As many villagers watched, Lynn rode away from the Salt Factory on horseback.
Red, along with several guards, was always following behind.
Passing through the lime road on the wasteland and entering the forest, Lynn arrived at the city wall.
The chaotic ground was cleaned up meticulously, with a lime surface laid down.
The logs used to build the pulley assembly were disassembled and piled up in the corner.
Clean and tidy, that was Lynn’s first impression.
Along with the ten-meter-high city wall, it gave a mysterious sense of solemnity.
The city gate below the wall was already being completed!
Lynn jumped down from the horse and walked toward the city gate.
The main framework of the gate was predominantly wooden, and he could tell at a glance that Colin used sturdy oak.
On the surface of the city wall, a riveting method was used to completely cover the iron plates on the gate.
The thickness of the iron plate should be around five millimeters, which can entirely resist some battering rams or siege engines.
Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
With this city gate that was like ’Iron Armor’, his last worry was entirely solved.
With such sturdy city walls and such a gate.
Unless there was a completely overwhelming number of soldiers or the arrival of extraordinary power.
No one will be able to enter his territory!
A steady sound of footsteps came from afar, drawing closer.
Lynn turned his head and looked, seeing Rose walking over with strides.
Rose came to Lynn, bent his body, and spoke respectfully, "Master."
Lynn nodded, "Have the patrolling soldiers on the city wall been arranged?"
Rose did not hesitate, "According to your requirements, Master, the soldiers are divided into three batches, twenty people per batch, conducting round-the-clock patrols."
He continued, "Master, I want to station two hundred soldiers behind the mountain forest of the city wall. Do you think it’s feasible?"
The gaps between the forest are about a hundred meters wide, with some places or widths of over ten meters, some places less than ten meters.
It is entirely possible to build tents or construct red brick houses on it!
Lynn did not answer, and said, "Tell me your thoughts."
Rose said, "Firstly, within the territory, there is a guard team led by Red, which can entirely protect your safety and oversee the villagers’ work."
"Secondly, the mountain forest pass is the only way to enter the territory. Despite having city walls, there is still a need for soldiers to guard."
"If an enemy attack happens, soldiers can organize at the first instance and conduct defense guard."
"Lastly... soldiers’ life itself should be harsh; eating and living in the military camp, returning home every day after training, what kind of soldiery life is that?"
Seeing Rose with a serious face, Lynn nodded, "Okay."
"I will arrange specialized chefs to cook for you all, and daily necessities will also be sent over."
Hearing Lynn’s positive words, Rose felt a surge of shock.
Lynn... his master actually agreed to his request?
He took the soldiers here, trained them individually, ate and lived together with them, can almost be said to disconnect from the village!
Again guarding the city and controlling the pass, is like gripping the throat of the entire territory!
If he had thoughts of rebellion, leading these soldiers to revolt, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nevertheless, despite that.
Lynn agreed to him almost without any second thought!
Is Master Lynn simple-minded?
Learning from Red, this territory was entirely developed bit by bit thanks to Lynn.
Rose understood that the reason was due to his master’s trust in him.
If not, he couldn’t think of any other reason.
Rose took a deep breath, then directly knelt on one knee in front of Lynn.
He spoke sincerely, "Master, if the enemy wants to enter your territory, they can only step over my corpse!"
"Furthermore, my brother Charles will always remain in the village."
Lynn responded, "Alright, stand up."
But Lynn told Rose that when the red bricks in the village are finished being fired, they would assist in constructing red brick houses for them.
Rose’s eyes widened instantly.
Returning to the village, Lynn called Kuisi.
He asked her to arrange a specialized chef and transport daily supplies to the city wall.
Lynn toured once around the progress of firing the red bricks again.
The dug-out clay was already being sieved and dried.
Once the clay is dried to a certain level of moisture, mixing in some sandy soil, then using the prepared molds, they could start producing red bricks.
On the other side, the kiln construction was fully under Colin’s control, so Lynn did not need to worry.
Rolling up his sleeves, Lynn returned to the Blacksmith Shop again.
The clear and melodious yet rhythmic sounds rang one after another in the Blacksmith Shop.
Together with other apprentices forging iron spears and round shields, as if forming a beautiful melody.
Lynn, satisfied, came out from the blacksmith iron.
With a single thought, he opened the system panel.

[Forging: Level 1 (139/200)] (+)
[Medicine: Level 1 (13/200)] (+)
[Breeding: Level 1 (31/200)] (+)
After spending this period of time in the Blacksmith Shop, his [Forging] skill experience had reached one hundred thirty-nine.
At most, it would only be another two to three days to level up to Level 2.
Opening [Milestone], Lynn claimed all the rewards of the completed achievements.
The Energy Stone he possessed had already reached 3230!
Looking at his attribute panel, Lynn moved his mind.
"Would you like to consume 1000 Energy Stones to enhance Attack F+ to E-?"
Energy Stones can enhance an attribute by a small level.
Without any hesitation, Lynn used up all the Energy Stones. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
His attribute panel changed.
Attack F+ turned to E+!
Lynn felt a slight sensation in his body, can clearly sense the increase in power!
Compared to raising those Life Skills Levels, enhancing his attributes was genuinely valuable.
Lynn felt that with enough Energy Stones, relying on his own attribute abilities, he could exist beyond the ordinary!
Putting away the panel, Lynn walked to the village’s open space.
The kitchen’s chef was already distributing the prepared food.
After finishing dinner.
Lynn sat on the bench in front of the wooden house door.
Under his gaze, Mara led Sienna over.
Red’s watchful eyes fell on the two of them.
Finally, Mara and Sienna stood a few meters in front of Lynn.
Lynn asked, "What’s the matter?"
Mara spoke respectfully, "Honorable Master Lynn, Sienna has something she wants to tell you immediately."
"I kept asking her but she said she could only tell you in person..."
Lynn turned his gaze to Sienna.
Sienna, full of innocence, softly said, "Master Lynn... I heard from the cuckoos that a team of cavalry is nearing to attack your territory!"
"At most by dawn, they will arrive..."
Hearing Sienna’s words, both Mara and Red were taken aback.
"Cavalry coming to attack?"
