Mountain and Forest Kingdom

In Oak City, Sariel walked from the sunny place to Lawrence who was resting under a big tree.

"Lawrence, what to do with the captured slaves?"

Lawrence was writing down various plans before winter, and raised his head to look at Salil, who was wearing a straw hat.

"First let them harvest wheat, and give them sickles to harvest wheat in the fields. The good ones will be given food, and those who don't work will not be fed. Those who run away will be ignored, and those who cause trouble will be killed."

"Okay." After saying that, Salil came over, stood next to Lawrence and looked at Lawrence's cardboard curiously, a little curious about what was written on it.

Today is a rare good day, and Lawrence doesn't want to see Salil busy and running around.

"I have already told Fleiss and the others about the slave arrangements. You don't have to worry about it. If nothing happens, you can ask the carpenter to make some beautiful furniture to store all kinds of beautiful clothes and hats."

Salil happily raised her hands and touched the straw hat she knitted. She was very happy that Lawrence was still so good at talking.

"Lawrence, you make furniture, you do it beautifully!"

Lawrence's carpentry work is indeed good, much better than farming and fighting.

I know the technology when it comes to farming, but I don’t actually have much hands-on experience.

In the early stage, Andrew and Salil farmed the land, in the early stage it was Seravan and the slaves who farmed, and later it was the Durila and Pumishiu people, and then it was Kharan who led a group of people to plant potatoes, wheat, rice and other crops.

Earlier, I had also farmed in Telandaho City. In fact, my brain is better than my hands and feet, which means I am not very good at it.

In terms of combat, he is completely inferior compared to Sariel and a group of fierce men. He has accurately found his position a long time ago and does not blindly pursue personal strength.

Interior: A

Fight/Defense/Escape: A-/A+/SSS (mounted)

Knowledge: SSS

Wisdom: A+

Personal/Leadership Charisma: A/SS

Because he clearly knows what talents he has, Lawrence prefers to give direction and supervise and provide opinions rather than doing it himself.

In the early days, there was no way but to do it yourself. Now that there are more people and more skilled craftsmen, time should be spent on key areas.

"It takes more than half a month to make a piece of furniture. It will take a month or two to paint and add textures. If I have nothing to do during the night, I can help you make a makeup box."

Lawrence looked at Salil and said with a smile: "As for the wardrobe, tables, chairs, benches, lamps and pillars, wooden boxes and basin shelves, etc., just ask a carpenter to do it."

Salil nodded, and suddenly understood what Lawrence meant.

"Yes, I feel like we need a lot of furniture. Now our house is too empty and we need to fill it up quickly!"

After saying that, Salil ran out without saying hello and went directly to do her own thing.

Lawrence turned to look at the mottled shadows under the big oak tree. In the shade of the trees where only a little sunlight could fall, a beautiful girl with blond hair slept peacefully, just like Sleeping Beauty, with her hands on her belly.

Lawrence suddenly became curious about something strange.

Both Khallan and Lathander were very quiet when sleeping.

It would be wrong if they were pure-blood witches. Half-blood witches like Delenn and Sophia were also very quiet when sleeping.

The same goes for Catherine, who seems to sleep in the same position until she wakes up.

Lawrence was not in a hurry about winter plans, and spent his free time thinking about the witch's sleeping posture.

We have lived together for more than five years, and I have never thought about this matter carefully before.

Just like a blind spot in thinking, even if some things have happened countless times in front of you, you can't realize it after seeing it.

Until one day, after watching it hundreds or thousands of times, I suddenly became curious and doubtful.

"Why is this? Is it because Sariel's bloodline is relatively thin?"

"That's not right either. Salil is half-blood, and Delenn and Sophia are also half-blood."

"It's not right to speak of Berserker blood. Delenn is also of Berserker blood."

At this time, Lawrence saw Kohalan carrying a flower basket from the medicine field to the wooden house. Behind him were Clara and Clara's black-skinned half-elf grandmother Yulia.

"Khalan! Come here."

Kohalan heard Lawrence's call and walked over.

The grandfather and grandson behind him also followed.

"Master." Julia and Clara bowed to Lawrence.

Today, Kahalan is wearing a large gray one-piece dress, with a white silk scarf on her head and a white veil on her face.

At first, Kehalan was not used to wearing clothes. Later, he felt that wearing clothes was beautiful. He gradually got used to the feel of wearing clothes and was not as resistant as he was at the beginning.

The function of the veil is to block the smell. There is a lot of Kharan ripened wood nearby, and the smell of these woods will take a long time to dissipate.

Khalan's witchcraft can only make plants wither and age, but cannot directly decompose wood.

Lawrence looked at Kehalan and directly expressed his doubts.

"Khalan, are witches sleeping any differently than ordinary people?"

Kehalan sat directly on the grass and said with a smile: "What do you want to ask?"

Lawrence made the question in his mind more specific.

"It's not something important, but I suddenly want to know if all witches are as quiet and motionless as you when they sleep."

Kohalan, who had never thought about this question before, thought about it for a moment.

"I haven't paid attention to this problem, and the other wizards probably haven't either. We usually don't think about this when we sleep and wake up."

Kehalan is quite smart, and she also knows who the only person who is dishonest in sleeping and always complains about others pressing her hair.

"I think Sariel is related to her bloodline."

After hearing this, Lawrence thought about what was special about Sariel's bloodline.

Kharan explained: "Sariel's mother should be a sea tribe. When a sea tribe sleeps, water waves will push around them, and their bodies will sway with the sea water."

"I don't think Salil likes to move around when sleeping. It's because there is no slight stimulation from the outside world, so she moves around when she feels uncomfortable."

"If it sways slightly like a swing, she might be more secure when sleeping."

Lawrence thought about Salil's behavior, and recalled Salil's behavior on the sea and on the ship.

These memories seemed to be blank, and Lawrence quickly sighed.

"When I was at sea, I was either busy determining the location or busy fighting. I didn't pay attention to Sariel's performance at sea. She seemed to not move when she was sleeping at sea."

Lawrence quickly gave up the investigation and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I like to toss and turn when sleeping, so don't worry about this matter."

Salil's mother is indeed a sea witch, but this kind of thing is irrelevant. Lawrence doesn't care who Salil's mother is, nor does he care who Khalan's father, mother, and grandparents are.

Now it is enough to know that Salil has the blood of the Sea Clan. If there is anything that needs attention in life in the future, you can pay attention to it in advance.

Sofia, who was taking a nap next to her, sat up with one hand on the ground, then rubbed her eyes, yawned, and looked around suspiciously.

"Master, when I was sleeping, I felt that there were many things in that direction. They should be many, many iron stones."

Sofia pointed to the location deep in the Agama Mountains to the west.

Lawrence touched Sophia's head and said, "Let's talk about it later. The iron ore on the mountainside can still be used for a long time now. Let's go inside."

"Yes, Master." Sophia quickly stood up and patted the grass blades on her butt, "I just felt like Salil was coming over."

"Yeah." Lawrence looked into the distance. A big black dog that looked like a giant wolf ran quickly from a distance, and arrived in front of Lawrence from the ring building in a few seconds.

"Woo~" Gale Dog quickly sat down in front of Lawrence, wagging his tail excitedly.

Lawrence stood up and touched Gale's dog's head, reached out and took down the small wooden bucket hanging from Gale's neck, and poured out the paper roll inside.

Kehalan stood up and asked: "What happened at the foot of the mountain? Are the prisoners making trouble?"

"It's not about the prisoners, it's about Kassandra asking us about the situation here. There was a large troop buildup in Norrison in the south more than half a month ago."

Lawrence quickly handed the scroll to Kehalan, and looked towards the south.

"There should be a barbarian army of 5,000 people in Telandata City. It's just that this naval battle was too painful for us, so we don't dare to bring all the troops up for the time being."

Sofia smiled and said: "I feel that this naval battle was very easy. It was not our turn to take action."

Lawrence was very speechless. Sophia felt that she was simply hiding behind him. If she were to go to the front row, she would know how intense the battle was.

Not only the battle on the Reese, but also the Western reinforcements and large-scale legion battles exerted strong combat effectiveness, as well as various weapons and equipment and the morale bonus of the prophet commander. Various reasons led to the outcome of this naval battle. Extraordinarily violent.

The battles on the other ships were worse than those on the Reese, but they were all killing ship after ship. Before Lawrence was sure that the battle was over, there was no chance for any intruder to survive.

"To judge whether a battle is fierce or not, you can tell whether their commander is dead or not."

Lawrence gave a very simple standard, "This time, all the noble commanders and knights in Telanthoof City will be wiped out. Except for the fast ones, the rest will be wiped out. You can replace them with us and think about it again."

Sofia said with a smile: "No matter how you think about it, it is very easy. We won and they lost!"

For Telanda City, this time it was an extremely brutal defeat, and it turned from an advantage into a disadvantage.

Not only were a large number of raiding veterans dead, but there were also not many key ships left.

The southern kingdoms that the Luofen Kingdom could defeat were retreating steadily, mainly relying on mobility and the elusive fast boats to attack the southern rivers and coastal areas.

Now the ships have been smashed and burned, and the Wild Boar Legion is not good at long-distance conquests.

Without the mobility of ships and horses, the food needed for the legion's expedition would have to be snatched all the way. The more people, the more troublesome it would be.

flexibility……

"We should raise more deer and dogs to pull carts, so that every winter will become our minions and become real ice messengers."

The unique geographical environment of the north determines the offensive advantage in winter.

In winter, you can go west along the glacier, or you can rely on the ice and snow to quickly go south, taking advantage of the sugar and fat in fur and spirits to double your combat effectiveness.

Lawrence quickly gave the Snow Cave Man food and asked the Snow Cave Man to raise dogs for him on the Glacier Continent.

Tran Daho City is different from the Western Kingdom. If you want these people to surrender, you must fight harder!

"Haifeng, let's go, I'll take you to dinner!" Lawrence quickly rewarded the good dog in front of him who could only deliver messages.

After Lawrence left, Hayate quickly followed, wagging his tail beside Lawrence.

"Master, wait for me!" Sophia quickly picked up the pillow on the floor and followed.

Kehalan also went over with two apprentices. Clara followed the people in front with an expectant look on her face, thinking about what to eat later.

Four-year-old Clara thinks about eating all day long, and she still can't change her habit of stuffing her mouth with good food when she sees it.

But compared to the beginning when I had to stuff everything into my mouth, it's much better now.

Being able to eat, drink and sleep well here is much better than outside. Clara has already regarded this place as her home, and within half a year she forgot about her original hometown.

Children are like this, and so are adults. Neither Kojako nor the people in the Wave Kingdom want to go back to be slaves, they just want to be slaves here.

Lawrence began to find something for the young people to do, training dog cavalry!

One person drives the dog cart and two do the throwing.

Take advantage of the ice, snow and equipment to bleed the city of Telland in the cold winter.

The dog’s advantage is not the biggest, but the biggest advantage is actually the humble woolen boots.

Lawrence can make all his soldiers wear fur coats and woolen boots. Not to mention woolen boots, even fur coats and hats cannot be guaranteed in Telandaho City.

People there either hide in their houses in the winter, or wrap a small piece of sheepskin around their feet with a rope and stuff some wool inside to be considered rich.

These shoes can't run fast at all, let alone chase people in the middle of winter.

Although those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, those who wear shoes will definitely run faster in winter.

Now Lawrence is the representative of the ice barbarians in the north. The southern nobles of Pig Trotter City and Luofen Kingdom are used to a good life, so let them experience the horror of the barbarians going south! !
