slight relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he still doesn’t know the other manor lords’ stance toward his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the more chaotic Morgan Town is now, the more beneficial it is for his development!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting his gaze, he sat down at an empty bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s gaze observed the townsmen passing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they had heard from Kuisi about the bonfire event to happen in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces clearly bore smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially upon seeing him sitting on the bench, the townsmen stopped their steps, bowing in greeting to Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when Lynn nodded in response, did they depart one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such chaotic times, townsmen’s demands for life weren’t high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having food to fill their bellies, a house to shelter from the wind and rain, along with family beside them to avoid bandit attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such life was completely sufficient for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If, in this simple and ordinary life, they can also have Master Lynn’s feast prepared for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time moved slowly forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen assistants moved the square tables from the dining hall to the Lord’s Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arranging them in a circular fashion around the bonfire at the center of the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awaiting the chefs to cook the food from the kitchen, to place on the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the dozens of logs erected for the bonfire, several whole pigs mounted on iron racks were being charcoal roasted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though a few dozen meters away, Lynn, sitting at the square’s edge, could still smell the full aroma of meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord’s Square in front of the town needs expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the town’s population constantly increasing, what used to seem spacious could now at most accommodate six or seven people for simultaneous feasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone in the territory gathered, the townsmen would have to stand in the fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pots of barley meat porridge, plates of barley bread, along with various roasted fish, vegetables, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were carried out by the chefs in concert and placed on the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the chefs’ busy efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five thousand townsmen who had been planting began tidying their tools and driving cattle and draft horses out of the fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked on the lime road, numerous yet orderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of townsmen returned to the town, eyes gleaming at the overfilled tables of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gaze emitting beams of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Master Lynn truly had prepared a feast for celebrating the completion of the planting expansion for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the townsmen gradually returned, eventually gathering at the Lord’s Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the bench, Lynn stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of everyone, Lynn strode toward the platform over a meter high at the Lord’s Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he hadn’t spoken to quiet the townsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townsmen standing across the Lord’s Square had already stopped their chatter voluntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a group of children, aged several to teenagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes wide open, full of admiration and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally knew that these townsmen could do this because of their heartfelt loyalty and reverence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s gaze swept over the townsmen, inhaling deeply, he spoke in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, I am the lord of this territory—Lynn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing their Lord’s unfamiliar yet familiar voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the unfamiliar yet familiar name spoken by the Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townsmen, their eyes already shining, became even more excited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, he is the lord of this territory, the hope for their survival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he is the god they have always followed!\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-05-29T04:51:13.023Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","99bc48821d16914aff8ef8cefcc605e624e33d8b931ee301de8cf3c32e8c9e15","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-548","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-546",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
