Chapter 568 Far-reaching Impact

The person who arranged the troops was Catherine who had just arrived at the Conqueror's Army. It was not that she was the main person, but in this situation, Veronica was the second only to Gavin. Normally, when Gavin could not preside over the meeting in person, she would convene such a temporary battlefield meeting, but her dual identity determined that when the first voter of the Lady of Strategy was present, her opinions must be listened to.

Once Catherine intervened, no one else would have the opportunity to speak. Everyone was convinced by her arrangement. She was very familiar with the expertise and abilities of these generals of the Conqueror's Army. The tasks she arranged were flawless and comprehensive. They only needed to proceed according to the plan.

"Lord, you are back. What happened just now?"

"Where is Arms? Lord, did you kill him completely?"

"Was it Arms' trap just now? Did he drag the Lord into the Shadow Plane?"

"When we found out that the Lord and the City Hall had all disappeared, we were almost scared to death."

When everyone saw Gavin suddenly appear out of nowhere, their eyes immediately turned to him, with undisguised concern and curiosity.

Compared to the extremely nervous paladins and Tempus believers, the high-ranking officials of the Conqueror Army were not too surprised to hear that Gavin suddenly disappeared under their heavy protection, because this matter itself was what they had been planning all along - sending Gavin to the Necromancer and letting them have a king-to-king battle.

They knew Gavin's strength and trump cards very well, but the only thing they didn't expect was that the way it unfolded was so strange, not only did Gavin disappear out of nowhere, but even the City Hall followed.

Before this, they had already speculated that the two were probably dragged into the Shadow Plane or the mezzanine, which was a common thing.

Everyone's eyes could not help but pass Gavin and fall on the City Hall that reappeared with him.

The shrouded black fog had completely dissipated, revealing the stone body, which was overall blue-gray and still exuded a cold breath, like a dormant super-giant monster, as if it wanted to swallow the enemy into its stomach.

Daniel, Veronica, Nora and other people who had been to the Three Rivers and seen the Vizeme Manor looked at each other in surprise, because they felt a very familiar feeling on it. This was clearly a replica of the Vizeme Manor - not the shape, but the breath emanating from it.

Could it be that the lord transformed this undead nest into a new Vizeme Manor?

Although their guess was not right, it was not far-fetched, and it was even more unique than they imagined.

Gavin explained lightly: "It wasn't exactly the opponent's trap just now, but the shadow power I guided collided with the opponent, and the resulting devouring struggle involved both the enemy and us. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and killed the main culprit, Arms, who was disguised as an Akchaza evil beast ghost."

To prove his words, Gavin threw out the broken body of Arms.

As for killing and destroying the evil beast ghost's devil mark and soul consciousness, he didn't mention it too much. Some things can be made in silence, and there is no need to make everyone know.

Even some middle and high-level people in the Conqueror Army only know that Gavin controls a legendary six-armed snake demon, but they don't know that she has two forms, and they don't know that Gavin has the ability to cut off the devil's mark, destroy evil, and destroy those powerful evil souls.

"The Lord is as powerful as ever. He killed an evil beast ghost with at least quasi-legendary strength."

"Normal. This necromancer can only exert one tenth of his true strength against the Lord and the real shadow army he leads. On the contrary, the Lord has his own unique advantages."

"In this way, we won a great victory in this battle. The evil of Avanso has been completely eradicated by us."

Everyone was sincerely impressed. Gavin said it easily, but they could not understand it. After all, the other party was a quasi-legendary necromancer, and an evil beast ghost known for his insidiousness and cunningness. He not only had powerful strength, but also was good at various tricks. If you want to defeat him, it is not enough to have strength alone, but also to have enough wisdom.

Regardless of what everyone thought, Gavin looked at Catherine and said, "Madam, how is the situation over there?"

Don't think that when he talked to Arms before, he was so confident, as if he had seen the Goliath Corps led by Catherine escape with his own eyes. That was just to hit the other side's morale. Before seeing the final result, the whole person's heart was hanging.

Before Catherine could praise him, Kailisha on the side answered first: "This time, thanks to Ms. Catherine's foresight, after realizing that the city fog barrier was lifted by the lord, she immediately took us out of the underground without any casualties. Otherwise, our entire corps would be buried alive by this group of cunning undead."

Just as Gavin guessed, Catherine did use the ability of the elect to deploy troops and bring them out from the underground.

As the situation developed, they changed from the main attack route to a bait route. The main purpose was to make Arms believe that they had fallen into his trap. From the beginning, it was not about how much casualties they brought to the enemy. As long as they could confuse the enemy and evacuate safely, it would be the greatest victory.

The first voter of the strategic lady added: "It was not that I calculated the enemy's plan, but simply wanted to avoid the enemy's intentional layout, and accidentally broke the enemy's trap."

"Anyway, this happened thanks to the presence of the lady." Gavin thanked her sincerely and turned to ask Veranika, "Did the process of seizing the city go smoothly? Has the opponent's undead transformation circle been activated?"

His main concern is the latter. Once Arms transforms the citizens of Ivanso on a large scale, even if they capture Ivanso, their victory will be greatly compromised.

"Regarding the undead transformation circle, what we received is false information. There is only an empty shell there, and it does not have the ability to quickly transform all the citizens of Ivanso into undead. Even their deadly poison is not as powerful as we expected. It's so strong that you can suppress it with just the Life Berry. You don't even need to take the antidote. Grace has been setting up a trap for us from beginning to end. We shouldn't believe what those evil people say." Veranika said to Grace from beginning to end. Full of distrust, not to mention, now that there is actual evidence that she cannot be trusted, it is natural to belittle her.

Gavin corrected: "These bureaus were not set up by Grace, but by Arms. She was kept in the dark from beginning to end. She became a tool in Arms' hands, and even her remaining kindness was destroyed." I took advantage of it, because she didn’t die in my hands. After she delivered the message to us, she was imprisoned by Arms using the Soul Confinement Technique.”

Seeing that Shantara Ye and Ruina Fan were not present, Gavin simply took out the crystal ball that imprisoned Grace and showed it to everyone.

"They say the devil is treacherous and untrustworthy, but I didn't expect him to be so treacherous. Even the people around him will use his tricks to make calculations. Fortunately, we have made many preparations. Otherwise, even if we are not tricked by him, we will suffer heavy casualties."

Everyone couldn't help but feel emotional, and had a deeper understanding of the devil's cruelty and cunning.

"Where is Ms. Yeshandara and her Avengers Resistance Army?" Gavin asked.

"They are local people. I sent them to appease the citizens of Ivanso." Catherine replied.

"Ma'am, the arrangement is very appropriate." Gavin nodded, and took the opportunity to learn about the other arrangements that Catherine had made before. They were all careful and reasonable. Even if he made it himself, he would not make any changes.

The number of casualties that Gavin was most concerned about was quickly calculated. There were no civilian casualties. There were hundreds of casualties among the siege soldiers. There were more casualties than others. They were all resurrected on the spot. It can be said that there were no casualties.

The casualties on Ivanso's side were heavy. Those spiritual undead left only a pile of ghost dust after death. They were easily mixed or lost. There is no way to completely count them. Anyway, the ghosts collected by the conqueror's army Dust is already measured in kilograms. Under normal circumstances, this thing is measured in grams. Theoretically, an undead can produce up to twenty-three grams of ghost dust. This is the highest weight of the soul, usually one gram per life die, until until the theoretical upper limit is reached.

The number of cannon fodder such as skeleton soldiers and zombies reached three thousand. Apart from being used for burning and landfilling, these things had no value. Naturally, no one cared about their specific number.

Secondly, there are the elite bone claws, there are many of them, including the one that Gavin killed in the shadow duel, more than a hundred. All the corpses were dragged back to Myth Noel by the shadow and stored separately. .

If a method for refining bone claws can be developed in the future, it may have reuse value.

As long as it does not involve the study of living bodies, something that is outraged by both humans and gods, in Faerun, the use of corpses, especially monster corpses, to make undead soldiers can be tolerated and accepted in most areas, but in a few areas, especially the fair In a city dominated by the forces of good, doing this is simply making yourself uncomfortable.

Wezeme Manor is destined to be inseparable between Gavin and the undead, and the battle of Ivanso proves that even the power of death can be used for good causes, and it also has its own unique advantages. Now that we have A good start, Gavin and the others will naturally make full use of this.

In addition, there were nearly a thousand casualties of ordinary Ivanso citizens. They were mainly driven to the city wall by Ivanso's undead commanders to help operate the city defense equipment and accidentally injured when they were used as hostages.

There is no way to avoid this. The only thing that can be done is to treat as much as possible afterwards to reduce the mortality rate. Even so, more than 600 people died.

Even so, the entire citizens of Ivanso welcomed the army of conquerors.

The dead rule over the living.

This is completely against the normal rules.

Even if Arms and the others tried their best to show a fair and strict attitude in Ivanso in order to maintain their pretense, that was just the appearance, and deep down they still had that high-pressure reign of terror.

They only need Ivanso to maintain superficial stability and stability, but they don't care about the citizens' happiness index and the like.

The most important thing is that being together with the undead all year round has caused their bodies and souls to be eroded by negative energy to varying degrees, which has led to a series of problems.

For example, many citizens are weak and sick, especially diseases related to negative energy. Once an outbreak occurs, it will be large-scale and cannot be healed for a long time. And there are no kind-hearted priests here who can cast healing spells on them.

Another example is that the old, weak, sick and disabled are more likely to die, and the possibility of turning into the undead after death has increased significantly. These citizens of Ivanso did not have the opportunity to bury their loved ones. All the dead citizens were taken away by the authorities. The result is known even without asking. They must have been transformed into undead, which is why Arms has so many ghosts and ghosts under his command, most of them are the original citizens of Ivanso.

In addition, there are a series of problems such as a sharp decline in fertility and a sharp increase in infant mortality.

There is no need for Gavin to ask. The holy warriors led by Daniel will automatically help the citizens of Avonso to purify and heal. This is their sacred duty.

Anna, who has been promoted to the quartermaster of the Conqueror Army, is also unwilling to lag behind. She leads the priests and medical teams of the entire Conqueror Army to treat diseases and disasters without reward. This certainly spreads their faith in God, but also earns a lot of good reputation for the Conqueror Army. Many citizens who are already afraid of Avonso directly choose to join the Conqueror Army and prepare to leave here together.

This is also an expected gain.

The news that the Conqueror Army captured Avonso in just half a day with a complete victory and swept away the necromancers here was like wings. It not only spread throughout the entire Dragon Coast in a very short time, but also crossed the ocean to the Kingdom of Cormier, to Sembia, and to the Valley.

…

The capital of Sambia, Odulin, the auditorium.

Another emergency meeting was held again, and the citizens of Odulin were used to it, because in recent times, merchants have held emergency meetings quite frequently, and the only issue discussed was the flood problem of the Asaba River.

This year's rainy season in Komanso is particularly long, and the rainfall is also particularly heavy, which has far exceeded the highest level in normal times, catching up with last year's level - last year's rainfall was not normal, which involved the turmoil stirred up by the gods' coming, and the revenge of the gods of nature on Sambia.

Last year, the Asaba River burst, and the great impact on Sambia has not completely subsided until now, and many merchants still remember the scene at that time.

So, this time, the Sambian Merchant Council was unprecedentedly united and efficient, organizing and mobilizing a large number of citizens and mercenaries to go to the dangerous river section to consolidate the dam and guard the dike, successfully preventing the danger of dike bursting more than a dozen times.

But this time, what made them hold an emergency meeting was not the danger of the Asaba River bursting again, but the news from the other side of Long Lake.

"We must not allow such a large number of immigrants to successfully reach the Battle Valley and enter the Three Rivers. What has enabled us to firmly suppress the valley over the years?

It is the blood-sucking and division tactics formulated by our founders, which continuously suck blood from the valley, transform their population into our population, absorb their wealth into our wealth, create conflicts between the sub-valleys, and make it impossible for them to unite.

Their population, which has never been able to grow, limits their upper limit, making it impossible for them to fight against us.

But if this army of conquerors returns to the valley, it will completely tear apart our previous core tactics.

Their common origin and large-scale immigration will make their unity far higher than that of ordinary people, and it will be difficult to divide them. A substantial increase will make it difficult for us to use them.

And their number is too terrifying, enough to replace the total population of half of the sub-valley. Once they really migrate here, whether they want it or not, the surrounding sub-valleys will certainly take them as the leader.

And the geographical advantage of the Three Rivers is too good. With the Ashaba River, he can influence and control seven or eight sub-valleys.

You have all seen the means and abilities of that young knight. As long as he is given a certain amount of time, he can realize the wish that the Cloak King Anka has not been able to realize, and he may even become the king of the valley.

Where will we go in Sambia at that time? "

The person who made a long speech was none other than Councillor Kendrick. Now he has changed his relatively mild attitude towards the Three Rivers and the Vizeme Manor and has become an out-and-out war party.

His attitude is not even a change. He chose to treat the newly rising knight in the valley with that attitude because the other party was not even a hidden danger, but at best a relatively powerful object of embezzlement.

It is not a wise choice to swallow such a person alive. The best choice is to use soft knives or their best way of winning over and corrupting him, turning him into one of them, and playing the other party to death with their best political games.

The rich ruling class in Sembia is not harmonious, but full of a lot of oppression and plunder. The winner gets everything, and the loser will be cleared out of the ruling class, and losing his life is not uncommon.

It's just that this kind of oppression and plunder is not carried out at will, but under certain rules, and their Merchant Council is the maker, guardian and user of this rule.

But the situation is different now. Gavin, who has the Conqueror Army, can really threaten Sembia, especially the biggest impact on their encroachment plan in the valley.

"Councilman Kendrick put it simply. How can we stop such an armed immigrant? A city run by necromancers for many years can't even stop them for half a day, let alone a field battle."

"That's right. Even Ximen is thinking about how to protect himself and how to drive them away, instead of gathering all his strength to fight them and completely defeat them. The local forces of the Dragon Coast are like this, so what can we do across the Dragon Lake? If we send ordinary mercenaries over, I'm afraid that they will be defeated and reorganized by them like last time, and become part of their forces."

"It doesn't have to be done on the Dragon Coast. If they want to return to the valley, there are only two ways to go."

"Which two ways?"
