forest kingdom

Lawrence rode a black unicorn into the Phillier Palace.

The Western Kingdom is different from the Barbarian Kingdom. The title here can be inherited by women, and there are many female nobles.

The reason is not equality between men and women, but the existence of witches.

There are generally more witches than wizards, they last longer, and they can easily integrate into the aristocratic forces.

In wizard families, wizards always die in various accidents due to their personalities and uncontrollable abilities, or they are not suitable to be heirs.

Therefore, in the absence of male heirs, it is natural to have female inheritance and female nobility.

The habits of wizards have also affected ordinary nobles. Duchess Philier is such a lucky woman.

The 40-year-old duchess curled up her plump, ham-like body on the ground, trying not to attract the attention of the nearby barbarians.

The originally luxurious palace had become a terrifying place. Her knight, the middle-aged knight who claimed to have killed sea beasts, was dead.

His death was too simple, cut in half by those people with a single sword strike.

The palace knights were quickly killed or simply surrendered on their knees.

The Baroness and Lady Knight, who were having a party together to play cards, had already endured the abuse of the barbarians with their buttocks raised, and had become the crotch playthings of these barbarians.

The time was over in a short time. In less than 3 minutes, these barbarians quickly put on their pants and escorted everyone out.

The duchess breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to curry favor with these barbarians and begged them not to kill her.

When she walked out of the palace in embarrassment and reached the middle courtyard, the duchess noticed that the barbarian in front of her quickly knelt down.

"prophet!"

The Duchess looked forward and saw a young man riding a black unicorn. He had a black shawl made of feathers, eyes like the night, cold eyes, and a clean and resolute face.

Soon the duchess was lifted in front of Lawrence, and was looked down condescendingly by Lawrence riding on the unicorn.

"Can you understand me?"

The Duchess said quickly: "Yes! I am Luci Deco Felier, Duchess!"

Lawrence said to the fat woman: "Hand over all the treasures in your palace immediately."

The Duchess knew who this man was. He was Lawrence Crowfeather from the rumored land given by the gods in the north.

The Duchess quickly cooperated and took out all her treasures in order to survive.

Lawrence quickly and systematically took away books and some bottles and jars that were difficult to make, such as glass hourglasses, glasses, and mirrors.

There are also the gorgeous clothes and oxcarts on these female nobles, followed by gold, silver, jewelry, food and wine.

There are basically no high-value things in this era, especially in the north where there are not many things needed. Apart from food and clothing, they are livestock.

After collecting more than 20 cartloads of wealth, Lawrence said to the stripped-off duchess: "Send a message to your king for me."

"If he doesn't apologize and compensate for Hendra's invasion of my territory, then next year I will rush into his palace and make his ministers, children, and women pay the price!"

The duchess thought she would be captured and taken to the north, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I will tell His Majesty the King. Is the Yagara wizard okay?"

The Duchess asked her sweetheart if the mind-control wizard was okay.

Lawrence said directly: "Those three wizards are dead. This is the price, but the price they have to pay is more than that!"

The duchess's expression was very bad. Losing the knights and soldiers was nothing, but without the wizard, this territory could not be maintained.

Lawrence quickly led the people away from here.

On the way back, Sophia asked: "Master, are we leaving like this? We obviously took so much trouble when we came here, but in the end we just took these things and went back."

Lawrence explained: "These nobles are of no use to us. Our ship can't hold much. This time we brought back five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which is enough for our trade with the south."

The most troublesome thing about robbery is that you can't get high-value items, and the currency in this world is not common, especially since it is still in the barter stage, and people in the Western Kingdom rarely trade things.

It is difficult to spend money, and just robbing food is not stable. The best way is to open a trade point and use exchange instead of robbing.

Sofia asked: "Isn't it good to catch that fat girl and then replace her with someone else?"

Lawrence looked at the road ahead. This kind of thing might be something that others were curious about. Lawrence thought it was necessary to let the others know.

"We have already informed the king of Deco Kingdom. If he does not want to fight, he will compensate us. Then he will definitely compensate us with some slaves."

"If he continues to fight, he won't care about the life or death of the duchess. From the moment we attack here, the duchess will have no use value." "Next, powerful people will be appointed to manage the fiefdoms in various parts of the Western Kingdom, and then Rely on these people to form an army to protect yourself."

"Those who have no power, whether they are men or women, will be abandoned."

Not killing the duchess is to show dignity to the nobles and also to give an impression to other nobles.

He believed that he was not a barbarian who would kill anyone on sight, so that in the future only people from the Deco Kingdom would dare to go to Dumu Port to talk.

It is more effective to not kill or capture than to capture and exchange prisoners.

Strong ships and powerful artillery are not used to fight wars all the time, but to open the country and expand its financial scope.

Food, population, and land.

Lawrence needed a piece of land, a peaceful land.

The main purpose of heading straight towards the Kingdom of Deco is not only to improve its own deterrence, but also to force the five coastal countries to cede territory and seek peace.

Hokuriku, Kogako, Haisenri, Durila, Deco, and the not far away Grand Kingdom.

In an era when commerce and finance were underdeveloped, land and population were the main points of contention in wars.

Lawrence's fleet began to return along the coastline. This time they did not kill many people or capture prisoners, but they packed a lot of cattle and sheep, and cut a lot of wheat seedlings for feed.

After a delay of two days, the fleet quickly sailed back with favorable winds.

When the wind is not favorable during the day, we lower the sail and row back.

All current ships are galleys, with the main power being sails and the secondary power being human rowing.

At noon on the third day, when Lawrence was counting the various rare and exotic treasures in the box, Salil quickly jumped off the board of the ship.

"Lawrence! It's raining ahead, it's raining hard!"

Lawrence quickly looked into the distance. It was sunny and sunny ahead, and there was nothing visible.

The sea breeze also felt normal, and the nearby waves were only slightly undulating.

"There is a city of Durila people nearby, let's go in and take refuge!"

Lawrence chose to believe Salil and quickly ordered all ships to sail towards the coast.

"Use all your strength to row! Hurry to the shore!"

After more than ten minutes passed, the originally sunny sky quickly became gloomy, and the sea breeze began to become fierce.

At this time, the fleet has just approached the shore. This is a port like a scissor mouth. The outermost part is two kilometers wide. The inner part is a mountain city with many stone houses.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Lawrence urged loudly while riding on the black unicorn.

There were several Durila people watching on the shore here, but they were ignored by Lawrence.

The nearby Durila people looked at this huge fleet, standing in the distance and looking at this group of people in panic, especially the young man riding the black beast.

It is very easy to distinguish between barbarians and Durila people. The one who is 1.8 meters tall is definitely a barbarian. There are not many men who are 1.8 meters tall in the entire tin mining city.

Among the people who got off the boat in front of me, the tallest one was close to two meters, and the lowest one was more than 1.7 meters.

Men in Durila are generally about 1.5 meters tall, and 1.6 meters is considered tall. Only guards and nobles are 1.7 meters tall.

The difference in height is also a difference in strength. A dozen barbarians can chase two hundred villagers running around, not to mention the seemingly hundreds of barbarian legions in front of them!

At this time, the barbarian army was working together to pull the ship to the shore, and the rest of the people quickly led the cattle and sheep off the ship.

When Lawrence saw someone going to move the treasure box on the ship, he shouted directly: "Just move the books down, don't worry about the rest!"

"Faster! Faster!"

A storm blew the barbarian army from the north to the city of Koulipu in the Kingdom of Durila.

The city guards quickly reported the news to the merchants and nobles on the streets, as well as to the noble lords in the city.

Butler Yellen quickly and anxiously found the owner.

"Count, there are many barbarians coming outside, more than 30 fleets and more than 500 people!"

boom!
The lightning and thunder outside illuminated everything in the mansion, and briefly exposed Earl Bartley's lifeless complexion.

"Hold them!" Earl Bartley quickly ordered, "Let all the guards come over to protect me and leave!!" (End of Chapter)
