Under Lynn’s gaze, Rose stepped back and left.
He walked forward to the squad of soldiers who were training.
Rose scanned the group and shouted, "Stop training! Gather!"
The two hundred soldiers who were deftly swinging their winged spears imdiately stopped.
They raised the winged spears upright and quickly approached Rose.
An orderly formation of soldiers stood in front of Rose.
Rose said in a deep voice, "By the master’s command, you will accompany to bring in the exiles!"
"Everyone, find your warhorse now..."
Following Rose’s command, the soldiers dispersed orderly to find their respective warhorses.
Just a mont later.
The soldiers, clad in plate armor and mounted on warhorses, gathered on the red brick ground beneath the city wall.
If these plate armor soldiers weren’t wearing full face helts, one could clearly see their invigorated expressions.
They were the earliest townsn chosen as soldiers, and had been trained the longest.
Yet, their duties involved only daily training and escorting rchant caravan to the town.
They had never ridden warhorses on such a large scale.
At this mont, they could truly be called cavalry!
Rose mounted on top of his warhorse, gently guided the horse beneath him, and circled around the squad for inspection.
After confirming everything was in order, Rose turned his gaze upwards toward the top of the city wall.
There, Lynn was leaning on the recess of the wall, looking down at them.
The mountain wind ruffled Lynn’s hair, adding a few hints of sternness to his seemingly youthful face.
After the heavy iron gate was opened, Lynn shouted, "Depart!"
Hearing Lynn’s brief but inspiring command, the hearts of all soldiers on horseback raced.
Receiving Lynn’s command, Rose also shouted loudly, "Depart!"
Rose clamped his legs around the warhorse, which had been trained to recognize commands instantly.
Hoo~
Amid the warhorses’ neighing, Rose led two hundred plate armor soldiers charging toward the city wall gate.
Da-da-da~
The continuous sound of hooves echoed on the li-paved road, converging into a battle hymn!
In just a few seconds.
This cavalry squad rushed out of the city wall, transforming into a tal line galloping toward the northeast direction of the city wall.
Where the warhorses passed, dust rose...
Lynn continued to stand on the city wall, watching the cavalry depart until they disappeared at the wilderness’s edge.
This mission to bring in the exiles naturally carried so risk.
But at least three hundred exiles were equally important to Lynn now.
Population is the foundation of a territory’s developnt.
After a mont of watching.
Lynn stepped down from the city wall.
Looking at the townsn behind him, cutting down the surrounding logs, Lynn stepped in to join them.
Rolling up his sleeves, he gripped the end of the axe handle with his left hand for support.
He held his right hand two to three fists above his left hand as a leverage point.
This ensured the stability of the axe while effectively utilizing power.
Thud~
Thud~
Thud~
Lynn swung the iron axe in his hand, constantly cutting down a pine wood.

...
Since building the first wooden hut, Lynn had already mastered the technique of using the axe.
Logging was not difficult.
The townsn were cutting logs around the city wall naturally to expand the barracks.
As more soldiers were conscripted, the nearly hundred red brick houses had beco insufficient for the soldiers to reside.
Currently the soldiers numbered six hundred, and there would only be more in the future.
As Lynn continued to log, accumulating experience, ti swiftly advanced.
According to the full-speed long-distance galloping speed of a dium warhorse, it’s thirty kiloters per hour.
This ant that from the city wall to the area where Sienna said the exiles fled, at most, it would be an hour.
If deviation occurs, searching might consu so ti...
If all goes well.
By evening, Rose should be able to return to the city wall with the soldiers and exiles!
After accumulating experience for several hours continuously, Lynn stopped.
At nightfall, amidst the surprised gazes of the soldiers in the barracks, Lynn joined them for a dinner.
They had heard their Lord, Master Lynn, would often personally work the land, build houses, and produce tools.
After half a day together, it turned out to be true!
The night gradually deepened.
Even though the current temperature was three degrees, the temperature in the mountains was even lower, only one degree.
Yet, the soldiers on top of the city wall hadn’t relaxed their patrols and watches.
However, beside them, there were piles of small bonfires for warmth.
If conditions weren’t available, so be it.
The current territory still had a certain amount of anthracite stored, so there was no need for these soldiers to suffer in vain.
In an empty red brick house dormitory, the anthracite burned vigorously in the fireplace.
The entire thirty-square red brick house housed eight bunk beds, allowing sixteen soldiers to live relatively comfortably.
There were passageways, and cabinets for storing items...
The beds were laid with woven wild straw mats and a slightly thin coarse wool blanket.
Although not very thick, it was far better than covering with straw and weeds.
Moreover, with the anthracite for heating, it was enough for these soldiers to endure the winter.
