Mountain and Forest Kingdom
Chapter 394 Valley of Fire
With the task instructions in hand, managers everywhere will know how they want to arrange their work.
Lawrence's job is to establish an effective defense mechanism. This mechanism does not rely on lighthouse trees, but mainly on people who are willing to report the news.
In addition to traveling to plant trees, Lawrence also conducts inspections in various areas to help locals find things to do as quickly as possible.
Lawrence took Sariel, Derren, Catherine, Emma, Lathander and others into the forest.
Behind him were more than ten Cloda people. Like Delen, these people had not been back to the valley for a long time. This time Lawrence came to take a look.
Most of the people rode Dom sheep, only Lawrence and Catherine rode Ornithosaurus.
This animal, which looks like a mixture of birds and lizards, is a unique creature found only in the south. New birds and lizards can be bred between males and females.
The bird-lizard is an egg-laying animal. The adult bird-lizard's head is two meters high, its back is 1.6 meters from the ground, and its body is more than two meters long.
The bird-lizard beast looks like a lizard bent over and standing up, but it has finger-long hair on its body, a bird-like mouth, and a tail with feathers and hooked claws on its tail.
Bird eggs are poisonous and cannot be eaten. They can lay two or three eggs at a time. They are much easier to raise than most cattle and sheep. They can eat millet and meat. They can eat anything that humans can eat. They cannot digest grass, but they like to eat poisonous grass. and leaves.
It is a bit fond of eating corpses and can smell the smell of corpses from a distance of several kilometers. It is also interested in meat, plants, and water that can poison other creatures.
If you see other animals and people being poisoned in front of your eyes, you will definitely have a taste.
The shortcomings are also obvious. In addition to low IQ and the inability to eat, they have poor endurance, slow movement speed, completely rely on human feeding, and lack the ability to survive in the wild.
There is currently no livestock that can replace horses. Dom sheep and reindeer are only suitable for small-scale activities and are not suitable for expeditions.
Snow dogs are much better than horses, especially after it snows in winter. These well-trained snow dogs are simply the most suitable god-level mounts for this area.
If you do not consider unifying the entire continent, but only occupy the entire Kingdom of Luofen and a little area in the west and south, the combination of Dom sheep, reindeer and snow dogs is enough now.
More than 10,000 people didn't need to think about so many things. Lawrence got off the bird-lizard beast and walked to stand in front of the boulder.
"Push this rock away."
Lawrence looked at the people behind him and issued the order.
Salil rolled up her sleeves and came over.
Lawrence looked at the woman calmly, "Let them come."
Under Sariel's puzzled gaze, Lawrence looked at the Cloda people.
"Push this rock away!"
Salil took the initiative and said: "They can't push it away, this stone is very heavy."
"If one doesn't work, then two, if two don't work, then ten!" Lawrence seemed to have forgotten that he couldn't push the boulder in the first place.
The Cloda man came over quickly.
"Yes, Prophet!"
These people also knew that the stone was very heavy. Five strong men stood on one side, and several others stood on the side to help with the force.
The stone was much lighter than expected, and the ten people quickly pushed the stone out without wasting much time.
Sofia looked at this scene in surprise.
"Has the stone become lighter?"
Salil glanced at Sophia curiously, and then looked at the big rock in front of her.
"How did you tell that the stone had become lighter?" Salil was curious about how Sophia could tell that the stone had become lighter. She didn't remember learning this kind of scientific knowledge and could see the change in weight at a glance.
Sophia looked at the big stone in confusion, "Salil and we had a hard time pushing it away before, but they pushed it away so easily."
Salil showed a look of astonishment, "The ten of them together can knock down even a big wild boar."
Sariel, whom Sophia thinks is a strong man, is actually a woman with great common sense and a high level of intelligence.
"That's right!" Sophia nodded, accepting this logical statement.
After the Cloda man pushed open the cave, he smelled a smell, so he moved away from the vent and stood to the side.
At this time, several Cloda people came out of the dark cave, their bodies exuding stench, their hair was knotted and covered with dirt, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
The four Cloda men who came out looked at the stranger outside, and then at the man in the distance wearing a furry brown bearskin hat with raven feathers standing on his shoulders.
Just when Delen was about to talk to these people, he saw a wild man raising an ax in his hand and throwing it at Lawrence.
Delen quickly reached for the weapon at his waist.
At this time, Sariel was talking to Sophia, saying how heavy the stone was.
Boom!
Lawrence knocked the ax to the ground with a strike of his sword.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Lawrence calmly inserted the long sword in his hand into the scabbard.
There was no need for Lawrence to take action anymore. Candice's sexy and concave body rushed into the four Clodaghs and killed three of them with a dagger in a few seconds.
Delen also used an ax to knock the Cloda man who had just attacked flying a meter and a half, and fell into the dark cave behind.
"Catch him and ask him what's going on." Lawrence frowned and looked at the Cloda man.
Lathander walked up to Lawrence, her expression equally stern, and she also didn't understand why these Clodar people were crazy.
Sariel looked at Lawrence, and then at the copper ax chopped off by Lawrence on the ground, "Lawrence, I was talking to Sophia just now. I didn't expect those people were also enemies."
Lawrence nodded, "I didn't expect that I would punish Sophia with snacks for a month if I don't blame you for what happened this time."
Sophia was the one in charge of security. Not only did she not report anyone in the cave this time, she also affected the attention of the others.
If Lawrence hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, and usually paid attention to guarding against hidden arrows and thrown objects, he would probably have been hit at this moment.
The person involved, Sophia, did not dare to have any objections. At this time, she said cautiously and aggrievedly: "Yes, Master."
Lawrence's strength is not weak, but he usually doesn't take risks unless he has to take action himself.
Fighting and fighting are only for profit, not for catharsis, and they usually don't take the initiative to prove their bravery.
Because it's not necessary.
As a prophet, Lawrence can intimidate a group of barbarians without showing off his force, so there is no need to be more barbaric, more brutal and powerful than them.
The identity of the prophet is already very scary. Under the subtle influence of the influence, many people take the initiative to kneel down when they meet, and even when speaking, they consciously regard themselves and the prophet as two different creatures.
In this case, Lawrence needs to show his approachable, kind and talkative side to win over people's hearts. Simply showing off violence and force is not advisable.
Combat effectiveness mainly depends on physical fitness, technical reactions, determination to kill, and weapons and equipment.
Lawrence is actually not lacking in these four aspects. It's true that he can't defeat a few berserkers, but he can't defeat just any barbarian.
Delen walked up to the attackers and asked in the language of the Cloda people: "Why did you attack us?"
"Traitor!" the attacker roared: "You abandoned us! Damn traitors! You and the Crow Demon deserve to die!"
Lathander came over and looked at these tribal pariahs with a gloomy face.
"I left the land to you lowly pariahs, and you forgot this favor! And you attacked my children!"
"Go underground and atone for your sins!" Lathander did not give this man any time to continue living.
The man didn't recognize Lathander at first. The former Lathander was much older, but the current Lathander looked very different.
Lathander faced the man directly with one hand, and soon the man's hair and body radiated heat, and then flames filled his body!
Under the burning of the flames, the man quickly turned into a dead corpse, and he also recognized the former prophet of the tribe.
Delen looked at the several Cloda people around him, "Why don't you tell me what happened in the tribe?!"
The nearby Cloda people were also very wronged.
"Chief, we haven't been back for several years and don't know what's going on here."
Delen frowned, she also hadn't been back for a long time.
Lathander standing aside looked the same, having not paid attention to tribal affairs in the past few years.
Soon Delen told Lawrence what had happened, and everyone held torches and carefully entered the smelly cave filled with feces and food waste.
There are not many Cloda left in the valley, and they all look extremely unhealthy.
Lawrence quickly understood the situation here.
In the past, the Cloda people were divided into three classes.
The top one is the warrior,
middle craftsman
Lower class slaves giving birth
After the upper and middle classes went out to join Lawrence's side, the valley became a paradise for the lower classes.
After there are fewer people here, people here can eat whatever they want. There is too much food on the trees, on the ground, and in the water to eat. They can also live in the good houses of those who left and use the things they did not take away.
Without restraints and trapped in the valley without pressure, the slaves quickly went crazy.
After the new class was formed, these people did not replace the original Cloda people because there was a lack of craftsmen and no one to engage in technology. Instead, they continued to mess around with men and women because they had no worries about food and drink.
Originally, there were many deformed children here, and the new class after losing the original ruler was based on those close to them, which caused problems in the circle of dozens of people.
A few dozen people turned into a dozen, then a few.
After discovering human bones in the food bonfire here, Lawrence and others quickly cleaned up the last few living people.
After cleaning the door, Lathander looked at this dilapidated and dirty place, not wanting to stay for a second longer.
"This place is full of feces and excrement, and it is full of filth and filth. You go first, and I will burn this place down!"
Lawrence quickly put an end to this barbaric behavior.
"I still have use here. I will arrange for a group of people to plant here in the future. Let's go now."
Lathander didn't know what Lawrence was going to plant, but it didn't matter.
Everyone soon passed by the cave that was full of stench and feces. After walking out, the witches were finally able to breathe normally.
Delenn looked at Lawrence and had a question he had had for years.
"Lawrence, as long as there is a close relationship, will there be that kind of weird stupid thing?"
Lawrence mounted the bird-lizard beast and walked towards the busy manor while answering everyone's questions.
"For a small number of people, the chance of giving birth to a sick child is not high. There may be one, two, two, three, or one, or five out of five children."
"Things like odds rely on gambling. No one can say 100%."
"But I know very well that we will have many people in the future, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even more."
"If there are one million children in ten million, and there are hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled children in one million children, then the entire country will be in crisis."
Lawrence banned incest marriage from the beginning. Just because a couple has no problems does not mean that the rest of the family will not have problems either.
If something goes wrong on a large scale, it will be like a tumor growing on a person's face. If it is cut out, there will be severe pain. If it is not cut out, it will be death.
Nowadays, every couple will check their blood relationship when they get married, and after the ban on close relatives marrying, people from anywhere will no longer be so resistant to people from other places.
However, the Cloda people in the valley are not entirely due to this problem. The main reason is that they do not have basic construction capabilities. After the wise men and technical personnel in the tribe left, excessive freedom led to chaos and destruction.
In order to rule the rest of the people, to weaken the influence of Lathander and others, and to strengthen the legitimacy of their own rule, those who remained had no problem describing Delenn and others as traitors and themselves as demons.
This incident also made Lawrence pay attention to his own rule. If a place loses control for a long time, it will inevitably resist its own authority.
The territory is too big to manage, and my current territory far exceeds the manageable area.
The best solution at present is not to occupy Telandatho City, but to absorb the population of Telandatho City.
Such a weak Tran Great Hoof can serve as a buffer zone in the middle to prevent direct collision with the Southern Kingdom and the Church.
Otherwise, after occupying Telandatho City, it would directly border the south. As the population increases, the defensive area will also increase exponentially.
But Feiyu Port also needs defense. After the battle line is stretched, he can't defend it at all.
At present, there are only one or two thousand soldiers available to fight, and the total population is less than 20,000. It is better to develop and have children honestly.
You can go to war if you want. Anyway, just continue to attack Telandaho City and maintain a certain degree of force deterrence, but you don't need to occupy it all.
Those who want to fight are just loud. In fact, there are not many people. At present, there are still many women and children here.
After returning to the manor, Lawrence began to arrange for some people who were elderly or injured in the war and could not continue to build houses in the Valley of Fire.
The task of these people is to grow saltpeter!
Sulfur and charcoal are not difficult to obtain, and you can get a lot from the nearby mountains. For saltpeter, you can only rely on traditional methods to cultivate it.
Simulate the toilet environment, and then build walls near the cesspit. The valley climate here is very suitable for growing nitrate. (End of chapter)
