Chapter 97: The Simple Way

Snow Mountain Fort

Dana gathers with Darhil, Stella, and other witches.

Lawrence sat next to the crowd, and this time it was not a serious meeting, just an ordinary conversation.

"If I send troops to attack the Green Forest Kingdom, how long will it take to reach the Elven Court?"

The content of the conversation was unusual.

Dana had long anticipated this possibility, and was not surprised by such a development.

"That forest is wider and denser than you think, you can send people in, it's possible, but send an army in, and it will soon become the nourishment of the forest."

Lawrence nodded, "That forest is indeed a big nuisance. ”

Stella sat on the side and looked at the teacup, holding the teacup in both hands and waiting quietly for the time when it was time to drink.

Stella was more involved in the elven affair than Dana, and after knowing that there was a real fight, and that most of the hunting party had been killed and wounded, and that Lawrence's men had also died a lot, Stella didn't know how to deal with it.

Lawrence didn't hold the rest of the people accountable for this, this time the matter was given by himself, and of course the responsibility was himself.

"I have a long period of experience in forest exploration, and I also have some understanding of the climate of mountain forests, where the green forest kingdom belongs to the plain and basin area, which is naturally more suitable for plant growth than mountain forest areas, and the terrain is more complex."

Sophia realized something and quickly became anxious.

"Master, do you want to personally lead the troops to conquer the Green Forest Kingdom?"

Sariel and the others quickly looked here, and they didn't have the heart to drink tea.

Lawrence is indeed the most suitable candidate, with him personally in charge, the armies of all countries will be better mobilized, and the soldiers of the country of stars will work harder.

The most important thing is that Lawrence himself is very good and has unparalleled wisdom, and everyone believes that the prophet can cause miracles and solve all problems!

Lawrence calmly dismissed this thought, "No, that's too dangerous, my duty is to protect this land, not to go to dangerous places to face all kinds of assassinations." ”

"If I had passed, the elven assassins would certainly not have been idle."

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved, "The master is right, we don't need to worry about the elves now, it's about to snow, there is not much time left this year, we should prepare for the New Year first." ”

Lawrence did have a lot to deal with, not only vacationing and building a logistics base here, but also busy building all kinds of military equipment and factories.

Especially in some weaving mills, the demand for fabric will increase in the next few years, and relying on manual labor alone can no longer meet everyone's needs.

All countries are developing animal husbandry, and this year's purchase of wool is much more than last year's, which solves the problem of some children's clothing.

For those in the icy lands, a thick, warm woolen jacket is a must-have item to survive the winter.

As important as the Waterfall Factory affair is, the matter with the elves also has to be resolved, and it's a morale issue.

"Then put a fire first, let Fryce and them set a fire outside the forest, and then go back for the New Year, and wait until next spring to settle the score!"

Neither Dana nor Stella said anything, and Sophia stood up happily, "That's it!" Let's discuss where the castle's library would be more appropriate, and I think it's better to have it in a higher place, but it might be more convenient to put it in a lower place. ”

The crowd soon began to discuss the issue of the library along with Sophia's question.

Dana and Stella didn't talk because they had already talked to Lawrence about the forest, and Lawrence should know very well that the forest couldn't be burned.

Since Lawrence didn't say anything, Dana and Stella didn't want to dwell on the issue.

Dahir didn't say much, and Lawrence asked her if she could dig a hole in the ground and go to the forest, and the answer was no.

At that time, it was running from the inside out, and if you sneaked in from the outside to the inside, it was easy to be crushed to death by the spells cast by the spirits above.

The closer you get to the royal court, the denser the treehouses become, and the more skilled they are.

After dinner, Lawrence sat alone at the window and watched the distant sunset.

Sophia and Saliel walked over together.

"Master, are you still thinking about the elves?" Sophia looked at Lawrence worriedly.

"Lawrence, we can't get into the forest, but if those elves dare to come over, we'll kill them all!" ”

Lawrence squeezed out a smile, "Thank you for your concern, I asked Fryce to set fire to the forest not because it would burn the forest, but because I knew they would believe me." ”

"If I ask for this, they can bring the rest of them back for the New Year to reunite with their families, and I believe that I have a useful intention in doing so, and it will play a role in next year's events."

Sophia understood Lawrence's thoughts, and praised: "Yes, if the master asks them to come back directly, those warriors who have died of their friends and family will definitely be uncomfortable." ”

Lawrence straightened his legs and leaned his back against the wall of the window, continuing to watch the sunset outside.

"Sophia is right, I helped them relieve the pressure, and the pressure was transferred to me, and I had to figure out a way to get into the forest, otherwise I wouldn't have a good year."

Lawrence is still plagued by his conscience sometimes, even if he knows that the battle between humans and elves is inevitable, but this time he still feels guilty after really fighting and killing several old people who have followed him for many years.

Sophia looked at Lawrence and took the initiative to propose: "Master, you look unhappy, do you want to have a party today?" ”

"No need." Lawrence saw Sophia comforting himself like this, and also decided to cheer up and not let the people around him worry.

Saliel looked at Lawrence seriously, "Lawrence, fighting a war is sure to kill people, if you overthink these cowardices, then you will pay a greater sacrifice, I have found out from a very early age that you have some kindness that you should not have, but you have been brave when you take revenge on the Kurs and fight against the Vakiri." ”

"To be honest, I don't quite understand what you think, how you can be cowardly and brave."

Lawrence looked at Sariel, it had been a long time since she had heard Sariel educate so seriously.

"You're right, Sariel, it's true that I'm thinking too much." Lawrence had already decided to cheer up, jumped down from the window, and smiled: "Being timid will only be ridiculed for being weak, and the rest of the people we can fight dare not hit us, isn't it just that we dare to fight and kill?" ”

Wizards are afraid of the warriors of the Land of Stars, because the warriors here are not afraid of death and dare to fight and kill.

Once the people here start to think about the gains and losses, and think about the meaning of war, then the strong barbarian army will soon be corrupted by this cowardly thinking into a big hole, a deadly hole!

"I don't need to think too much, all I have to do now is keep fighting! Like all men, conquer this land that does not obey me! ”

Sophia quickly approached Lawrence, put her arms around Lawrence's arms and placed them between her chest, trying to make Lawrence happy.

Lawrence was indeed happy, and took the initiative to hug Sophia and also put his arms around Sariel.

"Let's have a lively night and have a party!"

Sophia saw that Lawrence was really okay and was finally relieved.

"Don't worry, host, you will be happy tonight! In fact, we don't have to worry about the elves at all, the two churches that are stronger than the elves have been beaten away by us, and we are afraid of the other, and those elves who will only hide in the forest are not worth mentioning at all! ”

Lawrence put his hands on the shoulders of the two beauties, and a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his face.

"I suddenly remembered the matter of the Dawn Church, did the fire dragon of the Dawn Church also run with the church?"

"Fire dragon?" Sariel was also quick to remember about the fire dragon.

Sophia also remembers the fire dragon, which is a legendary dragon!

In this day and age, the dragon is a symbol of evil forces and synonymous with terrifying behemoths.

"I don't know." Sariel was very curious about this legendary creature, "Lawrence, you don't even know about this?" They didn't tell you? ”

Lawrence really didn't pay much attention to the matter of this fire dragon, and even forgot what he was busy with during that time.

It seems that the church has not been taken to heart from beginning to end, but it has been wary of the fire dragon for a while, and has also seriously thought about the rear defense line to defend against the fire dragon.

"It seems that there is no trace of the fire dragon." Lawrence became concerned about this matter, "Let's talk about the body matter for the New Year, I'll go to Catherine, and go back to deal with things in the next few days." ”

"Yes, master." Sophia quickly agreed, "Don't worry, master, the affairs of the family will be left to me and Sister Sariel, as well as Losanda and Deren and Kassandra!" ”

"Well, kiss one~ Saliel is here too!" Lawrence quickly became unscrupulous.

***

After regaining his strength, Lawrence realizes that the power of the church is stronger than that of the elves.

The church has been in retreat for almost a year, and the reception of church power from its own side has not been carried out.

The land where the church was entrenched was divided among the three kingdoms, and all kinds of talents in the land were not co-opted, not even female slaves.

Lawrence quickly recalled what he had in mind.

"At that time, I thought that those believers were very dangerous, and I just need to develop slowly here, and there is no need to accept those with bad intentions."

Now that I think about it, there was nothing wrong with my thoughts at the time, and some things need time to digest slowly.

On the way back, I was quickly hit by a blizzard, and most of the creatures of the Ice Lands took refuge in the snow caves and tree hollows from the bitter cold winds, but some of them worked hard in the hot workshops.

Lawrence and the Black Unicorn quickly broke out of the snow and returned to the Mountain Wind Manor.

"Woooooooo

No sooner had Lawrence approached the manor on a unicorn than the sound of a galeful wind could be heard in the distance.

It didn't take long to see a giant wolf with a pitch-black body and shiny fur jumping out from behind the hillside.

"Woo!" The wind happily welcomed Lawrence, a pair of tails wagging happily in the snow behind him.

Lawrence beckoned, and the giant horse-like wolf quickly jumped down on the snow, jumped on the snow with its heavy and fat body, left a puddle in the snow, and quickly jumped to Lawrence's side and squatted.

Lawrence rode on top of the black unicorn, and the wind around him could run parallel to the horse's back as he crouched.

Galley is not small, and it is not an ordinary domestic dog.

Its parents are both authentic snow dogs, and Doug is actually a snow wolf, and the atavistic wind is larger.

Lawrence only took care of Doug when he was a child, and most of his memories of Doug are from his childhood.

Most of the care of the wind was when he was a child, and later when the wind grew up, he was taken care of by his subordinates.

"Hurricane, you've grown up and become more powerful."

Hurricane didn't quite understand Lawrence's words, but felt that it should be good words, and happily wagged his tail to please Lawrence.

Lawrence didn't delay in the snow, and soon returned to the manor house with the black unicorn and the wind.

The servants of the manor saw the wind and Lawrence riding the black unicorn from afar, and quickly gathered to clear a path, even though it was still snowing.

In the evening, Lawrence and Catherine sat by the fireplace and talked about what was going on.

"I'm going to see Kelda's family first, hold a funeral for Kelda, and then go to Flying Fish Harbor and tell Fryce about their return."

Catherine nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange this kind of thing, I can always be a unicorn, it's more convenient for me." ”

Lawrence put his arm around Catherine and stroked Catherine's abdomen, "I'm not polite when I need to, but I'm more concerned about this than that, isn't it time this year?" ”

Catherine was also unclear about this matter, "It should be the past few years, but I can't be specific, if you don't like children, I don't think it's necessary to do that, it's not a good thing for us to have offspring." ”

"Forget it, I care more about you." Lawrence is not obsessed with children, and now it is okay to have two children.

Catherine didn't want to conceive offspring, that would have a long period of weakness, and Lawrence was very clear that he didn't care if the child was a wizard or an ordinary person.

In that case, it is even less necessary.

Catherine quickly added, "No matter what we say now, when the body is really mature, it is always necessary to give birth to life, and this may be our mission." ”

Lawrence also admits that this kind of thing, when the time comes for the body, will affect the mood and affect the thinking.

However, the more powerful the witch and witch, the easier it is to restrain this instinct.

Even ordinary humans have many ways to delay and suppress this desire.

"Don't think too much, it doesn't matter if you don't give birth, it's a natural thing to give birth, compared to those elves, we who are willing to have children are actually closer to nature, those who refuse to have children, and the elves with low reproductive ability are the most unnatural deformed products."

Catherine was amused by this statement, "That's right, when you get the elf queen back, you must let her give you a few more children!" ”

Lawrence smiled and did not refute such an offer.

The night of the blizzard quickly passed, and Lawrence descended the mountain after dawn to solve the problem and gave Kelda a solemn funeral.

At the funeral, Lawrence worked hard!

"Next year, half of the lumberjacks in the Frozen Lands will be transferred to Flying Fish Harbor!"

Over the past ten years, the accumulated experience of building in the wilderness has allowed thousands of lumberjacks to be trained in the land of ice.

The traces of the wyvern are difficult to find and unreliable, and the down-to-earth Lawrence chooses the most modest way of revenge.

Regardless, Lawrence is indeed experienced in some ways, and has been busy with similar reclamation work almost every year.

Next year's events will be like countless times when the forest wasteland is reclaimed, digging little by little, digging to the death!! (End of chapter)
