Chapter 1226: Chapter 330: This Is the True Lord (10,000 Words)_5
As the steward appointed by Master Lynn, Kuisi must effectively issue various instructions and ensure that everyone completes their tasks.
Kuisi had to maintain a cold demeanor, preventing anyone from questioning or resisting her.
Only in this way.
Could Kuisi manage the territory well in Master Lynn’s absence.
Seeing Lynn’s silence, Kuisi explained.
"Master, Kuisi has already instructed the kitchen chefs, who are currently cooking and preparing food, and maids to prepare hot water."
"In just a moment, Master, you can have your meal and enjoy a bath."
Lynn hummed in response to show acknowledgment.
Being sensible, Kuisi did not say anything unnecessary and retreated with a bow.
Leaving Master Lynn to rest on the lord’s throne.
Even if Kuisi was the person who has known Master Lynn the longest.
Kuisi was well aware that she was only the steward appointed by Master Lynn.
Master Lynn was the lord of this territory, the lord of all of Morgan Town!
Sitting on the lord’s throne.
Lynn’s eyes swept over the decorations in the reception hall.
Although not as intricate or luxurious as the manor castles in Morgan Town.
Here.
Lynn felt more familiar and comfortable.
Exhaling a warm breath, while waiting for the chefs to cook the food.
Thoughts in Lynn’s mind started to turn rapidly.
The development planning in Morgan Town had already been arranged and mostly completed.
Now back to the territory.
Lynn needed to start considering and planning the development direction of the territory!
The first.
Is naturally the Blacksmith Workshop!
The previously used iron smelting furnace had already been dismantled.
Lynn needs to immediately arrange for personnel to invest in the construction of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.
Only by constructing the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.
Can the Blacksmith Workshop smelt and forge low-carbon, high-quality steel.
With higher quality steel, Lynn can use it across the various industrial needs for steel tool production.
For example, both the clearing of the territory and Morgan Town require Wheel Plows.
Under the same traction force from two oxen, naturally, the heavier and sharper the plow, the higher the cultivation efficiency!
Steel heavy plows can more effectively cut the knotted roots in the soil, even breaking stones!
The second.
Is the forging of armor and weapons in the Blacksmith Workshop!
During the construction of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace, Lynn needs to further optimize the armor worn by the soldiers.
Aside from the ’Iron Butcher’ heavy padded armor and horse armor required by the heavy cavalry.
The armor of the heavy and light infantry, light cavalry, and archers all need optimization.
For instance.
The role of heavy infantry is to be the frontline shield.
Forming a wall of shields to withstand impacts, with a focus on protecting their torso and head.
With the current technology and conditions in Lynn’s territory.
The best-suited armor for heavy infantry is naturally the Composite Armor!
Similar to the current Composite Armor, using a combination of padded armor and plate armor.
But forged using the steel smelted from the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.
In doing so.
Not only ensuring high resistance to slashing but also to piercing.
The downside of Composite Armor is its.
Heaviness, insufficient protection against blunt weapons and strong crossbows, and general breathability.
However.
To ensure the defensive performance of Composite Armor, naturally, some other performance aspects are compromised.
The role of light infantry is to be skirmishers, scouts, or to assist heavy infantry.
They are not intended nor suitable for direct combat with the enemy.
Lynn initially thought of.
Using a large amount of leather, riveted with iron nails or rings, to equip light infantry with Leather Armor!
Leather Armor is highly breathable, lightweight, approximately fifteen pounds.
But soon.
Lynn abandoned this idea.
Because the development time of Lynn’s territory is still short, unable to produce leather.
Lynn can purchase leather from traveling merchants.
But the purchased leather still needs to be used for making leather linings for various armors.
In other words.
Relying on purchasing leather from traveling merchants simply cannot facilitate large-scale Leather Armor production!
Lynn even felt.
Equipping light infantry with Leather Armor was far more difficult than equipping them with Scale Armor!
Once the Blacksmith Apprentice taught by Flint learns how to create Scale Armor with Chain Liner.
Lynn can disseminate these blacksmith apprentices.
Having them lead and teach new blacksmith apprentices to conduct large-scale forging of Scale Armor with Chain Liner.
Perhaps, in the short term, Lynn cannot obtain large quantities of Scale Armor from these blacksmith apprentices.
But as time progresses.
The number of blacksmith apprentices mastering the forging techniques increases, Lynn will be able to continuously acquire Scale Armor with Chain Liner!
The weight of a set of Scale Armor with Chain Liner is about thirty pounds.
Lynn can further optimize it.
To control the weight of the Scale Armor with Chain Liner to about fifteen pounds.
Scale Armor only needs to protect the light infantry against slashes and stray arrows, suitable for medium-range melee.
That’s sufficient.
The strategic role of light cavalry mirrors that of light infantry somewhat.
Mainly responsible for reconnaissance, harassment attacks, and pursuit.
With warhorse riding, light cavalry can fully wear normal-weight Scale Armor with Chain Liner.
Ensuring the safety of light cavalry during rapid maneuvers and combat operations.
Currently, Lynn has five hundred archers, all wearing heavy Composite Armor weighing dozens of pounds.
Whether marching or in battle.
This heavily affects their speed and restricts their flexibility.
