He couldn't help but speak, "Mr. Boer, the matter of the territory being known to outsiders has little to do with you, so there's no need to blame yourself."

"Then, there's something I need you to help me with."

Boer raised his head, his words full of conviction, "Master Lynn, please feel free to give your orders."

Lynn nodded, "I need you to find Janet Frank; tell her I agreed."

"There's no need to say anything else."

There was some doubt in Boer's eyes.

But since Master Lynn spoke this way, he naturally wouldn't ask anything else.

A little while later.

All the fine salt was loaded onto Boer's carriage.

After bidding farewell to Lynn, Boer took his carriage convoy and, under the cover of night, set out with torches held high, leaving the town.

Not only was he going to complete the task assigned by Master Lynn.

He also had to return to Morgan Town, to transport all the barley from the trading house warehouse to Master Lynn's territory.

Watching the torches of Boer's convoy disappear into the darkness.

Lynn withdrew his gaze and headed towards the castle.

His mind was still contemplating the next moves regarding Morgan Town.

Grayson's frequency of transporting slaves to his territory seemed to be getting slower.

Previously, he could deliver a batch of slaves in about a month or so.

Though the numbers weren't many, it still contributed to the labor force of his territory.

Now, the number of slaves delivered each batch has increased.

But correspondingly, the cycle has become longer.

Lynn speculated.

Perhaps it was related to the situation of the Portlands Empire.

Regardless of whether it's to complete the [task] or to obtain more slaves,

Morgan Town, he was determined to win!

Previously, it was because the number of armed soldiers in the territory was too few, lacking the armor and weapons needed by the soldiers.

Additionally, the spring plowing and planting for the development of the territory.

And a lack of understanding of the power of the armed forces owned by the Manor Lord in Morgan Town.

But now many of these problems are being solved.

The spring plowing and planting are completed, and have started to grow vigorously.

The armed forces of the Manor Lord in Morgan Town only have five hundred heavy cavalry and over a thousand leather armor or unarmored guard soldiers at Frank Manor.

Other manors also have some cavalry, but their overall strength is still not comparable to Frank Manor.

In his territory, he currently possesses nearly three hundred Badan Warhorse heavy cavalry, a thousand heavy troops and composite armor infantry, five hundred archers, and two hundred guards.

The strength possessed is far above Frank Manor!

Despite this.

Lynn needs to prepare for potential threats.

Without absolute confidence, he would never deploy his soldiers outside the territory!

As long as he has these two thousand armed soldiers, guarding his territory,

he can continue to grow steadily!

Even if the pace of development is slow, relying on Grayson's transport of slaves to his territory.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Lynn returned to the castle.

In the guest hall.

Kuisi had already led a few maids by the dining table, arranging dinner for today.

Seeing Lynn, Kuisi hurriedly reminded, "Master, dinner is ready, you can eat now."

Lynn responded and came to the dining table.

Under the candlelight from the candelabra, the food on the table entered his view.

Pepper roast lamb, herb-fried bass, pork pea soup, wheat bread, and some vegetables...

Looking at these dishes, Lynn's brows slightly lifted.

After a day of chopping wood, he indeed felt somewhat hungry.

With Kuisi's service, Lynn began to enjoy the dinner.

After ten minutes.

A well-fed Lynn comfortably sat on the Lord's throne.

As he relaxed, his mind began to once again muse over future plans for the territory's development.

At this moment.

The sound of footsteps arose from a distance.

Lynn looked up.

Only to see Clive stepping across the guest hall, standing firmly on the stair platform before him.

Lynn remained seated on the Lord's throne, staring at Clive.

"Scholar Clive, so late, is there something you need?"

Feeling Lynn's gaze along with the accompanying pressure, Clive bowed slightly.

"Lord, I've been frequently visiting the Blacksmith Workshop, and have had in-depth discussions with Foreman Erelo and Master Flint."

"After this period of pondering, I've drawn up designs for the full-body armor for the soldiers and the vest for the warhorses."

As he spoke.

Clive took out a roll of drawings but didn't move forward, standing still, offering them to Lynn.

Waiting for Lynn's guard to step forward and receive the delivery.

Lynn glanced at Red, who instantly grasped his intent, took steps downwards.

He took the drawings from Clive's hand and returned to Lynn's side.

And handed the drawings to Lynn.

Lynn reached out to take them, spread them out, and began to scrutinize.

After glancing at them, Lynn's eyes brightened slightly.

On the first page of the drawing.

A burly cavalry figure, donned in padded armor, holding an alien-shaped spear.

The tall warhorse it rides is similarly clad in padded armor composed of armor plates!

Apart from the cavalry's hands and eyes, the warhorse's galloping four legs, and a small portion exposed.

Other areas were wrapped in metal under padded armor!

Lynn instantly recognized.

This depicted rider and horse, from a distance, looked like a moving mini iron tower.

Isn't this just an 'Iron Butcher'?

However.

Lynn carefully checked and found some differences.

Yet its function didn't vary much!

Seeing Lynn reviewing the drawings, Clive started explaining below.

"Lord, I heard from Foreman Erelo that you want to create a vest that can protect the warhorses."

"Therefore, I've combined the current forging process of armor plates and the weaving procedures at the Blacksmith Workshop and Textile Workshop."

"I've designed the overall padded armor and vest."

Lynn nodded and continued reviewing.

Clive continued, "However, Lord, these are still preliminary design drawings."

"To actually produce them, the cooperation between the Blacksmith Workshop and Textile Workshop is needed to achieve it."

Clive's drawings were very detailed, evoking the essence he once captured in designing siege equipment for Colin.

However, this precisely illustrated.

That after the previous experience, Clive invested considerable effort to design the armor drawings.

Lynn praised, "The armor and vest designed in the drawings are excellent."

"I'll hand these drawings to Erelo, allowing him to select a team of blacksmith apprentices to begin experimental forging and production."

"Certainly, you can also participate in guiding their forging."

"If a full set of padded armor and vest can be successfully crafted, and mass-produced."

"Then surely, a legion of elite armored cavalry that terrifies the enemy will be formed!"
