Chapter 56: Night Raven

"It's snowing."

The soldier on duty next to the campfire in the warm house and the person sleeping next to him said casually, but the sleeping person did not respond, and still fell asleep with loud snoring.

The soldier on duty tightened his overcoat and pushed open the heavy curtain to take a look at the outside world.

At this time, it was already late at night, and there were more than 20 people lighting lights inside and outside the manor, and the cries of children could be heard from time to time.

In the past few days, more than a dozen families in the manor have to give birth, and the Prophet asked the nuns to live in the original wooden house, and also took the woman who was about to give birth to live in the house.

Soon I heard a loud cry, a powerful cry from a newborn child.

Next spring, there will be many more children basking in the sun on the mountain.

After another month or so, the great rivers in the north completely froze into ice.

Lawrence toured the Manor, Oak City, Phumisius, Ferry Harbor, Flying Fish Harbor, and the Icey Harbor of the Vakiri.

Grace found Lawrence, the little giant who had burned his hair during the fight a while ago, and had some more scars on his arms and face, which looked particularly terrifying.

In the eyes of Lawrence and the rest of the barbarians, this is the medal of honor and valor.

Fortunately, Grace himself saw it this way, and other cowards and women did not dare to laugh at his appearance.

If someone really behaved so unruly, even if they were killed by Grace, Lawrence would not speak for them.

"Prophet!" Grimes knelt down on one knee and saluted Lawrence, who was making a refrigerator with the students and nuns.

Lawrence looked at Glys, "Get up, what's the matter?" ”

Grace slowly stood up, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "I want to go back to the tribe and come back when the eternal night comes." ”

"Yes." Lawrence had already made this arrangement, and all kinds of plans were thought out in advance, "The Viper tribe has potatoes, peas, and pumpkins there, and you bring back a hundred baskets of wheat and three barrels of vodka." ”

Grace gratefully, "Yes, prophet! ”

Lawrence was very satisfied with Grace's men, who were able to communicate, willing to cooperate, and strong enough in their own right.

In fact, according to the comparison of high-end combat effectiveness, the south is greater than the north.

The Cave Men can't beat the Wakiri, the Wakiri can't beat the Stahl people, the Sdel people can't beat the people of Trandahoof, and the Trandahoof City is no match for the South.

Barbarians can smash the southern kingdom, mainly because they are mobile and run away after fighting.

The Southern Kingdom was divided into many nations, each of which was divided into many nobles, and there was such an organization as the Church.

The church was more than willing for the barbarians to hack to death those disobedient kings.

Barbarians are actually very afraid of wizards, and this fear can be seen in various manifestations in ordinary times, and Lofen III does not have the kind of leadership that makes barbarians desperately attack wizards.

All along, in fact, it was to fight weak chickens, constantly hitting those residential areas that were not defended by noble forces, and only when the fight was almost done did they go to fight the noble towns that had lost their wings.

The main reason is that the more south the more they rely on the strength of the collective, and at the same time, the strength of the individual is weakened, and when they are not equipped with weapons and armor, and they are enslaved, abused, and oppressed all day long, most people only want to run, do not want to fight back.

Help the abusive nobles fight back against the barbarians?

The elites in the south are much stronger than those in the north, the problem is that these elites serve various nobles, and small-scale battles are very strong, especially when defending their own territory, the combat effectiveness is extremely high, but if you help other people's defense, it is a small life.

In a fight, the interests of the North are to plunder wealth and food for the population.

The interests of the South are many and intricate.

There are many problems in the South, and the main problem is the problem of those in power, not the problem of race.

Isabella, the princess of the Kingdom of Glen, has always been interested in politics and military affairs.

After Grace left, Isabella took the initiative to talk to Lawrence.

"Prophet, you have sent five hundred men out to attack the city of Trantahoof, and now you have let your knights leave, is there no problem with Phumesius Town?"

"There won't be any problems!" Lawrence affirmed, "There are 2,000 people left here to deal with 20,000!" ”

Lawrence is very confident, the cold winter has been coming for a long time, and the town of Pomesius at this time is impregnable, and he is not afraid of the outside army at all.

Isabella reminded: "There are 100,000 people out there. ”

Lawrence didn't think that there were really 100,000 people out there, and the way to solve food, rebellion, and strife in this era was relatively simple, which was to kill people.

Slaves are not considered human beings, and ordinary people can be consumed at any time.

Once there is a demographic problem, then fight and die.

Sensing the food crisis, Lawrence ran away, and it didn't take long for Lorfen III to take over the Southern Kingdom.

It is impossible to be immortal, and no one will count the exact number of people who have died.

Anyway, people will die, and every time the population exceeds the capacity limit, they will die, and they will stop when there is no food crisis and internal strife.

Many of Lawrence's deceased people died in the city of Tranta's Hoof, becoming the price of it.

"It doesn't matter if it's 100,000 or 200,000." Lawrence looked at Isabella and the rest of the students, "Now we have more than 2,000 people here, if I can fight more and more from now on, from 2,000 to 3,000 or 4,000, then it proves that we are right." ”

"Only a just war can be fought more and more!!"

"The city of Trandahoof looks crowded now, but in fact the interior is decaying, like a rotting tree, and a little external force will expose large holes."

"If you're okay, you can go outside, people from Trantahoof City come over and join us every few days! This is the proof that we are on the side of justice!! ”

In fact, the prisoners of war who were released last time ran back.

These people outside had no land, no houses and no livestock, plus they surrendered during the war, and when they returned, they were slaves.

The people of the kingdom of Lorfen despised those who surrendered, especially these people who drank wine and ate meat and nibbled bread from the enemy, but the city of Trandahoof died the noble heirs and a large number of elites.

It is impossible to expect those barbarians and nobles to sympathize with these traitors, and they have no idea of pretending to maintain their image, they don't pretend to wear them.

It is not only a matter of mistrust but also anger at these surrenderers who have returned home intact, treating them as slaves and trying to extract losses from them.

In this era and environment, the benevolent Lawrence is not boasting, but a real pearl lighthouse.

Even if their house is robbed by Lawrence, this group of people will still choose Lawrence between Pig's Trotter City and Lawrence.

Who makes the Pig's Trotter City more inappropriate......

With Lawrence, at least everyone knows that they can quickly change from slaves to free men, and they can also live a good life that only the nobles outside can enjoy through their military exploits.

From the beginning of joining Lawrence's side, even from the beginning of the slave, the family can live in peace.

The two sides speak the same language, the distance is not too far, and they have actually been communicating all these years, and Lawrence is very willing to accept those people, as long as Pigtrotter City does not stop them, or if someone starts to run away, then it will quickly form a trend.

Isabella was a little suspicious of Lawrence's words, and for the next few days she and the rest of the noble young masters and ladies wore winter clothes and drove around in a sheep cart.

Soon these aristocratic students found out that it was just as Lawrence said.

A large number of refugees came from the south, fleeing with their families to the local forces.

At the same time, the 500-man troops of the Star Nation dispersed into groups of twenty-five, and groups of twenty began to be active in the coastal and inland areas.

Through the guidance of the locals and the fleeing party, the tax collectors, noble guards, and patrols of Pigtrotter City were dealt a deadly blow.

By the time the enraged boar legions rushed from the manor and barracks, the small forces had long since fled.

This time, it was not people who were good at naval warfare, but a group of people who ran fast, lost accurately, had strong endurance, and had active brains.

Originally, I didn't think about taking in too many refugees at all, nor did I think about fighting too fierce battles, and I thought that I could come back after half a month of harassment.

However, the results were unexpectedly good, and with the blessing of long-term good food and winter clothes, the people on his side were very good at night raids.

On the contrary, the Pig's Trotter City side couldn't get a sweater in their hands, and the night was attacked in the dark, and the Overseers couldn't control the slaves and cowards.

After the noble lords were attacked, the serf farmers under the rule of these nobles did not have the idea of avenging the nobles, but quickly fled to the country of stars.

The town of Phumesius could not accommodate too many people for the time being, and these people were soon resettled in the southern town, close to the territory of Stahl.

Given two meals a day for two meals a day, the new captives were soon under the supervision of five hundred Durella warriors to build houses and shelters for the winter.

***

South, Kingdom of Norsenri, City of Querazi, Estate of the Ancient Whisperer's Family

Kassandra stood in her father's study, respectfully reporting what had happened recently.

"The Raven Feather Prophet ordered the Kingdom of Stars to attack the Kingdom of Loven, and many nobles fled to the south to spend the winter, not wanting to fight the madmen of the Kingdom of Stars in winter, and the remaining nobles of the Kingdom of Loven were killed and wounded."

"It is rumored that the soldiers of the Ravenfeather Prophet had crow-like eyes and could see people and insects at night, and the wild boar legions of the Kingdom of Luffin could not see anything at night, and they all hid in houses and caves and refused to go out."

Opposite Kassandra, an old man in his seventies sat thinking about the news.

"It seems that his witchcraft is not only hidden and inherited, but also blessed by the community."

Kassandra gave a look of surprise, "Three? ”

Lentif said with a solemn face: "At least these three abilities should be available, this Crow Feather Prophet is very deeply hidden, and his true strength will definitely not be weak." ”

Kassandra had always thought that Lawrence was an intelligent wizard who was actually not good at fighting, but when she discovered that Lawrence was hiding unfathomable strength, she immediately became even more in awe of that powerful man. (End of chapter)
