Chapter 379 Preparations

Bloodclaw pondered for a few minutes before answering, "I will take half of the Bloodsworn, two-thirds of the Wolf Riders, and all the Orcs. What do you think?"

"This arrangement is reasonable." Gavin nodded without thinking, "You have five days to prepare. Five days later, there is a high possibility that a temporary curtain will be opened here to my new territory. At that time, I will send someone to cover you and sneak through secretly. You will set out from there to Tethyr. If the curtain fails to open, I will make other arrangements."

Not setting out directly from the rocky land, but running to the valley for a detour, is naturally to avoid suspicion.

Although there is no movement from the Zhentarim, it seems that they have given up the pursuit of this batch of goods.

But according to Gavin's understanding of this organization, it is now the most dangerous. Its spies are estimated to have spread all over the valley, looking for any clues related to it.

If there was no temporary curtain, Gavin would not let them go through the rocky land, but would transfer them little by little through the teleportation array. In that case, Blood Claw's starting army and supplies would be much less, the difficulty of opening the situation would be greatly increased, and the speed would be greatly reduced.

"Yes, sir." Blood Claw bowed and responded.

Gavin added: "You only need to prepare the personnel, equipment and mounts. I will help you with food and other supplies in the Three Rivers."

"Understood." Blood Claw responded again.

After arranging the Dragon Oak Territory, Gavin hurried back to the Three Rivers.

The situation in front of him reminded Gavin of an online joke - he wanted to buy a bicycle, but ended up buying a Rolls-Royce.

It was a true reflection of himself now.

He originally just wanted to solve the bird plague in the Vizeme Vineyard.

Now it has become a big fight, the Fairy Wilds and the material plane of the fairies have a great friendship, and a series of things have been brought out from it, and the bird plague has become the most secondary purpose.

At first glance, Gavin needs to prepare a lot of things.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not too much.

Because the guests this time are mainly elves, natural creatures.

Eating and drinking are not their main purpose, singing and dancing are.

But Gavin still prepared as much as possible.

Just as Gavin guessed, the first to arrive was Regina, the princess of the Battle Valley. As soon as she heard the news, she immediately threw away everything and airdropped to the Three Rivers.

When she saw Gavin, Regina couldn't help yelling: "We haven't done anything else in the past two months. We have been running back and forth in your Three Rivers. No, Sir, you have to plan a manor for us. Our sisterhood will set up a permanent station here, and the construction funds will be deducted from our dividends this year."

This kind of thing is naturally not a temporary idea.

She has been thinking about it for a while, and originally wanted to wait until the construction of the new village began to take shape before considering this matter.

Who would have thought that Gavin would do things so quickly, and she had only been away for a few days?

He made a new move. If she had known, she would not have left in a hurry. Even if she had an aerial mount, it would take time to go back and forth.

"It's my honor. I can not only plan and build the manor for you, but also send you three troop transport ships. But you have to solve the sailor problem yourself." Gavin would naturally not refuse. The more forces settled in the Three Rivers, the stronger and more prosperous it would be.

Those who have ulterior motives would naturally think twice before they want to move him.

"You are worthy of being the richest man in our Battle Valley. You are really rich and powerful. You spend 50,000 gold coins at a time. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Regina is now familiar with Gavin and knows his character very well.

This is a man who will not get up early without profit. He has his purpose in everything he says and does.

When he starts to throw money at people, there must be a bigger project waiting for him, which can earn him more money.

"The position of the chief planner of Midsummer Night's Fairy Song must belong to Miss Regina." Gavin said with a smile.

The other party has proved his unique talent in this aspect with practical actions. He can't catch up even if he flatters her. Instead of wasting his brain cells on this, it is better to entrust it to the other party directly, and he can just make suggestions and provide ideas belonging to another world.

"I thought it was something else?" Regina breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a confidence that no one else could do it but me. "Since I'm here, is there anyone who dares to compete with me for this position? But as a reward, three troop transport ships are not enough, at least five will do."

The two are typical brothers who settle accounts clearly.

Even if there are many cooperative projects, they still have to bargain.

Once a residence is established in the Three Rivers, the cheapness of ships will exceed that of horses.

Although she doesn't need it much, her sisters will use it frequently.

"Three ships are enough for a short period of time. More ships will just be a waste of resources if they are moored there." Gavin smiled mysteriously, "I just said that the transport ship is for you. I have another big project to cooperate with you. These are just petty gains. Follow me."

"Another big project? What big project?" Regina's eyes widened. What project could turn 50,000 gold coins into petty gains and not be worth fighting for?

If someone else said this to her, she would definitely sneer at it, thinking it was a big lie to please her.

But if the person in front of me said it, it would not be that simple.

"I can't explain it in one sentence or two, but you'll understand it when you see the real thing." It's not that Gavin is being pretentious, but that he doesn't want to waste more words.

"Okay." Regina did not dwell too much on this matter, but asked enthusiastically, "What's the rumor about dragon slaying outside? I heard that you single-handedly killed the disaster on the East Road? A young red dragon! A revenge storm wiped out all the mercenaries in Sambia, and all the troop transport ships were captured by you? Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Although she has seen Gavin's strength with her own eyes, he does have abilities that do not match his professional level. Let alone being below extraordinary, even most extraordinary ones cannot withstand his three shots.

But slaying a dragon is another story.

When she heard about what happened here, she regretted it for a long time.

What great new material I didn’t get to see with my own eyes.

If I had known earlier, I would have stayed here for two more days.

"Wait a minute, what we are talking about is related to this. What I explained myself is definitely not as intuitive as your own eyes." Gavin's vague words made Regina confused and even more itchy. , I wanted to pry open his head and see directly what kind of ideas were running in his mind.

"By the way, I heard that the group of profiteers in Sambia sent envoys to Ethebra to question your decision to classify Vizeme Manor as a lost land, reiterate Sambia's ownership here, and Want to take back this place?" Gavin took the opportunity to ask Regina.

Sambia's peek at Vizeme Manor was not deterred by the first failure.

Instead, he jumps up and down more actively, but his methods have changed.

"How do you know? Well, according to the usual style of that group of profiteers, have they already consulted with you in private before this?"

"That's right." Gavin nodded and admitted, "Before the ghost auction, they had already come here and tried to buy Vizeme Manor and all the ghost wines with one million Nobels. I didn't agree. Originally I just thought they were using this matter to blackmail me.

Who would have thought that they would actually do this? How thick-skinned are they, so confident that they want to appropriate the fruits of other people's labor? What had they been doing? If you have the ability, when Vizeme Manor is a lost place, send people to recover it yourself! "

"Do you think they haven't thought about it? It's just that the people they sent here failed." Regina's expression also showed disdain that could not be concealed, "What is shame? Businessmen in Sambia have never had it. They only have interests in their eyes.

For the sake of profit, they will even betray their own father and mother, let alone irrelevant people. They have done more shameless things and used more shameless methods. I believe that soon, you will slow down. Everyone has learned the lesson. "

"How is Lord Ilmet going to deal with this matter?"

"Do we still need to deal with this kind of matter?" Regina shrugged and said, "The lord has led his troops to go deep into Cormanthor to pursue the dark elves. If they are anxious, they can go to Cormanthor to find the lord. I just The poor, weak lord's daughter cannot handle such a big thing."

"High, really high." Gavin gave Regina a thumbs up.

No wonder Lord Ilmet is often away from home, hiding away from his emotions. He doesn't even bother to grind his teeth with the businessmen of Sambia, and directly makes them cold.

Don’t you want to go through the official legal process?

Okay, just wait.

Wait until you see the adjudicator.

As for when Lord Ilmet will come back?

It's hard for anyone to say. After all, it's a war, and it's deep into the great forest of Cormanzo where communication is difficult.

One or two months is it, one or two years is not impossible.

Anyway, there is only one word - drag.

"We can delay this matter, but there is one thing that is beyond our control. A merchants' council was held in Sambia overnight to prepare for an economic blockade on you and prohibit all merchants from doing business with you." Lei. Jana reminded.

"I have already heard about this matter." Gavin sneered, "Not all the merchants in Faerun belong to their family, so they can block it if they want? Believe me, it won't take long before they themselves will be in dire straits. No time to pay attention to me."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Vizeme Manor, but both of them were wearing ghost cloaks and were in a state of invisibility.

As the merchants left one after another, the bustling scene of crowds of people was no longer here.

But that doesn't mean that this place has become an empty ghost land again. There is still a very stable group of people here.

These people are not loyal fans of ghosts, but a group of professional mercenaries. They have only one purpose, and that is to make money and conquer Vizeme Manor.

During their exploration, they reached a tacit understanding with Gavin.

To be able to keep them.

Gavin increased the number of treasure chests in the manor, reduced the difficulty of obtaining them, and increased the types of treasures, including all kinds of bits and pieces.

It could be a small piece of top-notch equipment (for ordinary people or low-level warriors) worth a hundred gold.

Or it could just be a warm meal or a symbolic souvenir.

On average, the amount of commissions they receive from other employment tasks is a little higher, but it is relatively limited.

People always have to eat!

Simply relying on love to generate electricity will not last long. Providing them with stable income is the long-term solution.

In other words, they are working for Gavin in disguise.

But what they provide is not their own labor, but their own fear.

There are not many such special mercenaries, only about 300 people.

In addition, there is a special permanent staff - the apprentices of the Holy Light Hammer Monastery, about 50 people.

They are not here for treasures. Valon regards this place as an apprentice training base, allowing them to accumulate experience in facing ghosts here.

In Valon's words, the situation here is more terrifying than facing most ghosts, and the various traps are more complicated and more sinister. As long as they can pass this place, it means that they can deal with most ghost haunting situations in the future.

In view of the unique relationship between the two forces, these apprentices of the Paladin are both trial personnel and Gavin's hired personnel, assisting the special mercenaries in emotional comfort and helping them recover better.
