CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 177: SHE IS THE DEVIL (10,000 WORDS)

After arranging everything, Lynn looked at the thousand townspeople who had already entered a working state and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the current logging efficiency and raw wood processing efficiency are slow.

But as they continue with the logging and production, it will only take a few days for their efficiency to improve.

Until dusk.

Only then did Lynn set down the axe in his hand and had the guards notify everyone that they could stop working and return to the town for rest.

All the townspeople packed up their tools, gathering in groups of three or five, chatting leisurely as they headed back to the town.

Lynn did not ride a horse but walked among the crowd with Red.

Some townspeople with smiles on their faces saw Lynn and instinctively bent their bodies slightly as a sign of respect.

Listening to the cheerful and casual conversations of the townspeople, Lynn felt an inexplicable comfort.

Half an hour later.

Lynn returned to the town.

Just as he sat on a bench in front of a red brick house, George walked over.

Approaching Lynn, George said respectfully, "Master."

Lynn glanced at him and said, "What’s the matter?"

George did not hesitate and began to explain.

"Master, during your time out, Mr. Boer came to the town."

"He brought fifty thousand pounds of barley and ten thousand pounds of meat..."

Lynn nodded, "Very good. You can manage such transactions yourself."

George bent slightly and continued, "By the way, sir, Mr. Boer also said that the area outside the territory is becoming increasingly chaotic."

"Not long ago, the Iron Blood Brotherhood raided Manila Town, where townspeople either died or fled..."

"Many townspeople were even forced to join the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps, which now has a scale of at least a thousand!"

"Even several lords of Morgan Town have dispatched numerous guards and followers into a high alert state."

George paused before continuing, "He also said that if the situation becomes urgent, to avoid unnecessary losses, they might reduce the frequency of transporting goods by carriage to your territory..."

After listening to George, Lynn nodded and said, "I understand."

George bowed and said, "Then, Master, I will withdraw for now."

Lynn acknowledged with a sound.

If what Boer said is true and the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps has nearly a thousand people in scale, there is indeed nothing to fear.

Not to mention.

Just the ten-meter-high city wall at the mountain pass is enough to keep them out!

Plus, now with the blacksmith workshop producing standard plate armor daily...

Lynn glanced at the [Resource Management] panel, which now had nearly four hundred sets.

Once the five hundred complete sets of standard plate armor are finished, and the remaining four hundred chest and plate armors are also complete.

When the trained soldiers have completed their training.

Then for this territory, Lynn would have some initial armed forces!

Two hundred heavy cavalry, three hundred heavy infantry, plus two hundred archers, two hundred light infantry...

For those Great Lord Nobility with tens of thousands of cavalry and several tens of thousands of infantry, these forces indeed mean little.

However, for ordinary wandering bandits, it’s more than sufficient.

Lynn even thought that if conditions permitted, he might lead this group of soldiers to war against the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps.

Only soldiers who have undergone the baptism of iron and blood can be deemed qualified!

Otherwise, they’re just rookie soldiers.

After resting for a while on the bench, Lynn headed towards the castle with Red.

Approaching the iron gate of the castle, Red’s steps became hesitant.

Lynn turned back and looked at Red, "What’s wrong?"

Red hesitated in his speech and said, "Master, will I also live in here in the future?"

Lynn raised his eyebrows and said, "Unwilling?"

Hearing this, Red quickly shook his head and explained, "Master, you’ve misunderstood."

"What I mean is... I’m just an ordinary person."

Before meeting Master Lynn, he was just a farmer who could hunt.

Never in his wildest dreams had he thought that one day he would be able to live in such a castle.

Lynn smiled faintly and said, "You’re not an ordinary person now; you’re my Guard Captain!"

Listening to Lynn’s words, a slight pause appeared on Red’s face.

But thinking back, since following Lynn, his life indeed changed dramatically.

Moved into a red brick house, had enough food.

No longer had to take some meat into the forest to fight with wild animals.

No longer had to worry about bandit attacks!

Moreover, Master Lynn bestowed upon him the position of Guard Captain!

All of this was because, at the beginning, he and Kuisi chose to stay by Master Lynn’s side.

All of this was given to them by Master Lynn.

Looking at Master Lynn’s smiling face, Red nodded firmly, "Yes, Master."

As four guards respectfully addressed him, Lynn led Red into the castle.

Walking through the winding passages in Weng City, Red’s eyes scanned everything around.

He seemed to want to commit the layout of the entire castle to memory.

As Guard Captain, he naturally had to know the castle better than the lord, Lynn.

If any mishap occurred, he would need to lead Lynn out of here promptly.

Upon reaching the second-floor hall, Lynn gazed through the dark blue window into the distance.

The sky had already started to darken.

Maids bustled around the hall, each one holding a fire stick, lighting oil lamps on the walls.
