System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 708 - 244: Ten Magic Ore Stones (10,000)
Donovan Ducas and a textile worker’s illegitimate child in Bordeaux City!
Upon coming of age, he arrived at the Marquis’s Castle.
Afterwards, Donovan casually granted him a barren territory and sent him away.
To ensure it didn’t affect his hereditary succession of the Marquis title in the Ducas Clan.
To protect the Ducas Clan’s reputation from being tainted.
He arranged for a follower to escort Lynn to the Southern Border, then kill him with a stab!
What he didn’t expect was that after a year, he heard the name ’Lynn’ again.
Godfrey, along with over three thousand soldiers of the Sword and Shield Corps led by Lawrence, set off from Bordeaux City.
They marched all the way to Morgan Town at the southernmost edge to suppress bandits.
The name ’Lynn’ reappeared due to Godfrey’s return.
That is to say.
In the past few months, Godfrey saw Lynn in Morgan Town.
And it’s been over a year since the follower attempted to assassinate Lynn...
Mark Ducas narrowed his eyes.
Lynn is still alive!
This information is truly surprising!
If this information is true.
Then his brother, whom he arranged to be assassinated, is rapidly developing his territory in the Southern Border Land.
Moreover, he caught Godfrey’s attention and curiosity.
Otherwise, the first thing he did upon returning to the Marquis’s Castle wouldn’t be to seek verification from Donovan!
Mark continued to ask, "Did Donovan say anything?"
The guard didn’t hesitate, "The master said he doesn’t remember this matter at all..."
Mark raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
His father Donovan is elderly and seriously injured.
But he clearly knows that Donovan has never been a forgetful person.
Even now.
Donovan still clearly remembers Lawrence spying on a maid bathing in his youth.
Someone with such a memory couldn’t possibly forget such an important event as granting a son a lordship?
However.
Mark also understood in his heart.
Even knowing now that Donovan’s illegitimate son Lynn is alive and developing his territory’s power.
He disdains to dispatch the family army to suppress him.
The Ducas family has held the Marquis title in the Karedi Empire for nearly two hundred years.
Just the soldiers of the Sword and Shield Clan alone number fifty thousand!
Not to mention the countless vassals in the marquisate.
If all were gathered, the armed soldiers would be at least over a hundred thousand!
Lynn, just an illegitimate child.
Even if granted a territory as a lord, what splash can he make?
Now, with the Ducas family.
The most urgent task is to gain more benefits in the impending battle for imperial authority!
Promotions, expanding connections, consolidating political status, more land, more exclusive resource rights, and enhancing family honor and reputation!
Furthermore.
Supporting Mitchell’s side to victory and ascending the throne as Emperor, and marrying his daughter to ally with the Emperor of the Empire.
Only by doing so.
Can the Ducas Clan inch closer to the greatest power!
At the thought of this.
Mark Ducas’s eyes were full of longing.
...
Three days passed in a flash.
After feeding the forest pigs in the breeding area, Lynn quickly stepped out.
The sharp and pungent stench almost made him faint.
Indeed.
To reap a harvest, one must pay an equal price!
He wants to have a powerful Wild Boar Knight troop, requiring not only magic ore but also a large amount of manpower and resources.
Fortunately.
The forest pigs eating dozens of pounds of food a day are growing at a visible rate.
Lynn estimates that in at most a year, they can grow to three thousand pounds!
A mature forest pig needs to grow in the Mutated Wild Boar Farm for a year.
Additionally, it requires extensive training from trainers.
To become a boar capable of charging in battle as a mounted knight!
Although a year’s cycle is extremely long.
Compared to purchasing a limited number of warhorses from outside the territory, it is simpler.
Mature forest pigs are not expensive, and their numbers far exceed those of warhorses.
Lynn feels that even the charge power of boars in the future may surpass that of warhorses!
While breathing fresh air, Lynn strode to the adjacent pasture.
Continuing to grind his Breeding Skills experience.
All the way until the afternoon.
Covered in a light sweat, Lynn still did not rest.
Now, of the Nine Great Skills, only Breeding has not been upgraded to Level 3.
Though he doesn’t need to exert himself in such a hurry; even if he acquires skill experience slowly.
There would be no problem.
However, each time he upgrades a skill to Level 3, he unlocks a new feature interface.
He also gains a Talent Duplication Book!
This is what he currently needs most.
Even though there are still seven Talent Duplication Books stored in his backpack, unused.
After Lynn poured the specially prepared feed into the stable’s trough where a Badan Pure-blood Horse was kept.
This warhorse snorted and began devouring it eagerly.
The current pasture seems somewhat busy, but with Guy leading a team of workers tending to the entire ranch.
The Badan Pure-blood Horses have not lost any weight but have become more spirited, with glossy coats.
