Chapter 63: Revenge
The town of Bhumixiu
Lawrence looked at the corpses on the ground with a heavy face.
Sixty-two corpses.
"The Church of Light, the God of Dawn, will definitely pay the price!"
Lawrence drew his sword and looked at the thousands of people nearby.
"The souls of these sixty-two warriors will watch over me from heaven, waiting for the day when I will avenge them!"
"Sixty-two days later! After I pray for these sixty-two warriors and wish their souls to go to Heaven, we will go to destroy the minions of the Church of Light, the abominable Duke of Trandahoof! ”
"Craft weapons! Grow food! Build ships! Build a house! From now on, everyone's efforts, even if it is just catching one more fish or cutting down one more tree, will turn into a force to avenge the dead compatriots! ”
Lawrence didn't want to fight, but the blood debt had to be paid in blood.
Not only the nobles of Pigtrotter City, but also the people of the Dawn Church will have to pay for this!
The war mood of the country of stars was quickly mobilized, and so many people died this time, so many people must be revenged!
Lawrence began to lead the people to bury the sixty-two.
After the funeral, Lawrence began to prepare for revenge.
"Kassandra! Your father has seriously violated the cooperative relationship between us, and what did he think of my people?! ”
Lawrence didn't tell the rest about Rentif's surrender, not wanting the rest to know that the sixty-two people died so aggrieved.
Not saying it doesn't mean that he will endure it, and Lawrence is completely unconcerned about the relationship between Catherine and Kassandra.
"I'll kill him! Avenge my people! Lawrence hates this self-serving coward!
But if Vanentie was willing to take refuge with his men, or if he ran away together, Lawrence would continue to regard him as his father-in-law.
Surrender and escape are not a thing, the point is to abandon others and steal their own lives, or a group of fighters who fight hard!
Kassandra said calmly, "I understand your thoughts, and I won't stop you, those wizards are such cold-blooded existences. ”
Lawrence thought about how to avenge his men, and thought about the Church of Light.
"Why are the people of the Church of Light at odds with wizards? Didn't they interfere with each other before? Lawrence asked about the specific cause of the war.
Kassandra sat elegantly across from Lawrence, with the Dark Elf maid Satice and Emerald behind her.
Lawrence is flanked by Sariel and Sophia, as well as Delenn and Kehalan, among others.
"The priests of the Church of the Light believe that only by gathering people of extraordinary power can a glorious miracle be formed."
"The wizards of the East like to gather together and build the Wizard's Tower and the Ring Tower."
"The wizards of the East have always been more powerful than ours, and this Pope believes that gathering together will make the strong stronger, and the wizarding families and witches scattered in various cities are like bugs sucking the magic power, so that the magic power that should be gathered together is scattered."
"Now many male witches and witches have fled to the east, except for the Dawn Church in the south, there are no more than ten scattered wizards, and the ancient whisperer family is the last wizard family in the Norsenri Kingdom."
Witches are afraid of loneliness, but witches are not afraid, especially men who have pursuits can endure loneliness.
I guess I want to be a wizard emperor and eradicate all those who can threaten you.
Lawrence narrowed his eyes, "Since the dispute can't be resolved, and we don't want to resolve it, then we can only see who can survive to the end!" ”
"I need the location of the Holy Light Church, preferably the various churches and kingdoms along the coast!"
Lawrence abandoned his plans to recuperate, and instead ransacked the southern seaboard with mobility and long-range artillery power.
Leave the recuperation to the Western Kingdom and Steel, and he will attract the population from these places, and at the same time, he will also be half-cultivated and half-martial, and use the barbarians' raiding specialties.
Kassandra quickly used her memories to list the eighteen kingdoms of the south, combined with those of Keharan and Emerald.
Once you have the map, it's time to prepare your weapons.
Lawrence had people go to the toilet fence to collect the white powder, and he and Losanda went to the nearby volcano to collect the sulfur.
More than a dozen pots of nitrate powder were naturally produced in more than a dozen public toilets, and Lawrence quickly refined it, and after careful production, researched the black gunpowder.
Gunpowder is too dangerous, mainly used against wizards and a large number of enemies.
More important than gunpowder were artillery and large ships.
The artillery was done by the craftsmen, and it was kept in strict secrecy, and these people were not allowed to spread the technology.
Lawrence looked at the Oak from the shipyard.
Equipped with rudders, iron planks, refined sails, anchor and oar power rooms, the Oak was the best ship of its time.
But now Lawrence needs a better ship than the Oak!
"How long will it take for the Oak to be launched?" Lawrence looked at Rees, the shipwright.
Reece counted the time every day, "By the time the fall is almost winter, it will be about seventy days." ”
Lawrence calculated the time, "Give you another hundred people, how many days can it be faster?" ”
Reese thought about it for a moment and didn't give a direct reply.
Lawrence waited patiently, an unreliable answer would only be misleading, and what Lawrence needed was an accurate answer.
"It can be shortened by five days." Reece said cautiously: "If you make the board and some places after you go into the water, you can go into the water after sixty days." ”
Lawrence nodded, "Okay, I'll come over often for these two months to help, and I'll also arrange for you a hundred people who can do the work to help." ”
"Yes, Prophet!" Reese felt that sixty days must be enough, because the Prophet was not just watching from the sidelines, he would really help!
There is a prophet here to guide everyone to work, much faster than usual, and the coordination will be smoother.
"In the future, each person will add an egg a day, and you can go to the tavern after dark and drink a free glass of wine."
Lawrence gave new encouragement, and summoned craftsmen from the Vakiri to help and learn.
While busy with the construction of the Oak, he also drew new ship designs in his free time.
[Vengeful Flame]!
The new generation of ships will be equipped with artillery and iron plates, and the mode of combat will evolve from engaging broadside combat to a combination of long-range artillery fire and melee broadside combat.
While busy with R&D and construction every day, Navia, who returned to her hometown to visit relatives, soon returned to Ferry Harbor.
Not only the nobles of Durella came along, but also merchants and traveling knights.
The children of the knight family cannot all become knights, and many people want to follow the nobles but cannot.
Therefore, after knowing that there was an opportunity to make contributions in the Land of Stars, some young people such as five men, six men, and seven men began to converge here.
In addition to visitors from the West, slaves and farmers from the city of Trandahoof also began to flee here en masse.
Because many people from Trantahoof City have come to work before, these people have returned home safely for several years in a row, and they have also brought back food and wages, which has led to a high acceptance of this place by the outside world.
There were also a number of people who could only speak the southern language, who were slaves and peasants in the kingdom of Norsenri.
The reason for coming here is very simple, there is no tax to be paid here, and it is said that bread is also eaten.
There are no onerous taxes, and they will not kill and abuse people casually, as long as these two points are met, even if they are cannibalistic tigers and aliens, they will still surrender.
It is not only the upper echelons like Lentiff who will surrender, but also the people at the bottom who will choose where they can live with their feet.
At the end of the short summer, with a large number of newborns and refugees, the population of Lawrence officially exceeded 20,000.
Lawrence and Count Stehl began an assault on the city of Tranta's Hoof, attacking the domain and estate of the Grand Duke of Pig's Hoof. (End of chapter)
