Chapter 133: Foothold
News came from the north, Naborand was dead, Sambiland was dead, and in just half a year, the third and fourth largest countries in the Eastern Continent had quietly disappeared.
At the foot of Wangxiang Mountain, Ferdorus is still hidden between dense forests and verdant countryside, and people live in wooden houses, surrounded by green mountains and green waters.
But this leisurely life was like the calm before the storm, and King Glabe of Ferdorus was so worried that he had to be prepared for danger in peace.
After all, the total area between the extinct Sambiland and Fodorus was only between Neo-Mingu and Miluo, and the total area of these two small countries together was less than half that of Sambiland.
It's always rainy these days, and that's the weather in Verdorus every year in late spring and early summer. Grave frowned slightly, looked thoughtful, and didn't answer right away.
He slowly sat down beside Thyus, picked up the tongs, and stirred the firewood from the stove to make it burn more vigorously to drive away the moisture from the house.
Although they are the kings of a country, their families are no different from ordinary civilian families, and they are self-sufficient in all food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
There was no such thing as aristocrats, everyone was of common origin, and it was usually only when there was a big event that the famous people from all over the world would gather in their homes to discuss together.
At the end of the war thirty-five years ago, Fodorus had already joined the army, because by then they had already understood that it was better to be self-reliant than to pray for protection.
There is a small peninsula in the southeast of the Eastern Continent called the Verdorus Peninsula. Verdorus is the youngest nation in the Eastern Continent and the smallest in territory, and even the second-to-last Amalander is more than four times larger.
However, Ferdorus is one of the wealthiest countries in the Eastern Continent, and unlike the rich military powers such as Herilandi or Nuland, Ferdorus is rich in its natural resources.
The country is full of forests, pastorals and pastures, and is the only country in the Eastern Continent that has not experienced food shortages since the declaration of independence.
After a long pause, Gregor sighed slowly: "Most of the northern countries are ambitious and murderous, and most of the southern countries are selfish and gentle. "Thirty-five years ago, Gulliver, who was thirty years old at the time, was just an ordinary commoner in Ferdorus.
After Duruland decided to abandon the Ferdorus Peninsula and withdraw his troops from the border to concentrate his forces to protect the capital, in order to prevent the Ferdorus people from becoming slaves of Milo or Neo-Mingu, Glever led more than 30,000 civilians of Ferdorus to resist.
This battle for the defense of the city, which began at the end of 1318 in the Lepelian calendar, lasted for more than a year, and was finally won at the beginning of 1320.

Perhaps it had something to do with his unpleasant experience as a child, but subconsciously, Titis seemed to like plants more than people.
He had a special talent for discovering wild plants in the land that were worthy of domestication and cultivating them into crops of higher practical value, thereby expanding production...... To be honest, the fact that Ferdorus is where he is today is due to this child.
Since the age of twelve, Cindy has loved to explore the small land of Ferdorus, looking for all kinds of edible plants.
To this day, even Glever could not count how many new crops the child had domesticated for Ferdorus.
Thirty-five years ago, however, in 1320 of the Lepelian calendar, Ferdorus was a peninsular city in the southern coastal nation of Dululand.
As a result of the war, Miluo in the northeast of Duruland and Neo Mingu in the south gradually annexed the narrow strip of land that had been connected between Duruland and Verdorand in the early years, and since then, Verdorus and Duruland have been geographically separated.
For the nobles of Duruland, perhaps, it was a bit of a pity, but for the people of Verdorus, it was a lucky start.

He rubbed his cold hands, took a cup of hot water from his father, and drank it before his body finally warmed up.
It's almost summer, but when it rains, it still feels a little cold, especially in the low-lying mountains.
At that time, when Miluo joined forces with Xinmingu to invade the northeastern region of Dululand from the south and north at the same time, the city of Verdorus, located in the northeast corner of Dululand, asked for support many times, but the nobles of Dululand believed that in terms of the war situation at that time, it was the most important thing to concentrate their forces to protect the capital.
While it would be a shame to abandon the Verdorus Peninsula, it was a matter of dividing the forces that could lead to defeat on both sides, with the bustling capital populated by the aristocracy and the impoverished mountainous area populated by the commoners being more than the other.

It's almost summer, but when it rains, it still feels a little cold, especially in the low-lying mountains.
In the event of a war between the three superpowers, such as Geeland in the north, Herilandi in the center, and Nuland in the south, will inevitably affect the entire Eastern Continent, not to mention the aliens who have reappeared.
At that time, Verdorus, who is in a safe corner, will probably not be spared. The people of Ferdorus were confident in resisting the invasion of small states such as Miluo, Xinmingu, and Duruland, but they were unable to escape the flames of war from the three great powers......
"Father, I heard that the countries in the north have begun to prepare for war. Since the news that Modo had brought back to the north a few days ago, people can now be heard talking about it everywhere they go. Isn't it time for us to start preparing?" said Titus, looking up at his father, expecting an affirmative answer.
A voice from the door broke Grave's musings, and he looked back to see that it was his adopted son, Tish.
Twenty-two-year-old Thanis had short, slightly curly brownish-red hair, a whitish scar on the left side of his forehead, large light brown eyes, and a few small freckles on his cheeks.
At this moment the young Lotus was standing under the eaves outside the door, taking off his drizzle-soaked coat, hanging it on the hook of the outer wall, and taking off his boots with wet mud, and then he ran into the house and sat down by the fire.
Located on the southeast coast, in a temperate zone close to the tropics, with hot, dry summers and mild and rainy winters, Verdorus has a unique climate and diverse topography that gives the peninsula a wide variety of wildlife, providing its inhabitants with a wide variety of plants and animals that can be domesticated into crops and livestock.
The harvest season varies from highland to lowland, so residents can sow or harvest seeds almost all year round, depending on the terrain.
It is the unique biodiversity of Ferdorus that provides the industrious people with an abundance of agricultural products and a well-fed life.
