System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 993 - 291: Blitzkrieg (10,000 Words) (Part 6)

The heavy rain and strong wind will cause the barley and wheat in the fields to lodge.

If there is too much rainfall, it may even directly soak the lodged crops in rainwater.

This will increase the difficulty of harvesting and lead to the germination and mildew of the grains, reducing yield and quality.

Not only that.

As the growing cycle of the crops extends, they become more susceptible to pest infestations.

What’s more, when the crops are fully mature and not harvested in time, the barley and wheat grains will fall off on their own.

Or.

Directly attract birds and field mice from the fields to forage.

The crops in the fields will only become less and less.

Lynn responded, "I understand about the harvest."

"Let Gavin continue leading them to harvest; as much as they can gather, they should."

"Once we’ve incorporated more labor, we’ll assign more to assist Gavin."

Wesley nodded slightly, "Yes, Master!"

The next second.

Wesley thought of something.

Incorporate more labor?

Indeed.

His master plans to start a war!

However, his master didn’t disclose it verbally.

As a loyal household attendant, it was naturally impossible for him to ask too many questions.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

As Lynn gazed into the distance.

The sound of orderly marching footsteps, accompanied by the clashing of metal armor pieces, echoed outside the manor castle.

Lynn shifted his gaze over.

Under the golden glow of the setting sun.

An army of soldiers exuding a metallic glint of black and gray marched towards the manor castle.

Led by Rose at the forefront, they entered the manor castle.

Until half an hour later.

All the soldiers had entered the manor castle, and the thick iron gates of the castle slowly closed with the clinking sound of chains.

Outside the manor castle, except for a lingering cloud of dust, it returned to silence.

A moment later.

Rose came up the steps briskly, striding over to Lynn.

Rose explained, "Master, all three thousand eight hundred soldiers have entered the manor castle."

"And per the arrangement of the castle soldiers, they have begun dining and resting."

Listening to Rose’s words, standing beside Lynn, Wesley had a touch of surprise in his eyes.

Three thousand eight hundred soldiers?

If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be all the armored soldiers in the master’s domain, totaling no more than three thousand.

That means.

Master Lynn had almost mobilized all the soldiers available in his domain!

Lynn glanced at Rose and responded.

"After marching day and night, let them rest first."

"Let’s go have dinner together, as I just have battle orders to give out to both of you!"

Rose and Wesley exchanged a glance.

The two immediately responded in unison: "Yes, Master!"

As the words fell.

Wesley immediately quickened his pace, walking ahead of Lynn to lead the way.

Lynn, Red, and Rose passed through the four or five-meter-high main gate of the castle and entered the reception hall.

Arriving at the dining table, Lynn unceremoniously sat in the main seat pulled out by Wesley.

As soon as he sat down.

The leather and wool cushion on the main seat gave a soft feeling.

Not only Lynn.

After Rose sat down, there was also a hint of comfortable enjoyment in his eyes.

After riding for a day and night, both the rider and the warhorse would be greatly exhausted.

The manor castle certainly wasn’t like the castle in his domain.

With the service of Kuisi, Janet, and the like of maids.

In this militarized manor castle, only Red served him.

Under the gaze of Rose and Wesley, Lynn picked up a piece of meat with his fork.

"Let’s eat first!"

As the words fell.

Lynn directly shoved the meat on the fork into his mouth and began chewing heartily.

Having lived in the manor castle, Wesley, who kept his normal daily routine, was fine.

Having been hungry for a day and night, Rose naturally understood Lynn’s feelings at the moment.

He too showed no reservation, grabbing the knife and fork in front of him and started eating heartily.

Wesley, sitting beside them, looked at their expressions and actions, slightly raising his eyebrows.

Until half an hour later.

Lynn picked up the glass of gin poured by Red in front of him and downed it directly.

As the warm, comfortable sensation of the gin began to spread through his body.

The satiated Lynn let out a comfortable belch.

As a man, Lynn never let so-called lordly etiquette bind his actions!

Placing the glazed glass on the dining table.

Lynn glanced at Rose and Wesley in front of him.

The two, who had been watching Lynn’s meal, stopped eating as soon as he placed his glass down.

They sat upright in their chairs, awaiting Lynn’s instructions.

Lynn got straight to the point and said, "The reason I’ve mobilized soldiers to the manor castle overnight."

"Is to execute a Blitzkrieg strategy!"

Rose and Wesley’s eyebrows instantly raised, unconsciously repeating Lynn’s words.

"A Blitzkrieg strategy?"

Lynn responded, "That’s right!"

"I need you to lead four thousand soldiers under the cover of night, when the enemy is utterly unprepared, and attack Alba Town."

"Before the other manor lords in Alba Town realize, annihilate Connelly Manor and Louis Manor in an instant!"

"And bring back all the wealth, labor, ironware, poultry, livestock, and all stored crops from both manors!"

Rose and Wesley had no words.

Awaiting further instructions from their master.

"Connelly Manor, the number of soldiers it has is not large."

"A total of five hundred soldiers, including eighty mounted soldiers in chain and leather armor, fifty archers, and the rest are unarmored or cloth-armored soldiers."

"The number of soldiers in Louis Manor is roughly the same."

"Given the number of armored soldiers I brought, even if divided into two teams, wiping them out separately would only take a moment."

Listening to Lynn’s explanation, Rose and Wesley nodded slightly in response.

As the former deputy captain of the cavalry squad, Rose.

As the last descendant of the Don Quixote Clan, trained systematically and blessed by the Wind God, Wesley.

They were well-aware of the power difference between fully armed and unarmored soldiers!

Especially when fully armed soldiers form a scale!

If the two sides were to battle, it would be a cataclysmic disaster for the unarmored soldiers!
