Mountain and Forest Kingdom

After seven days of farming, Lawrence felt much stronger.

Is it my imagination?

Standing in the field, Lawrence thought it might be his own psychology, but he had nothing to do, so he decided to try it casually.

It's still a bit chilly in the fields at the foot of the mountain, especially when the sun is blocked by clouds, and the temperature still stays at six or seven degrees.

The wasteland that was originally a grassland has been turned into rotten land. Crops will not be planted on this land this year. Some sisal seeds will be planted first to check the soil quality. Next year, large fields will be reclaimed and then planted in large areas.

Lawrence walked across the fields where he had been working all week, his boots crunching over the hardened clods of earth.

As he walked, Lawrence found that his steps were stronger than before.

Trampling on things is a heavy job. Some people can trample the floor to pieces, while some people can't even trample a carrot.

It was impossible to judge the exact strength by stepping on something, so Lawrence thought about how to judge his own strength.

Lawrence soon found a suitable reference.

"I remember that I could throw a hoe up to thirty meters away. This was several years ago. I don't know if I have improved now."

"There should be progress."

Lawrence quickly lowered his head and looked at the 1.7-meter-long hoe in his hand.

As soon as he thought of it, Lawrence held the two ends of the hoe with both hands and broke the three-centimetre-thick wooden stick with both hands.

Click!

Lawrence changed the long hoe into a short hoe, and now the hoe has become an eighty-centimeter-long short hoe for picking herbs and a wooden stick.

Throwing the short wooden stick on the ground, Lawrence moved his waist to prevent it from twisting due to excessive strength.

After moving his arms, waist, neck, ankles, and wrists, Lawrence looked at a hare fifty meters ahead.

Spring is a time when rabbits are active, especially after the local birds of prey have been killed by humans, the number of rabbits and squirrels has increased a lot.

Lawrence locked the target, raised the hoe behind him with one hand, and then threw it away.

The hoe shot forward along a straight track, and the time of dozens of meters flew by.

Boom!

The hoe hit the ground in the distance, making a dull sound.

The rabbit not far away swooped away and disappeared quickly.

Lawrence was not disappointed, and walked slowly step by step, measuring the distance of this road.

"Sariel and Delen must have been practicing throwing axes since they were young. I can achieve this kind of accuracy by practicing diligently. I have to let my body become familiar with the feeling, just like a sharpshooter or an archer. Sometimes feeling is greater than experience. .”

"Forty-six meters."

Lawrence quickly bent down and picked up the hoe, very satisfied with the result.

"I should be a young adult now, and my physical fitness is much better than two or three years ago. With exercise, my strength and accuracy will improve a lot."

"Is it because of exercise and physical growth, or is it something else?"

Lawrence smiled, "No matter what it is, I am willing to believe that it is a good thing."

After picking up the hoe, Lawrence went back and picked up the spare hoe to continue working on the farm.

A long time ago, I had the belief to become stronger, but later I found that everyone relied more on their own wisdom, which delayed the exercise.

There was no need to work hard when there were Andrew and Salil, and there was no need to work hard after Drenkharan joined, and then became a prophet, and gradually became fixed in the framework of the prophet.

Even the biggest motivation to become stronger (Shangdelun) was inexplicably achieved, resulting in no sense of accomplishment at all.

Lawrence worked hard to vent his strength on this land, and his belief in becoming stronger became stronger and stronger!

Returning home in the afternoon, Lawrence retested his strength.

A piece of wood weighing 200 kilograms can be carried on the shoulder for more than ten meters.

After setting down the construction log, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally reached the average level of barbarians."

Lawrence, whose confidence suddenly increased, decided to challenge his cowardice, and thought with a solemn and arrogant look: "Maybe I can challenge Delenn?"

"Forget it, train for another half month, challenge Salil in half a month, and challenge Delen in a month."

"The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the shortage must be opened step by step."

Lawrence set a small goal for himself, starting with challenging the women around him.

After returning home, Lawrence could only think about the fight.

Delen only has strength and beast-like instincts, not much skill. In this era, most fights rely on strength and size.

If a real battlefield killing technique can be found, it should be effective against barbarians.

In addition to usually using axes and knives to chop, it is normal for weapons to fall off sometimes. Fists and arms are sometimes better than weapons.

Lawrence sat on the sofa thinking about things, and Emma brought tea.

"Master, please have some tea." Emma put the tea on the table and stood next to Lawrence.

Lawrence nodded and continued to sit there thinking about things.

Emma said at this time: "Master, there is news from Feiyu Port. The people we sent to En'er Village were attacked by the Kingdom of Gran just a few days after they were stationed there."

"Yeah." Lawrence nodded, and then turned his mind from exercise to church.

Emma continued: "We were attacked by more than 2,000 naval soldiers, but they were defeated by the 1,000 men we sent. Later, reinforcements from the Hokuriku Kingdom and Haisenli arrived in time. We suffered more than 30 casualties and captured Four hundred men and twenty boats killed more than a thousand people.”

Lawrence frowned.

The Church of Dawn is really brave, and the Kingdom of Gran is also very tough, and they really dare to fight.

Calculating the time, it was almost his own side that defeated their subordinates in the Durila Kingdom. They declared war within a few days after receiving the news.

When it comes to fighting, they also know that their own troops are stationed at En'er Port. Once they find out, they immediately organize people to sneak attack the Star Army that has not yet gained a foothold.

Then he was beaten to a bloody head by the Star Legion, which far exceeded the average quality of soldiers in this era.

Not to mention anything else, a heavyweight ship like the Oak would crush the small merchant ships of this era.

"I probably understand the problem here."

Lawrence sighed. The leader of the Church of Dawn and the Kingdom of Glen made his previous efforts to appease the aristocratic international students of the Kingdom of Glen seem as self-centered as a clown.

What's the problem? Probably because I regarded them as a feudal country and regarded their lower-level businessmen as businessmen in the late stage of feudalism.

In fact, those businessmen now are a group of weak people who have no voice. They are people suppressed and enslaved by the nobles, and some are even slaves of the nobles.

As for the international students, they are also a group of run-down nobles without inheritance rights, children from poor families, or smart slaves.

So as long as the church controls the noble lords everywhere, the voice of those businessmen and international students really doesn't matter at all.

In this world, there is no need to consider the voices and opinions of the bottom at all, and there is no need to sell benefits to them. The great nobles are the ones who influence the times.

"Then declare war on the Kingdom of Gran." Lawrence was still too lazy to pay attention to the matter, and said casually: "In view of the fact that the Kingdom of Gran and the Church of the Morning took the initiative to launch a despicable sneak attack on us, I decided to remove the equal authority of everyone in this kingdom."

"From now on, people in the Kingdom of Gran will no longer receive equal protection. We, the Gran people here, will be given a choice, whether to become members of the Church of the Stars or be exiled."

"Allow our territory and our allies to plunder the Kingdom of Glen, and tell our allies that whoever is unwilling to send troops to assist Ener Port will no longer be our ally, and the previous alliance will be automatically terminated!"

"Tell the people in Ener Port that they don't need to accept any moderation opinions from the Kingdom of Gran! Now that the war has begun, the people in their country, whether they are kings, princesses or merchants and soldiers, have only two choices."

"Become a slave, or be a dead person!"

Emma quickly passed Lawrence's order to Pumexiu Town, and the people in Pumexiu Town quickly sent a message to Ice Port.

Suleiman, a native of the Wave Kingdom, once led most of the pirates in the Wave Kingdom, and the ice pirates led by the Valkyrie Akda and others quickly drove the even larger Revenge out of the port.

The Barbarian Legion is not only good at sea battles, but also good at land battles. At the same time, whether it is the Valkyrie or the fierce pirates of the Wave Kingdom, they have suppressed the Kingdom of Gran before joining the union.

Now after joining the club, everyone's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved with factors such as abundant food and complete equipment, as well as stable logistics and pensions brought by organizational strength.

Even the men of the Wave Kingdom who once did not fight tough battles now became fearless because of the wives and children in their new families and the temptation of war meritorious titles.

Excellent sailing technology, sturdy ships, powerful military qualities, and bloodthirsty legionary willpower.

The two powerful countries in the west are the Kingdom of Gran with a population of 900,000 and the Kingdom of Io with a population of 600,000.

The Star Church now only has about 75,000 people, and more than half of them are children under the age of fourteen.

Twenty thousand men and women get married and have children, and ten thousand men and women can be born in one year, and ten thousand more in the next year.

It is currently the eighth year of the New Calendar. Since the fifth year, the population has exceeded 10,000. Every year, there are thousands of new babies. Last year, the number was more than 10,000.

Lawrence still believed that he was right in wanting peace.

But since we fight, let’s fight! There is no need to discuss or consider the middle path, nor to win over anyone, nor to consider the international impact.

There's no point in trying to win over anyone, that's not what matters in this day and age.

Whoever has superior strength is the king!

Even though they have destroyed the Kingdom of Waves, the Kingdom of Gran is not afraid of it and dares to continue to declare war on the Kingdom of Stars. This only shows that the other party really has no respect at all.

Although there are good negotiations with the princess and prince of the Kingdom of Gran, it is based on the connection between countries, and there is no need to think about this relationship to try to save anything.

After the war started, in order to prevent assassinations from iron-headed men like the Kingdom of Gran and the Church of Dawn, Lawrence took Sophia with him and reduced his outings, only going out to farm the fields when there were many guards to protect him. (End of chapter)
