Chapter 231 When You Flattened the Whole Northern Land for Me

"To your honorable Lord Laurent."

Although Lauren could speak real Arabic, he was illiterate, and the people of Leyton had no written language, so these letters needed to be read to him.

The southern servant of the clan, Mien, was a lord's reader before he was exiled to the kingdom.

Meen stood aside, and Lauren listened to every word.

As one of the grand dukes of the Camillean royal family, Duke Anderf conveyed the king's willingness to cooperate with the Leidon people, and asked for the edict of the territory from the king, and formally notified Lauren to grant the Earl of Maiern to Leidon. Ruled by the Dunians, independent as an ally of Camilian.

"Great conditions." Lauren said to himself.

However, Lauren quickly thought of the reason why King Camilian offered such generous conditions.

At present, the Kingdom of Camilian and the Kingdom of Verdusan and its affiliated kingdoms have been caught in a long-term war and have fallen into a stalemate.

The king desperately needed the assistance of a valiant savage to break the deadlock and turn the tide in Camille's favor.

And Lauren thought of another point.

The Ledonites came to the south not long ago, and their rule was far from stable.

Right now, the Earl of Marne is granted to them. When the fighting subsides in the coming day, the Kingdom of Camilian will have enough time to encroach and occupy the Earl.

"Minn, please write back to Duke Andev, first express your thanks, and then say... In the next battle, we Leidon people are qualified to expand our territory to the size of a principality." Lauren said after thinking for a while.

Mi En nodded, and after talking with the third prince for a while, he prepared to leave.

"By the way, Mien, the descendant of that saint, where is Luke? Didn't he visit the Earl of Mairn before? Why didn't I hear about him?"

Lauren remembered something and asked.

His questions about the Lord have not yet been answered.

"My lord." Mi En hesitated, and then said: "Actually, someone has looked for Blessed Luke."

"Oh?" Lauren was a little excited.

"I heard that when we occupied this place, some true believers persuaded Luke to come and preach to you and convert you. The true believers don't want a heretic to rule them."

"What, what?" Lauren was a little surprised. After a while, he asked in confusion, "Then why didn't Luke come over?"

Mi En sighed, and said slowly: "Luke said: He has a premonition that he will meet you, but it's not yet time. The Lord's arrangements are often incredible."

Lauren was taken aback.

Then, Lauren's face darkened, and he asked to himself, "It's not the time yet? How does he know it's not the time yet? Has the Lord revealed it to him?!"

Facing the lord who looked like this, Mien panicked and almost dropped the things in his hands.

Fortunately, Lauren quickly returned to normal, and said with a sneer, "Why did he say it's not yet time? How did he know?"

Mi En thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously: "I heard that the reason why Luke is called the 'Blessed One' is because he has a pair of eyes that can see fate.
It was said that he knew some ancient and sacred mantra, and when he recited it, his eyes would glow with a golden light, so that he could see the fate of others. "

"Sounds like a shaman."

Lauren said indifferently:
"Our shamans can also pray for some kind of mysterious power through a lot of inexplicable spells. They can instantly dye white cloth into black cloth, ask for prophecy oracles, and sacrifice to gods."

"But that thing just sounds magical, and its effect is far less than that in the myth."

"Those so-called priests and monks who believe in the Lord do not seem to be more powerful than our shamans."

The priest shaman of the Leidun people is the most knowledgeable and deepest memory group among the Leidun people.

Above the Sea of ​​Thousand Pillars of Clouds, God heard that name.

Blessed Luke.

God remembered who it was.

"He is a blessed man."

His name is recorded in the scriptures.

Luke the Blessed, who was the Cardinal-in-Residence of Rita-Salen.

Luke traveled to the north, and after many years of passing away, his remains returned to the land of Pope Island.

The blessings and names of saints that are hard to see in the scriptures,

Blessed Luke, his title, his taboo, was at the forefront of scholasticism.

The rule of the Leidon people in Myrne became more and more difficult as the days progressed.

In fact, contradictions have always existed, but they were hidden at the beginning of the arrival of the Leydon people.

And three months after the Earldom was taken over by the Griffin Clan,

The conflict between the true believers and this group of barbarians from the northern land inevitably broke out.

Lauren listened to the report of the book servant Mien with a solemn expression.

The belly of the third prince's wife was growing day by day, and it would not be too long before she gave birth. However, in the earldom, the brave and fierce Leidon people became restless in the peaceful days.

The origin of this conflict lies in animal sacrifices.

A Garda warrior grandiosely robbed the merchant's cattle and sheep in the town, and cut them open in front of everyone.

Then he ordered his servants to set up a statue of the God of War in the street, light a flame in the best-lit position of the square, and sacrifice the plundered cattle and sheep on the spot, begging for the next victory.

"That warrior uttered wild words when he was questioned by the merchant."

"What did he say?" Lauren asked.

Mi En hesitated, but said: "He said: 'You are nothing but public servants, but the public property of our Griffin clan.'"

Lauren was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

It has always been a traditional habit of the Leidon people to plunder the defeated as slaves for sale or occupation.

Over the past three months, Lauren has further deepened his understanding of the south in various ways. He realized that the traditions of many Leydon people in the past in the north are in the south where churches, knights, titles, and the Lord and the True Aven are prevalent. , it doesn't work.

Many Leidun people are looking forward to building this into a clan kingdom that is almost the same as the Leidun Kingdom, using this as a new hometown and a new stronghold for them to continue to go to sea and dominate the world.

After plundering enough gold and silver treasures and accumulating strength, the Leidun people returned to the Northland to avenge the dragon slayer and regain the crown belonging to the Griffin clan.

Lauren didn't lose his desire for revenge, but at the same time, these days, Lauren realized that building the earldom into another clan kingdom.
The determination to rule cannot last long.

This is not the land where northern natives grow.

The southerners who believed in the Lord did not rely on plunder for a living, let alone accept being slaves of pagans for a long time.

Once another clan kingdom is established, more conflicts will be born, and more conflicts will break out and intensify
There will be fewer and fewer warlike Ledonites, and more and more believing Southerners.

Lauren vaguely realized that his greatest help had faintly become the biggest stumbling block on his way to rule.

what should i do
Abandon the traditions that the Leyton people have always had?
Lauren's hands trembled. He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to abandon the traditions that the Leiden people depended on.

He walked on thin ice for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Punish that Garda warrior severely, and then withdraw the money from the treasury, and let the town manager appease those true believers."

Lauren can only talk about the facts first, trying to cover up and avoid this thorny issue.

Mi En nodded slightly. He didn't understand the embarrassment of the current leader of the Griffin clan, the third prince Laurent.

"By the way, my lord, there is one more thing I must tell you." Mien thought of something and said.

"what happened?"

"Duke Anderf, I sent a letter this morning, and I haven't opened it yet."

As he spoke, Mi En took out a letter covered in red paint from his pocket and opened it on the spot.

Lauren listened quietly.

"To the noble leader of the Ledonites, my lord Loren."

While Mi En spoke at a leisurely pace, Lauren heard Duke Andev's request clearly.

Duke Anderf asked them to rush to the aid of King Camilian's army within two months. The king was about to organize an attack on the city of Matton River in the southwest, where iron ore was rich and three equipment foundries had been built.

Once captured there, the Verdusan Kingdom will have to face a shortage of iron ore for some time to come.

The letter requested that the Leyton people meet at the Maton Meadow on the banks of the Maton River. If the city of Maton River is captured, the Leyton people can regard this city as their legal territory. The only condition is that the iron produced in the next five years Mine, pay [-]% to King Camilian.

"A reasonable request, even tempting." Lauren said.

However, Lauren also knew that things were not as simple as imagined.

He got up and took out the map from the bookcase, and asked the literate Meen to point out the location of Marton River City.

Matton River City is located at the junction of the two kingdoms.

"If we capture the city of Matton River, we will definitely face the attack of the Verdusan Kingdom. That will not be good for us."

Lauren paused, and continued to analyze:
"Unless we retain a lot of vitality, even if we occupy it, we will not be able to keep it."

But how can the Leidon people retain a lot of vitality in the tragic siege battle?

Lauren couldn't help thinking about this.

While thinking, Lauren paced back and forth, inspecting the appearance of the lord's room.

Then, a long and narrow knight's long sword attracted Lauren's attention.

The knights that Earl Marne had conferred before may not be able to confer them again.

Lauren slapped his thigh fiercely. Yes, although those knights in the south were loyal to the lord, but now Earl Mirne abandoned the territory and fled, and he took over here.

Earl Marne can abandon the territory and flee, but the knights he enjoys fiefs here are not necessarily.

Many of those knights are still being held in prison because they cannot pay the ransom.

And those who had paid the ransom returned to their fiefs, and lived in fear of the Leidon people coming to seize his land.

"Mien, help me write an order, and then convey my oral order, anyone who is willing to be loyal to me can regain freedom and still enjoy the fief."

"Not only that, those men who can bring their own armor and weapons, as long as they are willing to serve me, can get a fief."

Roren said excitedly that in this way, he could form an army loyal to him in the territory without spending much.

Naturally, the book servant Mien would not disobey Lauren's order, but he hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, Mien?" Lauren asked.

Mi En hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "My lord, you seem to have become more like... the lord of the people from the south."

"We always have to adapt to life in this land."

The news of participating in the war quickly spread to everyone in the Griffin clan. During the two months of leisure, the brave and ruthless Leydon's hands were full of cocoons, and they bought wine from various taverns one after another. Drink the news.

On the outskirts, Lauren saw them setting up a fire to sacrifice sacrifices to the god of war Kars.

Master Ma Safei grabbed two ox horn cups and walked up to Lauren. He said, "You seem to have learned how to command our group."

Over the past few months, Lauren tried to take over the important task of commanding the battlefield from Master Masafei, and organized the people of Leyton to conduct several martial arts drills.

And Master Ma Safei saw that Lauren was indeed as intelligent as his father said, and in a very short period of time, he learned how to command an army of Redonians and knew all the swear words for giving orders.

As for tactics?

The tactics of the Leidon people are very simple. Formation, disperse, and then charge, and finally cut the enemy to pieces.

The clan's shamans danced wildly around the sacrifice fire.

The rough voices of the Ledon people twisted together, they sang "The Icebreaker Ship" loudly, blowing horns and beating leather drums.

In the midst of hearty laughter, two Redonites got drunk with each other, and wrestled over ridiculous things on the grass.

The other Leidon people were not idle either, someone immediately organized a gambling game, and the gold and silver coins collided together, resounding loudly in the land far away from the town.

"Master Masafei, we always like to fight fiercely. Not long ago, I punished a Garda warrior for this." Lauren looked at the scene and remembered something, and said.

"Haha, I know, it's just a small thing,"

Master Masafei blushed with drunkenness,

"It's true that he shouldn't treat our public property like this, but you have taught him badly enough."

Hearing Master Masafei's words, Lauren's eyes froze.

What Lauren wanted to hear was not such words.

Master Masafei didn't realize that he had said something wrong, and he was immersed in the wine and the traditional celebration of the Radon people.

What are the traditional celebrations of the Ledonites?

It's the wind in the mountains, the wind and snow in the snow field
It is the sea, the horns, and the temple of the gods.

On the ground, wrestling fell into a stalemate, with cheers and taunts coming and going.

"Wait, Lauren, I swear on your late father's name,"

Master Ma Safei propped up his old and strong body,

The old Ledon man greeted the fire of the sacrifice, and the mountain wind came slowly,

"I will trample down the entire northern land for you until you regain your crown! Hang your king's shield on the Temple of War God!"

"I also swear to the Lord and the gods that this will definitely come true in our hands, when I level the entire northern land for you!"

Lauren stood silently.

Master Ma Safei could not see that the third prince was struggling.

Apart from Lauren himself, maybe only God can see.

Master Masafei can only hear,

Lauren whispered softly:
"When you leveled the entire northern land for me"
