Chapter 796: Chapter 259: Let Me Give You a Massage (10,000 Words)

At Lynn’s instruction, the guard quickly withdrew.

A few minutes later.

The guard galloped away into the darkness beyond the town, riding horseback and holding a torch aloft.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, turning to the other guards.

"You all, gather the six thousand townsfolk currently responsible for the construction of red brick houses and the clearing of the overgrown wasteland."

The other guards also quickly responded and withdrew swiftly.

Although it was nighttime, finding all six thousand people to bring back wasn’t difficult because of the clarity regarding their life levels and temporary resting areas.

Watching the guards around him leave, only Red remained standing by his side.

There was a slight relief in Lynn’s heart.

His mind held a steadfast thought—so long as there was a sufficient population, and enough grain.

Then we must spare no effort in recruiting soldiers and expanding the army.

Only with strong military strength can this territory be secured and everyone’s lives preserved.

Otherwise.

When the enemy army bears down on us, all that awaits is enslavement or death!

The guard sent to convey the orders left hastily and returned just as swiftly. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Before long.

A team of armored horsemen, illuminated by the light of torches in their hands.

Charged swiftly toward the Lord’s Square.

Perhaps it was because the number of horsemen was overwhelming, the momentum too grand.

The townsmen strolling and resting in the Lord’s Square, their expressions tense, gazed at these armored soldiers in confusion.

However.

When they saw these cavalry dismount from their steeds and rush directly to the Lord seated on the bench.

A slight sense of relief washed over their hearts.

Evidently, these cavalry were dispatched by their Lord.

At the forefront of the horsemen.

Clad in heavy standard plate armor, Rose strode forward, arriving before Lynn.

Rose bent down to salute, "Master!"

Lynn acknowledged with a sound, directly addressing Rose bluntly, "Report the number of soldiers in the camp."

Upon hearing this, Rose, without any hesitation, answered, "Master, excluding the territory guards and those lost in several battles."

"There are now two thousand seven hundred forty-two soldiers in the camp."

"Among them, there are two hundred ninety-seven heavy cavalry, three hundred heavy infantry, three hundred forty-eight light cavalry, five hundred archers, and one thousand two hundred ninety-seven light infantry."

Listening to Rose’s report, Lynn nodded and said, "I will have the guards summon personnel from Morgan Town and Frank Manor."

"I need you to select one thousand two hundred fifty-eight from the over six thousand people to become soldiers."

"These soldiers will initially be led by you, proceeding with corresponding directive training, physical training, and basic weapon training."

Whether they are cavalry or infantry.

These soldiers must first and foremost possess a robust and powerful physique!

Rose promptly responded, "Yes, Master!"

In the exchange between Lynn and Rose, squads of townsmen were led by guards to gather.

Ultimately, over six thousand townsmen converged in the Lord’s Square.

The faces of these townsmen showed confusion, tension, or...

Murmurs arose intermittently from their mouths.

They had learned from the guards that, by the Lord’s command, all were being gathered.

But as to the reason, they remained in the dark.

Seeing the varied expressions on their faces, Lynn stood up from the bench.

He walked over to the nearby speech platform.

The townsmen, upon seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, collectively fell silent.

Standing atop the Lord’s Square with over six thousand people.

Aside from the intense crackling of burning sounds.

The Lord’s Square was completely silent!

All eyes widened as everyone fixed their gaze on the Lord striding onto the flat platform.

Awaiting the words he was ready to deliver in his speech.

In the middle of the platform.

Lynn’s gaze swept over the crowd of faces.

He opened his mouth, addressing the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Lynn, the Lord of this territory!"

Hearing the Lord speak that name, the facial expressions of the townsmen shifted drastically.

It’s not that the name was particularly special.

On the contrary, the name was quite ordinary.

However, they understood what this young Lord, bearing that name, had brought them!

Whether as Free People of Morgan Town or Free People of Frank Manor.

They had never imagined that after being captured and enslaved by a Lord, they could still have three meals a day, each meal including meat!

Such a life.

Was far better than the strenuous effort they put into securing three meals a day amid various toils!

As long as they could live with enough food and drink, even if it meant becoming Master Lynn’s slave.

What did it matter?

A few minutes later.

After Lynn’s speech, imbued with righteous fervor, was delivered.

The faces of the townsmen showed a flush of excitement.

Their gazes towards Lynn were filled with admiration.

Lynn’s gaze shifted toward Rose standing not far away.

Rose instantly caught on, nodded, and led a team of soldiers into the orderly ranks of townsfolk.

What they needed to do was to select, as much as possible, the relatively robust and strong young or middle-aged men.

Lynn did not leave but continued standing on the platform, focusing on the soldiers’ selection activities.

The number of soldiers in the woodland continued to grow.

Once Rose completes the training of these recently recruited soldiers.
