The Kingdom of Nalan, where the headquarters of the Holy See is located, has many islands below the northern continent and between the continental plates.

The water here is gentle, the environment is also beautiful, the climate is pleasant, the transportation is convenient, and it is not a place of poor mountains and bad waters.

The problem is that there is a large number of clergy living here, and there will be no shortage of priests or wizards who can use divine magic.

As the headquarters of the Holy See, the transcendent group here can definitely exert more power than outside.

Everyone looked at the place Lawrence pointed and fell into deep thought.

Fryce quickly asked, "Who's going to fight this time?" ”

The troops of the country of stars have always been assigned by Lawrence, and in the past, there were few people who had to go together, but later after there were more people, there were only a few who were capable, so they still went together.

These years have been different, since the conquest of two kingdoms, there is no shortage of people who surrendered.

It wasn't that Fryce was too embarrassed to ask for his life, but in Lawrence's opinion, he probably thought the bone was too hard to gnaw.

"This time, the troops are divided into two routes, all the way to assist the garrison legion to protect the border of the Siddle territory and integrate the forest tribes in the border area."

"Those who disobey discipline are foreigners." Lawrence divided the foresters who lived abroad, "to occupy as soon as possible the main road to the south, to build forts in the necessary areas." ”

"Pig's Trotter City will assist us, and we will also assist Pig's Trotter City to guard against interference from the Holy Light Church."

"To the west, they went to Akda, mainly to build churches and military buildings, to escort merchants, and at the same time to strengthen the construction between military and agriculture."

Lawrence is still not in a hurry to fight, and he has laid the groundwork before the actual battle.

Now the country of stars is more important to spread culture and integrate the power of millions of people, rather than fighting guerrilla warfare with those few people.

The barbarians of the past are now the church.

As long as there are no internal problems in the country and there is money to fight, then there is basically no threat from the outside unless the difference in strength is too large.

Lawrence quickly arranged a number of specific people, many of whom were young people who had been cultivated over the years.

The time has come for the country of stars to need young people to go to war, and those former children and young people have also reached the age of taking up arms and going to war.

Most of the young warriors were outsiders, and the blood inside was too precious, and Lawrence was reluctant to let those people fight for their lives, so he only gave them the opportunity to go to the battlefield to learn, and forbade them to rush forward as if they had no brains.

After all, what they have been taught in school over the years is to command and cooperate, not to fight with people as soon as their brains are hot.

The children who came with their parents and brothers are now married and have children, and there are many soldiers who have surrendered during several battles over the years.

Many people used to fight in obedience to their lords, but now they are obligated to work in the land and get paid.

In fact, the difference is not very big, the real difference is that before the war, you don't think about running away, and you don't know anything about what to do on the battlefield.

I usually eat and drink, and I also know that after making meritorious contributions, I can get more rewards and live a better life.

The Frozen Lands were soon mobilized again, and workshops and factories began to produce supplies for the war, such as milk powder and cups, washbasins, as well as clothes, shoes, and socks.

Lawrence contacted the envoys of various countries, handed over a part of the orders to each country, and made a commitment.

"If you are willing to send troops and men, then the land south of Io can be distributed according to merit, including the Blue Kingdom where the Dawn Church is located, whoever fights will belong to whomever he fights."

The envoys near the conference table looked surprised, and some of them thought about it with solemn faces.

But basically everyone thinks this is a good thing, after all, the people of the Kingdom of Stars have been killing the people of the Dawn Church, and the gods and priests of the Dawn Church have not retaliated back, so it proves that the God of Stars is more powerful than the God of Dawn.

There is no revenge, or there is revenge, but people find that the revenge of the Dawn Church is so powerless, so they are naturally not afraid of the so-called God of Dawn.

The people of the Star Church have been fighting the people of the Dawn Church, so the Star Church is even stronger.

This is based on the most primitive barbaric logic, without strength, naturally it will not be feared.

Although there was no final answer to the meeting, Lawrence had already seen the answer he wanted.

Lawrence was reluctant to unify the entire continent, because there would be too much trouble, and he would be overthrown by the people below after a few years of enjoyment.

Then there is the fact that the cost of land governance in the south is too high, and the land where a group of fanatics is located, unless it is completely killed, it will take at least several decades to govern.

There were a lot of transcendents in it, and Lawrence didn't want to say hello to them at all.

There are already islands for vacation, and there are large sandy islands in the Wave Kingdom, which are not suitable for large boats to dock, but small boats run fast in that area, and there are rare blue beaches.

There are also many suitable places for building castles and manors by the sea in Io and Gran, especially in the kingdom of Io, where the south does not freeze in winter.

Sandy islands, plains farms, these Lawrence has a lot of them.

Moreover, now that the industries of various countries have been supported in the embryonic form, there is a broader market, which is more convenient for these countries to make progress in related fields.

Then there is the use of peaceful means to consume a portion of the war-torn population of several countries, which will contribute to peace in the following decades.

In the Star Alliance, the country of stars plays the role of a brother who protects everyone, and now the strength reserves of each country will definitely not be able to maintain after conquering a few territories, and when the time comes, it will naturally protect the waterway and protect the assets to settle in.

It is also necessary to find out the war potential of several younger brothers under him.

Some things can't be judged by data alone, and people's potential is not easy to judge, especially in societies where there are transcendental people, and the power of the individual is sometimes very strong enough to change the pattern of the future.

A stable alliance can spread internal pressure to the outside and form a competitive relationship with each other.

In addition, there is still a lot of territory in the Holy Light Church in the east, and Lawrence must have a stable rear that continues to produce, and the little territory of the Dawn Church is to better confront the Southern Church.

If you occupy the Hokuriku Kingdom and the Kocako Kingdom, you will have to arrange people to manage them at that time, but the problem is that you don't have so many talents.

Land is a long-term benefit, Lawrence thinks that he has already eaten a big bite, if he wants more land when he can't digest the two big pieces of fat in his mouth, Gran and Io, then the remaining kingdoms will definitely be in danger.

These nobles are not stupid, in case these people fall to the Dawn Church, in order to prevent the Star Church from being the only one, they deliberately report to the Dawn Church, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

So give up some of the benefits, this time I am only responsible for escorting the people of the Dawn Church from destroying everyone's land and business, and let the little brothers go to the battle.

If you win, you will be rewarded.

Lawrence has always been fair in the distribution of rewards and benefits, which has won the trust of the nobles of various countries.

Integrity is a very important thing, and once established, it can sometimes work better than gold.

Over the years, the guiding position of opinion has been established through military warfare, and if you want to have a lasting peace, it is necessary to have an external enemy.

The southern kingdom is not suitable, they are too close.

It can't be too far, it's too far away and everyone won't take it seriously.

The best deterrent is the mysterious and powerful East, they are not only powerful, but also rich.

Wars take time, and countries need time to gather forces.

Lawrence could afford to wait, and even hoped to fight again in a few years.

The Kingdom of Stars and the Star Alliance have roughly set the direction of development, and the future is to be filled with the framework of this alliance, and the development direction is also to engage in military and cultural confrontation with powerful countries outside and exchange trade.

It was the middle of April, and by this time Shatis had been out with her team for more than a month.

Lawrence was a little worried about whether Satice had an accident.

"It's been a month since the spring ploughing ended, even if the snow melts outside and the road is not easy to walk, this should come back."

The rest of the people at the dinner table lacked care for Satice, even Saritis's sister Candace, at this time comforted: "Definitely there will be no problem, Satis knows very well how important the things you have given her are, and she will definitely complete the task you have given her as soon as possible." ”

Lawrence didn't care if the mission was completed or not, but whether there was something wrong with Satice.

"The map I gave me should be fine, but a lot of the roads were covered with heavy snow at the time, and some places might be a little more difficult to walk than I expected."

"The last time I went there was a single person, and it was cold, and a lot of animals didn't come out, so maybe they had trouble that I didn't have."

Sarry, who was eating, put a spoon in one hand and put seafood fried rice into her mouth, muttering, "Lawrence, I thought you cared more about those who went to fight in Io. ”

Lawrence didn't want to argue with Sariel, and quickly made up his mind.

"Catherine and I are going out to have a look, and we expect to be back in two or three days."

Kassandra frowned, "We have a lot of things now, and this matter is a task given to Satis, she didn't complete the task you gave it is already a mistake, how can you and Catherine, as the master, go to find her and come back?" ”

In the eyes of Kassandra and some witches, this was something that did not go according to the rules.

Candace quickly said, "Master, please let me check on the situation, if Sartice can't complete the task, I'll take care of it." ”

Lawrence didn't want to expand the problem, and said directly: "I don't mean to blame her, I just stay at home and don't have anything to do in a hurry, I plan to go out and have another look, and inspect the territory to the west." ”

Keharan, who usually doesn't talk much, took the initiative to say: "Now is not the time to be idle. ”

Lawrence looked at Khalan, "What's the matter?" ”

Kehalan reminded: "Since the Holy Light Church in the south wants to deal with us, then naturally there are many forces that have been suppressed by the Holy Light Church who know about this matter, and someone will definitely contact us at that time." ”

"The enemies of the Holy Light Church are not only us and the Western Church, there are not many wizards they have offended over the past few hundred years, although many of them have died, but I think there are still some fresh young people looking for opportunities."

"For example, wizard families such as the family of the ancient whisperers will always leave behind some bloodlines and successors, as well as forest witches and many nobles who have been persecuted by the church."

"The mountains do need to be explored, but it shouldn't be you."

Keharan proposed, "Let that beekeeper be in charge of this, her abilities are well suited to life in the mountains." ”

Lawrence pondered Khallan's proposal, and although Emma the beekeeper didn't like living in the mountains, as Khallan said, the beekeeper's abilities were perfect for exploring the mountains off the beaten track.

"Okay, then wait a few days, I'll talk to her first and see if there's anything I can do to help us."

Kharan continued: "Prepare more delicious food, and we may be able to come into contact with merchants from the East this year. ”

Saliel said happily, "Kharan is right, I think so too, to prepare more delicious food. ”

Lawrence looked helpless, and Khallan smiled.

Sariel's thoughts were not hers-own, but those of many in the room.

Even Kharan has a selfish desire to eat more.

Lawrence said, "Then be more prepared." ”

When the matter was about to be settled, Luoshanda suddenly said: "Since there are Earth Storm Bears and Devil's Mouth Flowers in the mountains, and some mountain people live in the Agama Mountains, then leave this matter to me, I will take Delen and the Clova people to the mountains to retrieve the dark elf, and also see the situation of those Devil's Mouth Flowers." ”

Loshanda does have this ability, and she has a strong offensive ability.

But Lawrence showed a hesitant look, "This matter can be left to the rest of the people, whether it is the Earth Storm Bear and the Demon Mouth Flower, or those mountain people, it is not necessary at the moment." ”

Sensing Lawrence's concern, Loshanda smiled, "I'm not the oldest person here, I'm about the same age as Khalan, and I'm better suited to dealing with Earth Storm Bears than others, and I know more about the situation in the mountains." ”

"I'm going out for a walk, I'm staying in the house all the time, and I'm not feeling well."

"Even if it's a flame, it needs some breeze once in a while."

When Lawrence saw that Loshanda say this, he no longer insisted that the elder stay in the house.

"Okay, then I'll have someone prepare."

Loshanda nodded, and looked at Deren again, "You go with me too, you've been getting lazier and lazier in the past few years." ”

Delenn didn't refute, nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

Loshanda is indeed the best group leader to explore in the mountains.

Lawrence originally only regarded it as a forest area, but Loshanda's attitude gave Lawrence the idea of developing the snow-capped plains behind him.

The soil looks rich, there is plenty of meltwater from the snow-capped mountains for irrigation, and it doesn't feel too cold in winter, making it ideal for growing crops.

The land that can support wild boars and violent bears is certainly richer than the land of ice.

In addition, there is a plain area in the second-floor area that looks not small, which is enough to support a city of tens of thousands of people.

Feeling good about having a place to vacation in winter?

Moreover, military research institutes and scientific and technological research and development offices can be set up in the mountains to ensure that scientific and technological advantages are not discovered by the outside world.
