Territory Development

Chen Mo was generous to his first group of subordinates in this world, and directly taught them the Holy Cross Swordsmanship.

Having received Knight training from a young age and being proficient in swordsmanship, Andrew immediately discovered the power of this swordsmanship. He was thrilled and grateful for Chen Mo's generous gift, and eagerly began to learn this exquisite swordsmanship.

With a solid foundation and exceptional talent, Andrew quickly mastered the Holy Cross Swordsmanship, greatly improving his strength.

Chen Mo was very satisfied with Andrew's talent. He never expected that among the people he had just randomly saved, there would be such a hidden talent.

Normally, Chen Mo would have Andrew train the others, and he would also personally instruct them on combat techniques when he had time.

With the guidance of Andrew, a powerful warrior from a legitimate Knight family, and Chen Mo, a former Martial Arts School Master, their strength improved by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, Chen Mo divided the hundreds of soldiers recruited from the people into nine teams, each led by a different leader, and they underwent unified physical and sword training.

With ample daily food supplies and a scientific training plan devised by Chen Mo, the soldiers' physical fitness and swordsmanship improved rapidly.

Moreover, as Chen Mo continued to kill the werewolves that invaded the territory, the morale of Andrew and his group, as well as the soldiers of the territory guard, was high. They trained harder and hoped to follow their powerful Lord as soon as possible and kill the werewolves together!

While assembling and training the territory's guards, Chen Mo gathered all the artisans in the entire territory and built a workshop in a corner of the Lord's manor.

Chen Mo read almost every book in the library. With his photographic memory, the contents of these books were clearly imprinted in Chen Mo mind, including various simple manufacturing methods for many modern products.

Glass, soap, steel, cement, and other such materials are not difficult to manufacture. Even in the extremely backward Middle Ages, they could be produced using some simple methods.

A year has passed, and Andrew and the others have made great strides in their strength. Apart from Andrew, the others have basically reached the standard of becoming a Knight. Even the combat power of the hundreds of soldiers in the territory guard is greater than that of most of the squire Knight.

Moreover, compared to the armies of other Lord, under Chen Mo's training which incorporated modern military concepts, they were far more disciplined and obedient. When all the soldiers stood in formation, their military bearing was neat and orderly, their morale was imposing, and their demeanor was solemn and awe-inspiring, far surpassing that of those chaotic and undisciplined troops.

That day, Andrew was leading his soldiers in training on the parade ground next to the Lord's manor. All the soldiers were paired up and fighting each other. In an instant, swords flashed, shouts of battle shook the sky, and the crisp sound of longswords clashing was continuous.

Suddenly, the alarm bells on the watchtower rang. Andrew frowned, immediately ordered everyone to stop training, and led them to rush up the wall.

Standing on the wall, Andrew looked into the distance and saw a dark mass of cavalry charging toward them from miles away. Judging from the banners they were flying, this large and imposing force was none other than the Knights under Count Valen.

The cavalry moved very fast and arrived at the foot of the wall in the blink of an eye. Leading the way were more than twenty Knight in heavy armor, holding long spears, looking very imposing. Behind them were dozens of Knight- in-waiting, dressed in leather armor and riding warhorses, also looking very majestic.

They were well-equipped, each with three horses, and the group of over sixty people had nearly two hundred warhorses, forming a dark mass outside the wall, which put a lot of pressure on the people on the wall.

Under Andrew's solemn gaze, the leading Knight pushed open the visor of his helmet.

"Open the door immediately! We are here on the orders of Count Valen!"

Andrew made no move upon hearing this, even though Count Valen was the nominal owner of this land and all the surrounding minor nobles were his vassals.

However, Chen Mo did not pledge allegiance to him after taking over the territory and was not considered his subordinate. After sending people to inspect the pile of werewolf corpses, Count Valen did not take any rash actions but chose to wait and see.

This new Lord, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seemed to have come from nowhere. His origins were mysterious, yet he was incredibly powerful. Before figuring out his true strength, no one dared to provoke him lightly. After all, even the most powerful Lord, Count Valen, would have to pay a huge price to eliminate a few dozen werewolves, and he might even be wiped out by the werewolves if he wasn't careful.

But now, the Knights under Count Valen's command have suddenly appeared in their territory. Andrew has no choice but to be cautious, not knowing what their intentions are.

The manor, left by the former Lord, was not well-defended. The walls were not even entirely made of stone; a long section of them was made of earth and was crumbling due to years of neglect, indicating that the baron was not well-off.

Andrew had suggested to Chen Mo that the wall be repaired, but Chen Mo rejected the idea.

Just as Andrew was nervously arranging for his soldiers to defend the wall, preparing for an attack that could break out at any moment, a dignified voice rang out behind him.

"Open the door and let them in."

Andrew turned his head and saw Chen Mo, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion.

"But, my Lord!..."

Andrew was shocked to hear this and tried to dissuade him, but Chen Mo raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I called them."

Chen Mo's words left Andrew completely confused, but since the Lord had given the order, despite his doubts, he immediately led his men to open the gate.

The Knight under Count Valen, who had been waiting impatiently, saw the gate finally open and spurred their horses, Mercedes-Benz directly through the open gate.

With the neighing of warhorses, more than sixty Knight, squires and nearly two hundred warhorses rushed into the manor, then reined in their horses and looked at Chen Mo, who had just come down from the wall.

Chen Mo walked slowly toward the group of Knight, and Andrew and a group of soldiers quickly followed.

The Knight on horseback watched silently as Chen Mo slowly walked towards them. Even after Chen Mo stopped in front of them, the Knight remained An Ran on their horses, looking down at Chen Mo with haughty disdain, showing no intention of dismounting.

They looked at the tall, stern-faced, black-haired youth in front of them with scrutinizing eyes.

Was it him alone who killed more than fifty werewolves in one night?

They simply did not believe the rumor that was circulating widely in the nearby territories. As the strongest fighting force on the continent, they had fought against werewolves and knew very well just how powerful those ferocious and bloodthirsty Beast were.

That was a terrifying power far beyond human capabilities.
