Mount Ugg has the most oak trees, and Lawrence came to the vicinity of Mount Ug.

"The oak trees here are our treasures, and they can be used to build castles, build ships, and conduct business."

Lawrence rode on the back of a sheep, examining his assets.

The climate of the north determines that many things cannot be produced in large quantities, and they are not suitable for the growth of many cash crops.

For example, after looking for two years, I didn't see ginseng Ganoderma lucidum, nor did I see He Shou Wu and rape flowers.

The cold zone also does not produce coconuts and corn, and there are no oil-extracting plants such as sesame peanuts.

The unique climate makes agriculture here very backward, and even if it develops, it will not be able to grow due to environmental restrictions.

Fortunately, there are also many primitive resources that have accumulated at least tens of thousands of years here, and selling the resources here can solve the initial dilemma.

The trees in the territory are divided into three levels, high-altitude, low-altitude, and flat-ground trees.

Oak trees prefer to grow at low altitudes, and Mount Ug is one of the lower elevations, with a maximum of a few hundred meters.

The location of the estate is higher, and the mountains here are divided into alpine belts, hilly plateaus, and flat depressions washed by snow-water streams that have lasted for an unknown number of thousands of years.

The location of the manor is on a hilly plateau, and most of the surrounding trees are coniferous forests at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, so it is very difficult to climb the mountain.

The location of the village of Wuge is more advantageous than that of the manor, and when you get here, you feel that the temperature has risen a few degrees, and even the sun is shining a lot.

Sophia rode on the big sheep and looked around, "Master, after we sell the trees here, isn't it good to build a house here?" ”

Lawrence replied, "It's not close to the river, it's not a big advantage from the town of Peumitheus and the blacksmith's, and most of our fields are on the estate. ”

"You can consider moving here, but there is no need to change, it is more suitable for planting trees and for a small number of people to live."

The old knight was not here, and Lawrence placed them at the midpoint of the straight line between the town of Peumitheus and the manor, outside of which the village of Ug was.

Sophia asked, "Then just let Khallan plant oak trees in our place, and we can always sell oak trees in the future!" ”

"There's no need, it's not good for us to have too much of a monolithic industry, and we have a lot of ways to get wealth from the outside world compared to an asset like an oak," Lawrence said. ”

"Is there one?" Sophia didn't think about it for a while.

Lawrence smiled, "It's almost time to go back, Fryce they should be there." ”

Sophia looked at the oak grove ahead, turned her sheep's head and followed Lawrence down the mountain.

"It's not surveyed yet, is it?"

"No, I've taken a rough look, it's enough for a hundred years, and now there are too few people out there to spend our oak trees."

"Oh."

Sophia roughly understands that there are not many people who buy it, and they don't need these pieces of wood every day.

Sophia followed Lawrence, "Twice a year, twenty or thirty at a time, I feel like I'll never finish digging up the oak trees on both sides of the road, and they haven't grown fast yet!" ”

Lawrence thinks so too, and the current resources simply can't be sold.

There are also pine trees that are also sold, and some pine oil is collected for outside merchants to use for shipbuilding.

Although these pine oils are not very effective, they are still much stronger than nothing.

In order not to be deceived by the outside world, and in order to better understand the prices and general situation outside, Lawrence still has to have his own caravan.

It is not possible to close the country to the outside world, and only by keeping an eye on the outside world can information and technology be strong.

Lawrence soon returned to the town of Peumitheus.

The barbarian, who was lying on the steps of the plaza near the Colossus, was sitting in the sun.

"The Prophet is back!"

With a low cry, the rest of the barbarians who were sleeping or grazing quickly looked over to the other side of the intersection.

After determining that it was Lawrence, Fryce and the others quickly stood together.

This time, in addition to Fleiss, there were more than twenty men.

These people were old and young, some wore sheepskin clothes, some were bare-bottomed, and a few were improvised straw skirts made of branches and leaves.

Only the barbarians in the winter will wear clothes, and in the summer most of them are relatively simple.

The reason why I think that most of the barbarians wore clothes before was because these people were robbers and could rob clothes from the dead.

In fact, most of the barbarians live a hard life, and only Andrew and some of the few who occupy good places live a good life.

The Pumixiu fought several times, and each time they killed someone, they had to strip off each other's clothes and wear them themselves.

It's the same on my own side, after a person dies, unless it is a person with a high status, the clothes must be left for the heirs, and then gradually two pieces of clothing per person.

It's not that there is an abundance of goods, it's that the population is declining, and resources are concentrated on the living.

Except for Doug's time, basically all the people who died died at their own doorstep, including all kinds of outsiders and passing beasts who sent equipment to flying corpses.

In the kingdom of the barbarians, the closer to the south, the more resources there are, and the more miserable life becomes, but few people can wear clothes.

Lawrence was like this in the first place, he only ate eggs and meat here in the north, and he couldn't eat enough to eat after working hard all day in the royal city of the south.

"Prophet!" Fleiss took the lead in kneeling, raised his head and said, "I'm here with a valiant warrior to fight for you!" ”

Lawrence raised his whip and pointed at the crowd, "These people don't even have clothes, how can I trust their bravery?" ”

After the undressed men were pointed out, they were very embarrassed and scared.

Fryce said seriously: "When it comes to boarding, I will arrange for them to rush up first, and if they retreat, I will kill them!" ”

Lawrence nodded, "I trust your promise, but I trust my own judgment more. ”

Lawrence controlled the Dom sheep who wanted to walk away with one hand, and pointed at the men with the other.

"God will not let people die in vain, I will give you weapons and clothes, and you will rush to the front to prove your worth when you go to sea to fight this time."

"If you're afraid, go back now, and I'll allow you to leave alive."

Several unclothed people looked at each other, and soon an unclothed old man bypassed the crowd and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Fryce quickly got to his feet, and his heavy, majestic body spun violently, throwing a sharp axe at the old man's head.

Saliel quickly drew her axe, thinking that Fryce was going to hit Lawrence, but she didn't expect to hit the old man.

Without thinking too much, Salil threw her axe at Fryth's axe.

If she had known that she was killing the person who had escaped, Sariel would not have done it at all.

Bang!

The two axes collided and struck together near the old man.

Although it didn't hit the old man, it scared the man to the ground.

Seeing this, Lawrence said: "I allow him to leave alive, and the rest of the people who don't want to fight, or calm down and find that being a coward is more cost-effective than dying in battle, can also leave now, and I allow you to leave alive." ”

This time no one left, in fact, I thought about it for a long time at the beginning and made a decision, and I saw a real cow here.

The cattle in the town of Phumixiu gave hope to Fryce and the others.

Especially the last time Lawrence kept his promise, Fryce was willing to be loyal here.

The rest of the people had already promised these things when they were drinking, but they didn't expect that old man to betray everyone!

"Very well, now come with me, and I'll give you clothes and weapons, and tell you what to do this time."

"That's right." Lawrence thought of something, "As last time, I will provide your families with food and wool for heating, Fryce, and arrange for two men to go to your village with our servants, and tell your men how to distribute these supplies." ”

"Yes." Fryce bowed his head respectfully, "Please allow me to go back, and I will arrange this matter." ”

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, but you have to come back as soon as possible, we will be leaving soon." ”

Lawrence soon led his men into town to arrange things, while Fryce went about some personal matters.

Even though everyone knew that Fryce was going to kill the old man, no one interceded with him.

Here in the north, the faint-hearted will be humiliated, the brave will be respected, and those who do not want to go to sea to make a fortune will either die or remain slave serfs for the rest of their lives.

Lawrence is also aggressive, but instead of pursuing pure violence and brutality, he wants to maximize the benefits.

Just as Lawrence was discussing where to make his fortune this time, a team from Pig's Trotter City approached.

There are more than 100 people in this army, and they don't seem to be good people, and more than a dozen people are riding wild boars that are close to 1.67 meters.

After Fryce hacked the old man at his feet to death, he looked at the approaching robbers with an axe in both hands.

Whether it is a robber or not, an experienced robber can tell at a glance.

Fryce slowly retreated, he was now only more than two hundred meters away from the town of Phumetheus, and the colossus behind him was clearly visible.

Fryce wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to die here either.

Knock knock!

Sure enough, an alarm rang in the rear, and a large bell made of bronze was runged.

Before Lawrence could get out of the tavern, a group of Clauda and Pomithean warriors gathered in front of the Colossus with weapons and shields.

It was supposed to be 100 against one, but the situation quickly turned into a close battle.

More and more warriors came out of the village, and when Fryce retreated into the shadow of the Ravenfeather Giant, he suddenly became arrogant, straightened his waist and opened his arms and shouted, "Come! Come towards me! ”

The troops on the opposite side were clearly not caravanserais, all of them were armed and gradually dispersed, raising their shields against this side.

Lawrence quickly led the people out, and after seeing the obvious regular legion of the Lofen Kingdom on the opposite side, he quickly said: "Give Fryce and the newcomers weapons and shields!" ”

"Brick, call everyone down!"

"Yes!"

Brick quickly went over to light the fire, shouting with smoke and dog barking.

Keharan didn't follow to inspect the territory today, he drank and slept in the town in advance, and at this time he ran over by himself without notice.

Fleiss's accomplices soon gathered.

The villagers handed shields and axes to the warriors in front, and a large number of young warriors climbed onto the nearby elevated platform, or to the arms of the Colossus.

The commander of the Boar Legion was an earl, and the two sides soon began a long standoff to see who would run first.

The Count, dressed in leather armor and cloak, saw that the group of savages did not run away, nor did they beg for mercy or cry, and immediately felt provoked!

"Attack!" The obese Earl of Steele gave the order to attack, "Kill these rats!" ”

When Lawrence heard this, he also ordered:

"Fryce! Go around behind them! ”

"The slings start projecting! Hit a crowded place! ”

"Women, hurry up and move the barrage from the warehouse, and the rest of the people put the stone-throwing stone in front of the Colossus, and get out of there at once, and get out of the way!"

Five large wild boars and more than fifty savages rushed quickly.

Fryce ran to the side with the man.

When Count Steele saw these people fleeing, he smiled disdainfully, "Let's go!" Rush it all! ”

It's just a village of four or five hundred people, and it's not an opponent of the Invincible Legion at all.

Kill them, take their women and treasures.

Boom!

One stone hit the charging knight, and then the second! The third one!

Sixty or seventy fist-sized stones flew out and struck the running barbarians and the big boars, on their fangs.

These high-speed impacting stones quickly broke the heads of more than a dozen barbarians without helmets and bled their heads.

More than a dozen barbarians fell in one round, and even five wild boars could not stand the impact and let out a wail.

When the ferocious boar and the barbarian, accustomed to death, were wounded and continued to charge, a second round of stone-throwing was ushered in a few seconds later.

After going down this time, there were only more than twenty elite soldiers left in the Luo Fen Kingdom, and at this time, standing more than ten meters away from them with axes and hoes and spears, was a group of excited barbarians.

This is something they have not encountered before, they have always been barbarians who chase others and cut them, and it is rare to encounter such people who will take up arms and aim them on the spot.

In the past, I met a single person, after all, there are people in this region and the southern region who will take up arms to resist, but it is rare for hundreds of people to participate in the army or tribe in the resistance.

Under the complex and dense stone casting, the robbers of the kingdom of Loving soon died in large numbers, and even the wild boars fell in three.

When the last few robbers who were lucky enough to run over, they turned and fled in panic.

The barbarians who rushed up did not encounter the walls and wooden fences, but the shields of thorns formed by the crowd!

When they encountered the mounds of earth and wooden fences of the city walls, they were brave enough to climb up.

But upon encountering this wall of thorns formed by humans armed with weapons, these robbers developed fear.

Behind Count Steel, a man in a cloak looked at the colossus in front of him, and then at the young man three hundred meters away.

"We were deceived, that man is not a wizard, he is a useless mortal!"

Count Steele quickly said, "Use your magic to kill him!" ”

The Raven Bringle said, "Good! Crow, go peck out his eyes! ”

Hundreds of crows flew up from the car behind the Raven Bringer, and then flew towards Lawrence in a dense group.

When Lawrence saw a crow flying over there, he knew it was a wizard from the Southern Kingdom.

"Kill these little crows from the south!" Lawrence decisively gave the order to splash dirty water first.

The people of the manor don't kill crows because they can't tell which kind of crows they are, in fact, every time they go to sea, they catch crows as guides, especially when the Durella people open up the forest wasteland, they often kill those little crows.

After making sure that these crows were not prophets, everyone would not be afraid of these birds.
