Chapter 1267: Chapter 337: Sir Is Laughing at Your Foolishness (10K)_4

Feeling the firmness in Master Lynn’s tone, Boer closed his open mouth and answered.

"Understood, Master Lynn."

"I will wait until Boer has transported this batch of fine salt to Kakasong City, and then immediately begin handling the recruitment of Free People for Master Lynn."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

Only several hours later.

The grain Boer had brought was completely unloaded.

After the porters moved the fifty thousand jin of fine salt into the carriage wagons, Boer led his cart convoy away.

Watching the cart convoy gradually recede under the glow of the setting sun.

Lynn was just about to withdraw his gaze.

In the distance.

Rose led a squad of soldiers, marching along the lime road that cut through the vast farmlands.

Their steps were so neat and loud they almost merged into a single roar, rumbling without end.

At the head of the marching column.

Commander Rose, clad in Standard Plate Armor, iron helmet on his head, rode atop his warhorse.

As the warhorse paced forward, the linen cloak behind Rose fluttered lightly in the wind.

Within the fields.

The Farmers working there heard the noise and all looked over curiously.

The Farmers’ eyes were filled with envy and admiration.

They naturally also wished to be like those soldiers, gripping Weapon and Armor, charging into battle to kill the enemy and earn military merit.

Thus gaining an elevation in identity and status!

Once Rose led the soldiers into Lord’s Square.

Rose’s gaze swept around and quickly landed on Lynn seated on the bench.

Without the slightest hesitation, Rose swung down from his horse and strode toward Lynn.

Coming before Lynn, Rose bent at the waist in salute and respectfully called out.

"Master!"

Lynn glanced at the Unarmored soldiers formed in ranks, neatly halted in Lord’s Square, and spoke.

"Once the soldiers finish receiving their Armor, they are to remain in the town for now."

"Tonight, I will recruit another batch of soldiers, and I need you to lead the men in selecting them."

Rose did not hesitate in the slightest and replied.

"Yes, Master!"

Lynn nodded. "Stand down."

Rose lowered his head again, bowed slightly, and withdrew.

Watching Rose lead this troop of soldiers off, marching toward the Handicraft Workshop District, Lynn’s mind began to ponder.

Aside from the five thousand six hundred garrison soldiers under Wesley’s command in the Morgan Town Manor Castle.

And the two hundred soldiers under Earl, stationed in Morgan Town itself and along the forest road leading into Morgan Town.

The rest of the soldiers had already been fully redeployed back to the territory by Lynn.

Right now, within the territory, the combined number of soldiers and Guards totaled five thousand!

Once Rose led this group of Unarmored soldiers to receive and don the Composite Armor woven and assembled by the textile workshop.

There would only be the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guard under Tyrone who still lacked Armor!

However.

Lynn was not in a hurry at the moment.

He would simply wait until Construction of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace in the Blacksmith Workshop was complete.

After smelting low-carbon, high-quality steel.

He would then forge for Tyrone and the Pan Rock Iron Guard an even sturdier yet lighter steel Composite Armor!

Lynn’s thoughts shifted.

Even if the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guard were fully armed and equipped.

Compared with those Great Lords, the number of soldiers Lynn possessed was still far too small.

Lynn had to continue recruiting and selecting more soldiers from within the territory!

As Lynn pondered in his mind, time passed swiftly.

By the time Rose led the soldiers, now fully clad in Composite Armor, marching back to Lord’s Square.

Night had already begun to fall.

Under Lynn’s watchful gaze.

Wilbur had already begun leading group after group of Farmers into Lord’s Square to form up in ranks.

After a short while.

A slightly winded Wilbur came before Lynn, bent in salute, and respectfully said.

"Master, according to your instructions."

"Five thousand Farmers and two thousand Guards and Peasants have all been assembled."

Lynn gave a brief response, then turned his eyes to Rose waiting at his side and spoke.

"Commander Luo Si, I need you to select one thousand men with qualified physical fitness from these seven thousand to be added to the soldier ranks."

"They will still be under your command for discipline and physical training."

Rose bent his body in salute and replied.

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing that Lynn had nothing further to say.

Rose no longer hesitated, striding toward the front of the ranked Farmer formations.

Coming to a halt before the crowd of Farmers, Rose let his gaze sweep over their faces.

Under Rose’s stern stare, the group of Farmers grew nervous and lowered their heads.

Rose took a deep breath of the air and called out to the crowd.

"I am Ross Anderson, the Commander appointed by the Lord."

"The reason you have been assembled is to carry out the Lord’s orders."

"From among you, one thousand men with qualified physical fitness will be chosen to become soldiers under Master Lynn!"

The Farmers, tense only moments before, instantly raised their heads, their eyes filled with surprise and expectation.

Especially after they had seen the scene of Commander Rose leading the troops in marching as they returned to town.

Their longing and desire to become soldiers had already reached a peak.

Lynn still sat on the wooden chair, watching from afar as Rose recruited and selected soldiers...

Lynn realized.

Even without him personally going to mobilize them, without him stirring up the Farmers’ emotions.

After Rose’s brief speech, all of the Farmers were still eager, wishing they could be chosen as soldiers by Rose that very instant.

Not until more than an hour later.
