System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 195: A Slaughter That Darkens the Sky and Earth (10000 Words) (Part 3)


Accompanying this was a hoarse sound forcibly suppressed from the throat.

Pain, seemingly entwined with joy!

...

At the break of dawn.

Lynn awoke early.

At this moment, he stood before the glazed window of the reception hall, his gaze penetrating the floor-to-ceiling glass, looking outside.

Snow!

Heavy snow fell in swirling flurries, enveloping the entire territory as if caught in a white vortex.

Under the sky, snowflakes as large as goose feathers fell one after another.

On the Red Brick House, the workshop, the road, even the cultivated farmland...

All were covered in a blanket of white!

Even Lynn's heart was filled with a little joy.

As a Southerner, he had almost never seen snow!

Coming to the Karedi Empire fulfilled his childhood wish.

At this time.

Kuisi's voice rang out from the back, "Master, breakfast is ready."

Lynn acknowledged and walked to the dining table behind him.

On the dining table, there were plates of food: egg custard, pea and pork soup, wheat bread, oatmeal, and a large dish of roast lamb.

Lynn showed no restraint, picked up a fork, and began eating.

As Lynn ate, Kuisi, sitting beside him, spoke with a tone of relief.

"It's fortunate that you knew the weather, Master, because all the farmland was covered yesterday."

"Otherwise, the overnight goose feather snow would have frozen the young wheat to death."

Lynn swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Are the townsmen clearing the snow?"

Kuisi nodded, "Yes, Master."

"All the townsmen who helped with the covering are still staying in the town, they haven't returned to their work positions yet."

"After having breakfast in the canteen, they will go to the farmland to clear the snow!"

Lynn nodded knowingly, "You two should also have breakfast together."

Kuisi and Red exchanged a glance, then without any unnecessary words, sat on Lynn's left and right and began eating.

After finishing breakfast.

At Kuisi's insistence, Lynn donned a thick wool hooded cloak and walked out of the castle.

Walking on the cleared road.

The constant 'rustle' of falling goose feather snow continually sounded around.

Goose feather snowflakes repeatedly fell on Lynn's cloak...

Seeing the pristine snow beside the Red Brick Road, Lynn raised an eyebrow and crouched down beside it.

With his hands crossed and placed on the snow, a chilly sensation immediately attacked Lynn's palms.

Gathering the snowflakes in his hands and exerting a little force, a snowball the size of a bun appeared in Lynn's hands.

Then, with a flick of his hand, Lynn hurled the snowball at Red, who was following behind.

Red was stunned by Lynn's actions, temporarily at a loss for words.

Lynn glanced at Red, feeling leisure and comfort in his heart.

So this is what snow feels like!

Dusting the snow from his hands, Lynn continued his stride towards the town.

The snow on the Red Brick Road in the town's streets was also cleaned thoroughly.

Red appeared to sense Lynn's confusion, and he spoke first, "Master, the townsmen got up early and together managed to clear the snow cleanly."

Lynn nodded, "Very well done."

Even though it was still snowing, without clearing, it would only accumulate higher and higher.

It could even impede normal passage.

Without his orders, the townsmen voluntarily cleaned the snow, evidently viewing the town as their means of survival.

They would subconsciously protect this town.

Only by instilling a sense of belonging, by making them aware this is their home, will they toil with all their might.

When faced with a life-and-death crisis, only then will they resist without fear of death.

Despite the heavy snow, the townsmen responsible for various labors in the town never halted their work.

The chefs and assistants in charge of Cooking in the canteen had already begun preparing lunch.

On the open-space square at the town's front, Jode continued teaching apprentices to carve the Lord Statue.

As the carving progressed, the statue of the Lord became increasingly clear.

Lynn could already discern his facial features on the statue.

Underneath, he rode the top-tier Warhorse—Mo Ying.

Galloping forth, donned in a set of Armor, with his Cloak fluttering in the wind behind him!

Even though it hadn't been sculpted to meticulous detail yet, one could still feel its majestic air.

After a few glances, Lynn arrived at the edge of the square.

Looking far into the distance.

Across a white plain, four thousand townsmen wielded various brooms, cleaning snow within the furrows of the farmland.

The overlaying weeds could only be expected to separate the snow, serving to preserve warmth and moisture.

However, if the snow atop the weeds wasn't cleared, it would only accumulate higher, getting heavier with weight.

With a slight increase in temperature, the snow would fuse and turn into snowmelt; if another round of cooling followed.

Then all the wheat sprouts would be frozen to death.

Clearing snow is extremely necessary as a remedial labor for planting winter crops.

After watching for a while, Lynn joined the snow-clearing team.

...

Until the afternoon.

Only then did Lynn emerge from the farmland.

With a thought, he opened the [Weather Forecast] panel.

Snowfall reached its peak today.

Starting from dusk, the snow would gradually lessen, followed by the thawing period.
