There are various ways to obtain this template, and there is no duplicate.
No, they obtained it in different ways, but the fundamental reason is the same. They all come from faith, pure faith, but because of different races, they believe in different things.
The kobolds believed in dragons, and they had just transformed into dragons.
Goliath believed in the mountains, and only then did he resonate with the earth.
The Eldest Spirits believed in the Fairy Wilderness, and they had just established the Eldest Spirit Nobles.
The hobgoblins respected war and believed in the mighty, so they had the Blood Oath Warlords.
It’s not just about faith. If it’s really that simple, all those devout priests have opened special templates. This also requires a response from the magic power of the material plane. The one who responded to these hobgoblins before was the land under their feet, which was repeatedly ravaged by them. and left and right lands, while Magrubit the Mighty was only a mediating point.
Gavin felt that he had found the context of the special template, and he would have a plan to use it in the future, which could be opened in a planned manner and in batches.
This is something in the future, and he is still focusing on the changes in Blood Claw.
Bloodclaw's other four special abilities are all related to the army, and the power of an army and the body of an army are similar to Carissa's power of the earth and body of the earth.
If he wants to fully stimulate it, he has to be in an army composed of hobgoblins. At that time, his combat effectiveness will suddenly rise, making his name as a warlord worthy of his name.
Moreover, Bloodclaw was not the only one to become the Bloodsworn warlord. In addition to him, there were eight others, five of whom came from the hobgoblin giants, and the other three were the earliest members of the Bloodsworn army who followed Bloodclaw.
There are also some who have partially turned on, gaining some attribute improvements, as well as one of the two abilities of army advantage or blood oath invigoration. Most of these people appear among the hobgoblins and giants.
Those ordinary hobgoblins that have improved greatly have gained a large size template due to their sudden increase in height, and more or less gained a little extra attribute point improvement. This has caused the number of hobgoblin giants in the Blood Claw Legion to rise sharply, directly exceeding five Hundred.
There are also some hobgoblins, although their size has not increased dramatically, but they have obtained the ability of enlargement as a spell-like ability, and can use it one to three times a day. This situation is the most common, accounting for more than half of the ordinary hobgoblins in the entire Bloodsworn Army.
Although the Giant Transformation spell is one of the most common spells on the battlefield, the possession rate among the Bloodsworn Army is too high, and the momentum generated will be extremely amazing.
The average height of the hobgoblins is more than 1.9 meters, which is already higher than most intelligent life forms. Once they become huge, they will reach more than 3.5 meters. When such an army rushes in groups, the momentum alone can Most of the troops were frightened.
A new question arises from this. Hobgoblins with this ability must wear magic armor or not wear armor in order to use this ability. There is no way for ordinary armor to grow in size with this ability.
The blood-colored light beam that fell on the podium was not one, but two. The other one was the same as the one on the blood claw.
This one didn't fall on Gavin, but on the Dragon Oak Bloodclaw flag above Bloodclaw's head.
When the blood-colored light beam was completely absorbed, the Dragon Oak Blood Claw flag was split into two. One remained on top of the Blood Claw's head, while the other was transferred to Gavin's head.
Just as Gavin expected, this kind of flag, which can gather a lot of faith, is the easiest to transform into a magic item on its own.
So, not only did they start by researching their own flag, but they also used extraordinary materials.
The one given to Bloodclaw is no exception. It uses the latest products and techniques from their territory. The front is still made of dazzling spun cloth, but the inside is made of shadow spinning produced in the ghost textile factory. The pattern on it is , is no longer painted, but is embroidered using a brand-new embroidery process, using hatching lines bit by bit, layer by layer.
This not only makes it more layered, but once it is made, it is a magic item. The previous enlarged projection is its innate ability. The user can turn it on or suppress it according to his own will without spending any magic. energy.
Now it has opened up two more special abilities.
Blood Oath Summoning (Special Ability) - You can use this battle flag to issue a summons to the troops you have sworn allegiance to. No matter where those soldiers are, they will respond to this summons. This is the main and secondary flags. The main flag issues the summons. The flag holder will be telepathic, and he can ask the designated army to respond. If there is no response within ten minutes, a random summon will be launched in the Blood Oath Army. If it is extraordinary or above, the number of summons will be the charm adjustment value/ten people. Below Extraordinary, summon number charm adjustment value/100 people, can be summoned once a day, lasting eight hours. This ability can only be used when held in the hands of Gavin Nott, the object of blood oath of allegiance.
Inspire military morale (Special Ability) - Any goblin creature that can see the military flag will have a +1 morale boost on the friendly side, and a +1 boost on all attack rolls and damage rolls. Enemy goblin creatures will appear. The opposite effect is that if the morale of the goblin enemies is too low, there may be large-scale surrenders or defections and join your camp.
The first ability is only available to the main flag in Gavin's hand, while the second ability is available to both flags.
Needless to say, the value it demonstrates is that it allows Gavin to carry an army of hobgoblins with him. When he wants to use it, he can summon it on the spot without having to bear the burden of logistical supplies.
Most importantly, it provides new tactical ideas.
Gavin can completely infiltrate secretly, enter the core of the enemy and launch a summons to create an internal flowering. This is a standard teleportation tactical idea, and they can apply it in advance.
Moreover, his territory is already scattered, and even using teleportation spells, it is very troublesome to mobilize troops frequently.
With this flag, a lot of trouble will be saved.
Even the summoning method was clearly arranged.
It is possible to summon a small number of extraordinary battle groups. With Gavin's full firepower and the charm accumulated to more than thirty, it is no problem to summon hundreds of hobgoblin giants at once.
You can also summon a thousand ordinary hobgoblin warriors. Don't think that they are worthless. In low-end battle situations, especially when defeating and chasing enemies, quantity is more useful than quality. After all, the pursuit range is wider.
Compared to the hobgoblin infantry, Gavin prefers the hobgoblin wolf cavalry, but I don’t know whether they count as one person or two? There is still no way to summon the wolf mount directly. This needs subsequent verification.
The summoning delay problem mentioned above can also be easily solved.
Directly ask Bloodclaw to organize a flag-protecting army to guard the Dragon Oak Bloodclaw flag and sub-flag, waiting for his call at any time.
If there is time to communicate, further detailed arrangements can be made, which is nothing more than two teleportation spells.
The ability to boost military morale should not be underestimated. Even though it is only +1, the number involved is large enough. Combined with the projection ability of the Dragon Oak Blood Claw Flag, it is enough for all creatures on the battlefield to see its existence.
This ability will make some attacks that cannot hit hit and increase the damage of the attack.
What is the concept when thousands of arrows and slashes all receive an extra +1 boost?
This effect reaches its extreme when dealing with goblins. This is a positive and negative effect.
Especially for those goblin fools, it is impossible to challenge the hobgoblin beyond their level, but among similar goblins, they are definitely invincible and powerful beings, which will greatly enhance their self-confidence.
Most of the time, the hobgoblins don't need to take action at all. These little fools can kill most of the enemies, and the more they fight, the more they fight. This battle flag is blessed by the god of their race. It is estimated that they will be killed if they see it many times. Just worship.
All in all, the value of this flag is closely related to the development of the Blood Claw Legion and Blood Gorge City.
After all, hundreds of level 10 extraordinary people and level 19 extraordinary people are not the same concept at all.
If the Blood Claw Legion is destroyed and all Blood Pact soldiers die in battle, this ability will be completely useless.
This can be regarded as a deeper bond between the two, allowing Gavin to pay more attention to them.
Even those immigrants who had seen big scenes were shocked by the situation before them. When the true God's will came, they were so overwhelmed that they didn't dare to say a word. When the contract was completed, The will of the true god faded away, and he could no longer hold back the shock in his heart, so he started whispering to his companions around him.
"The will of the true god, the will of a true god has just arrived. It is Magrubit, the racial god of the goblins."
"They just swore the Blood Oath of the True God under the witness of the God of their own race. In this way, the Baron has 100% control over them. No wonder the Baron is willing to build a city for them and hand over this place to them with confidence. They took care of it, and it turned out that they were prepared for this."
"Don't you know that these hobgoblins, many of whom were originally members of the Baron's Blood Oath Army, are now just leading the new ones to renew their original oaths."
"So that's it. The Baron's methods are indeed beyond our imagination. Many people used to be full of criticism about him helping a group of hobgoblins build a city, but now they are directly slapped in the face."
"In any case, this is not only a good thing for us, but also a good thing for Darauma. There will be a strong army that can go south to support them at any time."
"I heard that the Baron was planning to leave some people to assist these hobgoblins in building the city. I was a little worried at first. Without the army to protect them, these hobgoblins would become violent again. Now I no longer have such worries. What remains, You can consider it, after all, it is relatively close to Darauma, and the migration route is so easy, it will be convenient to go back to visit relatives in the future."
"You are a bit short-sighted when you say that. The Baron has built a great goblin city in such a short time and made it so extraordinary. What kind of surprises has he prepared for us in the valley? You don't want to take a look. ?”
"Yes, I will only be able to take such a trip once in my life. No matter what, I will complete the journey with the army, see all the scenery along the way, experience all the extraordinary things, and create my own miracle. When I grow old one day, I will have more stories to brag about to my children.”
"It makes sense. Now that we have started, we will go all the way to the end."
Witnessing the blood oath of the true god with their own eyes gave these immigrants a further sense of identification with these hobgoblins. They could not believe in the character of these hobgoblins, but they could believe in the binding force of a true god on them.
Some people are no longer so resistant to staying in Blood Gorge City.
However, there were not many people who needed to stay behind. There were only a thousand or eight hundred people left to assist the hobgoblins with some tasks that they were not good at and not suitable for. Most people still packed their bags and continued their migration. road.
After embarking on the migration road again, the entire migrating army seemed to have undergone a qualitative transformation. Both the equipment and spirit had changed greatly from before.
Let’s talk about equipment changes first.
The animals that pull the carts have all been replaced by giant animals that are a specialty of the Giant Plains. They have super large bodies, and instead of one carrying two, one can carry three.
The side carriage no longer needs two horses, a huge wild horse is enough. As for the domestication problem, they are not using ordinary grooms, but Pik Druids, who have the ability to communicate with wild beasts and The ability to tame these giant animals is indeed more difficult to tame than ordinary beasts, but it is still not difficult for them.
The floor-type van still uses two horses, but the tree people who are the main force are replaced. As the assistants of the team, several people with physical advantages are transferred to the road construction team to assist in road construction and speed up the road construction.
As for the Enlightenment Trees, they all stayed in Blood Gorge City, assisting Blood Claw in the final construction work in the early stage, and will later be transferred to Dwarf Statue City to assist in mining.
The migrating army replenished a total of 3,000 gigantic animals from Blood Gorge City, half of which were wild horses and bison, replacing 3,000 ordinary animals for the migrating army. This gave them a huge surplus of horse power. The upper limit of their daily travel speed has been raised, and the old, weak, women and children who originally lowered the limit can use more horsepower.
The significance of these three thousand huge livestock goes far beyond that.
Many of them are female animals with cubs. Those cubs were left in Blood Gorge City, but the female animals can still produce milk. Although they are not as good as those specially trained and domesticated cows, their size is there, as long as they feed With a reasonable combination, the daily milk production is quite amazing.
This further supplements the food source and nutritional structure of the migrating army. After arriving in the valley, they can directly rely on them to establish milk-producing pastures.
Even with these nearly 20,000 Tethyr immigrants, the Land of Three Rivers is still vast and sparsely populated. Most of it is fertile wasteland, and there is plenty of room to establish pastures.
This will also be a huge profit point for Blood Gorge City in the future, not selling milk, but selling huge milk-producing cows. Later, Gavin will send special druids to assist them in magic breeding and breed improvement. .
The most eye-catching thing is the huge cavalry. Wherever they pass, the morale of the migrating immigrants will be high, and they will greet them one after another.
These giant cavalry are divided into two battle groups.
One is naturally the Goliath battle group. Gavin equipped each of them with two giant war horses, which greatly improved their mobility.
Due to their own capabilities and characteristics, they are destined to be mounted infantry. They use the mobility of their horses to quickly enter the battlefield and then dismount to fight on foot.
For someone like Carissa, once her feet leave the ground, her strength will be greatly reduced.
The other warband is a hundred hobgoblin giants prepared by Bloodclaw for Gavin as his personal bodyguards.
One thing that unites these hobgoblin giants is that they all have eight or nine Hit Dice.
In the future, if Gavin does not have a more suitable target to apply his promotion grace to avoid waste, he will use it directly on them.
In addition, the Blood Claw Legion also separated a group of 500 hobgoblin wolf cavalry, who will follow the migrating army north.
These six hundred hobgoblins are just one seed.
As long as there is a suitable place and opportunity, they can become the second Blood Claw Legion and pull up a hobgoblin army. There are many places like this on the continent of Faerûn.
Not to mention the distance, the goblin wilderness they were going to pass next had a very similar geographical location to the Giant Plains. It was located between the Sunset Mountains and the Stormhorn Mountains. As you can tell from its name, this was also a world of goblin creatures. There were only two of them. There are the most species of creatures - goblins and gnolls.
The speed of the migrating army that set off again reached a new height, averaging one hundred kilometers per day. It would take them five days to cross the entire Giant Plains.
What was originally the most dangerous road has become the best area to walk because of Gavin's plan.
They now have a bad reputation. The monster tribes on the Giant Plains did not attack them. When they heard the news that the migrating army was coming, they ran faster than rabbits one by one and disappeared directly into the deepest part of the Giant Plains.
This isn't even the smartest thing to do.
Really smart people bring a large amount of tributes, waiting for the arrival of the migrating army, and offer tributes to them. Firstly, they hope that they will not disturb their tribe again, and secondly, they hope to take this opportunity to meet the legend. Lord Baron, if they can obtain his promise, they can use this as a command arrow in the future to fight against the oppression from Blood Gorge City and the Blood Claw Legion.
But unfortunately, no monster tribe in the entire Giant Plains received this honor. The one who received them was a young Ilmat female priest, who was gentle and kind. She even sold them a large number of healing potions regardless of race. , but the ultimate goal was not achieved, so we can only look for opportunities in the future.
In fact, Gavin, the head coach of the migrating army, was not here at all during the past five days, but was in the village of Anfeil, thousands of miles away.
Because the January period has arrived, the legendary arcanist Filancini has been able to enter the material plane in a physical body again.
Gavin must race against time to spend his energy on her these days.
When he secretly arrived at the Stone Pony Hotel, the entire Amphier Village had fallen into a deep sleep, including the hotel that had been completely restored. Only Goss, who knew Gavin was coming in advance, personally guarded the door. He looked less like a hotel manager and more like a thief in the dark.
