Lawrence definitely has more to prepare than he does in the Hoof City of Tranta.

In the early days, there were only a few hundred people in the territory who could fight, but now the population of the territory is 10,000 people, and the available soldiers are just over 1,000 people.

At first, there were only two or three people, and two of the three had to fight.

When there were 100 men later, there were more than 30 people who could fight.

When there are a thousand, almost a hundred.

Now there are 13,000 men, and the available number of troops is maintained at more than 1,000.

In the future, the number of soldiers will increase, and the proportion of soldiers will become lower and lower.

Especially now that the territory of the Kingdom of Stars is getting bigger and bigger, it can't be defended at all.

If you encounter your former gang of people, such as the combat power of more than 300 people, the country of stars with more than 13,000 people will be very passive.

After all, it is a group of pirates who don't know when they came, they have strong combat effectiveness, they are not afraid of death, and they live in a barren and bitter cold place, and there is no benefit at all in fighting them.

And killing them can't deter the rest of the barbarians, and no one on the other side can represent them.

This is what the barefoot are not afraid to wear.

Now the war between Lawrence and Pig's Trotter City is between two forces, both have their hometowns, and both know where the other's rear is.

Countess Auraia, who had departed some time earlier, soon returned to the town of Pumesius.

Lawrence entertained the countess at home, bathing with the countess in the company of Catherine and Delen, among others.

There were two waterbeds in the large bathroom, and Lawrence and Oraua climbed on each of them, letting the Dark Elf maid rub them over.

Lawrence closed his eyes and enjoyed the services of the Dark Elf maid, and also took advantage of this time to open his heart to ask about this trip.

"How's going on in Tranta's Hoof?"

O'Laua enjoyed life here in Oak City for the first time and loved it as soon as she arrived.

In particular, the standard of living here has improved a lot compared to the last time.

When lying on this soft leather bed and being rubbed by a woman, she sincerely praised the adult next to her.

"My master, I have fulfilled your commission to buy back a hundred slaves for you."

O'Raua pressed against the waterbed, tilting her head slightly to look at Lawrence, her eyes full of humility and fascination.

This powerful and young man, he has a noble bloodline, great strength, domineering ambition, wise strategy, and mysterious wrists.

Auraa didn't want to be a countess, she just wanted to be a woman next to this powerful man.

Follow this adult, become his slave girl, and live a good life that you can enjoy every day.

Lawrence reprimanded impatiently, "I'm asking about Tranta's Hoof City!" ”

"Yes! Master! O'Raua quickly realized his mistake and felt remorseful.

Just let the barbarian women admit that the conqueror is strong, then they will become very obedient.

"The nobles of Tranda Hoof City are busy doing business with the Southern Kingdom, exchanging furs, gems, corals, and tortoise shells for food and weapons from the South."

"Now the kingdoms in the south are in chaos, and many people have fled from the south to the north, and then they have been captured by the people of Tranda Hoof City and sold to various territories."

"The warriors who went to the kingdom of Norsenri with the king have also returned to the city, and many of these people are powerful veterans."

"Duke Redra of Tran Hoof has united the nobles of the city to become king this year, and he will be crowned by the bishop of the Southern Church of the Holy Light."

Church of the Light...... Lawrence found the problem to be much more complicated.

The Church of Light is dealing with witches in the south, describing them as witches.

There is no difference between these two, that is, the difference between Wang Ba and turtle fish.

And in fact, witch is also a curse word.

"Then it looks like there will be a lot of trouble this year, and the strength of the Tranda Hoof City side will be very strong."

O'Raua smiled, "But we're stronger, and we've got your master." ”

This praise did not give Lawrence much comfort.

"How many berserkers are there over there?"

O'Raua thought back for a moment, and this time he didn't pay attention to this aspect of things, mainly buying slaves and supplies, and some beautiful clothes and jewelry.

"There are about a dozen, and I can feel that there are four of them, all of them are Duke Rydra's guards."

Lawrence thought about the specific number of people, and there were not many high-end combat power on his side, which was Andrew, Fryce, and Grace.

Beoff was useless, this child was not very strong or smart since he was a child, and he could only be regarded as an ordinary person.

Seravon has never been a strong man, focusing on logistics.

Reglo and Mandelcrowe are long gone.

"What does Stedel's side think about this incident?" Lawrence hopes for some good news.

O'Raua replied, "Steer's men are willing to be on your side, and they will go to war if you need them." ”

This good news made Lawrence a little flattered, he thought that Steer's choice of neutrality was already the greatest help, but he didn't expect the other party to stand directly on his side?

"They made a very wise choice." Lawrence pondered why these people chose him.

Olaua praised Lawrence from the bottom of his heart, "Anyone who has been to this land will understand the greatness and kindness of your master. ”

"Compared to you, that ugly, stupid, lowly, greedy Redra is a lump of pig dung!"

Sariel, who was taking a bath on the side, wanted to laugh, and she did.

"Lawrence is indeed very kind, and the people of Steeler have always shared a lot of good things with us."

"And you don't have to pay taxes with Lawrence."

Lawrence quickly understood what the Stahl people were thinking.

The Stahls were clearly more willing to work with their side.

Several collaborations were very pleasant, and not only Count Steele was willing to continue working together, but also his nobles.

On the contrary, if you continue to be with Tranda Hoof City, not only will you have to pay taxes every year, but you will also have to give the duke a share of the extra money you usually earn when you go out.

Count Steadle probably didn't want to put up with it for a long time, right?

If Duke Redra really became king, everyone's life would only get harder and harder.

Especially after the Wakiri people joined Lawrence's forces, and there was the union of the Western Kingdom, Lawrence seems to be not many people here, but in the eyes of Count Stedel and others, it is very capable of fighting.

The Stahl people thought the odds were good here, so they sided with it.

"I've already written to the Western Kingdoms, they'll be sending someone over soon, plus the warriors of Stahl and Vakiri, and defeating Tranda Hoof is just around the corner!"

O'Raua said disdainfully: "How many times have those people in the West been beaten by us, and what use can they use?" ”

Lawrence was well aware of the might of the Western Kingdom.

They were beaten several times not because they were weak, but because they didn't want to fight.

When I really wanted to play, I chose to join for various reasons.

The time when the Wave Kingdom was fighting, it completely smashed the trend of the Western Kingdoms uniting to crowd out the North, giving the kingdoms that did not join a sense of crisis, and making the kingdoms that joined feel that Lawrence could provide protection.

The Western Kingdom is mainly due to the vast and sparsely populated land, which makes it impossible for the elite to cover most of the territory.

And because the powerful people are all nobles, they usually are in their own territory, and there are not many masters under each lord on average.

When attacking the Kocako Kingdom, the Deco Kingdom, and the Hokuriku Kingdom, not all the people there were weak chickens, in fact, some masters were caught off guard and hacked to death.

If it is a prepared battle, then the Western Kingdom will let the barbarians know what legion power is.

Although the Decco Kingdom sent people over to sneak attack before, although it failed, the combination of those three wizards at that time, plus the establishment of more than one hundred and fifty combatants, and the lineup of several noble knights, it was actually not a big problem to fight the Vakiri.

It is impossible for the four or five thousand people of the Wakiri to be all concentrated in one village, and there are only a dozen combatants around the earl in normal times, most of whom are actually women and children.

For example, Lawrence himself, there are dozens of fighters here in Oak City, and the rest of the hundreds are ordinary people.

The Western Kingdom is not weak, and Lawrence himself is not weak here.

The current Star Nation just can't defend all of its territory, and if you only talk about a few nearby core areas, the defensive strength is far better than that of Tranda Hoof City.

The total population of the Kingdom of Lorfen is more than 100,000, and he has attracted two counts on his side, and Duke Ridra cannot control all the remaining barbarians.

The number of barbarians under the command of Trandahoof City is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, and the number of available soldiers is at most four or five thousand.

Considering that many people had died before, and that many had fled to the southern and western kingdoms, it was estimated that the total number would not exceed five thousand, nor would it be less than three thousand.

During the reign of Lorfen III, the city of Trandahoof had between 8,000 and 10,000 combatable soldiers.

These barbarians consumed some of it when they attacked the southern kingdom, and then went to the south with Lorfen III to enjoy the blessings, and the fiefs were also divided into good places like the kingdom of Norsenry.

Although Duke Redra did not have the appeal and authority of the III, he had no shortage of soldiers.

In particular, many veterans who have survived many robberies and wars, once the number of those people increases, it will become much more difficult to deal with.

Candace whispered to Lawrence, who was thinking about something, "Master, it's time to rub it head." ”

Lawrence quickly rolled over and stood on the ground.

The maid quickly went to the nearby hot tub with a bucket to scoop a bucket of water, and washed away the ashes on the leather bed.

After two flushes, Lawrence was lying on the hot leather bed.

O'Lauya, who was next to him, also stood up and prepared to rub his face.

Lawrence closed his eyes and pondered all kinds of preparations.

Weapons, armor, bows and arrows, food, shields, and very important medicines.

Isabel had already obtained the herbs that had been sent, and would be able to make the first healing potions by the fall.

In terms of personnel, it is still a bit small, and after the city of Tranda Hoof inherits the legacy of Lofen III, the quality and quantity of soldiers will not be too bad.

There must be at least 2,000 people on his side before he can fight the opponent head-on.

Two thousand people is a bit too hard.

Lawrence thought about it and finally realized that the only way to close the quantitative gap was to improve quality.

Then there is the play match.

This naval battle was not a battle of two ships alone, but a brawl of a group of ships.

Dozens of ships on each side were scuffling, and it was difficult for the ships in front to turn around and run away once they were approached.

Maybe add a castle?

That is, to build a building on a ship, anyway, I don't think about long-distance sailing, just for war.

The construction technology on my side must be fine, you can transform a three-masted sailing ship into a four-story high ship, as long as it can accommodate three or two hundred people, the firepower will be fierce! (End of chapter)
