Chapter 897: Chapter 275: Commander
All the traveling rchants who co will be under his control.
Therefore.
The lords or manor lords around Kakasong City, in order to reduce or even eliminate tax.
Have no choice but to offer their support and loyalty to Jon Zuck, the ruler of Kakasong City, even providing military assistance!
Even if now, his combined ard forces are stronger than Jon Zuck’s.
He still needs to obtain detailed intelligence and devise a ticulous plan before he’ll issue the order to attack Kakasong City!
Of course.
This is just a setup of his own.
A lord with the title of Viscount is naturally not comparable to the few manor lords he has annihilated!
Not to ntion.
Attacking the towering city walls of Kakasong City could cost him many troops.
The supporters offering loyalty behind the Viscount alone are enough for him to contend with.
However.
Lynn rethought.
Even if he does not attack Kakasong City.
Or rather.
Jon Zuck leads his supporters and their army approaches.
He can still rely on the walls and Weng City for defense!
Attacking and breaching his walls and Weng City won’t be easy either!
Because within his walls and Weng City, there are nurous large-scale defensive chanisms!
Ultimately.
The most fundantal and direct way to resolve this matter is — overwhelming military power!
If at this mont, he had tens of thousands of fully ard soldiers.
He wouldn’t need to care about Jon Zuck’s attitude towards hiring and taking away free people.
Nor would he need to inquire about Jon Zuck’s military strength.
He wouldn’t need to concern himself with how many supporters Jon Zuck has, or how much military force they have!
He could pressure with a mighty army, march directly into Kakasong City.
And replace Jon Zuck directly!
No matter if he’s a Viscount or what title he holds.
Absolute military power can crush everything!
However.
Now he only has just over four thousand soldiers in total.
He can only advance step by step slowly.
The worst-case plan.
Is to abandon the land of Morgan Town and recall all the farr-soldiers back to the territory.
But even if he has to abandon it, he still needs to harvest the crops in Morgan Town’s fields as much as possible!
Only with more food can he feed more townsn and recruit more soldiers!
Putting aside his thoughts temporarily, Lynn had already arrived at the edge of the farmland where barley was being harvested.
Under the gaze of a team of farrs transporting barley, he joined the barley harvesting team.

...
Bit by bit, the experience once again increased.
Lynn, with a thought, opened the Heavenly Artifacts panel and took a glance.
[Collection: Level 3 (376/1000)] ( )
Several days of continuous harvesting had significantly increased his Collection skill experience.
The distance to leveling up is indeed sowhat far.
But as long as he keeps at it every day, the Collection skill will surely level up soday.
As Lynn was leading the farrs in the barley harvest.
Ti passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
After all the townsn finished work, Lynn blended into the crowd of farrs.
Under the glow of the golden sunset, they returned to the small town.
Perhaps due to Lynn’s presence, waves of idle chatter continuously arose.
Of course.
The farrs’ conversations always revolved around food, children, and won.
The thing they most loved to talk about, naturally, was what they did with their wives after dinner and night school’s literacy campaign.
Lynn didn’t mind this at all.
At present, the territory is still in a high-production developnt mode.
The core of everything remains ensuring that the townsn have enough to eat and drink, ensuring the safety of the townsn, and ensuring that the territory’s developnt isn’t hindered.
...
Compared to the quiet developnt in Lynn Territory.
At this mont, on a road through a mountainside forest.
Soldiers in standard plate armor, wearing bucket helts, with greatswords at their waists and a large black iron-wooden shield on their backs, were marching in step.
As the marching troops passed, the sound of solid footsteps and the clattering collision of tal between the plate armor components nearly lded into one.
Whoosh whoosh~
Clang clang~
Even though the sun had set below the horizon.
The golden light still dyed the clouds in the sky a shade of red-orange.
The clouds looked like clusters of flas igniting the sky.
Amid this fiery sky, the lengthened marching troop in plate armor and the shields on their backs, and on the fluttering flags...
There was the emblem of a crossed greatsword and shield!
That is the family emblem of the Ducas Clan!
At the front of the troop.
Several hundred cavalryn were advancing on horseback.
They, too, wore the specially tailored standard plate armor of the Sword and Shield Corps.
With urging calls, a young man on a warhorse moved to the front.
Slightly slowing the pace of his warhorse, alongside, Danke spoke to Godfrey.
"Commander, after inspection, the marching state of the 30,000 Sword and Shield Corps soldiers is all normal!"
Hearing Danke’s words, Godfrey’s brows furrowed for a mont.
He turned his gaze to the burly man on his left side.
Before Godfrey could open his mouth to remind, Danke imdiately rembered sothing.
He quickly spoke again: "Please instruct us, Lord Lawrence."
Lawrence, riding a purely white pure-blood warhorse, upon hearing Danke’s words.
With eyes fixed forward on the road, he casually remarked.
"Knight, I believe you’ve asked the wrong person?"
"For this campaign, Godfrey Harvey is the commander."
"I am rely a battlefield advisor."
Listening to Lawrence’s indifferent tone, both Godfrey and Danke furrowed their brows.
However, Godfrey’s frown only lasted a mont before returning to normal.
He respectfully bent slightly to Lawrence and said.
"Lord Lawrence, I think you might have misunderstood..."
"The Marquis appointed
as the commander, but as a battlefield advisor, you still hold direct command over the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers."
"Because you, like the Marquis, are a descendant of Lord Donovan Ducas."
