Chapter 51: Barbarian Mobile Troops
In Oak City, Sariel walks from the sunny spot to Lawrence, who is resting under a big tree.
"Lawrence, what about those captured slaves?"
Lawrence was recording his plans for the winter, and looked up at Sariel in a straw hat.
"Let them first go and harvest the wheat, give them sickles to go and gather the wheat in the field, give food to those who have harvested, do not give to those who do not work, leave those who run away, and kill those who make trouble."
"Okay." After saying that, Sariel walked over and stood beside Lawrence, looking curiously at Lawrence's cardboard, a little curious about what was written on it.
It's a rare day of good weather, and Lawrence doesn't want to see Sariel busy and running around.
"I've told Fryce about the slaves, you don't have to worry about that, if it's okay, you can let the carpenter make some beautiful furniture to store all kinds of beautiful clothes and hats."
Sariel happily raised her hands and touched the straw hat she had knitted, glad that Lawrence was still so good at talking.
"Lawrence, you make a piece of furniture, you make it beautiful!"
Lawrence's carpentry work is indeed good, much better than farming and fighting.
In terms of farming, I understand technology, but in fact, I don't have strong hands-on experience.
In the early stage, Andrew and Saliel planted the land, in the early stage, Seravon and the slaves planted the land, then the Durella and the Pumisian, and then Keharan led a group of people to cultivate potatoes, wheat, rice, and other crops.
Earlier, I had also farmed in the city of Tranta's Hoof, and in fact, my brain was better than my hands and feet, which meant that I wasn't very good at it.
In terms of combat, it is completely inadequate compared to Sariel and a group of fierce men, and he has accurately found his position a long time ago, and does not blindly pursue personal strength.
Interior: A
Fight/Defend/Escape: A-/A+/SSS (Upmounted)
Knowledge: SSS
Wisdom: A+
Personal/Leadership Charisma: A/SS
Because he knew exactly what he was capable of, Lawrence preferred to give direction and supervise and provide advice rather than doing it himself.
In the early stage, there was no way but to go on your own, but now there are more people and more skilled craftsmen, so you should spend your time in key places.
"It takes more than half a month to make a piece of furniture, and it takes a month or two if you paint and paint the lines, so I can make a makeup case for you if I'm okay at night."
Lawrence looked at Saliel and said with a smile: "As for wardrobes and tables, chairs, benches, lamps, pillars, wooden boxes, wooden boxes, basins, shelves, etc., just find a carpenter to do it." ”
Saliel nodded, and suddenly understood what Lawrence meant.
"yes, I feel like we need a lot of furniture, and now that our room is empty, we need to fill it up quickly!"
After saying that, Salil ran out, and without saying hello, she went straight to her own business.
Lawrence turned his head to look at the mottled shadows under the great oak tree, and in the shade of the tree, where only a little sunlight could fall, a beautiful blonde girl slept, with her hands on her belly like a sleeping beauty, and fell asleep peacefully.
Lawrence suddenly became curious about a strange thing.
Both Keharan and Losanda are very quiet when they sleep.
If it's a pure-blood witch, it's not right, and half-blood witches like Delenn and Sophia are also quiet when they sleep.
Catherine, too, seems to have been sleeping in one position until she woke up.
Lawrence was not in a hurry to plan for the winter, and was idle to think about the position of the witch to sleep.
We've been living together for more than five years, and I really haven't thought about it before.
It's like a blind spot in the mind, there are things that happen countless times in front of your eyes, and you can't realize them after seeing them.
Until one day, after watching hundreds or thousands of times, I suddenly became curious and confused.
"Why is that? Could it be that Sariel's blood is relatively thin? ”
"That's not right, Sariel is half blood, and Delen and Sophia are also half blood."
"The words of the berserker bloodline are not right, Delen is also the berserker bloodline."
At this time, Lawrence saw Khallan carrying a basket of flowers from the medicine field towards the wooden house, followed by Clara and Clara's black-skinned half-elf grandmother, Yulia.
"Keharan! Come here. ”
Hearing Lawrence's shout, Kehalan walked over.
The grandfather and grandson behind him also followed.
"Master." Yulia and Clara bow to Lawrence.
Today's Khalan wears a plus-size gray dress, a white silk scarf wrapped around her head, and a white veil over her face.
At first, Keharan was not used to wearing clothes, but later he felt that he was beautiful in clothes, and slowly he got used to the touch of wearing clothes, and he was not as resistant as he was at first.
The function of the veil is to ward off the smell, and there is a lot of keharan-ripened wood nearby, and the smell of these woods takes a long time to dissipate.
Khalan's sorcery can only cause plants to wither and age, and cannot directly decompose wood.
Lawrence looked at Kehalan and directly expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Kehalan, is there any difference between a witch sleeping and a normal person?"
Keharan sat directly on the grass and said with a smile: "What do you want to ask?" ”
Lawrence made the doubts in his mind more concrete.
"It's not important, it's just that I suddenly wonder if all the witches sleep as quiet as you do."
Kehalan never thought about this question and thought for a moment.
"I didn't pay much attention to it, and neither did the rest of the wizards, and we don't usually think about it when we sleep and wake up."
Keharan was quite smart, and knew who the only person who didn't sleep honestly and always complained about other people's hair pressing her hair.
"I think Saril is because of the blood."
Lawrence listened and thought back to what was so special about Sariel's bloodline.
"Sariel's mother is supposed to be the Sea Clan, and the Sea Tribe's body will be pushed by the water when she sleeps, and her body will shake with the water. ”
"I don't think Sarile likes to move when she sleeps, it's because she doesn't feel comfortable because she doesn't have a slight stimulus from the outside world."
"If it was a little rocking like a swing, she might be more stable when she sleeps."
Lawrence thinks about Sariel's performance, and recalls Sariel's behavior at sea and on the ship.
The memories seemed to go blank, and Lawrence quickly sighed.
"When I was at sea before, I was either busy determining my position or fighting a war, and I didn't pay attention to Sariel's performance at sea, and she didn't seem to move when she slept at sea."
Lawrence quickly gave up the investigation and smiled, "It's okay, I like to toss and turn when I sleep, don't worry about this matter." ”
Saril's mother was indeed a sea witch, but that didn't matter, and Lawrence didn't care who Sariel's mother was, or who Kehalan's father, mother, and grandparents were.
Now as long as you know that Sariel has Sea Clan blood, if there is anything you need to pay attention to in your life in the future, you can notice it in advance.
Sophia, who was taking a nap next to her, sat up with one hand on the ground, then rubbed her eyes and yawned, and looked around suspiciously.
"Master, when I was sleeping, I felt a lot of things in the direction of that side, it should be a lot of iron and stone."
Sophia pointed to the location deep in the Agama Mountains to the west.
Lawrence touched Sophia's head, "Let's talk about it later, the iron ore on the mountainside can still be used for a long time, let's go into the house." ”
"Yes, master." Sophia quickly stood up and patted the blade of grass on her buttocks, "I just felt like Sariel was coming." ”
"Hmm." Lawrence looked into the distance, and a large black dog that looked like a giant wolf came running quickly from a distance, and in a few seconds he came to Lawrence from the ring building.
"Woo~" Winddog quickly sat down in front of Lawrence, wagging his tail excitedly.
Lawrence got up and touched the head of the Winddog and reached out to remove the small barrel from the wind's neck, and poured out the paper roll inside.
Kehalan got up and asked, "What happened down the mountain?" The captives are making trouble? ”
"It's not about the captives, it's Kassandra asking about the situation on our side, and the movement of a large number of troops in Southern Norrison more than half a month ago."
Lawrence quickly handed the scroll to Khallan and looked in the direction of the south.
"There should still be a barbarian army of 5,000 people in Tranda Hoof City, but this time the naval battle was too painful for us, and we didn't dare to press all the troops for the time being."
Sophia said with a smile: "I feel that this naval battle is very easy, and it is not our turn to shoot." ”
Lawrence was very speechless, and Sophia felt that it was simply her hiding behind her, and if she really let her go to the first row, she would know the intensity of this battle.
Not only the battle on the Reese, but also the Western reinforcements and large-scale legion battles have exerted strong combat effectiveness, as well as various weapons and equipment and the morale bonus of the prophet commander, various reasons have led to the extraordinary fierceness of this naval battle.
The rest of the ships fought worse than the Reese, but they were all shipwed, and none of the invaders were given a chance to live until Lawrence was sure that the battle was over.
"Judge whether a battle is fierce or not, just look at whether their commander is dead or not."
Lawrence gave a very simple standard, "This time, the noble commanders and knights of Tran Hoof City are all wiped out, except for the fast runners, the rest of the army is completely destroyed, you can replace it with us, and then think about it." ”
Sophia smiled and said, "It's easy to think no matter how you think about it, we won, they lost!" ”
For Tranda Hoof City, this time the loss was extremely miserable, from an advantage to a disadvantage.
Not only did a large number of veteran raiders die, but there were also few key ships left.
The southern kingdom that the kingdom of Lorfen was able to fight was defeated one after another, mainly relying on mobility, relying on elusive clippers to attack the southern rivers and coastal areas.
Now the ships are broken and burned, and the boar legions are not good at long-distance expeditions.
Without the mobility of ships and horses, the food needed for the legion's expedition could only be fought all the way, and the more people there were, the more troublesome it was.
Maneuverability......
"We should keep more deer and dogs pulling carts, so that the cold winter will become our minions and become real ice messengers."
The unique geographical environment of the north determines the offensive advantage in winter.
In winter, you can go west along the glacier, or you can rely on the ice and snow to move south quickly, and use the advantages of fur and spirits to sugar and fat to multiply your combat effectiveness.
Lawrence soon gave the Cave Man food and asked the Cave Man to raise his own dog on the Glacier Continent.
Tran Hoof City is different from the Western Kingdom, and if you want these people to surrender, you have to fight harder!
"Blast, let's go, I'll take you to dinner!" Lawrence quickly rewarded the good dog in front of him who could only deliver letters.
After Lawrence left, the wind quickly followed, wagging his tail at Lawrence's side.
"Master, wait for me!" Sophia quickly picked up the pillow on the ground and followed.
Keharan also went with the two apprentices, and Clara followed the people in front of her expectantly, thinking about what to eat later.
Four-year-old Clara thinks about eating all day long, and she still can't get rid of her habit of stuffing her mouth and trying something good when she sees it.
But it's much better than when I had to stuff everything in my mouth at the beginning.
It's very, very good to eat and sleep here than outside, and Clara has made this place her home, and she forgot her original hometown in less than half a year.
Children are like this, adults are similar, neither Kocako nor the people of the Wave Kingdom want to go back to be slaves, they just want to be slaves here.
Lawrence began to find something for the young people to do, training dog cavalry!
One person drives the dog cart and two are responsible for throwing.
Take advantage of the snow and equipment to bleed the city of Tranta's Hoof in the cold of winter.
The dog's advantage is not the greatest, the biggest advantage is actually the humble wool boots.
Lawrence was able to get his soldiers to wear fur coats and wool boots, and the Tranta Hoof City was not guaranteed even a fur coat and hat.
The people there were considered rich by either hiding in their houses in winter or wrapping a very small sheepskin around their feet with a rope and stuffing some wool in it.
These shoes can't run fast at all, let alone chase people in the middle of winter.
Although barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, in winter, those who wear shoes must run fast.
Now Lawrence is the representative of the cold barbarians in the north, and the nobles of Pig's Trotter City and the southern nobles of the Kingdom of Lorfen are used to living a good life, so let them experience the horror of the barbarians going south!!
