If it were someone else, Lynn might question it slightly.
But the person saying this is—Sienna!
She possesses the extraordinary ability of hearing all things.
Lynn stared at Sienna and asked, "Did you hear the cuckoo say, how many cavalry?"
Sienna shook her head, "They raised torches, forming a long line."
"My cuckoo friend is afraid of the firelight..."
Lynn nodded, "Your report is timely, go back and rest now."
Under Lynn’s gaze, Mara wanted to lead Sienna back.
While walking, Sienna turned her head to look at Lynn and softly said, "Master Lynn, be careful."
Lynn smiled slightly.
Until Mara and Sienna disappeared around the corner of the wooden cabin.
Lynn turned to look at Red.
Almost without any instruction, Red turned and left.
Until a few minutes later.
Fifty guard team members, holding torches in their left hands and riding draft horses, gathered.
In Red’s hand, he also led two horses.
Lynn mounted the horse, grabbed the reins with both hands, and with a squeeze of his legs against the horse’s belly, the horse galloped towards the darkness outside the village.
The group, led by Red, quickly followed.
The burning torches and the sound of galloping hooves naturally drew the attention of the villagers.
Soft murmurs arose one after another.
"What’s going on? Master Lynn left with the guards?"
"At this late hour? They still want to go out?"
"Could it be... something’s happened?" This update ıs available on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Even the tall city walls were constructed by Master Lynn, what could happen?"
"Surely no monster could fly in, right?"
Initially intending to maintain order with Gavin Wilbur and a few sturdy men, Kuisi.
Listening to the villagers’ talks, her expression froze slightly.
Only now did she realize that Master Lynn had already provided these villagers with a sense of security.
Kuisi still stepped to the forefront of the villagers.
Looking at those unfamiliar yet familiar faces, Kuisi became inexplicably nervous.
She was appointed by Master Lynn.
Responsible for managing the entire village when Master Lynn was not present.
But that was only dealing with a small portion of the villagers.
Now standing in front of her, there were nearly a thousand villagers!
She had never experienced this.
Kuisi’s mind flashed back to Lynn’s image...
Calm demeanor, clear and precise speech...
She took a deep breath and shouted to everyone in a solemn voice.
"Everyone! I am Kuisi, appointed by Master Lynn as the territory steward."
"What I’m about to say concerns the safety of the entire territory, concerns your lives!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers were about to become tumultuous.
Kuisi’s voice grew louder, overpowering the unrest, drawing their attention back.
"For the safety of the territory, for our safety, Master Lynn has already led the guard team to the city walls."
"But... we cannot just sit and wait for death."
"Though we can’t fight for Master Lynn like soldiers, we can become Master Lynn’s strong support!!"
"Now please return to your homes and take out your tools!"
Listening to Kuisi’s words, the crowd’s expressions shook, responding one by one.
"Become Lynn’s strong support!"
"Become Lynn’s strong support..."
Watching them spread from the village, returning to their homes.
Kuisi’s eyes uncontrollably trembled.
Just now, for a moment, she was overwhelmed by the momentum of these villagers!
Fortunately, she continued to reverse the pressure back.
Only then did Kuisi realize the difficulties faced by Master Lynn.
To rein in and buy thousands of villagers, let them comply with management, and move in the desired direction was so challenging!
Yet, Master Lynn resolutely shouldered it.
Lynn led Red and fifty guards, riding horses, running swiftly.
These horses were just ordinary horses, not fast.
Even twenty guards were riding draft horses!
Nonetheless, the speed of the draft horses far exceeded human running speed.
This ride galloped over the lime ground, through the black night, across wasteland, through woodland, headed for the city walls.
As they approached several dozen meters from the city wall, Lynn saw a few torch lights flickering ahead.
It was Rose, with a team of soldiers patrolling.
Seeing so many guards and torches, Rose’s face showed some confusion.
He bent down and addressed Lynn, "Master, what are you..."
Lynn dismounted and strode towards the city wall, "Enemy attack!"
Rose’s confusion instantly turned into seriousness.
Without any hesitation, he called to one of the soldiers beside him, "Kasen, wake everyone up, quickly!"
The young soldier called Kasen scattered with the soldiers behind him.
Rose followed silently.
Entering the tower, climbing the steps, Lynn reached the ten-meter-high city wall.
Soldiers stationed on the wall saw Lynn, immediately bowed, and returned to their watchful state.
After walking dozens of meters, Lynn stood still, gazing into the distant darkness.
The area he looked over revealed no light.
The cool night breeze blew, tugging at Lynn’s hair and the others’.
More than a hundred soldiers were already fully assembled.
They held round shields in their left hands, combat iron spears in their right, neatly ordered in phalanx formation.
