deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it’s late August in the Karedi Empire, there’s still some dew and chill in these mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose was just about to advise Lynn when a low voice reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose followed Red’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the black night, there was a faint glimmer of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the reminder, Rose would never have noticed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the faint glimmers of light were increasing, becoming more pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose’s expression immediately turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A visit in the dead of night, naturally not by merchants!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What intrigued Rose was how Master Lynn, far away in the territorial village, knew there would be an enemy attack tonight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the torches draw closer, the soldiers on the walls responsible for guarding and patrolling began to breathe quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a battle ensues, this would be their first fight since joining Master Lynn’s territory as soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the lights, there was a hint of sternness on Lynn’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A text panel suddenly appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Task: Eliminate the Iron Blood Brotherhood]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reward: Based on completion]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No specific requirements, no time limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a glance, Lynn closed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If completing this so-called task meant reducing the number of soldiers he had painstakingly gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn would rather not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, to establish his authority, he executed several villagers as an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, that was to ensure the other villagers better followed orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, populace equals labor, and a large labor force is essential for rapid development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the torches about two or three miles from the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose calmly asked, \"Master, how should we respond?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his observations of the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming one torch per person, the approaching enemies might number around two hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a large force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in a previous role, he would have led the 6th Cavalry Brigade to meet them before they got close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No qualified cavalry, no suitable warhorses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn calmly said, \"Watch and wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he choose to invest so much time, manpower, and resources to build this wall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this very moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the absence of absolute strength, the height and fortitude of the walls would keep the enemy at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a wall, charging with soldiers would render it meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lynn’s words, Rose bowed slightly, \"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the best decision!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For, the newly recruited soldiers under him weren’t ready yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing into battle recklessly would only lead to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torch after torch, coated with animal grease, burned slowly, illuminating the surrounding darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall, burly figure, clad in plate armor, rode atop a black warhorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torchlight reflected off his armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind this knight, Hall turned to Ford beside him and asked, \"Your master didn’t come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ford smiled, nodding, \"Of course, our master, as the Manor Lord, appointed by Marquis Ducas, naturally cannot easily wage war against a fellow vassal of the Marquis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though far from the Emperor’s gaze, our Master Aiden wishes to avoid suspicion, but he sent a hundred followers to assist you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall nodded without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules among lords, Hall neither wished to know nor cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred followers, plus over a hundred cavalry from the Iron Blood Brotherhood...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All armed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This force was enough to cause chaos in many small manor’s armed forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under cavalry charge, there’d be no resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showcasing the high advantage of cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explained their successful raids on many villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What piqued Hall’s curiosity was why leader Anthony agreed to Aiden Manor Lord’s terms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden would offer fifty Gold Pounds to hire the Iron Blood Brotherhood to eradicate all armed forces in the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, allowing them to plunder the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sole condition being... capture all slaves and the Lord of the territory alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching a manor lord alive entails an immense cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Hall was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, a sound of galloping hooves approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the scout he’d dispatched earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the scout neared, halting his horse, Hall asked, \"What did you discover?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scout, breathing heavily, took a deep breath and said, \"Leader Anthony, I saw a patch of darkness at the forest pass!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall frowned, \"Darkness? That’s the intel a scout gathers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deep of night, with no moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew all around was darkness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony also glanced at the scout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep fear surfaced in the scout’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly explained, \"Leader, Master, it truly was dark!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But above the darkness were torches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The feeling was like... a wall, a city wall! Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the scout hadn’t seen a wall elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his childhood, he’d heard merchants say city walls were like great mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall furrowed his brow deeper, irritably saying, \"Are you joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this wild frontier, how could there be a wall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ford beside him also said, \"There can’t be a wall. Not long ago, Master Aiden led us into the woods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scout quickly lowered his head, afraid to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he doubted if he’d seen wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall looked to Anthony, awaiting the leader’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony rasped, \"Go take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall promptly answered, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over two hundred men and horses marched valiantly toward the forest ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until they were a few hundred meters from the forest pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw a stretch of darkness, like a sky-breaker isolating the forest and wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone widened their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even leader Anthony wore a shocked expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stones piled into a wall, towers, gates, and torches burning atop it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ford was most shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face filled with disbelief, he muttered, \"How... how is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we came, there was no wall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did they build such a wall so fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I still dreaming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking, Ford slapped himself, pain swelling instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ford realized it was all real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony withdrew his gaze, looking at Ford, voice cold, \"Is this the gift your master mentioned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall also looked at Ford, awaiting his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without siege equipment or a large army...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they attack such walls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re dubbed the Iron Blood Brotherhood, but they’re just a band of brigands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only equipment were horses and mismatched swords and long spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the walls were defended with arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they’d be overwhelmed before even approaching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the cold gaze upon him, Ford felt extremely tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly explained, \"Gentlemen, I am but a follower... a dog of Master Aiden...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I merely do as Master Aiden commands...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ford trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hall turned to Anthony, \"Leader?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","b2a2965271182cbdb200d14d7ec2386df845e59567b3fed01a8928060cef4cb3","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-106","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-104",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
