Chapter 1057: Deep Plan

Blood Claw sneered and said, "What happens next is not up to him.

Before the troops are dispatched, I will spread the content of the contract between us to other tribes, forcing those tribes to unite and fight against the beast demon tribe together.

For safety reasons, it is best for us to take the lead in commanding this matter. It is time for those tribes that secretly surrender to us to show their value.

I wonder if General Thomas is interested in serving as the behind-the-scenes commander of these tribes?"

Never pin your hopes on those unreliable allies. Blood Claw had already realized this truth when he followed the Black Death Ghoul Warband.

"It turns out that the general has already prepared a way to deal with it." Thomas said with excitement in his eyes that he could not hide. "It is my honor to take on this important task. This task will be completed as soon as possible. I will not follow the general back to Blood Gorge City. I will immediately go to the relevant tribes to contact this matter."

This kind of task is hard to come by. In this process, he will have full autonomy, and the power of life and death will be in his hands.

"You won't take your headquarters with you?" Blood Claw was very satisfied with Thomas's reaction.

Among the five blood-sworn warlords in Blood Gorge City, Thomas is not the most powerful, but he is the smartest, especially in terms of strategy and tactics, which is far ahead of other hobgoblins.

Hobgoblins have never lacked brave and warlike people, but they lack people who can restrain their desires and have strategies.

He naturally became the focus of Blood Claw's training, and he was given priority for such tasks with strong autonomy.

Blood Claw is not worried about its position being threatened.

The speed of their current development is much faster than the speed of talent mining.

When Thomas can really stand on his own, they will not be far from building a second hobgoblin city.

The Giant Plains is vast enough to accommodate eight or ten Thomases.

Thomas grinned and said, "No, we are not trying to win the war, but to drag the beast demon tribe into the war and hinder its expansion. Just those rabble are enough.

If I send out my own troops, it will be too conspicuous and easy to fall into the trap.

If possible, General, you'd better help me find a magic equipment for disguise and transformation, so that I can act secretly."

"No need to wait until we get back, I have a ready one here." Blood Claw took out a magic mask and handed it to Thomas, saying, "This transformation mask can make you transform into a humanoid creature of ordinary size. I will give it to you in the future."

It is obviously not a coincidence that he has a transformation mask.

It is estimated that he has used it to blend into ordinary earth elves or go deep into the giant plains.

To put it nicely, it is called understanding the people's sentiments.

To put it bluntly, it is clearly a means of surveillance and supervision.

"Thank you, General. I am more confident in completing this task." After Thomas took the mask, he synchronized it directly and put it on his face.

This mask automatically adjusts its size and fits his face perfectly.

With the flash of magic, Thomas's body size has shrunk by half, and he has transformed into a large orc.

He plans to start with those orc tribes first. The orc tribes that can resist the coercion and inducement of the half-beast trolls and do not join the beast tribe must have ambitions or disagree with the tyrannical rule of the half-beast trolls, and are most likely to be instigated.

Because they may become the priority targets of the beast tribe.

Ulkruna calls himself the king of all orcs and trolls in the Giant Plains, and naturally wants to bring all the orc tribes under his banner.

It's just that he has been restricted by the Blood Gorge City and has never had the opportunity to start a war.

Now there is a chance, and it doesn't matter what Ulkruna does.

What's important is to make those related monster tribes think he will do it.

This is not difficult to do, just a little rumor is enough, especially the meeting between Blood Claw and Ulkruna is public, and countless people know about it.

This matter itself will cause countless people to speculate.

The half-beast trolls themselves never hide their ambitions.

Under the deliberate fanning of the flames, the tribes around the Beast Demon Tribe were soon pushed to the opposite side of him, and began to unite on a large scale to form a united front to fight against him.

Ulkuna knew that it was the hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City who were secretly making trouble, but he could do nothing about it, because the binding force of their contract was not strong, and it was normal for both parties to use their own means.

Just like after he finished the negotiations, he immediately sent someone to warn the Gnoll Queen and told her all the plans of Blood Gorge City.

The more fiercely the Gnoll Queen fought with the hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City, the more beneficial it was for him. If possible, it would be best if both sides were injured.

The Gnoll Queen seemed to have received the news early and began to recruit a large army of monsters to prepare for the attack of Blood Gorge City.

As the most powerful military force in the Giant Plains, every move of Blood Gorge City would be watched by someone, and the Giant Plains was vast enough for them to launch a surprise attack.

Blood Claw was not prepared to launch a surprise attack, because the order he received from Catherine was not as simple as killing the Gnoll Queen, but to kill as many Gnolls as possible on the Giant Plains.

Compared with searching the entire Giant Plains, it is better to give the Gnoll Queen some time to let her gather all the Gnolls under her rule and then annihilate them collectively.

The courage to implement this plan is naturally based on strong military force.

Over the past year or so, although Blood Gorge City has been restrained as much as possible, their development speed is also quite terrifying. The number of hobgoblins has exceeded 100,000, with nearly 5,000 large hobgoblins and no less than 300,000 goblin vassals.

They are now well-known. Not only the hobgoblins in the Giant Plains and the three surrounding mountain ranges have taken the initiative to run here.

In more distant areas, the hobgoblins who are not doing well are also migrating here one after another.

The hobgoblins are famous for being soldiers. Except for infants, women, children and children can all go to the battlefield.

Blood Gorge City did not do so. Instead, it formed a main combat legion like humans, and the rest were reserve legions, mainly engaged in economic construction.

Blood Gorge City currently has six blood oath legions, each with 5,000 people, led by six blood oath warlords.

Don't look at the small number of people, but they are all among the best elites, all of them are armored cavalry, and they all wear tailor-made dwarf heavy armor.

The source is naturally the restarted Colossus City, where the amount of steel and equipment produced every day is amazing.

As the backbone of deterring the scoundrels, the hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City are naturally the priority targets for arming.

Blood Gorge City has both traditional hobgoblin wolf cavalry, who are usually dressed in scale armor, equipped with longbows and long swords, and are generally light cavalry, used for reconnaissance, raids, driving or harassment.

There are also heavy armored cavalry like humans, in which they have a great advantage.

The hobgoblins and livestock produced in the Giant Plains are taller than those in other places, and the heavily armored knights armed are naturally more terrifying.

But compared with the real specialty of the Giant Plains, these ordinary hobgoblin heavy knights are not good enough.

Those large hobgoblin heavy knights riding super-large war horses have an average height of more than five meters. Just standing there in a row is extremely visually impactful, not to mention when they charge with a rumble.

Six blood-sworn legions came out in full force and plunged into the Giant Plains. They only carried a small amount of military supplies with them, and were obviously prepared to be eaten by the enemy.

After more than half a year of recuperation, most of the monster tribes on the Giant Plains have recovered a certain vitality.

In the face of such a large-scale war, they have no way to stay out of it and must stand on the side.

Either assist the hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City to attack the Gnoll Queen, or become a vassal of the Gnoll Queen and join her army to fight against the fierce hobgoblin heavy cavalry.

When the blood-sworn legions of Blood Gorge City approached the territory of the Gnoll Queen, their troops were no longer 30,000, but 100,000.

All the monster tribes that responded to the call along the way were reorganized into vassal corps by them.

A war storm sweeping across the Giant Plains is coming.

…

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

The timeline should be pulled back to when Catherine and Blood Claw just parted.

Catherine took her own Shadow Flying Vehicle and headed straight for Colossus City after leaving Blood Gorge City.

Along the way, there was a bustling scene of heavy traffic, with countless heavy trucks pulled by super-large livestock shuttling back and forth here. A large number of gathering points were being built on both sides of the road, some of which were planned uniformly by Colossus City, and some of which were spontaneously built by businessmen with business acumen.

The two are very easy to distinguish.

The former are busy with either kobolds or shield dwarves, while humans have become rare visitors.

The latter are mainly humans.

No matter which one, one thing is certain.

These gathering points are the prototypes of future villages and towns. Judging from the current busyness of this trade route, they will complete their transformation within three to five years.

It is human instinct to pursue a better life. Places with prosperous trade will naturally have more opportunities.

The dwarf steel ingots, dwarf weapons and armor produced by Colossus City are absolutely hard currency and are very popular wherever they go. At present, they are mainly in Amn, Tethyr and the Dragon Coast.

Supply is in short supply. If you want to buy in bulk, it is not enough to just have money, but also to have strong relationships.

After all, whoever has this hard currency in his hands will be able to gain local dominance.

As for the Colossus City, where other supporting facilities have not yet fully caught up, most of the various living materials need to be eaten from the outside. Although they have tried their best to develop, this situation will continue for a long time in the future.

Because they are expanding faster.

Not only because a large number of kobolds and shield dwarves have migrated here after hearing the news, but also because the kobolds are too fertile.

With sufficient nutrient supply, those female kobolds are like hens laying eggs, laying eggs in nests and hatching in groups.

When Catherine arrived at the Colossus City, all she heard were the barking of various puppies, and all kinds of kobolds were in her sight.

There are black-winged kobolds with black dragon wings, big kobolds with heights comparable to those of earth elves, dragon vein kobolds who can cast spell-like abilities, and countless small dog-headed people who have just been born.

In terms of air defense, Colossus City and Blood Gorge City are incomparable.

The Shadow Flying Vehicle driven by Catherine was discovered and targeted before it approached Colossus City by 10 kilometers.

When she was still three kilometers away from Colossus City, a group of flying dragons had already come up aggressively, and the one leading it had an unusually conspicuous black wing.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Catherine appeared on top of the Shadow Flying Vehicle as soon as possible.

After seeing Catherine's appearance, the leading dragon immediately twisted its body and turned into a charming woman with black dragon wings flapping. It saluted her from a distance and said, "No wonder my blood boiled this morning. I always felt that something good was going to happen. It turned out that the lady came in person. Please come in quickly."

"You are welcome, Lord." Catherine said straight to the point, "I believe you have received the general's order.

According to the needs, I chose the Giant Plains as the main battlefield, the Queen of the Gnolls as the main combat target, and General Blood Claw will lead his earth elves The troops are the main force of the attack.

I need the city lord to lead the air force of Colossus City to support it. "

"Colossus City and Blood Gorge City are the hands of the same person, and they have the responsibility to watch over each other. We have no choice but to do what the lady said."

Sanoba responded readily, "This order only needs to be delivered by the Shadow Messenger. It is not worth it for the lady to run in person, right?"

"The city lord is wise." Catherine praised, "Yes, this is just a superficial plan. I am also going to take the opportunity to implement a deeper plan."

"Deep plan?" The black dragon girl looked puzzled.

"General Gavin and the Council of Death Chiefs have a one-year agreement." Catherine did not keep it a secret and told the truth directly.

"Isn't the one-year agreement just halfway through?" Shanoba only knew about the agreement, but didn't know the details.

"One year is just an imaginary number. Now is a better time for us. I am going to detonate it in advance." Catherine's explanation was still somewhat ambiguous, because some things could not be said clearly, "I need to go to the territory of the Council of Death Chiefs and have a personal talk with their Undead Chieftain."

Sanoba understood immediately, "Do you need the stone giant manager to lead the way for you?"

"Yes." Catherine nodded.

"Follow me." Without saying a word, Sanoba took Catherine to the Colossus City.

Since the other party knew about the one-year agreement with the Council of Death Chiefs, it must be Gavin who told her and personally instructed her.

The two soon entered a huge underground cave, just like entering a stone sculpture exhibition room, full of various vivid stone statues, of which the most eye-catching one was naturally the super giant road statue in the center.

From the perspective of shape and carving craftsmanship, the road statue of Gavin in Blood Gorge City and this one are of the same origin, and are the work of one person.

A giant with gray skin was busying around the semi-finished product, completely immersed in the world of sculpture art, and was completely unaware of the arrival of the two.

"Master Domingo... Domingo..." Sanoba shouted loudly without hesitation.

She knew the character of this stone giant very well. If they didn't interrupt him, he wouldn't notice them even if they stood here for three days and three nights.

Since Gavin reached an agreement with the Undead Chieftain Duokong, this stone giant has completely let himself go, completely immersed in the world of sculpture, and carved Gavin's statue without sleep and food.

According to him, his understanding of sculpture has reached a new level, and his sculpture level has been greatly improved.

Sanoba couldn't see the difference between the before and after, just like she couldn't understand why a person could be so obsessed with stone and sculpture.

Catherine looked at Domingo's latest work with a serious expression.

"So it's the Lord of the City... How did you find time to come to me?" Domingo's thoughts finally pulled back from his own world.

Before Sanoba could speak.

Catherine asked immediately: "Both are statues of General Gavin, why is this one so different from the one in Blood Gorge City?"

"You also know how to carve?" Domingo immediately became excited.

"I don't know how to carve, but I know how to feel." Catherine answered truthfully.

Instead, Sanoba looked confused and asked: "Is there a difference between the two statues?"

Catherine did not argue with Sanoba, but waved her hand and summoned a memory image.

"Huh!" Seeing this, Sanoba couldn't help but let out a low cry, "It's true... Why is the one in Blood Gorge City so peaceful and solemn, and this one is full of evil spirits?"

The shapes of the two are not much different, but there are slight changes in the details.

It was this slight change that caused the aura of the same person to change drastically, giving the illusion that it was not the same person.

Domingo replied meaningfully: "It's not that my carving technique has changed, but that my carving object has changed. You should know that I am not carving an ordinary statue, but a statue of a rising god.

His demeanor and appearance are not determined by me, but by the power he controls.

General Gavin is being tempted by the endless power of darkness and falling into the endless abyss."

"I see." Catherine nodded and said, "The master's carving art has indeed reached the pinnacle, to the extent of resonating with the law and the body.

This statue does not need to be preserved in the world, the Great Disintegration Technique!"

A gray light burst out from Catherine's hand and fell directly on the statue that was about to be completed.

Click! Click! Click!

This nine-ring spell demonstrated the reason for its fame. The super-giant statue, which was nearly forty meters tall, was cracking and falling off. None of the broken stones was more than ten centimeters in diameter.

"What are you doing?" Caught off guard, the stone giant had no way to stop it and asked in shock and anger. (End of this chapter)
