"The second thing is to re-pave the macro road. My kobold artificial soldiers can complete this task without your help. However, roads alone are not enough. A large number of transportation vehicles are also needed to transport food to the front line. I need those druids to help build a batch in the shortest possible time, and the wood will be from these withered and dead trees."
Sometimes, Gavin had to be grateful to those corrupt evil gods, because their corruption and destruction of the forest allowed him to obtain a large amount of usable wood without conflicting with those natural creatures.
When the Dragon Oak Mother Tree fully grew, it destroyed all the corrupt evil gods.
Wouldn’t it be troublesome to find available wood in the future?
This kind of thought just surfaced, but it was thrown away by Gavin, and now he has not even written a word about it.
It's a bit too far to think about this, and with the continuous war against the corrupt evil god, I believe that more usable wood will be harvested in the process. The batch of dark wood harvested in Mir Forest has been used for less than three years. One of them, and now he has harvested a larger batch in Leisier Forest, including high-quality unique wood like the magic tree, which should be enough for him to use for a while.
Corrupt evil gods are not so easy to eradicate completely. This is something that even the powerful gods of nature have never been able to do. With the rise of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, corresponding new corrupt evil gods may be spawned. The gods are not static. , but constantly evolves and adjusts itself according to the development of current events.
"This is simple." This time, Archdruid Hanso was extremely happy to reuse the dead trees. Even the most stubborn druid would not object. "Do you have any special needs for transportation tools, Commander?"
"Prepare five hundred of these tanks for me first." Gavin was already prepared and took out a drawing.
What is a tower-style chariot that has made great achievements in battles on the road of migration?
This kind of tank has been tested and baptized by war and has proven its worth.
During non-war times, it can be used as a super-heavy truck, with a full load carrying capacity of up to ten tons, which is ten times that of a light truck and three times that of a heavy truck. When empty, it can also be used as a temporary residence.
In wartime, it has more tactical options. It can be used as a simple fortification or a vehicle formation. When necessary, it can be converted into a simple siege equipment.
The Tukans have an absolute advantage in mobility, both in the air and on the ground.
Once they break through the Assen Lake defense line, no matter it is in the direction of the giant valley or Sesk, there is no danger of defending.
Playing guerrilla tactics with a group of horse archers on an open plain will only lead to death.
Building fortifications and waiting for reinforcements is the most correct choice, and floor-type chariots that can quickly form a vehicle formation are the best choice.
As for the sidecar, it was directly abandoned by Gavin, because it mainly considered the enemy threats from the ground and did not consider the enemy in the air. It could easily become the target of Tukan's Eagle Knight. Due to various teleportation magic reasons, even the car The interior of the formation is not absolutely safe, and two-way defense must be considered.
"The weight of such a large truck alone is more than that of a fully loaded light truck. I'm afraid ordinary animals can't afford it, right?" Druid Hanso was obviously also a senior carpenter. He just glanced at the drawings and said, An accurate assessment of the tower-type tank was made.
"Yes." Gavin nodded and said, "If you want to exert their true power, they must be those super large animals. Therefore, I also need your Les Cult to help collect those super large ferocious animals and Warcraft, try to collect the number of one thousand."
Although the Plains of Giants produces gigantic livestock, the distance is too far, and any kind of transportation cost far exceeds the value of the livestock several times.
If the problem can be solved locally, we should start from there.
The joining of a large number of druids in the Rice Order gave Gavin the capital to dare to go to war.
Dire animals are wild versions of ordinary animals that have been baptized with a large amount of magic. It is generally believed that they have magical effects similar to those of mutated animals.
Because their size is twice that of normal animals, they are exactly the same as the giant animals in the Giant Plains.
The gigantic animals in the Giants' Plain are not called ferocious animals because they have only grown in size. Their temperaments are not much different from ordinary wild animals, and the difficulty of domestication is not much higher than that of ordinary creatures.
Dire animals are different. They are wild and aggressive. Many herbivorous ferocious animals tend to be omnivorous or even carnivorous, that is to say, ferocious horses and ferocious cattle will also hunt animals.
Archdruid Hanso couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Commander, do you really think that we druids are omnipotent in the wilderness? The reason why ferocious animals are called ferocious animals is because in their bodies, Absorbing too much wild magic, they become extremely ferocious and powerfully aggressive.
For druids below Extraordinary, the possibility of taming them is almost zero.
If an extraordinary druid wants to tame them, it cannot be done overnight. It must spend a lot of time getting along with them, establishing emotional connections, and then combining them with the abilities of animal companions to activate their intelligence to fight against the suppressive maniacs. The violent nature inspired by wild magic.
Without the ability of animal companions to assist in control, even an extraordinary druid can at best appease those ferocious animals and prevent them from launching attacks without permission. It is impossible to let them pull a cart.
This has been verified by countless powerful druids.
As for the monsters that can reach super large sizes, none of them are below extraordinary. They usually have intelligence that is not inferior to intelligent creatures. If you want them to pull a cart like an animal, unless they are willing, don't even think about it. "
"It seems that I want to keep this matter simple." Gavin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's use a two-pronged approach. I have a batch of charm bracelets in my hand, which can charm and control extremely large ferocious animals and monsters for a long time. There are two in number. About a hundred.
I will transport 800 gigantic animals from Battle Valley as quickly as possible. "
The two cloud rays with super carrying capacity are another trump card in Gavin's hand.
If we go by sea, it will take half a month to go back and forth.
But if they were to airlift it directly from the Battle Valley, it would only take seven to eight days for a round trip, and even going to the place of origin, the Plains of Giants, would only take half a month.
"You don't need so many, five hundred will be enough." Han Suo also actively made suggestions. "Most of the animal companions of extraordinary druids are large animals or ferocious animals. They themselves also have long-term transformation abilities. The abilities of large animals are enough to fill the remaining gaps.”
"This is indeed a good method. After all, when the vehicle is empty or lightly loaded, only one animal is enough. Only when the vehicle is fully loaded, a double driver is needed." Gavin asked worriedly, "It's a bit inappropriate to just use people and animal companions as livestock, isn't it?"
"What's the point?" Druid Hanso said with a careless smile, "There is no difference between pulling a cart in the animal state and in the human state. What's more, this is for the needs of war, not slavery. I can guarantee that there is no such thing. People will care about this.”
"That's good, I'll leave everything to you." Gavin didn't dwell on this matter. As long as the druids didn't care about it, he didn't need to forcefully elevate the nature of the matter.
After exchanging some details with Archdruid Hanso, Gavin continued: "The third thing is to open up wasteland for planting on a large scale in the Giant Valley. No one knows how long this war will last. There is a shortage of food. It will be the norm in the Eastern Region.
Transporting food from the outside world is not a long-term solution after all.
The most important thing is to open up the granary belonging to the Eastern Region. After several visits to the surrounding countries, the Giant Valley is the most suitable. The land here is not only fertile, but also easy to defend. As long as the city of Usmail can be pinched in the west, and Clone can be defended in the east. Special City, there will not be large-scale harassment by the enemy. "
"This..." The two great druids looked at each other involuntarily.
Finally, Han Suo said: "If you can ensure that the land reclamation is limited to the macro road and do not cut down the surrounding forest trees, we have no objection.
But large-scale land reclamation will inevitably require a large number of manpower. Where will you recruit manpower in a short period of time? For those ordinary people, our giant valley is now at the forefront of the war. The Tukan people can attack at any time. It is too late for them to run out and they will not migrate here at all. "
"I know." Gavin nodded and said, "So, I am not going to use ordinary methods to open up wasteland, but to use magic technology on a large scale. This matter is also inseparable from the assistance of your druids."
"Magical technology development? Do you need our help? How to do it?" The two archdruids asked curiously.
"In fact, it is an extension of the use of dragon acorn trees and activated plants. If those trees were before enlightenment, they would use wood shaping and wood bending techniques to shape them into the shape of an animal that is more convenient for carrying heavy objects, and then transform them into It initiates into the living tree.
In this way, they can replace most of the camels in farming and transporting goods.
Coupled with the Dream Purification Net of the Dragon Acorn Tree, they can be recharged quickly and their active time is greatly increased.
I can ask my arsenal to customize various large-scale farming and sowing tools for them, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. "
Gavin was not so much explaining to the two great druids as he was taking the opportunity to further organize his thoughts. Many new shining points were pouring out like spring water, making his thoughts smoother. " This new type of agriculture is not just as simple as cultivating the most land with the least population.
At the same time, it has also managed to integrate forestry and farming, which have always been in conflict with each other.
To maintain the vitality of activated plants, farmers not only cannot cut down forests extensively, but must also maintain and protect a certain amount of forest.
I believe that as long as we succeed, it will not only change the agricultural pattern of Faerûn, but even the development pattern of the entire world, and will arouse countless people's attention and love for forest resources.
This is far more effective than blindly fighting against the development of intelligent life. "
Farming with living plants instead of livestock?
Use Dragon Acorn Tree to power up animated plants?
Coupled with the druid's ability to manipulate weather and plants.
Wouldn’t it be true that every extraordinary druid could become the best farmer? One person could cultivate several kilometers of land, and produce thousands of tons of food every year, enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
They are not interested in how much money they can make or how many people they can feed through this method.
If they were interested, they would have done so already.
Even if there is no dragon acorn tree, if those activated plants are used to replace livestock, there is still huge potential. Their druids have always had a great advantage in planting, which has long been demonstrated by the priests of Shantia Town. Out.
They were interested in the mutually beneficial relationship that this new planting model would have with the forest because of the dragon acorn tree.
As Gavin just said, this method is really effective. Not only will the entire agricultural pattern of Faerûn change, but even the social status of druids will undergo huge changes. Many originally developed from intelligent creatures. The sharp contradictions will not only cease to exist, but will even undergo fundamental changes.
And this is what they, the druids of the wilderness, have been dreaming of all their lives.
"Okay, okay, okay, no wonder the commander was appointed as the evangelist by the forest lady. He does have his own uniqueness. This method not only perfectly integrates agricultural development and forest protection, but can even purify the forest." Fusing together, I believe that where the dragon acorn tree guards, the corruption will retreat."
The person who was full of praise was not Hanso, but the Great Druid of Netyat, "Count me in for this matter. I have an advantage on the Enlightenment Beast-shaped trees. There are dozens of them near Dansaros Fortress. The square kilometers of ancient trees have been distorted by my years of research, showing natural animal shapes, very similar to the battlefield heather, and the trees there are open to your enlightenment."
Gavin thanked him with joy, "Thank you for your selfless assistance. This way, things have become much simpler. Not only does this matter have an effective solution, but the previous two problems also have new solutions. Those who are unwilling The druids who are assisting in the construction of Uthmer City through Enlightenment Trees can try to ask them to go to Enlightenment Beast-type Enlightenment Trees as a backup option for pulling carts and animals. This should be easier for them to agree to.
In the absence of dragon acorn trees or natural guards to provide additional recovery speed, whether it is enlightenment trees or beast-shaped enlightenment trees, although their vitality is a bit lower, their size still has advantages that ordinary people do not have. "
"Okay, it's settled."
"I have no objection either."
The two archdruids expressed their opinions one after another and decided to follow the young commander in a big fight to see what he, a preacher recognized by the forest lady and the envoy of the natural balancer, could bring to the giant valley. What kind of changes have happened? Is this new type of agriculture he planned as beautiful as he said?
Any of the three plans Gavin mentioned would be a big deal in an ordinary territory, requiring planning and preparation for several years, several years, or even decades, and step-by-step construction.
But when he got here, he not only had to race against time, but also had to advance on three fronts simultaneously, compressing everything into just one or two months, or even ten days.
These three plans are not isolated, but are interrelated, among which those extraordinary druids are the top priority.
Gavin still underestimated the stubbornness of these wilderness druids. Even if the two great druids, Netyat and Hanso, came to the rescue in person, less than one-tenth of them could be convinced.
In desperation, Gavin had no choice but to take action in person again. His persuasive method was still the shock therapy of seeing is believing. He not only took them to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree for a field trip and a one-day trip, but also took them to Mis Visited Noel, City of Faith and Battle Valley,
Let them experience for themselves the changes that Druid can bring to the world when he changes his mind.
Needless to say, this method works really well.
Although these wilderness druids were shocked by the unique scene in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the biggest impact on them was the City of Faith.
They couldn't believe that the prosperous city had only been built in less than three months.
At the same time, I am very interested in the natural ecological industry where Stark shrub planting, swamp fish farming, bio-cement production and rapid urban construction are perfectly integrated.
The rise of that city did not have a devastating impact on the natural environment here. On the contrary, it quickly integrated into it and transformed the place. It was a typical mutual benefit and everyone got what they needed.
The new type of agriculture that Gavin promised them would also adhere to the same model and even go far beyond this place. It would maximize the utilization of forest resources without causing any harm to the place.
This aroused the curiosity of most extraordinary druids, and many decided to join in with a trying mentality. Anyway, once they sense that something is wrong, they can stop immediately, and the initiative is in their hands.
And such extraordinary druids accounted for half of it, and Gavin was satisfied with this.
A change in concepts does not happen overnight, especially something that is relatively advanced and still in a theoretical state, and it is more difficult for people to accept it.
Gavin is full of confidence in his new type of agriculture. Once he sees certain results, those stubborn druids will definitely join their ranks one after another.
As for the Giant Valley, there are fifty-eight extraordinary druids and more than three hundred ordinary druids who have chosen to join the natural guards.
As for Gavin, he recruited thirty-two extraordinary druids, most of whom were fey. They were most influenced by Gavin and highly agreed with his plan.
