System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 716 - 245: I’ll Kill You All (10,000 Words) (5)
Despite being women.
As the manor lord, Janet’s presence is far beyond their ability to confront directly.
With the assistance of two maids, Janet stepped forward onto the three-step wooden ladder before the bathtub.
Then she slowly moved her right leg forward and stepped in.
The infinite allure between her legs was fleeting, as it was immediately covered by the warm water, shrouded in a layer of gentle steam.
Janet leaned back slightly after stepping into the bathtub, eventually lying within.
Only her exquisite, fair face remained exposed above the hot water.
Even with the concealment of hot water and steam, two smooth white orbs floating in the water could still be seen.
Feeling the warmth and comfort brought by the hot water and smelling the faint fragrance of petals in the steam.
Janet comfortably closed her eyes, savoring the moment.
No matter how hard she tried.
She could not erase the image of the young lord clad in black armor and cloak from her mind.
Janet opened her eyes and gazed straight at the ceiling.
This young lord was none other than Lynn!
If she had not witnessed the military strength of Lynn’s territory.
Janet was very certain.
The Frank Manor was the overlord of Morgan Town!
Faced with the siege by several major estates.
With five hundred chain armor cavalry and fifteen hundred soldiers at Frank Manor’s disposal.
They could dominate Morgan Town!
Until she saw the heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, archers, and light infantry brought by Lynn...
Janet finally realized that Lynn’s military strength far surpassed that of Frank Manor!
Even if Lynn wished to, during the joint attack by the soldiers of the three great estates on Frank Manor.
He could easily play a game of mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
And effortlessly obliterate Frank Manor.
Though Janet didn’t understand why Lynn hadn’t done so.
It still left her feeling a sense of crisis!
The military strength of Frank Manor had to be enhanced quickly!
This time.
Lynn only demanded all assets from the three major estates, excluding arable land, and half of Morgan Town’s annual taxes.
Next time.
He might very well take all of Morgan Town!
Including her Frank Manor!
To enhance Frank Manor’s military strength requires expanding the number of soldiers, purchasing a large number of weapons, horses, and food.
Recruiting mercenaries is relatively easy.
As long as sufficient wages are provided to the free people who come to enlist.
They are willing to lay down their farm tools, pick up weapons, and join the training.
Even if there aren’t many free people enlisting in Morgan Town, she could send Joao to Kakasong City for recruitment.
What troubles her is obtaining the weapons and armor, and horses needed to arm the soldiers!
Until Joao reported back to her once again, she learned.
The soldiers led by Lynn had already swept the battlefield once!
A vast amount of weapons and horses had been taken by him!
To obtain more weapons.
Depending on the manor and blacksmiths in Morgan Town for forging production was certainly too late.
In the short term, she cannot find a large amount of high-quality iron, nor can she rely on a few blacksmiths to forge and produce a large number of weapons and armor.
The only option is to spend heavily on purchasing.
Trade with weapon merchants in Kakasong City, or purchase from markets and fairs.
Soon.
Images of ships transporting iron ore from Lynn’s territory, carts carrying fine salt, and mine carts hauling coal appeared in Janet’s mind.
Her eyes burst with intense greed and desire.
If she could conquer Lynn’s territory...
Knock knock~
In the midst of Janet’s fantasies.
Several rhythmic knocks sounded outside the bedroom.
Janet instantly came back to her senses, gazing at the door.
In the next moment.
A powerful voice from a middle-aged man rang out from outside.
"Janet, I have important matters to report."
Janet frowned slightly, hesitated for two seconds, then spoke.
"Come in."
As the words fell.
The concealed double wooden doors were pushed open from the outside.
Joao walked into the bedroom.
When he saw Janet soaked in the bathtub again, and the faintly visible snow-white smoothness.
Joao bowed slightly, apologetically saying, "Sorry, Janet, I didn’t know you were bathing."
"I’ll come back later."
Janet spoke, "No need."
Her gaze shifted towards the two maids, "You two can go out and wait."
The maids dared not speak a word, bowed slightly, and quickly left the room.
Along the way.
They also closed the door behind Janet and Joao.
Looking at Joao, who had his head lowered, Janet extended her delicate white right hand, picked up a piece of linen cloth, and placed it in the hot water.
As a simple barrier to vision.
After finishing all this.
Janet looked at Joao and asked, "Uncle Joao, you said there are important matters to report?"
Joao still did not lift his head, he began to explain.
"Yes, Janet."
"Following your instructions, I arranged personnel in Morgan Town and set up recruitment points to enlist soldiers."
"Furthermore, I went personally to Kakasong City and found several weapon merchants."
"They have many weapons and armor willing to sell to us."
"But..."
Janet frowned and picked up Joao’s words.
"But what?"
Joao continued, "However, these weapon merchants are arbitrarily raising prices, citing impending warfare."
