Chapter 111: The Barbarian King
"Master, Count Vakiri promised alliances and trade."
Fryce came to the manor and reported the results of this outing.
Deren was curious: "He just agreed so easily?" ”
Lawrence had long thought about this kind of thing, "He's either shopping with us or accepting our kindness." ”
"The city of Tranda's Hoof won't help him, and I've joined Count Stahl here, and it's wisest for him to join us."
"But you killed his daughter, the last one!" Saliel reminded! ”
"You can't think of him from your perspective." Lawrence explained: "He's not Andrew, he's not me, this guy isn't the kind of guy who values family, he's a cold-blooded ruler. ”
"Even if it is an ordinary person, after the husband is killed, the wife and children are robbed, how many people are willing to take revenge at all costs, with the idea of ending up together?"
Sariel frowned, unable to understand, but she felt that this kind of thing might be really common.
The Count's compromise was very normal, he did not have the strength to win this side in the first place.
When Lawrence only had a few hundred people, the Vakiri people didn't dare to come over, but now there are more than a thousand people here, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the Vakiri people are getting fewer and fewer because of the Earl's suppression.
Delenn looked at Lawrence, "You already knew he was going to choose like this?" ”
Lawrence naturally said, "Isn't this an obvious thing? How long has his daughter been dead? What do you see moving on to him? ”
This time everyone understood.
"I remember that I took the slaves back from the village of Kur before, sent them back to the village of Kull, and arranged for a few more people to go over and clean up the house."
Lawrence looked at the silent Reglow, "Leglow, you led ten people there to provide protection, and by the way, establish contact with the former Vakiri, and now the Count will not touch you." ”
Reglo said respectfully, "Yes, master." ”
Lawrence was about to arrange something else when Leglow suddenly said, "Master, Earl of Wakiri's wife Olaua, knows how to read, and she is now Vakyri's heir. ”
Lawrence nodded, "I know this, don't worry about it for the time being, just establish trade relations with there for now, the main thing is to set up a camp in Kul Village as soon as possible." ”
Delenn asked, "Didn't all the heirs of Vakiri be killed?" ”
Lawrence explained: "The wife also belongs to the heir, and if the Count is dead now, then the heir of Vakiri is his wife. ”
"According to the rules of the kingdom, as long as this woman can pay taxes and serve in the army, then she has the legal right to inheritance."
"If she wants to control the territory, she has to pay enough taxes to the king, and if she wants to get enough money, she needs someone to work for her, so she will probably hook up with the knights below, which is one of the reasons why the earl wants to kill his knights."
"We don't need to worry about this kind of thing, whether the Count or his woman is an Earl, they will cooperate with us, and our contact with that woman now will only make the Count more wary of us."
"For me, it is more appropriate for a woman who does not know the details of the head of the Vakiri to be an earl, and I need a complete Vakiri."
Vakiri is violent, and women taking over the place will only lead to endless fighting and inability to convince the public.
Either one is a bit good for this side, but for now it's better to be stable.
Reglo understood Lawrence's arrangement, and soon went down the mountain with Fryce and the others to arrange things.
After Reglo and the others left, Lawrence said to several witches: "Kur Village is too far away from us, we must become strong as soon as possible, first of all, we must establish a stable weapons production workshop and reclaim a stable food logistics base." ”
"It's not easy to be attacked in the mountains, and it can be used as a vegetable and fruit processing base."
Sariel asked, "What about the castle?" ”
Lawrence replied earnestly: "Wait a while, creating a castle near the Great Oak will destroy the landscape there, we can build a large wooden house, and then when other witches join in, we will slowly expand the place." ”
"That's right, we're going to make a wooden house next year," says Loshanda. ”
Since they had never lived in a castle, several witches who had lived in a cottage found it better, especially Deren and Loshanda.
Saliel also didn't live in the castle, but had heard Sophia and Kehalan say something about the castle.
Lawrence actually wanted to make gunpowder more than a wooden house.
It would be nice if there was sugar, but unfortunately this is the cold zone and you can't find sugar cane.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight to the south and occupy more resource-rich land, otherwise a group of people will die in this place sooner or later.
To the south, instead of attacking the lands of Count Stead and the Kingdom of Rofen, it is to educate the population of some forested areas in the south, and then follow the river to rule the borders of the Kingdom of Rofen.
Take advantage of the fact that the Luofen Kingdom is still in chaos now, hurry up and strengthen yourself.
The premise of doing business is to have its own military strength to rely on, otherwise it is a fat sheep.
Now no matter whether the Luofen Kingdom fights the Western Kingdom or not, many nobles in the Western Kingdom will spread the richness here, so that more Western nobles will notice themselves here.
Some of them will come to do business, and some of them will be robbed.
Everybody is a barbarian!
Jurisprudence, relying on fists!
Lawrence was thinking about things even when he was sleeping.
You can't get gunpowder from this place, but the trebuchet should be fine.
In fact, there can also be a very simple way, which is to erect a colossus on the shore and push it down when others approach, and dozens of people can be killed at once.
Do you want to build another Colossus?
Lawrence thought about it and found that it was still the Colossus that was the best deal.
As long as this thing stands on the seashore, it can exert great power.
Especially since the establishment of Wonder No. 1, it has really made a lot of contributions.
Without Wonder One, there would probably be several more battles in the territory.
It was useless to think so much, Lawrence quickly decided to give it a try.
When the snow falls, explore down the river, pull the people out of the camp for exercise, and expand the land that is more suitable for living.
Lawrence began to look forward to the snow, and settled some things in the territory.
At the junction of the town of Peumitheus, Lawrence sees Beoff off.
Beoff was joined by the people who had previously traveled to the Trollis of Tranta, who had traveled back and forth between the two places several times.
"Beoff, give him a gift from me, some spices, and wine, as you pass through Count Stead's domain, and tell him for me that I need some men to help me deal with the beasts in the lower reaches of the river lately."
"If there are young people or knights who have nothing to do, they can send me here to train, and I welcome those noble heirs to come and train."
"When you arrived at Trantahoof City, you also conveyed my kindness to Trantahoof City, and sent a message to the owner of the Golden Oak Bakery in the city on my behalf, telling him about my situation here, and asking him if he would like to come and open a bakery."
"Also, I'll write down a few addresses, and you can ask these people if they'd like to come."
Lawrence knew a lot of people in the city of Tranta's Hoof, all of whom knew how to farm or how to make craftsmen, but he should have died a lot in five years.
Beoff carefully remembered Lawrence's commission, and soon led the group out of the town of Peumitheus and began a long journey.
Lawrence's subordinates are still very few, and it is not for Helen to contact the bakery, in fact, Sophia is much more beautiful than Helen.
This time, the main thing is to absorb the old tribe of the Southern Kingdom and absorb Sophia's people.
Of course, if you can do it, if you can't do it, then you don't need to contact them, these people are used to a peaceful life and don't want to be disturbed.
Lawrence turned to Andrew and said, "Everyone, get ready, I plan to train the young people here, and take you downstream to find tribes that don't belong to us to conquer in a few days." ”
When Andrew heard this, he said strangely: "Since you want to practice, why don't you go to the West to practice?" ”
Lawrence felt strange, "It's winter, and if you go out at this time, it's very risky." ”
"The stronger the wind and waves, the more exciting the battle!" Andrew smiled and said, "Let's go straight to the wind, grab it and come back!" ”
Lawrence originally felt that winter was not suitable for robbery, and he was already very industrious in two crops a year.
But Andrew's proposal made Lawrence discover that it was actually possible to go out in winter.
In the winter it is a north-westerly wind, and in the winter the sea is relatively calm, the only problem is that it will be very, very, very cold on board!!
To the people of the North, especially the Vakiri, this is nothing.
After all, they are extremely talented ice warriors, and these people are actually very good at snow combat, especially in winter naval battles.
In winter, even a few degrees above zero in the West can make the hands of a group of thinly clothed paupers and knights in iron armor shiver.
Westerners who have never suffered are weaker when they encounter pirates in winter than in spring, summer and autumn.
"Yes!" Lawrence quickly made up his mind, "Send someone to inform the Vakiri and Count Steel, and ask them if they dare to go out with us and make a fortune!" Fuck it!! ”
Fryce and Andrew quickly got their blood pumping.
"Fuck !!"
"Kill!!"
Lawrence clenched his fists and went around in a big fucking circle, it turned out that the most fucking path was still the same one!
What the hell!
Dry! Three crops a year!
