Chapter 112: Together
In the town of Peumetheus, Lawrence and the others discuss the matter of sailing.
"I've seen the weapons of those people outside, basically they are all long swords, and the armor is armor, but there are very few."
Lawrence looked at Fryce.
"Fryce, what kind of weapons do you think our soldiers would be better carrying?"
Fryce was stumped by the question, "One axe is enough!" It would be even better if you could wear sturdy leather armor! ”
Lawrence looked at the rest of the group.
"Our warriors can die in battle, but everyone's life is precious, and I don't want you to be hacked to death casually."
"I will provide you with the best leather armor and armor to ensure that you have stronger protection without affecting the movement of your arms, legs and feet."
"While contacting Siddle and the Vakiri, everyone who goes out this time has to exercise and get used to the burden on their bodies."
"From today onwards, the food will be improved every day, and two hours a day will be spent training outside, and if the physique is not qualified and cannot persevere, don't go out! Stay here and work. ”
Fryce and the others don't want to be cowards, let alone be eliminated.
"Yes, Prophet!"
Andrew was very confident in himself, and soon Lawrence looked at Andrew.
"Andrew, if you meet that wizard again, is there a way to kill him this time?"
The rest also looked at Andrew.
Andrew was silent for a few seconds, he didn't really want to face this problem anymore for a while, but sometimes he thought about what happened at that time.
"No way, that wizard's wind can roll me up, and I can't resist that swirling wind."
Andrew told the truth depressedly, and saying such things was a blow to him, and it was also a blow to the rest of him.
Lawrence said calmly: "Then what if you were with Frys, and there were more than a dozen warriors scattered behind you, and after one of them was blown up by the wind, the rest went to kill the wizard?" ”
Andrew thought for a moment, "Almost. ”
Lawrence said, "What if I go with Sariel and lead you on this expedition?" ”
Andrew clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
"I'll cut off that wizard's head!"
Lawrence nodded, "Very well, this time I will personally take a hundred people out, and Stahl and Vakiri can also make fifty or sixty people, these elite warriors are enough to destroy a county's territory." ”
"I won't let you rush to face the enemy, in addition to the axe and sword, I will provide you with a javelin, and you can shoot a round collectively when you get close to the enemy."
"A primary weapon, a javelin, a spare dagger, a helmet, leather armor."
"If you encounter hordes of knights and high walls, use the slings to strike at the nobles behind the walls first."
"If you encounter a cavalry charge, greet them with a javelin first!"
"If you are tired of the siege, let the shield form a shield wall with a shield in hand to buy time."
Lawrence divides the regular squad into the main attacker, the logistician with weapons and equipment, and the shield reserve, all three of whom can fight, and are characterized by the ability to quickly transform into different modes according to the situation when encountering unexpected situations.
Fryce, Andrew, and others listened carefully to Lawrence's explanation.
I can't remember anything else, but everyone is very interested in the battle.
Lawrence, with the advantage of the traverser, instilled several tactics into these barbarians.
For example, the virtual and the real, leading the snake out of the hole, and touching the melon along the vine.
"This time it's the Kocako Kingdom that will be fighting, and the four closest coastal countries to us are the Hokuriku Kingdom, Haisenli, Durela, and Deco Kingdom."
"The Kingdom of Glen is an island nation in the southwest, and there are several more countries behind it."
"The kingdom of Kogiac is in the southern region of the Hokuriku Kingdom, and its territory is a finger slanting to the east, and most of the inhabitants are located along the river in the southernmost part."
"We landed on land from the Hokuriku Kingdom, and then entered the Kocako Kingdom in search of a target."
"There is no one living in this place in the Hokliku Kingdom, and this place is about a day's journey away from us."
Andrew showed a shocked expression, "So close?" How can it be? ”
The rest were not convinced either, including Fleiss and others.
If it's really that close, it's definitely not as simple as three crops a year.
Lawrence explains: "We had a problem with our previous boats, we didn't use the sails properly, and sometimes we slept against the current. ”
"Of course it will be much slower if you just rely on rowing, but this time we will go downwind and not too close to the sea, and I will be responsible for leading you on the right path!"
In the past, it took a month and a half to go out at a time, mainly because it was delayed too long at sea.
Navigators are accustomed to sailing along the shore, and the waves on the shore are all running towards the shore or the sea, and there are few times when the wind is really smooth.
Lawrence has a compass, an awareness of the ocean's climate and sense of direction, and Sophia and Saliel assist.
As long as you can find a route with smooth wind and water, you can reach the land of the Hokuriku Kingdom in one day.
In fact, the distance between several places should not be too far, and the work efficiency can be at least doubled by upgrading the ship technology.
The sails of the Ice Sea Man were all single-sailed, and Lawrence could make stronger brigs, three-masted galleons.
Although Andrew and the others did not believe that they could reach the Hokuriku Kingdom in one day, everyone felt that it would not matter if they had a few more days, and soon began training.
The slinging troops continued to train sling, and Andrew and others began to practice throwing with javelins.
Lawrence and the blacksmiths began to make inverted molds of helmets, quickly making helmets from molten iron and molds.
The resulting helmet had scum and burrs, but it was enough to defend against simple weapons, and Lawrence had children and women sharpen the helmet with a file to remove the iron slag from the inside.
Twenty main warriors wore iron helmets, and the rest were dressed in wooden helmets.
Hundreds of blacksmiths and apprentice blacksmiths worked day and night to build weapons, women gathered in the big house in Ferry Harbor to sew sails, and men trained in carrying weights and coordination.
Lawrence makes a compass at home, Sariel begins to prepare weapons and everyday items for travel, and Sophia quietly exercises her senses.
The three Delen were in charge of the house, and Lawrence brought two maids.
Brielier, who can translate languages, and Dora, an ama who is good at swimming and diving, and has a good understanding of the sea conditions and the situation of the Hokliku Kingdom.
Count Steadle had forty men under his command, including the previous barons Rodney and Durand.
Thirty men came from Vakiri, led by Baron Crete, who were few, but brought ten boats, each of which could accommodate more than twenty people.
Lawrence and others gathered at the seashore to inspect the ships and greet the Vakiri.
Durand scoffed: "That's all there is to the Vakiri? ”
As soon as Crete wanted to refute, Lawrence took the initiative to say: "I specifically asked for more boats, we don't have enough boats here, so I asked Wakiri to bring more boats." ”
"This time we will work together, and we will fight together in a few days, and I swear to God that I will treat everyone just and fairly."
"As long as he dares to move forward and obey my command to fight bravely, then neither God nor I will be without his reward."
Durand was shocked: "Prophet, this time you also passed?" ”
Lawrence nodded, "Yes, for the sake of glory, I'm willing to go with you." ”
"God will bless us!" Lawrence was very sure, "Now let's go into the house and rest, and we'll go when we've had a full meal!" ”
"Yes! Prophet! Lawrence's men shouted in unison.
The people of Steer's realm were also excited, only the Vakiri were a little uneasy.
These people are full of fear of the land and do not want to come.
Lawrence looked at Crete and took the initiative to say: "The sea is cold, and your weapons are shabby, and a true warrior should be equipped with sharp weapons and strong clothes." ”
"Go eat first, and I'll have someone bring you clothes and weapons, so that your bodies don't shiver in the cold wind."
Crete looked at Lawrence in amazement, "But we haven't grabbed anything yet..."
Lawrence smiled, "It's okay, you must be well fed and clothed before you work, I won't let my followers go hungry, bare-legged and bare-backed." ”
Lawrence quickly turned against Wakyri's men.
In contrast to the Count, who was brutal and murderous, and greedy for most of his wealth, the Prophet here was merciful as a messenger of God.
This is the messenger of God!
Lawrence not only fed everyone, but also changed the new seventy into boots stuffed with wool.
It is not only the soles of the feet and the body that are warm, but also the human heart.
