System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1191 - 324: Helena’s Ambition and Desire (10,000 Words) (Part 6)

Only those with sufficiently strong military power have the right to survive!

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Lynn stepped forward and walked out of the reception hall.

He entrusted the dining table, filled with dishes, to the guards for cleaning.

Standing in the open-air courtyard, Lynn gazed into the distance.

In the far expansive fields, the carriage convoy brought by Helena was driving away.

Inside the carriage at this moment.

Helena’s heart was full of hesitation.

Initially, Helena was contemplating on using the six thousand sets of linen robe and pants to negotiate armor exchange terms with Lord Lynn.

But considering her level of familiarity with Lord Lynn, it was far from adequate.

Forcefully speaking up with suggestions.

Not only would she not obtain permission from Lord Lynn for the exchange.

There might even be a possibility of invoking dissatisfaction from Lord Lynn.

That would be counterproductive!

Furthermore.

From this encounter, when Lord Lynn invited her to stay for lunch.

Helena could clearly feel that Lord Lynn was not the kind of tyrannical and dictatorial lord.

It was entirely possible to gradually build rapport with Lord Lynn through increasing meetings and interactions.

Once the rapport reached a certain level.

She would then bring up the matter of exchanging armor and weapons with Lord Lynn.

Possibly even...

Persuade Lord Lynn to hand over the entire town of Alba for her to rule and manage.

As a Manor Lord, even though Helena is a woman, she still possesses ambitions and desires!

As long as she had enough strength, wouldn’t Helena also aim to develop and expand Wells Manor?

Just like Lord Lynn, occupying and ruling over the entire Morgan Town!

Even if it meant becoming a supporter of Lord Lynn, subordinate to Lord Lynn’s command, it would be worth it.

With this in mind.

Helena couldn’t help but exhale warmly.

Turning her gaze, Helena regarded Lorenzo, who was accompanying the carriage, and spoke solemnly.

"Upon returning to the manor, immediately gather a team of farmers skilled in planting and await orders."

"I will personally lead them to Morgan Town to learn cultivation and planting techniques!"

Lorenzo, riding on horseback, quickly responded.

"Yes, Lady Helena!"

Helena pondered for a moment and sat back inside the soft cushion of the carriage.

Allowing the carriage to swiftly proceed beyond Morgan Town under the continuous urging of the coachman.

...

Time quickly passed by.

Lynn spent the entire afternoon in the archery training field.

Grinding [Hunting] skills’ experience.

Watching the gradual increase of experience bit by bit.

The tangible gains pleased Lynn greatly.

Until dusk.

A slightly exhausted Lynn left the archery training field with Red.

Just as he crossed the cobblestone pavement, preparing to step onto the steps ahead, the sound of galloping hooves resounded outside the Manor Castle.

Lynn turned his gaze, looking beyond the wide-open castle gates of the Manor Castle.

A light cavalry rider was galloping swiftly towards him.

As the horse neared Lynn, the light cavalry rider promptly tugged the reins to halt the steed beneath him.

The light cavalry dismounted and quickly stepped forward, respectfully bowing in front of Lynn.

"Lord, Victor Zion under the General Banner commands me to return to the Manor Castle to report to you."

"The fire on Lorin Mountain has been extinguished!"

"Requesting the next instructions."

Lynn’s brow involuntarily rose, as he stepped forward and exited the Manor Castle gate.

Gazing into the distant horizon.

It was indeed as the light cavalry had reported.

The previously raging flames had vanished.

The thick smoke, once billowing, now drifted up as faint wisps about to burn out.

Carried away into mid-air by the mountain breeze.

Lynn withdrew his gaze, instructing Red.

"Prepare the horses!"

Red, without any hesitation, turned to the guards behind him to issue orders.

Several minutes later.

The guards arrived behind Lynn, riding Mo Ying and Red’s warhorses.

Without any delay, Lynn reached for the reins from the guards.

Agilely mounted Mo Ying, legs gently squeezing its flanks.

With a joyful neigh from Mo Ying, its strong and powerful four hooves began to gallop.

Red and the guards hastily mounted their respective horses and followed along.

Through the mud and gravel road, watched by rows of farmers.

Lynn traversed vast fields towards the outskirts of Morgan Town, galloping towards the distant Lorin.

Accompanied by the following Red and numerous guards.

A sandstorm rose as smoke and dust swirled...

After half an hour.

Seeing the soldier squad guarding ahead, Lynn slightly tugged his reins, slowing Mo Ying’s speed.

Until arriving before the guarding soldier squad.

Lynn uttered a ’whoa’ to halt Mo Ying beneath him.

As soon as a soldier rushed forward to grab the reins, Lynn dismounted.

Before taking a few steps, a burly man clad in armor strode towards Lynn.

Walking alongside Lynn, the burly man respectfully introduced himself.

"Lord, I am Victor Zion, appointed as one of the General Banners by Commander Luo Si."

"Ordered to lead two soldiers guarding the forest exit."

Lynn glanced over Victor Zion.

Apart from possessing a tall and burly physique.

He also held [Swordsmanship] at Two Levels.

Being appointed as a General Banner, overseeing a hundred soldiers, seemed quite reasonable.

Lynn replied, "Tell me about the situation in Lorin."

Victor did not dare show any negligence, and quickly explained.

"Lord, the mountain fire was extinguished an hour ago!"

"Furthermore, Victor dispatched a team of five to investigate the forest’s edge."

"The forest temperature has already decreased, allowing deeper exploration!"

Listening to Victor’s explanation, Lynn told Victor.

"Dispatch all soldiers here to enter the forest for a comprehensive search."

"Collect all usable items and bring them back to Morgan Town."

Victor promptly bent in reverence and responded.

"Yes, Lord!"

Without further instructions from the lord, Victor withdrew and instructed the soldier squad behind.

Amidst uniform responses.

Squads of armored soldiers drew their longswords from their waists and headed towards the forest exit a few hundred meters ahead.

Lynn slightly frowned in contemplation for a moment, then walked towards the forest.

As his personal guard, Red naturally followed closely behind.

Stepping into the forest.

Lynn’s gaze scanned the surroundings.

The once towering and dense ancient trees, shadowing the dark and eerie forest.

Now, under the brightness of the sky, appeared open and clear.

Wherever his sight went, the ground was covered in a thick layer of black charred remnants.

These black charred remnants were not the bodies of Jon Zuck’s burnt army!
