Chapter 512: Choosing a location to build a city is not just a strategy

"Choose a place to build a city?"

"What do you mean, ma'am? We won't migrate to the valley? We'll just take root here? Although the terrain here is suitable for survival, it has been deserted for so many years and no one has taken root here. There is a reason for that. There are not only Giant Plains here, but also Troll Mountains, Giant Running Mountains, and Snowflake Mountains. Surrounding these three mountain ranges are an astonishing number of monsters. If we build a city here, we will face endless harassment until every drop of our blood is squeezed out."

"I think the Chief of Staff's choice of a place to build a city is a strategy to lure out all the trolls of the Kingdom of Howling Dwarves and attack us in the positions we have arranged."

"Yes, I think so too. What happened to Dalaoma will also happen to the Kingdom of Howling Dwarves, especially in such a short period of time, with such a large population increase. The trolls are a notoriously lazy, unproductive, and food-free race. In a few days, they will have to face a famine. They will definitely not be able to hold on. Come and attack us. "

"Has the Lord thought of this a long time ago? Therefore, buying so much food and crossbow weapons in Retaven is enough for us to fight a protracted war here. "

"If we really build a city to fight a protracted war, I suggest that General Blood Claw continue to lead the team to sweep the Giant Plains, on the one hand to absorb more troops to enrich themselves, on the other hand to drive more enemies to the Wailing Dwarves, let them continue to expand, enhance their self-confidence, and increase their food crisis. "

"Aren't you worried that their power will grow beyond our ability to cope with it? "

"Don't worry, their original size determines that they have a carrying limit. Once the carrying limit is reached, they will either fall into internal power struggles or transfer this internal contradiction and wage war externally. There is no third possibility. Either way, it is very beneficial to us. "

Veronica just started it, and the others talked about it and pieced together her plan.

The opinions were surprisingly consistent. They all agreed with this plan. The replenishment of materials in Retaven gave them the confidence to fight a protracted war.

Moreover, there is no clear time limit for their migration. Even if it takes a year to bring all the immigrants to the valley, it will be a great victory for them.

If they only take one month to bring the immigrants, but most of the population is lost, it will be a complete failure, and the immigration will not be able to continue.

Seeing that the others did not raise new ideas, Veronica continued: "What you said is only part of it. This city is not just a plan, but we really want to build it. The shortcomings you mentioned are all for humans. What if this city is handed over to General Blood Claw?"

This time Veronica did not wait for others to discuss, and directly pointed to the military map on the ground and said: "Look at the terrain here.

The distance between here and Retaven and Avanso is almost equal, both between 300 kilometers and 400 kilometers.

If you want to activate the migration route, there must be a city here that can not only withstand all risks, but also fight to support the war here, and continue to grow and develop. .

This is something that human cities cannot do.

You can only build a city of hobgoblins that are good at fighting and like fighting.

With this city, human cities can be expanded to the south without worries.

If a trade route leading directly to the Deep Flow Lake Cross-Lake Bridge is built here, you can directly bypass the Snowflake Mountains and cut into the Weihong Road.

On one side is a smooth road with no monster harassment, but you only need to detour for more than 100 kilometers.

On the other side is a rugged mountain road with many monsters.

It goes without saying what those merchants will choose.

By then, this will become an important commercial city no less important than Ruitawen.

For ease of management, we can build a twin city, one part of which is composed and managed by humans. , they are mainly engaged in trade, and the other part is the earth elf camp, which is mainly engaged in combat. Their supply is all provided by the human part. "

"That's right, only a strong army, repeatedly sweeping the Giant Plains, can ensure that no more monster tribes will breed, and can ensure the safety of the migration route. General Blood Claw and the Blood Claw Legion are perfect. This plan kills two birds with one stone."

"With so much manpower and material resources, plus the help of so many unusual races, our speed of building the city will inevitably be extraordinary. It is not impossible to build a city in a few months."

"Mr. Chief of Staff, you are worthy of being the third lord knight of Ms. Strategy. You are really extraordinary. One plan, It covers so many things. "

"I have no objection to the other parts of this plan, but I think the Twin Cities need to be discussed. Doing so will easily leave troubles. If you want a city to prosper, the financial and military power must be unified.

I know that the Chief of Staff wants to do this to facilitate trade, but if it costs the future of a city, it is not worth it.

As long as the city is convenient and safe enough, I believe that the businessmen will ignore the small flaw that this is a goblin city. "

"Your discussion direction is a bit far-fetched. That is a long-term plan with many variables. We can wait until we defeat the enemies of the short-term plan before deciding. "

"Haha, the main reason is that the chief of staff's plan is so touching that people can't help but follow it. Yes, these are too far away. We should focus on the present. Lord, what do you think?"

Everyone's eyes are focused on Gavin, and the final decision depends on him.

"Lord City Lord, what do you think about this?" Gavin did not express his opinion directly, but turned to ask Zalanda for his opinion.

Because the original purpose of transferring Blood Claw to Tethyr was not to immigrate, but to solve the problem of goblins in the marching mountains.

Zalanda obviously knew what Gavin was referring to, and said with a smile: "The plan is not static. Of course, we must choose the one with greater benefits for us. It is not the bloodclaw general who can disrupt the situation in the marching mountains. In the future, we can completely start from the blood." General Claw dispatched a hobgoblin army to assist.

But the situation here must be determined by the generals. If they become bigger and stronger here, it will be extremely beneficial to Darauma.

Not only will we have a new trade route that can lead to the Dragon Bay and the Weihong Sea.

The city of Retavon in Amn will be outflanked by us, and many things must be tilted towards us.

In addition, it is also beneficial to subsequent immigrants. From Darauma to here, it has become a smooth and low-risk road. Those who intend to immigrate can reach here along the migration path by bringing their own food. "

Gavin nodded, indicating that he understood Zalanda's intention. He turned his attention to the direct party, the hobgoblin warlord, and asked, "What is the general's opinion on this?"

In the eyes of many people, Gavin's question was obviously a bit redundant.

Blood Claw's opinions were displayed uncontrollably on his face. His already red face turned even redder, and his long pointed nose sprayed hot breath.

Veranika's analysis is correct. For humans, this place is an out-and-out hell Shura field.

But for the hobgoblins, this is paradise, because the kingdom of Magrubit, the powerful god of their race, is in the Shura plane, and they face endless wars every day.

What attracted Bloodclaw the most was the characteristics of the hobgoblin giants produced in the Giant Plains.

A battle group of one hundred hobgoblin giants made him invincible.

What if there are one thousand or ten thousand?

Just thinking about it makes people so excited that they can’t help themselves.

But if you want to build a city, you can't do it without Gavin's support.

He is good at leading troops in battles, but asking him to actually build a fortress is beyond his capabilities.

Especially as the number of troops under his leadership increased, he also clearly felt the pressure of logistical supplies.

When there were a few thousand people, he could still support them through robbery, but as the population began to approach the tens of thousands mark, this method alone was not enough. Stable and reliable logistical supplies were necessary.

This is also an important reason why monster tribes, whose number rarely exceeds tens of thousands, establish their own country.

Because they are not good at large-scale farming and production, after reaching a certain number, internal strife and division will easily occur in order to survive.

Not to mention building a city, even if the Blood Claw Legion wants to further develop and grow, it must firmly embrace Gavin's thigh.

Therefore, even though there is endless desire in his heart, Blood Claw said with great respect: "We obey all arrangements of the lord."

Bloodclaw's answer was beyond many people's expectations.

I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in my heart. This was a decent answer, but it was much better than simply approving the construction of the city.

Promoting the construction of the city is not the first thing he needs to do. Making sure that after the city is built, he is the supreme leader here is what he needs to do.

Gavin originally wanted to buy a bicycle but ended up buying a Rolls-Royce. This was not the first time that Gavin had encountered this situation. He had become accustomed to it and directly said: "Okay, we will build the city here, but before that, there is another problem. Where is the city built?"

Veranika, who was the first to propose this plan, said: "This city is a city of four wars, and defense is the top priority. It must not be placed in an open and unobstructed area. This place is backed by the remnants of the Snowflake Mountains. I suggest Pick the right location in that direction.”

"It's useless to talk about this kind of thing. Send out all the aerial scouts, especially those Erd and Harpy Kobolds, and let them survey the surrounding area. They have certain professionalism in this matter, Su Commander Xi, all members of your Trap Legion are involved in this matter, and you are responsible for it, especially in places suitable for establishing quarries. "Gavin believes more in the intuition and professionalism of the kobolds in this matter. These kobolds were cultivated by themselves.

"Yes." Susie stood up and responded.

"Are there any other things to discuss?" Gavin's eyes swept over everyone, "If not, let's break up the meeting and start preparing for the construction of the city!"

"Did Lord Lord forget something?" Carissa asked eagerly, "Where is our friendship competition?"

"I haven't forgotten, but after putting this matter into perspective, I found that your fighting relies more on the expertise and instincts brought by professional levels and lacks systematic training. Now in the competition, you are competing more on this ability. , many people in Goliath started the mountain resonance.

With only a little height advantage, it is difficult for the hobgoblin giant to get benefits in front of you. Why don't you wait until I sort out a systematic training method. After you have finished training, it will not be too late to compete again. "

The previous battle with the hobgoblin giant made Gavin realize many things that the legendary warrior did not possess.

Because at that time, he was not able to open the extraordinary body. He felt that many of his movements could not only be faster and shorter, but could even attract the surrounding magic elements to enhance his attacks.

This made him feel that it was necessary to explore the routines of boxing and swordsmanship to see if new things could be born.

After Gavin said this, Kaelissa couldn't help but recall his previous fighting style. The complicated changes and the clean and neat level were indeed not available when they fought.

Even if she was replaced, the result would not be much better than the earth giant. If they could learn this skill, their combat effectiveness could indeed be improved. She responded readily: "I have no objection, what about General Blood Claw?"

"I will also obey the arrangements of the lord." Blood Claw is now completely aligned with Gavin.

"Then each of us should do our own job and do what is right." Gavin waved his hand to announce the dissolution of this meeting.

When the migrants knew that they were not going to continue to move forward but to build a city here, they did cause quite a commotion, but it did not get out of control. Instead, they were appeased by a series of appeasement policies that Gavin and his team adopted.

First of all, they did not build the city for free, but were paid, ranging from a few silver coins to a few gold coins, depending on the type of work. Even those who did nothing had a minimum retention fee, and all of them would be accumulated and settled together after they went to the new territory.

In fact, not only was there a fee for building the city, but all the work they did along the way was rewarded.

To manage humans, they naturally followed the human way, the more you work, the more you get, and if you don't work, you get nothing. At most, you can give preferential treatment in some policies, but you can never give it away for free. Long-term unearned gains will only cultivate a group of termites.

Secondly, the distance they have walked now is too far. Even if they return to Retaven, it is nearly 300 kilometers. Not to mention that the food is in Gavin's hands, even if it is in their own hands, they don't have the courage to turn back alone.

Once again, the force displayed by the migrating army was strong enough. It was not the monsters that came to harass them, but they attacked frantically, driving the monster tribes on the Giant Plains away in a panic.

Especially when the address for building the city was chosen, the entire migrating army drove over, and the building-type boxcars formed a wall one after another, blocking the valley entrance tightly. After the safety factor was raised, even the side car corps and the Nott Guards Corps began to cooperate with the three major corps of the Blood Claw Corps to attack and further expand the results of the battle.

The Blood Claw Corps has now been managed into a pure earth elf corps, only incorporating goblin humanoids (goblins, earth elves, bear goblins and earth elf giants). As for other monster races, they were either killed on the spot or driven towards the direction of the Troll Mountains.

The news that a troll empire rose here had spread throughout the Giant Plains.

Whether it was out of a common hatred for the Blood Claw Corps or out of fear of the trolls, if you don't want to be treated as dinner by them, joining them is the best choice.

Faced with the endless stream of monsters that actively surrendered, the noble trolls of the Kingdom of Howling Dwarves were overjoyed at first. After all, the more troops they had, the stronger they would be.

But when the Howling Dwarf City was filled with all kinds of monsters, with three big fights a day and five small fights half a day, turning the already smoky Troll Kingdom into a hell on earth, the noble trolls who lacked ruling experience finally realized that something was wrong.

If this continued, they would have to fight among themselves first.

Especially when the latest news about the migrating army came, these noble trolls were directly blown up.

"What did you say? Those humans won't leave? They're starting to build a city over at the Snowflake Mountains?" A sharp roar of howling sounded from the top of the Dwarf City, filled with disbelief, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I'm definitely not mistaken, I escaped from the Blood Gorge, those humans were really cruel, they blocked the gorge with trucks as high as the city walls, except for the goblin-like creatures that were willing to surrender, all the rest were killed, our entire tribe, all became dead souls, I swear in the name of Gruumsh, I, Leslie, will definitely make those lowly humans pay the price." The orc giant, who was half a body taller than a normal orc, took out the dagger he carried with him at the end, cut a heavy scar on his face, and swore angrily.

This is a sacred ritual of the orcs, called the Scarface Revenge Oath.

Before revenge, this scar will not be healed, even by divine magic.

"Cody, Cody, don't sleep anymore. Didn't you swear before that those humans would cross the plains and pass by our kingdom not far away? They were food delivered to our door? How do you explain it now?" The sharp voice roared again. In order to vent his anger, he turned his head and bit the troll head next to him, making him scream and dodge everywhere. However, they shared the same body and there was no way to avoid the bite of the other head. He could only hit it back with force.

Before the discussion started, the two leaders of the Troll Kingdom started fighting.

Except for the orc giant named Leslie who was a little stunned, the other trolls were used to it.

Although they shared the same body, the two troll heads had their own consciousness. Most two-headed creatures have such characteristics.

The same is true for the two-headed troll named Cody and Corey. To be more precise, it is a noble two-headed troll, because this troll has a larger body than ordinary trolls, and is more than four meters and five meters tall. Unlike ordinary trolls who are thin and hunched, he is fat and strong, a bit like an ogre, which shows that he lives a comfortable life, usually has plenty of food, and rarely uses his regeneration ability - the regeneration ability of trolls requires the use of their own energy reserves.

Through the size of a troll, you can judge how he lives. A thin troll must be very miserable, and a fat troll must not be much worse.

Corey and Cody collided for four or five rounds in a row, screaming in pain, and then stopped this chaotic fight.
