CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 185: THE BED IS BIG AND SOFT (10,000 WORDS)

"All these will require your Woodworker Workshop to undertake the production later."

"Since the design needs to be more detailed, I’ll come to you separately later."

Colin responded, "Yes, Master."

After instructing Colin, Lynn’s gaze turned to Wesley, "Instructor Wesley."

Wesley’s body instantly stood up straight, standing perfectly still, "I am here, Master!"

Lynn looked at Wesley and said, "Sit down."

"In this city defense battle, you were responsible for leading and commanding the archers. Since Rose isn’t here, why don’t you share your feelings on the matter?"

Wesley sat down in the high-backed wooden chair, without any hesitation, he spoke directly: "My feelings are quite similar to what you said, Master."

"The defense tactics were single-minded, the soldiers lacked experience in city defense, and their physical condition was poor, unable to sustain long-term combat."

The words were simple and clear, as if he had conducted a comprehensive review of the battle beforehand.

Lynn stared directly at Wesley, continuing to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Wesley continued, "There is a lack of information and effective intelligence. The major factor in defeating the invading enemy this time relied heavily on the city walls."

"If it were in the open wilderness outside the walls, the soldiers’ casualties wouldn’t have been just a few dozen!"

Lynn acknowledged, "Then how should we resolve this?"

Wesley spoke firmly, "As for city defense, I think the Master’s ideas are very effective."

"The Weng City can organize a second defense after the enemy breaks through the first gate."

"Defense equipment is essential too."

"The lack of information can be addressed by sending scouts to the nearest towns to gather various intelligence and take preventive measures!"

"In some mountainous paths, we can station some hidden sentries, patrols, watchtowers, beacon towers, and even outpost fortresses!"

"The beacon towers can serve as a warning; even if the enemy is dozens or hundreds of miles away, they can be clearly seen from the city walls."

"Outpost fortresses... if the enemy wants to advance deep, they must first deal with the outpost fortresses."

"The Master can organize more armed forces to fortify the walls or summon reinforcements..."

Lynn looked at Wesley appreciatively, "These are indeed effective defense methods."

"However, given the current weather and the pace of territorial development, these plans can only be postponed for now."

"When the time comes to build watchtowers or outpost fortresses, we will need you, Wesley, to conduct an on-site survey and select locations."

Wesley nodded quickly, a hint of joy in his words, "Yes, Master."

As a household attendant with combat knowledge and experience, Wesley naturally hoped to be valued by the lord he was loyal to!

Although Lynn did not implement it immediately, considering the current situation, with extremely low temperatures, limited workforce, and difficulties in material transportation...

Postponing the plans was reasonable.

The key was that his master had accepted his suggestions and explicitly stated that he would need him for the survey and location selection later!

This was a great sign of trust in him!

Lynn turned, looking at the couple Beola of the Pottery Workshop.

"The glazed glass you produced, I have already taken out a portion as samples to give to Grayson, for him to take these samples to the markets of territories outside."

"If these are sought after by the external lord nobility, perhaps more merchants will come to the territory to exchange for glazed glass."

Beo and Layla’s eyebrows rose, and their faces revealed a look of surprise.

Lynn continued, "At that time, everyone in your workshop will become busy, and the glazed glass you produce will help generate revenue for the territory!"

"Later, I will think of ways to increase the workforce for your workshop."

Beo and Layla responded quickly, "Thank you, Master Lynn."

Lynn nodded, then looked at the group of squad leaders, instructed them for a while, and then said,

"By the way, the castle construction is now complete."

"Starting tomorrow, you can bring your families and move into the castle area."

The castle area, covering more than 3,000 square meters, with three layers, can comfortably house a population of at least two or three hundred people!

Moreover, only by having them bring their families to live in the castle can Lynn arrange personnel better to take care of them.

Listening to Lynn’s words, the people on both sides of the dining table showed a bit of surprise.

Like Red, they never imagined that one day they would live in a castle...

The Ehrelo group stood one after another, bowing to Lynn, with respectful words ringing out.

"Thank you, Master."

Lynn nodded, dismissing them, the maids cleaned up, and the wide hall once again fell into silence.

Unlike the darkness and cold outside the castle, anthracite burning strongly in the castle fireplaces, and oil lamps along the wall edges emitted bright light, illuminating the entire hall.

Lynn sat in an armchair, enjoying the comforting warmth.

This was both a banquet and a pre-planned layout for the future development of the territory.

He was telling these workshop foremen and the officers responsible for guarding the territory what the territory would do next, allowing them to have an advanced plan in mind!

The night gradually deepened.

The temperature outside the castle dropped further, reaching negative four or five degrees directly.

After giving some instructions, Lynn returned to the master bedroom, lay down on the spacious bed, and gradually fell asleep.

...

Under the night sky.

A caravan of carriages sped along the muddy road between fields.
