The North is no longer a bitter cold place to avoid, but now it is a sacred place in the minds of many people.

All because of Lawrence Raven Feather, the prophet of the stars of great wisdom.

Under the wisdom and guidance of the prophets, the land became rich and fertile.

Emma went out from the Circle Building with two dogs and more than a dozen people, looking out at the forests and mountains in the distance.

The road ahead was darkened in darkness, and only vague shadows of trees that looked like humans could be seen.

There were strange clouds of green, red, and yellow in the sky, and the whole world was cold and dry, and the whimpering sound of the nearby forest could be faintly heard, like the murmur of the undead.

Emma glanced back at the man who was going to go down the hill with her.

In addition to a few men in charge of the guards, there were five girls.

Sophie, Heidi, Tim, Clara, Lolita, five girls stood in the line from tall to short, each wearing a thick sweater, and a plush inner layer on top of the sweater, and a smooth fur coat on the outside.

"Let's go!"

Emma walked ahead with a lamp, and the men walked on either side with dogs and weapons.

Sophie has already experienced the cold here, but with all kinds of cold protection tools and plenty of food, she feels that the winter here is not so unbearable.

Heidi is a pure-blood witch or a water witch, and is naturally more resistant to cold than the rest.

Lolita has also awakened superpowers and is more resistant to frost than others.

Clara and Tim were a little trembling, holding their hands in front of them and hiding under their armpits, although they were wrapped in cotton balls, they still felt that their fingers and toes hurt from the biting cold wind all over their bodies.

Clara and Tim, who look bad, don't receive sympathy from others.

The procession set off quietly, conveying the Prophet's orders to the distant town of Bhumisius.

Walking on a cold night is not an easy task, but it is something that many people must experience.

Neither a woman nor a child is qualified to be willful.

The education of the Holy Women's Academy cannot only be in a warm castle, without experiencing some things, it is difficult to have the consciousness to protect others, and it will not cherish everything that is easy to get.

The people descended the mountain along the path that the messenger had trodden before.

All you have to worry about is slipping or something like falling into a valley, being buried in heavy snow, or encountering man-eating beasts in the middle of winter.

Emma stepped on the ice, making it difficult to find her way through the blurry darkness.

Fortunately, as long as you remember it, there is still a road with a fence to build forward.

On the Colossus of the Prophet in the town of Bhumesius is a lighthouse that guides the lost, and you can see the light there just by going down the mountain.

It's a lot easier than it was a long time ago.

Emma felt cold and pain, but was patient like the rest.

Feeling too uncomfortable, he took out the spirits that had been heated before leaving and took a sip, and then passed the spirits to the children behind.

Sophie quickly took a small bite, and her cold body quickly warmed up a bit.

Alcohol is not a good thing to drink, and even the greedy Lolita only tastes it in small sips.

But in this icy environment, wine is a good thing that can save your life.

The crowd reached the town of Phumetheus with difficulty, and after a few minutes of warmth from the cathedral maid brought a brazier, they held a wooden teacup and conveyed the prophet's command.

Safi looked troubled, "If you set off at such a time, many people will freeze to death." ”

Brielier and the two fleeing messengers looked at the man with displeasure.

Brielier quickly said, "The prophet's order is absolute, where will the five hundred men be found this time?" Where are the Vakiri, or is it Siddle's? ”

The situation is not too good now, Seravon has gone to Pig's Trotter City, Beauf is in Ice Harbor, Gliss is in the Viper tribe downstream, and there is only Fryth here in Phumisius Town.

After all, everyone thinks that Eternal Night is the safest time, and they didn't think that Eternal Night would also send troops.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, the doors of the church were opened again.

The janitor, um pushed open the door and said respectfully to the nun inside, "The Earl has arrived. ”

A red-haired woman walked into the house with two of her men.

Everyone looked at the woman and knew that it was Lawrence's lover, Countess Orea of Vakiri.

Wearing a thick bearskin coat and a beautiful white fur hat on her head, O'Auja was different from the charming and docile slut temperament in front of Lawrence, and now O'Lauya's indifferent expression and face exuded only coldness and silence.

"This time, I'll lead the team, and I'll find five hundred people who are willing to fight to the death to keep up."

Olauya said disdainfully, "The Prophet told those people that those who showed strength in the battle of blood and fire, whether men or women, slaves or peasants, as long as they had strength, would be reused. ”

This time, it directly bypassed the original general system and directly selected from everyone.

The battlefield is a trial!

O'Raua looked at the five girls again.

"You five come with me, this is the Prophet's command."

Emma's heart tightened, Tim was going to work in the kitchen in the future, why did he also go to the battlefield?

Heidi remembered her men at this time, and quickly asked, "Can I go and bring the nobles who used to work for me?" Now they are martial arts instructors at the master's martial arts school. ”

O'Raua said casually: "Yes, get ready, and go to Ferry Harbor in twenty hours!" ”

Heidi longs for an opportunity to show her worth, and when this opportunity comes, she has no fear of war in her heart.

The youngest Lolita was also not so afraid, but very excited.

Emma was also unable to stop Lawrence's decision to give her opinion on such a matter.

Luckily, um was just a janitor, and Emma looked at the young man standing on the side.

Now the twelve-year-old um is already a teenager, one meter six tall, and his body can be regarded as strong, but he looks a little honest.

Emma plans to find a woman for um in another three or four years, and there are many girls in the territory now, and there are also options such as Freis's daughter and Tulaka's daughter.

The Land of Ice only needs to be fourteen years old to get married, and the life expectancy here is generally less than forty, the life span is short, and the development rate is extremely fast, and more than fourteen years old is considered an old woman.

The younger generation of the Land of Stars has not yet grown up, and it will take at least six or seven years to go.

The main force at the moment is not young children, but slaves scattered all over the place.

These new slaves, or those who had been captive for several years, had integrated into the Land of the Stars and believed in Lawrence Raven's promise.

They are inferior to the strong Northern Barbarians in terms of individual strength, but these people dare to fight, are better at group combat than Barbarians, and are more like robber mobs than traditional bandits.

This group of people, especially those with wives, children, and homes, is aware of the risks and the value of the rewards of war.

People with families are generally willing to join the army, and there will be organized and planned participation, and the participation of the group will be organized and planned in the form of neighbors and production teams that work together in peacetime.

Those who were left to take care of their wives and children went out to make their fortunes, just like the pirates who once went out to sea to rob.

Most of them are no different, the only difference is that they are more at ease, because they know that the prophet will take care of their family and children, and even if they die, they will have the prophet's pension to keep the family fed and clothed, and they will not die in vain in a strange land.

Countess Olaúa did not go to the Vakiri to call for help, but simply recruited more than 600 soldiers from the town of Phumesius and the port of Dum, and then drove the revenge to the port of Dum.

The Oak was piloted by Baron Vakiri, who had spent the winter here this year, and both Akda and Crete had spent the winter in the town of Phumesius, which was much more comfortable than in the Barony's domain.

Suliman of the Sail Cables, Bobo the Lookout, several surrendered knights from the Wave Kingdom, knights from Heidi's homeland, and even a shield force of women.

The mobilization here was very fast, just loaded with fuel, food and wine, and the fleet of two large ships and five medium ships quickly sailed to the port of Flying Fish.

***

Aboard the Revenge, O'Laua is looking at a map of the West, a map of the sea area that Lawrence has given her.

The goal this time is to take a fierce revenge on the Church of Dawn and keep the other seven nations in power through a powerful attack.

The kingdom of Deco, the kingdom of Hokuriku, the kingdom of Haisenli, the kingdom of Io, the kingdom of the green forest, the kingdom of Kogiako, and the kingdom of Gran, these countries also have a large number of believers in the Dawn Church.

The overthrow of the Kingdom of Durella by the Church of Dawn has made several kingdoms fearful and resistant.

Lawrence's request is very simple, it is to fight!

Before fighting, let the fugitive nobles of Durella elect a representative, and then have the Durella people inform the rest of the countries that the Star Nation is in action, which will help the Kingdom of Durella liquidate the traitors who have subverted the regime, and will also help the dangers of the other countries.

Whether it is to fight the church members of the Durella Kingdom, or the church forces in the nearby Kocako and Hokuriku Kingdoms, in short, it is necessary to strike decisively and let people know that the fist of the Star Church is not an ornament.

While O'Rowa was thinking about what to do, Tim brought his first meal on board.

"Lord O'Lauya, it's time to eat."

Tim, who often helps out in the kitchen, has learned several cooking skills, and thanks to his mother, who is a head maid, he easily becomes a fleet cook.

She only does housework, and when she gets on the boat, she instinctively does what she can.

Instead, Heidi and Lolita are practicing witchcraft, reviewing the witchcraft techniques taught by Losanda in class.

Clara is still young, has not awakened witchcraft, and does not have the body of a girl like Sophie, so she honestly stays by O'Rowa's side to pass on the word.

O'Raua stood up, walked to the table, and began to eat.

This was the captain's bedroom, and the hull of the Revenge was twice as large as that of the Oak, and was divided into five tiers up and down, two below deck and three above, and the high deck could be ascended directly by ladder on the shore, and there were twenty-four windows around the hull, twelve iron cannons in each row on the left and right.

At the same time, it is equipped with a rudder device that was not available in this era, and the direction of the ship can be adjusted through the rudder.

Not only that, but the ship is also equipped with a fireproof cement coating, but only as a backup, and the best way to deal with the flames is to give the fire wizard a shot before he gets close!!

The sailors had clean rooms, except that they could not light fires, they were given enough blankets and bedding, and the ship's dining room was well supplied with hot water.

More supplies will be transported from the manor to Flying Fish Harbor, and although the eternal night is not over, the darkness will no longer be able to stop the revenge of the Star Church. (End of chapter)
