System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 813 - 261: The Kidnapped Lord Bishop (10,000 Words) (Part 6)
What a grand construction!
Such defense fortifications, not to mention Kakasong City.
Even in the entire Karedi Empire.
He had never heard of any city possessing a Weng City, such as these impregnable defense works!
The doubt in Samuel’s heart grew stronger.
Whether it’s the outpost fortress, the watchtower, or the city walls and Weng City before him.
All require a substantial amount of manpower and resources, and even financial power!
Thinking of this.
Samuel finally understood why, in such a large Morgan Town, no trace of any townsmen could be seen.
It must be this Lord who has taken all the population and labor from Morgan Town and the surrounding areas to his territory!
Apart from this.
Samuel couldn’t think of any other possibilities!
Samuel’s gaze shifted.
He vaguely saw that there seemed to be numerous strange standard items stationed on the city wall.
Even though he squinted repeatedly, due to the angle at which those items were placed, he couldn’t clearly see them.
As Samuel observed his surroundings, the heavy sound of the iron gate closing echoed again.
Samuel turned back to take a glance.
Indeed.
The thick iron gate was slowly closing by the soldiers.
Samuel shifted his gaze.
A burly figure strode over from the stairs not far away.
Samuel withdrew his gaze, watching from a distance as the burly man joined Earl.
After a few exchanges.
The burly man strode toward Samuel.
"Gentlemen, I am Rose, the commander of this defense fortification!"
"Next, I will lead you into the territory ahead."
Samuel nodded, without saying a word.
If it were Morgan Town, relying on twenty heavy cavalry and with utmost effort.
Perhaps there might still be a slight chance, for one or two cavalrymen to escape.
Now.
They had entered beyond the city walls, and the iron gate was tightly shut.
Not to mention.
This impregnable like defense fortification, with so many soldiers in total.
Just counting the heavy cavalry beside them, the soldiers stationed on the walls.
There were at least two to three hundred people!
Such a large number, relying on them - twenty Church Guards and a Church Bishop.
Trying to break out?
It’s nothing short of a fool’s dream!
Now, they are like fish in a barrel.
Rose called upon a group of soldiers to take over Samuel’s carriage and cavalry troop from Earl.
Passing through Weng City, they continued towards the small town.
As for Earl and his cavalry, they naturally needed to return to Morgan Town to continue their guard!
Samuel’s gaze was still sizing up his surroundings.
As a knight, he naturally had to constantly observe and familiarize himself with his surroundings.
This had become instinct for Samuel.
Under Rose’s guidance, everyone passed through Weng City.
Taking advantage of different angles and the light of the sky.
Samuel finally saw clearly what those strange standard items placed on the city wall were exactly.
They were a number of catapults and heavy crossbows!
Even with just a casual glance, he saw at least a dozen of them!
The key is.
This is just on one side of the city wall!
If all the catapults and medium crossbows atop the city within a city were added together...
Plus the red brick houses lining the roadsides that were obviously soldiers’ dormitories from just a glance.
Samuel couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Having standard plate armor heavy cavalry, outpost fortresses, and city walls.
That’s already quite something!
How come even large machines of mass destruction like these on the city wall are countless?
What on earth is the situation with Morgan Town?
Possessing such sturdy defense works and such a large number of soldiers.
A lord with such formidable strength.
They had never heard of it in Kakasong City!
In the carriage, Simo seemed finally aware that something was amiss.
He turned to look at Samuel outside the carriage, speaking in a deep voice.
"Samuel, I sense something off!"
Listening to Simo’s words, Samuel’s face was full of bitterness, "Lord Bishop."
"I already told you last night when we entered Morgan Town."
Simo frowned, immediately retorting.
"What you mentioned being off, could it be the same as what I meant?"
Samuel helplessly lowered his head, not daring to continue speaking.
As things stand, it’s too late to say anything.
They could only take it one step at a time.
They traveled through the woodlands, the sound of hooves resonating through the forest.
Until they passed through the woods.
Their surroundings brightened, their view widened again.
After their eyes adapted to the bright light ahead, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
In a vast swath of cultivated fields.
Fields of crops, like a green ocean, swayed back and forth in the breeze like waves.
The air was filled with the distinct faint sweet scent of blooming crops.
When they reached the edge of the fields.
Samuel carefully inspected a few samples.
The land was plowed into ridges and furrows.
Certainly winter barley plants were planted on the ridges.
The planting distance was systematic, and the growth uniform.
Each barley stalk had about the same number of ears.
Even just a glimpse gave Samuel a sense of inexplicable comfort!
As they continued forward.
Samuel discovered, the fields didn’t only grow barley.
There was an abundance of vegetables, linen...
Even some blossomed crops he couldn’t identify!
Samuel’s curiosity was evident!
Forming an army with strict discipline, and constructing mind-blowing defense works.
These could be overlooked.
Some geniuses with extraordinary talent in military matters.
Could indeed achieve such feats.
For instance, Mitchell Carolyn, known as the Spear of the Empire.
At the age of twenty, he dared to lead an army of fifty thousand cavalry to Kai Xia County.
Suppressing the Earl of Becker who wanted to break free from the Karedi Empire.
Although there were twists in it.
Eventually, Mitchell succeeded!
Unlike Mitchell’s military prowess. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The lord they had yet to meet ahead had construction ability, military prowess, and research and production capability.
Amazingly, there was also the ability to cultivate and plant.
Able to cultivate and plant crops that flourish so well.
This planting method was unheard of!
Even if it was unheard of.
Samuel could sense from these thriving crops.
In one or two months at the most.
This territory would enter the harvest season!
Forcing himself to suppress the shock inside.
Samuel knew as well.
He, Simo, and the other Church Guards came to this territory under duress.
They were not here for cultivating a sense of wonder.
However.
As Samuel gazed into the distance, seeing clearly the massive town ahead.
His eyes once again showed a look of astonishment.
