Chapter 41: The Way Out

The cruel environment made most of the barbarians who were not nobles more willing to go outside and get rich.

This is the reality of being forced to be helpless, just like the barbarians who once came out of the mountains and forests, and gradually lived a better and stronger life than before.

Lawrence said calmly: "I am thinking of going to the West to make a fortune, but this kind of thing does not require too many people. ”

Fryce was a little disappointed, "Yes, I heard that it was easy to grab things there, we didn't know the way, we didn't have boats, and we couldn't find nobles willing to take us there. ”

Ice longships require craftsmen, and going to sea requires navigators who are familiar with the weather, plus various issues of preparation and familiarity with the terrain, as well as various risks that may be encountered at sea.

Even here in the kingdom of Rofen, not everyone knows how to sail, and everyone can rub a ship with their hands.

Lawrence saw that these people had the idea of making a fortune, and said, "I'll arrange for people to go out in the spring." ”

"If you want to join in, I will have to choose a portion of the loot you bring back at that time, as a reward for your use of my ships and the ones I have taken to the West."

Fryce said decisively: "Yes! I promise you! ”

Lawrence looked nearby, "Then it's up to you to tell the news of me to the nearby villages, and I welcome warriors who want to pursue honor to play for me." ”

"If anyone wants to work for me, when he joins my village, I will give him food equal to his weight to feed his family."

"At the same time, his family can also get my blessing when they want to come."

Fryce said, "Good! I'll do it. ”

Lawrence felt that it would be better for the locals to inform them of some things, so he said to Brick, "Leave them two bags of flour, a barrel of wine, and two iron knives." ”

Lawrence looked at Fryce, "These are the rewards you have for doing things for me, and you can share them with those who want to work for me, or you can share them with your people." ”

Fryce and the people behind him looked shocked, they didn't expect Lawrence to be so generous with food and wine.

This kind of thing is something that no one else can do at all, and it's the first time they've encountered it when they've grown so big!

Fryce said loudly, "Lord Ravenfeather Prophet, please rest assured, there will be brave warriors to serve you!" Including me! ”

Lawrence smiled, "My village welcomes friendly people, and you can come and exchange valuable things, there is plenty of wine and food, as well as clothes and playing cards. ”

"Oh, I almost forgot." Lawrence asked, "Do you know how to play cards?" I can give you two, you'll need to buy them later. ”

Fryce quickly said, "I heard about this last year, and I know people who can play!" ”

Lawrence presented him with playing cards, and then did not stay overnight again, and soon returned the way he came.

The trip that was originally scheduled to be a month ended early.

On the way back, Delenn and Lawrence rest together in an abandoned hut on the road.

Delenn leaned against Lawrence's body and asked, "Can you believe what that Fryce said?" ”

Lawrence looked at the quiet night outside, and said softly, "Yes, the barbarian is most afraid of being trapped in the village. ”

"Those nobles have their own knights and retinues, and they also have their own troops and ships, and such things as this kind of wealth will not take those untouchables with them."

"The big ships and the maps are in the nobles and lords, and now this part of the robbery to the south will be killed by Lorfen III and the lord of the manor on the road, and there will be no work to the city of pig's trotters."

"They are accustomed to going to sea and robbing to make a fortune, and without us taking them out, they will either go crazy and die on their own, or they will plunder nearby villages and be suppressed and executed by the lord."

There is only one way out for the barbarians, get out!!

Whether it's robbery or business, or doing work for someone else, in short, you have to go out and get out of this cruel place.

The local cultivation technology is not enough to support a large population, coupled with a strong social atmosphere, resulting in the ambition of most people to make a fortune.

Farming is something that only people who have no skills can do, and only serfs can farm obediently.

These people are afraid of death, but they are not afraid much, they cannot bear poverty, and they do not want to endure hardship.

The poorer and hungrier they are, the stronger their murderous intent becomes.

Delenn asked, "Aren't you going to do business with the Western Kingdom?" ”

Lawrence said, "Yes, I will send the Durella back to their hometown, and when the time comes, let the Friesen take these people to loot outside of Durella." ”

"Since they are interested in cattle, let's go to the richest kingdom of Glen, where there are cows that they and we need!"

The invasion and raiding of the barbarians will hasten the union of the Western Kingdoms.

Just like the southern kingdom in the past, it was also scattered, but after the barbarians fought it, now the southern kingdom has formed an alliance, not only stabilizing the kingdom of Noble in the kingdom of Northenri, but also controlling the barbarian king from all angles.

The alliance of the West has long been established, what is missing is a threat from outside.

External threats will make the alliance work quickly and try to find a peaceful solution.

Without this threat, the more powerful the kingdom is, the less it wants to let the smaller countries around it rise up, and it will only make all kinds of stumbling blocks.

With this threat, the nobles near the port will unite to exert pressure and force the nations to unite to deal with the barbarian threat.

The barbarians are not afraid of war at all, even if the alliance army of the Western Alliance came to the icy sea and went around in a big circle to fight the city of pig's trotters, it was only their nobles' own business.

Barbarians don't care about this, they can form a pirate team with more than a dozen people to go out and make a fortune, and they don't care about any harm to their country and nobles.

The special situation in the north determines that as long as the Western Kingdom is hurt, the nobles over there will pay tribute and make peace, and even take the initiative to fund this side to suppress those barbarians who have nothing to go out to rob.

This is how the Southern Alliance controlled Lofen III, and through Lofen III and some of the barbarian lords, they controlled the barbarians to the south.

If the Western coalition wants to live in peace, it will definitely find someone who can talk to the Vakiri and the barbarians.

Lawrence leaned against the warm sled dog behind him and looked at the quiet fire in the room.

"My opponent is not the Western Kingdom, nor the Rofen Kingdom, but Redbeard."

"If Redbeard can resist the barbarian attacks, or simply reduce the death toll in some places, and extort coastal ports in exchange for the Wakiri retreat, then others will definitely support him."

Lawrence sighed.

If you want to gain the right to speak and support, you can't just rely on mutual benefit, you must show your strength.

After all, those people in the Western Kingdom are also pirates per capita, and they will also rob weak countries and ports.

Everyone is a barbarian, and they all believe that the fist is everything.

If they didn't attack the Western Kingdoms, the nobles wouldn't believe they had the power to bring peace.

To fight, to fight hard.

Fight a part, win over a part, and accept the surrender of a part!
