Not only did Gavin know everything Tynarasta said, he even knew the future trend of this war. Back then, he had a strong Tethel, and he traveled thousands of kilometers to the rocky land with the dog head. People dig mines and even go to the valley to open up new territories. Their short-term goals are all to prepare for this war.
Let's put it this way, all his preparations in the past year were to make himself qualified to join this war. However, his original goal was not to become the main force against Tukan's army, but to serve as an assistant to hold Cormier close. The thick thigh of the Kingdom, waving flags and cheering beside him, picking up mistakes and making quick money from them, became the biggest capital for his rapid rise.
Who would have thought that for the better development of the valley, he launched a thousand-mile migration in Tessel, which made him make a lot of money. Not only did he have the first pot of gold in his life, but he also had his own family. With a strong army, one's own position in this war can be adjusted appropriately.
What Gavin didn't expect was that the Kingdom of Cormyr knew so much about the situation in the endless wilderness thousands of kilometers away that Tukan's army had just embarked on the journey, and they had already reacted and started preparing for war.
According to Gavin's original estimate, the Kingdom of Cormyr had responded, so why not wait until Tukan's army could not attack Ser and turned to attack Leatherman.
Now it seems that I have once again underestimated the capabilities and sensitivity of these old kingdoms to war. Although King Asan and others do not have their own prophets, they have a huge intelligence network and their own judgment of the situation.
For any country in Faerûn, the size of Tukan's army is too large. Once they are unable to take advantage of the geographical advantages along Leatherman and Sel to keep them out, it is very likely that another world will happen. A version of the Mongol Rangers invaded Europe and wiped out half of the intelligent races on the entire continent.
As for the arrival of the gods of Faerûn, do you think the Tukan people have no gods and no totems of their own faith?
When high-level officials engage in a confrontational game, it is the war below that determines the outcome.
Just like when the strategist lady ascended to the gods, she used the situation where the conqueror's army defeated the monster army to launch a fatal blow.
In other words, the war on the ground will in turn affect the pattern of the gods.
Gavin looked as if he had heard the news for the first time and said with a surprised look on his face: "Does His Majesty want to intervene in this war? The Kingdom of Cormyr is more than two thousand kilometers away from the Kingdom of Leatherman, which is the border of Faerûn. "
The Crown Princess looked at Gavin with a half-smile and said: "The general is Ms. Strategy's elector. Can't you see the potential danger behind this matter? Whether we need to send troops for an expedition is still unknown, but we must prepare for this matter. We need to be fully prepared to prevent being caught off guard, and before we send out troops, we must first stabilize the interior. The King's Forest is one of them, and the Secret Hunting Cult is not the only one with trouble here."
Faced with Tenarasta's rhetorical question, Gavin felt that he was pretending a little too much. He smiled awkwardly and said: "The heights we stand at are different, and we naturally look at things differently. I can't reach the height of His Highness. Naturally, I can’t see that long term, what does Your Highness need me to do?”
Of course, the Crown Princess would not say so much to Gavin for no reason, she must have something to ask for.
Tynarasta gave Gavin an appreciative look and said: "These newly assembled soldiers, even if they are retrained, will not be able to compete with the real Purple Dragon Knights in a short period of time. Once they go to the battlefield, they will face endless threats." The Rangers in the wilderness will suffer heavy casualties. The floor-type chariots and side-carriage formations of your conqueror army are of great value. I hope that the general can send craftsmen to help build the floor-type chariots and side-by-side chariots. For vans, it would be best if officers could be dispatched to assist with training.”
In the City of Faith, she had seen with her own eyes the power of floor-type chariots and sidecars. In defensive battles, they had huge advantages. They were most suitable for recruits who were not well trained enough to help them get through the stage of highest mortality.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to help build floor-type chariots and sidecars." Gavin spread his hands helplessly, "The people who made these chariots are not ordinary craftsmen, but my team over there in Mill Forest. The allies of the blue tree people are formed by their innate wood-shaping and wood-bending skills.
Your Highness should know the temperament of these natural races. They are notoriously stubborn in nature. The reason why they are willing to help me is because I have done a good job in purifying and healing the forest there. I use purified dark wood. Not to mention using the wood that was cut down by humans, it would be good if they don't wave their weapons at you. "
"I see, it's no wonder that your chariot's defense capabilities are so powerful, far superior to ordinary chariots." Regarding Gavin's explanation, the Crown Princess not only did not feel it was far-fetched, but on the contrary, it was taken for granted. If a natural race does not do this, it is not worthy of becoming a natural race. Race, not to mention these natural races, many Druid organizations of unnatural races also advocate extreme protection of nature. For example, the Green Leisure Garden in the Weihong Sea is a more extreme nature protection organization. In many places There were constant conflicts with the loggers.
Tynarasta retreated and asked the next best thing: "Can the general sell us the manufacturing blueprints? We will find a way to solve the mass manufacturing issue ourselves."
The Kingdom of Cormyr also has an advantage that Gavin does not have, that is, a large number of battle mages. Wood shaping and wood bending are both second-level spells. The casting level is not high. It is just the cost ratio to have this ability. The woad tree man is taller.
"I'll compile a copy later, and it will be used as a reward for the previous information." Gavin generously waived the usage fee for the Kingdom of Cormyr. The main differences between the floor-type chariot and the side-carriage are in the production process and the level of technical content. Not high.
It is to enlarge, widen and heighten the existing heavy trucks in Faerun. It is nothing more than the adoption of new concepts such as unified size and easy disassembly and assembly. It is not difficult to imitate them. Instead of this, it is better to It would be better to sell favors directly to the Kingdom of Cormyr.
"Thank you very much." Crown Princess did not reject Gavin's kindness, "What about assisting in training?"
"This is exactly what we want. I believe Ms. Catherine is very interested in this matter." Gavin said with a smile, "I am Ms. Strategy's voter. This is an excellent opportunity to promote Ms.'s faith. I believe Your Highness will not mind. .”
"As long as those soldiers are voluntary, we don't mind which god they believe in." Tynarasta's attitude towards this matter is the same as Gavin's at the beginning, as long as the beliefs of the gods do not affect their rule. , they will not deliberately block it.
Even though Gavin is now the elector of Ms. Strategy, he has not forced all members of the Conqueror’s Army to convert to the Red Knight. He still has a relatively tolerant attitude towards the sermons of other gods. The Paladin of Tyr, the God of Justice, and the Crucifixion The priests of the god Ilmat are also an important part of the conqueror's army.
The Crown Princess took the initiative to invite Gavin to send officers to assist in the training. It was definitely not her own intention, but the instruction from King Asan. This was a further signal of goodwill to Ms. Strategy. In the Goblin Frontier, Gavin and the others had already used Actual actions have proven the value of the Strategist in an organized army.
The Kingdom of Cormyr maintains the most complete organized military among all the surrounding countries and forces, so its need in this regard is naturally the most urgent.
Especially when facing hundreds of thousands of Tukan troops, they are not qualified to compete in terms of quantity. They can only compete in quality, tactics and strategy.
"Then please trouble the general to arrange a formal meeting between me and Ms. Catherine." Crown Princess suggested.
"Okay." Gavin readily agreed. As both Ms. Strategist voters, it was indeed more appropriate for Catherine to come forward than him. After all, she had less entanglements with the Kingdom of Cormyr, while his relationship had yet to be determined.
"The general has learned about Luji Town inside and out. Have you found any new business opportunities here?" Gavin's ability to discover business opportunities left a deep impression on Tenarasta. .
"I am a voter of Ms. Strategy, not of Woking, the goddess of wealth. How can business opportunities be discovered so easily?" Gavin spread his hands with a wry smile, "The main advantage of Luji Town is the transfer function. The development of this town does not rely on itself. , but the amount of passenger flow along the commercial roads. When the passenger flow increases, the development here will naturally follow. Otherwise, no matter how many commercial buildings are built here, it will be useless, and the horse breeding in the forest will be useless. It has matured and is limited by the forest glade. The scale here cannot be easily expanded, and there is no room for me to intervene.
However, in the horse breeding industry, we do have room to learn from each other's strengths. I am also planning to open a horse farm in the Giant Plains, but the focus is on cultivating giant livestock that is a specialty there. I need your mature operation model here, and I don't think you can do anything about it. Reject the gigantic war horses from the Giant Plains, especially if you plan to build large-scale floor-type chariots and sidecars. "
"The General's proposal really makes it impossible for me to refuse." Crown Princess said enthusiastically, "The General is still humble, don't you think you have found a new point of cooperation? Ms. Fortune is missing. If she is not missing, , it would be a dereliction of duty for her not to grant you elector status. How much additional wealth and faith will the path of conqueror you pioneered bring her? How much new wealth will these new industrial models generate? "
Waking voters?
The priesthood of the goddess of wealth!
He does not mean that.
How could I have forgotten this?
Money lady Watkin is still missing. Others don't know what's going on, but he knows.
That big-breasted and brainless goddess actually believed the lie of the demon lord Graz'zt during the turbulent years, thinking that a demon could protect her safety and help her return to the Kingdom of God, so she took the initiative to run away to the bottomless abyss.
As you can imagine, she was directly imprisoned by Prince Wu An, who taught her how to be a god and let her know that demons are also full of lies and are as untrustworthy as the devils in hell. It was not until more than ten years later that she was captured by a human adventure team Delivered from the abyss.
During this period of time, the position of the God of Wealth and Trade in Faerûn was vacant.
Although Woking's best friend, Lela, the goddess of joy, claimed to help Woking keep a series of priesthoods until her return, many of Woking's followers temporarily switched to her side to gain spellcasting abilities.
But Lierla's clerical divinity determines that she is not a qualified custodian of wealth.
The joyful priesthood she advocates makes her believers prefer the concept of indulgence. There is a big banquet on the tenth day and a small banquet on the fifth day. Celebrations are held every day.
No matter which industry you are in, you need to invest a lot of energy, and money cannot be scraped from the sky. If your energy is occupied by banquets and indulgent joy, the speed of wealth accumulation will become slow.
Moreover, the organization of various banquets requires money.
As a result, those believers who switched to the Goddess of Joy found that they could not accumulate wealth as fast as those who spent money.
This caused believers of the Goddess of Wealth to be full of distrust in the care of the Goddess of Joy, and many turned to Sandakol, the God of Travel and Exploration. After all, a large part of wealth is based on trade, and there is no true God of Roads. Under such circumstances, they could only seek refuge on the trade route from the nearest god, an old man with a reputation as a helping hand.
If I want to use the path priesthood to forge my own path to godhood in the future, my compatibility with the three priesthoods of trade, money and wealth represented by Woking is not an ordinary fit.
In the future, the development of various trades, large-scale infrastructure construction, etc. are inseparable from these three major clergy.
It is enough for a god to support one. There is no need to give the remaining benefits to others, especially a goddess who has not enough brains and has been trained by a demon lord for more than ten years. She cannot mess with too much. Relationship, who knows if she has been tricked or if she has signed any agreement with the demon lord, allowing Prince Wu An to take advantage of the opportunity to get involved in the material plane.
Wealth and decadence are inseparable.
Having a lot of wealth is often the beginning of a person's downfall.
It's not that I didn't think about it before, but I just didn't dare to think about it due to my own strength. It was much more difficult to seize the priesthood of an existing god than to develop a priesthood and ascend to a god on my own.
This not only means declaring war with this god, but also offending a series of her allies, and may even arouse the disgust and rejection of other gods, because there are only so many priests, and every time someone else gets their hands on a part, the benefits will be divided. It will be one more point.
But as his strength increases at a terrifying speed, his thoughts are also changing.
What you have to do is destined to not be a smooth road. If you worry about all the things, you don't need to do anything.
Just like this time when he captured the plundering bear from Ma La, the god of hunting, Zifan himself took a slightly weaker approach and chose to avoid Ma La's beast divine incarnation instead of confronting him head-on. He would not be where he is now. harvest.
The road to becoming a god is itself a road full of blood and killing, and a road of robbery with countless corpses. It means fighting.
There are some things where you have the best of both worlds, finding ways to mutually benefit, but there are some things where you don't.
Such is the priesthood.
This thing cannot be shared. Sharing means that someone is dividing the source of your faith and taking away some of the believers who originally belonged to you. Your strength will naturally weaken.
As I said before, even if he becomes a god with the road priesthood, this is just a springboard for him.
Construction, operation, and commerce are the real focus of development. This is integrated with all intelligent civilizations. No matter which civilization it is, if it wants to prosper, it must follow this pace, and the road to the future will be broader.
The goddess of trade herself is in a state of disappearance, and the regulators are unqualified. There are many things that she does not need to fight for at all. She only needs to keep building roads and expanding business roads to bring shelter and wealth to more businessmen. , when you become a god with the priesthood of the road and raise your own kingdom, businessmen will naturally take the initiative to get closer to you and offer prayers to you. It is natural for you to enter the priesthood of trade, gold coins and wealth.
Before that, just make sure that the trade goddess is still in the bottomless abyss and still imprisoned.
He is now the biggest troublemaker in Faerun's fate. As long as he does not take the initiative to get involved in this matter, I believe that the fate of the Trade Goddess will not change in a short time. If necessary, he can even hinder the advancement of this matter.
All kinds of conspiracies and tricks... no, it should be all kinds of plans and strategies, rushing through Gavin's mind. It is very difficult to rescue the trade goddess from the bottomless abyss. Prince Wu An, as a famous figure in the bottomless abyss, The Demon Lord is ranked among the top ten in terms of strength. Running into his territory to save people is definitely not an easy task.
But if you want to sabotage this kind of rescue, it shouldn't be too simple. Just a piece of information can put the rescue team in danger.
This method must be used with caution. It is a typical evil method. If it is not used well, it can easily be true and become an excuse to attack oneself.
"General, General Gavin..." Crown Princess greeted him several times in succession before Gavin's extended thoughts were gathered back.
Gavin responded apologetically: "Sorry, what did you just say? I was a little distracted."
"Did I say something wrong just now?" Tynarasta didn't show any annoyance. Instead, she was full of interest. She wanted to pry Gavin's head open to see what other ideas he had going around.
The longer the contact lasted, the more the Crown Princess discovered that the young man in front of her had very different ways of doing things and ideas from everyone she knew.
