forest kingdom

Chapter 364 Deterrence
There are more than 30 people in the Kingdom of Waves, and the entire kingdom is composed of more than 50 islands of different sizes.

The largest island is the seat of the king, located in the center of the archipelago and occupying the largest island here.

At first, it was just a group of pirates who were active here. Later, more and more people gathered, forming a complex force, and then slowly stabilized and formed a kingdom.

Even in a kingdom dominated by pirates, there are many ordinary people and families.

The Kingdom of Waves has been established for decades, and the original pirates have already had sons and grandsons, families and land.

Not everyone is a pirate, there are also merchants, farmers, nobles, soldiers, and innocent people here.

But this day, everything changed.

In the eyes of the good people of the Kingdom of Waves, this is a day they will never forget.

The barbarian pirates from the north arrived in large and small ships like devils.

The soldiers of Wave Kingdom fought hard and were vulnerable to these barbarians. Every familiar face was chopped down to the ground by the cruel barbarians.

Houses were burned down, the ground was burning, men were killed casually, and women were pushed to the ground and cried.

People rowed boats to escape from the islands where they had lived for generations, away from the ferocious and brutal barbarian pirates.

People living in a fertile and comfortable land lost their homes. At this time, they burst into tears looking at their homes that were destroyed by pirates in the distance.

When the military nobles of the Kingdom of Waves organized an army to approach carefully, those people had packed away the local nobles' treasures, women, slaves, clothes, livestock, wine, food, and various valuables, leaving only a group of disabled people behind. and the old man preached to the people the cruelty of these savages.

An island of 2 people was directly destroyed, with more than 3000 casualties, more than 2000 people captured, ten ships, and countless losses.

Revenge... that's impossible.

Thousands of people died in the battle. It is destined that revenge cannot be taken by just one or two people.

Even if there are 30 people in the Kingdom of Waves, they still can't assemble a huge expedition team of [-] people.

If there are not ten thousand people, they will definitely not be able to defeat those barbarians.

Now not only the Kingdom of Waves, but also the kingdoms near the Kingdom of Waves, and several kingdoms inland are worried about this matter.

The barbarians will really beat them down!
I didn't care about this matter before because I thought it had nothing to do with me. Why should I be afraid of being so far away?
But now he has come across such a long distance, which has caused the surrounding countries to fall into the same uneasiness as the Kingdom of Waves.

After learning that the Kingdom of Waves was attacked by the army sent by the Barbarian King, the nobles of the kingdom who were dawdling in the Western Kingdom began to pay attention to the movements of the Church of the Stars and the Kingdom of the Stars.

People from the Kingdom of Deco, Kingdom of Gran, Kingdom of Durila, and Kingdom of Haisenli all saw the mighty and invincible fleet passing by along the coast.

After a long and boring voyage, the Armada quickly approached Feiyu Port.

Outside Feiyu Port, Lawrence, Seravan and others were waiting for the expedition team at the beach.

The ice-sea boat came back half a day in advance to report the news. After learning the results of this battle, Lawrence quickly asked people to open the warehouse that had been prepared.

Feiyu Port could not accommodate too many ships. The slaves quickly pulled the small boats docked at the port to the shore. A dozen people worked together to lift the pirate ship with its sails furled and moved it into the shipyard warehouse.

Seravan soon awaited the triumphant expedition.

Everyone standing on the boat also saw Lawrence and others.

Everyone quickly parked the boat at the beach, and Fleiss and Rodney took the boat to the shore.

"prophet!"

The two saluted respectfully.

Lawrence felt relieved after seeing everyone come back.

"Very good, you did a very good job. It took me a month and a half to go back and forth this time. Now put down all the people and livestock, enter the port in order to unload the goods, and rest for a few days before going back."

Fleiss and Rodney also wanted to get some rest.

"Yes!"

Lawrence sorted the captured slaves and livestock. The strong ones were grouped together, the weak ones rested on the spot, and those of a family or friends and lovers were given priority.

The main harvest this time was all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry. Lawrence didn't care about these. He was mainly interested in people, books and various novelties.

Food and livestock are placed nearby, and part of the population is brought back. Because those brought back are young and middle-aged people, many of them can be directly assigned to work.

A lot of children were also brought back, because Lawrence had always paid attention to the cultivation of children. Andrew and others thought these children were useful and brought them back. They mainly killed the nobles and resisters.

There are relatively few adult males, and pirates in most coastal areas run relatively fast, or participate in robberies and are killed.

Populations in different regions have different occupations. The women in the Kingdom of Waves are not as brave as the Pumixiu people, nor are they as docile as the people in the City of Water. They are also not as good as the Durila people in terms of obeying the rules and being diligent.

Before Lawrence could figure out how to deal with these people, Durand arranged for the pirate women to come out to dance during dinner in the evening, and they danced passionately while Lawrence and others watched.

The surrounding northern pirates cheered. At this moment, the north and the south converged. Everyone was a man, and these women who were mixed in the southern pirate tribe also knew how to please these vulgar men, and they lost their clothes one by one.

Andrew was also watching the performances of the beauties, and took the time to say happily to Lawrence:

"It's a good thing Salil isn't here, otherwise I would have to listen to her talk again and again."

Lawrence nodded, "That's right."

This time, only Catherine and Sophia were brought with them, while Salil and Delenn stayed at the manor to help Lathander.

It would be too troublesome to bring too many people here. If it were not for safety reasons, Sophia might as well not bring them.

Sofia sat next to Lawrence and looked at the women dancing seductively.

"Master, do you like this kind of dance?" Sofia asked in a low voice, more concerned about Lawrence's preferences.

Lawrence smiled.

"Like it, I like both vulgar and elegant music, but now our soldiers have experienced long journeys and killings. Elegant music cannot calm them down, so vulgar music can better vent their emotions."

Sofia felt that Lawrence didn't particularly like it, just a little bit.

If you like it, then you must learn it. Sophia watched it carefully, thinking about showing it to Lawrence when she got home.

Andrew quickly looked at Lawrence.

"Prophet, we caught a lot of beautiful women this time!"

Lawrence knew what Andrew meant, and he knew what Rodney and Crete meant.

"Yes." Lawrence drank and said calmly: "I want ten beautiful women and girls each. You can choose the rest by yourself, but do not kill them or abandon them. I hope they will be the mothers of your children. .”

Crete and others had no problem accepting this arrangement.

These people all have a lot of military exploits and wealth, and raising several women is not a problem.

It is not easy for beautiful women to be independent in this era, especially as captives. Lawrence has given them the best choice.

The captives taken from the southern pirates were different from the Durila people, and Lawrence had no sympathy for these people.

The others had no objection to Lawrence's arrangement, except Andrew.

"I only have one daughter, Salil, and other women can't give me children. They can't be their mothers!" Andrew expressed his dissatisfaction loudly.

Lawrence smiled.

"Then you definitely need a few women to help you wash clothes, make beds, and clean the house. Your request is very simple. Control your temper, don't abuse them, and let them have food to eat, a place to sleep, and clothes to wear." "

Andrew agreed this time, and then couldn't wait to call someone to bring the beauties up.

Lawrence quickly selected ten girls and ten women each, who would be given priority to receive the blessings of the Crowfeather Prophet.

Soon the carnival begins. Lawrence can't stop these people from venting, but he can bind them to the women.

Now that you're married, you have to be responsible. It doesn't matter what you say to your wife and children after you get home, as long as you keep them.

These soldiers were given money and food to support their families, and from current considerations, the more descendants these warriors have, the more important they are to their kingdom.

The Kingdom of Stars, with a population of 1, needs a large number of people to develop and grow. The local situation is that there are more girls than boys. During this period, fertility should be encouraged.

Although the population has increased to 1, there are still only more than 1000 available soldiers.

After resting for two days, after the savages had been drunk two or three times, and the women had grown tired of it, the fleet of forty ships returned towards the port of Dume.

The barbarian who had had enough of venting soon began to miss his hometown, and couldn't wait to return to his hometown as soon as possible to reunite with his family.

When we returned to Dumu Port again, the ice and snow here had just melted and the weather was still a bit cold.

The familiar cold wind made the barbarians excited, this is what they feel like home!

"Go back and rest. We have gained enough wealth this year. I have to think about where to go next year. I will let you know then."

Lawrence divided the spoils, giving treasures, food and wine to the Valkyries, and gold and silver coins, wine and cloth to the Sidels.

Everyone got enough wealth. Some of the single Vakiri chose to stay and take their women to find work in Dumu Port, while the rest of the Vakiri with families went back with Crete.

The Sidel people returned with their assigned wealth and slaves, and Lawrence gave some unmanageable pirates to the Sidel people.

The Valkyries are now vassals of Lawrence, but the Sidel people are not. The two sides still have a cooperative relationship.

In order to better manage the newcomers to the Wave Kingdom, Lawrence held a grievance meeting. The bottom people in the Wave Kingdom selected the pirates who had been guilty of crimes. After verification, these pirates were sent to work in mining and quarrying.

After avenging some of the lower class people, it will be much easier to manage. As long as you are willing to work, you will have food and drink. After three years of work, you will be promoted from a slave to a serf, and you will be allowed to freely form a family and provide a wedding room.

After the arrival of early spring, Lawrence began to expand the cultivated land and arranged frequent ships to fly between Feiyu Port and Dumu Port.

Lawrence waited for the arrival of the caravan in the town of Pumexiu. Before the arrival of the southern caravan, he first waited for the western caravan.

Count Garp from Haishenli came over with his people.

Because they were old friends, Dumu Port let them go directly, and the earl took the cattle, sheep and team to approach the town of Pumexiu.

Lawrence waited under the Colossus with Garp's daughter Safi.

Garp's daughter Safi has been here for several months, serving and helping Lawrence as a nun, assisting Brielle and others in managing the territory.

Not only Safi, Lawrence also gave some rights to those international students and distributed them according to the musical instruments, tools, handicrafts and poems they produced.

Some became nuns, some became mint stewards, others became language priests, or sword masters.

Lawrence saw Garp, glanced at Garp, and then looked at the man next to Garp.

He was a young man much younger than Karp. He looked less than 30 years old, but he had a brown beard and even his hair was as brown as soil.

Garp quickly walked over to Lawrence and knelt down.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, great prophet."

Earl Garp, who had already believed in the Church of the Stars, and the Marquis of York, both recognized Lawrence's strong position.

Lawrence raised his hand, "Stand up and welcome you to this land of glory given by God."

"Yes, kind prophet." After Count Garp stood up, he introduced the man next to him with a smile.

"This is the first heir of our Hesenri Kingdom, Prince Augustin Hesenri, and next to him is his wife Perrin Lavdra, the princess of the Hokuriku Kingdom."

Both Augustine and Perrin bent over Lawrence.

"Greetings, the great Crowfeather Seer." The couple behaved very meekly.

The first heir is basically the next king if there are no accidents.

Haisenli is not powerful, with a population of just over 20, and most of the habitable land is on the hillsides and rivers near the coast.

Lawrence can fight in the Kingdom of Waves, so he can also fight in Haisenli.

As early as when there were only a few hundred people, Haisenli took the initiative to sue for peace and came over to do business.

Now that there are over [-] people here in Lawrence, and there is an Invincible Fleet, whether Haisen can exist or not depends on Lawrence's thoughts.

Relying on the strength here, it is not difficult to defeat the Haisenli Kingdom.

Lawrence took the initiative and said: "Welcome to your arrival, I have already set up a banquet to entertain you."

The Augustin couple smiled and thanked them, quickly put down their weapons as required here, and followed Lawrence into the church.

"Prophet, this time I have brought a thousand sheepskins, two thousand kilograms of wool, three hundred kilograms of medicinal materials, fifty slaves, ten cows, and twenty sheep. I hope you will allow us to join the Church of the Stars."

Augustine quickly expressed his feelings.

Lawrence nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I accept your wish to join the Church of the Stars and will bless you. At the same time, God will also bless your country. If anyone violates your kingdom, I will give him corresponding punishment!"

"And I will arrange for ships to patrol the coastal areas and eliminate those pirates who interfere with the normal business of the caravan!"

The Augustin couple received the prophet's assurance and completed the mission perfectly.

Lawrence needs someone to manage the land for him, and someone to implement various technologies to increase the population of the land.

The entire Western Kingdom has only a few million people in total. The 1 of them can no longer rely on war to plunder, and must rely on safer methods to obtain support from the surrounding areas.

As long as you give them money and food and obey the management, it doesn't matter whether it's the Kingdom of Haisenli or the Kingdom of the Stars.

After the population increases later, we will talk about other things. At this stage, Feiyu Port needs a stable environment to develop rapidly.

The purpose of attacking the Wave Kingdom was to prove that he was capable of protecting the younger brothers around him, but he could not always prove it. Although the attack on the Wave Kingdom was fruitful, more than 40 people died, most of whom died of illness at sea.

Fortunately, there was no storm this time. Lawrence had experienced storms and was very aware of the horror of storms at sea. After proving that he was capable of long-arm jurisdiction, he did not intend to continue.

Before playing, you can get a lot of benefits if you win.

Now after the battle, you can get the maximum benefits by placing the Armada in several nearby kingdoms.
