CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 187: SLAUGHTERER (10,000 WORDS)

The hearts of the three of them grew increasingly uneasy.

A few meters ahead of Lynn, they stopped.

Bowing slightly, they nervously addressed him in unison.

"Master Lynn."

Lynn responded, saying, "Avery Dean, Lorenzo Reeves, Jode Tek?"

Upon hearing this, the tension on their faces instantly turned to surprise.

As the Lord of six to seven thousand townsmen, he could remember their names so precisely?

A faint sense of surprise and excitement spread through their hearts.

Avery glanced at the two beside him from the corner of his eye and saw they were silent.

He sighed inwardly and responded, saying, "Lord, I am Avery, he is Lorenzo, and this is Jode..."

Seeing Avery explain for the two of them, they both relaxed a little and nodded in agreement.

Lynn looked at Avery, who had spoken, and asked, "Tell me, before coming to this territory, what work did you do?"

Avery bowed slightly and continued explaining, "Lord, construction of houses, the three of us were responsible for helping the Lord build houses."

Lorenzo and Jode nodded again in agreement.

Lynn responded, "What kind of houses? Tell me in detail."

Avery seemed to perceive the intention in Lynn’s words.

Without any hesitation, he directly said, "Like some cellars, castle residences, residential areas, and even monasteries, we all have construction experience."

"Moreover, it was us three who took charge, leading construction workers for on-site construction and building!"

He spoke clearly and succinctly.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction, "Very good."

"Do you have experience in constructing watchtowers, outpost fortresses, or Weng Cities?"

Listening to Lynn’s words, Avery seemed to be recalling something.

Two seconds later.

He spoke, "We could try with watchtowers and outpost fortresses; it shouldn’t be much of a problem."

In his previous territory, the lord had them construct watchtowers.

He had also seen many outpost fortresses; if there are enough laborers and materials, construction is not difficult.

Avery said somewhat awkwardly, "But as for Weng City... I don’t know what you mean, Lord..."

Lynn, without any reservation, directly began to explain to them.

"The defensive principles of Weng City... First, alter the enemy’s attack rhythm and direction; the Weng City gate and the main city gate are not on the same line, so when the enemy breaks through the gate, they can’t advance straightforwardly."

"Second, create crossing fire; soldiers on the Weng City walls and the main city gate walls can shoot from multiple directions; the enemy flooding into the Weng City will face attacks from several directions."

"Third, close the gate and catch them like dogs; after the enemy rushes into the walls, you can drop the heavy portcullis, cutting off their rear and escape routes, etc..."

"Overall, it’s similar to the first floor of the castle where you’re standing now."

"You can use it as a reference to build the Weng City!"

Avery said nothing, lowering his head in thought over Lynn’s words.

Half a minute later.

Avery raised his head, his face full of confidence, "Lord, I understand."

"As long as you provide enough construction workers and materials, I guarantee to construct the building you want!"

Lynn stared straight at Avery, "Are you sure you understand the structural principles of building a Weng City?"

Avery, without any guilt, shook his head, "Lord, not yet."

"But, I firmly believe that as long as I study, there is no building I can’t construct."

"No matter how intricate a building’s structure is, it’s just an inanimate object!"

"Since others can build the Weng City you need under the castle, I can surely construct a Weng City elsewhere!"

Seeing Avery’s determined gaze, Lynn said approvingly, "Very well!"

"I need a Weng City built within the city wall to strengthen its defenses."

"At the same time, I will appoint you as the foreman of the stonemason workshop, and Lorenzo and Jode will become your assistants. It will be up to you to lead the construction workers to build the watchtowers, outpost fortresses, and Weng City."

"Do you think you can do this?"

As the words fell, Lynn’s gaze locked onto Avery.

Facing Lynn’s gaze, Avery remained steadfast, "I can do it, Lord!"

Lynn nodded, "Very well, from now on, you are the foreman of the stonemason workshop. Currently, the labor force is limited, so construction workers cannot yet be allocated to you."

"What you need to do now is go to the city wall, select a suitable site to build the stonemason workshop, and choose construction sites for the watchtower and outpost fortress!"

Avery answered confidently, "Yes, Lord, we will go at once."

Amid the sound of Avery and his companions taking their leave, the three of them exited the reception hall.

Compared to when they came, Avery and his companions’ previous unease and nervousness were gone.

Now their steps were steady, each step bringing a gust of wind!

Just as Avery said, he may not know how to build a Weng City, but he has the confidence to construct one.

Moreover, with the reference of the Weng City under the castle for guidance.

Even if he doesn’t succeed, Avery can return to the castle to inquire and ask for guidance.

This attitude is much stronger than the stammering Lorenzo and Jode beside him.

Even if they had the ability, Lynn wouldn’t consider them for the role of foreman of the stonemason workshop.

Avery is the kind of talent he desires.

As for whether the three of them would seize the opportunity to escape when looking for sites for the watchtower or outpost fortress outside the city walls...

Lynn has never worried about that.

Not to mention, after appointing Avery, his loyalty is above 88%↑.
