Chapter 482: Opportunities Brought by Blood Claw

Zalanda said in a deep voice: "General Blood Claw and their group are in a special situation. We can only refer to them, but we cannot fully learn from them. After all, they are all soldiers of high quality.

They were always in a state of motion, fighting as fast as possible. Before the monster tribe could react, they had already killed them and swallowed whatever cartilage they could chew.

If there is no way to chew it, they just retreat far away. Even if they want to pursue it, they can't find the direction.

But large-scale immigration is different. It involves people, vehicles, and families. They move slowly and are bound to be followed by a large number of monster tribes. Once a sufficient number accumulates, they will attack in groups. "

This was her experience. Bringing the soldiers and civilians of Fort Nott to Darauma in just two hundred kilometers was far more difficult than leading an army to attack thousands of miles.

After hearing this analysis, the hobgoblin chief couldn't help but take a deep look at Zalanda. The other party's analysis was completely on point, as if she had witnessed their tactics along the way.

Those who can cooperate with Lord Gavin are indeed no ordinary people.

The hobgoblin chief took the initiative to ask for orders: "If you enter rashly, it is indeed easy to have the problems mentioned by the lady, but if you make all preparations in advance, there are not many tricks you can think of.

I am willing to lead the Blood Claw Legion as the vanguard and return to the Giant Plains. I will clear a path for the lords so that when they see people, they will only run away with their tail between their legs instead of following and peeping. "

At the end of the sentence, Bloodclaw couldn't help but licked his fangs and smiled.

It's just that this smile, in the eyes of others, has a strong smell of blood, the kind that can completely drown people.

Gavin and Zalanda couldn't help but look at each other again. This proposal was indeed exciting.

Bloodclaw and the others have proven with their actual actions that they have advantages over humans in the wilderness.

Their strength is not decreasing as they fight, but increasing as they fight.

The most important thing is that as a race of monsters, their moral bottom line is different from that of humans.

For example, burning plains and destroying forests is something that goes against nature. Human beings must consider the reaction of the gods of nature and do not dare to do it easily.

The hobgoblins do not have this burden. They believe in Magrubit, the powerful being and the god of the goblin race. His main focus is war and destruction. If the gods dare to come, he will fight tit for tat, and he is very happy to do so. He is an out-and-out war madman - this is the operating law of the multiverse. Gods cannot do whatever they want. They also need to be subject to many restrictions, especially after the Year of Turmoil, this shackles are even more severe. Tighter and more.

Gavin nodded and said: "This is indeed an excellent proposal, but if you do this, you will work too hard and there will be no chance to repair it."

Bloodclaw couldn't help laughing and said: "This kind of life is what we like best. On the contrary, the comfortable life in Dragon Oak Territory was a kind of torture for us."

The hobgoblins are called a warlord race for a reason. They have a fanaticism for war and expansion that other races cannot understand.

"Now that we have a group of elite soldiers clearing the way, we can take the opportunity to decide on part of our route. Let's take the path they came from. Your task is to plow down the large and small monster tribes along the way. all over."

After Gavin made up his mind, he began to arrange his troops and said, "This time you are not fighting alone. I have arranged a second army from the rocky land. On the way forward, I will divert them to the Giant Plains.

After you arrive here again, don't rush to start a full-scale war. Just use mobile warfare as you did when you came here. Fight through this place again. After joining them, turn back and fight back to join our immigrant army, and then launch a full-scale war. It’s not too late to sweep.

I believe that after your successive attacks, those monster groups will be greatly frightened. They will not have the courage to show up in front of you again, and the immigrant army will take the opportunity to pass through. "

"This method is feasible!" Bloodclaw nodded involuntarily. This was nothing more than repeating what they had done before. There was no difficulty. On the contrary, they could accumulate more troops.

They become more elite as they fight.

After pondering for a moment, Gavin continued: "When the time comes, I will arrange a special teammate for you. She will mark the wilderness, which will be the migration route of the immigrant army."

The special teammate Gavin mentioned was of course Luna, the half-moon horse. Her Corruption Furnace was an artifact that opened the way to the wilderness.

Before the elite monster army of the Blood Claw Legion is in place, doing so will naturally do more harm than good. This will easily allow interested people to trace the route of the immigrant army and set up ambushes along the way.

Now the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Letting their cleanup work proceed along this temporary road will make it easier to expand the results.

Before seeing the Half-Moon Horse, Bloodclaw probably had no idea about this. Gavin did not give him a chance to express his opinion. Instead, he turned to Zalanda and said: "Before they return to the battlefield, put those Give them priority to install equipment, and just cover it with special markings.”

The equipment he was talking about were the remaining equipment obtained from the Zhentarim.

Because there were too many variables in the Blood Claw Legion before, Gavin did not consider them at all.

Instead, they are preparing to use these equipment to arm the immigrant army and carry out armed immigration.

However, many of the pieces of equipment were engraved with exclusive symbols. Gavin handed them over to Zalanda first and asked her to help organize a large number of blacksmiths to clear them out.

Now that it is handed over to the Blood Claws, not only can they better exert their power, but there are also fewer concerns than before. After all, the radiation influence range of the Zhentarim is mainly in the north, and the claws have not yet reached areas dominated by monsters such as the Giant Plains.

"It should be so." Zaranda also agreed to this use plan.

"This military strategy book, you can study it in your spare time." Gavin handed a book to the earth elf warlord and said, "This is the war strategy of the lady of strategy. It will be helpful for you to read it more."

This war strategy is naturally not the original version of Zaranda, but a transcribed version, without any magical power.

However, for a general who commands battles completely by instinct and experience, it is still very useful, at least it can broaden his tactical command ideas.

"Thank you, Lord, for your generous gift." Blood Claw respectfully took the book from Gavin. Although he did not read it, since the other party explained it solemnly, it must be something extraordinary, especially when it comes to a goddess who takes strategy as her priesthood, she must have her own unique views on war.

"Do you have any shortage of food? What do you need me to prepare for you?" Gavin asked.

From the beginning, the Blood Claw Legion did not bring sufficient food on the road, but fought to support the war, and found ways to solve the problem from the monster tribes and wild creatures.

But there are some things that cannot be effectively replenished, such as salt.

As expected, Blood Claw answered without thinking: "Salt, a lot of salt. The weather is hot now, the soldiers sweat a lot, and meat is not easy to store for a long time. It must be pickled with salt."

Gavin turned his eyes to Zalanda. Such daily necessities can only be solved by her, the local snake.

Zalanda thought for a while and said: "Give me three days, I will find a way to raise a batch of salt."

Obviously, it is not easy for her to get a large amount of salt out of nowhere.

The salt in Furen is mainly sea salt.

Because it is surrounded by the sea on all sides and there is the world's largest inland sea, the Falling Star Sea, inland, most areas are not short of salt.

The Is River, which Dalaoma relies on, flows directly into the sea, and there are no major terrain fluctuations along the way. Under normal circumstances, there is no shortage of salt.

At least before Zalanda took over, there was no shortage.

However, as the warlords and nobles launched an economic blockade against it, the originally cheap salt began to become scarce.

Gavin naturally understood Zalanda's predicament and said: "You help General Blood Claw prepare enough for them to sweep through the Giant Plains again. The rest can be sent to the cities along the Dragon Lake. Buy more and bring it back. On the one hand, it will supplement Dalaoma's use, and on the other hand, it will prepare for the immigration army."

Although the name of Dragon Lake is a lake, it is actually part of the sea. It is directly connected to the Falling Star Sea through the Dragon Lake Strait. Opposite it is Cormier, covering the entire southern part of the Purple Dragon Kingdom.

"This is a good idea. Do you send someone to purchase? Or should I send someone?" Zalanda asked.

Of course, the matter of purchasing cannot be left to Blood Claw and others. They can only rob.

"Send someone. I don't have any talent to show for this." As his strength continued to grow, Gavin felt that the available talents in his hands were not increasing, but becoming less and less.

In addition to the fact that his territory was too scattered, his main subjects were unconventional races and too specialized, which made them extremely powerful in certain aspects, which normal humans could not match, such as the advantages of tree people's size, the advantages of fairy planting, the advantages of dog-headed people in mining and digging, and the advantages of woad tree people in wood shaping, etc.

But in some things, he couldn't entrust them with important tasks.

This was the case with trade and procurement.

He increasingly felt the need to establish his own official caravan.

"Okay." Zalanda agreed readily.

"It's not a good idea to keep being strangled by them like this." Gavin took the opportunity to change the topic to Zalanda's predicament, "Why not take the opportunity to break this blockade."

Zalanda's eyes fell on Blood Claw involuntarily, and he said thoughtfully: "You mean, you want to use General Blood Claw to put pressure on Saradas?"

"That's right." Gavin waved his hand, and a large military map of Tesser appeared in front of everyone, "Most of the military towns in Tesser are concentrated in the western coast and the Three Rivers Basin. This direction is very important.

But in the west, there is only one Saradas. Although they have It has the best heavy cavalry in Tethyr, but it is also isolated and helpless. When General Blood Claw leads his troops south, we can surround it on three sides.

General Blood Claw and his legion are not within the scope of Tethyr's peace agreement.

As long as it is torn into pieces, the east will be completely opened up, and the so-called economic blockade of Tethyr's warlords and nobles will no longer exist. "

Originally, Gavin and his team only planned to throw the Blood Claw Legion into the Marching Mountains as a chess piece for internal and external cooperation. Even if they did not completely solve the goblin disaster in the Marching Mountains, they had to effectively suppress it and win a longer period of peaceful development for themselves.

Unexpectedly, Blood Claw brought them a surprise. Its power expanded at such a fast speed that it could completely become a spoiler of the war situation in Tethyr and destroy the situation in Tethyr under their control.

"This is indeed a way to break the situation, but if you really want to threaten Saradas, General Blood Claw's current military strength is far from enough. "Zaranda shook his head and said, "Although Saradas is only one city, their foundation is beyond your imagination.

They not only have the best heavy cavalry in Tethyr, but also a large number of monster mercenaries. As far as I know, they also have a legion of no less than 5,000 hobgoblins stationed in the Omlalan Mountains all year round. "

"So many?" Gavin's expression changed slightly, "You mean, the Omlalan Mountains are not only not a threat to them, but are under their control?"

"Yes." Zalanda nodded and said, "The Omlalan Mountains produce a kind of gem called Omlalan, which has a special effect on mages. It has always been expensive and in short supply. The original mining rights were directly managed by the royal family, and the Saradas family assisted in management.

Even so, the Saradas family became the first family in Tethyr after the royal family, supporting a heavy cavalry of more than 3,000 people all year round, shocking the surrounding areas.

The sign of the decline of the royal family was that they lost the mining rights of the Omlalan gem more than half a century ago.

Although the blame was pushed onto the hobgoblins in the Omlalan Mountains, everyone knew that the Saradas family was the instigator of all this.

It took them only half a year to recapture the Omlalan gem mines, but they never intended to return them to the royal family.

In the first few years, they would pay a part of the gem tax to show their loyalty to the royal family. In the end, they directly intercepted all taxes in the name of the serious monster disasters in the surrounding areas and the need to expand their armaments, including the taxes in the later period of Dalauma, which were not handed over to the royal family, but to Saradas.

After half a century, they only had 5,000 heavy cavalry in the open, and they were the kings of eastern Tethyr.

The reason why they didn't move me or Dalauma was not because they didn't have the strength, nor was it simply limited by the agreement of Ms. Strategy.

Instead, they needed a spoiler to completely disrupt the situation in Tethyr so that they could gain more power from it.

If we turn our troops against them first, what do you think they would react? "

Although Feren originally did not have a systematic strategy priesthood and military books.

But the actual strategy and military tactics are still very good.

The Saradas family has successively used a series of military strategies such as borrowing a knife to kill, raising the enemy to protect themselves, and holding the army to protect themselves.

"Sorry, I didn't do enough homework and took it for granted." Gavin said ashamedly.

The arrival of Blood Claw made him a little inflated, forgetting that military strength is compared.

Zaranda did not blame Gavin, but blamed himself: "This matter is my mistake. I failed to share the intelligence of the warlords and nobles in Tesser with you in time. In fact, when I first saw the intelligence about Saradas, I was also shocked. After all, this family has not performed very well in the history of Tesser. It has always been a mediocre border military family. "

"Then let's discuss this matter later. In the short term, it is still important to develop our own internal affairs. "

"We can't threaten Saradas in the short term, but we already have a way to bypass his blockade. "Zaranda said with a smile, "The Root of God has helped us create a natural forest road that can go directly from Dalauma to Misnoel. As long as you find a way to open up the forest passage to the Steam Lake, you can perfectly bypass the city of Saradas. Their heavy cavalry dare not rush into the dense forest rashly. "

"This is what I want to do. I will push this matter forward as soon as possible." Gavin laughed immediately.

In fact, they are already doing it.

Although Gavin is not in Misnoel, the work of dragging those dead trees through the shadows has been going on.

What limits the progress now is the speed at which Wu Liu transforms and extracts the power of the shadows.

At present, no better alternative has been found.

It can only be done bit by bit.

After being magnified ten times by the Tower of Domination, Wu Liu's conversion speed is not slow at all. The number of trees purified every day is in the hundreds, but it cannot withstand the large number and area that need to be purified.

In fact, this part is easy to say. As long as you work hard, you will finish it sooner or later.

The trouble is the road to the steam The forest passage to the lake is not far away, less than ten kilometers, and has not yet left the coverage of the ruling tower.

However, this involves the concept of the natural races in the forest. If the coordination is not good, the two sides may fall out, especially with the drow elves who are good at conspiracy and intrigue.

This matter cannot be done recklessly, and the right opportunity must be found.

It is a good direction to find a way to let the drow elves or Lord Medusa take the blame.

The three of them conducted a more in-depth discussion on a series of details such as the immigration route and immigration time, and reached a unified understanding to facilitate the simultaneous implementation of the plan.

Blood Claw finally said: "Please ask the Lord to come to the army for inspection."

"When I was in the rock land, I told you that as long as you come to Tethyr as agreed, this legion will be handed over to you for full responsibility. No matter how large the scale is, this promise will not change. I believe you will lead them well. "Gavin patted the hobgoblin warlord's sturdy arm affectionately again.

According to the current development model of the Blood Claw Legion, the speed of their soldiers' renewal is extremely fast.

After killing two or three more giants in the Giant Plains, no one knows how many hobgoblins and goblins there are.

Instead of wasting time on them, it is better to catch the Blood Claw.

As long as he is determined to follow me, the Blood Claw Legion will be mine.

If he has second thoughts, it will be useless just based on his brief contact with the Blood Claw Legion.

"Thank you for your trust, Lord. I will never let you down." Blood Claw showed a hint of excitement. It is always a good feeling to be trusted.
