"It's starting, it's starting, it's going to start!"

"What's going to start?"

"Of course it's immigration, collective immigration to the valley is about to begin!"

"What are you yelling about? Calculate the time, how long has this matter been publicized? There is no certainty. If it is really going to start, why are you yelling here? The city lord would have sent someone as soon as possible. Notified."

"Yes, no matter how well-informed you are, can you still be faster than the Lord of the City?"

"The city lord needs to set an accurate time. Of course, it will be a step later than my news. If you don't believe it, you can go outside the East City and see for yourself. There are many strange carts and many tree people coming there."

"I can testify that he did not lie. There were not only carts and tree men, but also a kind of half-giant that I had never seen before. He had unique tattoos on his body. His skin was like a gray mountain stone, and his arms were bigger than my thighs. Thick, those muscle lumps look as hard and contoured as rocks.”

"Goliath! You should be talking about a kind of nomadic people living in the mountains. They are called the people of the mountains. I heard that Mr. Gavin surrendered a group on the side of Misnoel. So, they are It’s from Mys Noel, I wonder if Mr. Gavin came in person?”

"It's coming, it must be coming. Just now, the city lord of Zalanda left the city with General Nora. If Mr. Gavin hadn't come, the city lord would definitely not have mobilized so many troops."

"So, the immigration plan is really about to start. Whether it's the big cars, the tree people, or the Goliaths, they are all here for this."

"Let me just say, it is absolutely impossible for us to prepare for such a large immigration momentum by ourselves. The City Lord and Mr. Gavin will definitely take action and be prepared. If there are a large number of tree people and half-giants traveling with us, , our safety will be greatly guaranteed, and even the road will be much easier to walk on, let alone pulling a car, they can lift both the car and the cargo."

"Speaking of safety, I heard a top-secret message."

"What top secret news? Tell me."

"Can you just say top secret information? Hehe..."

"Stop blackmailing me here. Who knows if the information you tell me is useful or not. I won't fall for your trick again."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Can he get the top secret information?"

"After hearing this news, you will take the initiative to treat me to a drink. It is said that Mr. Gavin organized an army of hobgoblins to help the immigration team clear the way forward. The salt prepared by the Lord of the City a few days ago and the equipment transported overnight , it is prepared for them, I heard that they have killed so many people, the blood will dye the road along the way black, when the time comes, we will follow this road."

"I've also heard about this matter."

"Come on, let's go to the tavern to discuss it in detail. I'll buy today's wine."

"Ha, let me tell you, you will take the initiative to treat me to a drink."

The great migration of thousands of miles from Darauma to the valley is no longer a matter of Gavin alone, but involves the hearts of everyone in Darauma.

Both those who are planning to immigrate and those who are not planning to immigrate are extremely concerned about this matter.

Because they will all benefit from this.

Immigrants will start a new life.

Non-immigrants will receive more resources and living space.

Now from top to bottom, there is no voice of opposition, only agreement and agreement.

Not only because Gavin's reputation here is growing, but also because the series of preparations made by the officials have far exceeded the imagination of these citizens, making them feel that their safety is greatly guaranteed, and it seems that thousands of miles away It's not that hard to walk.

Especially when Gavin led the convoy of Mis Noel, it caused a huge sensation in Dalauma, and many people rushed to come and watch.

The first thing the citizens saw at first sight were the activated plants with human-like shapes mixed in the team. The citizens of Dalauma were no strangers to them, and they even had a sincere fondness for them.

Because there is a group of such beings on the banks of the Is River, assisting in a series of tasks that are difficult to do manually, such as salvaging sunken ships and towing fishing boats.

Legend has it that Mr. Gavin Nott is not an ordinary person, but a half-elf with the blood of the royal family of elves. He is the orthodox successor of Myth Noel. He has now taken back this lost elf city, and the natural things in the forest The race respected him as king and paid allegiance to him, including the treants, guardians of the forest.

There were as many as thirty tree men in the convoy, confirming this legend.

This time, the citizens of Darauma were right. The thirty-two people in the convoy were all tree people.

Eighteen of them were dark treants who were catalyzed by the roots of the gods and were later purified. The rest were enlightened by Gavin from around Myth Noel by taking advantage of the convenience of the Tower of Dominance in his spare time. Except for one Lei Mu needs to be used as a deterrent weapon, sitting outside the Tower of Domination. The others have been brought out by Gavin. They will be the backbone of the thousands-mile immigration team. Whether it is deterrent or dragging heavy objects, they have Absolute advantage.

Another eye-catching aspect of this team is their big cars.

It's not so much a big car as it is a small wooden house on wheels.

It is more than three meters wide, more than six meters long, and more than four and a half meters high. It has a double-layer structure. The bottom layer is a three-meter sealed structure, and the upper one and a half meters is a heightened protective panel, which is semi-open.

The wheels are very different from ordinary wheels. The height is close to an adult's chest, fully one and a half meters, and the thickness is twice that of ordinary wheels. There are four per car.

The most unique thing is that these large cars, whether they are carriages or wheels, are all integrated into one body. Not to mention iron nails, there are no traces of riveting, just like they grew out of trees.

This is by no means an ordinary carpentry craft, but something that the druids can only do with their wood bending and wood shaping skills.

If this kind of super-heavy truck were to be pulled by ordinary war horses, let alone one, even two horses would be a bit difficult to pull an empty truck.

Looking at the height of their carriages, you can tell that they are not prepared for those war horses at all. The tree men can drag them just fine, and it is as easy as drinking cold water. A tree man is not dragging a car, but a string. The three vehicles together, even though they were empty, still showed their terrifying power.

There are a hundred of these floor-type vans.

There is another simple type, the vehicle chassis is exactly the same, except that one layer is omitted on top, not the second layer, but the first layer, and only half of the second layer is left.

There is a thick wooden board one and a half meters high on only one side and the back.

Many Dalauma officers who had read the latest edition of The Way of War immediately called out the name of this type of chariot - a sidecar.

When they gather together, with the side with the baffle facing outward, they will form a sidecar formation. Together with a group of spearmen and archers, it is enough to keep most of the monster tribes away.

The number of sidecars was neither too many nor too little, exactly one hundred.

The ones dragging them were more mixed, including wild horses, bison, and long-haired bull-like beasts. The one who took up the bulk was the tall Goliath. There were fifty of them, both men and women. They will also go north with the team.

"In this case, you are the best at Mis Noel, so you are not afraid that the drow will come again?" Zalanda asked Gavin with a smile.

"What Misnoel relies on is not purely military strength, but the powerful spell amplification ability of the Tower of Domination. With a small team of spells guarding it, it can withstand tens of thousands of troops. Unless the masked king comes and incarnates, otherwise, for a while, It's been a while, but they still haven't been able to break through." Gavin was extremely confident in Mys Noel's defensive capabilities.

After the Year of Turmoil, the gods returned to their positions, and the laws restricting the gods in the multiverse changed. The gods could not descend to the material plane as gods, and could only take the form of saints or incarnate as gods.

In a short period of time, no god will dare to come as a saint, because even they are not sure whether they will die directly like last year once they die in the material plane as a saint.

They are now in the material plane, relying mainly on divine incarnations.

Even if it is the incarnation of divinity, it cannot come just when they want to. It must be summoned by a strong enough force - just like Zalada gathered the faith of all the citizens of Dalauma before they have the opportunity to come.

Or big events related to their ministry, like Leprechaun Midsommar and the premiere of The Great Phantom of the Trail.

But this matter is dangerous.

Once the divine incarnation is destroyed, it will be a big impact for any god, so you must be careful when using it.

Previously on the banks of the Is River, Gavin and the others showed their ability to kill a divine incarnation of a god.

The biggest enemy of the masked monarch is his mother Rose and her followers. Once he takes action, it will inevitably affect the huge spider web behind him.

This is also the case for other gods. They do not exist in isolation. They usually have their own divine enemies. Before they take action, they must first consider whether their enemies will take the opportunity to launch an offensive against them.

As a Ms. Strategy voter, Zalanda naturally understands these things more clearly. She looked at the huge motorcade and said: "You are as reassuring as ever in your work. Today I will put the icing on the cake and repay the original debt."

Zalanda pointed to the ten Enlightenment Trees that were slowly coming in the distance and said, "They will go north with you."

"You return them all to me, what will you do here?" Gavin was moved, but also a little surprised.

These enlightenment trees were originally used by him to support the salvage of the Dalauma shipwreck.

If they join the team, the team will naturally be more flexible, but some construction projects in Dalauma will be affected.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mei, who has just been promoted to the tenth level Druid." Zalanda pointed to the shy girl not far behind her who looked no more than sixteen years old.

She obviously had not received so much attention, and she was a little helpless, just like a frightened deer, with her head lowered.

Looking at her appearance, there was no way to connect her with an extraordinary druid.

There is no need to ask more questions. She was 100% created by Zalanda using the method of war. She has no professional level and some abilities, and many inner things have not been improved.

But it doesn't matter to Gavin or Zalanda.

The important thing is that she already has the ability to cast the enlightenment spell, which can enlighten trees.

Quick-finished products also have the advantage of being quick-finished. The orthodox Druid concept has not yet been deeply rooted in her, and she is easily influenced by Zalanda's pragmatism.

With her, these ten enlightenment trees are indeed dispensable to Zalanda and can be completed in ten days.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of war.

It is completely possible to support war through war and quickly cultivate extraordinary elite talents. What is limiting Zalanda now is that wars are not frequent enough.

After figuring out what was going on, Gavin nodded and said, "Then I won't be polite to you."

"Don't worry, there's still more." Zalanda waved his hand, a loud horn sounded, and a group of cavalry in heavy armor rushed over.

The one at the head was tall and powerful, riding a strong wild boar with razor-like tusks. Who else could it be if it wasn't King Kong Babinora.

These one hundred heavy cavalrymen rushed all the way to Gavin, reined in their horses, showed excellent riding skills, dismounted suddenly, knelt down alone, and said in unison: "Nott is close." Guards, we have seen the Baron, no matter where the Baron goes, we will follow him to the death."

Zalanda said on the side: "From today on, you are Baron Nott. This does not require my canonization, and I am not qualified to canonize you. Next, you will lead them north in this capacity."

As for the fact that Gavin had no blood in the Nott family at all, Zalanda ignored it.

Many times, the truth doesn't matter, as long as the other person acknowledges it.

The aristocratic circle is notoriously chaotic in this regard. Those families that have lasted for hundreds of years have had their bloodlines changed several times without even realizing it.

"Okay, okay, okay, everyone, get up." Gavin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Zalanda was the icing on the cake to the extreme.

He just lacks such an elite human being.

After all, the land of Three Rivers is dominated by humans, so it is imperative to form a human army.

"Don't worry, there's still more." Zalanda waved his hand, and another loud horn sounded.

There was a more violent sound of horse hooves, and a larger cavalry galloped over.

Compared to the hundred heavy cavalry led by Nora, this cavalry was a bit disorganized, both in terms of team and equipment.

It can be said that there are various types, including light armor and heavy armor, both long spears and short knives.

The same thing is that he has a dark face, a strong body, long hands and long legs, and can talk and laugh happily when riding a horse.

The leader of the cavalry was not General Copperfield, who was known as Tethyr's last watchman. Who else could it be?

Copperfield galloped in front of Gavin, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Copperfield has seen the lord, and has come here to revive me."

"Get up, get up and talk." The smile on Gavin's face couldn't be suppressed even if he wanted to. Unexpectedly, the idlers he released at the beginning were also taken back, and he gained a lot. The more troops he had in his hands, the more success he had this time. The possibility is greater.

"Thank you, Lord." Copperfield stood up respectfully.

"General, is this trip going well?" Gavin asked with concern.

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern. There is no danger." Copperfield said as concisely as ever.

He has a typical military character, reporting good things but not bad things.

In fact, his trip caused quite a storm on the west coast of Tessel.

Gavin, who was born and raised in the eastern interior, is well aware of his deeds and can only imagine how much influence he has on the west coast.

It is especially attractive to those down-and-out nobles and knights of Tethyr who have ideas and ambitions but have no way to serve their country.

According to the original plan, Copperfield just sneaked back secretly, contacted those loyal old subordinates, and gathered a group of available talents for Gavin.

But unexpectedly, there was a traitor among these people, who sold his whereabouts to the noble warlords.

Just as Gavin and Zalanda had guessed at the time, if Copperfield died, the noble warlords would worship him as a god and use his unswerving philosophy of protecting Tethyr to educate Let the knights under my command learn this spirit and serve them better.

Once a living Last Watch appears in front of them, they will regard it as a poisonous scorpion beast and can't wait to eradicate him.

At first, the warlords and nobles only sent out assassination teams to betray the news that Copperfield was still alive to the pirates and let them hunt him down.

As a result, they were all killed by the old subordinates led by Copperfield and the secret rangers led by Darren. Not only was their strength not weakened, but the news that Copperfield was still alive spread further and made more people aware of it. Many people joined his team.

To those warlords and nobles, the team led by Copperfield was like a plague. Wherever he went, people would join him and help him regardless of the cost.

This can only be said that the god-making plan of those warlords and nobles was too successful.

To the people on the west coast of Tethyr, Copperfield is the second master Guan who jumped out of the Temple of Martial Arts. He is both loyal and brave. If you don't follow him, who will you follow?

In desperation, those warlords and nobles could only declare to the outside world that this Copperfield was a fake and shoddy product, and he was a heinous person who used the name of The Last Watcher to cheat.

In order to prove this, they secretly hired a group of shape-shifters to transform into Copperfield's appearance, swindling around and ruining his reputation.

This trick indeed played a big role and confused many people.

But it also gave the real Copperfield an opportunity to lead the people who were willing to follow him, march eastward, and return to Darauma.

The twists and turns of the story in the middle could definitely last up to half the night if told in detail.

"I wonder, General, how many people have you brought back this time?" Gavin did not hide it from Copperfield, but directly asked what he was most concerned about.

"There are 2,300 people in total, including nearly 500 old sailors, more than 300 knights who helped us along the way and were willing to follow us, and the rest are all hot-blooded mercenaries who are willing to follow us to the valley and create a new life. ." Copperfield briefly reported, "For the lord, the most useful ones at present are the three hundred knights. Not only do they have good combat power, but they are also upright and heroic people. From small to large, they have accepted It is the most orthodox Tethyr knight education. As long as there are sufficient soldiers and using them as the skeleton, we can raise an army of three thousand people in a short time. If we can disperse them into the migration team, we can It makes a huge army."
