System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1227 - 330: This Is the True Lord (10,000 Words) (Part 6)

Lynn’s idea is to use double-layered thick cloth soaked in tree wax to make thick cloth armor.

At the same time.

A metal armor plate is stitched and riveted in front of the chest of the cloth armor, with small iron plates sewn at the wrists.

If the soldiers’ unit falls into a desperate situation and archers need to join the melee.

This ensures they have a certain degree of close combat defense capability!

The third point.

The production of crossbows in the Bow and Arrow Workshop.

Lynn would not hesitate to invest more manpower and resources into the Bow and Arrow Workshop.

Before Lynn has developed and produced matchlock guns or cannons.

The crossbow will be Lynn’s weapon of choice to rapidly enhance mid-range combat ability.

Let alone future large-scale warfare with the Great Lord’s army.

The combat capability of the crossbow is yet to be determined.

Speaking of attacking the manors in other small towns.

If the Bow and Arrow Workshop has already produced hundreds of crossbows.

Soldiers can easily, even without losing a single soldier, annihilate the manor!

As long as the soldiers learn how to operate them.

If the Bow and Arrow Workshop can produce enough crossbows.

Virtually every soldier can be equipped with one!

If every soldier can use a crossbow in combat, their combat power will become exceptionally terrifying!

A simple calculation.

If two thousand light cavalry responsible for harassment operations are all equipped with a crossbow.

Each crossbow can be loaded with ten arrows.

Even if each light cavalryman fires all the arrows in the crossbow and only kills one enemy.

Two thousand light cavalry can also kill two thousand enemies!

If the light cavalrymen become more proficient in using crossbows.

Ten crossbow arrows can kill two enemies.

Then.

Two thousand light cavalry can kill four thousand enemies.

This allows for an average of two enemies killed per person!

What concept is this?

This can already be called an elite army!

Such an elite army only requires Lynn to equip the light cavalry or other soldiers with a crossbow!

The most crucial point is.

The operation and use of the crossbow does not require archers to undergo years of training.

In just one or two months, soldiers can master the use of the crossbow!

The fourth point.

The production of ships in the shipyard must expand in scale.

The ships produced are not only for transporting goods from the upstream to the downstream of the Aladia River.

They can also be used for fishery development, trade, military warfare, colonial exploration, and even control of the entire sea area!

By investing more labor into the shipyard now.

Learning and honing their shipbuilding skills in practice.

In due time.

As Lynn vigorously develops the fleet, these laborers can be put into ship production!

No matter where or when.

Naval combat capability is always an indispensable ability for a coastal lord or the Empire!

Otherwise, what awaits is the cannon fire knocking on the Empire’s doors!

The fifth point.

Lies within the infrastructure projects in the territory.

Lynn must draw enough labor from the territory for road expansion.

Otherwise, it will not only affect transportation within the territory but also the development speed of the territory!

Besides roads, the outer city walls also need to be expedited.

Morgan Town, which is currently occupied, can provide Lynn’s territory with a certain degree of defense capability.

However, once faced with a large-scale attack by armored soldiers.

Such defense capability is almost negligible.

Therefore.

The defensive works of Lynn Territory are of utmost importance!

Moreover.

Recruiting trainers and training pigeons at the breeding farm.

Compared to training wild boars and wild wolves.

Lynn currently needs to train pigeons the most.

With the team of spies Lynn placed in Kakasong City.

It’s more than sufficient for gathering intelligence within the range of Kakasong City.

However, the lack of tools for rapid intelligence transmission is a problem!

Every time Gasper gathers intelligence, he has to send members in and out of Kakasong City, returning to the Morgan Town, back to the territory.

To report in person to him.

In the short term, this might be fine.

But if someone is carefully watching Lynn.

Then the spies frequently coming in and out will very easily encounter danger.

If they are interrogated, the spies responsible for transmitting intelligence are very likely to leak information.

If the pigeons can be trained.

Then it will be different!

The sixth point.

Is the gunpowder that Lynn has always been thinking about.

But up until now.

Lynn still hasn’t found or obtained sulfur.

He can only put it aside for future consideration!

Finally.

Is military expansion!

Lynn needs to continue expanding the military by recruiting more soldiers!

Even though five thousand six hundred garrison soldiers were just recruited at the Manor Castle.

They currently lack weaponry and armor, and thus do not have strong combat effectiveness.

To gain combat power, they also need to undergo long-term military training.

Lynn currently has a total of about five thousand combat-capable guards!

To continuously strengthen the military power within the territory, Lynn must keep expanding the army!

However.

He could wait for Rose to return from Alba Town, bringing back the labor from the devastated Orlando and Kennedy Manors before considering further.

After a round of deliberation in his mind, what needs to be done next in the territory is roughly these matters.

Of course.

There are still many other trivial matters.

Lynn can entirely entrust Kuisi to organize and execute these.

At this moment.

Kuisi’s gentle voice sounded in front of Lynn.

"Master, dinner is ready, you may proceed to dine."

Lynn glanced at Kuisi, who stood bowed before him, and looked out of the castle through the floor-to-ceiling glazed window.

The dark night had already enveloped heaven and earth.

Lynn responded, got up from the Lord’s throne, and walked towards the dining table ahead.

When Red pulled out the main seat at the table, Lynn sat down unreservedly.

Seeing the table filled with dishes, Lynn’s eyebrows slightly lifted.

Kuisi, who followed, led Janet and three young maids, preparing to serve Lynn during the meal.

Indeed.

The food standards and treatment in Lynn Castle far surpass those in the manor castle in Morgan Town.

Once Kuisi filled his wine glass with gin, Lynn spoke.

"It has been a while since we dined together, have a seat and join the meal."

Kuisi’s beautiful eyebrows raised slightly and after a glance at Red, she respectfully replied.

"Yes, Master."

Following Master Lynn’s instructions and not for the first time.

Kuisi and Red took their places next to Lynn on either side.

Lynn’s gaze then shifted to Janet, sitting not far away.

Janet’s heart tightened slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Lynn’s gaze.

"You also, come join us for the meal."

Upon hearing Lynn’s words.

A puzzled Janet slowly raised her head.

Indeed.

Lynn’s eyes rested upon her.

Not just Lynn.

Both Kuisi and Red were looking at her.

Janet hesitantly said.

"Lord, do you mean me?"

Lynn replied, "Of course!"
