System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 407: Chapter 194: The Ducas Clan Is Falling Apart (10,000 Words)_6

Upon thinking about this, Lynn roughly understood everything.

Apart from this reason, he couldn’t think of any other cause.

As for why Lawrence led the army in the direction of Wind Hill...

Lynn did not care.

As long as Lawrence led his army away from Morgan Town.

That meant his territorial crisis was temporarily resolved!

This was what concerned Lynn the most.

He would have more time to continue developing his territory!

After sending Jeremy away, Lynn walked towards the town, his steps becoming lighter.

Upon learning that Lawrence had brought three thousand soldiers of the Sword and Shield Corps to Morgan Town.

The pressure on Lynn instantly reached its peak.

If Lawrence knew of his existence and reported his identity to Mark Ducas.

Three thousand regular troops would attack the territory.

Then, his nearly year-long efforts in developing the territory would turn into nothing, and he would even face life-threatening danger.

If such a day truly came, even if there was an opportunity to escape, he would still choose to stay and fight.

He would rather live and die with this land!

Because even if he escaped.

It would be hard to find another piece of land suitable for planting, or within such a close range, an open-pit salt mine, an iron mine, and a coal mine.

Backed by the Aladia River, it boasted inexhaustible water and river fish resources.

With a towering mountain range ahead, once a city wall was built, countless dangers could be kept outside the town!

Paired with the merchants he got to know and the slaves acquired through purchase and exchange, this loyalty cultivated over this period of time.

It can be said.

In less than a year, Lynn turned the barren land beneath his feet into a prosperous small town.

He possessed the right timing, geographical advantage, and human resources!

Additionally, with the impending imperial power struggle...

He could not leave this place!

This was where his roots lay!

...

Returning to the town, Lynn approached the granite boulder being sculpted.

After a few days of sculpting, the ten-meter-tall boulder finally revealed a general outline.

On a rectangular pedestal a few meters high, a tall, imposing figure rode a massive horse.

Since it was just a preliminary outline, both the human and horse figures appeared bloated and indistinct.

He had previously instructed Jode to freely decide the statue’s action and posture.

Mounted on a galloping horse, it was quite impressive.

After gazing for a while.

Lynn stepped towards the textile workshop.

Last night, Kuisi reported to him.

The textile workshop had already assembled several sets of padded armor and combined them with the modified chest armor.

Arriving at the textile workshop, female workers were already engrossed in stitching armor plates, although their hands seemed slightly inexperienced to Lynn.

But he did not mind.

Under Rachel’s guidance, learning to stitch armor plates is, indeed, a strong testament to their learning ability.

After a quick glance around, Yimini and Rachel approached Lynn with measured steps.

Both bowed slightly, respectfully addressing, ”Master.”

Lynn responded, looking at both, ”Is the composite armor completed?”

Yimini replied, ”Yes, Master. Under Rachel’s expert guidance, two sets of composite armor have been completed!”

”Master, please follow me.”

Led by Yimini and Rachel, Lynn walked through the textile workshop into the finished goods storage area, under the observant eyes of the female workers.

Stepping through the door, two sets of armor hung on wooden racks came into Lynn’s view.

The helmets and chest armor were still cast using sand boxes.

An integrated chest plate and helmet better protect the vital parts of the wearers!

The shoulder, abdominal, and skirt armors were interwoven with armor plates and hemp ropes, and cut pieces of leather served as the armor’s lining.

Ensuring the wearer’s skin isn’t directly exposed to the armor plates.

While protecting soldiers from being scraped by the plates, it also provided cushioning!

After a few glances, Lynn turned to Red and said, ”Red, go and try it on.”

”Afterward, all territory guards will wear composite armor!”

The greatest advantage of composite armor was its light weight, coupled with excellent protection.

This was why he wanted to modify the standard plate armor.

Without hesitation, Red stepped into the wooden rack and began the fitting with Yimini and Rachel’s help.

Piece by piece, the armor plates were fitted onto Red’s body.

After half an hour.

The entire set of composite armor was successfully worn.

Looking at Red, Lynn couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Red’s physique was robust, and after donning the composite armor, in the blink of an eye, his entire body seemed impenetrable like a wall.

His entire frame expanded by a full circle!

Wearing the black-gray helmet, the unified chest armor in front, coupled with the padded armor woven from hemp ropes and black armor plates.

The overall dark appearance was punctuated with brown leather and beige hemp ropes.

The fierce metallic appearance was thus softened with touches of warmth.

Ideal for use by the guards within the territory.

Lynn addressed Red, ”Walk around and see if there’s any discomfort.”

Red nodded slightly, stepping forward and walking around the storage area.

Clink~ clink~

Each step came with the soft clinking of armor plates.

The composite armor, essentially layered plates, inevitably produced collision sounds.

After several rounds, Red spoke, ”Master, there’s no discomfort whatsoever.”

”At this weight, I should be able to run or jump!”

Hearing Red’s words, Yimini and Rachel were momentarily surprised.

Wearing a set of composite armor, Red was still able to run and jump?

However.

When recalling the thirty-pound weight of the composite armor, compared to Red’s robust build, it indeed wasn’t much.

With satisfaction, Lynn nodded, turning to Yimini and Rachel, ”Make the future composite armor to these specifications.”

”With the current manpower in the textile workshop, how many sets of composite armor can be made each day?”

Yimini remained silent, stepping back slightly and looking at Rachel, signaling her to explain to Lynn.

Noticing Yimini’s gesture, gratitude emerged in Rachel’s heart.

Rachel quickly explained, ”Master, with the current three hundred people in the textile workshop, given the stitching required, the combining with chest plates, and making leather liners, we can’t produce too many composite armor sets each day.”

”Currently, at most, only five or six sets can be made.”

Lynn nodded and asked Rachel, ”If I want the textile workshop to produce twenty sets of composite armor each day.”

”What assistance do you require from me?”
