"It's easy to find places where you can build a huge farm, but it's hard to turn it into a real farm." The Blood Claws knew their own business. It was easy for the hobgoblins to wield their swords, but it was too difficult to wave their heads.
"This is easy to handle. You are responsible for enclosing the land. When the time comes, I will send people to assist you, but it will not be free, but a reasonable fee will be charged." As his own properties increased, Gavin also began to adjust his strategies appropriately. , even for our own people, it is no longer purely free support.
This method can help him gather some funds into his own hands and focus on bigger things.
Of course, when it comes to pure development and layout, it's another matter. That's the basic investment in the early stage.
Bloodclaw has passed this period and needs to restore blood to Gavin.
"We are not afraid of paying, but we are afraid that no one will be able to use it." Bloodclaw grinned, "Actually, I have already identified a good piece of land around me, and I would like to ask the lord to hand over all those troll corpses to us, and we will take care of them. It becomes special industries and products.”
"Okay, I only have one request, which is to process the work, not to guard the migrating army. The raw materials obtained from the processing should be processed by yourself if you can process them by yourself. If you can't process them by yourself, leave them to me to find a way to further process them. The resulting products will be suitable for you. Half a point.”
Gavin knew what Bloodclaw wanted to do without asking.
These troll corpses are a unique commodity. In many cities, some alchemists will pay high prices to hire mercenaries to collect troll corpses and use them for experiments and alchemical potions.
Troll bones can be used to make weapon handles, bone jewelry, or special wands and staffs. The finished product has a chance to have special abilities related to regeneration.
Flesh is an excellent material for refining regeneration alchemical potions.
The remaining miscellaneous useless materials are buried in the ground, and herbs related to regenerative medicine can also be planted.
Even if Bloodclaw didn't say anything about this matter, Gavin was ready to leave the preliminary handling work to them.
After all, trolls are not animals, but humanoid creatures. When humans process them in large quantities, they are limited by their beliefs and moral concepts, and the psychological pressure is too great. Instead, they are not as advantageous as the hobgoblins, known as the butcher race.
"Okay." Blood Claw naturally has no reason to refuse. It is just doing some dirty work. This is not valuable. The most valuable thing is the technical work later.
"Apart from this, do you have any other good ideas? Tell them all for reference." Gavin just followed this line and found out a lot of new things.
"The rest is to rely on the migration road opened up by the lord to carry out normal business activities. We will provide military protection services for the business travelers along the way, especially those traveling through the Giant Plains. Appropriate protection fees will be charged at that time. It's a matter of course." Blood Claw's business thinking is as clear as ever, "I just hope, Lord, that before you leave, you can open up the business route to the Shenliu Lake Cross-Lake Bridge."
"This is natural. Not only will I help you open the business road leading to the Shenliu Lake Cross-Lake Bridge, but I will also help you open the road leading to the Kingdom of the Wailing Dwarves. However, these are just preliminary paving steps. You have to rely on yourselves for repair and maintenance." This was a plan that was finalized from the beginning. After all, the giant elephant tree people have the advantage of building roads in the plains.
"Is it free?" Bloodclaw asked cautiously.
"You got into the role very quickly." Gavin said with a straight face, "There is a fee."
"Ah..." Xue Claw couldn't help but feel bitter.
This is a huge project, and the cost is calculated in millions of gold coins, which is far beyond their capacity.
"Haha..." Gavin couldn't help but laugh and stopped teasing him, "Although there is a fee, you have already paid. Everything you did in the Giant Plains is an advance payment."
Bloodclaw also laughed and said, "Lord, you really know how to joke. It scared me. What are your plans for the Wailing Dwarves?"
Although he did not personally visit the Wailing Dwarves, from the few words he said after returning from Gavin, it was not difficult to feel that it was also a good place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If that area is also developed, his Blood Canyon will no longer be isolated.
"When you were sweeping the Giant Plains, did you find any kobold tribes?" Gavin was not inclined to hand over the Howling Dwarves to the hobgoblin tribe. He preferred the kobolds. Firstly, they were familiar and easy to control, and secondly, they were there. There are mineral veins, which not only produce iron ore, but also troll gems.
"I haven't seen them on the plains, but I heard that there are a large number of kobolds in the Troll Mountains and the Giant Running Mountains. If the Lord wants to gather them, I will send someone to pay attention to their movements." Blood Claw read. Gavin’s intention.
Not only did they not oppose it, they actually supported it with both hands.
In the past, when I fought with kobolds to death, my brains were almost knocked out.
Now they have tasted the excellence of this race as an auxiliary unit.
Moreover, their size destined them to be unable to become the main battle race. Even if there were giant kobolds among them, they would still be giant kobolds, not kobold giants, and would not threaten their status here.
"No, you already have enough tasks. The task of collecting kobolds should be left to our professionals." Gavin turned to Zalanda and said, "Lord City Lord, I have to bring my people back. ”
"Are you talking about Ms. Shanoba? It's a bit humiliating for her to serve as my mount. Having a flying war horse is enough for me. Madam, please return to the team!" Zalanda saw through Gavin's intention.
The most suitable person to rule the kobolds is always a dragon or a dragon-veined creature.
The Black Dragon Lady Xanoba is undoubtedly a good choice.
Shanoba, who was originally standing behind Zalanda, a little bored, suddenly became energetic and looked at Gavin with burning eyes, filled with unconcealed expectations.
For a person with a strong desire for power, serving as a mount for others, even for a city lord, is a very boring thing.
If it weren't for the absolute suppression from Gavin, she would have given up her career and left long ago.
"In the future, the Wailing Dwarves will be renamed Dwarf Statue City. You will take over as the supreme leader of this place, but you need to go out and collect the people. Before we leave this place, if you need anything, just ask, and I will try my best to provide you with help and convenience." Gavin and Shanobah are naturally welcome.
Although this woman is not a treacherous person, she is still a member of lawful evil. Her desire for power is no less than that of Daphne, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, including finding someone to cheat on her in private.
The reason for using her this time was not because of pillow style, but because he really didn't have a more suitable candidate in his hands.
And the six-armed snake demon Yeying gave him enough confidence. He no longer needed to be as timid about some things as before. At least after being exposed, he no longer had no power to fight back.
"Leave this place to me, Lord, don't worry." The black dragon girl patted her plump chest and said, "As long as you give me an Erd investigation team, I will handle the rest by myself."
In some ways, Shanobah's temperament is very similar to Gavin's. She also doesn't like to be restrained and likes to paint blankly.
This kind of empty BC city with nothing is really to her liking.
She just took the opportunity to try out this period of time and build a kobold city of her own using the experience she learned from Dragon Oak Territory and Dalauma.
"The Dwarf Statue City mainly focuses on detecting and mining this kind of troll gemstone, supplemented by iron ore." Gavin took out a black gemstone the size of an egg, which was obviously simply processed into an oval shape.
It is the specialty troll gem of the Troll Mountains, with simple and powerful attributes.
Troll Gem: The holder will gain the regeneration ability with the same Constitution adjustment value. If it already has the regeneration ability, the regeneration effect will be doubled, and the holder will also gain the regeneration ability with the Constitution adjustment value bonus.
Needless to say the value of this gemstone.
This is not only useful for combat professions, but also for all creatures with a constitution greater than 12 points.
However, in order to achieve its maximum effectiveness, it still needs to be in the hands of a creature with powerful regeneration capabilities, such as a troll.
Secondly, in the hands of combat professionals with super high physical strength, such as barbarians and warriors, it can greatly enhance their battlefield survivability.
The troll gem of his size was rare, the only piece of loot they had captured, and it came from Lord Kodikori.
There are more than ten pieces, about the size of a quail egg, with similar abilities. However, after the regeneration effect is doubled, there is no additional physical bonus to the regeneration ability.
The rest vary from the size of corn kernels to the size of quail eggs, and the regeneration capacity provided is a fixed value, either plus one or plus two. The quail egg size is the highest, reaching plus five.
Even if it is a troll gem that only adds one, it is a powerful magic gem, starting with at least 10,000 gold coins.
In addition, there are regeneration gems that are smaller than corn kernels. This kind of gem is no longer appropriately called a regeneration gem. It should be called a quick medical gem.
Because rapid medical treatment only restores the owner's lost life and heals some wounds, it is like being cast on a magical healing spell, but there is no way to regrow or join the broken limbs. If the owner suffers both fatal and non-fatal injuries at the same time, Rapid healing prioritizes healing non-lethal injuries rather than fatal injuries, which is the biggest difference from its regeneration ability.
In this war, just these troll gems can make Gavin and his friends make a fortune, at least millions - and this is after deducting this priceless treasure from Gavin's hand, which can be regarded as hundreds of thousands of gold coins. , comparable to an artifact in the hands of some people, don’t forget, this thing has not been deeply processed yet, and there is still great potential that can be tapped.
Not to mention there is a golden rooster that can lay golden eggs. When this place is developed on a large scale, it will definitely become Gavin's biggest profit point.
No wonder so many people in this world like to start wars, because this thing is so profitable, and they can turn other people's wealth into their own in just one turn.
The black dragon girl bowed excitedly to accept the order. She was not afraid that the city she was about to command was too powerful, but not powerful enough.
After the strategic things are settled, what remains is the relatively cumbersome rewards and punishments.
This matter must not only be fair and strict, but also careful investigation and evidence collection to prevent taking credit or omissions.
Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those whose hats should be rolled down should be rolled up.
War, especially large-scale war, is the best mirror for these front-line commanders.
Those who are capable will shine in this process.
Those who are incompetent will be exposed for what they are.
Overall, there are still more qualified ones.
After all, they had replaced some of them during the migration process.
Taking advantage of the great victory, the migrating army turned the entire Giant Plain upside down. The troops were divided into four groups, each going their own way.
The first step was to replenish the fully-strength side van vanguard battalion and transform it into a road construction team. First, they went southeast along the Snowflake Mountains and Shenliu Lake, and built more than 150 kilometers of lakeside roads, linking the migration road with Weihong Road is connected.
Then he turned back and built a 180-kilometer plain road from Blood Canyon to the Dwarf Statue City, connecting the two originally built cities. Then he returned to Blood Canyon to help build the city.
The second route was the Blood Claw Legion, which brought back the Blood Claw Wolf Cavalry. They once again entered the Giant Plains.
This time is a little different from the previous three times.
The news that the troll kingdom of the Wailing Dwarves had been completely destroyed has spread throughout the Giant Plains with the rout, and it is difficult for those monster tribes to raise their will to resist.
Moreover, the Blood Claw Legion no longer kills them all like they did in the past few times. No matter what race they are, as long as they are willing to bow to them and pay tribute obediently, they will let them go.
The goblin-like tribe no longer simply recruits elite soldiers, but the entire tribe, young and old, is brought back to the Blood Canyon.
Due to this strategic adjustment, the Blood Claw Legion penetrated deeply into the Giant Plains this time, with the fewest battles and the greatest gains.
Not only had all the soldiers who had been damaged in the previous battle been replenished, there were even hundreds of surplus soldiers, and there were more than 3,000 goblin women and children of various types.
This is just the beginning. Their name has been completely established in the Giant Plains. In the future, they will not need to go deep into the Giant Plains frequently. Many goblin-like tribes will come to seek refuge after hearing the news.
As time goes by, those monster tribes will take the initiative to send tribute money to the door instead of waiting for them to collect it - after all, no matter how restrained they are, they are still a group of cruel and violent people. Once they take action, all kinds of damage will definitely be inevitable.
The tributes brought back by the Blood Claw Legion were mainly various kinds of livestock, including tributes and wild animals that they assisted the Pik Druid sent to them by Gavin to collect, mostly wild horses, bison and wild boars. There are more than 10,000 in total, of which 3,000 are gigantic animals.
Gavin only organized three thousand gigantic animals into the migratory army, and the rest were used as herd seeds by the Blood Claw Legion.
The third route is the main body of the migrating army. Their main tasks are still two. One is to strengthen training themselves and prepare for the next migration.
The other continued to help the hobgoblins build a city in Blood Canyon. The construction here was carried out entirely in accordance with the hobgoblins' preferences. It was a huge military camp, horizontal and vertical.
Extraordinary construction races (trees, elves), a large number of mid- to low-level magic aids, plus huge manpower.
Three items in one.
Let Blood Canyon transform from a wilderness into a prototype city in just ten days.
They made full use of the terrain here. Most of the buildings were not built, but dug directly into the surrounding mountains.
In this battle to destroy the Wailing Dwarf Kingdom, Gavin and the others also had a hidden gain - Zalanda accumulated a lot of experience points in his way of war.
These experience points were not given to the Goliath Chapter and the Hobgoblin Giant Chapter that made the most contributions, nor were they given to the Hobgoblin infantry who fought bloody battles on the front line.
Instead, it gave the Trap Corps as an auxiliary unit, directly raising the professional level of twenty of them to level ten, and raising the professional level of the remaining 280 to level six on average.
The abilities of these trap makers are obvious to all.
Although they did not fight on the front line, the large number of traps they created played a decisive role in maintaining the stability of the battle line, and the number of enemies they killed far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers.
The most important thing is that their abilities can not only be used in combat, but also in construction, especially the three-ring stone shaping technique, which will play a decisive role in the construction of Blood Canyon and the subsequent migration. .
The basic construction process of the cave house in Blood Canyon is very similar to the kobold mining mode in Dragon Oak Territory, and it has advantages that it does not have.
The kobolds blasted with seismic bombs, and a large number of human workers loaded the blasted rubble into trucks. The tree people were responsible for hauling it away, and then handed it over to the trap makers for repair and reinforcement using stone shaping.
It only takes less than half a day to build a cave of hundreds of square meters.
There are three hundred such construction teams - as for the shortage of tree people, the strong hobgoblins and animals will make up for it.
The blood rock transported out by blasting was not wasted. It was all transported to the Blood Canyon and handed over to thousands of human masons for preliminary processing in preparation for subsequent construction.
The last road is the black dragon girl Shanoba.
After arranging the other three routes, Gavin personally took Shanobah straight to the Dwarf Statue City.
The Nott Guards Corps and the Blood Claw Wolf Cavalry Corps have completed the clearing of the surrounding area. This work is extremely simple.
There used to be so many trolls gathered here, and their daily consumption must have been terrifying. They were so hungry that they even ate their own servants, let alone those neighbors.
No one wants to live next door to a troll, unless they choose to live next door to a group of trolls.
Let alone a radius of ten kilometers, even if it is a radius of twenty kilometers, there is not even half of the other tribes.
And those monsters that fled from the Kingdom of the Wailing Dwarves could run as far as they wanted, so how could they stay nearby?
After realizing this, the two legions were withdrawn by Gavin. One joined the Blood Claw to perform the second mission, while the other was stationed back at the migrating army to guard the outside.
Only the Gray Fang Legion and the Goliath Chapter remain in the Dwarf Statue City.
