In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

As the townsmen cultivated and planted for most of the day, Lynn stepped out of the farmland.

A gentle breeze blew over the still-uncultivated wasteland, causing the dry, yellow grass with specks of green to sway up and down.

The scent of soil and grass wafted into Lynn's nose.

It brought a sense of unexplainable comfort, and the sweat beading on his body was dried by the wind.

The efficiency of the townsmen kept improving, and by the time nearly ten thousand acres were cultivated and planted, it was already mid-March.

But, apart from the daily consumption of food for half a month within the territory, the barley seeds soaked in saltwater were about to run out.

There were at most two or three days left, and if merchants did not deliver large quantities of food, the cultivation efforts of five thousand townsmen would have to come to a halt!

Although Lynn was reluctant, there was nothing to do but wait in silence.

Until the territory produced its first batch of barley, and until there were enough seeds for planting.

He could only rely on traveling merchants to continuously send food to make up for the shortage.

During these few days.

He not only had Gavin lead a small group of townsmen to plant cotton seeds.

But also planted all the ten thousand pounds of vegetable seeds delivered by Boer.

It was spring, and the daytime temperature had notably risen, reaching fifteen to sixteen degrees.

This weather and temperature were ideal for planting and growing various crops.

He let Gavin and Wilbur manage the townsmen who were cultivating and planting.

Lynn, accompanied by Red, walked back to the town.

From a distance, he saw Kuisi with dozens of townsmen, using windmills to sift barley seeds.

Lynn did not disturb them and, after a few glances, walked past the Lord's Square towards the riverside dock.

In these three days, he spent the mornings on the wasteland, cultivating and planting with the townsmen.

In the afternoons, he went to the riverside dock to fish.

Besides obtaining a book on Mastery of Throwing Weapons, he almost amassed two thousand energy stones.

After some deliberation, Lynn decided to keep these energy stones for now.

Unless a war breaks out, with his current strength and ability, on a territory full of guards, he could ensure his self-defense.

He could use these energy stones for exchange when needed!

Such as for the "Emperor Potato."

Amid Lynn's daily tedious workload and gaining experience, fishing by the riverside was his most relaxing and pleasant time.

He could calm his mind and think about how his territory should deal with the changing situations outside.

So far.

The enemies or crises he faced primarily included a few points.

First, the closest was the manor lords of Morgan Town, led by Jonas.

He had not yet directly interacted with Jonas.

He did not know Jonas's character and disposition.

However, Lynn understood that a person's desire and ambition are limitless.

Especially a lord who holds vast lands and a large armed force!

Maintaining so many guard soldiers could not just be to protect the territory, and certainly not just for display.

With a blade in hand, the urge to kill is easy, power is boundless, and expansion is inevitable!

This is an eternal truth.

Even though he currently shared no conflicts of interest with Jonas and other manor lords, it was only temporary.

As he continued to develop, and as the townsmen in his territory grew larger, making more armed soldiers.

Even just passing through Morgan Town could make the manor lords feel threatened, feeling their rights were infringed upon and their lives in jeopardy.

Therefore, no one would allow another power to grow rapidly and robustly on land they've controlled for years.

Unless one side chose to compromise and submit, a war between him and the manor lords of Morgan Town was bound to happen.

Secondly!

Viscount Chambers of Wind Hill.

Due to limited dispatched spies, he was temporarily unable to gather any intelligence from Wind Hill.

If Aiden revealed information about his territory to Viscount Chambers and Chambers learned about the three mines on his land,

there is a significant possibility that Viscount Chambers might lead his city forces to attack and seize.

Even possessing a small city and collecting taxes daily for wealth couldn't compare to having three open-pit mines!

He needed to have Rose expand the team of outbound spies.

Send them to more cities and become close with more lords to explore and collect more intelligence.

To take preventive measures before it happens!

Next.

Marquis Duca of Bordeaux City!

Lawrence led over three thousand soldiers from the Sword and Shield Corps to Morgan Town, indeed causing him to feel immense crisis.

If more than three thousand armed soldiers attacked the city walls with full force, even if he could temporarily fend them off, he would suffer heavy losses!

This would directly bankrupt his previously conceived development plan.

Even he himself might face a life-threatening situation.

Fortunately.

He had preemptively wiped out the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps and the Storm Mercenary Corps.

This led Lawrence's army, arriving to suppress the bandits, to find nothing.

Although he did not understand why Lawrence's army headed towards Wind Hill.

It indicated.

Mark Ducas did not know that Lynn Blake, who was killed by his followers, was still alive and well.
