In the middle of March of the 11th year of the new calendar, the snow on the eaves began to melt, and the sound of continuous precipitation could be heard from morning to evening.

The snow on the mountain began to melt widely, and the wind on the mountain was no longer bitter, but it would take a few days for most of the flowers and trees to emerge from the seemingly barren land.

The sound of clattering hooves came from afar, through the undulating hills and fields, through the dense oak forest, and quickly into the confines of Oak City.

The children and villagers on both sides of the road looked curiously at the messenger rushing away, and felt that something important should be there.

But these people soon continued to be busy with their own affairs, many things had nothing to do with most people, and everyone was used to such a comfortable life.

If there is a war, then there is a war.

The Ice Bloodline has never been afraid of war, let alone the dead.

In the Oak City Ring, Lawrence receives a battle report from the front line in his office.

It was almost a month ago, when the Covenant encountered a fire dragon on Sadie Island, and the Coalition suffered heavy losses.

Lawrence began to think and analyze specific things, and to deduce from the limited information that was in line with common sense, and also in line with the process of the common logic of the transcendent and the mortal.

Saadi Island is farther south and warmer than the Wave Kingdom, but the temperatures are not outrageously opposite.

In other words, beyond the territory of Saadi Island and the Church of Dawn, there is a larger land.

But that didn't matter, Lawrence quickly continued to think about the specific temperature.

"According to the letters of the previous three kings, the occupied Fili region in the north of Sadie Island is more habitable than their kingdom, and they only need to wear two layers of clothing even in the cold winter of November and February."

"The king certainly did not wear linen, but animal skins and woollen clothes."

"There is also the usual food and combat time, and the daylight time in the winter is about eight to nine hours a day."

"It's definitely not the temperature, the people over there don't want to call because the winter here is too cold, and it also means that they are not used to the cold winter here, which proves that the area they live in is definitely more comfortable than ours, so they can't stand it."

"Then the most direct reason is that the navy over there is not strong, very weak."

In fact, the power of ships in this era has always been weak, because of the suppression of merchants by sea creatures, pirates, and church nobles, and the maritime trade has never developed.

The technology of the ships was mainly in the hands of pirates, and countries were very opposed to their own people becoming merchants, or being taken elsewhere by merchant ships.

Lawrence was not surprised that the Church had the strength to destroy the fleet.

In the past, the land of ice has always been fighting more and less, and every time they go out to rob, it is the strongest part of the warriors who rob other people's homeless people, until later, starting from Roven I, three generations organized a large-scale team, and it was gradually scaled up and formalized.

The Land of Ice has always been to fight more and fight less, not to fight more with less, and to defeat the strong with the weak.

In the early days, the Bhumishu were suppressed by the more numerous Vakiri, and if they did not resist, they would die if they resisted.

Later, the Wakiri sent people over, and Lawrence killed the daughters of the people by beating them more and killing them less.

Andrew Redbeard and the others went out to rob and find places where there were not many guards, and used a large number of elite fighters to fight the peasant towns that had lost their protection.

When Lawrence took people out to fight, he also used the more elite fighters to fight those minor nobles.

Later, the kingdom of Decaux retaliated and sent a team of wizard knights to retaliate, but they were also killed by Lawrence with more fights and fewer counter-killings.

Old Earl Steele was also planted on this, thinking that he had brought enough elite warriors, but he didn't expect that the small town of Phumexiu hid hundreds of warriors who dared to fight and kill, and died under Lawrence's group beating.

Whether it was the earliest revenge against the Kurs or the robbery of the Durm, all of them were fought with more and less.

The few times I was beaten, I was all attacked by others, so I beat more and less.

When fighting a naval battle with Pig's Trotter City, Lawrence's side seemed to have a small number of people, but in fact, there were a lot of high-end forces, especially the quality of weapons and equipment, and the quality of personnel, and also gathered regular knights and nobles from several other countries to help.

Without the surprise charge of the cavalry mobile units, coupled with some special terrain environments, it is difficult to defeat the strong with the weak.

This time, a dragon defeated the Star Alliance coalition army, which is indeed in line with winning more with less, but the main thing is that the quality is too high and the mobility is too strong.

Lawrence analyzes the reason for the dragon's success, and ponders why it will leave so quickly.

It may be that the time for transformation has come, and with the existence of a witch like Catherine, Lawrence also wondered if the dragon could also be transformed by a wizard.

But it soon felt unlikely.

First of all, the transformation time can be used, and if you get close to it, you can save a lot of time, and if you cooperate with the ship troops, you can get greater results.

If it's really a dragon, then this dragon must have intelligence.

The weather and climate at that time, coupled with the fact that there should be no reason for the personnel to avoid the battle, this dragon had already achieved some results at that time, and it was completely possible to continue the pursuit and let everyone die in the sea.

"I feel ......," Lawrence frowned, "I guess I'm scared." ”

Lawrence thought of the most likely possibility.

Humans are not easy to mess with.

Although most humans are weak, there are dragon-slaying warriors and the like among humans.

For a dragon, when you see someone yelling at it with a weapon, and at the same time a group of people don't know how to run, it's almost time to run.

If the dragon's intelligence could have had this kind of understanding, it would have lived many more years.

Lawrence quickly put the letter aside and said with a smile: "The order for artillery is coming, let the craftsman's workshop suspend the manufacture of agricultural tools first, it is enough now, and then the main production of cannons will be." ”

The appearance of the fire dragon did not cause Lawrence to be in crisis, nor did he mean to go to the front.

The appearance of this fire dragon will only make Lawrence's artillery business better, and at the same time, it will make the situation of the Church and the supernatural and the fire dragon and other behemoths more dangerous.

As a prophet, Lawrence didn't need to prove how powerful he was, and he didn't need to go to that dangerous place and do anything troublesome.

Whether the dragon was human or a dragon, it had now caught Lawrence's attention, like a bear and a snake in the forest.

"Tell the people below about the appearance of the fire dragon, and write a quest to post in various taverns."

Lawrence leaned back in his chair, smiled and spread his arms, and said loudly, "Everyone in Remport, Cold Ice, Phumixiu, Southtown, Forest Town, Swamp Town, Pigtrotter City, and Flying Fish Harbor knows!" Sadie Island has a dragon! ”

"Whoever can kill that dragon, I will award him the title of Dragon Slayer Warrior! Reward him with money, treasures, and titles! (End of chapter)
