Luoshanda looks after the house.

Sariel and Sophia are responsible for the housekeeping and internal accounting, and the supervision of livestock and grain and meat income and expenditure.

Delenn led the people of Clauda to burn the mountain cracked rocks.

Keharan researched herbs at home, while also making wine, vinegar and sauce with Navia and others.

I also went to plant a few trees when I had nothing to do, and laid the foundation for the viaduct in the future.

Lawrence began to busily clear the mountain road, trimming some of the steep detours to save time going up and down the mountain.

In addition to the people in the blacksmith and lumberyard, Leglow began to escort some of the wounded back to the Black Goat tribe.

The snow on the mountain has not yet melted, and the ice on the river has not melted, and it will be more than ten days before the snow and ice melt.

In addition to some of the women and children who stayed behind, many more followed them to the river to cut down dead grass and trees, and to build the river before the surrounding mud and plants became a nuisance.

The river is a way to pull boats, and when necessary, someone needs to stand on the edge of the river and pull the boat up.

The current river is not completely open, and the black goat tribe can only be reached by the road formed by the ice in winter, which is actually very difficult to walk after the ice melts.

Wild rivers are not naturally suitable for boating, and someone needs to widen the river and clear the obstructive trees and stones on both sides of the river to sail properly.

Lawrence had been blocked several times in his previous attempts to explore downstream, until the ice road appeared in winter, and he reached the Black Goat Tribe.

If it is near a river where people live, it will be much easier to walk, and humans are naturally creatures who are good at exploring outwards.

The town of Phumesius soon welcomed visitors, and ten barbarians armed with axes, machetes, and shields arrived under the Colossus.

Fryce looked up at the colossus in front of him, and then at the men and women in front of him who were kneeling on the ground praying to the colossus, and stood there with great interest.

Soon a good-looking woman walked here with the rest of the people.

Allie looked at the savages, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Fryce said, "The Ravenfeather Prophet told us to come here, we wanted to follow him to the West to make a fortune, and he said he was short of people here. ”

Al Ali looked around at the Boumetheus, "I've heard this, Brick, do you know him?" ”

Brick, the snow cave man, looked at Fryce carefully, and quickly said uncertainly, "They all look similar, I don't remember exactly." ”

Fryce quickly raised the knife in his hand, "This is the knife given to me by the Prophet, and it works very well." ”

The blacksmith stretched out his hand and said, "Show me, if I hit it, I will definitely know it." ”

Fryce threw the iron knife to the blacksmith.

The blacksmith caught it and quickly said, "It's the one I called the Prophet last year." ”

After confirming that these people were the barbarians recruited by the Prophet the previous year, Al Ali took them to the tavern and arranged for them to eat and drink, and arranged for them to light a fire and tell the people on the mountain to come down.

Lawrence, who was laying a wooden bridge over the mountain, soon heard the barking of dogs, and after looking around, he also saw black smoke in the distance.

The smoke is intermittent and not all the time, indicating that it is not an emergency or a danger.

However, since it is black smoke, it means that outsiders are approaching, and it is a bit troublesome.

Lawrence called out to Delen and Kehalan, and slid straight down the steep and sloping hill, saving more than half an hour of travel.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Brick was already waiting here in his sleigh.

With a combination of various emergency response mechanisms arranged in advance, it took less than an hour from the time Al Ali fired the fire to the time Lawrence reached the town of Phumixiu from the mountains.

If there are wheels and rails, or sling pulleys, this time can be reduced to less than half an hour.

Lawrence checked his armor and wore warm boar skin armor in his thick clothes, while his arms and legs were also tightly guarded, making it easy to attack and escape.

Lawrence, who was not armed, walked into the tavern with Keharlan and Delen, who were armed.

Behind Khallan and Deren were Clauda and the Phumisius, all of whom were the warriors that Lawrence had arranged.

Having been attacked by barbarians disguised as caravans, Lawrence was wary of the caravans and outsiders, and taught the townspeople how to quickly assemble in the event of an invasion.

Experience and inexperience, knowing how to do it and not knowing how to do it, the efficiency shown is two different things.

Fryce and the others, who were eating and chatting, saw Lawrence come in, and quickly got up and walked over and knelt down.

"Prophet! I have brought warriors loyal to you, as you commanded! ”

Lawrence nodded, "Very good, I'm going to send someone to the West in the spring, have you all decided this time?" Follow my orders and go to fight in the West. ”

Fryce turned to look at the others, and the nine men behind him all nodded.

"Yes, we are willing to do your bidding! Loot the treasure with you! ”

Lawrence slowly corrected when he heard this: "I won't go there myself this time. ”

"Yes." Barbarians understand very well, after all, most of the time someone has to watch from home.

Berserker-type leaders need to be at the forefront, and prophetic leaders like Lawrence are the ones who are protected from the rear, even in the barbarian system.

Barbarians look down on cowards and emaciated people, with the exception of prophets, sacrifices, witch doctors, etc.!

Lawrence continued: "I will arrange for you to be brought along, but you will listen to him, and if he thinks it is not appropriate to do so, then you will stop and follow his orders. ”

"If you come back empty-handed, I will compensate you with a portion from me, provided that you obey me!"

Fryce felt strange, but still resolutely agreed: "Yes, we have no problem. ”

Lawrence was satisfied: "Good! You rest here for three days, and then I'll arrange for someone to bring some food to your village and your family, and you can arrange for one or two people to follow and help show you the way. ”

Fleiss quickly said, "Thank you for your generosity, merciful prophet! ”

Lawrence said: "I will give you the opportunity to prove your bravery, you just have to wait, as for your family and children do not need you to worry, if anyone dies in battle, I will give your wife and children the wealth you have earned in exchange for your merits and hard work." ”

"I swear by the gods." Lawrence looked at the ten savages, "As long as you show courage and fighting spirit, you will be blessed by God, including your descendants." ”

Fryce and the others lowered their heads and said respectfully and solemnly: "Yes, we are willing to go to the land of honor!" ”

Lawrence is now on the same level as the Earl, and savages like Redbeard and Andrew will cooperate obediently when facing the leader.

Fryce and the others in front of him need to rely on Lawrence's ships and sailors to go out to rob, and they don't dare to challenge Lawrence's authority, so they are naturally easy to speak.

It looks well-behaved, but it's actually because Lawrence has shown great strength.

If it had been before, ten barbarians might have been able to loot the town of Phumethe.

In the current town of Pumixiu, men and women are strong and powerful, especially in terms of appearance, there is no such cringe temperament.

They don't look scared when they see hordes of robbers, and they don't run away in a panic.

Both men and women are the ones who have seen blood and killed people, and their bodies are generally much taller and stronger than ordinary barbarians.

Even if the Wakiri people came, they would be self-defeating in the face of this group of people who were well fed and strong, and who also had iron weapons and experience in fighting and resisting.

It is not the noble slaves who can be fed here, nor the civil aristocracy, but everyone!

If you can eat enough, you will have strength, and if you have knives, axes, spears, hoes, and shovels in your hands, you will have courage!

Lawrence soon arranged for the unpalatable little wild boar and grain raised by the Croda to be brought down from the mountains, as well as wine and winter clothes that did not need to be kept, and loaded them onto sleighs to be transported to the women and children of the barbarian villages.

Warm fur coats, clean flour, sweet fruit wine, fish and wild boar, and most importantly, shields and weapons, all greatly improved the quality of life of Fryss and his wife and children.

The day after the sledding team returned, the snow around the town of Bhumixiu began to melt, the roads began to become muddy, and the broken ice floes from the nearby rivers were pushed downstream by the flowing water.

The benevolent name of the Ravenfeather Prophet will sprout in this land, gradually taking root in every barbarian village.

Friesen acted as the guide, and took a few Durella and ten barbarians who wanted to go home, and drove the big ship to the Land of Hope.
