Chapter 1224 - 330: This Is the True Lord
Chapter 1224: Chapter 330: This Is the True Lord
Riding a warhorse and marching feels like flying.
Lynn’s gaze shifted, glancing at the farmers in the fields on either side as they bent down to salute.
Jon Zuck and his supporting manor lords have already been wiped out.
At least for the short term, there’s no need to worry about a powerful lord launching an attack on Morgan Town.
Even if a lord wanted to attack Morgan Town,
with Gasper’s team of spies stationed in Kakasong City,
they could return immediately when the soldiers’ army passes through Kakasong City to report and warn him.
Furthermore,
the garrison in Morgan Town is already initially completed.
The recruitment of the five thousand six hundred garrison soldiers needed is also completed.
With Wesley and Gavin leading the garrison soldiers in reclamation planting and military training,
Lynn has no need to worry too much.
What Lynn needs to do now is to return to his territory.
Dispatch Avery to Morgan Town, to lead the remaining over seven thousand idle laborers there,
and immediately invest them in the infrastructure projects in Morgan Town!
As Lynn continuously urged Mo Ying forward,
they crossed large fields of farmland and entered the mountain forest, where the canopy shields the sky.
In the mountain breeze, the leaves of the canopy kept rustling joyously.
Patches of sunlight slipped in, illuminating the somewhat deep forest.
Perhaps it was due to the Fire of Lorraine,
Lynn’s gaze instinctively and warily swept the sides of the road.
Lynn clearly and precisely saw figures flicker occasionally behind the trees in the forest.
They wore leaf clothing woven from vines and branches, almost blending into the forest.
Naturally, Lynn knew.
Those figures were the scouts he stationed at the outpost fortress, guarding in shifts.
Even though Morgan Town is now firmly under Lynn’s control,
Lynn has no intention of withdrawing them.
This forest is what separates his territory from Morgan Town.
The forest is dense with trees and slightly complex in terrain.
By stationing a few scouts at fixed points in the forest to conduct reconnaissance,
he could enhance control over forest intelligence, which is indeed worthwhile.
Lynn withdrew his gaze and urged Mo Ying forward, accelerating.
As Mo Ying galloped on,
Lynn’s previously limited view suddenly broadened.
A wide expanse of uncultivated wild grassland appeared before him.
In the gentle breeze, yellow wild grass and thorns swayed like waves.
In the center of the wild grassland, a watchtower several tens of meters high stood erect.
A few dozen meters in front of Lynn was an outpost fortress built of stone.
Though the outpost fortress wasn’t very large,
the stone walls built on the ground floor and the chevaux-de-frise and spiked fences at the forest exit,
were enough to halt any horses and wagons rushing out of the forest!
By stationing dozens of light infantry and archers there,
one could provide initial defense and warning!
This is precisely the role of the outpost fortress.
No need for Lynn to give instructions, the guards following behind immediately rode forward,
ordering the soldiers stationed at the outpost fortress to remove the chevaux-de-frise and other defensive structures at the forest exit.
In the astonished expressions of the outpost fortress soldiers, the defensive structures were removed one by one.
Lynn, galloping on Mo Ying, didn’t even need to pause or wait.
He rode past the outpost fortress, directly onto the completed red brick road.
Perhaps because of the flat and solid red brick surface,
Lynn distinctly felt,
Mo Ying’s speed increased again.
The bumpiness of riding on horseback was reduced.
This highlights the importance of infrastructure paving!
Passing through expansive wild grasslands, a towering wall at the mountain gap ahead came into Lynn’s view.
Lynn couldn’t help but urge Mo Ying faster towards the wall.
Amid the shouts of the guards clearing the way ahead,
heavy iron-plated wooden gates slowly opened with a series of creaks.
Without any hesitation, Lynn, along with Red and the guards, rode straight in.
Only after entering the gates and passing through Weng City,
the heavy gates closed with a resounding ’boom’.
Lynn’s long-tense mind slightly relaxed.
In Lynn’s view,
only after entering the walls and returning to his territory was it the safest place!
He didn’t know when it began, but
Lynn already considered this land his home!
Even though Morgan Town also had a manor castle as a defensive structure,
Lynn never felt the same way!
Exhaling a hot breath, Lynn continued spurring Mo Ying on, through the forest, heading towards the exit of his territory.
After passing through the forest, Lynn’s view broadened once more.
The difference now being that,
the golden rays of light spread down, enveloping Lynn’s entire territory in a golden hue.
Even though it had not been plowed flat, the fields were full of sandy soil lumps churned up by heavy plows,
yet far beyond the wild, desolate feeling of the weedy wasteland outside the walls.
In the fields,
a team of farmers was working under the guidance of their respective team leaders, engaged in various planting tasks.
Further in the distance,
was a small town made of red brick houses.
