Chapter 61: Valley of Fire

With the task instructions in place, managers everywhere know how they want to organize their work.

Lawrence's job is to build an effective defense mechanism, which relies not on lighthouses and trees, but mainly on people who are willing to report the news.

In addition to going to various places to plant trees, Lawrence also conducts inspections in various areas to help locals find things to do as quickly as possible.

Lawrence took Sariel, Delenn, Catherine, Emma, Losanda and others into the forest.

He was followed by more than a dozen Claudadians, who, like Deren, hadn't been back to the valley for a long time, and this time Lawrence came to take a look.

Most of the people rode Dom sheep, with the exception of Lawrence and Catherine riding Ornithistriumphs.

This animal, which looks like a mixture of birds and lizards, is endemic to the south, and new avian lizards can breed between males and females.

Ornichiathistes are egg-born, with an adult ornichiatrian head two meters high, a back one meter six above the ground, and a body length of more than two meters.

The avian lizard looks like a lizard that stands up bent over, but it has finger-long hair, a beak like a bird, and a tail with feathers and hooked claws.

Bird eggs are poisonous and can not be eaten, can lay two or three eggs at a time, much better than most cattle and sheep, millet and meat can be eaten, it can eat anything that people can eat, can not digest grass, but likes to eat poisonous grass and leaves.

Somewhat fond of eating corpses, able to smell corpses from a great distance, and interested in meat and plants that can poison the rest of the creatures, as well as water.

If you see other animals and people being poisoned in front of your eyes, you will definitely try it.

The disadvantages are also obvious, in addition to low IQ and inability to eat, poor stamina, slow movement speed, completely dependent on human breeding, and itself lacks the ability to survive in the wild.

There is currently no livestock to replace horses, and domes and reindeer are only suitable for small ranges and not for expeditions.

Snowdogs are much better than horses, especially after the snow in winter, these well-trained snowdogs are simply the most suitable god-level mounts for this area.

If you don't want to dominate the entire continent and just occupy the entire kingdom of Rofen and a little area to the south to the west, the combination of domes, reindeer and snowdogs is enough now.

More than 10,000 people didn't need to think about so much, Lawrence got off the avian lizardbeast and walked over to the boulder and stood.

"Push the stone away."

Lawrence looked at the person behind him and issued the order.

Salyl rolled up her sleeves and walked over.

Lawrence looked at the woman calmly, "Let them come." ”

Under Sariel's bewildered gaze, Lawrence looked at the Claudadians.

"Push this stone away!"

Sariel took the initiative and said, "They can't push it away, this stone is very heavy. ”

"If one doesn't work, two, and if two can't, ten!" Lawrence seemed to have forgotten that he couldn't push the boulder in the first place.

The Kloda man quickly walked over.

"Yes, Prophet!"

The men also knew that the stone was heavy, and that five strong men were standing on one side, and several others were on the side to help with the effort.

The stone was much lighter than expected, and the ten people quickly pushed the stone out without much delay.

Sophia watched this scene in surprise.

"Has the stone become lighter?"

Saliel glanced curiously at Sophia, then at the big rock in front of her.

"How do you see it's lighter?" Sarriel wondered how Sophia could see the stone become lighter, she didn't remember learning this kind of science and being able to see the weight change at a glance.

Sophia looked at the big stone suspiciously, "In the past, it was very hard for Sariel and us to push it away, but they pushed it away so easily. ”

Sariel showed a stunned expression, "Ten of them combined, even a big boar can be pushed down." ”

Sariel, who is regarded by Sophia as a strong man, is actually a woman with a lot of common sense and no low intelligence.

"That's it!" Sophia nodded, accepting the logical statement.

As soon as the Clauda pushed the cave open, he smelled a foul smell, so he moved away from the vent and stood to the side.

At this time, several Clauda's bodies came out of the dark cave, their bodies were stinking, their hair was knotted and covered with mud, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

The four Clauda's who came out looked at the stranger outside, and then at the man in the distance who wore a fluffy brown bearskin hat and had a crow feather on his shoulder.

As soon as Deren was about to speak to the men, he saw a wild man raise his axe and throw it at Lawrence.

Delenn quickly reached for the weapon at his waist.

At this time, Saliel was talking to Sophia about how much the stone weighed.

Boom!

Lawrence slashed the axe to the ground with a sword.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Lawrence calmly inserted the long sword in his hand into the scabbard again.

There was no need for Lawrence to do anything, and Candace's bumpy sexy body rushed into the four Claudadians, and in a matter of seconds they solved three with a dagger.

Delen also used his axe to knock the Kloda who had just attacked a meter and a half away, and poured it into the dark cave behind.

"Catch it and ask what's going on." Lawrence frowned and looked at the Clauda.

Loshanda walked up to Lawrence, his expression equally grim, and he didn't understand what the Claudans were mad about.

Saliel looked at Lawrence, and then at the copper axe that Lawrence had cut down on the ground, "Lawrence, I was talking to Sophia just now, and I didn't expect those people to be enemies too. ”

Lawrence nodded, "I didn't expect it either, I don't blame you for this incident, and I will punish Sophia for a month's snacks." ”

Sophia was the one in charge of security, and this time not only did she not report anyone in the cave, but she also affected the attention of the rest of the people.

If it weren't for Lawrence's quick eyesight and his usual focus on guarding against hidden arrows and projectiles, he would probably have to take a hit at this time.

The party Sophia didn't dare to have an opinion, and said cautiously and aggrievedly at this time: "Yes, master." ”

Lawrence's strength is not weak, but when he has to do it himself, he usually doesn't risk his life.

Fights and fights are only for profit, not catharsis, and usually do not take the initiative to prove their bravery.

Because it's not necessary.

As a prophet, Lawrence didn't need to show his might to intimidate a group of savages, so there was no need to be more brutal or brutal than they were.

The identity of the prophet is already terrible, and subtly, many people take the initiative to kneel down when they meet, and even consciously regard themselves and the prophet as two creatures when they speak.

In this case, Lawrence needs to show his approachable and kind and talkative side to win people's hearts, and simple violence and force ostentaties are not advisable.

Combat effectiveness mainly depends on physical fitness, skill and reaction, determination to kill, and weapons and equipment.

Lawrence is actually not lacking in these four aspects, it is true that he can't beat a few berserkers, but it's not that any barbarian can't beat him.

Delenn walked up to the attacker and asked in the language of the Klodaans, "Why did you attack us?" ”

"Traitor!" The attackers roared: "You have abandoned us! Damned traitor! You deserve to die like the Raven Demons! ”

Loshanda walked over and looked at the tribal pariahs with a gloomy face.

"I have left the land to you untouchables, and you have forgotten this favor! And attacked my children! ”

"Go underground and atone for your sins!" Loshanda did not give the man any time to continue living.

The man didn't recognize Loshanda at first, the previous Loshanda was much older, and the current Loshanda looked very different.

Loshanda faced the man with one hand directly, and soon the man's hair and body emitted heat, and then there was a fire that filled his body!

Under the scorching flames, the man quickly turned into a dead corpse and recognized the former tribal prophet.

Delenn looked at a few Kloda's around him, "Why didn't you tell me about the tribe?!" ”

The people of nearby Clauda were also very wronged.

"Chief, we haven't been back for years, and we don't know what's going on here."

Delenn frowned, she hadn't been back for a long time.

Luo Shanda, who was standing on the side, looked the same, and had not paid attention to the affairs of the tribe in the past few years.

Soon Delenn told Lawrence what had happened, and the group carefully entered the stinking cave with torches filled with feces and food waste.

There weren't many Crodas left in the valley, and they all looked extremely unhealthy.

Lawrence quickly understood the situation.

Previously, the Claudadians were divided into three classes.

At the top are the warriors,

Intermediate craftsmen

Slaves of the lower class who give birth to children

After the upper and middle classes went out to join Lawrence's side, the valley became a paradise for the inferior.

When there are fewer people, the people here can eat as much as they want, and they can go to the good houses of those who have left, and use what they have not taken with them.

The slaves, unrestrained and at the same time trapped in the valley without pressure, soon went crazy.

After the formation of a new class, these people did not replace the original Clauda, because of the lack of craftsmen and no one to engage in technology, but because of the relationship between food and drink, they continued to mess with the relationship between men and women.

Originally, there were many deformed children here, and the new class after losing the original ruler was based on those close to them, which led to problems in the circle of dozens of people.

A few dozen people became a dozen, and then several people.

After discovering that there were human bones in the food campfire, Lawrence and the others quickly cleaned up the last few living people.

After cleaning the portal, Loshanda looked at this dilapidated and dirty place, and didn't want to stay for a second.

"There's feces everywhere, there's filth everywhere, you go first, I'll burn this place!"

Lawrence quickly put an end to this barbarism.

"I'm still useful here, and I'll arrange a group of people to plant here in the future, and now we'll go."

Losanda didn't know what Lawrence was going to plant, but it didn't matter.

The group soon passed through the cave full of stench and feces, and after walking out, the witches were finally able to breathe normally.

Delenn looked at Lawrence, who had had had a question for years.

"Lawrence, as long as it's inbred, does that weird stupid thing come out of it?"

Lawrence mounted the avian lizard and walked towards the busy manor, answering the questions of the crowd.

"From a small number of people alone, the chances of being sick or disabled are not very large, maybe one or two, two or three out of five children, or one, or five."

"Odds are a kind of thing, just rely on gambling, and no one can say 100 percent."

"But it's clear to me that we're going to have a lot of people in the future, a hundred thousand, a million, a million, even more."

"If there are a million children born in 10 million miles, and hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled children in 1 million children, then the whole country will be in crisis."

Lawrence forbade consanguineous marriages from the beginning, and just because one couple alone doesn't have problems doesn't mean the rest of the family doesn't have problems.

If there is a problem on a large scale, it is equivalent to a tumor growing on the person's face, and when the time comes, it will be a severe pain to cut it off, and if it is not cut off, it will be waiting for death.

Now every couple gets married to find out the blood relationship, and after the ban on close relatives marrying, no matter where they are, they are less resistant to people in other places.

However, the Kloda people in the valley are not all due to this problem, mainly because they do not have the ability to build the foundation, and after the departure of the wise and skilled people of the tribe, excessive freedom has led to chaos and destruction.

In order to rule the rest of the people, in order to weaken the influence of Loshanda and others, and to strengthen the legitimacy of their own rule, there is no problem in calling Delenn and others traitors and themselves demons.

This incident also made Lawrence value his rule, and if a place was out of control for a long time, it would inevitably rebel against his authority.

If the territory is large, it will not be managed, and his current territory is far beyond the jurisdictional area.

At the moment, the optimal solution is not to capture the city of Tranta's hooves, but to absorb the population of the cities of tranta's hooves.

Such a weak Tranda Hoof can be used as a buffer zone in the middle, preventing itself from colliding directly with the Southern Kingdom and the Church.

Otherwise, after occupying the city of Trandahoof, it will be directly bordered by the south, and while the population increases, the defensive area will also be doubled.

But the Flying Fish Port side also needs to be defended, and after the battle line is extended, he can't defend it at all.

At present, there are only one or two thousand soldiers who can fight, and the total population is less than 20,000.

It's okay to fight if you want to, just continue to fight Tranda Hoof City anyway, maintain a certain amount of force deterrence, but you don't need to occupy it all.

The people who want to fight are just loud, but in fact there are not many people, and there are still many women and children here.

After returning to the manor, Lawrence began to arrange for some elderly people, or those who were injured in the war and could not continue, to build houses in the Valley of Fire.

The task of these people is to grow nitrate!

Sulfur and charcoal are not difficult to obtain, and many can be obtained from the nearby mountains, while saltpeter can only be cultivated by traditional methods.

Simulate a toilet environment, and then build a wall near the manure pit, where the valley climate is ideal for growing nitrate. (End of chapter)
