"I see. It seems that Commander Gavin's influence on you is not that big, and he actually asked you to take his surname." Duis felt that he had a deeper understanding of the young commander.
Although the East End and East Heartland are separated by the Sea of Fallen Stars, many customs are actually the same, especially the differences between the Kingdom of Cormyr and the cities on the Dragon Coast. This is because their initial immigrants came from the East End. The Kingdom of Imbutu.
The Purple Dragon Knight system of the Kingdom of Cormyr is in line with the Paladins of the Kingdom of Imbutu.
Taking the initiative to add the other person's family name to one's own means that one highly recognizes the person and is willing to serve as his retainer for generations, which is the highest form of loyalty.
"Yes." Aiden was not shy about his past. "If it weren't for the lord, I would still be a begging tool kneeling on the bustling streets of Ximen with my legs broken. It was the lord who gave me Given the opportunity to redefine my life, I am willing to devote my life to being loyal and repaying him.”
"That's it." Duis nodded with understanding, "I wonder what Mr. Aiden means by cooperation? Can you tell me in detail?"
"The latest order just issued by the lord, I believe the big leader should know it. We now need nine team members, but there are too many people in Usmail City. We are unwilling to compete with our companions and want to cooperate with the big leader. It's up to you to send your gang brothers to join our chariot team." Aiden directly stated his intention.
Before Duis could express his position, Aiden continued his analysis, "I believe that after the previous defensive battle, the big leader should realize the huge difference between street fighting and large-scale war. Our gang brothers seriously lack war experience and join our war." The car team is a very good opportunity.
We can swear in the name of the lord that we will not hide our secrets from the gang brothers who join our chariot team, and we will spare no effort to teach what we have learned, including the ways of war of the strategic lady.
As long as they are not too stupid, after a year and a half of war training, they can become qualified low-level commanders. There is no problem in leading at least a ten-man team.
When the time comes, you can use them as your team to form an army of your own.
If you can purchase a batch of floor-type chariots from the lord, it will be even simpler, and you will be able to directly form your own chariot corps.
Believe us, a chariot army consisting of a hundred chariots is almost invincible in the wilderness. Whether it is to expand territory or do business over a long distance, it is a good choice. Verified by a migration path of hundreds of kilometers.
Could it be that the big leader doesn’t want to take a share of the Golden Road in the future? Is there anything more suitable for long-distance business than a tower-type chariot? "
Not only Douis and Brady showed excited expressions, but even Felican, who had always been disapproving of it, also showed a thoughtful expression, wondering in his mind, had he been greedy for alcohol and made a mistake? What is this floor-type chariot they are talking about? It sounds like something amazing! What about forming a tank team?
"Mr. Aiden's proposal is indeed very exciting. If our gang brothers can join us, we would be happy to ask for it, but..." Duis cautiously tried, "Just doing this can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Commander, do you have any objections?"
When Duis first saw the floor-type chariot, he thought of the Golden Road.
This kind of truck that integrates offense and defense but has super carrying capacity is simply an excellent choice for ultra-long-distance transportation.
There is no need for a hundred vehicles, only ten vehicles, coupled with a hundred ordinary trucks, can form an invincible convoy across the endless wilderness to the Far Eastern Empire.
They don't need to be 100% safe. As long as they can improve it by a few or even a dozen percentage points, they can earn much more than ordinary businessmen.
It is no exaggeration to say that mastering them means mastering the key to success and wealth.
What does the rule of a small city of Usmail mean?
As long as they are rich enough, they can go to neighboring countries, buy a city, and become mayor and lord themselves.
They can even build an invincible fleet to expand territory on the Falling Star Sea and establish their own country.
Would the ambitious young commander sell such an important war instrument?
Will he allow their sword-and-sword gang brothers to join their army?
Aiden confidently replied: "Before we came to the Eastern Region, the Lord once taught us that in order to fight against the ferocious nomads, we must unite all friendly forces that can be united to seek common development and common interests. I think the chief's brotherhood is within this friendly sphere.
I still remember what the lord once said, there is no way for one person to enjoy all the benefits alone, otherwise he will only become a monomaniac who is surrounded by enemies.
This is the case with the Golden Road. I believe that the Commander hopes that this trade road will become more prosperous than anyone else. He will even build an asphalt road all the way to the Far Eastern Empire. His majestic statue can be seen even in the endless wilderness. "
A person's pattern will affect the pattern of those around him, and this is the case with these soldiers who wholeheartedly support Gavin.
Although they were not very clear about the specific purposes of some of Gavin's actions, many things proved to be because their lord's vision was too forward-looking.
All they need to do is follow and support, which is the case when setting up road statues.
Aiden finally added, "The big leader's worries are a bit unnecessary. If the lord didn't want your brotherhood brothers to join, I believe we would have no chance of setting foot in your shipyard and we would have been stopped long ago."
"It makes sense." Duis nodded involuntarily, "It's just that the matter is in a hurry. Can you give us some time to negotiate internally?"
"Of course, please, the big boss, but don't take too long. After all, the time given to us by the lord is very limited. If you don't agree, we can understand. Please leave us time to recruit other team members." Aiden was considerate. The way.
"It won't take a few minutes. Just wait here." Duis waved to his two brothers and went into other rooms.
"I don't think there is anything to discuss about this matter." Brady responded directly. "Didn't we negotiate before? Once Commander Gavin leads us to win this war, we will devote all our resources to him. He, he has won more thoroughly than we expected. Not only has he eradicated the Lord of Blight, but even the two largest druid circles in our Giant Valley have unconditionally turned to him. His rise in the Giant Valley has become unstoppable. .”
"It's because he won so thoroughly that I'm worried." Felican was not simply stupid, but had his own concerns. "If this continues, it will be a matter of time before he annexes our Sword and Thorn Brotherhood. If he wants Now that we are in charge of the city of Uxmail, where will we go from here?”
"Your worries are completely unnecessary." Brady sneered. "When he broke into Usmail City single-handedly, we couldn't resist him, let alone his layout here. No matter what he wanted, Whatever you do, the only thing we can do is to support and join. Even if it requires our family wealth, we can only give it up obediently, unless you want to die."
"Okay, stop arguing. They have never taken a fancy to our little gang. From the beginning, they are not on the same level as us, and they have different intentions." Duis waved his hand and interrupted the two. The brothers' argument, "What I want to discuss is not whether to send gang brothers to them, but I want you two to personally lead the team and join the tank team."
"Are we leading the team ourselves? Being the deputy for those little brats who are not even as old as my son?" Felican's voice was full of disbelief, and it was so high-pitched that it could break the roof.
Even Brady, who supported Duis, looked surprised. He didn't expect his eldest brother to do so thoroughly.
"Not only you, but Levi, Pereira, Dupu and Harrison all go to me. If I didn't need to stay in Usmail City, I would go too." Duis didn't look like he was joking.
This time, before Felican could speak, Brady hurriedly said: "Levi and the others don't need to go, they are still just children!"
The four people Duis just named are the sons of three of them who are over seventeen years old.
"Brady, you are good at everything, but you dote on these children too much. When our three brothers set foot in Usmail City together, we were one year younger than them on average, and those young people outside were much older than them. ? But look at their performance, Levi and the others are in the same sky and on the ground."
Duis said with a serious expression, "This is the best opportunity to train them. I am not discussing with you, but telling you my decision. Felican, don't think you should give it to someone less than half your age." It is a shame to take action now, because there is indeed a lot worth learning from them. Believe me, you will thank me for my decision today."
"Brother, you know, I will never disobey your orders, but you always let me know the reason why you made this decision." Felican said with a smile on his face.
After Duis was silent for a few seconds, he slowly exhaled and said: "Because we are humans and he is a god, not now and not in the near future."
"What? How is that possible?"
"Brother, are you talking about Commander Gavin?"
Brady and Felican exclaimed at the same time, with a hint of disbelief in them.
They acknowledged that Commander Gavin was extraordinary, but there was no way to connect him with a god.
"I knew you would react this way, see for yourselves!" Duis stopped talking nonsense and took out a memory crystal. As the magic power surged, a shaking and blurry picture appeared in front of the two of them. .
hiss! hiss! hiss!
There were only gasps in the field.
What is playing in this magic projection is nothing else. It is the scene of Gavin controlling the dragon oak incarnation to fight the Lord of Blight. He is still in his second stage of human form. Anyone who knows him can recognize him at a glance.
Even with a very low-definition magic projection, the two of them could clearly feel the horror of this battle. Both the enemy and ourselves were unmatched by human power, just like the previous battle in Usmail City. The two elemental kings killed were the same.
In the defensive battle of Uxmail City, the young commander only showed excellent strategies and tactics. The fire elemental army that played a key role was summoned by the world-famous Leatherman witches. .
Therefore, the Sword Thorn Brotherhood maintains respect for Gavin, but it is relatively limited.
Who would have thought that the other party would have such terrifying and extraordinary methods hidden deep inside.
At this moment, they suddenly understood why the two major druid circles in the Jugu spared no effort to support Gavin. This was not a fluke, but something he won with his true strength. Only they were stupid and arrogant about Yelang, thinking that they had the upper hand with the other party. He has equal qualifications for cooperation, and believes that the other party's rule in Usmail City cannot be achieved without him.
"Are you still opposed to my decision now?" Duis asked.
Felican fell to his knees like an eggplant beaten by frost, "Brother, I was wrong. I almost brought disaster to our brotherhood because of my recklessness. I am willing to obey brother's arrangement. Even if you let me I’m going to be a groom, so I’ll go too.”
"Get up, you still consider yourself too important. Even if you confront the commander with your provocation and rudeness, he will probably laugh it off, because you pose no threat to him at all."
Duis grabbed Felican's shoulders and said, "You don't need to belittle yourselves too low. This time you lead a team to join their tank team, just to learn their methods of managing the army, their tactical concepts and their fighting style. The use of chariots is to prepare for the formation of our own army and caravans in the future, and take a long-term view. As long as we can create value for Commander Gavin, he will not attack us."
"Brother, do you really want to get involved in the Golden Road and trade with the Far East in the future?" Brady heard what his elder brother meant.
"This matter depends on the development of the situation. In the past ten years, due to the rise of the Tukan people, the Golden Road has been blocked. Less than one-fifth of the teams successfully return every year. Especially in the past two years, it has almost stagnated. "
Duis directly opened his heart to the two brothers and said, "If the coalition forces only defeated or repelled the Tukan people and set foot on the Golden Road, they must carefully consider it, even with Commander Gavin's building-style chariot. .
But if the coalition forces severely damage or even completely defeat the Tukan people, leaving them unable to recover, that would be an excellent opportunity to enter the Golden Road.
We don't even need to take the lead, we just need to follow the commander's butt and drink some soup, which is enough for us to live on the golden mountain in the future.
There is nothing wrong with making preparations now. "
Felican asked in confusion: "How can eldest brother be so sure that Commander Gavin will definitely march on the Golden Road?"
Brady smiled and replied: "Being drunk does ruin things. If you had witnessed the show this morning with your own eyes, you would not ask this question. Commander Gavin's advantages in road construction and roads are not your poor imagination." It's beyond imagination.
As long as the war develops in our favor, Commander Gavin will not only set foot on the Golden Road, but he will do so in ways beyond your imagination. "
His answer not only failed to clear up Felican's doubts, but instead made him even more confused.
Why, in just one night, when talking about Commander Gavin, the tone and style of his two brothers had changed so much, making him feel that he and they were not talking about the same person.
Duis and Brady obviously did not explain more to him, because only those who have witnessed the outside situation with their own eyes can feel the impact of it, and explaining it with words is relatively pale.
After the three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood reached a consensus, the rest became much simpler.
They first screened through their own brotherhoods, selected gang brothers with quick minds, and sent them to the chariot captains for them to choose.
These chariot captains were not only the first to complete their missions, but also the most sophisticated.
The Sword Thorn Brotherhood not only dispatched its own gang brothers, but also armed them. Each tank was given a quota of two Sword Thorn elites. This kind of heavy armored soldiers wearing Far Eastern Mingguang armor is different from the building type chariot. 's capabilities are very complementary, further strengthening its capabilities.
…
"This kid is a bit interesting." Gavin drew a star mark behind Aiden, who was ranked first on the list handed over by Grace, "Make him a key investigation target, and these few, if necessary. , place shadows in their team."
Just as Aiden guessed, their every move is under Gavin's surveillance, because this is also an assessment and selection for them to select available talents.
Those who, like Aiden, take innovative paths are the focus of investigation.
Most of these people are extremely flexible in their thinking and act in an eclectic way. They either become great talents or become sneaky people.
The two are one heaven and one underground, and they must be carefully screened and distinguished.
"Understood." Grace bowed and responded, "Sir, are there any other tasks?"
"No more for now." Gavin took the opportunity to stand up, stretch his muscles, and said with a smile, "You have been following me for a long time, so there is no need to be so reserved. I remember when I first met you, you were He is sharp-tongued and can win three points regardless of reason. Why is it that now he is like a different person, always silent? Are you still struggling with the past? "
This death viper, which once belonged to Ivanso, has now become a capable person around him, secretly helping him deal with many gray things, including this kind of internal assessment and supervision that is not very bright.
Among the five hundred newly promoted chariot captains, there are members of the Shadow Wing.
His stall is getting bigger and bigger, and some extraordinary measures are necessary. Even the most loyal people have the possibility of being corrupted, especially if they are away from home for a long time.
