forest kingdom

"Snowing."

The soldier on duty next to the bonfire in the warm room casually said something to the person sleeping next to him. The person sleeping did not respond and continued to sleep soundly and loudly.

The soldier on duty tightened his coat, pushed open the heavy curtain and took a look at the world outside.

It was already late at night, and there were more than twenty homes with lights lit inside and outside the manor, and the cries of children could be heard from time to time.

In the past few days, more than a dozen families in the manor were about to give birth to children. The Prophet asked the nuns to stay in the original wooden house, and also took the woman who was about to give birth to live in the house.

Soon I heard another loud cry, the powerful cry of a newborn child.

Next spring, there will be many more children basking in the sun on the mountain.

More than a month later, the river in the north was completely frozen into ice.

Lawrence visited the manor, Oak City, Pumeishiu Town, Dumu Harbor, Flying Fish Harbor, and the Ice Harbor of the Valkyrie.

Gris found Lawrence. This little giant had burned off his hair during a fight a while ago. He also had some scars on his arms and face, and he looked particularly terrifying.

To Lawrence and the rest of the savages this was a badge of honor and valor.

Fortunately, Gris himself saw it this way, and other cowards and women did not dare to laugh at his appearance.

If someone is really so unruly, even if they are killed by Gris, Lawrence will not speak for them.

"Prophet!" Gris knelt down on one knee and saluted Lawrence, who was making a refrigerator with the foreign students and nuns.

Lawrence looked at Gris, "Get up, what's going on?"

Gris stood up slowly, bowed his head respectfully and said, "I want to go back to the tribe to have a look, and come back when Eternal Night comes."

"Okay." Lawrence had already made this arrangement, and had thought up all kinds of plans in advance. "The Viper Tribe has potatoes, peas, and pumpkins. You can bring back a hundred baskets of wheat and three barrels of vodka."

Gris said gratefully: "Yes, prophet!"

Lawrence is very satisfied with Gliss's men. These people can communicate, are willing to cooperate, and are strong enough.

In fact, according to the comparison of high-end combat effectiveness, the south is greater than the north.

The people of Snow Cave can't defeat the Valkyrie, the Valkyrie can't defeat the Sidel people, the Sidel people can't defeat the people of Telandaho City, and Telandaho City is no match for the south.

The barbarians can smash the southern kingdom, mainly because they have high mobility and can run away after fighting.

The Southern Kingdom is divided into many countries, and each country is also divided into many nobles, and organizations such as churches exist.

The church was happy for the barbarians to hack down disobedient kings.

Barbarians are actually very afraid of wizards, and this fear can be seen in various manifestations. Luofen III does not have the kind of leadership that makes barbarians fight to the death to attack wizards.

All along, they have actually been attacking weak chickens, constantly attacking residential areas that have no aristocratic power to defend, and only then attacking the aristocratic towns that have lost their wings when the battle is almost done.

The main reason is that the further south you go, the more you rely on collective strength. At the same time, individual strength is weakened. Without weapons and armor, and being enslaved, abused, and oppressed all day long, most people just want to run away and don't want to fight back.

Help the nobles who abused you to fight back and defend the barbarians?
The elites in the south are much stronger than those in the north. The problem is that these elites serve various nobles. They are very powerful in small-scale battles, especially when defending their own territory. However, if they assist other people's defense, their lives will be in danger.

In the event of a fight, the North's interest is to plunder wealth, population and food.

The interests of the South are many and complex.

There are many problems in the South. The main problem is the problem of the people in power, not the problem of race.

Princess Isabella of the Kingdom of Gran has always been interested in politics and military affairs.

After Gris left, Isabella took the initiative to talk to Lawrence.

"Prophet, you have sent 500 people out to attack Telanthoof City, and now you are asking your knights to leave. Is there no problem in Phumexiu Town?"

"There won't be any problems!" Lawrence said with certainty: "The remaining 2000 people here are enough to handle 2 people!"

Lawrence was very confident. The cold winter had been coming for a long time. At this period, the town of Pumixiu was impregnable and not afraid of the outside army at all.

Isabella reminded: "There are 10 people outside."

Lawrence doesn't think there are really 10 people outside. In this era, the methods of solving food, rebellion, and battles are relatively simple, which is to kill people.

Slaves are not considered human beings and can be consumed by ordinary people at any time.

Once you encounter a population problem, you will fight and kill people.

After sensing the food crisis that year, Lawrence ran away decisively, and it didn't take long for Luofen III to occupy the southern kingdom.

It is impossible not to die, and no one will keep statistics on how many people have died.Anyway, people will die. Whenever the population exceeds the upper limit, people will die. Deaths will stop when there is no food crisis and internal fighting.

Many of Lawrence's old friends died in Telland's Hoof City, becoming the price.

"It doesn't matter whether it's 20 or 2000." Lawrence looked at Isabella and the other international students, "Now we have more than 2000 people here. If I can fight more and more people from now on, from 4000 to [-] or [-] Man, that proves we are right.”

"Only a just war can be fought more and more!!"

"The city of Telanthoof looks crowded now, but in fact the inside is rotten. Just like a rotten tree, big holes will be exposed with a little external force."

"If you are fine, you can go outside and take a look. Every few days, people from Telland City will come to seek refuge with us! This is proof that we are a righteous party!!"

In fact, the prisoners of war who were released last time came back after traveling across mountains and rivers.

These people outside have no land, houses or livestock. In addition, if they surrendered during the war, they will become slaves after they return.

The people of the Luofen Kingdom despised those who surrendered, especially those who drank wine, ate meat and gnawed bread at the enemy's place. However, the noble heirs and a large number of elites died in Telanthoof City.

It is impossible to expect the barbarian nobles to sympathize with these traitors, and they have no intention of pretending to maintain their image. They don't even pretend.

It is not only a matter of distrust for these surrenderers who have returned to the country intact, but also a matter of anger, treating these people as slaves, and trying to extract losses from these people.

In this age and environment, the benevolent Lawrence is no boast, but a true beacon of light.

Even if their home was robbed by Lawrence, this group of people would still choose Lawrence between Pig Trotter City and Lawrence.

Who makes those in Pig Trotter City even less human...

Following Lawrence, at least everyone knew that they could quickly become a free man from a slave, and they could also live a good life that only nobles outside could enjoy through military exploits.

From joining Lawrence's side, even if they start as slaves, the family can live safely.

The two sides speak the same language, and the distance is not too far, and they have been communicating with each other for many years. Lawrence is very willing to accept those people. As long as Pig Trotter City does not stop them, or someone starts to escape, a trend will quickly form.

Isabella was a little skeptical of Lawrence's words, and spent the next few days walking around outside with other noble young ladies wearing winter clothes and driving sheep carts.

Soon these aristocratic international students discovered that it was just as Lawrence said.

A large number of refugee teams came from the south and fled to the local forces with their families and families.

At the same time, the 500-man troops of the Kingdom of Stars were divided into 25 groups, and one group of 20 people began to be active in coastal areas and inland areas.

Through the guidance of local people and escape teams, carry out fatal attacks on the tax collectors, noble guards, and patrol teams of Pig Trotter City.

When the angry boar army rushed over from the manor and military camp, these small groups had already fled.

This time, the people selected were not those who were good at naval battles, but those who could run fast, throw accurately, have strong endurance, and have quick minds.

Originally, I never thought about taking in too many refugees, nor did I think about fighting too fierce a battle. I thought that after being harassed for half a month, I would be able to come back in anger.

However, the results were unexpectedly good. With the blessing of long-term good food and winter clothes, the people on our side were very good at carrying out night attacks.

On the contrary, Pig's Trotter City couldn't find anyone with a pair of woolen pants and sweaters. They were attacked in the dark at night, and the governor couldn't control those slaves and cowards.

After the noble lord was attacked, the serf farmers under the nobles had no idea of ​​revenge against the nobles. Instead, they quickly fled to the Kingdom of Stars.

Pumexiu Town could not accommodate too many people for the time being, and these people were quickly placed in Nan Town, which was close to the Sidel territory.

Because grains such as wheat, rye, potatoes and peas were sent, and they were given two meals a day, these newly joined prisoners quickly built houses and built wooden sheds for the winter under the supervision of five hundred Durila warriors.

South, Northrim Kingdom, Quelazi City, Ancient Speaker Family Manor

Cassandra stood in her father's study and respectfully reported what had happened recently.

"Crowfeather Prophet ordered the Kingdom of Stars to attack the Kingdom of Luofen. Many nobles fled to the south for the winter. They did not want to fight the madmen of the Kingdom of Stars in the winter. Many of the remaining nobles of the Kingdom of Luofen were killed or injured."

"It is said that the soldiers of the Crow Feather Prophet have eyes like crows and can see people and insects at night. The wild boar legions of the Kingdom of Luofen cannot see anything at night. They hide in houses and caves and refuse to go out."

Opposite Cassandra, an old man around 70 years old was sitting there thinking about the news.

"It seems that his witchcraft is not only hidden and passed down, but also a group blessing."

Cassandra looked surprised, "Three kinds?"

Lentive said solemnly: "At least he should have these three abilities. This Crow Feather Prophet is very hidden, and his true strength will definitely not be weak."

Cassandra had always thought that Lawrence was an intelligent wizard who was actually not good at fighting. However, after discovering that Lawrence had hidden unfathomable strength, she immediately became even more in awe of the powerful man. (End of chapter)
