System: Build My Own Territory

Watching the slightly breathless Sienna, whose face had turned a rosy hue.

Lynn’s eyebrows rose involuntarily, repeating Sienna’s words.

“A large-scale war broke out in Kakasong City?”

Sienna affirmed.

“Yes, Master Lynn!”

“The jay that flew from Kakasong City said so.”

“A large number of people are walking through the streets within the city, converging towards the church building.”

“A fierce and brutal armed force entered Kakasong City, commiting arson, murder, and plunder…”

“Finally, a battle took place in a wide-open square!”

“Corpses covered the ground, blood flowed like rivers…”

“…”

Listening to Sienna’s words tinged with lingering fear.

Lynn nodded slightly and continued to ask.

“Aside from this, did you hear any other information from the jay?”

Sienna recalled for a few seconds, and replied.

“Master Lynn, that’s all for now…”

Lynn responded: “I already know about the situation in Kakasong City.”

“The information you’ve reported is very useful to me!”

Sienna’s expression slightly relaxed.

Lynn continued: “If there are no other matters at the farm, if you’re feeling a bit scared…”

“Stay in the town today, and sleep with your aunt.”

“I believe she would be very happy for you to stay with her for a night…”

Even though Sienna possesses the wizard’s lineage and has powerful abilities.

She is, after all, only nine years old.

In the end, she is still just a child.

Sienna bent slightly to respond.

“Thank you, Master Lynn.”

Lynn nodded, directly dismissing Sienna.

Watching Sienna gradually walk away and finally disappear at the corner of the large red brick houses, Lynn withdrew his gaze.

Gazing into the distance, looking beyond the town.

In the slightly chilly sky, a bright full moon shone brightly.

But it was no longer as scorching as it was in the summer.

The thoughts in Lynn’s mind spun quickly, pondering over Sienna’s recent report.

Even if Gaspar, who is lurking in Kakasong City, has yet to personally or send someone back to report.

Lynn could be certain.

Led by Sir Ludovico Dons, the free nobles hired the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps.

Taking advantage of the night and while Simo was not in Kakasong City, launched an attack on the Church!

Currently, with Simo, the bishop, absent from Kakasong City.

It could be said to be leaderless.

However.

As long as the clergy of the Church sound the bell, assembling the city’s numerous believers.

Even if these believers haven’t undergone any military training, they remain a formidable force.

Added with the church guard and the newly recruited believer soldiers…

The free nobles and the Furious Giant Bear Mercenary Corps also possess a considerable armed force.

Over a thousand armed mercenaries, along with the internal cooperation from the city’s free nobles!

Even Lynn finds it hard to predict who will emerge victorious in this war and become the ruler of Kakasong City.

At this moment.

A semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of Lynn’s eyes.

[Task: Capture Kakasong City, become the Lord of Kakasong City]

[Reward: Depending on completion level]

Looking at the text on the panel, Lynn’s eyebrows slightly rose.

The task has appeared once again.

Closed the text panel.

Lynn pondered briefly…

Currently Kakasong City is indeed experiencing war.

Whether it’s the city wall defense or soldier strength, it’s at its weakest.

Plus the number of armored soldiers Lynn possesses…

As long as Lynn is willing.

Lynn can easily conquer Kakasong City!

However.

Lynn ultimately gave up the idea of immediately mobilizing his soldiers from the territory to launch an attack on Kakasong City.

Firstly.

Whether it’s Lynn’s territory or Morgan Town.

Or the adjacent Boxi Town and Alba Town.

All require Lynn to invest a lot of time in planning and development.

Staff arrangement, land cultivation and planting, irrigation and public facilities, defense construction, and so forth…

If the existing land isn’t utilized well.

If the farmland’s inherent production capacity isn’t maximized.

With Lynn already short on management talent, it’s challenging to manage vast tracts of land.

There’s even a significant possibility that poor management could lead to farmer rebellions in parts of the land!

Rather than wear oneself out suppressing and purging later.

It’s better to manage the owned land meticulously step by step.

Enhance and increase the yield of the land, achieving a bountiful harvest from agricultural production.

Appoint suitable and capable managerial talents, ensuring every piece of land and industry develops smoothly under control.

After achieving all this, then launch wars beyond the territory, expanding the territorial map.

In Lynn’s view, this is the best decision-making method.

Blindly waging wars abroad, expanding the territory’s range.

But in the end.

It’s nothing more than picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons!

As for who will ultimately control Kakasong City and become the new leader!

Lynn does not care.

As long as there is strong military power – other people’s territories are just Lynn’s granary!

As Lynn gazed beyond the town.

On the lime road across large swathes of farmland, a stretched-out shadow is marching toward the town.

They are clad in composite armor, wearing iron helmets, and their faces are covered by masks.

Their steps are orderly and uniform, with each step producing a heavy sound of footsteps and the collision and friction of armor components.

At the very front of the squad, riding on a warhorse, is Rose!

The horse’s hooves create a crisp ‘dada’ sound as they pass by.
