Chapter 594: Setting off again

In a world full of dangers and frequent battles, the number of limbless people is absolutely a terrifying number. In the end, it directly shocked the ruling class of the Dragon Coast. They chased and intercepted those limbless people who took the initiative to join the Conqueror Army. Even so, when the Conqueror Army set out again, there were 3,000 more limbless people.

The method of the rulers of the Dragon Coast was only a temporary solution. They could stop those limbless people for a while, but they could not stop them forever. As long as they were eager to repair their broken limbs, they would find ways to join the Conqueror Army. They would just find an opportunity in the future and run to the valley to apply for joining, unless they could use free regeneration to help them heal their broken limbs like the Conqueror Army did.

Of course, the treatment of the Conqueror Army was not really free, especially for those who received regeneration. According to how much they spent on them, the Conqueror Army signed employment agreements with them for different lengths of time, the shortest was three years, and the longest was up to twenty years. Before the expiration of the contract, they must unconditionally obey the Conqueror Army's dispatch.

Since this employment agreement was signed at normal salary, in the eyes of the signatories, this kind of healing is free. It is natural to work for the Conqueror Army in the future. Now it is just an additional employment agreement.

When the Conqueror Army left Dalaoma, there were 18,000 people in total. Some of them joined along the way, especially in Retaven, where more than 1,000 people were added. In addition, when they joined the Blood Claw Legion and the three major Kobold Corps, their population reached about 21,000 when they arrived at Avanso.

When they left Avanso, their total population had more than doubled.

Among them, 7,000 came from the citizens of Avanso, 10,000 came from the war compensation of the Dragon Bay, 3,000 came from the limbless people who came to their door, and more than 2,000 were recruited by the Conqueror Army from major cities before they fell out with the ruling forces of the Dragon Coast.

The Conqueror's army originally had an overstaffed team of 100 men, and this time they took the opportunity to disband it, using veterans to lead new recruits, and mixed immigrants from Dalaoma and those from the Dragon Coast in half and half. The 100-man team was expanded from the original 100 to 300, and the vehicle configuration was basically similar to when they first set out, including the number of building-type chariots and side-carriage vehicles, which increased from 100 to 300. They were naturally transported directly from Misnoel through the ability of shadow dragging.

So, when those people from the Dragon Coast saw the endless stream of vehicles coming out of Avanso, they couldn't help but wonder, did the Conqueror's army have so many super-large chariots at the beginning? Or did they build them here in Avanso? ​​The construction speed was a bit too fast.

With a popular base, the Conqueror's army naturally had to expand again.

The Nott heavy cavalry was expanded from 1,200 to 1,500. Compared with the number, the most important innovation was in the equipment. After all, Afonso was a trading city. All the official and private equipment depots were plundered by the Conqueror Army, which was enough to make the Nott heavy cavalry worthy of the name. From top to bottom, all of them were covered with knight heavy armor, and even a small number of elites were replaced with magic armor.

The number of the Wagon Vanguard Army remained unchanged, still 2,000, but half of them were newcomers, and the other half were drawn from them to form the second Wagon Vanguard Army with the same structure. The first Wagon Vanguard Army was named the Pioneer Vanguard Army, which means that they pioneered the legion structure model of the Wagon Vanguard Army.

The second Wagon Vanguard Army was named the Limbless Vanguard Army, because its main force was the Limbless Warriors who had received regeneration treatment and recovered. They used this name to commemorate their past and remember the kindness of the Conqueror Army to them.

The number of Goliath Corps and Giant Earth Corps remains the same. Regardless of their origin or their combat effectiveness, it is destined that it is very difficult for them to replenish their troops, but equipment is definitely a priority.

Due to the racial characteristics, the differences between the two sides are revealed.

The Goliath Corps prioritizes replenishing those powerful magic weapons to further strengthen their attack power, followed by those auxiliary magic items to strengthen their multiple abilities and survivability, and go further and further on the road of attacking the corps.

The Giant Earth Corps will not refuse suitable armor, and will arm themselves with everything they can find. Many of them have turned themselves into armored cans. With their terrifying body shape, they are small humanoid tanks on the battlefield. If you want to hurt them, you must first break their huge and heavy armor. Their development direction is comprehensive, both offensive and defensive. With the giant mounts of the Giant Plains, they can be used as super heavy cavalry.

The paladins of the Hammer of Justice led by Daniel did not form a separate corps, but were dispersed and integrated into various legions, even into the migrating hundred-man team, as battlefield medical soldiers.

This is beneficial to both parties. The Conqueror Army can obtain the help of healing and divine auxiliary spells from these paladins, and they take the opportunity to mingle with the people of the Conqueror Army, observe those warriors, and select the seedlings who can become paladins.

Paladins are not a profession that can be changed if you want to. In addition to the devout faith required by priests, they also need a firm and kind heart. Even in the face of countless difficulties and obstacles, they will never give up and never abandon this path.

As long as this kind of recruitment is voluntary, Gavin will not only not stop it, but will be happy to see it happen, because this is also a kind of further study. When they return after completing their studies, they will be the best judges and inspectors in the territory. This is no different from the training of officers in the Crimson War College, but the chosen path is different.

The Tempus believers of the Sword Monastery serve as the martial arts instructors of the three legions, and they are most rigorous in honing their combat skills, practicing while walking. As the saying goes, sharpening a spear before a battle is not fast, but it is bright.

Not only those warriors, but also those ordinary people are eager to learn combat skills. The Conqueror Army’s high-level officials have never hidden the conspiracy of the merchants of Sambia in the Goblin Border, but told the truth.

The Conqueror Army’s methods of doing things are constantly changing with its own size and achievements, just like it was called the Migrant Army at the beginning and the Conqueror Army now.

Because the self-confidence of those migrants and their sense of identity with the Conqueror Army are constantly changing.

If Gavin had told the people about the difficulties and obstacles they would encounter along the way when the Conqueror Army was just formed in Dalauma, I believe many people who were not firm in their belief in migration would have backed out on the spot.

Now it is different. With a brilliant record in front of them, a large number of personnel and countless material support, they can be said to be strong and powerful. Informing them of the dangers they are about to face will make them share the same hatred and increase the cohesion of the Conqueror Army from top to bottom. At the same time, it will also give them a certain sense of urgency, allowing them to race against time to enrich themselves in case of emergency.

"They are out, they are out, the Conqueror Army has left Avanso as promised."

"Great, it's really great, this group of invaders are finally leaving here."

"Everyone can't relax, keep an eye on their every move, who knows if they are really going to leave Dragon Coast, or suddenly attack other cities? Now there is no city in the entire Dragon Coast that can withstand their invasion."

"That's right, as long as they haven't crossed the Border Bridge, we can't take it lightly to prevent them from tearing up the contract."

The Conqueror Army's every move involves the hearts of the people of Dragon Coast from top to bottom, especially those Dragon Coast coalition forces who withdrew 50 kilometers as agreed, and their nerves are extremely tense.

You can believe in the contract, but you can't believe it completely. As long as the benefits are big enough, it is common to tear up the contract, because they often do it.

Countless sentinels and spies surrounded the Conqueror Army, and passed their every move to their lords in the fastest time.

The Conqueror Army ignored it directly. If they didn't do this, it would be abnormal.

"There are already 100 of those double-decker chariots, why are they still coming out? How many do they have now? How many people do they have now? 20,000? 30,000? Or 40,000?"

"At least 40,000 people. When they came, they claimed to have 20,000 people. They looted at least the same number from our Dragon Coast. I heard that most of the citizens of Avanso decided to migrate with them."

"Normal. After all, this place was almost turned into a ghost den by those necromancers. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely want to leave here. But if so, Avanso will really become a ghost town, and the population will not be as large as a large town."

"That's not necessarily true. The newly appointed Lord of Yeshandala imitated the Conqueror Army's methods and issued a migration notice in various cities and surrounding towns. It offers free housing and low-discount business rights for shops. For many people, it is very attractive. After all, Afonso's geographical location is here. It was originally an important transit city on the Traders' Avenue. Now there is another Conqueror's Road. It can be said that there are business opportunities everywhere. Many businessmen with vision will definitely come here to seize business opportunities. If they go too late, they may not even be able to grab shops with better geographical locations."

"Now that you say that, I am tempted. No one has a grudge against money. , after sending these plague gods away completely, we must go to Evanso first. If the discount is really that big, it will be worth our effort. "

"It is definitely worth it. As long as the city lord Ye Sandala is not stupid, in a few years, Evanso's current losses will not only be replenished intact, but will even be taken up several steps on this basis. This place will become a rich place. Tsk, the commander of the conqueror army is really not an ordinary person. Such a city is given away just like that. "

"Hey, do you think it's given away for free?"

"You mean, there is an inside story here?"

"Nonsense, do I need to say this? Why is this The city was not given to you or me, but to Yesendala? The former Avengers leader was a top beauty, even the Abyss Succubus would be jealous. "

"Isn't she disfigured? She was infected with the plague and corpse poison of Arms, and the look on her face made people shudder. "

"Your information is really outdated. Before Avanso was captured, her plague and corpse poison had been removed, and it was done by the commander of the Conqueror Army himself. "

"That's no wonder. Not to mention a city, even a country, a beauty like that can be easily taken as long as you are willing to spread your legs. "

"Stop talking nonsense here. If the commander of the Conqueror Army is really as bad as you say, do we need to be so passive and embarrassed? We just need to pick a bunch of beauties and give them to him. As long as he likes, even the real Abyss Succubus can get her."

"Just a joke, just a joke, don't take it so seriously."

"You have to be joking in different occasions and places. Do you really think the Conqueror Army is blind and deaf and can't see us? We can be here only because they allow us to be here. If they hear us criticizing their supreme commander here, how many heads do you think we have for them to chop off? If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

"The captain is right. We were reckless in this matter. Carry out the mission, carry out the mission, and shut up."

All kinds of discussions surrounded the Conqueror Army. Guessing their size is one thing, and seeing them is another.

The Conqueror's army, which set out from Afonso, took a full three hours just to leave the city. The entire army stretched for nearly ten kilometers, with shouts of people, neighs of horses, and moos of cows interweaving together, forming an extremely spectacular scene.

Although there were many people and vehicles, they were in order and obeyed orders.

Anyone who knew a little military knowledge could not help but feel cold in their hearts when they saw this situation. The Conqueror's army was truly worthy of its name. It was an out-and-out army, not an immigrant.

Alas...

Watching the huge army of the Conqueror's army gradually go away, Ye Sandala, who had been officially promoted to the Lord of Afonso City, could not help but sigh.

"They left, the Lord of the City should be happy and relieved, why sigh?" Daphne, who stood beside Ye Sandala, asked with a smile.

As Gavin's spokesperson in Avanso and the Earthbound Knight of Avanso Shadow Territory, Daphne will need to deal with Yeshandala for a long time in the future. The interests of both parties are tied together. The smart and cunning Daphne will certainly make full use of this to develop the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce and the Black Wing Guild.

Yeshandala only knows the former, but not the latter. The reason why a secret guild is called a secret guild is that it is highly confidential. If everyone knows it, it is not a secret guild.

"It's just that I'm not used to going from one extreme to another." Ye Sandala pointed at Evanso and said, "And your words are too polite. During this period of time, I have learned a lot from Lord Gavin and your army. I wish you could stay for a while longer."

The extreme she said refers to the fact that Evanso has changed from extremely crowded and lively to extremely empty and deserted. The whole street is sparsely populated, and everyone is pale and dull, seriously lacking vitality. These are her future citizens. Compared with the energetic conqueror army, it's no wonder that she doesn't sigh in her heart.

"The Lord of the City is really good at talking." Daphne laughed, and didn't delve into the truth of Ye Sandala's words, because it didn't make any sense. "What are you going to do next?"

"It is urgent to recruit immigrants on a large scale to supplement the population of Evanso. With so many people leaving at once, the operation of the entire city has problems." Ye Sandala answered without thinking.

"Is there any effective method?" Daphne asked.

"Preferential policies, recruitment advertisements, we have done what we should do, and the rest is waiting for them to come to us." Ye Shandala humbly asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

She dared not underestimate the drow in front of her, not only because he was Gavin's special envoy, but also because in the past few days of contact, he showed extraordinary wisdom and ability, and some of his behavior style had a strong shadow of Gavin.

This shows that she is Gavin's direct descendant, and has followed him for a long time. She has been seriously influenced by him, and even her thinking and behavior style have begun to converge.

"The Lord Mayor's method is too passive." Daphne was used to Gavin's style of being swift and decisive, taking the initiative, and racing against time. She was a little uncomfortable with this style of doing things that gained everything through time. "You should take the initiative. For example, the towns of Irip and Pros are good intervention points. Their pillar industries have been destroyed by us. Many people should be unemployed or semi-unemployed. We can absorb them from there.

And your recruitment advertisements are too narrow and the methods are too backward.

You have seen the previous advertising model to attack the necromancer. Don't you know Ask Lord Gavin to customize a few phantom advertising stones and send advertising players to place them everywhere?

And you should not only focus on the Dragon Coast, the cities in the green wilderness, and the settlements under the Sunset Mountains. Even Baldur's Gate can place recruitment advertisements.

Don't think that there will be no immigrants in such big cities. On the contrary, the population flow in such cities is the largest and most frequent. Many people may not be able to adapt to the life in big cities and have to leave. They are potential citizens of Avanso. "

Obviously, Daphne came prepared and did her homework before this.

After taking over the task from Gavin, she made the most accurate positioning for herself in Avanso, striving to take the role of counselor and minister of internal affairs from Yesandala, so that she can use the power of Avanso to develop the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, if you want long-term development, you can't be a parasite and keep eroding the interests of Afasso City. Instead, you should be mutually beneficial and let the Conqueror Chamber of Commerce drive the economy and development of Afasso in turn.
