Chapter 66: The Rising and Falling Times
Lawrence's feet were covered in mud, and the heat from his body dried the mud after hard work, and he dropped a large number of pieces of dirt as he walked.
Bull led the sheep to his side, and the black unicorn in the distance quickly approached, and Lawrence did not need to call.
There is a herd of grazing goats near the distant downhill road, and the local climate is not suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, and most of the area is mountainous woodland with a lack of large flat farmland.
Mountains are not only troublesome in agriculture, but also in animal husbandry.
There is little pasture in the mountain and forest areas, and a large number of cattle and sheep can starve to death in winter, and even in this early spring, most of the grazing cattle and sheep graze at the foot of the mountain.
The cattle are pulled to the flat slopes and near the foot of the hills, and the sheep are placed on the sloping slopes because there is not enough area.
The sheep can walk freely on the sloping hills, and it is easy for people to fall down and die on them.
Ferry Harbor lacked a deep-water port, and Lawrence created it.
Agriculture and animal husbandry could not overcome geographical barriers on a large scale, and Lawrence was well aware that this was not a godsend.
"Bull, you have read the books of the Western churches during this time, and you have also learned about their culture, how do you think the war between our two churches should be handled?"
Lawrence is still inclined to play out, albeit with a steady slow-moving idea, and the core has not changed.
If the people of this land do not go out, they will perish.
The people and animals in this land do not have the soil to live by lying down.
Whether it is the people of the Ice Lands or the animals, they have all gone through cruel screening.
The strong live, the weak die!
Bull thought that Lawrence would continue to ask about abilities, but he didn't expect to talk about the war directly.
"I read a lot of books written by different priests, with their thoughts and hymns, probably because of my dysliteracy, and I thought about a lot of things, and then when I went to follow your will to comfort the families of the dead and wounded soldiers, I also talked to some of the wounded soldiers about the battlefield."
"A lot of fighters have told me the truth, and they all say the same thing."
"At first, I went to the army for money and rewards, or other people's opinions, and I went to the battlefield, and every time I killed someone, sometimes some people would think about why, thinking that it might not be good."
"But when you stand on the battlefield, stand on the boat, and watch the person on the other side with a knife against you, or you rush up with a knife and a gun, you don't think so much about it."
"I think they are all thinking, they don't want to die, if there is only one church to live, then I and everyone hope that it is our Star Church."
Lawrence understood the tendencies of the land, and that no matter what morals and rules were, they could not restrain the innate instincts of human beings.
Multiply.
Grow.
Get out there.
"Since the Church of Dawn has chosen to go to war, then it has no right to stop."
Lawrence's gaze became firm, "It's time for our Armada to go out again." ”
"The Delen is almost finished, and it is said that it will be ready for use in another month or two," Bull said. ”
"That ship is mainly for defense, not for long voyages." Lawrence smiled, "The shipyards of the Hokuriku Kingdom and the Hakuriku Kingdom have almost built the first replica ships of the Oak. ”
Bull forgot about this and said in surprise: "Yes, I forgot that you told the rest of the kingdom about the technology before, and now it is not only the Ferry Harbor and the Cold Ice Harbor that can build ships. ”
Lawrence smiled, "There are also shipyards in Flying Fish Harbor, and the shipbuilding industry there has also prospered after the ships in Port Lorfen were destroyed and burned by us. ”
"Now we can gather the strength of the four kingdoms to fight against the Church of Dawn, and the Church of Dawn can only rely on the Papal State and a few kingdoms with many believers to fight against us."
"In terms of concentration of strength, they are inferior to us, and we can quickly pool the strength and funds of the whole country."
Bull didn't quite understand the level of sophistication here, only that Lawrence was confident.
"I don't know any of this, but I can sense that your enemies are only those who started the war in the Dawn Church, not everyone."
Boole believed in Lawrence's benevolence, as the rest of the land believed, and Lawrence hit many places, bringing only prosperity and happiness.
In this age of frequent deaths, no one cares about those who die.
The surviving Durm, Vakiri, Siddle, Hokuriku, Durela, Gran...... These people were all broken by Lawrence with heavy shackles around their necks.
Being able to eat more, be beaten less, and pay less taxes than before naturally does not miss the rulers of the past as some nobles do.
From the point of view of the inhabitants of the Land of Stars and the vast areas conquered and occupied by the Land of Stars, the war in the Land of Stars is a just war.
Compare the rule of the Vakiri over the Bhumishu, or the rule of the barbarians over the barbarians, and many things do not count at all.
Lawrence could only accept Bull's compliments with a smile, and after knowing that Bull, who could gain divine approval, also supported the war, he didn't care so much about the war.
Land communications were largely cut off, and wars would only be fought in a limited number of countries.
The Durera Kingdom is rich in tin ore because there are large mountain ranges, and the Haisenli Kingdom is only suitable for grazing because there are high mountains in the mainland area, and there are also large mountains between the Kogiac Kingdom and the Hokuriku Kingdom.
The mountains of this era were not at all suitable for military traffic, and the wars between armies and countries were mainly carried by ships and seas.
The country of stars, with its most advanced artillery ships and the most powerful sailors, relied on the Invincible Armada to fight a "foreign country" with only twenty or thirty large ships, which was simply a breeze.
The strongest naval battles in the Western Kingdom, the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of the Waves, are under the command of Lawrence, and the war is not a duel of nobles, without strong ships and cannons and sailors and craftsmen who can operate these, relying on the power of transcendents alone may be able to change the outcome of a battle, but it cannot change the overall defeat.
The news of Bull's mastery of the healing magic technique was quickly transmitted to the Flying Fish Harbor and the Cold Ice Harbor, and continued to spread in the east and west directions.
The Lawrence family, especially Sariel and Sophia, who knew Bull, and Emma were all amazed.
In the eyes of many, Bull is Bull, a low-class tavern girl who used to work at Doug's Tavern, and a woman who can dance and fight a little.
Her presence was weak when she was on the manor, and she was mainly doing odd jobs and talking in Lawrence's house, and her status was far inferior to Emma.
And yet she has mastered the healing technique, mastered the divine art?
From a lowly tavern girl to a saint of the Star Church?!
Only Lawrence saw the kindness, sincerity, kindness and bravery that Bull showed little by little, and the rest of the people stayed more in Bull's past.
Lawrence could sense from the rest of the people's performances and eyes that the healing technique must be a magic technique that only a few people could master, and that this power could not be abused.
Different worlds have different laws, and the transcendent world has its own set of transcendent worlds.
Lawrence does not force everyone to be in the same mind as himself, if some people's knowledge and ability are indeed passed on by blood, Lawrence will not suppress this group of people, but will help another group of people to stand up.
From the bullied Bumians to the enslaved Western slave civilians, from the Boer these priests to the hordes of fighters outside.
Ships and cannons, blacksmiths and gunpowder, industrial, commercial and peasant soldiers, witchcraft that can only rely on bloodline inheritance is no longer a transcendent power unique to this world, let alone a force that determines everything.
Compared to the barbarians' occupation of the kingdom of Gran, it was the fact that Boer had mastered the healing technique that really had an impact on the Western church and the aristocratic merchants.
Mastering the healing technique means that there is really a divine art, and there is really a powerful god as a backer! (End of chapter)
