We can definitely transport them back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn smiled and said, \"Had enough rest? Then let’s continue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the smile on Master Lynn’s face, the townsmen were filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out Master Lynn is just like them, with a down-to-earth side...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short interlude appeared, and the townsmen got rest, which heightened their enthusiasm for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sound of shouts, everyone kept pressing down the ancient iron bars in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force in everyone’s hands lightened, and the giant stone on the verge of falling instantly rolled downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every roll made the mountain slightly shake, causing a roaring sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After six or seven rolls, the granite struck down upon the wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The momentum was so strong that it even scattered the surrounding withered grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roaring noise spread towards the distance continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn led dozens of townsmen down the mountain, standing on the granite boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of galloping hooves erupted from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn turned his head to look, and it was Rose leading a team of cavalry rushing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn and Red emerged from the crowd, Rose quickly dismounted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose asked in confusion, \"Master, what are you doing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the stone rolling down was incredibly loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the mountain wall at the forest gorge’s entrance, perhaps due to the echo, was clearly audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn calmly said, \"Quarrying stones to build monument statues!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose instantly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His master wants to quickly build monuments and engrave names for the fallen soldiers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose thought, his master always does what he says!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent Rose back to the walls to continue training and guarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn turned to see a hundred townsmen looking helpless and troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This granite boulder is at least fifteen meters in diameter, weighing at least over fifteen tons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expecting the hundred laborers and a few horses to pick up and transport it back to town is impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the slight disappointment in their eyes, Lynn strode onto the granite boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked all around and took a cross pickaxe from a townsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the screeching ’sizzle’, the hard head scraped across the granite, leaving a white mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn spoke to them, \"Along this white mark, use iron chisels to make holes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then continuously drive your iron wedges into them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Master Lynn, they exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they didn’t understand the reason, they had no doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Townsmen climbed onto the granite and started chiseling holes with iron chisels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clink~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clink clink~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sounds echoed continuously with the mountain resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn directly divided the hundred townsmen into three groups for wedge splitting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sound after sound of stone cracking echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearly fifteen-meter-high granite split into six parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each granite piece had neat cuts with only slight curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could be built up and carved into statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, once granite split into six pieces, it could be dragged using draft horses and logs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the curious gaze of the townsmen, they kept busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tying the thick ropes, one end to the granite, the other to the draft horse carriage frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen townsmen took care of rolling logs back and forth, while others pushed from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearly five or six thousand-pound granite moved on the lime road with everyone’s combined effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the speed was not too slow, the distance meant transporting all six pieces back before nightfall was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cycling three times back and forth, the night began to grow dim and dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the hundred townsmen in front, their faces clearly showed regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn spoke, \"Everyone go to the brewing workshop immediately, find Lex, and claim ten pounds of gin each!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just say it’s a command from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Lynn’s words, the townsmen’s regret turned to hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s voice rang out amongst the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, we didn’t achieve the goal we set ourselves, we’re not worthy of receiving gin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that voice, echoing sentiments followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master, we only accomplished half of the task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Lord, we betrayed your trust...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn glanced at the townsmen, speaking firmly, \"If not finished today, then finish tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But one thing, obeying orders is your responsibility!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My orders shouldn’t need repeating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townsmen’s faces became resolute, standing straight, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, they marched towards the brewing workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still a bit anxious, Lynn could see their loyalty was rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand pounds of gin, to Lynn, was trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lex had mastered distillation technology, simply providing enough liquid to distill gin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to these townsmen, it was their aspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand pounds of gin exchanged for increased loyalty, meeting their curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not enjoy it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night grew darker, and temperatures dropped more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the howling cold wind, a group of townsmen walked along the lime road, returning to the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn glanced at the weather forecast. Though not completely dark, temperatures had dropped to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By deep night, temperatures would drop further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He provided these townsmen with enclosed red brick houses, warm wool cloaks and bedding, and burning anthracite for heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for these, many townsmen might not survive the winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn returned to the castle with Red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the castle, climbing to the second-floor hall, the sky was completely dark, transforming into a black curtain over the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maids had already lit all the oil lamps and candles in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange-yellow flames illuminated the entire hall brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi led a few maids in setting out dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lynn, Kuisi quickly bowed slightly, \"Master, once the final carp soup is cooked, dinner can begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded and sat down at the head of the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kuisi cut Lynn’s steak in the dish, a maid pushed a wooden cart towards the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the cart was steaming carp soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi looked at the maid pushing the cart past, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi directly stopped her, \"Leave the cart here, you can leave. I’ll serve the master’s meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid kept her head down, her gentle voice replied, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","e6f325f03ad68ce80c3faec9fcb4acd69a59c5580587eb6593f1d0110bb20f10","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-390","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-388",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
