Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Most barbarians would not think of paying a ransom.

Just like attacking a city in ancient times to rob, the soldiers at the bottom don't think about such long-term things.

Soldiers live precariously with their heads in their belts, so they naturally like to do things that give them some pleasure, and more people are willing to take risks.

Not only risking robberies, but also risking confrontations with superiors, and even assassinations!

This was not the first time that Fleiss and others had committed a robbery. They had cooperated with Lawrence before.

Beow and other young people also know Lawrence's rules.

Because of the presence of these people, Earl Steer's men maintained restraint because they did not want to lose both sides, and because they would definitely have to pass through Lawrence's territory if they went back.

The Marquis of York and his family were able to survive safely because they were lucky enough to meet Lawrence's men.

The other barbarians in this era would not treat prisoners so kindly. The so-called noble status outside was worthless to the barbarians.

Even if he is a king, he should be killed if he is captured.

Boxes of gold coins, silver coins, pearls, corals, beautiful gems, armor and weapons were placed on the sand.

Lawrence looked at these things calmly. Salil wanted to go over and take a look at the jewelry, but was quickly held back by Sophia.

On the fifteen square meters of sand, there are all kinds of gleaming treasures piled up.

These are the foundations of the nobility!

Lawrence looked at the Marquis of York standing aside. The Marquis of York quickly said: "I am willing to dedicate all of this to you in exchange for my freedom!"

Lawrence said seriously: "These are no longer your things, but the treasures that our soldiers bravely recaptured. Your things are only in places you can control, not in my hands."

The Marquis of York faced not only the young-looking Lawrence, but also the ferocious group of savages around him.

Under the strong momentum of the barbarians around him, the Marquis of York could only remain silent.

Lawrence looked at the treasures and asked everyone: "This time, who broke through the defense first, and who defeated the most enemies?"

Beow said: "It's Durand."

Durand held his head high, his face full of confidence and joy.

Lawrence looked at the rest of the people, and they all had the same opinion on this matter.

Barbarians respect the strong, especially those who really dare to fight and charge on the battlefield.

Lawrence said: "Very good, then you can choose the trophies you want. This is the honor you deserve and will not affect Earl Sidel's harvest."

After hearing Lawrence's words, Durand quickly took out a bag of gold coins, a knight's helmet, and a wine glass inlaid with gems from the pile of treasures.

"Prophet, I want these rewards." Durand placed the selected rewards on the ground and knelt down on one knee in front of Lawrence.

Lawrence stood up, "Yes, I hereby declare that these are your private property, the reward given to you by God. Unless you exchange them for other wealth, no one should take them away."

"Stand aside with your reward, it's time for the next warrior."

"Yes, Prophet." Baron Durand felt relaxed and had never felt so comfortable before.

Lawrence quickly rewarded Fleiss, who everyone recognized as the second person.

It's not that he's not as strong as Durand, it's mainly that he has to obey Lawrence's orders, which makes him unable to let go and fight casually.

"Frys, you did a great job." Lawrence said after Fleiss selected the treasure: "I recently killed a geomancer, and I will reward you with a geomancer fur in the winter. Bearskin coat.”

Fleiss looked at the weak-looking young man in front of him in shock.

"Geoblast Bear? Is it a baby?"

"No, it's an adult geomancer." Lawrence said calmly: "Both you and Beoff will get one. Beoff's father has always been loyal to me. This time Beoff didn't because of his young age. Fame, but I think he deserves these awards.”

"Beow, I will give you enough food to feed you and clothes that represent honor. You don't want to take the reward this time."

Beow quickly lowered his head, "Yes! Prophet!"

Lawrence has his own judgment. Beow has not grown up yet, nor has he shown great strength and destructive power.

Even though it is now stable, people around us still have a lot of old ideas, and there is already a market for power and violence.

Fleiss and others are all solid warriors in their prime, the head of the family and the leader.

Beow is still too young, much younger than Lawrence, has no strength or wisdom, and his father has just left.

In fact, his father is much more powerful than him, and Beow cannot hold on to so much private property now.

For example, everyone knew that the fertile land outside Pumexiu Town was Lawrence's land. Even though it was full of crisp vegetables and radishes, no one dared to dig it secretly.

If it's the land of the Beow or the Durira people, then they can't hold it.

Lawrence was not interested in the dazzling things in front of him, but after all, he was the initiator of this operation and the biggest boss.

Ninety percent of everything here belongs to Lawrence.

Lawrence only kept half of it, and in addition to giving the rest to Si Deer, some were given to the soldiers this time.

"These are the honors you deserve." Lawrence looked at the people who got off the boat, "I deserve these slaves, and these boats you brought back belong to me."

Everyone said unanimously: "Yes! Prophet!"

Although these ships were snatched from the Marquis of York, Earl of Sdle's men had all received their share of the rewards and brought back the treasures to the Earl, so they had no idea about the ships.

Earl Sider's territory is not close to the sea and has no port. If you want these ships, you can't bring them back.

The biggest gain this time is the population. The population here in the north is sparse, but now more than 300 people have been acquired at one time. As long as they can successfully integrate here, they can bring huge help to the territory.

However, these nobles of the Hokuriku Kingdom are still in a bit of trouble. If they are here, it will be difficult for the new people from the Water City to integrate into Dumu City.

Lawrence divided these people, released ten young men and knight guards on the spot, and asked them to return to the Hokuriku Kingdom with food and water to report the news.

The remaining Marquess of York and some weak noble men and women were taken to the town of Pumexiu.

When the warriors of the fleet returned to the foot of the Colossus, many women came with their children to greet their men.

Fleiss's wife and children came over to look at him and hugged him happily.

Beoff's mother also came to greet him with Beoff's younger brothers and sisters. The whole family laughed and cried with joy.

Durand and Rodney's families also came from the territory and had been waiting for several days.

Lawrence smiled and said: "This is the perfect time to hold a celebration. You can stay one night before leaving."

"Yes." Durand and Rodney both had no objections and didn't want to leave today!

The Marquis of York and others were quickly rushed to live in a longhouse. More than thirty people lived in a longhouse.

After quieting down, the Marquise asked: "Were Talal and the others really let go?"

The Marquis of York said: "That's definitely the case. As long as they go back quickly, they can rescue us with the ransom!"

"These damn savages and this filthy place!"

The Marquess of York, frightened and angry, cowered in the presence of the savages, and soon became furious in the presence of his men.

"Those bastards! Lowly serfs, they led the barbarians to capture my city! I will kill them!"

The main force of the attack this time was barbarians, especially Lawrence's mercenaries.

But what the Marquis of York hates most is those people in the Water City.

These people led the savages to his manor, told the savages his location, and pointed out him hidden in the crowd.

"When I go back, I will kill all those untouchables!"

These Western nobles were starved all night. The barbarians were too busy celebrating to care about them. They just locked the door and went out to drink and eat meat.

Although the interior is very loose and chaotic, these weak Western nobles are packed in the house like lambs, just like the people from the City of Water who were once captured.

After all, savages really do kill.

Lawrence starved the men all night and sent them some pancakes the next morning.

In this era, food promotion is a bit far-fetched. Lawrence just thought it was fun and thought that if this was the case, they would remember this pancake for a lifetime.

In fact, it worked!

It can really be remembered for a lifetime!

After being scared and hungry for more than ten days and eating bread soaked in water for many days, being able to eat warm and soft pancakes brings a spontaneous feeling of happiness that is a hundred times better than bread. (End of chapter)
