Mountain and Forest Kingdom

After deciding that he would fight and fight outside, Lawrence began to consider where to set up the battlefield.

"If there is really going to be a fight, there must be a smooth logistics channel so that the industrial supplies and medicines from the Kingdom of Stars can be quickly put into the battlefield."

"When the Invincible Fleet goes out to show off its power and dominate maritime trade rights, it must have a stable supply."

"The Green Forest Kingdom... is so close, and it is close to the waterway here, and it has something to do with the Church of the Dawn."

"As the saying goes, if a rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside its nest, why should it run all over the mountain if there is grass beside its nest?"

The tradition of the barbarians has always been to attack nearby. Even Lawrence in the civilized world felt that unless it was of no value, there was no reason not to occupy it as long as it was valuable land and treasures.

Rural neighbors will be beaten to death for a few centimeters of land, let alone the country.

Unless it's a land of barren mountains and rivers, there is no such thing as a border.

Lawrence arrived in the town of Pumexiu and called several military nobles and civil officials to discuss arrangements for the war.

"Now we have close ties with the three surrounding countries, providing each other with goods and intelligence technology."

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

"The Hokuriku Kingdom develops animal husbandry, iron smelting, brewing, fishing, and jewelry processing. We taught them about the waterwheels and windmills of the past, which solved their shortage of manpower."

"The Kingdom of Kojako develops technologies such as agriculture and ore smelting, and produces instruments and equipment for craftsmen's workshops. Starting this year, we will purchase the equipment there. This can save a lot of time and manpower to develop new technologies."

"We develop gunpowder, printed books, compasses, papermaking and other technologies here. While building ships, we also sell some technologies. In this way, every time Haisenli builds a ship, we have to pay us a sum of money as a technology patent."

“When we use their technology in the future, we will also have to pay patent fees.”

"In this kind of exchange, our four countries can establish closer ties, but now the Kingdom of Durila and the Kingdom of Green Forest have not officially cooperated more closely with us."

"The Church of Dawn is already planning to deal with us. We also need to activate the invincible fleet to go to sea. We also need a strong army on land to protect the security of various countries."

Fleiss looked at Lawrence, "Prophet, have you heard the voice of God?"

People nearby looked at Lawrence nervously and excitedly.

As long as it is God's command, then you must do it, and no one can stop it.

Religious wars are different from normal wars. There is no need to consider gains and losses, and many worries can be reduced.

Lawrence said calmly: "God is not our parents. He will not take care of everything, and he will not be like a child, thinking that just shouting from his parents will get a response."

"God has given us a lot. God is merciful and not weak to be bullied. He will not let us ask for anything from Him at will."

"What we have to do is protect the land given to us by the God! This is what each of us should do!"

Lawrence abandoned deliberation and, as dictator, determined what was to be done.

"Our enemy is the Church of the Dawn! Outside the place of protection given to us by God, a group of evil pagans are peeking at our fertile land!"

"They will come and kill our men and children, eat or burn our women. In order to prevent these evil people from invading our homes and destroying our farmland and houses, we must block them outside! "

"Now go back and count the warriors in your respective teams who are willing to go out. I want a specific number. The minimum age is fifteen years old!"

Fleiss and other military nobles who had previously been awarded titles quickly said: "Yes! Prophet!"

Fighting is the duty of military nobles, and it is also the honor pursued by men in this land.

The Kingdom of Stars has only been established for a few years, and many large and small wars have been fought. Men, women, and children are also used to this kind of thing happening.

Every war brings more people, more supplies, more land and livestock.

War can bring huge profits, and it can also be exchanged for meritorious status and land. With strong logistics guarantee, each region can quickly organize a team as long as they come up with the prophet's order.

After Lawrence drove away the generals in a dull manner, he sat in the church conference room and thought alone.

The Green Forest Kingdom must be mastered, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable when this thing sticks in the heart when fighting against the Church of Dawn.

It's either cooperation or being conquered. When fighting, there is no neutrality at other people's doorsteps. It's not so strong that others can't defeat it.

"I don't know what Oroda said to the elves after she returned. It would be a bit difficult if she still plans to remain neutral."

The Green Forest Kingdom can be defeated, but even if there are only a thousand elves, they are still a very powerful force, and there are countless extraordinary beings inside.

It's also possible that after beating him, it's like poking a hornet's nest. Then a group of wizards and witches who can't defeat the barbarians will come and assassinate him.

But from many witches, Lawrence also saw another possibility.

As long as we are willing to accept those female elves and witches, these sensible and intelligent groups will not have any concept of nationality.

After sending an envoy to the Green Forest Kingdom to inquire about the situation, Lawrence stopped thinking about the Green Forest Kingdom for the time being.

"Brillelle, how are the international students at the monastery doing lately?"

Brielle stood next to the table and said: "Everything is very good. The Kingdom of Kojako and the Kingdom of Hokuriku often write to ask about related technical issues. In the past few days, I have been studying spring plowing and iron smelting in the monastery."

Lawrence nodded. Now that the alliance of the four countries has strengthened, the three kingdoms supported by the Church of the Stars will gain the strength to conquer the outside world in just a few years.

Thinking of the alliance between the four countries, Lawrence suddenly felt that there was no need to be so anxious to destroy the Church of Dawn.

At present, the main base of the Church of Dawn is only the Kingdom of Io and a few far away countries, and it is actually beyond its reach.

Even the people from the Church of the Dawn convinced the king of the Kingdom of Io that in this era, detailed navigation skills were needed to go on a long sea voyage.

The Church of Dawn obviously does not have this technology, and the Kingdom of Io, as a land kingdom that mainly relies on infantry and cavalry, is also not good at it.

Without a sufficient number of sailors and related technical personnel, the most these people can do is walk along the coastline. Such sailing speed is very slow, and the crew's health is prone to problems.

Lawrence thought of Orrunchi powder, "Find out the sales volume of Orrunchi powder in the past two years. I remember seeing it before, but I forgot."

Brielle quickly said: "Yes! I'll go right away!"

"No, I know this." Cassandra stopped Brielle and said directly to Lawrence: "Last year's sales were 4,100 kilograms. This was sold. We used the powder for our own wars. Six thousand kilograms, and another three hundred tons of oranges were transported.”

"The sales volume the year before last was 5,500 kilograms. Envoys from various countries bought a lot. Last year, there were fewer businessmen from several countries because of the war."

Lawrence was very satisfied with Cassandra's ability and smiled: "That's good. It seems that those outside have not noticed the importance of long-distance navigation technology and have not even made basic preparations."

Kassandra quickly understood what Lawrence meant and asked again: "Oranges are not rare. Maybe there are places in the West where there are many oranges growing."

"It is possible." Lawrence did not underestimate others, "But there are many technologies besides oranges. If they don't make any move about it, it only means that they think it is easy to get to us by boat. "

"People who underestimate the sea will behave even more badly when facing the other side of the sea."

Many abilities of wizards, especially wizards, can be called abnormal, but the various witchcraft currently known are not enough to compare with real nature.

Especially terrifying sea storms.

Even a slightly fierce ocean storm or a storm on the sea can let the ignorant magicians know what a power worthy of awe is.

Without a large enough ship, it is impossible to sail far. Without the technology and knowledge to avoid wind and rain, and to locate the direction, drifting on the sea is an extremely dangerous thing.

Seeing how confident Lawrence was, Cassandra remembered another thing.

"What about the Holy Light Church?"

Lawrence explained: "The Holy Light Church in the south is still persecuting witches and searching for traces of witches everywhere. Their minions are also arresting female nobles and single women. Now many people prefer to arrest single women instead of coming to us. Catch the savages.”

The sacrifices of those warriors in the past, who used their lives to defend the dignity of the northern border, made everyone in the church feel that it was very difficult to fight here, and only then did they gain two or three years of peace.

There is also the fact that the Church of the Stars has not developed to the south, coupled with some wrong intelligence, leading the Southern Church to believe that there is no threat here.

The battle between Durila and the Kingdom of Gran was basically an ordinary invasion battle.

The Holy Light Church itself had lost a territory to the Kingdom of Luofen. It accepted the Church of Dawn's territory being lost to barbarians and did not see any problem.

Barbarians without culture will be tamed even if they occupy territory.

Due to distance and intelligence transmission, only two or three years are not enough for distant countries to know every move here. (End of chapter)
