Mountain and Forest Kingdom

"Master, Count Valkyrie promised alliance and trade."

Fleiss came to the manor and reported the results of the outing.

Delen asked curiously: "He simply agreed?"

Lawrence has long thought about this kind of thing, "He will either fight with us or accept our kindness."

"Tran Big Hoof City won't help him. I've joined forces with Earl Sider here. It's the wisest choice for him to join us."

Salil reminded: "But you killed his daughter, the last daughter!"

"You can't think about him from your perspective." Lawrence explained: "He is not Andrew, and he is not me. This person is not the kind of person who values ​​family. He is a cold-blooded ruler."

"Even among ordinary people, after their husbands are killed, and their wives and children are robbed, how many of them are willing to seek revenge at all costs, with the thought of dying together?"

Salil frowned, unable to understand, but feeling that this kind of thing might be really common.

The count's compromise was very normal. First of all, he didn't have the strength to win here.

When there were only a few hundred people in Lawrence, the Valkyries did not dare to come. Now there are more than a thousand people here, and they are getting stronger and stronger. However, due to the suppression of the Count, the Valkyries are becoming less and less strong.

Delen looked at Lawrence, "Did you already know that he would choose this way?"

Lawrence said naturally: "Isn't this an obvious thing? How long has his daughter been dead? Do you see any movement in him?"

This time everyone understood.

"I remember that I captured slaves from Kuhl Village before, sent them back to Kuhl Village, and arranged for a few people to clean up the house."

Lawrence looked at the silent Reglo, "Reglo, you lead ten people there to provide protection, and by the way establish contact with the former Valkyries, the count will not touch you now."

Reglo said respectfully: "Yes, Master."

Lawrence was about to arrange other things when Reglo suddenly said: "Master, Count Valkyrie's wife Olaua knows how to read. She is now Valkyrie's heir."

Lawrence nodded, "I know this, don't worry about it for the time being. For now, we just need to establish trade relations with there. The main thing is to establish a camp in Kuhl Village as soon as possible."

Delen asked: "Aren't all Valkyrie's heirs killed?"

Lawrence explained: "The wife also belongs to the heir. If the earl dies now, then Valkyrie's heir will be his wife."

"According to the rules of the kingdom, as long as this woman can pay taxes and serve in the army, she has the legal right to inherit."

"If she wants to control the territory, she needs to pay enough taxes to the king. If she wants to get enough money, she needs someone to work for her, so she will most likely hook up with the knights below. This is why the earl wants to kill the knights. one."

"We don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Whether it is the earl or his woman who is the earl, they will cooperate with us. Our contact with that woman now will only make the earl more wary of us."

"For me, it would be more suitable for a Valkyrie to be headed by a count than a woman whose true identity is unclear. What I need is a complete Valkyrie."

Valkyrie advocates violence, and if a woman takes over there, it will only lead to endless fighting and fail to convince the crowd.

Although either one is beneficial to this side, it is better to be more stable for now.

Reglo understood Lawrence's arrangement, and quickly went down the mountain with Fleiss and others to arrange things.

After Reglo and others left, Lawrence said to several witches: "Kul Village is too far away from us. We must become stronger as soon as possible. First, we must establish a stable weapons production workshop and develop a stable food logistics base."

"This place on the mountain is not easily attacked and can be used as a vegetable and fruit processing base."

Sariel asked: "Where is the castle?"

Lawrence responded seriously: "The castle will wait for a while. Building a castle near the big oak tree will destroy the landscape there. We can build a large wooden villa, and then when other witches join in, we will slowly expand it."

Luosanda said: "This is the right thing to do. Let's build a wooden house first next year."

Because they have never lived in a castle, several witches who have lived in a wooden villa think that the wooden villa is better, especially Delenn and Lathander.

Sariel has also never lived in a castle, but she only heard some things about the castle from Sophia and Kharan.

Lawrence actually wanted to make gunpowder more than he wanted to build a log cabin.

It would be great if there was sugar, but unfortunately this is a cold zone and sugar cane cannot be found.

Therefore, we must fight to the south and occupy land with richer resources, otherwise a group of people will die in this poor place sooner or later.

If we go south, we will not attack the land of Earl Sidel and the Kingdom of Luofen, but civilize the population in some forest areas in the south, and then rule the border of the Kingdom of Luofen along the river.

While the Luofen Kingdom is still in chaos, hurry up and strengthen yourself.

The prerequisite for doing business is to have your own military strength to rely on, otherwise you will be a fat sheep.

Now, regardless of whether the Luofen Kingdom attacks the Western Kingdom or not, many nobles of the Western Kingdom will spread the wealth here and let more Western nobles pay attention to their place.

Some of them will come here to do business, while others will want to rob.

Everyone is a barbarian!

Legal principles rely on fists!

Lawrence was thinking about things even as he slept.

You can't get gunpowder in this shitty place, but a trebuchet should be fine.

In fact, there is also a very simple way, which is to erect a giant statue on the shore and wait for others to push it down when they approach, killing dozens of people at once.

Should we build another Colossus?

Lawrence thought about it and found that the Colossus was the most cost-effective.

As long as this thing stands on the beach, it can exert excellent power.

Especially since the establishment of Wonder One, it has really made a lot of achievements.

Without Wonder One, there might have been several more battles in the territory.

It was useless to think so much, Lawrence quickly decided to try a fight.

After it snows, explore down the river, take the people in the camp out to exercise, and expand the land more suitable for life.

Lawrence began to look forward to the snow and settled some matters in the territory.

At the intersection of Pumexiu Town, Lawrence saw off Beow.

Standing with Beauf were the people who had gone to Tlandahoe City before. These people traveled back and forth between the two places many times.

"Beow, when you pass through Earl Sder's territory, give him the gift I gave him, some spices and wine, and tell him at the same time that I need some people to help me deal with the beasts downstream of the river."

"If there are young people or knights who have nothing to do, they can send them to me to practice. I welcome those noble children to come and practice."

"After you arrive at Telandaho City, you also convey my goodwill to Telandaho City, and also send a message for me to the owner of the Golden Oak Bakery in the city, tell him about my situation here, and ask him if he is willing to come and open a bakery. bakery."

"Also, I'll write down a few addresses, and you can ask these people if they'd like to come over."

Lawrence knew a lot of people in Telandaho City, and they were all people who were good at farming or craftsmanship, but a lot of them must have died in the past five years.

Beof carefully remembered Lawrence's commission, and soon led the team to leave the town of Pumexiu and began a long journey.

Lawrence still had very few people. He contacted the bakery not because of Helen. In fact, Sophia was much prettier than Helen.

This time, the main purpose is to absorb the old tribes of the Southern Kingdom and absorb Sophia's tribe.

Of course it's good if it works, but if it doesn't work, there's no need to contact him in the future. These people are used to a peaceful life and don't want to be disturbed.

Lawrence turned to Andrew and said: "Everyone, get ready. I plan to train the young people here, and in a few days I will take you to the lower reaches to find tribes that do not belong to us to conquer."

After Andrew heard this, he said strangely: "Since we want to practice, why don't we go to the West to practice?"

Lawrence felt very strange, "It's winter, and it's very risky to go out at this time."

"The bigger the wind and waves, the more exciting the battle will be!" Andrew said with a smile: "We will go directly with the wind, grab it and come back!"

Lawrence originally thought that winter was not suitable for robbery, and he was already very industrious with two crops a year.

But Andrew's suggestion made Lawrence discover that he could actually go out in winter.

In winter, there is a northwest wind here, and the sea is relatively calm in winter. The only problem is that it will be very, very, very cold on the boat! ! !

To the Northerners, especially the Valkyrie, this was nothing.

After all, they are extremely talented ice warriors. These people are actually very good at fighting in the snow, especially naval battles in winter.

In winter, even if the temperature is a few degrees above zero in the West, a group of poor people in thin clothes and knights in iron armor will have their hands trembling with cold.

Westerners who have never experienced hardship will be more vulnerable to pirates in winter than in spring, summer and autumn.

"Okay!" Lawrence quickly made up his mind, "Send someone to inform the Valkyries and Earl Sider and ask them if they dare to go out with us to make a fortune! Damn it!!"

Fleiss, Andrew and others quickly became excited.

"Fuck me!!!"

"kill!!"

Lawrence clenched his fists and made a big fucking circle. It turned out that the most fucking correct path was still the same one!

What a ghost!

Dry! Three crops a year!
