System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 745 - 250: In Morgan Town, I Make the Rules (10,000) (4)

Chapter 745: Chapter 250: In Morgan Town, I Make the Rules (10,000) (4)

As the speed was too fast, a cloud of dust rose up behind the cavalry team.

Several minutes later, the cavalry approached the manor castle.

Janet finally made out the burly man at the front of the cavalry team; it was Joao Frank.

With the grinding noise of heavy chains descending, the wooden gate of the castle lowered to the ground.

Under Janet’s gaze, the cavalry team entered the manor castle.

As the gate of the manor castle gradually closed behind them.

Joao’s tall and burly figure ascended the steps from below.

His eyes swept around, soon landing on the detailed silhouette of Janet not far away.

Without any hesitation, Joao strode over.

Arriving behind Janet, Joao called, "I’m back, Janet."

Janet turned around, looking at the dust-covered Joao, and revealed a look of relief, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle."

"Traveling all night to Wind Hill and then rushing back in a hurry..."

"Presumably, the mercenary corps from Wind Hill has been arranged?"

Joao nodded in response, "It’s been arranged, Janet."

"Just as you instructed, to avoid the mercenary corps taking money and doing nothing."

"I changed the payment method of the hire fee to tax collection from the townsmen and merchants."

"Although the leader of the Blade Wind Corps was somewhat reluctant, he eventually agreed."

Speaking of this.

Joao shifted the topic, "However..."

Janet frowned slightly, "However?"

"Uncle Joao, you might as well speak directly."

"Now, at Frank Manor, only the two of us are left."

"No matter what happens in the future, we are destined to depend on each other..."

Joao nodded heavily and said, "However, Janet."

"Is it really wise to withdraw our forces stationed in Morgan Town and leave it to a mercenary corps for supervision?"

"Even if we impose head taxes and other taxes on Morgan Town, as long as we don’t harm the townsmen’s livelihood."

"They won’t revolt no matter what."

"But now handing it over to the Blade Wind Corps, if I were there with the soldiers, perhaps they could be suppressed."

"If I am not there... I cannot guarantee what might happen in Morgan Town..."

Having personally sought out the mercenary corps, Joao naturally understood what kind of existence the Blade Wind Corps was.

After all.

They were nothing but a gang assembled from thieves, bandits, gamblers, rapists, and so on.

Janet pondered in silence.

A few seconds later.

She looked directly at Joao and asked, "I know, Uncle Joao."

"But, besides the Blade Wind Corps, can you find any other armed forces to cooperate with our Frank Manor?"

Joao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

"The armed strength of Frank Manor... Uncle Joao, you understand better than I."

"Even after recruiting soldiers for so long and spending a fortune on weapons and armor."

"We have barely managed to muster an armored force of eight hundred men."

Joao nodded to show his agreement.

Janet continued speaking.

"Among them, only five hundred are cavalry, the rest are infantry, and a thousand are unarmored infantry."

"Even with an additional hundred archers..."

"With such military strength, how can we possibly resist the attack of Lynn’s fully armed soldiers?"

"Uncle Joao, you know."

"In the last battle, Lynn took all the labor force from the three great estates for his own use!"

"My rough estimate is at least over five thousand people!"

Joao listened quietly.

Janet’s face was solemn.

"What does over five thousand people mean?"

"Uncle Joao, it means a massive population!"

"You must know, Lynn’s territory contains coal and iron mines ripe for exploitation."

"And there are blacksmiths who can transform coal and iron into armor and weapons!"

"With a large population, combined with armor and weapons, a fully armed army could be formed!"

Reaching this point.

Janet’s chest, tightly encased in leather, rose and fell rapidly.

Causing the curve of that snow-white expanse to become ever more pronounced.

But neither Janet nor Joao had the mind to address this at the moment.

Crisis!

Janet felt a strong sense of crisis from behind that city wall!

Despite being a woman.

Despite having not personally killed many people.

However.

Janet considered herself to have an extraordinary military talent.

Why would Lynn offer her, or rather Frank Manor, military assistance?

She could intuitively understand.

Lynn wanted food, labor, and Gold Pounds.

He wanted to use the military aid she requested to rightfully expand from his territory, to plunder others!

After entering the city walls, she had seen the prosperity and rapid development of Lynn’s territory.

But she also knew that Lynn’s territory was still in the early stages of development.

There was a large amount of undeveloped, weed-ridden land.

A great deal of labor was needed for development and construction.

At the same time, to meet the daily needs of this large labor force.

He also needed a large supply of food!

This explained why Lynn only wanted peasants and other goods from the three great estates.

Lynn did not need more land right now!

As for why Lynn didn’t wait for the three great estates to become exhausted fighting Frank Manor.
