control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lords or manor lords around Kakasong City, in order to reduce or even eliminate tax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have no choice but to offer their support and loyalty to Jon Zuck, the ruler of Kakasong City, even providing military assistance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if now, his combined armed forces are stronger than Jon Zuck’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needs to obtain detailed intelligence and devise a meticulous plan before he’ll issue the order to attack Kakasong City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is just a setup of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lord with the title of Viscount is naturally not comparable to the few manor lords he has annihilated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacking the towering city walls of Kakasong City could cost him many troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supporters offering loyalty behind the Viscount alone are enough for him to contend with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn rethought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he does not attack Kakasong City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jon Zuck leads his supporters and their army approaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can still rely on the walls and Weng City for defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attacking and breaching his walls and Weng City won’t be easy either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because within his walls and Weng City, there are numerous large-scale defensive mechanisms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most fundamental and direct way to resolve this matter is — overwhelming military power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If at this moment, he had tens of thousands of fully armed soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t need to care about Jon Zuck’s attitude towards hiring and taking away free people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor would he need to inquire about Jon Zuck’s military strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t need to concern himself with how many supporters Jon Zuck has, or how much military force they have!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could pressure with a mighty army, march directly into Kakasong City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And replace Jon Zuck directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter if he’s a Viscount or what title he holds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolute military power can crush everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he only has just over four thousand soldiers in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can only advance step by step slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worst-case plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is to abandon the land of Morgan Town and recall all the farmer-soldiers back to the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if he has to abandon it, he still needs to harvest the crops in Morgan Town’s fields as much as possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with more food can he feed more townsmen and recruit more soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside his thoughts temporarily, Lynn had already arrived at the edge of the farmland where barley was being harvested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of a team of farmers transporting barley, he joined the barley harvesting team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Collection Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Collection Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Collection Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bit by bit, the experience once again increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, with a thought, opened the Heavenly Artifacts panel and took a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Collection: Level 3 (376\u002F1000)] (+)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days of continuous harvesting had significantly increased his Collection skill experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance to leveling up is indeed somewhat far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as he keeps at it every day, the Collection skill will surely level up someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn was leading the farmers in the barley harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the townsmen finished work, Lynn blended into the crowd of farmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the glow of the golden sunset, they returned to the small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to Lynn’s presence, waves of idle chatter continuously arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farmers’ conversations always revolved around food, children, and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing they most loved to talk about, naturally, was what they did with their wives after dinner and night school’s literacy campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn didn’t mind this at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the territory is still in a high-production development mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of everything remains ensuring that the townsmen have enough to eat and drink, ensuring the safety of the townsmen, and ensuring that the territory’s development isn’t hindered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the quiet development in Lynn Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, on a road through a mountainside forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers in standard plate armor, wearing bucket helmets, with greatswords at their waists and a large black iron-wooden shield on their backs, were marching in step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the marching troops passed, the sound of solid footsteps and the clattering collision of metal between the plate armor components nearly melded into one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the sun had set below the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light still dyed the clouds in the sky a shade of red-orange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds looked like clusters of flames igniting the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid this fiery sky, the lengthened marching troop in plate armor and the shields on their backs, and on the fluttering flags...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was the emblem of a crossed greatsword and shield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the family emblem of the Ducas Clan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the troop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hundred cavalrymen were advancing on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They, too, wore the specially tailored standard plate armor of the Sword and Shield Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With urging calls, a young man on a warhorse moved to the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly slowing the pace of his warhorse, alongside, Danke spoke to Godfrey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, after inspection, the marching state of the 30,000 Sword and Shield Corps soldiers is all normal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Danke’s words, Godfrey’s brows furrowed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to the burly man on his left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Godfrey could open his mouth to remind, Danke immediately remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly spoke again: \"Please instruct us, Lord Lawrence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence, riding a purely white pure-blood warhorse, upon hearing Danke’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eyes fixed forward on the road, he casually remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knight, I believe you’ve asked the wrong person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this campaign, Godfrey Harvey is the commander.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am merely a battlefield advisor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Lawrence’s indifferent tone, both Godfrey and Danke furrowed their brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Godfrey’s frown only lasted a moment before returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He respectfully bent slightly to Lawrence and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Lawrence, I think you might have misunderstood...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marquis appointed me as the commander, but as a battlefield advisor, you still hold direct command over the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you, like the Marquis, are a descendant of Lord Donovan Ducas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-05-29T04:51:16.901Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","976f6b3b075de01b11214e932e8c3326a7b4a62d4ed6f19aff5e38f670245f6b","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-898","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-896",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
