Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Spring has not yet arrived in the north, and winter has subsided here in Feiyu Port.

Lawrence found that the streams and rivers here only had a freezing period of thirty days. Combined with the downhill road along the way, he determined that the altitude and dimensions here were lower.

"Our actual location here should be in the southwest of the manor, further south than in the north."

"The lower the dimension, the longer the daylight hours and the earlier the sun appears."

"The conditions here are much better than those in the north!"

The closer you get to the west, or the further inland, the more comfortable the temperatures will be.

The light conditions and water environment here, coupled with the land that has not been properly developed for a long time, make Lawrence feel like he has entered a treasure kingdom!

Spacious coastline! A harbor to escape the waves! Mountains that block storms and water vapor! Streams and rivers! Flat ground! forest! Warm climate! abundant natural resources!

This is the true God-given land!

The more Lawrence learned about how fertile the land was, the more he wanted to move people there.

What else do you want to do in that bitter cold place in the north? Come quickly and enjoy the good times! !

"No! Calm down!"

Lawrence calmed down quickly. There was no specific image in his mind, but there was a person's name warning: Luofen III!

"Lofen III must have had the same idea as me after he fought from the north to the southern kingdom Norison."

"When you leave the bitter cold land and see the climate, environment and heritage of the Southern Kingdom, you will move and settle down immediately, right?"

"So he died."

Lawrence learned his lesson, and after careful consideration he realized that he could not move at the moment.

The Ice Sea and the North are the foundation. Before the strength and number of people here are higher than that there, moving is extremely dangerous.

First of all, not everyone is willing to move, even if it is better outside than their own home, many people are not willing.

Some people are willing to venture out and some want to stay where they are.

When there are more people, there will be different opinions. It is possible to enforce the forced relocation by yourself, but you must also consider the issue of the fundamentals.

Who will guard the northern border?

If you give up in the manor, you will give up. If you give up in Oak City, a few witches will not be willing.

Once he moves everyone to the west, someone will soon replace him and become the king of the north.

The Sidel people, the Vakiri people, as well as the barbarians and Western nobles who have always coveted the land given by the gods.

I have always said that the northern border is a land given by God. If I give up rashly, it will shake the entire belief system.

For a long time, he had to sit in the north.

Continue to cultivate elite warriors, continue to improve science and technology in that severe cold environment, and continue to become a bridge between the West, the South, and even the East in the future.

Although the original plan was just to find a place to spend the rest of my life and live a good life comfortably, but now even if everything is achieved, I still have to keep going.

You don’t need to work as hard as before, you just need to persist and not retreat, and have a goal.

After things settle down here, we have to go back and take charge of the overall situation.

In terms of religion, we can learn from the Morning Church system of this period. For example, the pope appointed trusted bishops to patrol various monasteries regularly, inspect the financial and personnel conditions, and listen to reports and suggestions from nuns and priests.

Oak City can be regarded as a castle, and the church in Pumixiu Town can be regarded as a pilgrimage site. After any member of the Church of the Stars is treated unfairly, he can go to Pumixiu Town to seek help from the church staff there.

This can solve most of the pressures of this era and prevent sudden assassinations.

The land of ice has its purpose.

If it were really a fertile land where you could get a good harvest just by sowing seeds, where you could catch endless fish in the water, where the fruits on the ground were ripe all year round, where the weather was so warm that you didn’t need to wear clothes, and where there were no enemies at all, then you would be wrong. It develops much slower.

If you can live well alone, you will not rely on the collective, and you will resist integration and the orders of others.

If you can't fight, you can't hide?

The harsh environment of the Ice Land determines the difficulty of unification and war mobilization. People here will die if they don't integrate, and they will die if they don't go south. If they don't work, they won't survive to adulthood.

Lawrence was very fortunate to have a Lofen III who provided constructive advice.

Otherwise, even if you have the cognition and memory of your previous life, after suddenly occupying such a fertile land, you will basically slowly move your base and rely on your own powerful force to gain a foothold here and enjoy a good life.

Luofen III's personal experience made Lawrence realize the difficulty of cultural integration and the price that any integration requires! !

Friction, cost, and generational hatred.

Even Lawrence invaded the West many times, forcing others to cede territory and seek peace.

This is an undeniable fact. Even though he was praised by others as a generous prophet and a benevolent prophet, Lawrence did not forget what he had done to this land.

After all, he had killed the noble lord of the blond Mercia, so Lawrence remained wary of the Kojako Kingdom and surrounding countries.

"I shouldn't stay away from the Ice Land until the fundamentals are stable."

"At least until the next generation grows up, until my civilization and followers are spread across various kingdoms."

"There are thousands of monasteries in the Western Kingdom. If I stay here all the time, it won't be surprising to be assassinated by a few lunatics."

Lawrence decided to go back to the Ice Land to take charge of things there. Andrew would not be back for at least a month. If he went back now, he could return to the manor in one day relying on the glacier road that had not completely melted.

The next time I come here, it only takes two or three days to use the boat, which is totally timely.

The matter of cultivating farmland requires professional guidance. Lawrence plans to go back and bring some of the Durila people who joined early, and also bring back some clothing and food.

The Durila people have rich experience in land reclamation, and the soil here is more suitable for farming than in the mountains. It is more efficient to have this group of agricultural personnel join than to sit here alone.

They also brought some farm tools and weapons, as well as some livestock.

The treatment in Feiyu Port cannot be better than that in the Land of Ice. It only needs to be a little higher than the local standard. It does not need to be on par with the Land of Ice.

This year the southern caravan is about to arrive, and this kind of thing needs to be done personally.

Also, most of the men were transferred from the territory this time. There are no problems in the territory in the winter, but there are many things in the spring. It will be safer to go back and take charge at this time.

"Alikmu, I want to go back to Pumixiu Town to preside over the church affairs. I will leave this place to your care for the time being. In six or seven days, a man named Seravan will come with the Durila people."

"When the time comes, he will manage various things here. You tell him what needs to be done here, and then take a boat from there along the sea to Dumu Port."

Alekmu had been getting along with Lawrence for half a month, and he had a rough feel for the prophet's behavior.

Unlike the nobles he had seen before, and unlike the priests and bishops of those churches, this Crowfeather Prophet liked to use military means to manage his territory.

The requirements for those slaves are like soldiers, constantly arranging various tasks and asking them to complete them.

Whether it is to quickly group and expand the team, or to go in groups to cultivate farmland, go on expeditions, or negotiate with the outside world.

What Alekmu saw was a tyrant ruler with an extremely severe military style.

Alekmu is not surprised, because the Crow Feather Prophet in front of him is the new barbarian king.

"As you command, Lord Lord." Alekmu obeyed the arrangement of the barbarian king.

Lawrence quickly led some people to leave Feiyu Port, most of them set off by sea and land, while Lawrence led the team back to the manor from the glacier area.

The water in the glacier has begun to melt, and you can see some ice cubes and snow water coming down from the upper reaches.

Lawrence and others carefully walked up the icy river bed. After walking a few hundred meters, they decisively returned. They gave up the idea of ​​returning from the glacier and honestly set out by sea.

Several people went back in a dhow and sailed for four days before reaching Dumu Port.

It was still winter in Dumu Port, and the howling north wind and whistling snowflakes made Lawrence and others feel like they were in another world.

Spring has begun in the Western Kingdoms, but winter has not yet passed in the North. (End of chapter)
