Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Task
The sky had just begun to brighten.
Lynn, who woke up early, walked out of the wooden house and headed straight to the blacksmith shop.
With the recruitnt of a hundred soldiers completed, he needed to equip them with suitable gear as soon as possible.
Last night, Lynn had already made his decision.
The training and instruction of the hundred soldiers would be fully led by Commander Luo Si.
As developnt progressed and military forces expanded, a cavalry corps would be ford.
Then, these hundred n would serve as cavalry captains, commanding more cavalry.
Of course, this was only Lynn’s rough idea for now.
At present, he neither had so many soldiers nor warhorses for battles!
Training a warhorse was difficult.
First, there needed to be vast lands and resources to establish a ranch within the territory.
Carefully select stallions and mares for breeding, thus nurturing fine warhorses suited for battlefield needs!
It required spending a significant amount of ti, effort, and ticulous care to train the warhorses.
Charging, turning, obeying commands, making them fearless of sharp long spears and torches...
Hence, the price of a mature warhorse was extrely high.
An ordinary mature warhorse was priced at thirty Gold Pounds!
If it had a superior lineage, the cost would soar to fifty Gold Pounds.
For descendants of warhorses with significant battle achievents, the price could even reach over a hundred Gold Pounds!
It’s important to know that the yearly salary of an ordinary free person was less than five Gold Pounds!
To train several thousand, or even tens of thousands, of elite cavalry would be a money pit!
Currently, Lynn did not have those conditions.
Inside the blacksmith shop.
Ehrelo and Colin were already waiting.
Looking at the two, Lynn said in a deep voice, "You know the purpose of my visit!"
From the initial creation of the wheel plow to fastening tal parts for friction brakes to crafting iron picks and iron shovels for coal mining...
Ehrelo felt that it had been a long ti since he had a proper rest.
Wanting to pocket ten Gold Pounds was not as easy as he imagined.
Ehrelo took a deep breath, forcibly gathering his spirit, "Master Lynn, feel free to give your instructions."
Colin nodded in agreent.
Lynn said, "I need to rush the production of a hundred round shields!"
Lynn looked at the [resource panel], and there was still fourteen hundred pounds of quality iron remaining.
He had thought about directly crafting plate armor or padded armor.
However, with the current workforce, it was simply impossible.
Not to ntion the high-quality iron and leather needed for crafting armor.
Lynn couldn’t even et the requirent for skilled blacksmiths.
Whether it was plate armor or padded armor, even a simple standardized set would take at least a month!
The ti required was too long.
The roaming bandits were rampant.
Facing a threat that could erge at any mont, Lynn could only opt for a second-best solution.
Round shields for defense and iron spears for striking down enemies.
Even when facing over a hundred mounted bandits, they would have the strength to fight.
Each round shield didn’t consu much quality iron, and with the remaining quality iron, he could afford it.
Lynn continued, "The design of the round shield doesn’t need to be too complicated; use sturdy wood as the basic frawork, embed an iron shield center in the middle, and affix an iron rim to the edge."
"In a month, I want to see a hundred round shields!"
Ehrelo furrowed his brows, pondering for a brief mont.
He spoke up, "Master Lynn, if Colin can cooperate with ... no problem!"
Having gone through several rounds of forging and rushing orders, his blacksmith apprentices were no longer novices unfamiliar with wielding a hamr.
Plus, with the intense heat of the anthracite and Colin’s wooden frawork for the round shields,
a month’s ti would be sufficient!
Ehrelo had this confidence.
Colin nodded, "I can be responsible for making the basic frawork of the round shield!"
"Previously, when I led them to chop wood and build log cabins, I saw a lot of oak."
"Using it as the basic frawork for the round shield is suitable."
Lynn replied, "Then start imdiately; let
know what you need at once!"
Ehrelo and Colin quickly bowed.
Lynn left the wooden house, walking through the village.
In the not-too-distant training ground.
Over a hundred figures were engaging in basic instruction training.
Such as turning left, turning right, defensive stances, attack formations, and more.
If they couldn’t understand or execute even these commands, it would be like sending a scattered mob to the battlefield, just throwing themselves at danger.
...
In the distance, over a hundred people were still paving roads!
Lynn’s goal was to lay the road all the way to the end of the mountains and forests.
After hearing about the road conditions from George, Lynn deed it necessary to pave the road.
Then, at the entrance to the mountains, defensive works could be set up.
Initially, cheval de frise could be erected, and then Luo Si could lead his soldiers to garrison it.
After producing more li, they would directly construct arrow tower city walls.
The city walls would be built along the mountains, with soldiers defending from the city.
With the support of the towering mountains on both sides, it would truly achieve a state of easy defense and difficult assault.
If others wanted to enter his territory, it would be up to Lynn’s approval.
Ti passed day by day.
Several more groups of free people arrived in Lynn’s village.
From their accounts, it was learned that the Iron Blood Brotherhood had already road to Buffalo Town next to Morgan Town.
The distance from Morgan Town was just over two hundred miles.
The bandit corps were drawing closer and closer!
...
Under the cloak of night.
On the vast estate lands, a three-story mansion stood tall.
On the stone-built walls and the walnut long table covered with linen cloth tablecloths.
On the candelabras, oil-based candles were inserted, emitting a warm yellow glow, illuminating the entire mansion brightly.
Aiden, as chubby as a fat pig, sat in the main seat, continuously chewing food in his mouth.
The smacking sounds he made were very much like the sound of the two wild piglets in Lynn’s pigsty eating feed.
Three or four young maids, each holding a tray in one hand and a fork to spear food in the other, held the food to Aiden’s mouth, waiting for him to open his mouth to eat.
From a distance at the dining table, Personal Attendant Ford was waiting with his head lowered.
Half an hour later.
After the servants wiped Aiden’s mouth clean, he casually pulled a maid into his arms.
These maids were all his property, and as the Manor Lord, he could do as he pleased.
Aiden didn’t even glance at Ford, asking, "What’s the matter?"
Ford still kept his head lowered, "Master Aiden, Wood has been away to the Marquis’s Castle for a long ti and still hasn’t returned..."
Aiden suddenly paused.
He gazed directly at Ford, "How long has he been gone?"
Ford started to think in his mind.
"Master, it should be twelve days... If there were no delays, he should have returned by now."
Aiden’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Let’s wait a little longer, he might not have been able to et Ducas, the old man."
For a ssenger follower to et a Great Lord wasn’t easy.
Let alone a follower, even if he himself went to the Marquis’s Castle, he might not see Ducas!
Aiden changed his tone, his voice deepening.
"I sent you to investigate that piece of land, how has the investigation been?"
Ford’s face showed slight tension, explaining.
"Master, that area has only one entrance, and it’s guarded by patrols. The people I brought couldn’t get in..."
Aiden widened his eyes, "Useless!"
