Chapter 127: The Storm's Guidance
Lawrence rode a black unicorn into Filler's House.
Unlike the Barbarian Kingdom, the Western Kingdom can be inherited by women, and there are many female nobles.
The reason is not the equality of men and women, it is the existence of witches.
Witches are generally more numerous and longer-lasting than male witches, and are more likely to blend in with the aristocracy.
In the wizard family, wizards will always die in various accidents because of their personality and uncontrollable abilities, or they are not suitable to be heirs.
Therefore, in the absence of male heirs, it is natural that there will be female inheritance and female nobility.
The habits of wizards also affected ordinary nobles, and Duchess Fillier was such a lucky woman.
The forty-year-old duchess curled up her plump body like ham sausage on the ground, trying not to attract the attention of the barbarians nearby.
The once luxurious palace had become a terrifying place, and her knight, the middle-aged knight who claimed to have killed the sea beast, was dead.
The death was too simple, and it was cut in half by those people with a single sword.
The court knights were quickly killed, or simply fell to their knees and surrendered.
The Baroness and the Lady of the Knights, who had gathered together to play cards, had already pouted their butts and suffered the abuse of those barbarians, and had become the crotch playthings of these barbarians.
The time was over in a short time, and in less than three minutes, the barbarians quickly put on their pants and escorted everyone out.
The Duchess breathed a sigh of relief, and she wanted to slap in with the barbarians, begging them not to kill her.
As she walked out of the palace in embarrassment and reached the middle courtyard, the duchess noticed that the barbarians in front of her quickly knelt down.
"Prophet!"
The duchess looked ahead and saw a young man riding a black unicorn with a black shawl made of feathers, eyes like night, indifferent eyes, and a clean and resolute countenance.
Soon the Duchess was brought up in front of Lawrence, condescending to look down on Lawrence, who was riding on a unicorn.
"Can you understand me?"
The Duchess quickly said, "Yes! I'm Lucy Deco Fillier, the Duchess! ”
Lawrence said to the fat woman, "Now hand over all the treasures in your palace at once." ”
The Duchess knew who this man was, it was Lawrence Raven Feather of the rumored God-given Lands of the North.
In order to survive, the duchess quickly cooperated and took out all the treasures she treasured.
Lawrence quickly and systematically took the books and some bottles and jars that were not easy to make, such as glass hourglasses, glasses, and mirrors.
There are also the gorgeous clothes and ox carts of these noblewomen, followed by gold, silver, jewelry, and grain and wine.
There were basically no high-value things in this era, especially in the north, where there were not many things needed, except for food and clothing, livestock.
After collecting more than twenty carts of wealth, Lawrence said to the duchess, who had been stripped naked, "Speak for me to your king." ”
"If he doesn't apologize and compensate for Hendra's invasion of my territory, then next year I will enter his palace and make his ministers, children, and women all pay the price!"
The duchess thought that she would be taken to the north, and at this time she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I will tell His Majesty the King, is the Witch of Agara alright?"
The duchess asked her good friend if the mind-controlling wizard was okay.
Lawrence said directly: "Those three wizards are dead, this is the price, but the price they have to pay is not only that!" ”
The duchess's expression was very bad, there was nothing to lose the knights and soldiers, but without the wizard, the territory could not be maintained.
Lawrence quickly left with the people.
On the way back, Sophia asked, "Master, are we going like this?" Obviously, it took so much effort when I came, but I took these things with me and went back. ”
Lawrence explained: "These nobles are of no use to us, our ships can't hold much, and this time we brought back five chests of gold, silver, and jewelry, enough to trade with the South." ”
The most troublesome thing about robbery is that you can't grab high-value items, and the currencies in this world are not common, especially since it is still in the stage of barter, and the Western kingdom itself rarely trades things.
It is difficult to spend money, and it is unstable to loot food alone, so the best way is to open trade points and replace robbery with exchange.
Sophia asked, "Wouldn't it be good to catch that fat girl and then replace her?" ”
Lawrence looked at the road ahead, this kind of thing may also be something that others are curious about, Lawrence thinks it is necessary to let the rest of the people know.
"We have informed the king of the kingdom of Deco that if he does not want to fight, he will compensate us, and he will definitely compensate us for some slaves when the time comes."
"If he continues to fight, he won't care about the life or death of that duchess, since we attack here, this duchess will have no use value."
"In the future, all parts of the Western Kingdom will appoint powerful people to manage their fiefdoms, and then rely on these people to form a large army to protect themselves."
"Those who have no power, whether men or women, will be abandoned."
Not killing the duchess is to give the nobles a decent impression and also give the rest of the nobles an impression.
He thinks that he is not a barbarian who kills people when he sees them, so that in the future, the people of the Deco Kingdom dare to go to the port of Ferry to talk.
It is more effective not to kill or capture than to capture and exchange prisoners.
Strong ships and sharp cannons are not used to fight wars all the time, but to open the country and expand the scope of finance.
Food, people, and land.
Lawrence needed a piece of land, a land of peace.
The main purpose of going straight to the Deke Kingdom is not only to improve its own deterrence, but also to force the five coastal countries to cede land and sue for peace.
Hokuriku, Kojako, Hasenli, Durela, Deco, and not far away the kingdom of Glen.
In the era of commercial and financial underdevelopment, land and population were the points of contention.
Lawrence's fleet began to return along the coastline, this time not killing many people or taking prisoners, but there were plenty of cattle and sheep, and a lot of wheat seedlings were specially cut for fodder.
After a two-day delay, the fleet quickly sailed back with a tailwind.
During the day, when the wind is not favorable, lower the sails and row back.
At present, all boats are rowed sailboats, with the main power being the sails and the secondary power being human rowing.
At noon on the third day, while Lawrence was counting the various curiosities in the box, Saliel quickly jumped off the board.
"Lawrence! It's raining ahead, it's raining heavily! ”
Lawrence looked quickly into the distance, and the wind and sun were shining in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
The sea breeze also felt normal, and the waves in the vicinity were only slightly undulating.
"This is the city of the Durellans, let's take refuge in it!"
Lawrence chose to trust Sariel and quickly ordered all the ships to head towards the coast.
"Row with all your might! Hurry up and get ashore! ”
After more than ten minutes passed, the originally sunny sky quickly became overcast, and the sea breeze began to become violent.
At this time, the fleet was just approaching the shore, a scissor-like port, two kilometers wide at the outermost, and a mountain city with many stone houses near the inside.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Lawrence yelled on the black unicorn.
There were still a few Durellas watching on the shore here, but they were ignored by Lawrence.
The nearby Durella people looked at the huge fleet, and stood in the distance and looked at the group of people in a panic, especially the young man riding the black beast.
Barbarians and Durellians are very distinguishable, those who are one meter eight tall are definitely barbarians, and there are not a few men of one meter eight in the entire tin mining city.
And the people who got off the boat in front of them were the highest close to two meters, and the lowest was more than one meter seven.
And Durella men are generally about 1.5 meters, 1.6 meters is considered tall, and only guards and nobles have a height of 1.7 meters.
The difference in height is also the difference in strength, and two hundred villagers can chase after a dozen barbarians, not to mention the barbarian army in front of them, which looks like hundreds of barbarians!
At this time, the barbarian army was working together to pull the boat to the shore, and the rest of the people quickly led the cattle and sheep down from the boat.
When Lawrence saw that someone was going to the ship to carry the treasure chest, he shouted directly: "Just move the books down, don't worry about the rest!" ”
"Faster! Faster! ”
A storm blew the barbarian legions from the north to the city of Koullip in the kingdom of Durella.
The guards of the city quickly reported the news to the merchants and nobles in the streets, as well as to the noble lords of the city.
The housekeeper Yellen quickly found the master in a hurry.
"Earl, there are a lot of barbarians outside, more than thirty fleets, more than five hundred!"
Rumble!
The lightning and thunder outside illuminated everything in the mansion, and briefly exposed the dead face of the Earl of Bartley.
"Block them!" Count Bartley quickly ordered, "Let all the guards come and protect me from leaving!" (End of chapter)
