Chapter 325 Bold and Careful
Wizards, like nobles, are a group of people who are afraid of death.

Lawrence felt the same way about himself.

The advantage of the northern border is that they are not afraid of death. The people here are brave, honorable, and willing to sacrifice life and death.

It is honor to defeat the enemy, and it is also honor to bring back the spoils. For this reason, dare to fight and fight hard.

People here do not fight for nobles and kings, but for honor and themselves.

Therefore, when attacking the West and the South, the predator's advantage can always be unleashed, which can become a major concern for the people of the West and the South.

It is not easy to control such a group of people.

Just giving food and clothes is not enough. These people are like wild beasts. They do not cherish or regard the gains they have grabbed with their own hands as charity from others.

Lawrence can rule this place because everyone thinks he is strong enough!
Although he doesn't look very strong, and some people think he has little strength, Lawrence's strength is not only reflected in brute force.

The Church of the Stars has gradually integrated into everyone's lives, and people here will remember the positions of the stars in the sky.

This memory is inheritance, connection, and emotion.

Accepting the stories and legends of the Church of the Stars is also equivalent to gradually accepting Lawrence's rules and accepting the existence of God.

After accepting this, you will feel that Lawrence is a true prophet, a prophet who leads everyone from poverty to prosperity, from confusion and hardship to happiness and stability.

The barbarians in the north have new masters, and the new masters have neither restrained their honor nor deprived them of their wild nature.

He gave everyone a moment to drink, talk, and enjoy life, and he also gave everyone a chance to go out and gain honors!

The soldiers began to prepare for the upcoming war, exercising their bodies, or doing various things at home in advance.

The women supported Lawrence's plan very much. During Lawrence's several campaigns, he exchanged minimal losses for large gains.

This time, the people of the Deco Kingdom took the initiative to blaspheme the land given by God, so they must fight back and make them pay the price in blood and tears!
In the manor, a group of people began to pack their things.

Lawrence watched the others pack their belongings, and quickly walked over to Lathander, who was sitting in the chair, and hugged the kind witch.

"Mother, we have been making sails and boats in Dumu Port these days. I leave the family affairs to you."

Lathander smiled and said, "Just leave it to me."

Lawrence let go of Lathander and said to Tim and Navia: "You should do your job well at home and obey your orders well."

The two maids, one big and one small, said quickly: "Yes, Master."

Catherine also left four dark elves to protect the place, responsible for patrolling and guarding at night.

Lawrence said to Catherine: "You want to go too?"

"Of course!" Catherine said seriously: "My swordsmanship and shooting skills are very good. Although I am not as strong as Salil and Delen, I am confident that I will not lose to them when I carry a weapon."

Delenn and Saryl both ignored the woman.

Sariel muttered to Delen: "It's not like we two don't know how to use weapons, that woman will say bad things about us in front of Lawrence."

Delen said coldly: "Leave her alone."

Lawrence didn't pay attention to this little thing. He really needed a lot of help when he went out this time.

Not only making sails, but also attacking the Kingdom of Deco.

Salil must be brought along. It is rainy on the sea in spring and summer. Small boats in this era cannot withstand the ravages of storms. With Salil's ability, you can avoid the storm in advance.

The wind and rain at sea only cover part of the area, so it is best to stay away.

After making arrangements at home, Lawrence went down the mountain with a large amount of supplies.

This time, Kehalan was also brought along to form the strongest lineup.

When leading people from Phumexiu Town to Dumu Port, Khalan said: "If you tell us, Lathander will probably agree to set off with us. Her abilities will be very useful to us."

Lawrence shook his head, "Enough people have gone, and I still hope that our home side can be more stable. After all, we don't know when we will come back. If we are delayed, Lathander can stabilize our territory in time. "

Catherine asked curiously: "Is she very capable?"

Lawrence explained: "It's not a matter of witchcraft. Most people know that she is my mother. As the elder of our Crowfeather family, she has a leadership temperament and can decide many things."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to convince the rest of the people just by relying on the maid or the warriors I designated."

Especially since Lathander himself is strong enough and has a group of original subordinates who obey his orders.

Whether it was resisting invasion or organizing production, Lathander was able to issue various orders in Lawrence's absence.If it were Sariel and Delen, they wouldn't be able to do this. Neither of them is good at such internal affairs, so they can only work hard by themselves.

After arriving at Dumu Port, Lawrence began to make a three-masted sailboat, while the others began to pack things on the beach or salvage sea vegetables.

Lawrence was responsible for building sailing ships in the shipyard.

Originally the plan was to build a ketch, a sailing ship with two masts.

After trying it several times, I found that it was not reliable at all.

Lawrence discovered that the masts were distributed along the axis of the ship, regardless of its size.

Laying out only along the axis means that the masts cannot be too dense. If the masts are too close together, it means that they will block each other.

When the wind blows the sails, one sail can move, but what are more sails for?
Control the direction and maximize the use of wind power.

Lawrence wanted a medium-sized transverse sail made of wool braid and positioned in the middle.

A sail is in the shape of a small longitudinal sail, positioned at the front, to take advantage of the wind passing in the middle.

There is also a small balance sail at the stern that controls the direction of the boat. Most of the time the wind blows from the stern to the sail.

Each sail has more than one sail. If the sail is too big, the mast will be blown off by the wind, so there will be a gap in the middle to let the wind pass through.

How to secure these sails with ropes is also a very complicated problem.

It's like a dense network of wires. Each wire must have its purpose.

The witches couldn't help with this kind of thing, and Lawrence could only keep discussing and trying these things with the craftsmen.

The Wakiri used fir oars and linen sails, while Lawrence chose more durable oak oars and refined waterproof sails.

The hull is made of the best oak, and the main mast is made of a 40-meter oak tree, which is also a fine log that has been soaked in water and dried in the shade.

The ship is 25 meters long and has a sail height of 32 meters. It is a large ship that has been prepared since last year.

The design is still very simple. I originally wanted to design it into two floors with a place to live inside, but I didn't have enough time.

After the Valkyries, the Sidels, and the stragglers from Telanthoof gathered together, the expedition could no longer be delayed.

It takes a lot of time and a lot of experience for both Lawrence and the craftsmen to improve their skills.

In order to prevent problems with the newly built large ship, Lawrence specially brought two small boats. In addition, the ships driven by Andrew and others were escorting nearby, so there was no big problem.

Lawrence quickly boarded the ship with a large amount of wood for repairing the ship, and while continuing to build houses on the ship, he led the army to set off!
Whether it's Salil or Derren and others, they all think Lawrence is very creative.

In this era, you need to be bold and careful!

However, even the savages and pirate navigators felt that Lawrence's performance of building ships and sailing at the same time was a bit too reckless.

"Won't that kind of ship break?"

"I don't know, unless God is really blessing him."

"What is he doing? Building a deck on the ship and floating out to sea?"

"Are we sure we want to follow him? I don't want to meet Poseidon!"

"Me too, let's go along the coast, don't follow him!"

The people in Telangtahoe City did not follow Lawrence at all. These people quickly broke away from the fleet and continued to walk from the coastal area.

The Valkyries also hesitated and left the fleet. They also felt that Lawrence was too crazy.

The Sidel people communicated with each other and hesitated.

Baron Durand gave the order very decisively, "Follow us! God is with us!"

"I can't keep up! Their ship is too fast!" The sailor soon discovered that the dangerous-looking ship was running very fast under a favorable wind.

Durand said nothing and continued to let the ship follow.

Sure enough, the Lawrence boat quickly stopped to wait for everyone, and then continued to set off after everyone regained their lineup.

Just three hours after leaving Dumu Port, the fleet sailed into the deep sea area.
