The huge war between the three dark forces in the Goblin Borderlands ended in one being forced to surrender, one having his entire army wiped out, and the other losing all his troops. He could only retreat into the swamps of the distant sea, and was no longer able to invade outside in a short period of time. Within a few years of the goblin frontier, no force could pose a threat to the conqueror's army. With the interlocking layout and strong aggression and expansion they showed, how could they let go of such an excellent opportunity?
They will definitely try their best to expand their results and spread their influence. This can be seen from their announcement to establish a city of faith here.
The fiery future here can be imagined by the Crown Princess.
This place is not only the center of the Goblin Frontier, it can also connect the wasteland trails and high roads, which gives those merchants more choices. Soon, this place will be the most important transit city in the Goblin Frontier. .
Don’t forget, this is also a city of faith. It has the Bridge of Faith where the God of Travel and Exploration appeared and ascended, and it is also the place where the Goddess of Strategy ascended to God.
The believers of the two gods will definitely travel thousands of miles to come for pilgrimage, especially the believers of Shanda Keer. They themselves are on various journeys, and most of them are businessmen, who will bring countless goods, it is not impossible to turn this place into a trading city.
"Isn't this necklace made of regenerated gems from the Troll Mountains? Such a large regenerated gem has never been seen on the market. Ten points of regeneration? Isn't it comparable to the trolls? Regeneration three times a day? Heal three times a day? Group cure fatal wounds three times a day?
Resistance to death? Can help fend off a fatal attack per day? Hiss, this is definitely the top magic necklace, each one costs at least 300,000 gold coins. "Compared to the complicated Crown Princess, Yalusel was much less heartless. She opened Gavin's gift with great interest in front of everyone, and she suddenly couldn't restrain her exclamation.
After hearing her exclamation, she didn't pay much attention to the thank you gift. The Crown Princess who put it away was suddenly startled. She couldn't help but take out the exquisite jewelry box and opened it. There was a pair of The beautiful mithril necklace, you can tell at a glance that it is made by the top dwarf jeweler. Those ant-sized mithril rings are densely carved with magic runes that are difficult to see with the naked eye, but these are all Auxiliary, the most important thing is the aqua gemstone that has been carefully carved and embedded in the mithril ring. It is crystal clear and has no impurities at first glance. However, if you look more closely, there seem to be countless mysterious magic symbols inside. The text is looming, making people reluctant to take their eyes away.
However, compared to its outstanding appearance, the most powerful thing is its attributes. The string in my hand is exactly the same as what Yalusel said. I believe that the one in Karadenai's hand is definitely not the same. A second possibility will arise.
Taking out three magic items printed in one mold at once shows that the other party has the ability to make such magic items.
"General, it is too precious to use this as a thank you gift, and there are three of them." Even the Crown Princess, who has been used to seeing good things since she was a child, cannot completely ignore this extremely practical magic item and equip it. It's like having several extra lives. Even if his head is blown to pieces, he won't die immediately.
"Just consider this as a symbol of our friendship." Gavin said with a smile.
When they reach the status of the Crown Princess, ordinary gifts have no way to impress them. If you want to impress them, you have to come up with something unique.
These necklaces are regeneration necklaces made with the Rebirth Moon. The dwarves’ unconventional temperaments and changeable thinking always give people a feeling of unreliability, but their craftsmanship is definitely worthy of trust. Quesel Village The dwarfs do have their own uniqueness in terms of troll gems. The potential of the troll gems through their hands has been fully tapped, especially the Reborn Moon. The series of abilities it carries are enough to make a warrior A part-time extraordinary healing priest, he is definitely a life-saving weapon on the battlefield.
"Since it is a symbol of friendship, I won't be polite. Coming and going without coming is not the way to treat guests." Princess Crown turned over her hands and took out two fist-sized rocks with strange shapes from her space bag and handed them to Guy. Wen Dao said, "This is our return gift."
The Crown Princess deeply understands the principle of reciprocity. She gave out a gift of nearly one million yuan. This was the other party's initiative to show goodwill. She could not just accept it with peace of mind. She had to respond accordingly to show her side. Attitude makes the difference.
"Strange rock?" Gavin said in surprise, "This is exactly what I need, so I'm welcome."
How could the Crown Princess have two ordinary stones stuffed into her space bag?
This is a unique magical object. It looks like an ordinary stone, but once it is placed on a flat surface and activated, it will emit light and make gentle noises, and it will be in sync with each other. Covering all land within a ten-kilometer radius (including air and underground) will block all the following effects.
1. Travel to all the Astral Planes, Ethereal Planes, Feywild and Shadow Planes.
2. All prophecy-based detection magic.
3. All teleportation spells.
4. Any spell-like, supernatural ability, special ability and psychic ability that can create similar effects as the above three.
5. All the above characteristics are only applicable to the area covered by strange rocks. If you use prophecy detection magic in the area covered by strange rocks to detect creatures outside the area covered by strange rocks, you will not be affected in any way, but you cannot use teleportation to move outward. Teleport.
Briefly described, this is a mobile fog barrier core with forbidden teleportation and spell detection.
This kind of magic item can only be made by legendary casters above level 20. The market transaction price starts at 250,000, but the possibility of buying it directly on the market is almost zero, because this thing has a very expensive strategic value.
When the army is camping, raising this thing will effectively prevent the enemy from detecting them and prevent teleportation sneak attacks.
When two armies are facing each other and your side decides not to use teleportation spells, you can also raise the strange rocks to disable all teleportation skills from taking effect, regardless of the enemy or our side.
In fact, this thing has great restraint on the conqueror army. If there was a strange stone in the previous monster army, the time of this war will be greatly prolonged, and the casualties of the conqueror army will be greatly increased, because Whether it's Gavin and Catherine's chosen ability to form troops, or the holy strategist's knight moves, they all belong to teleportation abilities, even Gavin's fairy steps belong to it.
Fortunately, they didn't know what the Conqueror's army's trump card was, so they didn't make special preparations in this regard.
But from now on, they must be prepared in this regard. After all, the pressure brought by the predator Garagos is really not small, and all their methods have been forced out. I believe it will not be long before everyone around the world Everyone knows that when they confront the two armies again, they will definitely prepare such restraint measures.
As the supreme commander of the Purple Dragon Legion here, Crown Princess will of course carry this strategic battlefield equipment with her. Just as she masters the method of making the regeneration necklace, the Kingdom of Cormyr also masters the method of making strange stones. It may have been made by the Palace Archmage, and is a relatively conventional strategic battlefield equipment for the Purple Dragon Legion.
Of these two strange stones, one will be temporarily placed on the Bridge of Humans and Gods, and the other is prepared to be carried by Gavin for emergencies. Although the conqueror's army now has a relatively powerful teleportation attack, it must be prevented from happening in the future. When encountering opponents with stronger abilities in this area, it might be a tactic to disable both parties' teleportation abilities.
"As long as they are useful to the general." The Crown Princess certainly knew the significance of this thing to the conqueror's army. Although there was no way to completely offset the value of the three regeneration necklaces, it was almost the same. After all, the other party only gave personal magic items, and What I took action on my side was strategic magic items. "Next, I will return to Susar immediately, but Yalusel will lead this purple dragon army to act with you and return together through the high road in the rocky land." Cormier, the general won’t have any objections, right?”
"It's my honor." Gavin was not surprised by Crown Princess's decision. On the contrary, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He should really be worried if she withdraws the purple dragon army. They are worried that the Kingdom of Cormyr is afraid of the strength of the conqueror's army and is unwilling to let them borrow a road through the rocky land. At present, it seems that this matter has been half successful. At least the Crown Princess has been inclined to lend them a road. This purple dragon army is to stay. Come down and continue to monitor their actions.
"Yaruseel, from now on, you are the supreme commander of this Purple Dragon Legion. As an affiliated legion of the Conqueror's Army, you will act with them. Everything must obey General Gavin's dispatch." The Crown Princess's order was clean. Swiftly, they directly merged the Purple Dragon Army with the Conqueror's army. Even if they were given a hundred courages, they would not dare to trick the soldiers of the Kingdom of Cormyr, especially if they wanted to borrow a road from the rocky land.
Moreover, the army of conquerors was completely victorious this time, and there were no surrounding forces that could pose a threat to them.
"Yes." Yalusel accepted the order enthusiastically, without showing much resistance.
She just acted careless and heartless, and she was not really big-hearted or brainless. After all, she was able to stand up and turn the tide when the entire Kingdom of Cormyr was in unprecedented collapse, and maintain the unity of the entire Kingdom. The regent princess received the most orthodox and complete royal education from Obaisqil since she was a child.
Just because of their different positioning, the education they received is different from that of the Crown Princess. This can be seen from their careers.
As the crown prince, the crown princess is far more important internally than externally. Therefore, she has been educated as a battle mage since she was a child, and uses magic to assist her governance. Although the Kingdom of Cormyr supports a large number of battle mages and even has a palace chief. Although he is a mage, some things are more convenient if he has the ability to cast spells.
Yalusel was trained as a marshal general who guarded one side. She received the most orthodox and strict Purple Dragon Knight education and had the concept of loyalty to the king and country. This prepared her for the future when she took control of the entire Kingdom of Cormyr. But he did not usurp the throne and laid a solid foundation.
As for the importance of Gavin and the army of conquerors led by him to the Kingdom of Cormyr, Yalusel is far from having a clear concept like the Crown Princess. She is not the Iron Regent Princess in the future, and she will not consider such far-reaching considerations. Things that she saw as an army general.
This time she was sent to the army of conquerors. She was more excited about escaping from the luxurious prison of the Purple Dragon Palace. She didn't have much respect for Catherine and her divine counselor.
Even if the army of conquerors saw many unique things, they were only shown on the surface and did not produce a soul-shaking feeling. After all, the Kingdom of Cormyr has one of the best knight legions in the continent, and randomly pulling out a knight among them By reputation, he could serve as a low-level officer on the conqueror's army.
If we talk about Ivanso's siege, it opened Yalusel's eyes and gave him the feeling that the battle could still be fought like this.
Then, the feelings generated by the battle in the Goblin Borderlands directly shocked the depths of the soul, and I no longer dared to have the arrogant thought of giving me five thousand purple dragon legions, and I could break them to pieces.
It turns out that war is not just about knights charging. If you can make full use of tactics and find a way to defeat the enemy, you can defeat the strong with the weak.
I just took this opportunity to learn from the voters of these strategic ladies.
The Crown Princess nodded towards Gavin, showed a meaningful smile and said: "I am waiting for the general's arrival in Susar. I hope the general will not keep us waiting for too long."
This is considered a more formal invitation.
"After I finish the finishing work here, I will leave immediately." Gavin knew that Susar, Kingdom of Cormyr, had to go.
But how to go and in what capacity is another knowledge, and you must plan well.
"Then we'll see you in Susar." The Crown Princess acted resolutely and directly activated the teleportation spell, returning directly to the Kingdom of Cormyr in Susar, and reported everything she had done in just a few days to the old dragon entrenched in the Purple Dragon Palace. See and hear.
Compared with the huge size of the Kingdom of Cormyr, the army of conquerors is indeed a bit underwhelming.
But everything has two sides. Their huge size means that they operate relatively slowly, the borders that need to be defended are longer, the enemies that need to be dealt with are more diverse and complex, and there are too many eyes staring at them. The hair moves the whole body.
If they mobilize more than five thousand troops, many local forces will feel uneasy.
Their mobilization of more than 10,000 troops, such as the Kingdom of Sambia, the valleys of the Vale, the Zhentarim in the Moonsea region, the cities on the Dragon Coast, etc., will all pay great attention to it.
Once they mobilize more than 50,000 troops, I'm afraid all the forces will unite to put pressure on them.
This is the deterrence brought by large size. No matter how big the situation is stirred up by the conqueror army, plundering a few cities is their limit. Even if they have the ability to defeat them, they will not be able to hold on and will leave sooner or later. .
Therefore, there was a scene where the cities on the Dragon Coast spent money to eliminate disasters and invite the conqueror army out of the Dragon Coast.
But the Kingdom of Cormyr is different. They have the support of a huge country behind them. Once it is eaten by them, it will be extremely difficult for them to spit it out.
Take the battle in the Goblin Borderlands as an example. If it were replaced by the army of the Kingdom of Cormyr, it would definitely be a different situation.
The greatest possibility is that there will be no fight at all.
Whether it is the Lizard Court in the Thun Swamp or the Hag Assembly in the Distant Sea Swamp, they will huddle their troops in the swamp, use their geographical advantages to fight defensive counterattacks, and wipe out the army of the Kingdom of Cormyr in the swamp.
Even the Dark Castle will not organize an army of monsters. Instead, it will encourage those monster forces to make small moves behind the scenes to harass the armies of the Kingdom of Cormyr from all directions, making it impossible for them to take root here.
The reason why they chose to walk out of the swamp and gather an army this time was not simply because the wealth carried by the conquerors' army was attractive, but also because they believed that they had the ability to eat the conquerors' army. At worst, they could safely retreat to their territory. Make sure you don't suffer too much loss.
If they were facing the army of the Kingdom of Cormyr, even if they chose to send troops, they would not engage in intrigues like before, but would give up everything and unite to fight sincerely.
What really brought devastating disaster to the goblin frontier forces was not the conqueror's army, but their miscalculation of the situation.
The current situation has been opened up by the army of conquerors. How to seek greater benefits from it and the attitude towards the army of conquerors is very critical.
After the Crown Princess left, Gavin returned with Yalusel and put them into Catherine's hands again. The Crown Princess said that they and the Purple Dragon Army would be handed over to him for deployment. It was impossible for Gavin to actually arrange it. No matter what they do, it is more appropriate to leave it to Ms. Strategy’s first choice.
Catherine pointed at the Yin Red Raiders not far away who had been divided into three corps by the holy strategists and said: "Choose one. Each corps consists of one hundred and ten people. The composition structure is basically similar. The extraordinary ones account for three One of them, the remaining two-thirds are eight or nine life dice, and the other two, I will take one back to the Strategic Battle Fortress, and the other will be sent to Ms. Zalanda."
She has received the oracle from Ms. Strategist. These crimson plunderers must be divided evenly between the names of her three elects. After all, they are symbols of planned plunder and destruction of the priesthood. If they belong to different places, it will be more conducive to the priesthood. expansion, Gavin’s previous deal with Ms. Strategy was somewhat redundant.
Gavin didn't have much regret. Their harvest this time was already big enough, not short of the thousands of souls.
