Once he had decided that he was going to fight, and that he was going to fight outside, Lawrence was thinking about where to set up the battlefield.

"If there is really going to be a fight, there must be a smooth logistics channel, which can allow the industrial supplies and medicines of the country of stars to be quickly put into the battlefield."

"When the Armada goes out to show off its might and rule the right to trade at sea, there must be a stable supply."

"Green Forest Kingdom...... The distance is so close, and it is close to the waterway on my side, and it has something to do with the Dawn Church. ”

"As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, so why run all over the mountain if there is grass next to the nest?"

The tradition on the part of the barbarians has always been to start nearby, and even Lawrence of the civilized world feels that unless it is worthless, as long as it is valuable land and treasures, how can there be any reason not to occupy it?

Rural neighbors will be bleeding from a few centimeters of land, not to mention the country.

Unless it is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, there is no such thing as a boundary.

Lawrence arrives in the town of Peumitheus and summons several military nobles and civil officials to discuss the arrangements for the war.

"Now we have strong ties with the three surrounding countries, providing each other with goods and intelligence technology."

"The kingdom of Haisenli developed shipping, shipbuilding, and aquaculture."

"The Hokuriku Kingdom developed animal husbandry, iron smelting, winemaking, fishing, and jewelry processing, and we taught the waterwheels and windmills of the past to solve the problem of manpower shortage on their side."

"The kingdom of Kocako develops technologies such as agriculture and ore smelting, and produces instruments and equipment for craftsmen's workshops, and from this year we will buy equipment there, which will save a lot of time and manpower to develop new technologies."

"We develop gunpowder, printed books, compasses, paper, and other technologies here, and we also sell some technology when we build ships, so that for every ship we build, we have to pay us a sum of money for a technology patent."

"In the future, when we use their technology, we will also have to pay royalties."

"In this kind of exchange, we can establish closer ties between the four countries, but now the Kingdom of Durella and the Kingdom of Green Forest have not officially cooperated more closely with us."

"The Church of Dawn is already planning to deal with us, we are also going to launch the Armada to go to sea, and we also need a strong army on land to protect the security of the nations."

Fryce looked at Lawrence, "Prophet, do you hear the voice of God?" ”

Everyone nearby looked at Lawrence nervously and excitedly.

As long as it is God's command, then it must be done, and no one can stand in the way.

Unlike normal wars, religious wars do not need to be considered for gains and losses, and can reduce a lot of worries.

Lawrence said calmly: "God is not our parents, he will not take care of everything, and he will not be like a child, thinking of his parents and getting a response when he shouts." ”

"God has given us much, and God is merciful, not weak, and will not allow us to take from Him at will."

"What we are going to do is the land that the patron saint has given us! This is something we should all do! ”

Lawrence gave up the negotiation and determined what to do as a dictator.

"Our enemy is the Church of Dawn! Outside the God-given blessed land, a wicked group of heretics is peering into our rich land! ”

"They will come and kill our men and children, eat or burn our women, and in order to prevent these evil people from invading our homes and destroying our farmlands and houses, we must block them from the outside!"

"Now go back and count the soldiers in your respective ranks who are willing to go to battle, I want a specific number, the minimum age is fifteen years old!"

Fryce and the other military nobles who had previously been rewarded with knighthoods quickly said, "Yes! Prophet! ”

Fighting a war is the duty of the military aristocracy, and it is also the honor pursued by the men of this land.

The Land of Stars has only been established for a few years, and there have been many battles of all sizes, and men, women, and children are used to this kind of thing.

With every war, more people, more supplies, more land and livestock.

The war was able to reap huge profits, as well as to be exchanged for meritorious titles and land, and with strong logistical support, each region could quickly organize a team with the orders of the prophet.

Lawrence, after a dull disengagement of the generals, sat in the conference room of the church and thought alone.

The Green Forest Kingdom must be mastered, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable for this thing to be stuck in the heart when fighting with the Dawn Church.

Either cooperate, or be conquered, how can there be neutrality at the door of others when fighting, and it is not so strong that others can't fight.

"I don't know what happened to Oloda and the elves when she went back, but if she still plans to be neutral, it's really a bit difficult to do."

It can defeat the Green Forest Kingdom, but even if there are only a thousand of those elves, they are still a very powerful force, and I don't know how many transcendents are in it.

It is also possible that after the fight, it will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and then a group of witches and witches who can't beat the barbarians will come and assassinate themselves.

But from many witches, Lawrence also saw another possibility.

As long as their side is willing to accept those elves and witches, these sane and intelligent groups will not have any concept of state.

After sending an envoy to the Green Forest Kingdom to inquire about the situation, Lawrence stopped thinking about the Green Forest Kingdom for the time being.

"Brielier, are all the students at the convent okay lately?"

Brielier stood beside the table and said, "It's all good, the Kogiko Kingdom and the Hokuriku Kingdom often write to ask about related techniques, and these days I have been studying spring plowing and ironmaking in the monastery. ”

Lawrence nodded, now that the alliance of the four countries has been strengthened, it will not take a few years for the three kingdoms supported by the Star Church to gain the strength to conquer outward.

Thinking of the alliance between the four nations, Lawrence suddenly felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry to destroy the Church of Dawn.

At present, the main basic plate of the Dawn Church is only the Kingdom of Io and a few countries far away, and it is actually beyond its reach.

Even the people of the Church of Dawn convinced the king of the kingdom of Io that if he wanted to sail in this era, he needed meticulous sailing skills.

The Church of Dawn obviously does not possess this kind of technology, and the Kingdom of Io, as a land kingdom dominated by infantry and cavalry, is also not good at it.

Without a sufficient number of sailors, as well as the relevant technicians, these people at most walked along the coastline, and the speed of such a voyage was very slow, and the crew's body was prone to problems.

Lawrence thought of Aurunzhi Powder, "Find out the sales of Aorunzhi Powder in the past two years, I remember seeing it before, but I forgot it." ”

Brielier quickly said, "Yes! I'll go! ”

"No, I know that." Kassandra called out to Brielier and said directly to Lawrence: "Last year's sales were 4,100 catties, which was sold, and we used 6,000 catties of powder to fight the war ourselves, and transported 300 tons of oranges. ”

"The year before last, it was 5,500 catties sold, and the envoys from various countries bought a lot, and last year because of the war, there were fewer merchants from several countries."

Lawrence was pleased with Kassandra's ability and smiled, "That's fine, it seems that those people outside have not noticed the importance of the voyage technology, and they have not even prepared for the basics." ”

Kassandra quickly understood what Lawrence meant, and asked, "Oranges are not rare, and perhaps there are many oranges growing in the West." ”

"It's possible." Lawrence didn't underestimate others, "But there's a lot of technology beyond oranges, and if they don't do anything about it, it just means that they think it's easy to get to us by boat." ”

"People who underestimate the sea will behave even more when they face the other side of the sea."

Many of the abilities of wizards, especially male wizards, can be called metamorphosis, but the various witchcraft known so far are not enough to compare with real nature.

Especially the terrifying storms at sea.

Even a slightly more intense ocean storm, a storm on the sea, can let the ignorant gods know what is a force worth fearing.

Without a ship large enough to sail far, without the technology and knowledge to shelter from wind and rain, to be able to locate the direction, it is an extremely dangerous thing to drift at sea.

Seeing that Lawrence was so confident, Kassandra remembered something else.

"What about the Church of Light?"

Lawrence explained, "The Church of Light in the south is still persecuting witches, searching for witches everywhere, and their minions are also hunting down those noblewomen and single women, and many people are now more willing to capture single women than come to us to catch barbarians. ”

The sacrifice of those warriors before defended the dignity of the northern border with their lives, making the whole church feel that this side is very difficult to fight, and this is in exchange for two or three years of peace.

In addition, the Star Church did not develop to the south, and some erroneous information led the Southern Church to think that there was no threat here.

The battle between Durella and the Kingdom of Gran is basically an ordinary invasion battle.

The Holy Light Church itself has been taken down a territory by the Luofen Kingdom, and it is very receptive to the fact that the Dawn Church has been taken down by the barbarians, and I don't think there is any problem.

Uneducated barbarians, even if they occupy territory, will be tamed.

Due to the influence of distance and intelligence transmission, only two or three years is not enough time for distant countries to know every move on this side. (End of chapter)
