Secret Workshop

Chen Mo's plan was a complete success, and he reaped great rewards.

First, they acquired two hundred excellent warhorses, which was Chen Mo's most pressing need.

In this world, Chen Mo has many plans to implement, but he cannot do them all personally. Building and developing his own power is undoubtedly the best choice, which is why Chen Mo chose to occupy this territory and become the Lord.

The development of a territory inevitably requires a strong armed force, and as Knight, Chen Mo must develop a large number of such forces.

Secondly, he tested Count Valen's attitude and found out that he did indeed want to take action against Chen Mo.

After all, the strength Chen Mo displayed was too astonishing and exaggerated, exceeding their previous understanding.

An overwhelming power is hard for people to believe and accept; it can only frighten people for a while before they gradually develop doubts and denials.

In fact, Chen Mo had anticipated this. His initial goal was simply to reduce trouble and have a period of stable development, and that goal has already been achieved.

Third, deliberately feigning weakness to provoke the Knight into attacking not only foreshadowed the subsequent counterattack, but also boosted morale and tested the combat skills and loyalty of his men.

Fourth, they took the opportunity to kill nearly half of Count Valen's Knight, weakening the enemy's strength.

Finally, after this experience, Chen Mo, who had been preparing for a long time, felt that the time was ripe and he could officially launch his plan.

Sheathing his longsword, Chen Mo stepped over the corpses and slowly walked out to meet Andrew and the others who were rushing towards him.

Watching Chen Mo single-handedly annihilate a powerful Knights, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of admiration and pride. This was their incomparably powerful lord, Lord of war!

Chen Mo remained calm, showing no sign of having just engaged in a fierce battle and slaughtered dozens of powerful Knight.

"Andrew."

Chen Mo called out slowly.

"My Lord!"

Andrew's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"Clean this place up, and equip all these warhorses for the guard."

"Yes, Lord!"

Andrew looked at the group of tall and mighty warhorses in front of him, his eyes shining with intense heat.

Finally, he would have his own warhorse. From now on, he would be a true Knight, a Knight who would swear to serve his Lord to the death!

The others were equally excited, their faces flushed. They had never imagined that they too could own a precious warhorse and become noble and powerful Knight.

"From now on, the entire territory guard will be transformed into cavalry. I want them to grow into qualified Knight as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the guards were also thrilled. Didn't this mean that they also had a chance to become Knight?

As ordinary commoners, the noble Knight was something they could never have imagined. Who would have thought that Chen Mo would train them all to become Knight!

Even the most powerful Lord in Europe only had a little over a hundred Knight.

However, they believed that their great Lord could definitely do it. All they needed to do was train hard, constantly improve their strength, meet the requirements to become Knight, and even be stronger than other Knight!

However, Andrew looked somewhat troubled.

"But, my Lord..."

"Horse riding training needs to start from a young age and take several years to learn before one can ride a warhorse well for combat. It is really difficult to learn it in a short period of time."

Chen Mo smiled calmly upon hearing this.

"First, tidy this place up, then everyone take their warhorses and gather at the workshop."

After saying that, Chen Mo took the lead and walked towards the workshop located in a corner of the manor, which was surrounded by a tall wall.

After Chen Mo left, Andrew and the others suppressed their intense anticipation for the warhorses and led the guards to gather the nearly two hundred precious warhorses together before quickly starting to clear the battlefield.

The bodies were moved outside the manor and burned, while the broken armor and weapons they left behind were carefully collected and awaited Chen Mo's disposal.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield as ordered by Chen Mo, everyone rushed to the tall and magnificent warhorses. Each person chose a favorite and held on tightly, refusing to let go. These warhorses in this era were equivalent to modern supercars, precious mounts that every man longed for but could hardly obtain.

After getting ready, Andrew led his guards and their warhorses toward the mysterious workshop they had never entered before.

This workshop was established when Chen Mo took over the territory. It covers a large area and all the artisans and their families in the territory live there.

That place is also a key area they patrol and guard regularly, and its defenses are even tighter than those at the Lord's mansion.

Aside from the frequent plumes of smoke rising from the workshop and the incessant clanging and hammering sounds, they had no idea what was actually happening inside.

However, the large number of new farming tools manufactured by the workshop greatly improved the farming efficiency of their family. This year, the grain yield of the territory was much higher than in previous years, but the Lord did not collect a single tax. Even their food and drink expenses were bought from the farmers. In the Lord's words, this was called recuperation and rest.

When they entered the mysterious workshop through the open door, they found that it was not as magical as they had imagined.

Two rows of neat houses built of square red bricks and gray mud, and two tall, furnace-like structures standing on one side of the workshop, from which wisps of smoke rose.

Many artisans and their families were busy in the workshop. People were constantly going in and out of the room, and various sounds were coming from inside. The workshop was a scene of bustling activity.

But they could see that, despite being busy, everyone's expressions were cheerful and positive, clearly indicating that they were very satisfied with their current lives, at least Chen Mo had not mistreated them in terms of living conditions.

As they curiously observed the scene in the workshop, Chen Mo emerged from a house accompanied by an elderly man with a wrinkled face but a sprightly spirit. Andrew and the others quickly went forward.

After glancing at the excited soldiers, Chen Mo's gaze fell on the tattered armor carried on the horses' backs.

"Take off all that junk, and all the weapons you're carrying, and throw them all together."

"Take off all of your clothes."

Chen Mo frowned as he spoke, finally pointing to the armor worn by Andrew and the others.

Those were the armors left behind by the original Knight and barons of the territory, and they still bore the marks of werewolf claws.
