"Are you having trouble over there?"
"Well, there are three drow cities near Misnoel. They played skirmishing guerrilla tactics with me in Mir Forest. Ordinary soldiers were more or less powerless against them, so we had to play elite soldier tactics with them. Hit them hard and make them retreat."
"I see." Lord Virginia pondered for a moment and said, "I can ask General Stelina to bring three hundred eladrin soldiers to support you. Is it enough?"
"That's enough. It's not like I don't have any available troops over there. Recently, I gathered another group of Goliaths and those natural races controlled by the roots of gods. They were all purified by me, and I only used them in the dense forest. They are not very mobile, so I need a mobile force that is good at maneuvering in dense forests to hold them back."
Gavin explained his situation in detail to prevent the other party from feeling bad.
Because he knew that the Lord of Virginia spared no effort in assisting him.
The Eldest Spirits in the entire Chunya Forest are only over 2,000 years old. Although due to their longevity, the proportion of them who are soldiers far exceeds that of normal races. Everyone has a professional level and at least five life dice, and more than half can Fighting in armor, when necessary, everyone except children can become a warrior.
But as a professional warrior, it is only about 500.
The Lord of Virginia directly assigned three-fifths to himself.
"For defense, it would be better to use the traps of your kobold trap makers, especially the shock bomb mine array."
Lord Virginia is naturally an expert in fighting in dense forests. Recently, she has tasted the benefits of eladrin soldiers and kobold trap makers working together.
The elf steps of the eladrin soldiers allow them to easily avoid most of the kobold's traps, and the enemies following them often sneak in undefended.
Even if they are not killed by the kobold's trap, their lives will be harvested by the eladrin soldiers who turn around.
Therefore, it seems that they have abandoned most of the Spring Bud Forest, but the advancement of the useless giants here is quite limited. Instead, they have buried a large number of dark servants. Now their troops are a bit stretched, which was unimaginable in the past.
Because the situation in Black Mirror, the Kingdom of the Desolate Giants, is a bit special. Those dark servants are all the souls of good spirits who were swallowed by the demon realm and were resurrected through the evil power of the demon realm.
They can be killed, but cannot be completely eliminated.
Because their souls will return to the demon realm and be resurrected there.
If things go on like this, one will decrease and the other will increase.
The Black Mirror Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and the area of corruption is getting larger and larger.
But the emergence of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree broke this situation. As long as the eladrin soldiers marked the dark servants and killed them, their souls would be directly dragged into the Dragon Oak Dreamland and killed for the second time by the fey. .
That's really killing.
Faced with this new situation, the Kingdom of the Wasted Giants decisively adjusted its strategic deployment, adopted a strategic defense against the Spring Bud Forest, and instead used a large number of troops against the Royal Court of Summer.
However, everyone knows that the Kingdom of the Desolate Giants has not completely given up on its plan to invade the Chunya Forest. On the contrary, everything they are doing now is to prepare for this strategic purpose.
Just look at their actions at the Royal Court of Summer and you will know that they did not spend time and effort corrupting the forests they captured as they did in the past, but instead hunted the fairies there without restraint and transformed them into new ones. servants of darkness.
They are accumulating an army of darkness servants, and then use sheer numbers to completely overwhelm the Spring Bud Forest and engulf the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
This is an out-and-out conspiracy.
If it were the Chunya Forest half a year ago, he would definitely not be able to break the situation with his own abilities.
But they are not alone now, Gavin has fully demonstrated his potential.
All that remains is to compete in terms of development speed.
Which one is faster, the Black Mirror Kingdom's expansion of its troops, or Gavin's development speed?
Therefore, in name, Spring Bud Forest and Dragon Oak Territory are still two families. In essence, they are no different from one family.
Especially in terms of external expansion, the Lord of Virginia spared no effort in helping Gavin.
Previously, we had to use the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to immediately activate all available power regardless of cause and effect.
Now we need to borrow troops and immediately mobilize most of our troops.
"A large number of mine arrays are more suitable for use on the defensive side of the stalemate. We haven't officially started fighting yet, and we haven't figured out the opponent's strength yet. Therefore, we are not very anxious about this matter, but I will send some kobolds over appropriately."
Since he was talking about kobolds, Gavin naturally followed the conversation and talked about the personnel deployment issue in the Dragon Oak Territory, "I will leave 20,000 kobolds here at the mother tree, and all the small wilderness kobolds will be left to you. Although they are not completely finalized, there is still no problem in mass-producing strong tremor bombs. The main task of the remaining kobolds is to give birth to more kobolds with all their strength."
Gavin found that he had been too hasty in implementing family planning among the kobolds, and he had far underestimated his ability to make trouble.
With the size of the territory he currently owns, let alone one hundred thousand kobolds, even if he is given one million, it is not enough.
Therefore, he is going to take full advantage of this race's fertility advantages.
"No problem, leave the issue of their support to me." Lord Virginia naturally also noticed the usefulness of kobolds, especially the kobolds cultivated by himself in the dragon oak mother tree, which are more compatible with the dragon oak mother tree.
The kobolds that are subsequently cultivated do not all need to be as evil as the first batch of wilderness kobolds. They only need to be half of them and can meet the hard conditions for entering the Dragon Oak Dreamland, and they will have a greater effect on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
After all, their terrifying reproductive ability is something other fey species in the Demonic Wilderness do not have. This is the price a long-lived race must pay to gain longevity.
The plasticity of kobold blood makes this matter not just a fantasy, it just requires a little more thought and energy on them.
"Have you estimated the time for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree's upgrade? Can we catch up with the winter troops?" Although he was mentally prepared to not be able to borrow power from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree for a long time, Gavin still wanted to know the exact time, which would be more convenient. of making plans.
"Using troops in winter? Where are you planning to use troops? It has always felt like you have a huge plan in the material plane, and everything revolves around this plan." Lord Virginia took the opportunity to ask solved the problem that has been pressing deep in my heart for a long time.
This time, Gavin didn't hide anything, and didn't even make excuses. "Yes, I do have a very grand plan. The variables are too great, and it doesn't make much sense to say it. We Let’s just talk about this recent one.
The continent of Faerûn is only the largest continent in the material plane called Toril, but not all of it. To the east of it, there is another continent connected to it, Karatu, which is not inferior to it in area.
Most of the area between the two continents is separated by deserts and mountains that are difficult to cross manually. Only in the north, a prairie called the Endless Wilderness closely connects the two sides.
In this endless wilderness, there lives a brave nomadic people. They spend most of their time living in scattered tribes on the prairie spanning thousands of kilometers, fighting against the harsh natural environment.
But once a majestic eagle spreads its wings over the endless wilderness, countless nomads will follow him on the journey, or go south to invade and plunder the Xianglong Empire on the Karatu continent.
Or go west to plunder the wealth of Faerûn.
Now there is an eagle named Yatu rising in the endless wilderness, claiming to lead millions of troops.
The Xianglong Empire now has a wise ruler, with dozens of generals, millions of armored men, and a Xianglong Great Wall that stretches thousands of kilometers as a support.
Those nomads who are not good at attacking cities will find it difficult to break through there.
They only have one choice left. "
"With a million troops?" Lord Virginia kept gasping. He didn't hear the other introductions, only the terrifying troop figures.
This number, in the eyes of the fey, is a completely incredible astronomical figure.
I don’t know if all the Yalings in the Royal Court of Xia combined have this number.
These are only the combatable soldiers of one side, and given that not everyone is a warrior, there will be at least five or six times the number of civilians behind them.
"Leading a million troops is often an exaggerated rhetorical device. Commanding a million cavalry is an imaginary number. There must be hundreds of thousands. Even for the residents of Faerûn, this is a military disaster. Just rely on one There is no way to fight against the power of the country.
As the countries at the forefront, they will definitely ask for help from the interior. When the time comes, I want to organize troops and respond to the call to go to support. There is no way to expand my influence faster than this kind of large-scale war. "After sharing his plan, Gavin immediately felt much more relaxed. Otherwise, no matter how close the relationship between the two was, there would always be a layer of separation between them.
"Do you have a detailed map and time schedule?" Virginia was very receptive and didn't question why Gavin knew so much about the situation thousands of kilometers away.
Because if you ask, 80% of it is still a prophetic dream.
This is not important, as long as it is accurate and beneficial to them. From the current point of view, Gavin's prophetic dreams are very accurate.
"Yes." Gavin was naturally prepared. He unfolded a relatively detailed map of Faerûn and pointed out all the key points in the plan to Virginia. He just said: "The endless wilderness is too vast, and the nomadic people are too big." It takes time to mobilize troops on a large scale, and it will take time until the troops are assembled to launch an offensive in the winter at the earliest. Other countries in Faerûn will have to wait until the spring of the following year to receive the news and respond.
But we cannot wait until that time. We must make the corresponding preparations before winter comes, especially for grain and grass.
As soon as the war broke out there, a small group of elite troops were sent to fight the outpost.
The military operation will have to wait until other countries react and mass their troops on a large scale, and then follow suit.
The opponent's military strength is too strong, and our family cannot resist it.
We can't even be considered the main force, we can only play peripheral roles. "
"Hey... if you keep beating the drum, you may become the main protagonist." Lord Virginia showed absolute confidence in Gavin, "In this case, I will adjust the Dragon Oak Mother Tree The advancement time of the upgrade and transformation should be completed before you use your troops. You can create a portable extra-dimensional hole sub-bag as soon as possible. We will keep in touch at any time."
Now the Virginia lords also felt the importance of instant communication.
"I still need you to take time in the next few days and fully assist me in transporting these equipment and supplies to Tessel."
"Okay, I will arrange the time."
"Let General Stelina select an elite team and teleport to Misnoel first to start a small-scale confrontation. The remaining eladrin soldiers will rush there."
"Wait a minute. After I tell Stelina, you can negotiate arrangements with her."
"That's fine."
Just when Gavin and Lord Virginia were discussing business and preparing to leave, he was called by the kobold manager who was cleaning up the spit of the Nightmare Snake, "Lord, there is treasure, there is treasure, gold And silver!”
The two of them stopped immediately and looked at the situation.
I saw that the dirt on three pieces of metal had been cleaned. One piece was shining with golden light, and the other two pieces were shining with silver light. They were both about the size of a fist.
The Virginia lord took a fairy step and dodged directly to the three pieces of metal. He didn't care about the dirt on it that had not been completely cleaned. He tried to pick up the shining golden metal, but it sank. He couldn't lift it completely at first. When she got up, not only was she not angry, but she showed an excited smile and said: "This is not gold, this is fine gold. These two pieces are mithril. It is rare to find fine gold and mithril with such high purity. The impurities must have been caused by this." The powerful gastric juices of a greedy snake have digested it completely. Look quickly to see if there are any other metal ingots of this kind."
"Lord, there is another piece here..."
"There's a piece here too!"
"Here are two pieces!"
What was once a hated job, cleaning, turned into a treasure hunt.
When the thorough cleaning was completed, a total of 98 kilograms of fine gold and 160 kilograms of mithril were found. The purity could not be said to be 100%, it was absolutely terrifying.
Gavin couldn't help but exclaimed: "Did this snake swallow a piece of fine gold ore and mithril? Why is there so much fine gold and mithril in its stomach?"
"These fine gold and mithril, after entering its stomach, are not necessarily ores. They may be fine gold or mithril equipment. All other substances have been digested by it, leaving only the fine gold and mithril that its gastric juice cannot digest. Silver, don't forget that it has created not one but a dozen man-eating bags. They have existed for who knows how many years and have been placed in countless planes. There are always some fools who will suffer losses and be fooled. The equipment that went in might have been swallowed, and he might have been swallowed too." Lord Virginia boldly assumed.
"That's true." Gavin nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "I just don't know if there are many such greedy snakes. I'll see if I can collect other man-eating bags in the future. I'll just blow them up if I have nothing to do. , is definitely a shortcut to getting rich. Not only can you get a super powerful extra-dimensional bag, but you can also get a bunch of rare precious metals. These are enough to make dozens of fine gold and mithril weapons. The battle on my body I can copy three or five sets of armor."
"If you want to imitate your battle armor, it is not enough to just have the raw materials. You must also have a strong enough craftsman. At the very least, you must be a master blacksmith who is extraordinary or above. Even fine gold and mithril weapons are not ordinary. A craftsman can do it." Virginia poured cold water on Gavin.
"With good materials, are we still worried about not being able to hire a good blacksmith?" In an instant, several names flashed through Gavin's mind. They were all famous master blacksmiths in Ferenc.
However, either the traces are difficult to find, or they live in places that they have not yet set foot in, such as the Great Rift in Char, where the largest golden dwarf kingdom is located. Even if you want to use high-level teleportation to get there, it is not easy. .
Well.
How could I have forgotten him?
Jiharin.
This is a name Gavin just thought of.
If this name is mentioned alone, many people will not know his background.
But if you connect him with another name, Tesyama, everyone in the North will know it.
And he is the exiled king of the Kingdom of Tesyama and the current leader of the Iron Clan.
Although he is not world-famous for his blacksmith skills, the forging technology of the Kingdom of Tesyama is well-known throughout the North. In particular, the mines of Tesyama also produce fine gold. Their fine gold forging technology was even better back then. The elves of Myth Drannor were also full of praise.
In Gavin's grand plan, the recovery of the dwarven kingdom of Tethyama is also an important part.
There has been no opportunity to contact this exiled dwarf clan.
This pile of fine gold and mithril created an opportunity for him.
"If you can, help me make some adamantine alloy fish scales. I can make elven elven goldfish scale armor. Although it is not as good as your battle armor, it can be used with the elven soldiers' fairy steps." Virginie Sub-Lord suggested.
The natural elf steps of eladrin destined them to have special requirements for armor, and the power of the elf wilderness must be infused into the production in order to match their innate abilities.
"No problem." Gavin nodded and agreed without hesitation. In the future, he will have more and more opportunities to use the eladrin soldiers. It is also one of his responsibilities to change their clothes.
In addition, the two had in-depth discussions on many issues such as the transformation of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the reasonable distribution of troops on both sides, and the formation of troops on the other side of the curtain.
They also entered into an in-depth communication physically and emotionally, because the two knew that this time the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was upgraded, they would not be able to see it for at least three months.
Coupled with the impact of midsummer on the lord of the Fairy Wilderness, the lord of Virginia became extremely passionate and obsessed, wishing to ask for one piece at a time in the next three months.
