

Ehrelo would have to lead the blacksmith apprentices in working overtime.

Retracting his gaze from the dismantling site, Lynn paced around the Blacksmith Workshop.

Due to most blacksmith apprentices being ordered by Lynn to rest.

The several Blacksmith Workshops appeared somewhat empty and quiet.

The halting of forging production at the workshop is only temporary.

Once the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace is constructed, all the blacksmith apprentices will immediately return to forging production.

However.

The demand Gavin proposed to Lynn, for the forging and production of heavy plows needed for land cultivation in Morgan Town, could only be postponed.

Leaving Ehrelo to continue leading the blacksmith apprentices in the final stages of dismantling labor.

Lynn strode out of the Blacksmith Workshop.

Passing through several workshops, Lynn arrived at the weaving workshop and stepped inside.

Lynn’s gaze moved, observing the workers laboring in the workshop.

The main activity in the weaving workshop now remains the stitching of armor plates, which are then coupled with the cast chest armor.

Crafting composite padded and plate armor suits.

Apart from the stitching and crafting of composite armor.

There were also batches of workers engaged in textile production.

For example, processing the linen planted in the territory, through the retting process and other procedures, then weaving it into linen cloth.

And then turning the linen cloth into clothing needed by the territory’s residents.

It’s vital to note.

There are 22,000 laborers in Lynn’s territory now.

It is still early autumn.

The temperature during the day and night remains above ten degrees.

As long as the territory residents begin laboring at their respective posts.

The warmth from their bodies drives away the approaching chill.

However.
