The Durella and the Pumisian have gotten along.

The Clauda, who occupy the missing noble class, have taken on the role of craftsmen, guards, and warriors when they join the estate.

At present, the three of them get along quite well, and they are slowly getting used to each other.

There are no internal contradictions, so there is already a basis for new members to join.

When Lawrence returned to the house, he began to make a map out of clay, laying out templates of nearby mountains and rivers on the floor, and placing flags representing the various gathering places.

Saliel and Sophia followed and walked back, also crouching or sitting on the floor watching curiously.

Sophia squatted and looked at it for a while, "Master, are we going to fight next?" ”

"Hmm." Lawrence gave a clear reply, "I am going to settle a group of people at the outpost near the Ugers, and the Black Goat tribe found this time is the best settler." ”

Sophia laughed: "They definitely don't want to be honest, just beat them." ”

Lawrence sighed, although he had made the relevant decision, he was always a little guilty about enslaving this group of people.

"We don't need too many people, as long as there are more than a dozen people willing to go over, the rest will still live in place, we need to have a supply point downstream."

Sophia was curious: "If you don't arrest the people of the Black Goat Tribe, what will you do to beat them?" ”

Lawrence pointed with a stick to the location of the lower reaches of the river.

"If they are unwilling to submit to us, they will fight until they are convinced."

"But if they are willing to submit, I will provide them with better potatoes and wheat, and I will reward them with some wine."

"It takes us twenty hours to reach the Black Goat Tribe, which is based on the fact that we are frozen on the ice and walk through the river."

"If you take a boat, you can get there in five or six hours, but if you go against the current, it will be a lot of trouble."

"This tribe is located on our periphery, and the main thing we have to do after the defeat is to control this place."

"I will arrange for some people to live in the manor, and I will also arrange for our people to go to this tribe to guard it, and use it as our main port to the outside world in the future."

Sophia asked, "Then if you give them food and wine to make them obedient, what else is there to fight?" ”

Lawrence said calmly: "There is a big difference between whether they listen to us or their own words. ”

Sophia thought for a few seconds, but still didn't understand.

Lawrence explained, "Do you think you can reason with a bunch of barbarians? Is the fist convincing, or is that little fur food business, or is the etiquette more convincing? ”

"Trade without the support of force is like walking on the ice that has just frozen, and it may fall at any time!!"

"Whether it is to develop oneself or to do business with others, what is needed is not civilization and reputation, but strength!"

"We show our strength, and others will not casually trap us, or casually rob our caravans."

There is no such thing as a peaceful rise, and if you want to rise, you will inevitably experience war.

The cake is so big, and if Lawrence himself does not occupy the surrounding territory and plant his own nails, then the aristocratic forces that began to expand inward after peace will hit the doorstep.

Lawrence also wanted peace, and he didn't want to think about so many troublesome things, but he was well aware of the reality of the situation.

"Once we have established a port downstream, we can develop water transport."

"When there are more people in the future, Dumu Village can also be engaged there, so that we can develop marine resources, such as endless fish and vegetables, as well as delicious seafood such as crabs, prawns, eels, tuna, oysters, etc."

Sophia looked expectant, "Then hurry up!" ”

***

A team of twenty pirates set out from the Sea of Ice, headed for the Western Kingdom, and then returned to the Sea of Ice.

The man at the head was a strong, bald man wearing leather armor with iron plates, and wood chip protectors resembling iron rings on both hands and feet.

"Lord Crete, the direction over there is the village of Dum, shall we go there?"

Crete hesitated, then looked at the Vakiri and the treasure on his ship and the two pirate ships behind him.

This time the Count asked them to fight the Pumitians, but Crete and the others went directly to the Western Kingdom to rob.

More than 20 people quickly plunged into the inland river of a western country with the help of two pirate longships, and followed the river where eels and other creatures were swimming and spawning, and inserted into the hinterland.

Then a group of people killed and robbed, and twenty people chased three or four hundred people around, grabbed a lot of things, and pulled a boat back by the way.

The people of the Western Kingdom were better to fight than the Southern Kingdom, and Crete fell in love with that land.

But the Bhumithes ......

If the town of Bhumisius, which had been conquered by Avari with a few men, Crete would have dared to go, and would have dared to take it with fewer men.

Now......

In front of a group of men, Crete felt a little cowardly if he went back like this.

"Let's go up and have a look!"

Crete left a few men to guard the loot, and this time there was not much to be robbed.

The boat was too small to carry women, and one or two women would quickly be killed on board, and it was easy to cause fights.

In addition to some food, there are some clothes, jewelry, iron pots, iron cans, helmets, shoes, turbans, iron tools, and the like.

However, if the city could be robbed in a planned way, and more men and ships could be brought with it, the booty would be much richer, and more livestock and grain could be loaded, as well as slaves.

Crete and the others don't need a guide, they just need to walk along the higher ground and easy to walk.

Soon the crowd saw the village of Dum, which was quiet and did not look like it was inhabited.

The group continued to approach the position of the Bhumishians, all armed with very good weapons.

"How strange is that mountain? So small. ”

When Crete heard his men talking, he looked at the hill ahead of him.

The hill was indeed a little strange, like a big tree.

Everyone quickly continued to walk forward for more than half an hour, and then gradually saw the "small peak" clearly.

Their speed became slower and slower, and when they got closer to the giant sculpture three hundred meters away, they finally saw the giant whose body was as big as a mountain!

"Giant!" When the Vakiri saw Lawrence's face, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to leave.

"Lord Crete! It's Golem! It's watching us! ”

Crete's heart was pounding, and no one told him there was this thing here.

"Let's go!" Crete quickly turned and ran out.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also hurried to follow, away from the terrifying stone giant.

Only half of his body is so tall that when he stands up, he can trample everyone to death with one kick!
