533 Return

These valuable trophies can obviously play an important role in the construction of Sauer Island. Just like the famous saying that Lawrence heard in his previous life, war is indeed a matter of one cannon firing and ten thousand taels of gold. When fighting, logistics consumes every day.

Weapons and ammunition require a huge amount of money, and if you win, you can also get a huge amount of wealth.

Especially as a big country, the White Eagle Federation is very generous when it comes to money. Not only is it willing to reimburse Lawrence and other reinforcements for the weapons, ammunition and various supplies that were consumed in the battle, but they even took the ship to this island.

All expenses incurred are willing to be reimbursed together.

After all, for a country as powerful as the White Eagle Federation, ordinary money is of little use as long as it does not reach a huge amount. If the federation can use a little money to gain the favor of its allies, it can also be passed on to everyone.

The concept that leaving the Federation will not treat those who have helped you badly is definitely a worthwhile thing.

Of course, another reason why the White Eagle Federation was so generous in this regard this time is because they received a lot of benefits after winning the war.

On the one hand, they consolidated their position through victory and gained more say in the Star Sea. On the other hand, after completely wiping out that part of the sahuagin, the surrounding sea became much safer than before.

, the value of an island like Vieques with trade as its core has naturally increased significantly.

After all the settlements were completed, Lawrence and the others decided to take the Enterprise and two other warships back to Sauer Island. At least for him, the war was completely over. As for the final division of the spoils on Pine Island

It will definitely take a long time to make the final decision.

Therefore, he felt that it was better to return to his own territory and wait slowly. Anyway, there were people here to deal with the detailed issues, and he did not need to stay here all the time. In other words, if he stayed here, he would often be regarded as

It was a distrust of his subordinates. In order to avoid this misunderstanding, Lawrence felt that it would be better for him to leave here.

Of course, this return voyage is destined to take more time, because Lawrence and the others still have to take a group of Loka fish people who are willing to defect to them. Fortunately, it is winter and the sea is very calm, so they can sail on several boats

Several long strings of wooden rafts and small boats were dragged behind for temporary rides on the weak, elderly, women and children.

To be precise, there are not many old Loka fishmen. After they were kidnapped by the Sahuagin before, those old and too young Loka fishmen basically did not survive. And in the subsequent battle with

During the purge of the sahuagin, a large number of male loka died on the battlefield or were slaughtered by the sahuagin.

On the other hand, the previous group of pro-Sahuagin Loka suffered heavy losses after experiencing a series of previous events. The survivors were not even 1/3 of the original number. And almost all of them had never participated.

The fighting women and children, according to the customs of the Loka people, do not have any right to participate in politics, and naturally have nothing to do with their defection to the sahuagin.

Therefore, considering that the Loka fish people suffered heavy losses through the massacre, and at the same time, these women and children were indeed not involved in any hostilities. Therefore, after discussion, the human side decided to forgive these non-combatants and let them and the green-faced

This group of Roca murlocs became the subjects of Lawrence.

According to statistics, there are only more than 28,000 Loka fish people left alive, which is equivalent to 40% of their previous population. Moreover, the ratio of men to women has dropped to a terrifying 1:8. This is why they are willing to seek refuge.

Lawrence became an important reason for his people. Obviously, this gender structure can hardly guarantee their survival in the dangerous ocean.

For them, one of the only two pieces of news to be thankful for is that Lawrence rescued half of their eggs earlier to ensure the future of their entire population.

On the other hand, although the sahuagin brutally purged away those too young or too old lorka who were considered useless, the remaining ones were all young adults of childbearing age. Therefore,

Just give them a generation and they will be able to recover.

"It should be safer along the way." After setting off, Lawrence said to the green face and a dozen other elders who boarded the ship to communicate with them. "This is a sea route that has been running for hundreds of years, except for the two sections in the middle that go from

The triton people and the mermaids may need to negotiate when they pass through the edge of the sea area of ​​the mermaid kingdom. Generally speaking, it should be fine."

"Of course, there are naturally some ferocious fish or sea beasts in this sea area. But considering our number, I believe those beasts will not cause any harm." Saifei added at this time, "By the way, before

The weapons have been given to you, and they should be distributed by now."

"Yes, weapons have been distributed to everyone. So there shouldn't be much danger on the road." Green Face replied. Before, they used the Lord of the Morning, the God of Knowledge, the God of Suffering and their ancestors'

After swearing allegiance to Lawrence, they naturally switched from their original status as prisoners to prisoners and became Lawrence's subjects.

In this world with real gods, oaths recognized by the gods have extremely strong binding power. Especially this time, after Lawrence told the news to others, the priests of the three gods all took the initiative to offer Lawrence the chance to preside.

Allegiance ceremony, and during the ceremony, the statues of the gods all glowed to express their approval of the oath.

Under this circumstance, this group of previously captured Loka fishmen naturally became very reliable subjects under Earl Sauer. Naturally, in this way, Lawrence and the others could rest assured to re-arm these Loka fishmen.

There is no need to worry about any sudden rebellion or even backlash.

As for the weapons and armors that arm the Loka fish people, basically all of them came from the seizures in previous wars. For humans, these weapons, which were obviously designed by the fish people, obviously do not meet the needs of human beings. After entering the industrialization stage,

Naturally, humans also look down on that little bit of junk.

So after each of them selected some weapons inlaid with pearls, gems or gold as collections, the humans on the island very generously opened the door to the trophy warehouse for the Roca fish people who had belonged to Lawrence to choose from.

It doesn't cost him any money.

Therefore, Lawrence succeeded in arming the Roka fish people who are now his own people at a very low cost. Among the remaining Roka fish people who had enough strength to arm themselves, they all woven seaweed, bones and shells.

He armed himself with made-up armor, a metal trident and an underwater crossbow.

Although most of these armors and weapons are obviously damaged, and most of them are even stained with blood, this is enough for the Loka fish people. According to Green Face, they were killed by sahuagin before.

When he was driven to the battlefield, the equipment he wore was not even half as good as what he is wearing now.

In addition, three large sailing ships were also used on the island to transport the seven-day rations that had been promised to the Loka fish people before joining Lawrence's fleet, which solved a big problem.

The rest of the journey was just as Lawrence and the others had imagined. Apart from negotiating at the border between the two underwater countries and following the designated route under the surveillance of the other party's army, they encountered no problems along the way.

There were indeed some blind sea creatures that tried to attack the Loka fish people, but they were quickly attacked by the heavily armed Loka fish people and became their food.

In this way, after trekking on the sea for a week, Lawrence finally successfully returned to Sauer Island with his fleet and a large group of Loka fishmen.
