Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The barbarian legion is very brave, especially when it comes to obtaining military honors, they don't regard the enemy as a human being.

It is for their own good to arrest people here. Those who are unwilling to be loyal to the Kingdom of Stars are bad people and dead people.

Lawrence was worried about this matter. While acquiescing to the occurrence of this kind of thing, he listened to the excited expressions of the family members of those who died in the war and said that they would continue to fight against the enemy. At the same time, he secretly lamented the barbaric atmosphere around him.

"Your Majesty the Prophet! My husband died heroically in battle, can my children be like their father?"

In the concrete house where the temporary residents stayed, a Valkyrie woman pulled her two teenage children to her side and looked at Lawrence expectantly.

"This is Taya and Ur. They are both strong. As long as they stay with the fleet for another half a year, they will be very good warriors."

Lawrence smiled and said: "The war is over, at least there will be no war for the time being, but you may not know what will happen in the future. Now your husband, the father of your children, has used his bravery to win the attention of the warriors and the church. of attention.”

"You can take these grains, these clothes, this cow and three ewes back to Wakili. If anyone robs these things, you can come and tell me, and I will seek justice for you."

The woman quickly knelt down with the children, "Thank you, prophet of mercy!"

The husband of the Valkyrie woman in front of her was a warrior. His sacrifice was very valuable. He took the lead in breaking into the enemy's command formation and then died heroically.

The compensation given by Lawrence was sufficient. In addition to cattle, sheep, grain and clothing, there was also a wooden cart.

Cattle can plow the land, which can replace the shortage of labor when men are away. At the same time, they can also be rented out to others for farming in exchange for extra compensation.

You can also make some extra money by riding an ox cart. There are not many carts in this era. Having an ox cart in rural areas is more beneficial than owning several acres of land.

Sheep can provide wool, meat and milk.

Lawrence gave him two more knives, two axes, and a military sling equipment, which could be used for cooking, self-defense or exercise.

The more family members comforted, the more Lawrence felt that the current war atmosphere was too strong.

It's a bit cruel to say that, in fact, most people have no feelings for their dead husbands and fathers. They only feel like crying inexplicably when they compensate them or are mentioned repeatedly.

Primitive society is a patriarchal society, and the barbarians here have nothing to do with beating children and playing with women. It's a damn thing to have feelings.

Sometimes I really want the other person to die quickly.

Barbarians join the army not for their wives and children, but mainly for money, future, and atmosphere.

If everyone in a village goes to join the army, whoever doesn't go will be isolated and ridiculed, so he goes out of self-esteem.

After actually going to the battlefield, as long as the logistics are good, if you see others coming to kill you, you will pick up weapons and resist when you should. If you don't have the courage to say anything when you are about to kill, you will just charge!

The atmosphere of joining the army is slightly more important than the so-called wives, children and family members. Nowadays, even unmarried men and women are actively joining the army.

Lawrence, who had worked hard all morning, quickly returned to the church and had no intention of getting off work yet.

"I'm really tired..." Lawrence sighed, looking at the names on the death list, and there were still a dozen places to go.

Alecmu stood three meters away from Lawrence. The place was illuminated by the autumn sunshine and under the watchful eyes of several nearby guards.

Alekmu came to report the news, and it was good news.

"Prophet, our harvest from the Kingdom of Gran has been brought back, including forty-two boxes of gold and silver treasures, two thousand kilograms of royal collection books, sixty pairs of armor, three hundred cattle, and four thousand craftsmen, musicians, and maids. , there are still many treasures that have not had time to be transported back."

Lawrence nodded, not interested in gold, silver and jewelry. These are money if they can be spent, but they are just a bunch of handicrafts if they cannot be spent.

"Leave the Gran Kingdom to Seravan first, and Beow will go to the Gran Kingdom with Seravan."

"About the title." Lawrence thought about the key things, "I will make five barons, ten territorial knights, and one hundred honorary knights based on everyone's performance this time."

Alekmu is from the Kingdom of Io. This time he is mainly responsible for war strategy and offensive issues, and has very little time to participate in the war.

"Yes, Prophet."

Alekmu still acted so calmly, but Lawrence knew very well how much the noble children who had no inheritance rights in this era valued the title of nobility.

The title of nobility, the honor of nobility, these are things that money cannot buy, and they are even more important than life.

In the past, the barbarians in the north divided their kingdoms among themselves, and no one else recognized the nobles here. The so-called earls, viscounts, and barons were a joke in the eyes of others.

However, now the Kingdom of Stars has been recognized by other countries and has destroyed the old Kingdom of Gran.

Now the titles in the Kingdom of Stars are no worse than those in the Kingdom of Io.

Everyone wants to branch out and establish a sect. Alekmu has been working alone in Feiyu Port for several years, and he has always wanted to achieve something in his career.

If you can become a noble in Feiyu Port or the Kingdom of Gran, then you will no longer be a noble of the Bird Family of the Kingdom of Io, but a new family, a noble family with Alikmu as its master!

Lawrence quickly said to Alekmu: "There are still small rebel forces in the Kingdom of Gran. After you finish what you are doing, go and help them and help them gain a foothold. I will send people to manage Feiyu Port. "

"Yes, Prophet." Alekmu agreed quickly, knowing that this was an opportunity given to him by Lawrence.

Lawrence nodded and motioned for Alec to go down and do some work.

After Alekmu left, Lawrence helplessly raised his head and closed his eyes, thinking.

With a population of 70,000 to 80,000, it annexed the Kingdom of Gran with a population of more than 900,000.

Normally this is impossible, but it is not something that has never happened.

We have to digest it slowly now, and we will feel better in two or three years. The premise is that the Holy Light Church does not come to cause trouble.

Fortunately, Pig's Trotter City was not annexed at the beginning. Now Pig's Trotter City can have a slight buffer and buy some time.

In order to solve the problem of the Glen Kingdom more securely and prevent the Glen Kingdom from becoming a flame on the cat's tail, Lawrence quickly rented out part of the area for free.

Lease the three port areas of the Grand Kingdom to the Kingdom of Haisenli, the Kingdom of Hokuriku, and the Kingdom of Kojako for fifty years for free. After that, you only need to pay a rent every year to continue using them.

This is not only an additional compensation for the three kingdoms to send troops to help, but also provides the three kingdoms with a base to develop navigation to the south, so that everyone can cooperate with the outside world.

Under the coordination of Lawrence, the future development directions of the three kingdoms should also be different, so as to prevent commercial battles and friction between countries.

The Kingdom of Haisenli develops shipping, shipbuilding, and breeding.

The Hokuriku Kingdom relied on waterfalls to develop technologies such as animal husbandry, iron smelting, wine making, fishing, and jewelry processing.

The Kingdom of Kojako developed technologies such as agriculture and ore smelting, and produced instruments and equipment for craftsmen's workshops.

The Kingdom of the Stars developed technologies such as gunpowder, printed books, compasses, and papermaking.

The only requirement is that the language of the Kingdom of Stars must become the common language, and the characters of the Kingdom of Stars must become the universal script.

Lawrence stood on the balcony of the City Lord's Mansion, placing his hands on the balcony railings and looking at his port city, and at the Winged Harbor that was still being built in the distance.

“After the destruction, it’s time to build something up.”

"Education, construction, and of course there should be some entertainment." (End of chapter)
