System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1304 - 343: Expand the Army! Expand the Army! Expand the Army Again!

Drinking gin is, of course, nothing remarkable.

Thinking of the images in her mind, Janet’s cheeks couldn’t help but flush crimson.

Lynn swallowed the aromatic gin in his mouth.

Letting the comfortable warmth spread from his throat to his abdomen.

Opening his mouth, he comfortably exhaled a breath of hot air; Lynn’s gaze was distant, looking beyond the castle.

The distance.

A round red-orange wheel had already dipped halfway below the horizon.

The emitted afterglow dyed Lynn’s entire territory in red-orange hues.

Quiet town, large expanses of farmland, townsfolk busy with their labor...

Gazing at such a sunset scene, Lynn’s mood inexplicably relaxed.

Even though the Karedi Empire was currently mired in the depths of a war for imperial authority.

The lives of the residents were fraught with suffering.

However.

His territory was like a paradise, removed from war, removed from strife.

No longer worried about the problem of hunger.

And all this, achieved bit by bit through Lynn’s own efforts!

Lynn could unreservedly tell anyone.

With his presence, this area of barren wasteland had grown to its current prosperous scale.

With his presence, all the residents of this territory could live safe and stable lives.

With his presence, everything before us exists!

Despite the territory being safe right now.

Lynn knew deeply that the current safety and stability were only temporary.

Beyond the territory, there remained numerous threats and potential crises awaiting Lynn.

First.

The Church and free nobles of Kakasong City!

Lynn believed the military strength he currently possessed to be the most powerful presence in the realm of Kakasong City.

But he still needed to exert control over intelligence and reconnaissance work in Kakasong City.

Preventing armed forces of other lords or factions from entering Kakasong City, suddenly altering its situation.

For instance, the ’Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps’ his Captain Samuel told him about.

Or whether Simo, the Church Bishop, would request military assistance from Church Headquarters.

All these were potential threats to Lynn.

Second.

The Ducas Clan!

Specifically, the current Marquis of the Ducas Clan—Mark Ducas.

Previously, when the Sword and Shield Corps Knight Commander Godfrey Love came to his territory, it was very likely his identity was uncovered.

If Mark Ducas were to know he still survived in this world.

And had inherited this territory, rapidly developing it.

Mark Ducas would undoubtedly dispatch the Sword and Shield Army, launching an attack against him.

Because.

With Lynn possessing the Ducas Clan bloodline, carrying strong military might.

Lynn could potentially threaten Mark Ducas’ current status and position as Marquis!

Most importantly.

Even if Mark Ducas did nothing against him.

As Lynn’s military power developed and strengthened continuously.

Lynn would also not hesitate to send armies to attack Bordeaux City, obliterating the Ducas Clan!

Third.

As more people learned about the minerals in Lynn’s territory, his situation became increasingly dangerous!

Directly exploitable open-pit iron mine, coal mine, salt mine.

A salt factory capable of processing salt mine into high-quality fine salt.

A furnace capable of smelting iron ore into steel.

Blacksmiths capable of forging steel into armor and weapons.

These are deadly temptations for any Great Lord!

Because.

Once this territory is attacked and occupied.

It can yield endless gold pounds, endless armor, and weapons.

Recruit plenty of soldiers, and one could build a formidable steel army!

Fourth.

The war of succession.

The essence of the war for imperial authority is nothing more than the alternation of power within the Karedi Empire, the reshuffling of influence, the redistribution of benefits.

Once those Great Lords harvested enough benefit, the war will ultimately end!

Lynn speculated the Three Great Dukes would still remain as the Three Great Dukes.

But beneath the Dukes, a massive change would appear among the numerous Marquesses, Counts, and Viscounts.

Lynn must, before the war of succession ends, before the land in the Karedi Empire is divided, develop as much as possible.

Occupying more farmland, gaining more labor, forging more armor and weapons, increasing the number of armored soldiers, enhancing overall military strength!

Because.

Once the Karedi Empire’s situation stabilizes.

Regardless of whether the Ducas Clan exists, they will definitely settle accounts with the Manor Lords and Lords within this Marquisate.

Lynn must have sufficiently powerful military strength to protect himself!

Fifth.

The mysterious witch!

Why would a witch with such strong ability use a secret technique to come to Morgan Town.

Further, she united the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps and Storm Mercenary Corps, launching an attack on his territory.

The mysterious witch disappeared without any sign after Lynn obliterated the Iron Blood Brotherhood and Storm Mercenary Corps.

To this day.

Lynn still couldn’t understand what her purpose and intention were?

Sorting through the thoughts in his mind, Lynn couldn’t help frowning.

Despite his territory having rapidly developed for over a year now.

Already becoming an existence that many Manor Lords, even Noble Lords, could hope for but never reach.

However.

His territory still faced many dangers!

Yet Lynn was very clear in his heart.

To solve all the problems, to obliterate the so-called crises.
