Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Since the establishment of the Colossus, the town of Phumexiu has gained a long period of peace, and the development time gained is far greater than the time it took to build the Colossus.

Lawrence returned to the town of Phumexiu with Kohalan on a moose, and Delenn had repaired the Colossus.

When it was first built, it was too rough, resulting in some places not being meticulously perfected.

It's almost summer now, and there are people responsible for cultivating farmland and digging holes. Delen is mainly responsible for the monthly building maintenance tasks.

When I returned to the manor, I saw Seravan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Master, we were attacked by forest tribes two days ago, but we repelled them. Now we need warriors to join us to avenge them!"

If you are beaten, you will definitely come back with revenge. There is no such thing as tolerance in the world of barbarians.

Lawrence said very simply: "Okay, Reguero should be back soon. We will set off when she comes back. It happens to be training."

"Let's gather the soldiers first. We need shields, axes, and helmets to fight the foresters."

Lawrence thought carefully about what he needed. Wheat and other crops were not yet mature, so the proximity to the river also reduced the pressure on watering.

Except for blacksmiths and construction workers, most people are in the off-farm period when they take turns to rest.

Seravan introduced: "There are three hundred people from the forest tribe who attacked us. The weapons they use are weapons made of stone and bones. They can eat people. They have no cloth like clothes on their bodies. They are thinner than women. You can see the flesh on their bodies." bone."

"They speak an incomprehensible Lofen language, which is somewhat similar to the language of the Ug people."

"One of us men could kill three of them. Beow killed six and I killed two."

Lawrence showed a thoughtful look, and Sariel complained: "Seravin, you are still so weak."

Seravan looked ashamed and defended: "I was sleeping at the time and it was late when I went out. They started running away after we killed more than ten people."

The reason Lawrence didn't like the Ug people at first was that the Ug people had the habit of cannibalism. After hearing that this forest barbarian also had the habit of cannibalism, he quickly set the general tone.

"Those who attack us must die!!"

The manor was quickly mobilized, and Lawrence and others began to prepare for the holy counterattack.

Salil asked: "We are all going to go there this time?"

"No need." Lawrence looked for suitable weapons in the warehouse and explained: "There are frequent caravans during this period. In addition, people from the Valkyrie and Luofen Kingdom may pass by us at this time to go to the west."

"We don't need all of us to go to the forest people. Just leave it to the men and women of the Black Goat Tribe and the soldiers we sent out."

"Those who don't want to see blood can work honestly in the fields, and those who are willing to fight can become soldiers who can get paid."

"A savage village of three hundred people doesn't need to worry us too much."

"But these tribes that cannot communicate and are too willing to attack must be eradicated as soon as possible."

Lawrence took out his shield, "This time I plan to arrange for twenty soldiers, ten shield girls, and ten reserve youths to go over, and the rest will call directly from the Black Goat tribe."

Shield maidens are female warriors who protect themselves. For example, Sariel and Reglo are both shield maidens.

The same goes for Emma and Bull. These two maids are usually responsible for housework and various trivial matters. In fact, they are both traditional barbarian women who have killed people and seen blood.

Emma and Bull's friends are also barbarian women who have experienced the dark night. In order to survive and family, they take up arms and join forces. They also receive some militia training. They can clearly distinguish left and right, and can form shields and defenses with each other. The combination of ax and sword.

Compared with barbarian men who are accustomed to fighting separately, shield girls can form battle formations more easily.

Most shield girls have no men to rely on. In order to earn more food, clothing and rewards, they fight more fiercely than men.

Sariel asked: "Who will be arranged to go there? Reglo?"

Lawrence said: "Don't wait for Reglo, Buell and Navia will follow, as the nuns of our church."

"Navia?" Salil didn't understand the purpose of arranging this person. "She doesn't know witchcraft or fighting. What should she do?"

Lawrence explained: "Just go there as a nun. The commander this time is Seravan, but the other barbarians will naturally elect the bravest person to speak out. This will lead to differences of opinion between the two sides. Navia's role is to witness all of these."

An army commander, a fierce general, a saint directly affiliated with the Lord's Church.

The unique regional culture resulted in Lawrence having many brave soldiers and generals, but he lacked legion commanders and supervisors.

Sariel didn't understand Lawrence's intention, but she had no intention of continuing to ask. She just couldn't help but lean in to provide a few comments when watching others do things, showing her presence.

The presence of a nun or saint would strengthen the loyalty and faith of the soldiers, while keeping the army loyal to Lawrence and not to anyone else.

What Lawrence implemented was not a social or communist system, but a dictatorship.

The difference is that it does not rely on organizations, but on individuals.

If the organizational system cannot interfere with a person's free actions and cannot restrict the supreme ruler, it is a dictatorship.

Lawrence was dictatorial, above all rules and regulations.

From oneself to the next, everyone is equal.

Below oneself, there is a clear hierarchy.

This is indeed the case in the current manor. On the one hand, everyone is equal, but on the other hand, there are distinct classes.

People will grow up. From the beginning, they didn't want to provoke anyone, they just wanted to live quietly, and they didn't know the temper to resist unless they were beaten. Now they will take the initiative to attack potential dangers, go overseas to make a fortune for the sake of strategy, and kill their next-door neighbors.

One of the characteristics of feudal lords is expansion, using various means to annex more territory.

There is no land that others don't want, except for the garbage that cannot be taken away or that is too troublesome.

In order to expand and set a stable tone for the Legion's first campaign, Lawrence sought out Lathander.

"Mother, the soldiers who went this time are mainly former Cloda people, and men and women fight together. I hope you can work with Navia to supervise the discipline of this army and let them obey the instructions of the commander and generals. "

Luosanda thought for a moment and asked, "How many days does it take to get back and forth?"

Lawrence: "It takes six hours to get there by boat. When we come back, we walk against the current because the road near the river beach has not been completely cleared, so it will take two days."

After determining that it would take about three days, Lathander agreed.

"Can."

Lathander didn't mind Lawrence arranging things for her, nor did she mind annihilating other primitive tribes. The first thing she considered was how many days she would have to come back and how long she would have to live out.

On the contrary, he didn't care about fighting and other aspects.

A witch's life is long and tenacious. Although the fifty-year-old Lathander looks like an old man, she actually still has half of her life left to waste.

Lawrence pays more attention to health, and it should not be difficult to live to the age of ninety.

Lathander herself also belongs to the forest people, and her familiarity with the forest people is much better than that of the Pumixiu people. In addition, her status in the manor is very high, so her opinions will definitely be taken seriously.

Lawrence prayed in the church before the army set off.

"Now, I want to bless your weapons."

Lawrence asked the maids to boil a basin of water to cool naturally, and then sprinkled the weapons that everyone put together.

A sense of ritual is a necessary procedure. Whether it is a sword or a spear or a steel-making furnace for tanks and missiles, as long as it is something that eats people and kills people, it is not too much to pay attention to the sense of ritual.

"From now on, you are the ones blessed by God. Those man-eating monsters you killed are not worthy of being human. God will forgive you for the sins you committed in killing humanoid creatures this time. Everything is God's will."

The Revenge Legion soon set out with the goal of destroying those cruel man-eating monsters.
