soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staining the ground a deep crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the luckier manor soldiers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at this moment, were trembling in hiding behind makeshift barricades of piled-up corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they survived, they could not suppress the fear of death in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao’s gaze swept around, his face full of solemnity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two or three volleys of arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers he brought from Frank Manor, at least two to three hundred had died!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for purchasing some round shields at a high price from the weapon merchant before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the death count would surely be higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao felt a chill in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the prowess of having archers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at night, they could cover the area with a rain of arrows, weakening the enemy’s forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a glance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao listened carefully to the dense whooshing of arrows in the sky and the number of arrows hitting the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming a drastic reduction in the number of arrows,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao’s expression showed no signs of relaxation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing, helping Janet to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Janet’s puzzled gaze, he strode towards a horse that had luckily survived not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without needing Janet’s consent, Joao lifted her, placing her on the horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Joao’s physical strength, Janet, weighing less than a hundred pounds, was easily manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao looked directly at Janet, speaking in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold the reins tight, leave quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re late... it will be too late!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Janet’s brow raised, just about to speak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when Joao slapped the horse’s haunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the sting from behind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the horse neighed a few times and galloped into the darkness from where they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Janet’s silhouette fade into the distance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao turned around, scanning the battlefield once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted loudly to the soldiers, \"Is anyone still alive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly gather and form a defense formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the arrow rain had completely stopped,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao knew well,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the arrows only served to kill the living forces of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavalry charge and infantry advance are what truly finish a war!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Frank Manor soldiers don’t form a defensive formation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what awaits them is Lynn’s heavy cavalry charge and the ruthless lash of long spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid Joao’s loud shouts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>manor soldiers with panicked expressions emerged from behind corpses and shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lifted their weapons, stepping through gaps in the heaps of bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the captain’s assembly, the Frank Manor soldiers gathered once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that under this rain of arrows, far more manor soldiers had died than he had estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead soldiers numbered at least three to four hundred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thundering~ Thundering~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao was just about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rumbling sound like rolling thunder arose behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roars followed one another, quickly closing in from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the dry clods and stones on the ground trembled and shook!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao hurriedly turned to look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hundred meters away, a cloud of dust, like a line, was rushing towards them at speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao understood naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That line of dust was Lynn’s heavy cavalry, in a single file, charging at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao hesitated not a bit, continuing to shout to the manor soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All shield soldiers, move to the outermost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join shields tightly to form a shield wall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Joao’s command, a hundred or two shield soldiers sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>despairing thoughts floated in Joao’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All is over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fifty-centimeter diameter round shield simply cannot form an effective shield wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can’t even cover the entire body of a shield soldier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If in complex terrain,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could organize soldiers to use narrow passages and valleys to break the heavy cavalry into smaller units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then concentrate forces to encircle and attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were long spear soldiers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could arrange them into a dense hedgehog-like spear formation to repel the heavy cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no long spear soldiers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and worse, he was in a vast open farmland!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ideal position for both the archers’ arrow rain and the cavalry charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why there was a fire in Morgan Town!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to inform those in Frank Manor that something had happened in Morgan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to plant seeds of doubt, making them decide whether or not to reinforce Morgan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they chose not to reinforce, Lynn could easily take Morgan Town into their grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did reinforce, it would be like now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapping the Frank Manor soldiers in this farmland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the double advantage of archers and heavy cavalry to annihilate the living forces of Frank Manor completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joao did not give up in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned, facing the units in front wearing black plate armor, wielding exotic long spears, riding tall horses of the heavy cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered the mask on his iron helmet, his arm moved, gripping the hilt of the two-handed greatsword at his waist with his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A screeching sound of metal scraping, Joao drew out the greatsword from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping the hilt tightly with both hands, the blade pointed diagonally to the sky, waiting for the heavy cavalry charge to draw near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Joao’s calmness and steadiness,\u003C\u002Fp>",870,"2026-05-29T04:51:15.817Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","f53d1b406783a41886de2293732d90a0d253c79cbb868c52f49c484fe051fbc0","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-764","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-762",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
