Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Southwest, Philly Province

Feli Province has become an area occupied by the Star Alliance, and it is divided by the three kingdoms based on their dominance.

Whoever invades and captures the city first will own the city. At the same time, with the prior coordination of the prophet, other areas will be conquered by those who come later.

Nowadays, Feili Province has been completely occupied by the three kingdoms, and the kings of the three kingdoms have jointly designated a port area as the alliance commercial area.

Near the Alliance business district, there is also a port garrison reserved for the army.

On a cliff a few hundred meters away from the port, a group of people were standing here overlooking the garrison.

These people were not members of the Dawn Church, nor were they businessmen passing by, but military personnel from the garrison.

Violence is still the main feature of the Land of Stars. Although the great prophet's reputation for kindness is renowned throughout the continent, many people died at the feet of the barbarians.

Unrelated personnel are prohibited from approaching the port troops and some military buildings. No matter if outsiders come in on their own or if someone inside brings a woman in without permission, they will die.

Querrey took the craftsmen and soldiers from several countries on the cliff and looked at the garrison port and the sea in the distance.

The location here is not suitable for building a commercial city, but it is suitable for garrisoning and defense.

Especially the seaside cliffs extending from the mountains can effectively observe and protect the seaside areas.

The general of the Kojako Kingdom asked the sturdy dwarf beside him: "Master Quilei, will this make the dragon afraid to come over?"

The bearded Querrey said with a nonchalant expression, "Don't worry, if that big lizard dares to come over, we will shoot its wings into a sieve!"

After hearing Querrey's arrogant words, Leis, who was born in a noble family, nodded with peace of mind, showing a satisfied and relieved look.

The less the master of the Kingdom of Stars paid attention to the dragon, the more Reis felt relieved.

A sentry tower specially used for archery has been built on the mountain behind everyone, as well as artillery specially used to deal with sea ships and dragons.

The range of the artillery has been increased to two kilometers, which is enough to smash those wooden sailing ships before the ships arrive.

Even the fire dragon in the sky, under the shocking deterrent of the barbarian throwers and artillery, did not dare to get too close here.

Hundreds of lunatics who want to slay dragons have gathered in the port area, and there are also a large number of warriors in the army who want to become dragon-slaying warriors.

Ever since the fire dragon appeared, Querrey had been assigned to assist in defense.

Because the fire dragon appeared several times after the last naval battle, each time causing devastating damage to the villages and towns on the seaside, Quirei and the Star Country garrison became very popular.

The armies of the three kingdoms are far less powerful than the soldiers of the Kingdom of Stars. When encountering trouble, they naturally hope to have a reliable big brother by their side.

In fact, it was precisely because of the existence of the Ice Troops that the Fire Dragon and the church's talents stopped harassing them.

The fire dragon dared to fly above these people's heads, and these people dared to jump up, grab the fire dragon's feet and climb up!

***

In the land of ice, Lawrence received reports from the front line.

After a few seconds of silence, he decided to let the people below take action.

What the Church of the Morning is best at is not to fight against the elite and the Covenant Alliance, but to encourage and control those at the bottom to resist and destroy the rule of the heretics.

This kind of thing often happens in both the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of Io. Although this group of people dare not confront them head-on, they are very willing to make small moves and often do things that disrupt production and construction.

Lawrence thought about what happened on Saadi Island. This area and the province of Feili have been under the rule of the church for a long time. There are many believer families in it. It will take a long, long time to change the minds of these people.

"Forget it, I don't have time to care about this. After reducing their taxes and labor, if they are still willing to die for the Church of Dawn, then just die."

Lawrence shook his head and allowed his men to use traditional methods to solve the problem.

Silently thinking about the next thing in his chair, Lawrence felt that he must seize the time to improve some protection.

"The Church of Dawn has been forced by me now. This group of people can do anything. It would be a bit naive to think that as long as they stay in the land of ice, they will not be affected by the war on the front line."

"Now it seems that the Church of Dawn lacks the high-end power that can change the situation of the war."

"Perhaps the fire dragon was once such a high-end power, but after the ice troops gathered, this flying aerial behemoth is no longer invincible. There are too many artillery and elite warriors on this battlefield that can kill it. ”

The current high-end power is actually not too outrageous. There is no super mage who can change the entire battle situation by himself.

No matter how strong a warrior priest is, if he faces dozens of barbarian warriors on the battlefield, he will most likely be surrounded to death.

Lawrence thought about the high-end power on his side, and it was basically the same.

Including myself and Dana, no one is invincible.

The people like Fleiss, who were once strong, are still a group of people who can fight well today, and they have not retreated from the environment with the version.

Some people just thought they were powerful because they had little experience before, such as the one-armed warrior Manderkru and the shield maiden Reglo who were the first to follow.

In fact, from the early attitudes of others towards these people, it can be seen that these two people are not strong at all.

Mandekru is Doug's follower, maybe not even a follower, just one of the many minions under his command.

Regloro assassinated the earl's heir in a sneak attack, and then hid in the mountains and was captured by the Ug people and used as a slave for a few years. After hearing that Salil was the daughter of a berserker, he obeyed, and the battle with Kharan was also the same. He was beaten to the ground at the next moment, and he was still very humble when he met his old master Olaua, whom he hadn't seen for several years.

Although Dana now has high-end combat capabilities and has also gained strength herself, Fleiss and others are still the main force in the battle.

The existence of Dana and others cannot affect these barbarian warriors.

Lawrence found that the Kingdom of Stars now faced similar problems to those of the Western Kingdom before. How to prevent the intrusion of bandits who did not know when they would arrive?

It doesn't take too many people, only a dozen knights can cause damage to ordinary people's villages that are not defended by warriors. Even like before, a dozen people chased two to three hundred people.

Fortunately, he is a barbarian who has done this kind of thing after all. He is very experienced in this kind of thing and knows how to deal with the means he used to get started.

In fact, the Church of Dawn did not make any big moves, mainly because Lawrence suppressed them in many places in advance.

For example, after learning that there was a group of notorious Ferreg pirates in the islands of the Storm Sea, the troops of the Wave Province were trained a long time ago and gradually suppressed and expelled this group of pirates.

In the past, the Fegre pirates relied on fast boats to evade capture, and relied on sophisticated organization and cruel revenge to fight against national power.

Lawrence was not afraid of retaliation and simply had people catch and kill them, batch after batch.

Also because of regular cleaning, when the Church of Dawn wants to unite with the remaining Ferrege pirates to deal with the coalition forces, they can no longer find those people.

The church lacked the naval power to confront the coalition forces and lacked the support of the nobility. The royal nobles, who had been suppressed by the church for a long time, took this opportunity to break free from the control of the church.

In response to harassing warfare, Lawrence sent troops to escort the enemy before they could invest more force in destroying his coastal routes.

Now that the trade routes are generally safe, the main thing to do is to protect the towns and land in coastal areas.

Build a castle estate!

Lawrence quickly divided the coastal areas of several of his areas into multiple areas, and assigned some meritorious people to agricultural areas with fertile soil to be farmers, while the outer areas were used as their own plantations to produce various commercial crops.

Merchant ships and troops can dock here to provide protection, while miners and farmers can also be recruited to solve the growing refugee problem.

As long as the population is concentrated in a few areas, these areas will naturally not be afraid of harassment by more than a dozen people.

The more plantations and mining towns along the coast, the more prosperous this commercial waterway would be, able to support a larger population.

And according to the pursuit of land in this era, enfeoffing people to areas with large arable land in the interior is definitely a very benevolent reward.

The lack of cultivated land and population on the seaside was not a good place in this era. The words used to describe poor places in the countryside in many stories are just like a remote fishing village.

Lawrence still remembered the promise he made to Sariel to build a big castle with sunshine, beaches, gardens, and swimming pools.

The castle was the initial commercial town, providing protection for passing merchants and travelers. At the same time, it could quickly provide defense when encountering harassment from the outside world. By the way, it could also reserve a large amount of supplies to deal with disaster years.

That blue country

A group of saints gathered in the holy church and responded to this decision in silence.

Seeing that the others were silent, the Pope stated calmly and majestically: "This is the safest plan. We don't have many believers anymore. The Holy Light Church does not have the strength to come and form a coalition with us. If we continue, our believers will only be destroyed." Kill those savages."

"In the past year, those barbarians have looted our holy land and killed our saints. Even if we sent the holy dragon to burn their warships, they formed a fleet again after more than ten days and gathered more barbarian."

The other bishops all know the cruelty and power of the Kingdom of Stars.

Those people are as fierce and fearless as demons, cruel and cunning, and their numbers are getting larger and larger.

"Where are we going?" A saint in red looked at the Pope respectfully.

The Pope is not young, and there are not many young people here. Most of the people are gray-haired elders.

The pope's hair and beard have turned gray, he is wearing a white and red holy garment, and a majestic and holy white gemstone crown on his head.

"Go to the continent south of the Blue Kingdom. I will lead you through the sea and storms to the other side of the world."

The pope slowly stood up, his body emitting such pressure that the saints around him could feel it.

Although this old man wants to take everyone away from here to avoid the pursuit of barbarians, no one dares to underestimate this old man.

The Pope will not accept anyone's opinion, here he is the Supreme God.

God doesn't care whether the barbarians win or lose.

From the beginning to the end, neither the upper echelons of the Church of Dawn nor the Church of Holy Light had ever taken those barbarians seriously.

Even now, even if it is necessary to leave the base camp where they have survived for many years due to the invasion of barbarians, only the lower-level believers are panicking and desperate.

For the Pope, this was just a necessary experience of walking a little.

"I will lead you to the new Holy Land, just as I led your fathers here."

The Pope looks at the sun outside, which is a command to those behind him, as well as a statement and memory of himself.

The saints in the hall lowered their humble heads.

This powerful and wise pope was the founder of the Church of Dawn and the bishop who took away the Holy Body and Arms from the Church of Holy Light.

Many years ago, a wizard mastered the mysterious power of resurrecting the dead and successfully resurrected a dead person.

Later, the resuscitator said that he saw the God of Light in another world and was a servant of the God of Light, and established the Holy Light Church.

But the resuscitator only lived for twenty years before he died. After his death, people established vague communication with the mysterious gods through his body and mastered some divine arts.

This incident happened at least one or two hundred years ago. It is not clear when exactly it happened, and no one can determine the age of the pope.

After the Pope made his decision, only a few people still knew about it.

The people of the Star Alliance are severely lacking in intelligence information, and they know almost nothing about the affairs of the Blue Country, and they don't even know much about the closer Saadi Island.

However, it was this group of barbarians that successfully drove away the wise and powerful saints.

The barbarians gathered like a disaster on the coastline of Feli Province, and more and more pure-blooded barbarians gathered.

The Pope and the church thought this was a natural disaster like snow and floods, so they decided to leave here temporarily and wait a few years before coming back to preach.

The Church of Dawn has never governed or run a country. They have always occupied developed countries and fertile soil.

If you find that no one under you is fighting for you, or you find that you can't defeat the opponent, you will naturally retreat.

Powerful by faith, Lawrence knew this truth, but he did not know the nature of the Church of the Dawn and the Church of the Holy Light.

In the teachings of Morningside Church and Holy Light Church, there is no such word as resistance!

No resistance to the gods, no resistance to any sufferings experienced, in short no resistance is allowed.

The Pope and the higher-ups of the church don't think it's a shame, nor do they think it's such a hopeless thing.

This is just a small wave in a long life. Maybe when we come back in a few years, the barbarians here will have been destroyed and disappeared.

Unbeknownst to either Lawrence or the Star Alliance's senior officials, a journey southward recorded in the Holy Scriptures of the Church of the Dawn quietly began.

The Pope of the Church of the Dawn took the Twelve Saints and tens of thousands of believers on board the ship, and also brought a large number of books and treasures.

All that was left were the abandoned wreckage and bones after a night of partying, as well as a group of desperate, depraved, and crazy people.

After a long time, the barbarian troops landed and killed everyone. (End of chapter)
