A bad night was coming, and everyone had half an hour to prepare before going down the mountain.

The men and women who arrived from the Land of Ice were well aware of the importance of this time, and quickly busied themselves with setting up the makeshift camp after eating.

Most of the people eat bread and slices of meat, and they take the iron stove from the kitchen cart with flour and meat cubes, and make bread with yeast and bread-specific flour, and they also make steamed noodles with special flour.

There is no need to wait for Lawrence to come back to eat, and some of the people who need to work on duty will eat early, usually the first food to be made after the stove was moved.

Most people eat in just over ten minutes, and the Lawrence family eats in the carriage, where the warm light radiates through the glass windows.

The crowd took the owner's carriage as the central point, and put the rest of the loaded carts outside for a circle.

It's not to guard against wild beasts, maybe you need to do this when there are more than a dozen people, but you really don't have to worry about it when there are hundreds of people.

The outside of a circle of carriages is mainly for windproofing, many people because of the relationship between the living environment and cognition, used to according to their own living environment to be at the mercy of their own living environment, if there is a wall outside, it is easier to know how to furnish inside.

The moose, cows, and sheep pulling the cart have all eaten their fodder and are resting by the cart after returning from drinking from the water.

Tents and wooden huts were set up to serve as resting houses for maids or rain shelters for vigils to store supplies.

There were only a few carriages, except for the Prophet's car, the rest of the carriages were stored with important supplies, especially the kitchen car, which was related to whether everyone could eat fresh hot bread and drink hot wine.

When encountering a difficult road along the way, the prophet will come down, and the various supplies in the kitchen car will not come down and walk on their own, but there will be no complaints when everyone pushes the bulky kitchen cart that can bring hot food to themselves, this is the guy who eats.

From the lit fire, several flames quickly separated, and the experienced man brought the fire with a stick, put it in the stacked matchstick, and when it was hot, he set up an iron pot, and then put the wolf bones and deer bones collected on the road into the stew, usually boiled overnight, and waited until tomorrow morning to soak the bone broth with the bread that he had made today.

Usually this meaty smell attracts a lot of carnivorous beasts, but these people don't care about the danger.

There were supposed to be ten fires, but Kellyon, who was in charge of setting up the camp, felt that the suitable places for activity were too small, so it was reduced to eight.

In the Land of Stars, because of several wars, many people have had marching experience in the army, or learned from school, and most of them are reviewing this knowledge this time.

There were only 100 women in the 500-strong team, and the rest were young men and Oak City veterans, and learning from the marching experience was also an important part of making a career.

Including internal security, patrols, investigations, logistics and construction, etc., are all carried out by some old people and new people.

A few seconds after the sun set, night arrived, and most of the area was pitch black, with only a small area illuminated by a campfire.

In order to prevent accidents, the warriors installed seven lighting beads on lampposts three or four meters high, and then looked for a place to settle down.

One in each of the four directions, one at the water's edge and one at the toilet, and the last one must be in the center of the line.

Most people are busy, and when it's almost time to find a sheltered place to sleep.

The little nun placed a bucket between the kitchen cart and the other car, filled it with half a bucket of cold water, and then walked to the river.

The little fish-man does not lie on his stomach in the water, he is a clever little fish-man who has found a place to sleep in the reed boat that Lawrence rides in the evening, and also protects the two ducklings to sleep with.

Compared to land, the boat does not have much disadvantage except for the swaying.

Because of the depression inside the hull, it can avoid most of the cold winds.

The little nun quickly walked into the reed boat and said carefully: "Yubao, I have prepared a bucket for you, and hot water, do you want to go to sleep?" ”

Xiao Yubao quickly peeked out of the hole in the boat where towels and clothes were piled up, and shook his head at the little nun who was outside, "Wang~"

The little nun saw that Yubao did not go to sleep in the bucket, so she took out a piece of yellow sugar from her pocket.

"This is the candy Tim gave me, for you to eat, Tim is a good person, we ran out of candy, she gave us her candy."

Yu Bao happily caught the candy cube with both hands and let out a happy cry.

After being bullied by Fuo last time, Lawrence gave the little nun some compensation and rewards, in addition to clothing and food, there were also sweets that everyone liked to eat.

The little nun shared the candy with Tim and Clara, and after seeing the little nun and Yubao having an unpleasant quarrel today, Tim gave the candy he secretly hid to the little nun.

With the help of candy, Little Yubao and Little Nun quickly reconcile.

The night passed quickly, and after dawn everyone saw the familiar sunshine again.

Winter has already entered the land of ice, and you can see the heavy snow on the high mountains along the way, but it is still autumn here.

Even so, it can feel cold in summer clothes, and the absence of heavy snow and cold winds here does not mean that you don't need to wear heavy clothes.

Fortunately, the area where I lived before was all cold zone, and some people have adapted to the alpine climate of Oak City and the manor, so when they came to the relatively low altitude, there was not much discomfort.

It is much better than Oak City in all aspects, and the biggest problem at present is that all kinds of supporting facilities are not complete, and there is no convenience like Oak City.

Oak City's convenience is built up by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people, and it will take a few years for this place to catch up with it.

Lawrence came out of the cramped compartment and was uncomfortable sleeping in the compartment.

The rest of the group had been busy for a while, and Heidi came over with Amanda, the leader of the mountain people.

"Master, this is Amanda, the leader of the Targrams, who has come to pay allegiance to you."

Lawrence looked at the witch he had seen before, and the gang had met with Lawrence when they were hunting boars.

At that time, Amanda did not have a comprehensive understanding of Lawrence alone, and the arrival of Losanda and Heidi made her quickly make a wise choice.

Whether it is the spread of the influence of the forest tribes, the integration of more tribes in the southern forests, or the rapid subjugation of the two tribes by Heidi and others with an army, it is a normal behavior that conforms to the laws of survival.

To the Poks and Targlas, Lawrence was not an aggressor.

Most tribes believe that the strong are respected, and whoever has the biggest fist is the king of the grasslands and forests.

The fists of the country of stars are harder than the mouth, and there is an absolute advantage in the number system, unless it is a tribe that wants to be eliminated, otherwise the only choice is to obediently obey.

Amanda knelt on the wet earth and respectfully said, "Great Ravenfeather Prophet, the Targram tribe wishes to join your tribe and survive within your realm, and in return we will offer our loyalty and obedience. ”

Lawrence nodded and said, "Very well, so be it, I need some fighters who are familiar with the environment here to work for me." ”

Amanda was willing to make sure of the good things in this way, "Yes, Great Prophet. ”

Lawrence looked at the iron pot in the distance, "We'll set off after eating, and you, as the leader of the warriors, are entitled to share our breakfast." ”

"Yes! Great Prophet. Amanda has no reason to refuse.

Breakfast was quickly prepared and today it was rice.

Bread has always been used as a staple food because it is easy to make, carry and store, and rice is a species introduced from the southern region, which is only grown in a small number of areas because the climate is not suitable.

Moreover, rice needs to be eaten as a side dish, and it is not suitable for eating with potatoes, so in the early days of solving the food problem, potatoes and wheat were the main dishes, and rice was only used as a cooking decoration for brewing rice wine and Lawrence's cooking.

In the past two years, due to the re-establishment of commercial trade in the south, the inflow of rice has also increased, and a series of ways to eat it have gradually been developed.

Both the Abbey and the Oak City are trying not to make the meals too monotonous, and the military system is even more so, minimizing repetitive food and keeping it fresh.

Meat is a must, especially in a hard-working military system, where meat is a must-have.

Most of the people in the army were farmers and slaves, and Lawrence specially assigned some people to raise cattle, sheep and pigs, and these cattle and sheep provided a lot of combat effectiveness for the army, and also prevented the barbarians in the army from going out to prey.

In addition to the pasta system and beef, mutton and pork, more combinations are needed to solve the problem that a single food cannot be supplemented, and rice that is easy to carry and store is easily mixed into the table and becomes one of the staple foods of the week.

Due to the level of economy and the level of chefs in different regions, the meals prepared are also inconsistent.

The chefs who cook for Lawrence naturally treat cooking as a career, not a job.

Today's rice is cooked in mutton fat mutton broth with mutton vegetables and spices.

When the chef placed the gravy, but well-grained, loose rice on a plate, Amanda and the Pok began to swallow just by looking at it.

At the end of the greasy breakfast, everyone tasted a coffee-like drink made from ground oak seeds and added with plant roots and spices.

The chef who discovered it was called Pru, so Lawrence didn't bother to come up with a name, so he named it Pru.

The main purpose is to get rid of the greasy nausea in the stomach, will not be nauseated because of eating too much meat, and at the same time has the function of preventing diarrhea, and can often save life in a foreign land and water environment.

Lawrence popularized this drink in the army, usually he didn't like it very much, he had more options, but he would also accompany the rest of the people to develop this habit when he traveled.

Compared with the army of this era, Lawrence paid more attention to discipline and logistics, and delegated power to the people below him to do the real war and tactical matters.

In the early days, it was Durand and Frys, then Andrew and the Vakiri replaced the knights under Earl Steer, and then there were various staff members and military chiefs.

Lawrence rarely went to the battlefield in person, and basically did not make specific plans, and it was always the generals who fought the war to discuss and choose a method that seemed to be okay.

The superior food culture and institutional culture, as well as the strong military capabilities, make the army of the Kingdom of Stars invincible when conquering various regions. (End of chapter)
