System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 1036 - 299: Requesting Punishment from the Master (10,000 Words)

Three thousand soldiers clad in standard plate armor or composite armor, along with eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guard with battlefield experience.

With such military strength, not to mention a remote and impoverished manor lord in Alba Town.

Even if Viscount Jon Zack of Kakasong City gathered all his supporting manor lords.

In the vast plains, Lynn would dare to battle them!

Lynn is absolutely confident of achieving victory in this war!

Because.

The number of armored soldiers, heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, and archers he possesses is enough to compensate for the numerical disadvantage.

In the fields.

Bine Greyk, a freeman bending over to harvest, slightly straightened his body and twisted his neck.

To relieve the soreness and fatigue from excessive labor.

Bine turned his head, and the advancing army of soldiers instantly came into his view.

Bine’s eyes widened instantly, full of shock.

Bine quickly shouted to the freemen beside him.

"Stop for a moment, hurry and stop!"

The freemen beside him, still bending over to harvest barley, looked at Bine impatiently and shouted.

"Stop for what? Don’t you know, the more crops we harvest, the more we earn?"

"Yesterday, I harvested almost four hundred pounds of wheat."

"Heh heh, converted at the current market price, that’s eighty pence!"

"If it were the usual labor, it would take me almost three months to earn that."

"Being hired by Lord Master Lynn is the luckiest thing in my life! No doubt about it!"

"This isn’t working for the lord, it’s literally picking money."

"..."

Bine rolled his eyes and explained.

"Armored soldiers, a large number of armored soldiers have entered Morgan Town, heading towards the distant manor castle!"

"Look quickly!"

The freemen who were previously working hard, harvesting, all straightened their bodies, raising their eyebrows in unison.

They followed where Bine was looking.

Indeed, just as Bine said.

A large number of armored soldiers, under the red-orange glow of the sunset, were heading towards the distant manor castle.

At a glance.

From the front of the armored soldiers’ ranks to the back, there seemed to be no end in sight!

Their numbers were evident.

From the soldiers wearing standard armor, marching in unison, and the ordinary personnel transporting various items in the ranks...

They were not here to launch an attack on Master Lynn’s manor castle in Morgan Town.

Looking at the familiar standard armor of the soldiers, Bine, his eyes wavering, confidently said.

"They are Lord Master Lynn’s soldiers!"

The freemen were slightly moved, nodding in agreement.

They could clearly see that the manor castle’s commander Wesley was leading at the forefront of the advancing troops!

Wearing an iron helmet, clad in standard armor, riding a tall horse.

As the horse trotted, their sturdy bodies swayed back and forth...

The freemen’s eyes were filled with envy.

"That’s so impressive!"

Although they are freemen, compared to the lowest peasants, they possess some rights.

But those so-called rights are almost negligible.

Renting land from the lord and the Church requires paying high land rent.

Living in towns or cities, hefty taxes, such as poll tax, property tax, etc., need to be paid.

Even if they wanted to engage in commercial activities, they’d be subject to various restrictions by the lord.

In terms of political power, it’s safe to say, they have none!

As freemen, naturally, they also desire to be like those soldiers.

Wearing armor to ward off danger, tightly gripping weapons to change their fate...

At the edge of the manor castle walls.

Lynn continued to stand at the parapet, his gaze fixed on the approaching soldier ranks.

As the red-orange sun fully sank below the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.

The troops led by Rose and Wesley had already reached one to two hundred meters before the manor castle.

Lynn spoke to the guard behind him.

"Open the gates, welcome the army into the manor castle!"

Following Master Lynn’s direction, the guard promptly responded and ran towards the steps not far away.

Shouts of command delivery echoed beneath the walls.

"By order of the lord, open the gates immediately, welcome the army into the city!"

"By order of the lord..."

As the guard’s voice subsided.

Amid the rattling of iron chains, the heavy iron-clad wooden door gradually tilted outward from the manor castle.

When Rose led the troops to the manor castle.

The iron door emitted a heavy sound as it laid flat on the ground.

No waiting or delay was needed.

Everyone entered the manor castle.

With the sound of footsteps climbing and the clashing of armor metal parts...

Rose and Wesley stepped onto the manor castle walls.

They turned their gaze, spotting the familiar silhouette at the parapet, and, without hesitation, strode forward.

Stopping three meters before Lynn, Rose and Wesley stood their ground, bowing in salute.

Rose respectfully said, "Master, we did not fail you!"

"Under my and Wesley’s leadership, we successfully vanquished Connelly Manor and Louis Manor!"

"From both manors, all money, grain, iron tools, labor force, poultry, and livestock were brought back by us."
