There is indeed a Red Valley reclamation area to the south of the rocky land, but it has not yet fallen under Gavin's control. Even if it does, it is not the best choice, because it belongs to the Kingdom of Cormyr, even if it is canonized to him. That also requires paying taxes to the kingdom, and the goblin borderlands are their own pioneers, but they have no obligation to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Cormyr.
The third strategic goal is the Dragon Coast, which is not close to the Dragon Coast, but not far away. With the subsequent reconstruction of the road, it will be possible to reach Bosku City within two days.
At that time, it will not be Bosku blocking their way south, but it will be sandwiched between the Bridge of Humans and Gods and Ivanso City. As long as the ruler of Bosku City is not stupid, he will slowly turn away from the Dragon Coast. Other cities in the city will join Gavin's team. After all, it is impossible for the coalition forces on the Dragon Coast to be permanently stationed in Boscu City.
The entire road of conquerors will be completely connected. Gavin's influence will continue to spread to the surrounding areas through this road, and his influence and control will even be on a country. The potential of this road will be tapped. Extreme.
At this moment, the faith of Ms. Strategist has reached an extreme in the army of conquerors, and Gavin, who is both a voter and the supreme commander, has naturally reached the highest level of reputation that a mortal can achieve. At least he followed him all the way from Darao. The immigrants from Tethyr who Ma came over had a degree of faith. The immigrants from the Dragon Coast were a little less so, but they also had a degree of respect. This magical effect that did not require the path of destiny at all, Gavin directly used his own Created by hands.
What is the concept of degree of faith?
His orders will be carried out unconditionally and without thinking. Even if Gavin asks them to jump off the Bridge of Humans and Gods, they will not hesitate at all, because they firmly believe that Gavin will be successful if he does this. Your own reasons, even if it means death.
If Gavin were a god, they would be his first fanatic followers.
Now Gavin just asked them to pray to Ms. Strategy, who had not completely left. There was no possibility of any hesitation. Under the leadership of those exclusive priests of Ms. Strategy, everyone began to recite the three core teachings of Ms. Strategy's ascension to the gods.
The first pass was a little uneven, but by the second and third pass, 30,000 to 40,000 voices converged into one sound that shook the world.
A force that seemed to be substantial gathered in the sky directly above the Bridge of Humans and Gods. However, it did not go to Ms. Strategist. Instead, it was attracted by Gavin and the strategic plunderers in his hands, gathered around him, and then relied on the voters. Ability was continuously injected into the land designated by Gavin.
What are voters? What is voter ability?
He is the human spokesperson chosen by the gods to gather believers and exercise some human rights on his behalf.
The electorate ability is a weakened version of the divine ability. It is of course not rootless duckweed, but is supplied by the divine power of the gods. Therefore, even if the gods have the ability to create a large number of electors, they will not do so, because this will Take up a lot of their divine power.
The divine power of the gods comes from the faith of those believers. In the final analysis, the power of the elect is actually provided by faith.
Gavin's current situation is that he directly skipped the goddess of strategy and absorbed faith from the essence. Typically, there is no middleman and no price difference.
It sounds very good, but it is extremely difficult to do it.
Unless those who pray regard you as a god and serve you on par with that god, and you can also have the ability to store faith.
Gavin satisfies these two points. He himself does not have the ability to store faith, but War Reaver does. It contains not only the spark of divinity, but also the plan Ms. Strategy just injected to plunder divinity. The soul can be absorbed, let alone Believe.
Faced with this situation, Ms. Strategy and her Kingdom, who were about to disappear, were obviously stunned, and their eyes almost popped out.
There are no middlemen or price differences here in Gavin, so where can she put this godly figure?
For the gods, this is one of the most serious crimes - theft of faith.
Faced with this situation, the first thing the gods did was to send down divine punishment and chop the girl in half first.
If it is done secretly and behind the scenes, this is called stealing faith. But if it is done in front of the Lord, who is suffering, is this still called stealing?
Moreover, I am too unique as a voter. I have visited all of Faerûn several times, but I am afraid that no one has negotiated deals with my voters except myself.
The problem is that her reliance on this electorate is far greater than this electorate's reliance on herself. Ms. Strategist, who is proficient in strategy, knows very well that she won the divine battle with the predator Garagos by relying on more than just One's own strength is closely related to the conqueror's army's perfect war preparations.
If the army of conquerors, led by Gavin, had not stood firm on his side, and if the situation had been reversed, Garagos the Predator had gained the support of the army of conquerors and led the army of monsters, he would have been proficient in strategy. , No matter how proficient in planning, no matter how good tactics are, they will only end in failure. Instead, the plunderers will take the opportunity to seize part of the strategy and planning priesthood.
God and the priesthood they possess are just more professional and deeper representatives in this regard. Not believing in her does not mean that there is no plan, no strategy, and no tactics at all. It is nothing more than a matter of compatibility.
As long as the number of mortals is large enough and gathered enough, they can in turn affect the gods and his priesthood. She can seize part of the plunder and destruction, and give birth to plans to plunder and destroy the priesthood. The plunderers can also in turn seize part of the plans and strategies. Born out, everything is relative.
The most important thing is that as one of the keys to stealing his own faith, War Reaver took the initiative to help transform it and gave it to Gavin in public. It seemed that he had unknowingly acquiesced in this matter.
As the guardian of plans and strategies, the Red Knight's brain was somewhat shut down, and he was quickly calculating the pros and cons of this matter.
This thing should not happen to all his followers. It is currently limited to the army of conquerors, and will also be limited to Gavin's territory in the future. After all, this requires the highest trust in him for this situation to occur.
Moreover, it has a limited scope and must be within the coverage radius of the War Raider. After all, Gavin himself does not have the ability to store and absorb faith. The main cause is the divine spark in the War Raider and the planned divinity injected by himself.
This is the price you have to pay if you want to quickly gather your soul through Gavin. Where is the best of both worlds in this world?
While you are robbing others, you will become the target of others' robbing if you are not careful.
After many calculations, the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, and it seemed that I could only hold my nose and endure it.
It seems that his new chosen one is a double-edged sword. If he uses it well, it can put him on the fast track to continue to ascend to the gods. If he doesn't use it well, he may be replaced by himself. He must devote more energy to keeping an eye on him in the future. He just made it.
After leaving a warning to Gavin to "use this trick with caution", Ms. Strategy completely disappeared without a trace. This was regarded as acquiescence to Gavin's direct stealing of part of his beliefs, and she regarded it as the person she promoted this time. Not a chosen one, but a godly one, whose contribution to him would be worthy of it anyway.
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became much clearer.
This may not be a kind of temptation for Gavin. With this tactic, use it with caution, he has completely figured out the bottom line of Ms. Strategy's tolerance for him. He can do some things freely in the future, because besides betraying her, There is no greater crime than declaring war on her and trying to seize her godhood.
The magic field created by the ability of good weather is to use the power of faith to bless and strengthen this land to form a land of faith, which is essentially the same as the Bridge of Humans and Gods.
It's just that the faith of a single person is too weak, and they are not qualified to use the power of faith. They must use the gods to gather the faith of countless people together in order to produce various magical effects.
What is created by good weather is more appropriate to be called a place of faith and a manor of faith than a magic field or a magic manor.
With the continuous infusion of the power of faith, it is difficult to directly see the changes in the land Gavin selected from the outside, but even ordinary people who are not sensitive to magic can clearly sense the changes. This land becomes unique, especially the army of conquerors. They can clearly feel their close connection with that land, just like the bridge between humans and gods under their feet. They feel friendly when they see them, just like Like their homeland after a long absence, they have no doubt that this land will provide them with protection and sustenance.
The addition of a large amount of faith only accelerated the process of this matter, but did not provide additional bonuses for this ability and open up more magical lands. After all, this was just the power I borrowed from Ms. Strategy, and I was not yet a true god. slander.
After the transformation of the magic land was completed, Gavin loudly said again: "Now I declare that this bridge is named the Bridge of Faith, the Bridge of Faith in Sandakol, this city is the City of Faith, and this manor is the Manor of Faith. , the City of Faith and the Manor of Faith of the Red Knight, we will once again take a half-month break. We will use half a month to open up the Manor of Faith and replant winter wheat to establish the basic outline of the City of Faith. We will continue to create our own miracles with our hands. Everyone will rest on the spot and start building the city tomorrow."
"The Bridge of Faith! The Bridge of Faith! The Bridge of Faith!"
"City of Faith! City of Faith! City of Faith!"
"Faith Manor! Faith Manor! Faith Manor!"
The fervent shouts resounded through the sky again, and Gavin suddenly realized that he had the talent of being chosen by God, and he could easily arouse their emotions.
After doing this, Gavin didn't stop for a moment and went straight to the sky directly above the east entrance of the Bridge of Faith. There were also several outsiders who witnessed the entire battle from beginning to end. They seemed to have no involvement in the battle at all, but And inseparable from them.
If Tynarasta, the crown princess of the Kingdom of Cormyr, had not assisted in holding down Mamon, the chairman of the Dark Castle, although the Conqueror army had prepared other back-ups (Catherine had been secretly at that time and did not take action, in order to prevent unexpected situations) ), but I have to admit this sentiment, especially if you have to deal with them for a long time in the future.
The most important thing for people is to be self-aware.
The army of conquerors is indeed very powerful now. It has shaken the situation in many places along the way, including the Dragon Coast, which has dozens of small and medium-sized cities and five or six large cities. They have stirred up chaos from top to bottom.
But that all took advantage of their internal weakness and lack of unity. The Kingdom of Cormyr was different.
They have been a country for thousands of years. Although there have been several ups and downs in the process, the country has never been truly shaken. The current king Assan IV is also called the Lord of the Renaissance. The Kingdom of Cormyr has been in his hands for thirty years. Although there is no large-scale expansion of territory, internal governance can be said to be unprecedentedly fair and open.
He vigorously rectified corruption and the increasingly serious problem of noble land annexation, reaffirmed the foundation of the Kingdom of Cormyr, made the Purple Dragon Legion and War Mage more systematic and standardized, and vigorously enabled bankrupt nobles and small and medium-sized knight families to serve as the foundation of the Kingdom of Cormyr. The Kingdom of Mir injected more vitality, and the entire kingdom was firmly controlled from top to bottom around him and the royal family of Obaisqil.
When it comes to diplomacy, he is both hard and soft. Most of Faerûn knows that the current old dragon in the Kingdom of Cormyr prefers softness to toughness. If you fight him hard, you will eventually find that his teeth are stronger and his claws are sharper. Sharper and larger.
The only criticism is that Assan IV likes to use all kinds of spies. From nobles, war mages, to merchants and lackeys, there seem to be royal spies who are directly loyal to him. What should be known and what should not be He seemed to know everything, which made the nobles of the Kingdom of Cormyr cautious in their words and deeds, lest they accidentally say the wrong thing and spread it to the ears of Assan IV.
Although Assan IV is very generous and never cares about harmless jokes and rumors about his romantic affairs, his identity is there. When he laughs and discusses with you, you were discussing his gossip behind your back yesterday. Anyone else would tremble.
If placed in the valley, the size of the conqueror's army would already be comparable to the number of people in most valleys.
But the population of Tethyr is only half of the city, and the same is true in the Kingdom of Cormyr. They only have three metropolises with a population of more than 100,000, and countless towns, large and small.
Their Purple Dragon Legion alone is known as one hundred thousand, not to mention various local garrison, navy and so on.
Even if this is an imaginary number they boast about, but if they calculate the national border they need to defend, they definitely have fifty thousand. In order to monitor the actions of the conqueror's army, they casually mobilized a purple dragon numbering three thousand. The Legion came out, which shows their war potential.
Next, Gavin wanted to force the Kingdom of Cormyr to grant him the Baron of Rockland, but Chen Bing did not force him with force at their doorstep. Even if the size of the conqueror's army doubled, Gavin would not have the confidence to defeat Cormyr. The gate of the kingdom cuts across the country.
It would be the wisest choice to create a momentum that he could lead the army of conquerors to completely clean up the rocky land and bring huge benefits to the Kingdom of Cormyr from top to bottom to induce them to make this decision.
When Gavin flew in front of Crown Princess and the others, Dark Castle Chairman Ma Meng had already disappeared. He had already run away the second before the incarnation of Ms. Strategy came to ascend to the gods. Not only because the cunning old fox knew , their attempt to disrupt the situation completely failed this time, and it was also because he was afraid that the incarnation of Ms. Strategy would give him a knife and kill him here.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help. This kindness is engraved in our hearts from top to bottom. A small gift is not disrespectful, so please accept it with pleasure." Gavin stretched out his hand and received three palm-sized but extremely delicate gifts. The box, as if it had wings, flew directly into the hands of the three people in the Kingdom of Cormyr.
Although it was only the Crown Princess who took action, the other two would play an important role in the history of the Kingdom of Cormyr in the future. Gavin would not ignore them, and taking the opportunity to build a good relationship would definitely be a profitable deal.
"General, you are too polite. We are just doing something with a little effort, and with the general's calculations, even if I don't take action to contain the dark archmage, I believe you have prepared corresponding backup plans." Crown Princess's eyes flickered, inside There is unconcealable complexity, and in addition to indescribable emotions, there is also heartfelt appreciation.
Her eyes were opened today. It turned out that the war could still be fought like this. They had taken their plans, strategies and tactics to an extreme.
See how many strategies and tactics they used in this battle?
The first move is called Gubu Suspicion Formation, which uses the inertial thinking of road paving to lure the Lizard Queen and her lizard-man army to the direction of the distant sea swamp, changing the number of enemies he needs to face at the same time from three to two.
The second move is called surprise. It uses an unprecedented way for people to respond to gods, and it takes just a few minutes to build an unprecedented bridge of faith. When they saw this move, not to mention the monsters who were shocked, their hearts were filled with excitement. The shock was no less than theirs. If this move was used on them, they would not be on guard, because they never thought from the beginning to the end that God could be used by them and become a chess piece on their chessboard.
The third move shows the enemy's weakness and lures the Lizard Queen onto the Bridge of Faith.
The fourth move is the decapitation tactic, which uses the characteristics of the Lizard King's Court to surrender the Lizard Queen and use her power for his own use, changing the entire war situation.
The first four moves are still in the mundane category to some extent, but the nature of the latter ones has completely changed.
The fifth move is the god-ascension tactic. They made full use of Ms. Strategy’s ascension to the gods and turned it into a part of their war, because they knew that the enemies of the goddess of strategy would take advantage of her ascension to the gods. No matter which evil god takes action, the monster forces on the other side of the Conqueror's Army are the only ones they can use. They must start this divine war at a disadvantage. The Predator Garagos just falls into this huge chessboard. Target, failure is doomed.
The sixth move is defensive counterattack.
The seventh move is the pocket formation technique.
The eighth move is to roll the bead curtain backwards.
The ninth move, God uses human power, the decisive move of Ms. Strategist did not come out of thin air, but the power of victory gathered with the help of the conqueror's army's comprehensive counterattack against the monster army. In the face of this move, The Predator Garagos became the main formation that was attacked crazily by the defeated army. He was directly restrained, and then he was killed in one fell swoop with the help of a unique treant's thunder charge ability. Isn't this a god borrowing human power?
