"Choose a place to build a city?"
"What do you mean, madam? Are we not going to immigrate to the valley? Are we going to take root here? Although the terrain here is suitable for survival, it has been deserted for so many years and no one has taken root here. It is not without reason. There is not only the Giant Plains, but also the Troll Mountains. , Giant's Run Mountains, and Snowflake Mountains are surrounded by three major mountain ranges, and the number of monsters that breed within them is staggering. If we build a city here, we will face endless harassment until every drop of our blood is drained."
"I think Your Excellency the Chief of Staff's choice of location to build the city is a strategy, in order to lure all the trolls from the Wailing Dwarf Kingdom to attack us in the positions we arranged."
"Yes, I think so too. What happened to Darauma will also happen to the Kingdom of the Wailing Dwarves, especially in such a short period of time, the population has increased so much, and the trolls have appeared again. They are a race that is notoriously lazy, not engaged in production, and does not store food. In a few days, they will have to face a food shortage. They will definitely not be able to endure it and come to attack us."
"Your lord, wouldn't you have thought of this a long time ago? Therefore, buying so much food and crossbow weapons in Ritawen will be enough for us to fight a protracted war here."
"If we really build a city for a protracted war, I suggest that General Bloodclaw continue to lead the team to sweep the Giant Plains. On the one hand, he will absorb more troops to enrich himself, and on the other hand, he will drive more enemies towards the Wailing Dwarves, allowing them to continue to expand. , enhance their self-confidence and increase their food crisis."
"Aren't you worried that their power will grow beyond what we can handle?"
"Don't worry, their original size determines that they have a carrying capacity limit. Once they reach the carrying capacity limit, they will either fall into an internal struggle for power, or they will pass on this internal contradiction and launch a war externally. There is no third possibility. Either way, it’s very beneficial to us.”
Veranika just made a start, and the others started to talk about it, and they pieced together her plan.
The opinions were surprisingly unanimous. They all agreed with this plan. The replenishment of supplies in Shwetawen gave them the confidence to fight a protracted war.
Moreover, there is no clear time limit for their migration. Even if it takes a year to bring all these immigrants to the valley, it will be a great victory for them.
If they brought the immigrants here in just one month, but lost most of the population, it would be a complete failure, and there would be no follow-up to the immigrants.
Seeing that the others did not put forward any new opinions, Veranika continued: "What you said is only part of it. This city is not just a ruse, but we really want to build it. The shortcomings you mentioned , all for humans, what if this city is handed over to General Bloodclaw?"
This time, Veranika did not wait for others to discuss it, but directly pointed to the military map on the ground and said: "Look at the terrain here.
The distance between Shwetavon and Ivanso is almost equal, between 300 and 400 kilometers.
If you want to revitalize the migration path, there must be a city here that can not only withstand all risks, but also support war with war and continue to develop and grow.
This is something that human cities cannot do.
You can only build a hobgoblin city that is good at fighting and likes to fight.
With this city, everyone in the south can expand human cities without any worries.
If a commercial road is built here that leads directly to the Shenliu Lake Cross-Lake Bridge, it can directly bypass the Snowflake Mountains and cut into the Weihong Road.
On one side, it was a smooth road with no monsters to harass, but it only required a detour of more than 100 kilometers.
On one side is a mountain road that is rugged and difficult to navigate and filled with monsters.
It is self-evident how those businessmen choose.
By then, this place will become as important a commercial city as Shwetavon.
In order to facilitate management, we can build a twin city, one part composed and managed by humans, who are mainly engaged in commerce, and the other part is the hobgoblin military camp, mainly engaged in fighting, and their support is responsible for the human part. "
"That's right, only a strong army that repeatedly sweeps the Giant Plains can ensure that no more monster tribes breed and the safety of the migration route can be ensured. General Blood Claw and the Blood Claw Army are perfect for this. Count with one fell swoop."
"With so much manpower and material resources, coupled with the help of so many unusual races, the speed at which we build the city must be extraordinary. It is not impossible to build a city in a few months."
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the third lord knight is worthy of being the strategist lady. He is indeed extraordinary. He can include so many things in one plan."
"I have no objection to other parts of this plan. I think the matter of the Twin Cities still needs to be discussed. Doing so can easily leave disasters. If you want a city to prosper and develop, finance and military power must be unified with each other.
I know, Mr. Chief of Staff, that this is done to facilitate the development of business, but it is not worth it if the future of the city is used as the price.
As long as this city is convenient and safe enough, I believe those businessmen will ignore the small flaw that this is a great goblin city. "
"The direction of your discussion is a bit too far. It is a long-term plan and there are many variables in it. We can wait until we defeat the enemies of the short-term plan before deciding."
"Haha, the main reason is that the chief of staff's plan is so touching that people can't help but follow it. Yes, these are too far away. We should focus on the present. Lord, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes are focused on Gavin, and the final decision depends on him.
"Lord City Lord, what do you think about this?" Gavin did not express his opinion directly, but turned to ask Zalanda for his opinion.
Because the original purpose of transferring Blood Claw to Tethyr was not to immigrate, but to solve the problem of goblins in the marching mountains.
Zalanda obviously knew what Gavin was referring to, and smiled and said: "The plan is not static. Of course, we must choose the one with greater benefits for us. It is not the bloodclaw general who can disrupt the situation in the marching mountains. In the future, we can completely start from the blood." General Claw dispatched a hobgoblin army to assist.
But the situation here must be determined by the generals. If they become bigger and stronger here, it will be extremely beneficial to Darauma.
Not only will we have a new trade route that can lead to the Dragon Bay and the Weihong Sea.
The city of Retavon in Amn will be outflanked by us, and many things must be tilted towards us.
In addition, it is also beneficial to subsequent immigrants. From Darauma to here, it has become a low-risk and smooth road. Those who intend to immigrate can reach here along the migration path by bringing their own food. "
Gavin nodded, indicating that he understood Zalanda's intention. He turned his attention to the hobgoblin warlord who was directly involved and asked, "What is the general's opinion on this?"
In the eyes of many people, Gavin's question was obviously a bit redundant.
Bloodclaw's opinions were displayed uncontrollably on his face. His already red face turned even redder, and his long pointed nose blew out hot breath.
Veranika's analysis is correct. For humans, this place is an out-and-out hell Shura field.
But for the hobgoblins, this is paradise, because the kingdom of Magrubit, the powerful god of their race, is in the Shura plane, and they face endless wars every day.
What attracted Bloodclaw the most was the characteristics of the hobgoblin giants produced in the Giant Plains.
A battle group of one hundred hobgoblin giants made him invincible.
What if there are one thousand or ten thousand?
Just thinking about it makes people so excited that they can’t help themselves.
But if you want to build a city, you can't do it without Gavin's support.
He is good at leading troops in battles, but asking him to actually build a fortress is beyond his capabilities.
Especially as the number of troops under his leadership increased, he also clearly felt the pressure of logistical supplies.
When there were a few thousand people, he could still support them through robbery, but as the population began to approach the tens of thousands mark, this method alone was not enough. Stable and reliable logistical supplies were necessary.
This is also an important reason why monster tribes, whose number rarely exceeds tens of thousands, establish their own country.
Because they are not good at large-scale farming and production, after reaching a certain number, internal strife and division will easily occur in order to survive.
Not to mention building a city, even if the Blood Claw Legion wants to further develop and grow, it must firmly embrace Gavin's thigh.
Therefore, even though there was endless desire in his heart, Blood Claw said with great respect: "We obey all arrangements of the lord."
Blood Claw's answer was beyond many people's expectations.
I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in my heart. This was a decent answer, but much better than simply approving the construction of the city.
Promoting the construction of the city is not the first thing he needs to do. Making sure that after the city is built, he is the supreme leader here is what he needs to do.
Gavin originally wanted to buy a bicycle but ended up buying a Rolls-Royce. This was not the first time that Gavin had encountered this situation. He had become accustomed to it and directly said: "Okay, we will build the city here, but before that, there is another problem. Where is the city built?”
Veranika, who was the first to propose this plan, said: "This city is a city of four wars, and defense is the top priority. It must not be placed in an open and unobstructed area. This place is backed by the remnants of the Snowflake Mountains. I suggest Pick the right spot in that direction.”
"It's useless to talk about this kind of thing. Send out all the aerial scouts, especially those Erd and Harpy Kobolds, and let them survey the surrounding area. They have certain professionalism in this matter, Su Commander Xi, all members of your Trap Legion are involved in this matter, and you are in charge, especially in places suitable for establishing quarries." In this matter, Gavin believed in the intuition and professionalism of the kobolds, especially These kobolds were cultivated by themselves.
"Yes." Susie stood up and responded.
"Are there any other things to discuss?" Gavin glanced at everyone one by one, "If not, let's break up the meeting and start preparing for the construction of the city!"
"Did Lord Lord forget something?" Carissa asked eagerly, "Where is our friendship competition?"
"I haven't forgotten it, but after putting this matter into perspective, I found that your fighting relies more on the expertise and instincts brought by professional levels, and lacks systematic training. Now in the competition, you are competing more on your abilities in this area. , many people in Goliath started the mountain resonance.
With only a little height advantage, it is difficult for the hobgoblin giant to gain any advantage in front of you. Why not wait until I sort out a systematic training method? After you have finished training, it will not be too late to compete again. "
The previous battle with the hobgoblin giant made Gavin realize many things that the legendary warrior did not possess.
Because at that time, he had not been able to activate his extraordinary body. He felt that many of his movements could not only be faster and shorter, but could even induce surrounding magic elements to enhance his attacks.
This made him feel that it was necessary to explore the routines of boxing and swordsmanship to see if he could produce something new.
After Gavin said this, Carissa couldn't help but recall his previous fighting method. The complicated changes and the cleanliness were indeed something they didn't have when they fought.
Even if it were her place, the result would not be much better than that of the hobgoblin giant. If they could learn this skill, their combat effectiveness would indeed be improved. He responded readily: "I have no objection, where is General Bloodclaw?" ?”
"I also obey the arrangement of the lord." Bloodclaw was now fully aligned with Gavin.
"Then everyone should perform their duties and do what they want." Gavin waved his hand and announced the dissolution of the meeting.
When the immigrants learned that they were not going to move on, but to build a city here, they did cause quite a commotion, but it did not get out of control. Instead, they were calmed down by a series of appeasement policies adopted by Gavin and others.
First of all, they did not build the city in vain, but they were paid for it, ranging from a few silver coins to a few gold coins, depending on the type of work. Even the injured who did nothing had the lowest stay pay. Everything will be accumulated and will be settled together when you go to a new territory.
In fact, not only were they paid for building the city, but they were also paid for all the work they performed along the way.
Management of human beings is naturally based on the human way. The more you work, the more you get, and the more you work, the more you get. The most you can do is to give preferential policies on some policies, and never give them away for free. If you get something for nothing for a long time, you will only cultivate a group of moths. .
Secondly, the distance they had traveled was too far. Even if they returned to Ritavon, it would still be nearly 300 kilometers away. Not to mention that the food was in Gavin's hands. Even if it was in their own hands, they would not have the guts to return alone.
Once again, the force displayed by the migrating army was powerful enough. It was not the monsters that came to invade them, but their mad attack, driving the monster tribes on the Giant Plains into panic and fleeing.
Especially when the site for building the city was selected, the entire migratory army drove over, and the floor-type vans formed a wall one after another, blocking the entrance of the valley tightly. After the safety factor was improved, even the side van army and the Nuo The Special Guards Corps also began to cooperate with the three major armies of the Blood Claw Corps to attack, further expanding the results.
The Bloodclaw Legion has now been transformed into a pure hobgoblin legion, only recruiting goblin humanoids (goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears and hobgoblin giants). As for other monster races, they are either killed on the spot or driven towards the giant. The direction of the Magic Mountain Range.
News of the rise of a troll empire had spread throughout the Giant Plains.
Whether it is out of the same hatred towards the Bloodclaw Legion or out of fear of the trolls, not wanting to be treated as dinner by them, joining them is the best choice.
Facing a steady stream of monsters that took the initiative to take refuge, the noble trolls of the Wailing Dwarf Kingdom couldn't help but rejoice. After all, the more troops they had, the stronger they would be.
But when the city of the Wailing Dwarves was filled with all kinds of monsters inside and outside, attacking three times a day and five times a day, turning the already smoky troll kingdom into a hell on earth, those who lacked experience in governance The noble trolls finally realized that something was wrong.
If this continues, they will have to start a fight.
Especially when the latest news about the migrating army came, these noble trolls directly blew up the camp first.
"What are you talking about? Those humans are not leaving? Are they starting to build a city on the other side of the Snowflake Mountains?" A sharp roar sounded from the top of the dwarf city, filled with disbelief. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It's definitely not wrong. I escaped from the Blood Gorge. Those humans were really ruthless. They blocked the entrance of the canyon with trucks as high as city walls. Except for the goblin-like creatures who were willing to surrender, all the rest After killing them all, our entire tribe has become a dead soul. I swear in the name of Gruumsh that I, Leslie, will definitely make those despicable humans pay the price." This orc giant is half a body taller than the normal orcs. , at the end, he took out the dagger he carried with him, slashed his face hard, and swore angrily.
This is a sacred ritual of the orcs called the Scarface Oath of Vengeance.
Before revenge, this scar cannot be healed, not even by divine magic.
"Cody, Cody, don't sleep anymore. Didn't you swear before that those humans would cross the plains and pass by not far from our kingdom, and they would be the food delivered to your door? How do you explain it now?" The sharp voice roared again. In order to vent his inner anger, he turned and chewed the head of the troll next to him, making him scream and squeal. However, they shared the same body and there was no way to avoid the other head. If you bite it, you can only slam it back hard.
Before things started to be discussed, the two leaders of the Troll Kingdom started fighting.
Except for the orc giant named Leslie who was a little stunned, the other trolls were used to it.
Although they share the same body, the two troll heads have their own consciousness. Most two-headed creatures have this characteristic.
The same is true for the two-headed trolls named Cody and Corey. To be more precise, they are noble two-headed trolls, because this troll has a huge body that exceeds that of ordinary trolls, and is over four and a half meters tall. It is different from The average troll is emaciated and rickety, but he has a fat waist and a strong body, somewhat similar to an ogre. This shows that he lives a very comfortable life, usually has plenty of food, and rarely uses his regeneration ability - the troll's regeneration ability. You need to use your own energy reserves.
A troll's body type can be used to determine how his life is going. A skinny troll will definitely be miserable, while a fat troll's life will definitely not be much different.
Corey and Cody collided for four or five rounds, screaming in pain, and finally stopped this chaotic fight.
