Chapter 339 Exercise
Earl Karp came to the north again.

This is my second time this year and the last time before winter.

As soon as they approached the area outside Dumu Port, Count Garp and others became nervous.

"Count! There are pirates ahead!"

Count Garp also saw ships in the distance. More than a dozen pirate ships were approaching here, especially a large ship with many white canvases hanging in the middle.

That ship doesn't look like a pirate ship. Normal pirate ships are about 15 meters long, and there are many sailors rowing them.

When the pirates saw him, he basically couldn't run away.

Count Garp tries to find good news and soon discovers that the approaching ships are not Valkyrie pirates.

"Look at their flag! It's a crow! It's the Crowfeather Seer's fleet!"

Count Garp saw the crow iron pieces spinning on the big ship.

Not only were there signs and flags on the three-masted ship, but the other ships also had similar markings, with a five-pointed star pattern of the Church of the Star painted on it.

The fleets on both sides quickly approached, and the fleet in front seemed to recognize the people here and began to turn around and return.

There were also 15-meter pirate ships to escort them. Under the protection of these ships, the twelve merchant ships quickly entered Dumu Port.

The ships on both sides are small and medium-sized ships with not deep drafts, so they can easily dock.

Western ships are mainly single-layer merchant ships between 20 meters and 30 meters long. A cover is built on the hull to make it look like a simple glasses box.

Lawrence's three-masted sailboat was unable to approach the beach. It didn't matter once or twice. Too many times would cause problems for the ship.

The bottom of the three-masted sailing ship is triangular and higher than that of the pirate ship. It requires at least two meters of water to ensure that the bottom of the ship touches the bottom.

If the water is too shallow, it will roll over, or the whole body's strength will be concentrated on the bottom of the boat and the bottom of the boat will be crushed.

However, it is easy to be damaged if it is bumpy at sea all the time, so a special berth must be built.

Count Karp asked Andrew as he got off the boat: "Is the Prophet in Pumixiu Town?"

Andrew glanced at Garp, then continued to look at the slaves carrying treasure, food and trophies.

"He's in the shipyard here and will be here soon."

Karp felt that Andrew didn't want to talk, so he didn't continue the conversation with this troublesome-looking barbarian.

Soon Garp and several envoys gathered together, together with the noble men and women brought by Garp.

Karp said: "I asked, the prophet is here and will be here soon."

William adjusted his clothes and hat, showing a natural look.

"I've also asked about it. The people here are practicing naval warfare. The prophet ordered them to stop pirates heading to the west here."

Garp and others nodded. Crowfeather Prophet's arrangements ensured the safety of the Western Kingdom, especially the safety of several coastal areas.

"prophet!"

After hearing the sound, everyone quickly looked over there, and sure enough they saw a man riding a black unicorn walking slowly on the wide road.

The sea breeze blew on him and the unicorn beneath him, combined with the slanting sunlight and the brand-new buildings and mountains behind him, giving people a special feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.

He is powerful and noble, and his name of kindness and bravery resounds throughout the Western Kingdom.

"He is so young!" the female noble said softly.

Garp warned these female nobles who were about to devote themselves to becoming nuns: "Watch your words!"

Lawrence quickly walked to everyone.

"Welcome, friends from the West. Thank you for coming all the way. I have prepared a banquet for you."

Garp stood up and said: "Prophet, as promised before, we brought gifts, five cows and five thousand kilograms of wool."

Lawrence said with satisfaction: "Very good. I happen to have a good harvest of potatoes here. I can give you [-] catties of potatoes. You can take them back and share them with your people."

"Thank you, kind prophet." Garp did not expect to be given so much food and said excitedly: "This is my daughter Safi. I hope she can join the Church of the Stars and become a servant of God."

Safi is a somewhat fat aristocratic woman. Looking at the tall Lawrence, she also showed an excited and shy expression.

"Merciful prophet, I am willing to join the Church of the Stars and become a servant of God and you."

Although the other party seemed to mean that, Lawrence didn't feel anything.

"It is not that simple to become a servant of God, but I am willing to give you this opportunity to try. You can stay here for a few days. You will have enough time to consider this matter before your father leaves."

Safi said decisively: "I don't have to think about it! It's very good here, my father said so, it's much better than our place!"

Lawrence smiled and said: "Go and eat first. You should trust your eyes and mouth."

Soon Laurence led a group of noble men and women to the guest house in Port Dum.

There is no doubt that the mouths and eyes of these noble women were quickly conquered.

Lawrence asked these women to continue visiting Pumixiu Town, while he discussed the transaction with several nobles.

"I am going to trade with the Valkyries and sell some potatoes to them. If possible, I will go to Pig Trotter City. I hope you will go with my men."

Garp felt that this was a bit dangerous.

“Why sell potatoes to the Wakili?”

Lawrence explained the root cause straightforwardly, "If the Valkyries don't have enough food, they will find a way to survive instead of waiting to die."

"Mere force cannot solve all problems. Our God does not like violence and killing, so I will arrange a fleet to send warmth to the Vakiri people and the people of the Luofen Kingdom, so that they can understand God's kindness."

Garp and others were in awe. Although many people would not do this kind of thing, when they heard it, they felt that it was something a kind god would do.

Karp said directly: "As nobles, we have an obligation to participate, and for the sake of our country."

After hearing this, William nodded and agreed, "I will also participate." With the two of them taking the lead, the others also decided to go and have a look.

Lawrence praised: "Very good."

Teutonic asked: "Prophet, are you going with us this time?"

Lawrence said gently: "No, my duty is to listen to God's guidance here."

Everyone had no objection after hearing this. After all, this is what a prophet should do.

Lawrence said: "When you go back, I will give you iron tools and farm tools, and I will also tell you how to make iron. If the people you send learn these, I will also send them back, and they will spread the technology back to you." domestic."

"At the same time, I also welcome your craftsmen to come to my place to learn and exchange techniques from different regions."

Lawrence's generosity is unique in this era. After winning the battle, he not only allowed everyone to pay in installments, but also gave back various technologies, and thoughtfully gave a large number of potatoes so that everyone could have food to eat when they returned.

What a nice guy!
Not only the people in the Western Kingdom think Lawrence is a good person, but many Valkyrie people also think Lawrence is a good person.

Baron Lille was one of those people who didn't believe it. Like the earl, he was actually very wary of the Crowfeather Prophet.

While Baron Lille was drinking, a man in shabby clothes suddenly ran in from the door.

"Baron! There are many pirates outside!"

"Pirates?" Baron Lille said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are pirates! Who else is more like a pirate than us?!"

However, more people soon started shouting outside.

"Enemy attack!"

"There are pirates coming!"

"Many ships! Many ships coming from the sea!"

Baron Lille went out quickly.

"How could there be pirates?" Baron Lille still didn't believe it.

When he came out, he soon saw a huge fleet of ships far away on the ocean.

It seems that more than 50 ships are heading here, and the entire sea is full of ships!

With more than 50 boats, that’s a lot of people!

Lille knew very well that there were not many people in the tribe now. If so many people came, he would definitely not be able to stop them.

Not only Lille was aware of the reality, but also Count Valkyrie who hurriedly came out to check the situation.

Count Valkyrie lives not in a castle, but in an ordinary wooden house.

Count Valkyrie, who came out of the house on the mountain, also quickly saw the fleet at sea.

At this moment, Count Valkyrie was much older, and his heart became more and more frightened.

"Liel! Stop them quickly!"

The Earl quickly looked at his cronies.

However, Baron Lille was thinking about things without saying a word.

That calm look immediately chilled the earl.

The countess also had objections at this time.

The two middle-aged men and women looked at each other and knew it was time to solve the problem.

The count sensed the signal between the woman and the man, and he panicked and wanted to say something.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "It's Crow Feather Prophet's fleet!"

Crowfeather Seer!

Count Valkyrie quickly found a backer and quickly shouted: "It's the Crow Feather Prophet's fleet, he is here to do business with us."

"Come and see with me!"

Count Valkyrie quickly walked out.

At this time, the countess and the baron wanted to take action, but they were afraid of the Crowfeather Prophet's reputation and oath.

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't take action. At this time, the best opportunity was lost.

The mighty warships and merchant ships soon docked at the seaside. The Wakili people not only have a beach coast, but also a good deep-water port.

Andrew stood on the bow of the three-masted sailboat, looking at the Vakiri in the distance like a god of war.

Next to Andrew, there are Fleiss, Karp, William, Teutonic and others.

These Western envoys are not weak. Some of them may not look strong, but they are by no means weak.

Lawrence mobilized 800 people to participate in this exercise, almost all the main forces.

The huge number of people and teams, as well as various sophisticated swords, shields and axes, soon had a visual impact on the Valkyries who only had a small amount of iron weapons.

Count Valkyrie, who has rich experience, is very sure that even in his heyday, his territory would not be able to build such an invincible fleet!
This is a team that you absolutely cannot beat!

Olaua also showed a complicated expression.

I had always thought that Crow Feather Prophet's strength was not much different from this one.

But when I saw these people today, I knew very clearly that I was definitely no match for these people. The people on these ships alone were enough to kill all the Valkyries!

I can't imagine the strength of Crowfeather Prophet!unbeatable!

In the face of the powerful military force, the Wakili people quickly showed their friendly faces. They brought all kinds of valuable things from their homes to exchange for potatoes. They also held a party to entertain these distant visitors, and they became good at singing and dancing. .
