Spring has not yet arrived in the land of ice, and the news of the declaration of war from the Kingdom of Gran has spread to other countries.

Lawrence quickly came forward personally to appease those international students, saying that no matter what happened outside, he would protect these people and allow the international students to freely choose whether to leave or stay to appease these people.

Brielle said: "There are only a few nobles in the Kingdom of Glen, and the others are all Granites without noble titles. It would be great if Princess Isabella and Prince Richard were here."

"It doesn't matter, they can't decide anything even if they are here." Lawrence acted very casually, "The next step is to build the Ener Port on the Durila side, and establish a supply base there to form a military port."

Brielle asked: "Then who will be allowed to pass?"

Lawrence has already made arrangements, "Just let Larrick, Roman, and Kelda take the people there."

"Who are these people? I have never heard their names." Brielle couldn't remember who these people were.

The more famous warriors in the territory are Fleiss, Gris, Beow, and some of the Valkyries who can fight.

There are also a few familiar names on Si Deer's side, all of whom are known to be fierce generals.

Lawrence explained casually: "They are warriors selected from the mining area, agricultural and forestry area, and water port area. When I sent people to invade Telandaho City before, many small teams fought with the people from Telandaho City."

"Some people returned injured, and some relied on their combat command skills and strategies to defeat enemies two or three times more numerous than themselves."

"Don't worry that no one will use it." Lawrence said casually: "We have more people, and we have talents who can fight and command. The most important thing is to give them a chance to exercise and grow."

"Of course more importantly, a location."

It seems that Lawrence only has 50,000 or 60,000 people under his command. In fact, these 50,000 to 60,000 people are themselves young and middle-aged people who have been carefully selected.

Coupled with constant fighting and a good communication atmosphere, the number of prime-age men here actually exceeds the size of a county.

The miraculous effects of drugs and equipment have allowed more soldiers to come back alive from the battlefield. These people not only have combat experience themselves, but will also tell others about their combat experience.

When the food and salary are sufficient, the battle achievements are clear, and there is a trustworthy rear to ensure the safety and prosperity of their families, these soldiers only need a few veterans to lead them to focus on meritorious service instead of running away and wasting away.

Sariel knew every one of Lawrence's plans, but the three names Lawrence mentioned were still unfamiliar to her.

"Is this good? It always feels a little too simple."

Saryl always felt that Lawrence's decision was too arbitrary.

"Don't worry about it, I don't want to leave here at this time anyway." Lawrence said what he meant. He just didn't want to fight on his own. "It's not a good thing to have a large territory. It means we have to spread our strength, so we don't need to care so much about this new territory." territory."

"It doesn't matter even if it is occupied by others. It is a deterrent. If others attack here, it only means that they really want to go to war with us."

Sariel continued to find loopholes in Lawrence, "The Church of Dawn is preparing to attack us. Not only is it taking action, but it is also going to continue to take action. They don't dare to do it."

"Others are already beating us, why are you still talking about deterrence?" Salil looked at Lawrence and said something mindless.

Lawrence retorted: "No matter what happens to the Church of the Dawn, we must insist on development and construction, and at the same time collect more gunpowder from the territory!"

These words could not convince Salil, who felt that Lawrence's words today were full of loopholes and lacked the wisdom from before.

"What will we do if the Church of the Dawn attacks the land we just occupied, or even goes all the way to Feiyu Port?"

Lawrence replied: "Where did they get the confidence to go head-to-head with our Armada?"

"Our invincible fleet annihilated all the Holy Light Church's navy, and also destroyed the Kingdom of Waves. Even Durila this time, they should know how powerful our invincible fleet is."

"The Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of Waves have been at war with each other for decades. They have ways to protect themselves from small and large ships, so they are just defensive. Just because they dare to declare war does not mean they dare to attack."

"If it really doesn't work and you have to fight, then go ahead. I'm not afraid of this."

Lawrence spread his hands and shrugged casually.

Salil understood this time. She was thinking about what was going on. She looked at Lawrence and said, "Are you not afraid of them attacking us at all?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid at all, I don't care at all." Lawrence said honestly: "I don't want to fight and I'm too lazy to go out, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid."

There is still the protection of the cold winter here in the north. Even now, it is still winter. Unless those people can come over in summer and defeat the defenses of Dumu Port and Feiyu Port, they will not be able to defeat this place. There is no use coming here. Now there are 10,000 people in Feiyu Port and more than 5,000 people in Dumu Port. They are no longer the small places they used to be.

The barbarian captives in Telangta City and those captured in the last naval battle are now available. These people can quickly form an invincible fleet of ten thousand people.

Lawrence didn't want to be so tired, otherwise the huge war capabilities formed by these people would have occupied several nearby countries.

Under the guidance of Lawrence, they ostensibly sent people to build a military base in Ener Port. In fact, they still focused on developing agricultural industry and tried every means to contact the merchants and pirates of the Kingdom of Glen through various channels to sell private coal.

By the way, we are waiting for a new batch of saltpeter to emerge from the ground. We have used more than half of the gunpowder we finally saved last time, and now the gunpowder stock is not enough for a big battle.

Lawrence asked Alekmu to contact the land power of the Kingdom of Io, and was willing to establish an alliance with the Kingdom of Io. At the same time, he was willing to allow people from the Kingdom of Stars and the Church of the Stars to interact with the locals when doing business in the Kingdom of Io and entering the city. Tax.

In the past, the kings and nobles had always paid taxes to the church, but Lawrence's Church of the Stars was willing to pay taxes and handed over the right to collect taxes to the royal families of various countries.

Not only the Kingdom of Io, Lawrence also said the same thing to several other countries.

In the royal palace of the Hokuriku Kingdom

King Signar listened carefully to the man across the table.

"The prophet said: Whether we are believers in the Church of the Star or strangers who do not believe in us, as long as we build churches and operate activities on his territory, we should give one-tenth of the income from this area to Pay taxes.”

"That is to say, when we do business here in the future or receive donations, we will pay taxes to you. This is your right as the king."

Signer felt that his stiff body suddenly relaxed a lot, as if a pair of shackles that he had never discovered were suddenly released.

"The merciful prophet! I want to praise him! Praise this merciful prophet!" Signer stood up excitedly and said in the language of the Kingdom of Luofen: "The prophet is like my father, he gave me faith, Gave me the direction again!”

"Please tell His Majesty the Great Prophet that the Hokuriku Kingdom will always be an ally of the Kingdom of Stars, and the Signer family are also the most devout believers of the Church of the Stars!"

Signer said excitedly: "I will send a thousand people to support the port in the Kingdom of Stars. These people will go to Feiyu Port first and follow the instructions of the great prophet!"

Not only was the Hokuriku Kingdom willing to send troops to help, but the nearby Kingdoms of Haisori and Kogako also sent people to assist.

The Kingdom of Gran is in opposition, the Kingdom of Deco is waiting and watching, and the Kingdom of Green Forest is unwilling to participate.

The relationship between the Kingdom of Io and the church is relatively complicated, and it is also a bit far away from the Kingdom of Stars. It also chooses to maintain the status quo.

The outside world was turbulent, but Lawrence didn't care.

Before spring arrives in the frozen land, Lawrence's first child is born.

Twenty-three-year-old Lawrence became a father, and Delenn gave birth to a boy named Andersen in the bathroom tub.

At the moment of the birth of a new life, both Lawrence and Delenn had an electric connection with the child, just like the feeling that Khalan had for her daughter.

Although it is impossible to determine where the other party is, you can know whether he is dead or alive.

Lawrence picked up the bloody but healthy young baby from the bloody water, "It doesn't matter whether he is a wizard or a mortal. What we need here is people, whether they are ordinary or extraordinary, they can find a place here. "

Lawrence accepts the fact that wizards are stronger and smarter than ordinary people, but does not accept the way wizards are eliminated.

No matter what happened before, it comes to an end in this generation.

Delen's desire to raise offspring also disappeared, and he walked out of the bath with his hands on the stones.

"I'm hungry." Delenn spent too much energy and now feels very weak.

Lawrence quickly asked people to prepare meals. After discovering that Delen had no milk, he could only give the child some milk powder prepared in advance.

Salil grew up drinking goat's milk when she was a child. Descendants of wizards are much tougher than ordinary children. As long as they are not in danger, they will basically grow up healthily.

The villa soon became lively. Lawrence, who became a father, did not feel any heavy responsibilities, but felt that his whole body was relaxed.

There is no special ability for infertility. (End of chapter)
