Chapter 181: Last Chance (10,000 Words) (Part 5)
Then, Lynn firmly seized their last chance by the throat!
Red quickly responded, "Yes, Sir!"
Immediately, Red turned and took a few steps back, found several guards, and began to convey Lynn's orders.
A moment later.
Several guards briskly walked down the hall, headed to the stables, and mounted their horses.
With urgency, they headed out of the castle.
Neither the workshop foreman nor the soldier instructors responsible for training had moved into the castle yet.
To issue orders, they had to go to the red brick residential area in the town.
While waiting.
Lynn opened the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel and began checking each function on the interface.
Red returned silently, standing behind Lynn without a word.
Whatever Master Lynn said, he would do just that.
However, he slightly adjusted his stance, moving into the range of warmth from the fireplace.
Lynn opened the [Milestone] and collected the rewards for several completed achievements.
The number of Energy Stones had once again reached one thousand.
Without any hesitation, Lynn allocated them to Constitution.
As his mind moved, a text panel appeared before his eyes.
"Do you wish to consume 1000 Energy Stones to upgrade Constitution D to D+?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lynn replied, "Yes!"
Instantly.
A warm sensation, like that of a furnace, appeared in Lynn's abdomen, quickly enhancing and strengthening his body.
The benefits of improving [Constitution] allowed Lynn to feel noticeably less fatigued after labor.
Even after chopping wood for several hours straight, Lynn felt refreshed, with plenty of physical strength to spare.
Compared to when he first used the Flint Axe for chopping, it was like having an entirely different body!
Lynn opened the [Resource Management] panel again.
Despite the current total population of the territory reaching 6600 people, with daily consumption ongoing.
Under the continuous transport by merchants like Grayson, Boer, and Alan, the food supply maintained a stable stockpile.
Lynn looked towards the bottom of the panel.
The output of the two newly established Salt Factories had finally increased, with a daily production reaching three thousand pounds.
As long as there was no large-scale exchange for valuable items, such as spices, warhorses, or silk...
The three thousand pounds of production was more than sufficient to exchange for the merchandise transported by the merchants.
Lynn then looked at the stockpile of armor and weapons.
Five hundred suits of full-body Standard Plate Armor, nearly a thousand five-meter-long Winged Spears, over three hundred Combat Long Spears, along with some Curved Sabers and Round Shields.
The stock of Longbows was also over five hundred, with six to seven thousand Triangular Armor-Piercing Arrows.
All of this was entirely sufficient to support the current two hundred archers' consumption and usage.
Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
These armors and weapons were painstakingly crafted bit by bit by Ehrelo's Blacksmith Workshop.
Lynn opened [Task] again, where the task to eliminate the Iron Blood Brotherhood had been hanging there all along.
He couldn't help but smile; this task had existed for at least several months now...
Closing the [Task] panel, Lynn checked the [Special Building Library], [Crop Variety Improvement], [Special Seed Store], [Animal Breeding System], and so on.
Without sufficient Energy Stones, he couldn't exchange for any items.
Only the [Prosperity Value and Miracle] panel remained!
Lynn discovered that the town's Prosperity Value had already exceeded five hundred.
[Current Prosperity Value]: 510
[Lord Statue]: Enhances the lord's authority, keeps townsmen in awe, reduces conflicts within the territory (available for collection).
Without any hesitation, Lynn collected it directly.
Looking at the attribute description of the [Lord Statue], Lynn contemplated that once the construction of the territory's railcars was completed, he could also start drafting Territorial Law and establish a Territory Court...
As Lynn was examining each function panel, the guards on horseback found Wesley and conveyed Lynn's orders.
Over half an hour later.
Apart from the guards defending the castle, the remaining guards had gathered.
The two hundred archers trained by Wesley were also assembled.
The guards held Round Shields in their left hands and Combat Long Spears in their right.
The archers carried bows on one shoulder and quivers on the other...
In Wesley's formation, over three hundred people marched with orderly steps, holding torches, running into the darkness outside the town.
Despite the abrupt drop in temperature and the cold night wind slicing across their cheeks like a blade.
They showed no sign of retreat.
Because they knew.
If they didn't hold that wall, it would be their families who faced death!
...
Time swiftly passed by.
As Lynn carefully studied the [Resident Information Column], searching for hidden talents within.
The sound of a galloping horse echoed from outside the castle.
The castle gates were opened by the guards, allowing the cavalry to enter unhindered.
A short while later.
The sound of running footsteps emanated from the ground floor of the castle, quickly reaching the second floor.
Lynn's gaze shifted over.
As expected, the information delivered by the guard was designed to lure him away from the territory!
A brawny guard strode towards Lynn, stopping five meters in front of him.
The guard bent over, slightly panting, "Sir, urgent report!"
Lynn glanced at him, "Report."
The guard explained, "Sir, a young man claiming to be a guard from Boer's caravan came to the wall, saying Boer's caravan was attacked and Boer was captured by bandits."
