Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Lawrence found Kohalan and explained to him about Mount Talim on the sea.

Khalan's first reaction was worry.

Lawrence quickly asked with concern: "Can't your witchcraft be used on sea plants? Or does it consume too much?"

Kehalan's face was filled with worry, and he looked at Lawrence with a frown, "Then I can never eat kelp again?"

"So this is what you care about." Lawrence comforted: "Don't worry, the sea is very big, and your little witchcraft is like a drop of salt water dripping into the big river outside. It has no impact on the entire sea. .”

Lawrence explained: "Kelp only likes to grow in high latitudes and wide cold water areas, especially in shallow water areas. We only use these sea vegetables to form a defensive circle to isolate dangerous savages from the outside world."

"The sea vegetables you want to eat are not available here. If it is safe in Dumu Village, I will plant some sea vegetables in a suitable sea area in the northwest for your use."

Kehalan still felt very uncomfortable, "But you will also eat those sea vegetables, like oranges."

Saryl and Sophia, as well as Lawrence and Lathander, will eat oranges behind Khalan's back.

There is no way, the sweet oranges that can be eaten in winter are one of the few luxuries that everyone has, and no one is willing to accommodate Kehalan.

Everyone can rinse their mouths after eating oranges, which is the greatest care for Kehalan who grows oranges.

Unlike oranges, kelp has a huge yield and can be eaten without ripening. Moreover, this stuff is not fresh and is stored for a long time.

"Don't worry, we will definitely eat the same sea vegetables as you. I will have people grow an area of ​​sea vegetables exclusively for the people in our manor."

"And it's only needed for the past two or three years. I will get rid of the threat of the Vakiri within two years. By then, there will naturally be no need for Talim Mountain on the sea."

Seeing how powerful Lawrence was speaking, Salil quarreled: "Lawrence, can you defeat the Valkyrie tribe in two or three years?"

Lawrence explained: "The Vakiri are not monolithic. According to what we know, the Vakiri practice a feudal system."

"The earl gave a lot of land to his knights and barons, and each of these people had their own land and slaves."

"Now that all the Earl's heirs are dead and he is old, both the kingdom and the people under him are waiting to see this right."

"The count has no ability to care about other people, and those Valkyries under his command are not easy to play. They ask the count for benefits and rewards, or they go around robbing and causing trouble, whether it's Redbeard or the Avari people."

Lawrence saw the Vakiri more clearly than many people.

These people are the representatives of barbarians in this era. They have no national justice and no feelings.

It is impossible to sympathize with the people at the bottom. They have no sympathy at all. It can be seen from the actions of Friesen, Andrew, Redbeard, Avari, Kuer and other northerners that these people have no sympathy for murder. There is no burden mentality.

Whatever you do, you will be rewarded, and whatever you do is based on profit, you will extort and rob at every turn, whether it is robbing those at the bottom, or sometimes your own people will take advantage of them.

If you have money, go and deal with it. The main reason is to make a fortune. After landing, you will not obey the orders at all and do whatever you want. You will only become more honest after returning to the lord's territory.

It’s not that they want to be honest, but they will die if they are not honest.

Redbeard paid taxes honestly because he would really be killed if he didn't pay taxes to the earl.

Doug and others were dishonest and showed off their wealth in front of the Avari, so they were killed in a normal manner.

Here in the North, you can show off your force, but it's best not to show off your wealth, especially if you don't have the ability.

Once these barbarian warriors do not receive enough rewards, they will run away, and if they have the strength, they will rebel.

Since a long time ago, various assassination customs have been popular here. It has been like this for thousands of years and has never changed.

The count is not dead because everyone loves him, but because no one can challenge the count yet.

The Luofen Kingdom has no greed for Binghai, as long as the people here pay taxes honestly.

It was originally a territory awarded by the king, so of course the king never thought of attacking it again.

The nearby nobles have no interest in this barren land, and the group of naked barbarians above is very difficult to manage.

We can't even control the barbarians on our own territory, let alone a group of purebred pirates.

The Wakili people only trade with Pig Trotter City. Because they used to go out to rob every year, the land tax is higher than other places.

Whoever annexes this territory will have to pay taxes to the king. Everyone thinks it is not worthwhile and there is no use in conquering it.

The atmosphere of the barbarian kingdom determined that only Luofen III would care about being invaded.

The other lords who were entrusted did not care about the life or death of the earl at all. Even the nobles who were entrusted by the earl wished that the old guy died quickly.

Lawrence was unable to defend against the barbarian army of Luofen III. The most elite warriors of the Barbarian Kingdom were concentrated under Luofen III.

But I believe that as long as there is no war for a few years, the wild boar legion, which consumes huge amounts of money, will soon sink.

There is a problem in both the enfeoffment system and the centralization system, that is, the Central Corps lacks experience.

It is difficult for an army that has not been trained for a long time to maintain its combat effectiveness. It is also easy to breed various corruption problems because of its superior treatment and safe status without having to fight.

A country without a sense of crisis will easily fall into decline.

When the barbarians walked out of the north, countries in the south, east, and west became vigilant and began to train armed soldiers.

Lawrence decided to see Count Valkyrie's attitude first. If the other party insisted on fighting, then fight.

If you want peace, then fight again in two years.

Lawrence needs to develop Dumu Port first. When there are more people, he can form a legion to resist the plunder of the Valkyries, and he also has the strength to take the initiative to settle accounts with the Valkyries.

Because he knew very well what kind of thing the savages were, Lawrence quickly called Friesen who had nothing to do.

"You go to Pig Trotter City and bring my gift and letter to the Duke. I can help trade the supplies they brought back from the Western Kingdom at the location of Dumu Port."

"This is a long-term deal. We can purchase the slaves that Pig Trotter City does not want, and we can also provide the Western Kingdom with a small output of ale and orun twig powder. If Dumu Port is destroyed, we will go back In the mountains, we will no longer trade with the outside world.”

Friesen was feeling bored and soon set off again to go to the bustling Pig Trotter City for a drink.

Lawrence called out Reguero again. Unlike those rigid elderly regimes, as an emerging young group, Lawrence focuses on flexibility.

"Go catch a lone Valkyrie and bring him alive."
