The cold winter did not stop everyone's enthusiasm for work.

The people of the town of Phumixiu are preparing for next year's expedition, and the craftsmen are crafting all kinds of weapons and ship protectors.

Women gather in warm wooden huts to sew shoes, and small children crawl among the mountains of wool and fur nearby.

The cooks were in charge of cooking, and the workers and soldiers were able to eat when they entered the house.

The bazaar has been much quieter these days, and there are no more lively caravans and tourists approaching.

However, serfs from Steeler and Pig's Trotter often come over and choose to join as slaves.

There used to be nowhere to hide, but since the name of the benevolent prophet spread, there was hope for many serfs who could not survive under the manors and nobles.

Many people fled with their families, and there were also slaves who didn't know where to go.

Most of the slaves honestly stayed under the aristocracy as slaves not because they were afraid, but because they didn't know where to go, thinking that no one would accept them as slaves, even if they went outside.

But the appearance of a benevolent prophet dispelled the concerns of many slaves.

As long as you get here, you will be able to eat enough and live a life where you will not be abused.

Although the number of the Celestial Church is very small, it has spread more and more evil throughout the barbarian kingdom with the spread of caravans one by one.

Beoff soon got on the raft with the migrant workers he had brought in from outside in the spring, and in front of the raft there were sled dogs pulling carts and knights riding domes.

The procession of fifty men soon set out to spread the prophet's words to more places.

In the manor

Lawrence's troops split up to explore.

"Taking advantage of the freezing of the river in winter, and also taking advantage of this season when the outside world will not attack us, we have to train once and go downstream to find an opponent!"

In addition to the team that explored the Great River to the north, the team that went east to aid the Vakiri in building a port, and the team of emissaries who went southeast to bribe the nobles of Pigtrotter City, Lawrence had to go downstream.

The foresters downstream are also one of the cornerstones of the territory and must be protected.

Wearing a thick coat and a sheepskin hat, Sariel stood beside Lawrence and watched the frozen river deep, deep.

"Lawrence, what are we going downstream?"

Lawrence replied, "Go downstream, there are other tribes below the foresters, we have to conquer more places." ”

"Also, take advantage of the winter to clear out the trees and plants that are in the way, and find out the hibernating animals and kill them!"

Lawrence said calmly: "In the summer and autumn, when we go to the lower jungle, it is easy to get sick and be easily attached to the body, so I have been waiting for winter to come!" ”

Sariel suddenly showed a sad face, "Then we're going to be busy again this winter?" ”

"Well, it's going to be busy." Lawrence encourages: "Winter is a huge advantage for us! We're going to take advantage of that! ”

"Prepare, eat and go!"

Lawrence quickly gave the order.

"Yes, Prophet!!" Fryce and the others happily agreed.

Andrew was also a little impatient.

In winter, there will be no sneak attacks by the armies of the Western Kingdoms in the north, nor will there be sneak attacks from the southern forces.

In this era, winter is a huge test for logistics, and only poor people like the Vakiri who can't survive are willing to go out and rob in winter.

Westerners live in an oceanic climate, and the coldest winter in the Hokuriku Kingdom will not drop below zero too much, while if you live here in the north for a long time, your ears will be frozen.

If the Westerners and Southerners want to attack here in winter, they will freeze to death before they reach the gate of the manor.

The severe cold makes the barbarians not have to worry about the possibility of being beaten back, even if they are beaten, it doesn't matter, they will come back after escaping, and they will be able to build all kinds of simple and simple houses in a few days.

This climate is very bad for Lawrence, but sometimes it can be used to do something.

In the bitter winter, no one can defeat Lawrence's army of barbarians!

Even the more capable boar legions are the same.

It was not Andrew and the others who were more powerful than the elite warriors of the Lofen Kingdom, but Lawrence provided each soldier with woolen boots, as well as sweater pants and windproof wallet pants, and wool coats.

Powerful logistics make the already frost-tolerant northern barbarians even more powerful and want to fight!

Warm shoes make it easier for soldiers to stand firm, exert strength and run in the winter.

Hearty food has made a group of people have long stored a lot of fat, resistant to frost and beating!

The most advanced reward and punishment system in this era makes everyone eager to get more honors.

After eating and drinking and resting for a while, the group quickly walked out of the house, stepped onto the ice under the leadership of Lawrence, and began to run quickly downstream.

This time only Saliel and Sophia and Catherine were brought with them.

Catherine and Sophia are must-haves.

Sariel let her follow because Lawrence saw that she was going to follow.

Lawrence has always been protected by Sariel, Sariel's axe has saved Lawrence more than once, and Lawrence is also used to being protected by Sariel.

Saliel rides Nala the Dom Sheep, and Sofia rides Sophia, a two-and-a-half-year-old Dom Sheep.

The thick ice can support the weight of several tons, and everyone stops and goes, and when it gets dark, they build a windproof ice and snow wall on the shore, and eat hot pot with the pots and fuel they carry.

After eating the hot pot, the roof was built with snow blocks, and the team of more than 100 people consisted of seventy veterans and thirty recruits.

The next morning, I started cooking, and after eating, I set off to continue my journey, and arrived at the forest tribe at noon.

The old knight Turaka came out to greet him, with more than a hundred foresters behind him.

"Prophet!"

Tukara and the foresters behind him bowed their heads and fell to their knees.

Lawrence sat down on the black unicorn and said, "Get up, this time I am here to expand the territory and spread the light of God on more land." ”

"Will the tribes downstream join us?"

Lawrence looked at Turaka and asked Turaka to not only build here, but also absorb more people.

"Those people don't want to join us, they don't trust us, and they don't want to be ruled by the nobility and the church," Turaka explained. ”

Lawrence nodded, "Okay, that's what I'm here for." ”

"Where is such a thing in my realm, but they refuse to listen to me?"

Lawrence said to Andrew: "Take a break, there is a tribe of four hundred people downstream, conquer it!" ”

"Yes, Prophet!" That's when Andrew got his hands dirty.

Tukara quickly said, "Prophet, there is a warrior in the Viper tribe who is very powerful, and his wooden club in his hand can break our five-meter-long wooden boat, and Raglo is no match for him. ”

Andrew was even more energetic, "What's his name?" ”

Tukara replied, "The people here call him Gris the Giant, and he is a hammer above yours." ”

Lawrence looked at Andrew, who was more than one meter eight meters tall, and the giant Grace was at least two meters three. (End of chapter)
