Chapter 1185: Chapter 323: Killing Bishop Simo (10K)_6

The few remaining patrons in the tavern also left.

...

The next morning.

After having breakfast, Lynn once again returned to the archery training field at the Manor Castle.

With Lynn constantly nocking arrows and drawing the bow.

The arrows sliced through the air, precisely hitting the bullseye on the distant target.

With each arrow hitting the target, a deep sound echoed in the training field.

As Lynn’s speed in nocking and drawing the bow increased.

The deep sound became increasingly rapid.

Thump, thump, thump~

Almost every one or two seconds, a triangular armor-piercing arrow hit the bullseye!

[Hunting Experience +1]

[Hunting Experience +1]

[Hunting Experience +1]

...

Despite the experience growing bit by bit.

Lynn clearly felt that compared to gaining experience during hunting, it was indeed much slower!

To quickly improve the [Hunting] Skill Level, it’s necessary to engage in hunting.

Shooting three to four dozen arrows from the quiver behind him in one go.

Even for Lynn.

His arm felt a strong sensation of soreness and swelling.

The robes he wore were soaked with sweat.

If it were an ordinary archer.

Forget about shooting three to four dozen arrows in one go.

Even emptying twenty arrows in a short time would put them into a state of temporary exhaustion.

If anyone could shoot thirty arrows in one go, they would be considered exceptionally talented!

Therefore.

Lynn was even more determined to produce crossbows on a large scale.

Handing the standard longbow to Red beside him.

Lynn strode towards the outside of the Manor Castle.

Red closely followed behind.

Lynn’s gaze swept over the vast farmland ahead.

Silhouettes of farmers were laboring in the fields.

Some were engaged in cultivation, others in clearing weeds and tree roots, or digging canals...

Perhaps because fall was approaching.

Though a dazzling sun shone in the sky overhead.

It didn’t carry the heat and scorch of summer anymore.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing a sense of comfort.

During such times.

Even conducting high-intensity physical training or agricultural production wouldn’t cause heatstroke from high temperatures.

The 5,600 soldiers needed for the Castle Guardhouse have yet to be selected and recruited.

However.

Lynn was not anxious.

Jon Zuck and his supporting Manor Lord had already been eradicated.

In the short term, Morgan Town and the territory would not face any major crisis!

The Imperial Authority struggle in the Karedi Empire was still in its early stages.

The standoff between Marquis Ducas and Marquis Polk at Spirit Reef Port also continued.

Lynn understood clearly.

Even if Mark Ducas knew at this moment—that Lynn, who had been once marked for assassination by his followers, was still alive.

And had transformed the weed-filled barren lands bestowed by Donovan Ducas into a prosperous territory.

The military strength also kept growing stronger.

During such times.

Mark Ducas could not extricate himself from the Imperial Authority struggle.

To send the Sword and Shield Corps to launch an attack on his territory.

Of course.

This was after Lynn carefully considered and controlled any potential variables before deciding Jon Zuck would launch an attack!

Therefore.

Now that Morgan Town was relatively safe.

Lynn directly instructed Gavin to proceed with the proposed model of cultivation and planting.

As long as there are enough sturdy men, plenty of garrison soldiers could be selected anytime.

Lynn could accept avoiding conflict or personnel casualties and choose to give up one planting.

But he could never accept having to select garrison soldiers.

Resulting in missing the cultivation and planting of the 120,000 mu of land in Morgan Town.

For Lynn, that would be a huge loss!

In this period of extremely low crop yield.

Wasting farming time is wasting land.

Wasting land is harming life!

Among the farmers giving respectful gestures.

Lynn, accompanied by Red and a few guards, arrived at the site where Gavin was leading the farmers in channel excavation.

At the farmers’ reminder, Gavin swiftly noticed Lynn and stepped forward quickly to greet him.

Standing before Lynn, Gavin bent over respectfully and said.

"Master."

Lynn nodded and asked.

"Is there anything you need me to help with concerning land cultivation and planting?"

Gavin’s eyebrows raised, replying swiftly.

"Master, Gavin requires a large number of sharp and solid farm tools."

"There are so many farmers in Morgan Town, and the farm tools collected from other places are rundown, not durable enough..."

"They simply can’t crush and clear some of the stones in the fields."

Lynn’s eyes scanned the farming tools in the hands of the dozen farmers ahead.

As Gavin said, they were all rusted and incomplete farm tools.

Despite sharpening them with some whetstones, it still affected work efficiency.

Lynn responded, "I will swiftly dispatch a batch of farm tools from the territory!"

The six blacksmith furnaces were being dismantled and rebuilt, so forging them at the moment wasn’t possible.

Luckily.

Lynn had previously assigned Ehrelo to specifically reserve a team of blacksmith apprentices to forge farm tools!

The remaining new iron farm tools in the Blacksmith Workshop might not meet the demand for 8,100 pieces in Morgan Town.

But equipping two to three thousand farmers would certainly improve the cultivation and planting efficiency.

Lynn added, "Is there anything else besides farm tools?"

Gavin appeared hesitant, at a loss for words.

"Master... could you allocate some adult plowing oxen and wheel plows for the cultivation in Morgan Town..."

"The land in Morgan Town is quite vast. With the assistance of plowing oxen and wheel plows, the time for cultivation and planting would be significantly shortened!"

"It would also efficiently utilize the fertility of deep soil..."

Seeing Master Lynn silent, Gavin hastened to say.

"Of course, even without plowing oxen and wheel plows."

"Gavin will ensure leading these farmers or garrison soldiers to complete the autumn plowing and planting!"

Noting Gavin’s tense expression, Lynn responded.

"Wait until Rose and the three commanders return with the poultry and livestock from the supporters’ Manors before considering this."

The previously collected poultry and livestock have been entirely transported back to the territory by the soldiers.

It’s naturally difficult to drive and send the plowing oxen from the territory.

Besides wasting time, plowing oxen are easily injured during transportation.

Rather than that.

It’s better to wait for Rose and the three to return with the soldier squad!

With the armed soldiers Rose and the three took out, they could naturally easily bring back all assets from the supporters’ Manors to Morgan Town.

Lynn had never been worried.

Apart from the plowing oxen.

Lynn had prepared wheel plows for these oxen!

This was the most crucial existence for heavy plow cultivation!

Thinking of this.

Lynn’s heart involuntarily felt a touch of helplessness.

Now he possessed such a vast expanse of land!

The 300,000 mu of cultivated land within the territory.

The large weed-covered barren lands outside the Weng City walls, on which lookout towers and Outpost Fortresses were built.

The 120,000 mu of land beneath his feet...

Lynn estimated and calculated.

The current available land for cultivation and planting had nearly reached 500,000 mu!

This hasn’t accounted for the area of forests, lakes, etc.!

Such vast land, without a large scale of plowing oxen and production tools like wheel plows.

Solely relying on manpower for cultivation and planting, efficiency was indeed too low!

He must find a way, under the circumstance of limited plowing oxen, to seek or produce substitutes for cultivating land.

To thus improve the efficiency of land cultivation!
