Chapter 605: Deploying Troops

"You can say that, but it's not pure." Kim nodded and shook his head. "Things are far more complicated than this. If you can prepare some of the stones and transport them to the edge of the river, it will be easier to do. At the same time, we should also choose the location where we can cross the river, and those locations where it is easy to build bridges are the best.”

"We know what we should do." This time it was not Catherine who answered, but Gavin. "It's just that regarding prayer, we still need Lord Kim's help. After all, many people's belief in the Wind Slave is superficial. "We need to dig deeper because he deserves respect."

Except for those exclusive priests and priests, there are very few believers who only believe in one god in Faerûn. There are more general believers who believe in multiple gods. When burning paper at the farmer's house, unless it is a special day to worship the gods, it is a festival. There is no way to burn it for an immortal family, but from top to bottom, everyone who knows it must give a share, including some with a bad reputation, not asking for blessings, just asking not to cause harm.

A world without gods is like this, but a world where gods watch from above is naturally even more serious.

It's nothing more than a matter of preference. When two gods conflict, which god do you side with first? This god will be the one you favor.

In the army of conquerors, Ms. Strategist is now undoubtedly the number one. As for who is second, it all depends on their abilities.

Now Tyr, the god of justice, and Tempus, the god of war, have already intervened, and they don't care about the addition of Sandakol, the god of travel and exploration.

"This is my honor." Kim bowed and saluted, "If there is nothing else, we will start preparations now."

This is what they came for. They just need to concentrate on doing this well, and the rest is beyond their control.

"Veranika, please cooperate with Lord Kim. If they need anything, you must do your best." Gavin said to his chief of staff.

The road of conqueror is also the road of Gavin's growth. Along the way, he has become more and more strategic in his strategy and personnel matters. He can select the most suitable candidate without careful consideration at all.

Let Veranika lead this group of followers of the Wind Slave, not only because she has enough power in the army of conquerors, but everyone in the command hierarchy from top to bottom knows her, and it is easy to mobilize the enthusiasm of the following. .

Also because she is the exclusive priest of Ms. Strategy, she indirectly expresses the meaning of putting the God of Strategy first, or in other words, both parties are from the same family, regardless of each other, so Veranika keeps an eye on these Wind Slave believers to ensure What they did next was consistent with what they said.

Although the possibility of them being liars and spies is very small (pretending to be followers of the gods can easily arouse the wrath of the gods), we have to be careful because Benshaba, the goddess of misfortune, has a history of impersonating Sandakol.

Ms. Misfortune is an out-and-out chaotic joker. She doesn't pay attention to any cause and effect in doing things, and she is completely casual. Whoever she wants to be unlucky will be unlucky, and few mortals can avoid it.

As soon as Veronica left with the Wind Slave followers, the entire war conference room became lively again.

"With the solution to the biggest problem, we can formulate a comprehensive battle plan."

"I think this combat plan can be carried out around this cross-river bridge. The plan Commander Kim just suggested to carry a large amount of stones is a very good plan. Next, we will prepare to build an artificial bridge on the Bianhuang River. It can confuse the enemy and prepare them for the wrong response.”

"Not only can we use the method of building a bridge to camouflage it, but we can also create a maze at the bridge building location to disperse the three groups of enemy forces and create a battlefield that is beneficial to us."

"We need to determine the priority of dealing with the three groups of enemies. It is impossible for us to attack all three at the same time. We must mobilize our elites to eliminate one of them first. After defeating it, we can go back and deal with the other two groups."

A bridge of faith directly reorganized the situation faced by the entire army of conquerors. Various suggestions and plans poured out, showing signs of being unable to stop the car.

Gavin waved his hand, temporarily interrupting the brainstorming, and turned to ask the Jackal monk: "Master Flynn, I wonder how much you know about the Far Sea Swamp? Do you know if they will use troops against us?"

"They had already begun to gather their troops the moment you stepped into the goblin wilderness." The gnoll monk nodded heavily and replied, "The Yeenoghu Fang who led me here long ago He has joined forces with the hags in the swamps of the distant sea and has become their minions.

In the past six months, not only have they used hyenas to transform gnolls in large numbers, they have even created new Yeenoghu fangs, as well as abyssal gnolls and beast-type species. According to my incomplete statistics, they have all kinds of gnolls. It has exceeded tens of thousands.

Those hags have been operating in the distant sea swamps for hundreds of years, and all intelligent races are under their control. As for how many troops they can gather, it is difficult to guess. One thing is certain, at least they will not be less than these jackals, because only those with more than Only the powerful strength of the jackals can suppress these demons.

The most noteworthy thing about these hags is the large undead they created called bone claws. Not only do they have the ability to lengthen their bone claws by several meters, they also possess super high intelligence. On the battlefield, they are unbreakable. A killing machine. "

"Abyss gnoll? Bone claws? I didn't expect that they are all old friends. It seems that the method of making the bone claws in Arms's hand was really obtained from the gathering of hags in the far sea swamp." Gavin continued to ask, "Do you know I wonder what’s going on with the fog shrouding the swamps in the distant sea?”

"We haven't figured this out yet." The gnoll monk shook his head and said, "One thing is certain. This fog is not naturally generated. It is closely related to the legendary gathering of hags. They regard this matter as their biggest secret. He is very guarded, and even his close associates cannot tell him easily. "

"This matter is not of much use to us this time, so let's put it aside for now." Gavin suggested, "Master has been working hard for a while. How about staying here to recuperate for a while before making other plans?"

Although the Gnoll Monk is not skinny and skinny, he is still much thinner than the average Gnoll. This shows that in order to remain invisible, the Gnoll Monk has kept himself in a low-intake and low-consumption state for a long time, and the price he paid is not ordinary.

"I have lived here for half a year, and I know a lot about many things around me. If the general doesn't mind, why don't you leave me to listen. I might be able to give you some advice on some things. If you want to rest, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." A kind of sacred responsibility drives this person. As a Gnoll monk, he cannot rest peacefully until all the Gnolls who have been eroded by the power of the abyss are destroyed. This is his greatest motivation for survival.

"Then master, please stay and watch." Gavin gave this jackal monk enough trust. This trust did not come from understanding his character, but the ability to bind the milestones of destiny. His feelings for him were the same as those in the Honey Village. Like the Pixar, it is forcibly locked.

Gavin took a deep breath, glanced at everyone one by one with piercing eyes, and said impassionedly: "The last piece of the puzzle of this war is complete, the situation is completely favorable to us, now we start to formulate a decisive battle plan.

General Susi, you immediately led the trapping regiment to search on the spot to find the best stone. After determining the location, the entire army set off and tried its best to mine the stone. "

There's no one better suited for the task than these kobold trap-makers, whether it's exploration or mining.

Gavin didn't worry about this at all. There wasn't much else in the Stormhorn Mountains except for the rocks.

As long as they find a suitable mining site, relying on their manpower, material resources and daily magic usage, it only takes two to three days to mine tens of thousands of tons of stone, filling all the spare trucks of the conqueror's army. Denden.

Although the conqueror's army owned more than 2,000 large and small tanks and trucks, it was impossible to build a 500-meter-long bridge across the river in one go, even if they were desperately trying to get into the air.

These stones are more like introductions for praying to gods and offering sacrifices to prove one's sincerity. At that time, the real subject should come from the ideological beliefs provided by the conqueror's army and the response given by Shanda Keer.

"Yes." Susie stood up and obeyed.

"Chief of Staff Carissa, you immediately order the entire army to recruit all the people who are proficient in bridge design and construction to form an expert design team. I will come up with a complete bridge drawing within one day, and I will personally lead it at that time. The team, no, not only the real experts, but also those who are good at imagining, must gather here. After all, what we want to build is not an ordinary bridge, but a bridge of faith built by humans and gods. We must dare to think. " Gavin gave the second order.

He now has rich experience in cooperating with the gods. Instead of leaving this kind of matter completely to the God of Roads, it is better to take action himself and come up with a ready-made bridge drawing to let the soldiers and civilians of the conqueror's army remember it and create a preconceived idea. concept, using this as a guide will not only make it easier to gather faith, but the bridges created will also be at least 80% similar to it, which will also make it easier for Gavin and the others to formulate a more complete battle plan.

"As ordered." Carissa stood up in response to the order. Although she did not fully understand Gavin's combat intentions, it did not prevent her from executing it. It was not easy to completely follow his thinking.

"General Darren, General Karl, you will lead the Pioneers and Amputees to this bridge construction site and do your best to build a road, not a two-lane road but a four-lane road, capable of accommodating four floor-type chariots traveling side by side." Wen marked a point on the goblin frontier military map, and then drew a somewhat tortuous route.

This point is naturally on the Bianhuang River, but it is not close to the middle, but towards the distant sea swamp.

The journey from the Thun Swamp to the Distant Sea Swamp is a full 100 kilometers, and the straight-line distance is even closer, just over 60 kilometers.

This bridge building point is a corner that protrudes inward towards the Stormhorn Mountains. It is a little more than 20 kilometers away from the Distant Sea Swamp, but the distance from Thun Swamp to here is as much as 50 kilometers. This is still a straight line distance. If you go along the edge of the wilderness, If we go along the river, it will be more rounded and farther.

The purpose is self-evident, which is to divide the enemy's three forces, especially the Lizard Queen's forces in the Thun Swamp. They cannot huddle in the Thun Swamp. By the time the war is over, the conqueror's army has crossed the river. Maybe he hasn't gotten there yet from Thun Swamp.

The best way is that when the conqueror's army sets off from Eagle Peak Town, they have to send troops from Thun Swamp and rush to their crossing point on the Border River to ambush them.

"General, I just saw you draw a curve instead of a straight line. Is it a typo? Or is it just executed like this?" The person asking the question was Carl, the commander of the Vanguard Army of the Lost Limbs. He was promoted on the spot when the Vanguard Army of the Lost Limbs was formed.

He was from Ximen City and was a Lost Limbs who took the initiative to join the Conqueror Army. He looked extremely miserable when he arrived at the Conqueror Army. He did not walk here by himself, but was smuggled into a barrel of manure.

His appearance opened the eyes of countless people. They saw what the legendary human pig looked like. His limbs were chopped off, his eyes were blinded, his throat was destroyed, and only one ear was left to hear. However, he was a quasi-legendary warrior who was only one step away from becoming a legend.

The reason why he ended up in such a situation was naturally because he blocked the way of the Dark Night Mask, the current behind-the-scenes ruler of Ximen City. He was once a famous rich man in Ximen City. His family controlled the city defense army of Ximen City at that time. He not only refused the bribery of the Dark Night Mask, but also repeatedly destroyed their dark transactions, which completely angered the Night King. He personally led the team and not only sucked the blood of all his family members in front of him, turning them into his vampire servants, but also made him into a human pig, leaving only one ear to listen to the Dark Night Mask's terrorist rule over Ximen City.

He was thrown at the gate of Ximen City, which he once guarded, for a full ten years, lingering like a dog with only one breath left. The only motivation that supported him to survive was hatred.

He was able to live until now, not because of the pity of the people of Ximen City for him, most people did not even dare to approach him, but because the Dark Night Mask needed him to live. He was the one who killed one to warn the hundred, for those who tried to disobey the Dark Night Mask's orders.

Under normal circumstances, he would die at the gate of Ximen City on a cold night with endless anger and hatred.

The arrival of the Conqueror Army changed this situation.

No one rescued him before, not because he was really alone, but because no one dared to provide him with shelter. If they did, they would face the situation of being enemies with the Dark Night Mask and face endless assassinations.

The Conqueror Army almost turned the sky of the entire Dragon Coast upside down, and they didn't care whether they offended the Dark Night Mask or not.

The opponents of the Dark Night Mask in Ximen City used all means to smuggle him out of Ximen City overnight and escorted him to the Conqueror Army. In this process, how they fought wits and courage with the Dark Night Mask and what heavy price they paid, Gavin and others didn't know.

All we know is that when the Dark Night Mask got the news that Carl was escorted to the Conqueror Army, not only did they send assassins to try to assassinate him one after another, but they also launched a new round of purges in Ximen City, implicated as many as a hundred people. It is said that at the gate of Ximen City, where Carl was originally, there was a new human pig, but this one was no longer thrown around randomly, but was imprisoned in a special iron cage and guarded by people in shifts 24 hours a day.

Carl was so angry about this matter that his teeth were almost broken, but he could do nothing about it.

Ximen City must be the most guarded now, and it is impossible to use the same trick again to rescue people again, unless the Conqueror Army can take down the entire Ximen City. Not to mention that the Conqueror Army will not attack a city for one person, even if they are willing to attack, a human pig, a human pig thrown at the city gate, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive in the chaos.

Gavin was naturally overjoyed to have such a person as Carl. He not only wanted the ability and influence, but most importantly, he had a deep hatred for the Dark Night Mask and the dark forces of the entire Dragon Coast. As long as they were enemies of the Dark Night Mask, he would stand firmly on his side and on the side of the Conqueror Army.

It was really appropriate for him to form the Vanguard of the Dismembered Limbs. He did not disappoint Gavin's expectations. Even though he had been a deaf-mute pig for more than ten years, he was not completely useless. On the contrary, his mind became more cautious, calmer, more meticulous, and more eccentric than ordinary people.

"General Carl's observations are as meticulous as ever." Gavin praised sincerely, "This is not a typo, but a deliberate one. When you are repairing, try to make a curve as much as possible. The first half goes to the middle of the Border River, and the second half turns to the direction of the Far Sea Swamp. Don't be too deliberate, be more natural."

"I understand." Carl did not ask any more questions, because this involved the use of tactics in the later stage, which was not something he should ask more.

This road is likely to be a cover, a means to mobilize the enemy's forces. At that time, whether they will really take this road is still unknown.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"No."

"Very good, you lead the Earth Goblin Giant War Group and the Earth Goblin Wolf Cavalry to guard along the way. With this road as the center, all the monster tribes within ten kilometers on both sides will be killed, leaving no one alive." Gavin issued a combat mission.

"Yes, sir." The Blood Oath Warlord Thomas stood up and responded loudly.

"Others are responsible for streamlining the entire army. Some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who are not suitable for participating in the war will form a thousand-man team to carry the streamlined supplies. They will go east to the valley in a caravan mode, and then make every effort to mine stones suitable for building a cross-river bridge. They will set off on time in the morning three days later. Do you have any questions?" Gavin summarized the final orders.

"No." Everyone stood up and responded in unison.

"Then everyone will do their job, and let us lay a solid foundation for the upcoming glorious victory." Gavin waved his hand heavily.

"We will win." Everyone beat their chests and saluted again, then left one after another.
