System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1268 - 337: Sir Is Laughing at Your Foolishness (10K)_5

After completing the recruitment and selection of soldiers, Rose came before Lynn.

Rose respectfully said, "Master."

"According to your instructions, one thousand soldiers have been selected!"

Lynn looked at the new group of burly men that had appeared in front of the farmer team.

"Very good!"

"Starting tomorrow, lead them in military training."

"Train them into qualified soldiers as soon as possible."

"I need more soldiers for territorial defense and future external conquests!"

Rose bowed slightly and saluted again.

"Yes, Master."

Lynn responded with a nod, glanced at the completely darkened sky, and got up from the wooden chair.

With Rose and Wilbur seeing him off, he walked towards the distant castle.

Including the one thousand soldiers just selected.

The total number of soldiers and guards in the territory has reached six thousand.

Compared to other great lords with hundreds of thousands of armored troops deployed at will,

it is naturally a drop in the ocean.

However, in a small southern border city like Kakasong City, it is already a force of considerable magnitude!

One must know.

A small town manor lord, with guards and peasants altogether, usually amounts to only about fifteen hundred to two thousand people.

Even Viscount Jon Zuck previously,

only had a thousand armored soldiers and a thousand unarmored or cloth-armored soldiers!

What Lynn needs to do now is to continue cultivating and planting in the territory to harvest more grain while.

Ensuring that the grain is sufficient to meet everyone’s needs,

he will recruit soldiers crazily, forge armor and weapons madly, and purchase or seize warhorses violently...

to build an iron flood of a million troops!

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Lynn returned to the castle.

After enjoying the dinner specially cooked and prepared by the cook with the service of Kuisi and Janet,

Lynn entered the study.

He needed to continue drafting the optimized armor forging production drawings for the soldiers.

Once the double-chamber reflector furnace is built and begins iron production and smelting,

Lynn will need the blacksmith apprentices to immediately forge steel armor according to the drawings he designed!

In the study.

Perhaps because of breezes slipping in from the window edges or the cracks under the wooden door,

the flame of the oil lamp on Hu Tao Hu’s table flickered.

The orange-yellow light gently swayed and flickered.

As Lynn continued drafting the drawings.

The night grew deeper.

...

Under the night shroud of Kakasong City.

In a spacious meeting room illuminated by the oil lamps on the walls.

Five or six figures of varying builds, dressed in luxurious robes, sat around a round table.

Candlesticks placed on the round table burned, casting light on their faces.

Ludovico Dons reclined in the chief seat wooden chair.

Using the candlelight’s glow, he scanned the five men and women before him.

Ludovico’s mouth slightly opened, inhaling a breath of air full of candle smoke and sweat, frowning, he said.

"You all must have guessed why I, Sir, have summoned you for a late-night discussion meeting, right?"

Hearing Ludovico’s deep words, the five men and women either remained silent or slightly lowered their heads in response.

Ludovico didn’t mind and continued to speak.

"Simo has already started recruiting soldiers from the Church’s believers."

"As far as I know, the number of believer soldiers recruited is at least over two hundred."

Seeing the indifferent expressions of the five men and women, Ludovico frowned deeply, saying.

"What?"

"Your expressions seem unfazed?"

Hearing Ludovico’s words, the five free nobles at the round table all frowned slightly.

Among them, a middle-aged woman in a deep purple long robe with a low neckline, exposing most of her white chest.

Leaning her body forward, she braced her arms on the table.

The slightly sagging white cleavage caught everyone’s eyes.

However,

Megan Edwin, the middle-aged woman, didn’t mind at all, looking directly at Ludovico, she spoke.

"Sir Ludovico, I know... no, we all know!"

"You’ve coveted the position of Kakasong City’s new leader for a long time."

"Even when Jon Zuck was ruling over Kakasong City, you secretly made many small moves..."

Seeing Ludovico remain silent, Megan continued to speak.

"Of course, because you didn’t touch our family’s interests, it naturally has nothing to do with us."

"The reason we accepted your invitation, came to your residence, and participated in this meeting you initiated."

"Is entirely because of our shared identity as free nobility..."

After Megan finished speaking, two middle-aged men nodded in agreement to show their stance.

Megan’s words continued.

"However, this doesn’t mean we will align with you and launch a direct confrontation against the Church and Simo!"

"We don’t care who becomes the lord or the new leader of Kakasong City."

"We only care about our families, being able to continue to make a substantial profit while ensuring our heritage can continue."

"That’s enough!"

The remaining two middle-aged men nodded in agreement.

When Megan ceased speaking, Ludovico’s gaze swept over the four men and one woman in front, explaining somberly.

"Simo is using the tithing we pay to recruit believer soldiers!"

"What do you think Simo’s recruited believer soldiers are for?"
